Stuff that immediately puts you in a down mood whenever your thoughts come upon it
My father's death a month ago šš
Thatās rough, Iām sorry š
Lack of an honest loving partner and my shrinking friend circle .... but both are there for a reason so Iād say the reasons make me sad not the consequences
What is the reason if I may ask? I am in the same boat.
Well in relationships these days I guess monogamy is too much to ask for and Iām def not poly.. and in friendships ( and otherwise ) most people are superficial, passive aggressive, disloyal and are there for convenience or just cause they donāt want to be alone ... Iām very okay being alone ... I donāt want to give my time to people who arenāt honest and genuine... nor do I want to waste their time ...
Demagogues
Home repairs. Traveling long distance for shit I don't want to do. Phone trees because they're always written by someone who's never been a customer of whatever company you're calling. The cost of health care. The cost of daycare. Thinking about moving again. JavaScript. Buying a home. Selling a home. Renting a home. Renting an apartment. Buying cars from car dealers
Working at FAANG meant being surrounded by asocial techies with surprisingly little diversity and most likely in cities that are populated by the same demographic. Working at non-FAANG means being second-class citizen as an engineer and second-class pay. So for sociable American engineers like me, itās an ultimatum between liking my coworkers vs liking my TC/impact, or sifting through all the crap to find the rare teams/companies that have both, and itās sad going to onsite after onsite seeing how this ultimatum usually reflects reality.
Mostly familial conditions - a few years after my parents finalized their divorce while I was in high school, we (siblings, parents) all went our separate ways. I grew to be pretty independent but also never got around to creating many close/lasting relationships with friends over the years - not sure if it's just in my nature or if all the drama/trauma from back then influenced things in some way. Anyways, latest ex and I lived together for years and she was rather clingy since I was her first. The time elapsed definitely made me become less independent and so the split, while needed and mutual, makes the holidays rough since it's back to day 1 again for me and no family's around, while she's got that support to fall back on.
