I’m 35 years old and I just had to ask my mom how to use a lawnmower. I’ve spent the last decade so focused on work that I’ve completely bypassed learning how to be a functioning human being. I don't know how to change a tire or cook a meal that doesn't come in a plastic container. It’s embarrassing to realize that my professional identity has completely cannibalized my basic life skills. Do you all feel like you’re adulting well?

My close friend works for the mayor of my mask mandate city. We are both libs. I think the mandate was once good, is silly now. She just blew up at me when I asked for data to support their position. All I got was “I’m tired let’s talk tomorrow.” I’m disappointed she could not engage and support her opinion.

This past year was/is the worst in my life by far. Aside from all the Covid mess we’ve all dealt with I lost a parent, an in-law, my spouse has decided they no longer want to be married and my grandmother is in hospice with days left. I believe this was/is my least productive year in my career as a result. I’m worried my job won’t be here in a few months and I’m doing my best to hold it together. Sorry to be a downer but I just needed to throw my worries out there in hopes they never come back.

I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
