Why is that I always end up alone? Everyone I love, family, friends, romantically, either moves away, breaks up or dies. Am I so unlucky? #ForeverAlone

It's not just you. I'm always alone and folks assure me that I have a great personality. Life is just weird sometimes. Don't internalize it. Focus on giving others as much attention and love as you can so that they never have to feel the way that you do, let that be your legacy.

I'm going to take another route, and say maybe you can do some self improvement. Of course you can't stop people from dying, but all your girlfriends shouldn't be leaving you.

OP, I think part of your disappointment stems from you being too giving. It's great that you're supportive and want to help people out, even when they've inconvenienced/hurt you, but you gotta draw some boundaries and take care of yourself too. Always giving and giving and giving will lead to disappointment bc not everyone is like that. People will take and take and there comes a point where you have to stop giving. Otherwise you'll always be disappointed bc people will take your kindness for granted

Dies??

Yup only you

D2: While at that route, could you give some tips too? Been always there for them (even if they needed my support after the break-up), giving them all the love I can, being nice. What more self improvement do I do?

Don't be too hard on yourself: I am sure you are a lovely girl. Sometimes it's a matter of time.

What reasons do they give for breaking up?

EY2: I'm a guy 😅

PwC1: Have tried a lot to learn to say NO, but never managed to do it. Break-Ups is something I can deal with, but I'm scared when time just takes people away from me (like them moving countries, states, cities and sometimes death).

D2: sometimes it's been mutual, sometimes it's career over relationship, sometimes it's their parents 😪

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
