Things feel like they are back to March 2020. Just tested positive for Omicron (I’m boosted pls spare me) so now spending the holidays alone in my studio apartment, can’t get a Whole Foods delivery slot, and relying on food delivery apps like UberEats and Caviar (and even those are taking upwards of an hour and a half given the demand). Two years and back to the same ish!

Same. Just had to cancel our Paris trip because my bf tested positive for COVID. Will spend my bday and NYE in my apt…

Hope you get well soon. COVID is the biggest human lesson in patience and finding the positive in crappy circumstances.

OP- hopefully you’re better!! I’m backed and booster and got diagnosed yesterday. Definitely feel you, and looks like I’ll be spending NYE at my moms house instead of my beautiful Chicago

Sorry to hear that! It was hard for me to be alone in my studio for the past week incl. Christmas but I got through it by journaling, making a long to-do list of admin stuff/online shopping and then actually doing it (!) and binge watching Netflix.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager.

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?

For context we are both Muslim but I was under the assumption that he was modern (we drink alcohol, have sex and so on). Honest opinion is this a red flag?

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
