Your usual selflessness is nudged aside (for the moment) by some very inward-directed instincts. Why not just go with it? When you get tired of being there for everyone else and feeling a little neglected, you need to say so. Your honesty can really cut through any residual feelings of resentment or frustration. Believe it or not, people are much happier to hear what you really feel.

If you’re uncomfortable with the inconsistencies in this person’s story, maybe it’s time to talk. Online communication void of verbal nuance is easy to take out of context. Clear up the misunderstandings.

Work and play are the yin and yang of life. Make sure your dedication to your job isn’t overshadowing your time with your partner. Balance is key, so reprioritize your tasks so you have time to frolic.

Your office celebrations are not extravagant. It’s hard to get excited about what’s in store for you if you decide to attend, but don’t let yourself get stuck in the doldrums thinking about it.
