2025-09-05 03:12:18 +0000 UTCabout the helping friends question. i really struggle w asking for help too. the mindset that helps me get over it is thinking about when i am able to offer MY FRIENDS something that genuinely helps their life some way, i feel almost honored. i feel immediately closer to that person as a friend. i think it is because i project the vulnerability i have to express when i ask for help on to them and therefore feel honored they trust me enough to express that vulnerability to me.

2025-09-03 23:34:30 +0000 UTC@the guy who became manager. I was in your position a few years ago where I rose up into management position based on my manager getting promoted and other things falling through. You got picked for a reason, you clearly care about doing a good job and if there’s one thing I’ve learned about life it’s that if you give a shit about something you already are on the road to success. The advice given by the boys are great here but there are two things that I would add. Firstly everyone will not work out, sometimes it’s obvious like the guys you mentioned that got fired but sometimes even the nicest people aren’t able to do the job to meet expectations. You gotta just make peace with letting those people go and knowing IT WILL make your life easier not having someone on your team you have to babysit. 2nd piece is always be questioning whether you did the right thing or if you are doing certain things right. If your COO manager who’s offered to help train you is someone you can connect with and run by and get good feedback from, ask to get that feedback. Knowing how you can improve and where your faults are will only improve you. You’re gonna do great man, giving shit matters so much. Do your best, treat people with empathy and always look to improve.

2025-09-03 16:25:32 +0000 UTCFor the MD person idk how expensive it is relative to the other places mentioned, but Columbia md is one of the more walkable places I've lived if you wanted something that wasn't a proper big city. It's got pedestrian bridges and massive footpaths. And I don't know if biking is out in the same way driving is, but you can get pretty dang far on a bike without being on a road. But I haven't lived there since 2015 so it may be totally different now.

2025-09-02 17:02:36 +0000 UTCTheir answer to the helping a friend question seems kinda weird and LA coded to me lol. If a friend has to move, the friend thing to do is to ask if they need help. Everytime I see a car that’s broken down on the side of the road or they ran out of gas, I pull over and stop to help or ask if they need help. I do this because when it happened to me and I had to push my car a quarter mile, nobody stopped and helped and I felt like shit. I wouldn’t want somebody who is already going through a shitty situation, like moving, to go through it alone or without help.

2025-08-30 01:53:05 +0000 UTCYou did in fact make me even more anxious about asking for favours but your answer was also very interesting! I really identified with a lot of how Aiden described his own tendencies— I am also a significantly older sibling/borderline only child in terms of upbringing and became very independent very early. My default had always been to figure everything out myself. Part of what inspired this question was getting close with a friend group where favours seem more normalized, starting to get more asks, and realizing that I actually find being asked for stuff really validating to a friendship and sort of flattering even if the actual errand is a bit of an inconvenience. That led me to question whether my solo approach was silly, since a lot of it is based on the premise that if I were to ask anyone for help it would be annoying and frustrating to them even if they grudgingly cooperated. Anyways, thanks for answering my question, really appreciate your insight!
