Yeah, making friends after school is way harder. I would say start by taking an interest in people. Ask them about themselves. I’m shy-ish and bad in large groups. I’ve made a lot of friends through my hobbies. Like horseback riding. I don’t always hangout with people from the barn outside of barn, but it’s a group of people with whom I have something unusual in common and I’m already there riding so it’s easier to talk to them. A lot of people at my office have met people at those indoor climbing gyms. I guess what I’m saying is that as adults we have fewer shared experiences. We all go home to our lives and responsibilities. Also, adult friends are less like those intense school friendships. It’s more like maybe we like horror movies so six of us go to that. But the horror movie people are the horror movie friends. Friends end up in these sort of functional buckets. And that’s okay. I usually meet one or two people in every city I’ve lived in who become 360 friends. The important thing is to find people you can bond with even to a lesser degree. That’s easier to do over an activity than it is elsewhere.

LOL helped my dad financially about $50k and my dad just told me I could’ve bought a house if I saved up my money and didn’t spend it on myself. The reason why he said that is I went to Europe with my mom and spent about $10k without getting a help from my dad and that is what he said 😒
I can be mad at his comment right? I don’t know why he wants me to buy a house when he doesn’t even have one

F here. I’ve had trouble in relationships because idk how to fight healthily. I’ve been going to therapy for it but I’m struggling atm because my boyfriend who I love so much, I’ve brought to his breaking point with my anxiety fueled approach. I don’t blame him. A lot of this stems from watching my parents & their toxic fights. I want to change not only for myself but for him, because I believe he is worth changing for. But has anyone ever gone through this & made it out better?
