For example, the combined rent is 200, first split into 100 and 100. You bid 5 more USD (105 - 95) he bid 20 USD (80 - 120) until the other guy won't bid more.

It’s not weird to go to movies, concerts, sporting events, etc alone. I’ve learned this by moving to new cities where I’ve known no one. The first few times my anxiety made me feel like everyone knew I was a loner and I didn’t belong. Now I almost prefer it.

And you also meet people going places alone. If your passion for your hobbies outweigh the need for social support, people do generally respect that, and you’ll end up making friends along the way because of it

It's okay to always be that friend who starts up the conversation. Never assume they don't like you or don't want to spend time with you just because they don't text you first or invite you to things. Don't ever tell yourself that without evidence to back it up.

It's a two-way street and they want to feel accepted and feel like they belong just like you do, at least to some degree. You reaching out tells the other person that they are important to you. This boosts your self-esteem for stepping out of your comfort zone and helps them feel more confident in themselves. Double win and you get to spend time with a friend.

Edit: There's this friend of mine who we literary became like brothers and sisters. The first time I visited her I was so surprised everyone in her family knew me. I moved to a new city 4 years ago but always kept in touch with her. I was visiting my parents and called her for us to catch up before she gets married. She said she's too busy in that weekend and she can't. Okay. Fast forward a week later, my other home friends sent me pictures of her wedding. It turns out she got married that weekend I was visiting my parents. I have tried to call her since then but she's has not picked up, apparently she's angry I did not come the wedding.

Edit 2: I knew she's getting married this year but not sure about the date. I'm not blaming her but had she told me she's getting married that Saturday. I would have been there. Now there's some strange theories as to why I was not in attendance. I even come to this sub to look for tips of wedding presents.

For the American crowd: The ACA requires insurance companies to cover contraception without cost sharing with the patient since it is considered preventative care.

However some insurance companies use loopholes to make you pay, and say it goes to your deductible so it’s a good deal!…

When I went to pick up my prescription yesterday I was told it was $500! It was previously $0 every time I picked it up over the past year. I called insurance, and they said I hadn’t met my deductible so I pay full price.

I looked into it more, read about the ACA protections, and discovered the insurance company stopped covering the 90 day supply and now only covers 30 day supplies.

I was almost scammed $500 from the insurance company had I not dug into this more.

I’m sure there are many other medications that run into similar issues, but this is something I recently discovered and I thought I’d pass along the info.

If you are going on a trip, you are excited and while packing you can also clean the room. When you come back, you are a bit tired, you have clean everything, and you can relax.

Coming from a trip to an unclean and unorganized room might make it tougher to clean and organize the room.
