My father has been worried about retirement because he’ll be alone and have nothing to do. Hearing him say this also makes me sad about being alone myself.

My parents are 76 and 84. They have a community of friends at the gym and their temple. They socialize and go to parties more than i do. They told me i need to socialize more. It’s possible to live a full life in retirement if you just try

I grew up in a sort of antisocial family, never saw my parents with friends. It’s impacted me as well to the point I had to teach myself how to make friends and hobbies

Loneliness is in the mind. To be a master of self requires solitude and self-development and preservation. Our limits, struggles and vulnerabilities teach us vital lessons about life.

All true, but human connection is still needed at a point

Im tired of being single lol. Used to feel good now it's boring

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
