Need help. Don't know what to feel

bro I have such a weird situation that I don't know what to feel..

I have a friend and she's a girl but for some reason I definitely don't feel any attraction to her at all but she's the only girl I feel awkward around and I've worked with her on a million group ...

"If you don't feel anything, that's okay, she's just a friend. Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean having an intimate relationship. A woman is not an object to be conquered; she is just a human being. So, act like a normal person and be her friend. Sometimes women need male friends who don't ...

That's true but there are some old things I genuinely find to be better than newer things. Like for example I been learning Unreal Editor for Unreal Tournament 1999 ...

As comforting as I find nostalgia for these old trends, I have to wonder how shallow for lack of a better word my nostalgia is, or if things have gotten so bad that a time I hated is now preferable. I think it's a bit of both. I know we shouldn't get "political" on this forum as per the rules and ...

I'm nostalgic for some things but it doesn't have any impact on my current life aside from hobby-related stuff which I think is pretty harmless. However, from what I can tell nostalgia has already been weaponized in the USA. It really looks like boomers & older are nostalgic for their childhood ...
