Andrew Doyle said:That’s exactly what it looks like. Honestly, this phenomenon isn't even that rare; if anything, it's absolutely rampant across almost every corner of social media today. If you actually want to improve your social life, you need to stop looking at a screen and find a physical space to gather—somewhere that doesn't rely on an online presence to exist. Join a local club, sign up for a hiking group, get involved in a pub trivia league, or find a community center. You have to show up in person.
Most of the local clubs had to put everything on hold because of the pandemic, so that wasn't really an option until recently.
darkcyclist92 said:So you're actually quite aggressive when it comes to socializing, huh? You even moved abroad just to be near them, haha.😂
I love socializing and meeting new people. Most of the time I end up doing things alone—traveling, shopping, walking, going out for coffee or hitting the movies by myself... It’s not that I need someone, I just enjoy sharing my time with others. I think that's perfectly normal.
That’s lovely, really. And yes, it is completely normal, obviously! If you were in New York City, for example, I would gladly go out with you and play along with whatever feminine role is required over coffee; it’s no issue at all. 🙂 Sherlock Holmes knows all about those platonic friendship tropes, but personally, I see absolutely no reason to initiate anything, fall in love, or sleep with every single woman I grab a coffee with, even during my downtime. 🙂
It’s a mess over here. Every woman you invite for coffee assumes you're looking to hook up, and if she actually goes, she finds it bizarre when you don't necessarily want to take it further. 🤔
So I just snap back at her: "Why shouldn't it be none of your business?" 😂
It is incredibly difficult when you move to a new place, don't know the language, and your opportunities to connect with people are so limited. I'm still learning the language, so I'm stuck using my native tongue or English for any complex conversation.
Hmm, where exactly did you relocate to? Honestly, I suspect communicating in English would be much easier; fewer things would be taken the wrong way compared to how they might be interpreted in American slang, for instance. Besides, with the massive surge of introverts these days, many people view simply grabbing a coffee as some sort of intense social obligation.
In Germany, you can get by with English, but locals definitely prefer sticking to their own language—it makes sense. Since there are so many immigrants around, it sometimes feels easier to bond with someone from abroad than with a local German; they just don't quite get what we're going through. 😁
Hannah Castillo said:I’m living in Germany and experiencing the exact same thing. To me, it just comes down to comfort and laziness.
People say they want to hang out, but then there's always an excuse—too far across the city, too rainy, too cold, too hot, or they're just paranoid about strangers.
So, I guess I'm not the only one feeling this way! 🕺
darkcyclist92 said:It was merely a component of something larger. And that latter part...
I’m an active person with plenty of hobbies, I’m constantly out in the world interacting with people, and I’m always the one reaching out to organize get-togethers—but honestly, my luck is absolute garbage because every single person I actually manage to connect with ends up moving away immediately after we hit it off. 🤣
It’s quite simple, really—they just plain old bad luck whenever they're around you. 😂 5+ 👍 This topic is absolutely brilliant; you’ve genuinely had me laughing out loud. 😂
In my estimation, people like that are exactly like an old car left to rot in a garage for years; they’re going to struggle just to turn over, let alone actually hit the road no matter how much they might want to. You have to be willing to put in the work, getting close to them and patiently grinding through the friction until their behavior finally smooths out and the basics actually become second nature to them. 🙂 Some people are just fundamentally incapable of being reliable, and they stay that way their entire lives. Lately, I’ve actually been making an effort to reach out and invite folks to grab a coffee, but honestly, it’s a joke—it feels like I’m asking them to go dig a trench in the middle of a construction site rather than just sitting down for a drink. 🙂
By the way, what kind of mess have you managed to get yourself into that makes this meeting seem absolutely vital? You don't come across that way at all. It’s pretty obvious that everyone has moved on from you, isn't it? That’s quite the lonely little portfolio you’re building there—just you and the realization that everybody else left. 😂 I’ll definitely have to use that line when someone inevitably asks me, "So, where are all your friends?" 🙂
That's a good analogy, I feel exactly the same way haha 😲 Seriously though, people used to be down to go digging a hole with me, but now they'd rather just grab a coffee.
It sounds like people are literally fleeing the country just to get away from me hahah. It's actually just a few people who either travel a lot for work, moved away temporarily, or had to head back home for personal reasons. These are three specific people I really clicked with, and they aren't even connected to each other.
I love socializing and meeting new people. But most of the time, I end up doing things alone—traveling, shopping, walking, going to a cafe or a movie by myself... It's not that I *need* someone, I just enjoy sharing my time with others... I think that's pretty normal.
It's really tough when you move somewhere new, you don't know the language, and your opportunities to bond with people are limited. I'm still learning the language, so I'm mostly stuck using my native tongue or English for anything more complex.
At work, I'm surrounded by men 95% of the time, so there's zero chance of finding female friends there... and the people at my classes are mostly older. There are a few girls, but we can't really talk because of the language barrier... I'm okay with one of them, I guess... she invited me out this weekend, but she already had plans. I chat with a guy here and there, we're fine, but I wouldn't look at it as a potential friendship; I don't really believe in platonic friendships between men and women. Even though I'm in contact with people every single day, there isn't much opportunity to develop real friendships, as you can see.
So, John Doe is cruising down the I-95 when he hears a news alert on the radio about a single driver going the wrong way on the highway. And his reaction? "Just one guy?! There must be hundreds of them!!"

For some reason, people just seem to be dodging you :/
It’s funny how people who haven't even met me tend to steer clear, haha. Does anyone have a theory as to why? ☕
I’ve joined a few Facebook meetup groups, and I keep running into the exact same pattern: a huge crowd of people all chime in saying they want to hang out, but the second someone actually suggests a plan, everyone goes silent. Honestly, I just don't get the logic behind it.
It doesn't matter if the groups are local or international. Most of us have just moved here, we're looking for friends, maybe still learning the ropes, and we're all essentially in the same boat. It seems like a great way to meet like-minded people—connecting online over shared interests, grabbing coffee, getting to know one another. I’ve had some success and met plenty of cool people, but things always seem to fizzle out because of busy schedules, people moving away, just not clicking, or people being super flaky and canceling last minute. 😁
I really miss having a consistent little crew to hang out with occasionally, but it feels like mission impossible lately. I’m not necessarily looking for my soulmate or a BFF, just a few reliable girls where we can make plans and actually catch up every couple of weeks.
So, in a group of 60 or 70 people, absolutely nobody is available ON THE WEEKEND to go for a walk, grab coffee, ride bikes, play sports, or hit up an event.
All 70 of those people are members of a meetup group, they scroll through the posts, read the comments, and specifically hunt down the link to join the WhatsApp group—so why? The reason clearly isn't to actually socialize, because in the last group I was in, there was only one attempt to meet up in three weeks, and almost everyone canceled at the very last second. I personally suggested hanging out three different times; I got a few promises and then just "we'll see," and that was it. This has happened with three different groups now.
I’m genuinely stumped. What is the point of joining these meetup groups if you have no intention of actually socializing? Is it just to have another useless group on WhatsApp? To get notifications and invites you don't care about? Do these people have some weird fetish? Do they just want to feel like they belong to a community without actually participating in it? 🙏
I totally get that people have jobs, families, and responsibilities. I have a ton of obligations myself; I'm on my feet from dawn till dusk and work weekends, but I always manage to find time to see people. My schedule is usually set almost two weeks in advance, and I don't deal with nonsense like sudden shifts "because a coworker is sick" or "I have to be home for a package delivery."
I truly believe friendships are vital, especially for our mental health. It makes me sad to see so many people put social connection at the bottom of their priority list, brushing off chances to meet new people and failing to respect other people's time.
When I hear responses like "I'll see, maybe," or "I don't know, I don't really feel like it," it feels incredibly unserious, and honestly, it's a turn-off.
Please enlighten me! If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. I stay active, I have hobbies, and I'm constantly reaching out to people... but I've been pretty unlucky because every time I finally connect with someone, they end up moving away. 🤣
Maybe I'll drift slightly off-topic with my own experience, but hopefully this helps someone out and restores a little faith in people 🤣
So, about nine months ago, I moved to a new place—a different state entirely. It was right during the lockdown, I didn't know the language, didn't know anyone, and wasn't working. It was a total life reset. In the beginning, there was basically zero chance of meeting people my age or with similar interests. For the first six months, I basically just hibernated in my home office, with the occasional walk to the grocery store. Friends? Zero. Social life? Nonexistent. I stayed in touch with maybe three girlfriends back home via text a few times a week. I might have taken social distancing a bit too seriously 🕺
Once the restrictions finally eased up, I signed up for a class and finally started getting out there. I met some folks at the class, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I joined about ten different Facebook groups meant for socializing. Since my English isn't perfect yet, I was mostly limited to English speakers or other Americans living here. I posted a few things and reached out to others myself.
Out of about fifteen messages and attempts to meet up, I managed to actually see two girls, and even that was a struggle (both canceled on me last minute for our first meeting). One went on vacation, and the others either ignored the plans or sent me last-minute suggestions to hang out. I don't really get the logic of searching for company only to immediately leave for a two-week vacation 😁 Everyone seems to find it hard to commit to a simple two-hour coffee date, as if it’s some huge ordeal. To me, they seem incredibly flaky—people who don't really know what they want, and only agree to grab coffee if they have absolutely nothing better to do.
I was, to put it mildly, disappointed. Everyone is looking for something, but nobody actually wants to find it. 😁 I know finding friends through the internet isn't the most popular way to do it in the States, but it's how it happens here.
So, a month ago, I decided to try again. I went out for a drink with a girl I met through a local group (even though in a group of 30 people, only one person actually wanted to go out on a Friday night 😵), and then three other girls ended up joining us spontaneously. After just a few outings, I managed to form a little group of women with totally different ages and interests that I see regularly; occasionally, someone brand new joins the mix 🎉. In another spot, I found an awesome girl I go for coffee or walks with all the time. In just a month and a half, I've built connections that honestly mean more to me than anything I experienced in the last ten years back home.
The hardest part is just starting; you have no idea where it's going or why. But the most important thing is not giving up. Even after so many failed attempts when I was already feeling fed up. So many people struggle with loneliness, but they don't know how to connect with others facing the same issue. If someone had told me ten years ago that I'd be looking for friends on Facebook, I would have called them crazy 🤣
Now, have I formed lifelong, deep friendships? Probably not. But grabbing a drink, chatting at the end of the day, or sharing a silly moment makes life feel much more interesting and easier for me. Who knows, maybe some of these connections will last long-term; that comes with time.
People always connect for some kind of benefit; one side usually gets more out of it than the other. Don't kid yourself thinking otherwise—everyone wants something from someone else, whether it's conversation, advice, fun, or just having someone around so they aren't lonely or to make time pass faster. Genuine friendships are extremely rare, and it's not something people today really want to invest in. They'd rather focus on partners, work, or themselves, and then complain about being lonely at the end of the day 🤔 I know plenty of examples of people who completely dropped their social circles once they got into a relationship. Friendship requires time and effort from both sides, and for most people today, that's the very last thing on their priority list.
It’s honestly way easier to just binge-watch shows all day than to put yourself out there with new people. But the price you pay for staying isolated eventually gets too high—it ends up costing more than a Netflix subscription.
So, here's my take: if you want friends, tell the world! If you don't speak up, how is anyone supposed to know you're looking for company? Get active, join some local clubs or organizations. Show interest in people and invite them out for coffee. Share your thoughts and feelings. And honestly? Just cut out the people who make you feel bad; life is way too short to waste time on them. Don't expect too much from everyone, either. If you find just one person you can truly be yourself around—someone who actually cares how your day went—you’ve basically hit the jackpot. To get what you're looking for, you have to be willing to offer something yourself.
I've gone through all sorts of phases—times when I had tons of friends, times with just a few, a couple of real ones, and even periods where I felt totally alone. My favorite and most eye-opening phase was actually being lonely, because it helped me realize what really matters in life. What's the point of having a life where everything is going great (or even if it isn't 🤣), if you have nobody to share those moments with at the end of the day, or even just once a week?
ruggedhawk20 said:Thinking this rigidly is just a direct result of society brainwashing the individual. Honestly, it isn't even thinking—it's just reciting laws, rules, and social norms. It's someone living life on autopilot.
Or maybe it's the mindset of someone who has actually learned to own their decisions. 😉 Without a sense of personal responsibility, what is an individual or a society? We wouldn't exist if we just kept making the same mistakes over and over without any consequences.
ruggedhawk20 said:The thread title itself is a total joke.
"Did I mess up?"
Look, you can't actually screw up in life—no matter what choice you make. Seriously. Most "bad" decisions are just massive learning opportunities. Life isn't a straight line; it’s more like a series of constant pivots. There aren't really wrong turns, just different paths. If you pick Option A, you get one set of highs and lows; if you pick Option B, you get a completely different set. Every single second is a crossroads where you're steering the ship.
So yeah, asking "did I make a mistake" is pointless. We're basically making "mistakes" every single second we're alive.
I have to disagree.
If you're fully aware of the choices available and the consequences they carry, then a person absolutely can make a mistake. Sure, every error can be valuable because of the lesson learned, but if you already know a choice is the wrong move and you go through with it anyway, there's no excuse—especially if it hurts other people.
Decisions carry weight; they have better or worse outcomes, whether they are short-term or long-term. It doesn't matter.
For example: someone gets behind the wheel drunk and kills an innocent person—I don't think there is anyone on this planet who doesn't know that driving drunk is a terrible decision. Did that person make a "mistake," or did they simply make a choice—one that perhaps might lead to some positive outcome down the line that somehow justifies all the wreckage caused by a conscious, bad decision? Hmmmm. 🤔 I wouldn't want to be the judge here; people definitely make mistakes, and often quite intentionally. ☕
Some mistakes are unforgivable, especially when they become patterns, and some simply don't result in anything good.
As the saying goes... Quote : art with Heart: It's said that a wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others' mistakes. but The wisest person of All learns fra others's successes
Matthew Gomez2 said:Hello everyone. Lately, I’ve been distilling my various life phases into one singular direction, and I wanted to put it out there to get some perspective from those who might know better. 😉
I’ve walked away from college entirely. I’ve deleted all my social media accounts for good. I’ve cut ties with about 99% of people, leaving just my girlfriend and my parents. I’ve bought over a hundred books on psychology and philosophy with the intention of deepening my self-understanding—fields I’ve always had an affinity for. I’ve dedicated myself to daily reflection, thinking through how to decouple myself from the machine as much as possible. I’ve embraced minimalism (getting rid of about 80% of my wardrobe, sticking to a specific diet, and refusing to spend money unless it's absolutely necessary). I’ve started learning the ropes of investing and building passive income streams that could eventually overtake my primary income once I leave my current job. The plan is to move out to the countryside with my girlfriend and live a quiet life, far removed from the noise of shallow people and the frantic pace of modern life. I’ve replaced all my bad habits with ones that actually hold value.
Am I being realistic here, or have I completely sabotaged my future? Does this kind of mindset actually lead anywhere?
To be fair, if someone else had made these moves overnight, it would have been catastrophic. But I didn't just snap; I spent a long time sharpening my blade before I finally cut everything loose. Because of that, none of this feels overwhelming. In fact, after a long period of sleepwalking, indulgence, and believing in fairy tales, I feel incredibly awake and driven.
A little story to wrap this up:
There was a man living in a coastal town who would spend his mornings fishing and selling his catch, his afternoons working on personal projects, and his evenings sitting by the beach with his wife and kids, drinking wine and playing the guitar.
One day, an American businessman arrived. He noticed the fisherman and approached him, asking if he could offer some advice.
The man agreed, and the American said, "I can help you significantly increase your sales. You could buy more boats and gear, hire a few employees, eventually move to a major city to start a firm, and ultimately end up in New York City running several global companies."
The man simply asked, "And how long would that take?"
"Well, maybe twenty or twenty-five years," the businessman replied.
The man asked, "And then what?"
The businessman answered, "Then you'll be able to fish in the mornings, work on yourself in the afternoons, and spend your evenings by the beach with your family, drinking wine and playing the guitar."
That resonates deeply with me. I’ve taken it to heart. What is the point of grinding every single day for someone else just to satisfy the emotional whims of others, or to remain enslaved to our own habits and useless clutter? Establishing a meaningful existence is actually quite simple; it just requires the discipline to understand what a human being is truly meant for.
Why wait to actually live your life when you already know what you want and realize most of what the world chases isn't even real?
Thanks for reading. I'm open to any thoughts—whether it's practical advice on setting up a life in rural America or suggestions on what kind of work I should pursue.
I hope no one finds this topic out of place here, but to me, this is fundamentally about spirituality, self-discovery, and shattering the illusions of what we think is real versus what is just a fantasy of the mind.😵
How exactly did you cut contact with everyone if you're posting this on a public forum asking for feedback? The moment you start seeking validation from strangers on the internet, you know you haven't fully committed. If you were truly certain about your choice, you wouldn't feel the need to ask. Good luck with the plan, but I suspect you might not be ready for that lifestyle.☕
Being sensitive isn't quite the same thing as being an empath or being assertive.** Not every sensitive person is an empath, just like being sensitive to caffeine doesn't mean you're naturally submissive. 😵 Besides, what does a caffeine sensitivity have to do with actual personality traits? 😁
I’d suggest looking into some actual theory and using better examples here, because this feels a bit like a jumbled mess right now.
James Martin10 said:The fact that your parents neglected you emotionally and physically doesn't mean you're a victim of what you call "screen addiction." Instead of actually showing up for one child, it was just easier for them to shove you in front of the TV and distract you with junk food to drown out all those other emotions.
Rather than blaming the television, you should probably take a hard look at your parents—though I know how difficult that is. It’s incredibly tough to shatter that idealized image of the loving, perfect parents we want to believe in.
Because they ignored you, you learned to ignore yourself. You essentially learned to suppress your own needs. As a result, you likely didn't have the emotional capacity to build healthy friendships or even connect with who you really are, because you were sidelined by your primary caregivers and then continued that pattern with yourself.
Screens aren't inherently evil; the fault lies with whoever hands them over. For some people, it’s just the path of least resistance. If a kid is being demanding or difficult, they just hand over an iPad or turn on the TV and consider the problem solved.
Let's be honest, most of us growing up in America during the 90s were raised by the TV. We all were. It served as this ultimate escape where you could just tune everything else out.
They taught you that this was the easiest way to exist, but sure, let's go ahead and blame the TV for the fact that your parents, for whatever reasons, couldn't find the time or energy to truly engage with you.
What can you actually do? Go see a therapist. Work on reconnecting with yourself and healing all those things your parents neglected during your upbringing.
Wow. That's a great response. 😲😲
Look, staring at a screen is your "safe haven"—something you associate with security. You keep returning to those roots, especially when life gets tough. In your case, it seems like you're struggling to accept your own character and the fact that you can't always be who you want to be. It's your coping mechanism.
For me, gaming and drawing are ways to escape reality; they help me kill time and shift my focus. They aren't the cause of my laziness, but rather a way to soothe the negative emotions I feel when I realize how imperfect I am. Is it healthy? Not really. But if the "escape" is short-term, it might not be harmful—it just lets the emotions settle so we can find a new perspective.
In the long run, though, it definitely is harmful; for me, it's a direct line to addiction.
You can't change your childhood, so what is it that keeps pulling you back into the past? You have a family now, so you aren't lacking anything. You're doing better than most; try to enjoy the present. You don't even have a TV right now, nor do you have an addiction. What is there to regret about the past? 🤔
Carl Rivera43 said:Honestly, hanging out on this forum is way more productive than grinding through some war simulator, don't you think?
Why do you think that is? 🍿
I don't really see why gaming would be a worse way to spend time. I play them myself quite a bit, and I've actually met or gotten closer to so many people through them. They’re a great part of my life. It’s just like someone else mentioned about this forum—it's all about connecting with people. 🙂
I enjoy this forum because I love reading different perspectives. I wouldn't say I'm addicted; I can easily go without it. It's just become a daily habit to read something new. Since I'm a fast reader, I don't spend too much time scanning through the threads that interest me.
Addiction, huh? If you start breaking out in a sweat at the thought of being without something, or if you can't imagine a single day without it... then you're definitely neglecting other responsibilities in your life.
No kind of addiction is good, whether it's forums, gaming, or adult content.
I've felt that way twice in my life. The first time was with video games when I was younger, and the second was when I started playing online casino games. I hit a decent amount once, thought I could chase an even bigger win, and ended up losing everything. I hit zero and never went back to it—but man, quitting was incredibly hard. I couldn't believe how addictive it could be. 😁
On the flip side, cigarettes don't trigger that feeling for me at all, even though I tried them plenty of times. Most people told me, "Don't even bother, you'll get hooked instantly," but it wasn't like that for me. 🤷
As for forum addiction, I think some people definitely have it—that feeling the author mentioned. Even when you feel bad about it, you find yourself coming right back. It sounds familiar. You know it's bad and you're neglecting other things, but you just can't stop. The brain just keeps asking for more. 🕺
James Price83 said:I eat three big meals a day, basically just whatever is easy to grab during the day and evening. Since I don't smoke, it's mostly sweets and fruit. It’s frustrating because if I eat a bit more than usual one day—like having two cookies in the evening—and then try to watch what I eat the next day, nothing changes. I know most people would dream of 😵 being able to do that. Could you describe your diet while you were gaining those 21 kg? That’s pretty impressive. Did you use protein supplements or just stick to whole foods?
As for training, I've never actually been to a gym; I've always just worked out at home. Right now, I'm using a home Workout app, mostly doing bodyweight exercises.
Try tracking your calories for the next 10 days. I'd bet you aren't eating larger portions than recommended every single day. Sugar itself won't make you gain much weight; it's really about your total daily calorie intake over a long period. The main thing is consistency. Try eating 500 calories above your maintenance every day for the next month and let us know if you see results.
That's how I used to think too. It was just genetics; I've always been thin, I eat a ton, and I can seriously eat a huge amount. I love sweets and never really cared about the scale... Then I started tracking my intake, joined a gym, and realized my eating was all over the place. One day I'll hit 2,000 calories, the next maybe 1,500, then 1,000, then 2,200. I was doing it all subconsciously, so by the end of the week, I was always back to zero. My weight hasn't fluctuated more than about 6 or 7 pounds over the last few weeks.
The only time I actually gained weight was when I went back to the gym for a second time. I made sure to eat above my maintenance every single day, so my muscles grew, and the weight came with them. I jumped from 125 lbs to 136 lbs in just two months. However, I realized that wasn't for me. Eating that much every day long-term just doesn't suit my lifestyle. I've always had my own rhythm without strict rules, and weighing myself and counting calories every day just wore me out.
Gaining or losing weight without all the extra fluff is, 95% of the time, just a matter of calorie deficit or surplus. No genetics, no magic, no magic wands involved...
If it isn't discipline, then what else could it be? 🤔 Is there really some secret shortcut to suddenly killing your appetite?
In 99% of cases, people gain weight because they’ve essentially trained themselves to eat more than they need on a regular basis. You don't just pack on 65 pounds overnight; it happens gradually over time.
It all comes down to your habits—what you eat and how you eat it. Certain foods will keep you full much longer than others, regardless of the portion size. Focus on finding things that actually satisfy you for longer.
There’s no deep philosophy here, and there's definitely no magic wand.
Are you working out? And if so, are you doing it correctly and how often?
When it comes to food, it really is just a matter of habit, and those can be changed through discipline.
I haven't touched bread in five years, nor do I eat processed stuff like canned meat, hot dogs, or deli meats... and I had eaten those my entire life. Back then, I didn't have a choice; now, I do. I work out whenever I can, mostly at home now since my gym is closed. I invested $83 into my gear, and I can hit every muscle group with it.
I assume you have a choice too, you just might not want to make it.
P.S. We’re coming from very similar backgrounds where you were expected to clear your plate every single time. The portions served to me were often double or triple what I needed. There was constant pressure—praise if I overate, and criticism if I didn't. I would have easily hit 220 pounds if I had listened to someone who was extremely overweight and complained every day about how everything hurt and how she couldn't even walk because her waistline was spilling over her pants... It was a huge lesson for me; the thought of overeating like that actually grossed me out.
I used to be pretty stubborn, choosing to deal with insults or punishments rather than doing something that felt wrong to me. Of course, everyone is different.
I know three Leos pretty well: two girlfriends and a guy friend. I wouldn't say high intelligence or an interest in the arts is their common denominator, but I have noticed they all share this incredible charisma. They’re just so open and approach everything with such energy... I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but it certainly doesn't feel like one to me. Maybe I should start promoting them more! 😁
Hey everyone, I'm running into a bit of a headache with my Office 2007... Every time I try to open Word, PowerPoint, or any other program in the suite, it tries to trigger some kind of installation process. Everything is already installed, but a little window pops up saying it can't find something. I just hit cancel, and everything works fine after that, but that annoying pop-up is driving me crazy! Does anyone know how I can get rid of it? Any help would be appreciated! 😁
