    How can I establish and then also keep professional relationships with coworkers?

    Most places I've worked, there aren't really any opportunities to cover for people or assist them in their duties, or provide for them in other ways. At the same time, none of them do something after work that lends itself to other people being involved or accept invites on your part. Even if...

    How do I "take solace" or "be proud" of turning the other cheek, when every instance of doing so backfired short term and long term?

    For every life lesson I've learned, like petty things to not argue about or make a big deal about, there have been exactly 0 opportunities to avoid an argument about something. When it's just between peers, people just ghost you out of nowhere, no rhyme or reason. You could lose someone you've...

    I'm so bad with social connections that it even shows through when I pray for someone else.

    Everyone who I prayed for a better relationship in their future, without fail, found a worse one. Even people I probably wouldn't have seen or contacted again, I always end up finding out that their life just kept getting progressively worse. 100% of any real life relationship success stories...

    Mental health support website?

    I've of course tried Reddit. On several different mental health "support" subreddits, you can follow every rule to the letter and then some, and still get blocked anyway. Ditto if you were to ask another member what words to avoid saying on this subreddit so you don't get blocked. Therefore, I...

    Why would I be saddled with such a strong desire to help people, but only ever meet those with 0 tolerance for support?

    Monday at 4:45 PM #1 By "support" I don't mean actually solve a problem they have. I get how unsolicited advice might be taken the wrong way by some people. I mean more like when I meet someone anywhere that gives people the time of day, they're always the type of person that doesn't get along...

    Looking outside of the church for people in their 30s. Ideas?

    I've tried the churches themselves (not really found one I feel connected to, so I've hopped around) but my experience has been that's not a good way to meet people, unless you spend a lot of time reading the Bible and have riveting conversations about it. I've tried volunteering with the...

    What kind of churches have activities for people in their 30s?

    I've found plenty of youth and some young adult and senior groups, but nothing for my age group so far. Where should I be looking?

    Looking to meet other Christians in their 30s

    I'm in Lenexa, KS. If a non-specific location like that isn't allowed, then sorry, I'll remove this post. I'm looking for a group of people in their 30s that does either board games or sports, or maybe volunteers on the weekends or something like that. Any ideas?

    I've never learned something about friendships that helps me in any of them

    Every positive sign I've noticed anywhere, any time, has turned out to mean nothing. Even the length of time the relationship survived, or the number of times we hung out without ever having an argument, or what brought us together in the first place, all has been for naught. It's one thing if...

    Experience has backfired in every job I've ever had- even using experience from the same job within the same job

    When I've noticed things that are a "hot spot" for a boss, I've set him off by making even the slightest tangible effort to AVOID his hot spots. For example, a stereotypical thing that everyone's been yelled at for once would be efficiency, BUT, it has backfired every time when I listened to...

    Just want others to know what I've gone through since college, I guess you could call it a rant (G-rated, I promise :) )

    I've tried to make a forum post saying "I fixed an issue with X on game Y by doing Z" on a forum specifically for that game, but no replies. I've also asked for help with a game before, and gotten no replies. In terms of hardware, I've posted about PC hardware on PCMasterrace on Reddit, but I...

    I'm new here. Trying to find online ways to chat with people but feeling detached

    I am flexible with the idea of using online ways to make or maintain friendships (COVID and all) but the problem is, I've tried so many websites that were all ghost towns, where no one accepted or gave any advice or had conversations, or could relate to any negative experiences either.
