I drifted away from most friends from school since they aren’t the type who are active on socmed(or they all have their own group chats in Whatsapp or somewhere, because I wasn’t the most liked person in school), but fortunately I’m still good with my uni mates and some online friends circles. I did get kicked out of one circle for being too inactive, but I don’t play the same games with them anymore and don’t share common interests with them(other than the game we used to play) so it was hard to catch up. In my case, it’s more of a time issue because I have a lot of personal activities.
I think friends that stay the longest are those who you can just share anything with, even the lamest shit ever and they won’t care that much.
Both my relationships and projects are of course important. I used to have time for both, but I have been working overtime a lot lately, so I don’t have enough time to balance everything as a result(hence the immense stress I am feeling now). I’ll give your suggestion a try… thanks for talking to me.
I hope you’ll find better and meaningful relationships soon, hopefully with truly good friends.
My friends are aware I have a lot of other things to do. I used to mentioned a lot that I’m busy working on my project aka Monyet.cc’s Blahaj Bot back when I was spending almost all of my free time on coding. My friends understand if I say I’m busy, but I’m afraid if I say no too many times I’ll end up upsetting them. The friend who made the complaint used to spend time with her ex, but her family kept trying to separate them because they didn’t like him and they barely talk to each other anymore. Combined with the fact that controlling family also chased away any ‘non-educated’ friends(?) that she had, she doesn’t have a lot of other friends she can play games with. I understand her distress since my family is also quite controlling(albeit to a much lesser extent), although I live in a different state so they couldn’t monitor me. (My parents became super upset whenever I talked about my online-turned-IRL friends until they met them. )
Have you guys ever feel pressured to spend time with your friends? I need to dedicate time to my personal projects, so that doesn’t leave me with a lot of time for games and fun. I recently returned to Valorant, and while I don’t have time for aim training, I am totally fine with that(I used to play the game quite seriously).
But things are different when I have to spend time with some of my friends. They basically don’t have any other hobby, so they only do one kind of activity in their free time. They also don’t have a specific someone who can always spend that time with them too, so I ended up being ‘that person’. I also got slightly tilted when I heard the line ‘I don’t like to wait’ from one of these friends when she was complaining another friend of mine doesn’t respond to messages and isn’t active(but another friend and I are kinda okay and we usually just played until he comes?) , and that makes her look selfish because everyone has their own activities, right?
I understand that my friends are stressed from work and they feel lonely, but it’s not like I don’t experience the same thing… If anything, I have been fighting off my negative thoughts for more than half a year, and it took me that long to finally find a way to flip my mindset whenever it goes bad(and that still doesn’t solve all of my problems). Drawing boundaries is one way to solve the problem, but I have lost friends in the past before precisely because I didn’t spend enough time(sometimes almost the whole day except my classes) with them, and I don’t want the same thing to happen again.
Work can go die, health is more important :(
Didn’t sleep much, gonna yolo it today. Thankfully tomorrow is a holiday 🌚
Too late now :(
:') I should have took Friday off man
Yet another week of suffering is here:'D
Take care!
client is not client if they don’t have pattern 😱
get well soon :(
Couldn’t even queue up man… KL gateway KFC queue like crazy 🥹
I could go to the one near where I live but I have to walk super far and I have to avoid lunch/dinner hour
I want to sleep. The only reason I dragged myself to office instead of begging for wfh(I OTed till 9.30, so my site manager would have probably said yes) is because I want that KFC promo and I ain’t eating 2 of that myself.
Lmao you got me there 🤣
Lawful neutral. I use a laptop instead of a desktop so I have no choice. I would get a second monitor but it would things very cramped.
Some client is doing demo so I was forced to deploy to UAT outside of work hours… then an error that didn’t occur when I was testing previously came in and I had to spend time fixing it.
Man OT so much… today OT till 9.30 😞 How do I have a life
I actually screwed up twice on dev environment. Luckily the second case was salvageable without using data from an old backup(I wasn’t given one that time) and I managed to sweep it up fast.
I started testing my queries super carefully after the first incident, but I was too tired once that I forgot to restrict the update scope for testing and screwed up again.
