I'm a very shy introverted person sometimes I go to the bar alone on weeknights just because I have this fantasy of like running into a woman who's also alone and we really hit it off. I've stopped because I'm trying to lose weight and it's not a helpful habit but loneliness is real

Why not try other clubs or activities instead of a bar?

We can be friends, OP. Where are you located?

Pittsburgh

You can still go to the bar and try to meet people, just don't drink beer. Or you can eat a smaller dinner to "make room" for the extra calories you'll be drinking. What are you doing to lose weight? Diet should be prioritized and then things like daily walks and working out. Loneliness is real and it's loud, but there are people who are there for you even if you don't realize it. <3

Stay consistent, I understand its hard, but it gets easier the more you do it! Find activities you enjoy doing so working out doesn’t become a “chore”

I know this bowl seems to be all photos 😍 but serious question for all you hard-working, king-hours dog owners out there... do you ever feel guilty about how much you're working and leaving your pup at home alone? How do you get over that guilt? Do you use doggie daycare every day or just a few times a week? Do rely on a roommate or SO to help? I'm a single lady and would LOVE to get a pup this year but am fighting the guilty feelings, so any advice would be much appreciated!

I discovered I was gifted about two years ago. It made me realize that the reason why I was ‘weird’ was because I was different. It took me almost 2 years to understand that I shouldn’t hide my difference. I love the way I think but it’s not typical. And I get very frustrated when I’m asked to do things the same way another ‘typical’ person would’ve done them (no judgement!). Anyone in the same situation? Would love to hear your experience, especially in account management :)

I am 29F, doing great at work, have amazing family and friends. Everyone thinks I have everything anyone could ask for. And I realise that too, BUT I’m NOT happy! I have crazy working hours, I haven’t dated anyone for 6 years now. Didn’t find anyone right, or maybe didn’t have a lot of time to experiment. I think it’s the void of not having a constant with me. And I don’t know how to find one now! Everyone knows me as a cheerful person, but honestly I’m just a sad, depressed and a lonely person.
