Ik this is dramatic okay but no travel, bar scenes, and opportunities for social events for the foreseeable future makes me feel like I’m missing out on my 20s and also makes it a lot harder to make new friends

I don’t know that I agree that it’s feasible to continue that long even in NYC. I do expect any company who can productively continue working to still encourage people to wfh for a longer period though. The fact is that if you take away 1/5 people’s ability to make a living, the impact is extreme enough for people to stop adhering to policy. I hope they loosen policy in the lowest risk ways before people’s tolerance runs out

Sometimes bad phases happen. Sometimes they are under your control and sometimes not. I had about four months in 2010 fresh out of bachelors, underemployed, broke and depressed where I stayed in and watched super hero movies. And then things got better and I went out and seized the world and did all kinds of things that had been on my List (travel, live abroad, try new things etc). In retrospect I wish i had watched fewer marvel films and read more, focused more and prepared myself more. 🤷‍♀️ this will be over before you know and we can go back to cancelling plans last minute.

I have added a daily routine of giving my wife of foot rub when we unwind at the end of the day, and it has been awesome for our marriage. It’s an easy way to be supportive and take care of someone who takes care of you, and it’s a great way to unwind for me because it requires just the right amount of engagement to be present. I take the time to listen empathetically to my wife’s day and just be there for her. It only took me about 15 minutes to learn some great and easy techniques on YouTube!

Men, how do you make yourself feel sexy and successful?

I feel like, I've dependend on my partners to validate me in those ways. But that makes me insecure & dependent on them. They loved me but idk if they "wanted/desired" me.

To feel sexy, I'm working on losing weight and then building muscle, but that'll take time and fade away with age anyway.

To feel successful, I mean... I have an OK career and savings, but I just don't identify either as success.

Maybe, I just want to feel desired.
