You'd think I enjoy social interactions with how well I do with customer service and making people feel comfortable sharing their life with me. But I don't, lol. I am always so exhausted I do not want to talk after work hours.

I feel ya. When it comes to my work, I can put on the best smile and calmest voice to help my clients. Only because I get PAID to do it. Outside of work, I'm not too fond of social interactions. No one dare disturb me in my home!

I think this totally makes sense for people in our line of work. If you spend your work days talking non stop, then of course you don't want to talk all night (unless you're like a SUPER extrovert). Hopefully your partner or roommates understand that, or you live alone and you don't have to explain yourself to anyone!

Felt. My people skills hit rock bottom working for a call center. Talking to ppl from 9-6, some days not even getting any mental break between calls

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?
