Fellow introvert here. I have moved around quite a bit, and my advice is not to try to make friends with the locals. Eventually you will, but it is much easier to make friends with other transplants. Like you, they don’t already have support structures and things to do.

This is great advice! I have a motto, “Just show up.” I don’t have to feel comfortable, and I force myself to talk to people. It doesn’t come naturally to an introvert.

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. I hope things go better, and I hope your baby can come home soon!

Here’s the thing, when my Mom was in the hospital, no idea if she was going to live or die, my vagina was turned off. I had no sex drive, no urge to fuck, no desire.

I’m pretty sure had I tried to force a finger up there, or did anything, it would have hurt, because forcing a vagina open without lube is painful.

You are…

I’m in the same boat. Divorced for a couple of years, just moved to a new state a couple of months ago. Just me and my dogs. I’m thinking of joining a writers group, or taking acting classes.

This is sort of animal related. My cat caught a mouse today, which I didn’t realize was a real mouse until it squeaked. I rescued it and set it free outside. So, anyone try or have any recommendations for non lethal mouse traps? This is the great huntress herself, aka Kelly Belly

Moving sucks, and finding new friends is really hard. I don’t really have advice, just be friendly and hang in there. I’ve moved a lot and it always takes more than a year for me to really find my people and start feeling at home.

In my heart of hearts, that dog knew there was suffering around him, and grabbed the dog food and left in search of affected dogs in need of food. You can pry this headcanon out of my cold, dead hands.

Thanks so much for posting an update! I’ve thought about you and your little gift from time to time, but I couldn’t remember your handle! She looks so alert and smart <3 <3 We’re all pulling for you!!

I got felt up by the rental shuttle driver this week and then had the same driver on the way back to the airport. It was awful, and the company didn’t do anything. He had me doubting myself because he used a fake trip and “caught” himself on my boobs. Then my family was joking about it for the whole trip. Cute…

she is adorable. I hope she continues making progress and that she can go home with you soon.

ugh no. i am in the same boat.. lived in this city for 4 years though and only have one real friend besides my husband.. and we’ve been on the rocks lately :(. i miss having girl time! i miss it desparetly. i think the easiest way to meet people as an adult is through work and i work from home. i am going to school…

Don’t worry about TMI, that’s what we’re here for! I hope Catalina gets better soon and is able to come home. She’s come a long way already.

Hello all! I saw turned color leaves today! And a chestnut! What’s happened here, while I’ve been watching my country burn? Lets drink to it all, kittens. I’m raising my Rain vodka (from the large bottle, so I can pretend I drink less because I don’t go to the liquor store as much) and Crystal Light pink lemonade to…

I never post on SNS because I’m perma-grey but I’m feeling good and I want to share.

Evening Jezzies how are you all tonight?

So I just wrapped up on-campus interviews at my top-tier law school and I haven’t gotten a single offer. I didn’t even get more than one callback. I wasn’t all that thrilled about going the corporate/big-firm route, but since Tuesday I have been having low-grade anxiety attacks about whether I’m going to make enough…

Wow. She’s so big. Glad to see she’s progressing so well.
