As someone who’s spent almost every holiday season alone for the last 5+ years, the best advice I have for you is to treat it like a self-care day. Make or get your favorite food, take a long bath, get outside for a bit. I know everyone always says “there are other fish in the sea” or whatever, but let yourself take the time to process and move on. It’s okay that you’re upset. Just don’t let yourself wallow too long - there are cool people out there! I hope you start feeling better soon 💜

Yo, OP is not exactly beating around the bush with their other posts, they’re as straightforward and candid about what they want as can be. Why do you think they’d suddenly try the subterfuge route? Is it really that surprising that even though people like getting dicked down, they might just want a chill meal on Thanksgiving?

Reply to comment by _R_A_ in PSA: Please turn on your headlights at night by T-Rowe-Price

I commute to work via 360 East and there are semi-trucks and cars and trucks that have these ultra-bright headlights on them and I have to move my eyes to the right to avoid eye contact. Also the ones that speed up behind and then go around instead of getting into the left lane before passing by.

I'm sorry. That's terrible and life does indeed suck sometimes. But with that said, I'm proud of you for having the courage and emotional boundaries to separate yourself from this person if their presence is not good for your mental health. Hopefully they understand if you were to communicate to them why you can't be around them for a while, and perhaps if/when the dust has settled, you can reconvene your friendship.

I’ve been in this position before. Did they hire the new guy on because they want to put you on something else? The only thing that’s ever helped me is having a frank convo with my lead to try to convince them to assign the new person to something else. Good luck, I don’t envy your position atm

I do a Friendsgiving before the holiday, then usually spend the holiday hiking in the morning with the dogs and treating it like any other day I have off. Very chill.
