So my friend is 35 and saying she doesn't know what she wants to be. She's been taking on jobs that aren't long term, have no health care benefits, no room for advancement, nor any perks. She hangs around really young immature girls who aren't going places (as in no plans beyond today). Seems like she's having a crisis maybe. Then she complains about not getting a good guy but she gives every man in our apartment complex her number. These men never want anything serious, use her or already have someone then she gets mad. i feel like I'm always talking to her about my goals or career plans for the future but she never has anything going. Should I address it or let her be? She just seems lost and at her age most people have steady income and a career going.

I am working on a book about finance, and I'm changing names to discuss valuable interactions with people I no longer interact with.

Would you rather your name be mentioned in a book, or would you rather your name be changed?

How old were your parents/grandparents when you lost them?

Idc about statistics, I want answers from real people.

I constantly get compared to my siblings by people. It really gets annoying !
People mostly compare me to my older sisters.
- Your sisters are way thicker than you. ( Yeah well they're also older than me )
- Your sisters are so much smarter than you. ( Good for them )
- Your sisters hair is way curlier than yours. ( cool?)

Blehhh bleh bleh

There's a stereotype about dogs wanting human food, but in my personal experiences, my dogs don't bother, but my cats will literally try to take your food out of your hands.

Okay prepare to be confused...
SO HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING...
If you found out your FIANCE was having a baby by someone else in your family and that they had revealed they recently slept with your SIBLING who revealed that your STEPPARENT advised them to get together since they had a better connection but the BIOLOGICAL PARENT advised against it and then revealed they only advise against it because they were jealous and used to date your fiance too before you met them yet your BEST FRIEND then revealed they’d been keeping this all a secret but that they caught your fiance cheating with your GRANDPARENT last week, who would you be mad at first? Who’s getting snapped on?

I mean surely you’re mad at your sibling, parents and grandparent for all sleeping with your fiance. And you’re mad at your stepparent for encouraging it to all go down. Then of course you’re mad at your best friend for keeping it all a secret. Shoot maybe you’re even mad at your damn self. (by the way nothing incestual going on here.) But who are you taking your anger out on first?

Supposely a parent loves you, looks out for your best interest, wants the best for you and wants you to be happy right?

Well whenever I hear horror stories of parents constantly voicing their disapproval of their child's relationship, badmouthing about their partners to their child and others, threatening to kick their child out of the house or disowning them, trying to set them up for a date with someone else and going out of their ways to make their dislike super obvious... that makes me think that's the total opposite of love.

Love from any close one (whether it's a partner, parent, friend, etc) should never be controlling, toxic nor overwhelming to the point it makes you argue or hate them. Would you tolerate a friend controlling your life no right? Same thing. Are those really the actions of any loving parent?
