I miss the days of getting to know someone by talking to them. I am an awful conversationalist by text.

There is one person who I've only ever communicated with via memes.

It's one of the most cherished relationships I've have in my life... Ever.

That sounds amazing.

I'm a caller haha. People will text me and I just call. Bugs some people but w.e. I will forget about your text in all of 3 seconds.

I don’t know what happened. I remember like 10 years ago, I’d constantly chat with people on the streets, go for walks, a coffee or party with people I’d just met (and then we would part and never see each other again). This doesn’t ever happen anymore. No one ever just casually chats with me anymore (and I travel a lot) and if I try chatting I just get bewildered looks. Is this the outcome of the pandemic?

Hi, I need your honest opinion on this.

been talking to this girl since a year. Different cities, met on a trip.
Both are text person so talking happens over chats. No calls.
But I am not sure if she's into me.
Few things which make me believe that she's into me-
-everyday good morning goodnight texts, sharing posts about relationships throughout the day
-sharing her childhood memories, pics
Things which make me feel otherwise-
-she casually mentioned 'find a girl first' over a Convo about fantasies.
- emoji game

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.
