Is it better in life to show off more? I like to stay under the radar and do things that bring me joy. But wonder if being more outward with my success would change things, or does it bring unwanted attention

I firmly believe in living like old money Conneticut. I'm not flashy, I don't tell you the details, and I won't tell you about my trips or expensive hobbies unless it comes up naturally.

Also, grandma drinks.

When you don’t like the other thing and call it “show off”, then you know the answer to your Q

I think it's ok to show other people your achievements as long as you don't make it your personality and do it all the time. If you've worked hard for something, nothing wrong with patting yourself on the back every once in a while. Just be humble and be sure to give credit to people who helped you along the way. Would help to know the context of "showing off" though. If it's just money I wouldn't do that

It depends. If it comes off entitled or fake then just don’t. If it’s something you’re excited about and your energy slips through then it’s fine in small doses, as long as it’s not the same story every week.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?
