Wait a minute, there’s an algorithm here? Mine just glitches every time I get to the first set of ads and boots me up to the top of the feed again. If this is considered an algorithm I am💀.

Last week I did ask a couple of friends to text me in the afternoon to check on my gym plans because their opinions & support actually matter to me. That said, I couldn’t do that very often. It was a stopgap measure to help me when I was feeling low. Mostly, I have to rely on my own internal reasons to keep going
Most of my efriends on here I've known for years and to this day they still motivate me to keep going but getting close to people, that doesn't interest me anymore.
Yes to the bold!!
I keep this account cause I have a friend here who messages me only here. I have other friends from here but they message elsewhere. I've actually met several in person so it makes sense to not just communicate here. We send Christmas and birthday gifts even! And the forums are just a fun way to kill time when I'm avoiding my laundry fairy duties
I guess since I spent my teenage years being athletic and basically being told what to do now I just find that incredibly unmotivating.
We're all different. But this all was just to basically say, and I suspect it's true for others, if you send a friend request it's not you, it's me and I'll be deleted
That’s really cool. I love that you’ve made genuine friendships. I have most of the people important to me outside of here now. There are a few holdouts. My FriendRequester is broken and I don’t add people often anyway anymore. Hard to keep up. I wouldn’t say I get motivation from people here. I knew to be serious about any of this I couldn’t let anything outside of myself keep me going. No gym buddies, no nothing else to depend on. Not to say I don’t LOVE the encouragement people have given me. It means the world. I do get inspiration from people. It does make me happy to see people succeed. I would say I’d give up the forums (and I have for times) before I gave up on the wall side. People are really nice to me there. Although interactions all around (including myself) have gone down.
Anyways, you didn’t ask. But it was fun to think about. And I really loved reading other peoples takes on this. Thank you!
It's neat to hear others' motivations. I often think
I'm weird cause I don't like a fun buddy. Well if I were to go to the gym haha too much pressure to do something not on my terms. I'm like that with the rink if I really want to work hard I go when no one else will be there so I can do whatever I want. Maybe I'm just selfish 🤣
Although I do like encouraging people I just don't want it back...I'm weird
My oldest boy and I are similar in that we both try to go to the gym when there is no one there. I’m not as crazy as he is because he’ll go at two in the morning to avoid people. I sometimes wonder if this is actually detrimental because it has something to do with not being open to accepting
help. I’m probably just over analyzing again0 -

I’m more of a - “what are your fitness goals” kinda guy - then I move into sharing recipes and what not -
I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve “known” you for so long or what it is, but to me you do not feel superficial. I don’t know how to say this right. But you are good people And you can go ahead and send me some recipes
Just sent you my latest instapot banger 😎

Maybe he just feels a little insecure and like people would be watching him? Or just like being alone and in his own head and thoughts? Or he doesn't want help who knows 🤣1 -

I think it went well insofar as I spoke mostly intelligently without a lot of gobbledygook. I met three different people. It sounds like a pretty busy and somewhat stressful position but also interesting with room to grow. The commute might be a *kitten* though.

I’m not too sure. We have communicated via email since the interview and she has asked me to send two professional references and if I’d be available for an in person interview towards the middle of August. (We’re all on vacation for the next week or so.). I am having definite anxiety about giving up such a cushy position.

As @cmsienk you are in the best position with this. You basically hold all the cards. As my mom would tell me before any interview (and she worked in HR for a bit hiring people) an interview is you interviewing the prospective employer as much as they are you.
It's great that you don't need this job so if you don't feel it's a fit you can turn it down but how lucky are you that they want to proceed further.1 -
Is there anyone here who knows anything about Nashville??? Of course I have volunteered to organize a group to go to this adult competition there win October partly so I can plan a fun outing for us all. Now I need to figure out a fun party spot0

I just worked on a program in Nashville and the client bought out this place for a private party. But I think it's open to the public on days it isn't booked for a private party0 -
