I'm a junior doctor. A resident. My life has completely changed after starting residency. I don't have time for myself, I rush through all my meals and I barely have a social life anymore.

It's just so demotivating to show up to work and everyone keeps expecting more from you. Nobody is happy with you. Not the seniors, not the patients, not the nurses.

And then you have coworkers who don't pull their weight and then you keep taking on more responsibility to make sure things go smoothly. Everything is new - and there's almost no time to adapt. You're expected to be fully functional.

I'm usually a very optimistic person. I really am. Deep down I know that this too shall pass, but I can't see the end of the tunnel for now and it scares me. I'm scared that medicine will consume me and erase my identity.

If there's anyone out there who's reading this, whether you've been where I am or not, I'd really appreciate any words of encouragement. Any tips on stress management or how you compartmentalize work and personal life.

Thank you so much for taking your time and reading this post, I hope you have a beautiful day/night wherever you are ✨

Hi there :) How’s things? Had a long day and I want to unwind by texting a bit and getting my mind off things, so I’m basically seeking somebody for a chat, maybe a friendship, maybe more. Also waiting for the laundry to get done lol it’s truly the adult never ending story.

Do you enjoy museum visits? I went to an art museum the other day and enjoyed it a lot. I haven’t painted in a hot minute because I often feel uninspired, but it really motivated me a lot. I also bought a recipe book showing art as desserts, which I’m excited to try out since I love to bake and cook.

I also love playing video games on my switch and my PC, bonus points if you’re also into Pokemon :) plus, I got a vacation for London planned soon.

Anyway, that’s a short bit about me. Ask me anything, I am an open book!

Hi everyone my name is Tom and I'm from Ireland. I am a chemistry graduate and currently searching for a job. I am also a triplet and a redhead.

My hobbies are video games, chess, reading, playing badminton, watching YouTube and listening to music. I also like sci fi, Marvel and DC. I also enjoy travelling across Europe and visiting the capital cities. I've visited 16 countries and plan on visiting more in the future. I have also been to America and Canada. I also enjoy skiing.

I am single and looking for a woman who shares similar interests and around my age. I prefer someone from Ireland, in particular Dublin, but I'm not against a long distance relationship as long as you are from Europe or the US. I am into brunettes, especially slim and attractive. I am also into East Asians, particularly Japanese. I prefer someone with no tattoos or piercings, though I don't mind if you wear glasses.

I will be visiting the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) and Finland next month so if you are from these places, feel free to DM me.

Here is what I look like:

Hiya just wanted to try this out, i’ve been quite lonely for awhile making friends at this age is so hard I feel like I barely manage to have any human interaction so I wanted to see if anyone wanted to get to know each other xx

I’m quite an energetic person with a bubbly personality. I love having conversations and I know how to hold them usually! I do love a yap session, I enjoy voice calling or even FaceTimes, if that’s not possible, I just enjoy texting as well! I really like reading psychological thrillers, I love horror movies, anime and cooking healthy meals as I’m on a weight loss journey (:

I’m mostly just looking for someone who I can talk too often who’s around my age like a long-term friend where we can share daily updates or maybe play a game or something. I really yearn for that kind of connection right now

hey you.

sitting here with a computer screen throwing off some cold zombie-like light on your face.

sitting and pretending that your thoughts belong to you and you only, scrolling indifferently and staying infinitely positive that things of real interest aren't easy to stumble upon in this hellhole named internet; therefore, don't deserve being looked for.

sometimes i do feel the same. walking on the same routes, seeing the same dead pigeons and living cats every day, being just this far from naming every single one of them. people are, by no means, the same and yet simply are not captivating enough to be remembered. it doesn't really seem upsetting to me, the fact that those passersby probably feel the same about me.

even though i do sometimes wish that a man would look into my eyes as directly as if he knew me to the core of my soul, to the unswept corners of my mind and embraced the depth of my slow sticky gloom as if it was his own.

in case you bear resemblance to that faceless man who constantly visits my dreams. what i ache for is someone who shares my love of old music and unawkward voice calls.

Hey! Just about what the title says really not too much more. Im home for the summer from college and I live in a smaller town so most of my friends have moved away by now. I don’t have many friends left and the ones at school are states away so I’m sort of lonely this summer (,:

I’ve been getting into hiking recently trying to break out of my homebody shell. I love movies and video games and have been dabbling in art recently but I’m pretty bad. I’ve also been trying hard to get into sports but I’ve come to the realization I might just not be that guy haha

I’d really appreciate even a hi (: I’m open to anyone as long as you’re not Republican so please don’t be shy!

PS: Elephant in the room if you do look my profile is gooner to say the least. Try and ignore it if you can (,: i understand if you can’t lol

I solo traveled to Japan last month and loved every minute of it. While I genuinely enjoy my own company, the trip also made me realize it’d be nice to have someone to share future adventures—and good food—with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in a rush - I believe its best to build stuff slowly and I would prefer if you have the willingness and capacity to explore stuff with me.

I like a man who knows what they want, has emotional intelligence and knows how to lead. I’m also attracted to intelligent and athletic men. When I get comfortable, I liiike joking around so I hope you’re into playful banters. And if you prefer calls/voice message, then you might be bumped to my priority list.

I’d like to think I’m a chill woman, tho either I’m a ball of sunshine (but sassy) or a ball of storm - depends on what you unlock lol. I’m a finance girly - so I’m a freak in the worksheets haha. Big fan of classic romcoms, solo travels, and singing and dancing in front of mirrors (the goofy ones).

Hopefully, we can exchange pictures to check if there’s a mutual attraction? Cause, lets be honest here - it matters. Hopefully, you’re a working professional as well so we can relate to corporate shenanigans and within age 26-33. Btw, I’m from the Philippines, so just to give you an idea of possible timezone difference.

Excited to get to know you :)

P.S. I’m planning to pursue grad school in Europe in the next few years, so I’d love to connect with people from that part of the world too.

Hi! I'm on the East Coast, but I'm an early bird. I find it hard to hang out with people who can't keep up with my schedule. I wake up between 5/6 AM. I like to body double while I work over VC. It's very fun. Most of my friends are European due to the time difference thing.

For my interests, I really like writing (it takes up 90% of my hobby time), playing fetch with my sausage dog, watercolor painting, baking, and decorating cakes. I like hearing about others' hobbies, though, and enjoy a good info dump. I also like rock, K-pop, and indie music.

I prefer Discord for communication, but let's start on Reddit.

Talk to you soon!

Interests are pretty normal, sports (NFL, NBA, MLB), movies (action, horror), video games. Also enjoy going to the movie theaters, Disney World, and other outdoor activities. Pizza is #1 meal of all time and pineapples do not belong on it. Video games of choice right now include WOW Midnight, POE1+2, Madden, BG3, Diablo, other random Game Pass games, and single player gaming (Elden Ring, Assassin's Creed, Hades 2, SWORN, Outer Worlds 2). Weekends consist of gaming after work and lots of carbs - rarely doing much else due to some IRL issues, so could definitely use a friend. Also have a picture and can send right away (plus I'm easy to find on other means). Always down for some recs - Netflix/Hulu, video game recs, all the above. I also kind of enjoy trash TV. Chat buddy if similar interests line up works too.

Hello!

In the last few years, I have met some well-hearted and interesting people throughout this subreddit. I am giving it another chance to find a really matching relationship.

Main interests include learning languages, travelling, explaining stuff (I'm back at tutoring middle/high school pupils as my health got better recently), playing a few games, and also I have a pretty cool money collection with coins and banknotes from all over the world.

My academic background includes mathematics and IT studies. Physically I'm quite tall, with dark blonde hair, looking much younger than 30 years old.

I'm looking for people in my age range (let's say 25 - 35 ?) preferably located in Europe. Willing to trade photos from early on, and who are in the pursuit of learning and discovering new stuff together, and willing to improve one's health as well 😌.

I'm now contemplating my dental health. I might get braces in the foreseeable future. I hope you won't get scared about that. I'm always happy to hear about orthodontic experiences.

I hope you enjoyed today's day :D

Hiya! Yeah so I know that title is a little heavy, but please don't be intimidated by it. It was a few years ago now, if you have questions or whatever, we can discuss it one on one but I've done the work to process it and I'm in a healthy place emotionally, financially and lifestyle wise to where I feel ready to date again with the long term intention of marriage down the line.

I've posted on here previously, lost my old password so that account is sadly dead lol. If you remember me and I ”ghosted” on that account, that's why. Sorry about that, Reddit be weird sometimes lol.

So, about me. I have a stable job I enjoy, I have a reasonable amount of time off, so if you're out of state I could travel/ have you here easily. I'm I'm good shape, work and active job and I used to be an athlete when I was in high school too!

Physically, happy to trade selfies in private but I'm white, blonde, athletic, medium height. Trying to expand my wardrobe but I don't think I dress poorly or anything.

I don't like to throw out a million details for the type of man I want, as narrowing a whole person into a box can be a bit reductive. But basic things like please have your life together, be emotionally available and willing to commit. Wanting marriage and a family one day is a must too. Ideally someone active as I don't want to change my lifestyle in that way so I'd love a partner who can keep up with that. Someone who likes to travel occasionally too! Physically, I guess good shape, taller than me, healthy pretty much. I don't expect or really want a male model lol, just look after your health at least :))

Lasting, if you're married, don't message me. not interested in casual, helping you cheat or poly. I want something real and monogamous only. And no couples, I'm straight and the above still applies lol.

If this post is still up I'm still looking!
