I have no idea what I’m doing. Life is a little overwhelming, and I want to keep growing as a professional but in a different direction than where I’m at right now. Switching careers and industries is so difficult. Props to those who’ve broken into their first job after a career change!

Tbh, you're not alone. I did the career change just before the pandemic and did still feel stuck foe the past 2/2.5 years. I think I have determined a new career path, but I don't even know if it is "right" for me. It is overwhelming.

I was a virgin till 26 and then kind of got obsessed with the idea to make up for lost time and I am now at 12 people. Putting aside the whole happiness/ marriage thing, does that seem like a good number to be confident in. Are you people higher/ lower? Is this close to the median? TIA

Considering moving into this apartment complex, and it's a gorgeous little gem and recently renovated, but I just learned that it's a former WWII US Army medical facility... So, like, I'm not super into ghost stuff, but it's kind of eery to imagine sleeping in the same room where some poor WWII soldiers might have gotten their feet amputated or whatever. That, and apparently the leasing office isn't great. All that said, should I go for it? 🤔

I have a constant fear that my dates are just flirting/saying sweet things without meaning. I fear investing into them, getting excited for our date, etc. because I feel like they’re just playing me & will ghost me at any moment. I used to fall fast when I was younger, and now I’m terrified I can’t trust my intuition. Had someone love bomb me a year ago & I have no clue what to believe is true (do they really enjoy me, or are they just saying that?). Can anyone relate or know how to fix this?

I’ve spent a long time working in nonprofits and higher education and I am so excited that I’ll finally be leaving. I feel like I’ve been in a cult for over 10 years and I feel extremely jaded and played. Yes I know many of you are going to laugh at me for believing that working for nonprofits or education was a good thing, but I sincerely did think that what I was doing was for the greater good. I’m embarrassed I used to think that way. I can’t wait to leave and never come back. 🏃🏾‍♀️
