Note: These prompts were originally published in my article: ChatGPT prompts for affiliate marketing.

Her affair actually ended. She had lied to me and told me it had ended months earlier. She wanted to apologize. The divorce is in the works. Court date at the end of the month.
I wasn’t sure about meeting with her. Every time we met/talked it absolutely ruined my week. I reluctantly agreed.
She informed me that she has come out of a fog and she realizes how poorly she had treated me. She said that she is worried that she may have ruined any chance at an amicable relationship for our son.
I started to get upset and she couldn’t deal with it. She got up and left. Nothing has changed. I have never been given the grace to express my negative emotions. I have always had to walk on eggshells.
I sat reflecting on the experience and I thought I don’t need to be giving of myself to someone who keeps hurting me.
Throughout this whole order Al, I have never raised my voice, if I wasn’t crying, I have remained cool and calm around her.
I got so angry that she came to apologize and didn’t give me to opportunity to be mad at her. This is upsetting. Being mad is what a normal person would be in this situation.
I sent her this message (this is the first message I have ever sent her about our relationship)
“Here is everything I wanted to say to you tonight.
Damn you for blowing up our family and Meng’s family. Things weren’t easy, but they were objectively better than a year prior. We were in a hard season of our marriage. Just look back at all the fucking major life stressors. Baby, moving, new jobs…1,2,3 of the hardest things for couples to whether. You threw it all away so you could have butterflies and tingles. Then you went back and Cherry-picked all the bad shit and rolled it up into a beautiful affair justification. I believe that you were struggling before you cheated, but even your stories aren’t consistent. You didn’t want to end our marriage until you fucked John.
I wasn’t “happy” either Keri. You hadn’t approached me for intimacy either. I longed for it, but it felt gross being the only one to make advances. Every time I tried to bring it up, you would clam up and shut down, so I didn’t want to upset you and somehow make it worse. I maybe brought up our sex life 4 or 5 times over the course of our marriage and you shut down that conversation every time. It was better for me to live a life without the expectation of sex and maintain a loving relationship with my partner rather than risk upsetting you with another attempt at “the talk”.
I never wanted a sexless marriage, but I was willing to compromise. Yes, marriage is about compromise. I tried to make connection with you, I did everything we talked about in therapy. I called you during the day, I rubbed your feet on the couch, I came to bed with you most nights to talk hoping you would give me a signal that you wanted to be intimate. I’m glad you were able to find someone you wanted to have sex with.
I couldn’t get openly upset at anything (especially you) and tell you how I felt because you shut down and withdraw. You do it to you mom. You do it to your dad. I know because I talked to them more often than you did. You did it tonight! As soon as it became uncomfortable, you just left. Everyone who loves you has to walk on fucking egg-shells or else Keri is going to walk away.
I wasn’t perfectly happy either and I had nurses throwing themselves at me since we set foot in a hospital. I managed not to fuck anyone else. I SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN EVERY TIME. let me know if you want specific examples. I could even give you names.
You say you were miserable like that is some kind of excuse. If you were so miserable then you should have just ended the marriage and not fucked John and caused me the most incomprehensible suffering and pain.
You also were unfaithful to Our son when you chose to do this. You robbed him of the chance to have an intact family for your crotch tingles.
You can tell yourself whatever story you need to live with yourself. Go ahead and tell yourself that this doesn’t count as an affair since you were already over the marriage. Make me out to be some awful person. I known you can’t be the villain in your own story apparently. You have written yourself into the hero or victim roll. I was there for all the gaslighting and blame shifting. I remember when you said “I don’t let you be your true self”. What the fuck is that. What a stretch. I never once discouraged you from doing anything you wanted or liked. I supported your every endeavor. I watched your child as you went off to conferences to fuck other men. I know that you 100% believe it. You’ve gaslighted yourself. You’ve reinvented and reshaped your reality and story to make it more palatable.
I am not a bad person, father, or husband, but I was quite broken. Predominantly due to emotional and physical abandonment in our marriage.
You seldom said “I love you” unless I said it first. You seldom expressed appreciation for the things I contributed. You did often suggest that it wasn’t enough, or that I was missing the mark. You broke me down. What I needed was for you to come to me and tell me you were concerned. Instead you were inpatient and irritated. When I was anxious or sad, you were irritated and wanted me to figure out my own shit. I was lonely as hell.
As I said, and seemingly so offensive to you, initially I had never felt as loved and as appreciated by another person before you. (I believe you said it made you feel “vapid”). In addition to your other amazing qualities at the time, your love and devotion was reassuring and made me feel safe and secure. It set you apart from every other person I had ever met. I remember thinking that I had never really known what true love was until I met you. I genuinely felt like I had found my missing piece, my other half.
When that went away, I started to get sick. I mistakenly related my self-worth to what you thought of me. When you stopped appreciating me, I plummeted. Once our son was born, it seemed like I couldn’t do anything right by you. That is a hard place to exist in.
I made WILLING sacrifices for our family, but they were sacrifices nonetheless. You have to appreciate, my life is absolutely not where I wanted it so that you could have what you wanted. Fuck! I am such a fucking chump. I didn’t put up a fight at all. I wanted California, you said no. I wanted Oregon, you said no. I wanted to stay in Philidelphia, you said no. You wanted West Virginia and I said Ok. I never put up a fight because you would most assuredly shut down.
I am a good man. I have good morals. I am committed. I have my faults and struggles and I’m not perfect, but I’m a hell of a father and I loved you. You said it yourself that you would never have to worry about me cheating on you.
I think you feel guilt. You expressed that tonight, but I don’t think you feel remorse. You weren’t asking for forgiveness. I’m fact, you preemptively said that you didn’t expect it!
I am so unbelievably sad, angry, and betrayed. I would have been willing to work through anything (even the fucking infidelity!) to preserve our family. You’re naive if you think you can hurt someone this bad and then get the relationship you want and on your terms.
You also destroyed all the good memories I had of us. I can’t look back on our marriage without seeing through the lens of suspicion. I don’t even know what was real. I know what I felt was real and that’s about it.
You probably have already stopped reading this and I’m 100% sure you’re not brave enough to respond. I have held back for nearly 6 months and I can’t anymore. What you did was fucking terrible. It is the worst thing anyone has ever done to me. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I never knew this depth of sorrow was possible. Washing someone’s dishes while they planned their next conference-fuck-fest via text standing 6ft away from me. Crying because my entire world was falling apart and seeing the look of irritation on your face as you walk silently by. Barely holding on to existence and having to psych myself up because you had invited friends over for dinner and when I said I couldn’t do it, you said “do whatever you want”. You fucking hated me for reasons you invented. You were working as hard as you could to villainize me to live with yourself. The absolute contempt and complete loss of respect you had to have for me. Do yourself a favor and pick up a book on infidelity. Everything you did was ON SCRIPT! You’ll learn a lot about yourself. It takes a special broken person to cheat.
I’m climbing out to the other side of this one rung at a time. Your going to see a complete different person that isn’t going to be walked all over and taken advantage of. I will not be a doormat. I will speak my mind. I will not be afraid to stand up for the things that I want and need to be happy and healthy.
You are losing a really good man. Maybe you’ll never realize that. Maybe you don’t give a fuck. Maybe it’s not even a loss to you. I am the fucking prize here Keri. I am a smart, charming, motivated, good looking, and now fit/healthy surgeon who is an excellent father and wants more kids. I am the fucking prize. You don’t see that for some reason.
I’m around if you want to talk.
Kind regards,
Me

I, a 45 yo female, had my bottom two impacted wisdom teeth removed in the mid '90's around the time of my braces treatment. I don't remember much about it other than waking up during the surgery, to loud radio music, the surgeon and nurses talking and laughing, and a couple of cuss words amongst their conversation. Then I blacked back out. I also remember having an allergic reaction to either the pain med or the antibiotic, but since I was taking both, I don't know which one caused the reaction.
When I had the first surgery, there was no reddit, no widely used internet. I had no one to advise me, other than my surgeon and orthodontists' offices, which I of course didn't spam them with my fears, I just followed their post-surgery instructions to the letter. There were no other young adults around me having their wisdom teeth removed. My parents and other family had had theirs out two decades earlier. I was seemingly all alone and freaking out about whether I was healing normally.
Fast forward to 6 days ago, I had my upper wisdom teeth extracted. They'd erupted long back with the lower ones, and were fully grown in. In fact, they'd been in so long, that with no lower teeth underneath them, there was no opposing force to keep them from moving slowly down further and further. My dentist told me they may stop moving downward, or they may eventually start to touch my bottom jaw bone, and when that happens, I'd definitely need to have them removed. He recommended it 12 years ago when I first started seeing him, because he said all they do is catch bacteria and start to decay. But I held firm that as long as they weren't causing problems, I didn't want to go through another surgery. I was able enjoy to not worrying about dry socket for 25 years since they erupted. Until this year when they both developed small cavities.
Now, here I was, this week terrified of getting dry socket. Everything was a breeze up until day 3 when my pain gradually got worse, and I just about freaked out. I started re-reading my current post-op instructions, reading every dental website I could find, and I came into this sub. I was convinced my blood clots just didn't form at all (because nothing had fallen out). All of my fears were being laid out by other people every hour of the day. I got plenty of answers and personal experiences to help me relax and realize that if I'd developed dry socket, I would KNOW IT.
I found out that days 3 and 4, or for some people 4 and 5, are the worst for pain, and that it can take up to 48 hours for anaesthesia to be processed fully out of the body. No wonder days 1 and 2 were such a breeze. I was very worried that at my "advanced age" (although 45 isn't old!), I might have a more difficult healing period.
So far, so good. I'm on day 6 and seeing the swelling in the sockets finally reduced to where I can see in the holes, and I can see the last remnants of the blood clots in both of them now. I'm taking my ibuprofen 3x a day. Sleeping well. Eating mashed potatoes, apple sauce, strawberry shakes, yogurt. So far, my healing is right on schedule.
Just want to let everyone know I think it's really great that we have so much information online to refer to, to find comfort, see pictures, to get our questions answered. Take the positive stories that you read here to heart. Yes, it's scary. Try to relax, follow your instructions, and consult your surgeon or dentist with any problems for the answers that fit you specifically, because they really are the ones you need to be ACTUALLY listening to. But geez it is so amazing to have this sub!! Best of luck to all of those going through this now and in the future. Happy healing!
There's a great informational website called Animated-Teeth that I read over and over all weekend long.

Have you ever experienced something that shook you to your very core? Something that makes you remember every single little detail of your surroundings from that moment in time? Even years after? I can remember so vividly the moment I realized something was wrong with me. I was in my junior year of high school sitting in class, just like any other day. I remember the smell of erasers and cheap cologne that permeated off my classmate who sat next to me. I remember the scratchy tag on my t-shirt and how I was resisting taking it off in the middle of class just to cut it off. I remember what my teacher, Mrs. Brown, was talking about; 'the fall of Constantinople'. My mouth felt dry and I kept looking at the clock, counting down the minutes until I had lunch so I could get a soda. The sound of a pen clicking behind me was synchronized with the song that was stuck in my head.
All those things were going through my brain at once. My ADHD mind went a million miles per minute when it all came down to a cashing holt when I felt it at 11:23
I felt what I can only describe as a hand grabbing at the inner lining of my stomach. It didn't necessarily hurt, not at this point. That's not why I got so scared. You see, not only do I have ADHD. I also have OCD that manifests itself in the fear of anything growing or moving inside me. Even if I think about the concept of blood moving in my body or a heart that is beating in my chest, I have to think of something else. I've had full-blown panic attacks because of it. The closest term for this is 'Tokophobia'. That's technically the fear of pregnancy. I'm a guy, so it's not completely accurate but it's really the closest term. I mean, I also do have a huge fear of pregnancy. Not necessarily of me being pregnant, but even though I knew I could never get pregnant, the thought of it still made me feel sick
I bet you can imagine the terror that overcame me as I felt something moving in me. I made an audible groan and grabbed my stomach. My whole class turned to look at me. even my teacher stopped talking to ask if I was okay. I stood up and started to run to the nurses' office without even acknowledging my teacher. My first thought wasn't thinking that something was actually in my body. Even stomach aches and the feeling of gurgling in my stomach made me feel this way before. I didn't have anything on hand to help with a stomach ache, unfortunately. However, the nurse always did.
I sprinted across the school hoping and praying that my stomach wouldn't make that awful feeling again before I got there.
I turned the corner into the nurses' office with my tennis shoes squeaking in the process. I saw the school nurse, Mrs. Kennedy sitting on the couch in her office reading a magazine. She looked up at me with a sweet smile that quickly turned into worry.
"Sam, what is it? How can I help?" She said as she stood up and hurried over to me. Putting her hand over mine which was grabbing my stomach tightly.
"It's…It's my stomach. Something is wrong with it." I mumbled with a red face.
She shuffled her way over to her large medicine cabinet and she motioned for me to sit down.
She asked me questions about my stomach. Asking if it was pain, grumbling, cramps, nausea, etc. As she was asking me what my symptoms were and digging through bottles, The feeling happened again. However, this time was different. It felt like fingers grassing against the inside of my body. I screamed and wrapped my arms around my torso. Mrs. Kenneddy ran over to me to comfort me.
"This seems a lot worse than normal, maybe we should call your parents." She said as she put her hand on my back.
It felt like some days I saw Mrs. Kennedy more than my teachers. Any small ailment would distract me so badly from class that I had to go see her. Sometimes multiple times a day. She knew at this point when something was really wrong.
Within about 30 minutes both my parents were there with us. That may seem fast, but I'm an only child and my parents are very aware of my tendencies. They know I can spiral and like to be around if it happens.
They kept asking me where the pain was. I think they assumed by the way I wasn't responding to their questions the pain must've been really bad. The reality was that I just didn't know how to tell them what was going on.
I got so frustrated after they asked me over and over again that I just yelled at them.
"Something is inside me! Get it out, get it out, get it out!" I lifted my shirt and was ripping at my stomach. Leaving red nail scratches and cuts. My mom and dad ran to either side of me to grab my arms. Mrs. Kennedy had seen me go pretty crazy, but this was the worst I've ever gotten in front of her. My parents however had seen a similar situation before. Not exactly like this, but they didn't skip a beat on trying to help me.
"Sam. Breath, sweety. Just remember everything is in you for a reason. It's keeping you alive. Nothing is going to hurt you." My mom said softly to me. Trying to calm me down with the words my therapist gave her. "Ice cubes, get him ice cubes!" She said to Mrs. Kennedy as I started to hyperventilate.
Mrs. Kennedy grabbed a ziplock bag and started to fill it with ice cubes. My mom went over to her and grabbed an ice cube right out of the bag, opened up my hand, and put the ice cube in it. This worked in the past to distract me, I knew that's what she was doing, and trust me. I wanted it to work too, but this was different. I kept trying to tell myself that it was just a different feeling I hadn't felt before. That it wasn't possible something was physically inside my body. But I couldn't help it.
Everyone in the room could see that this was getting intense. I think they assumed it was just a mental breakdown and that nothing was physically wrong with my body but I didn't care. I just wanted help.
My parents got me into the car with my mom even sitting in the backseat with me. She kept trying to distract me with conversation but my mind was only on that awful feeling in my stomach.
We pulled up to the ER and my mom guided me in while holding both my wrists. It felt like she was walking me on a leash but I didn't fight it. I knew she was just trying to stop me from scratching my stomach.
We walked in and I spoke to the receptionist. All I said was that I had terrible pain in my stomach. I didn't want to sound too crazy. I just needed a doctor to look at whatever was going on.
After giving the receptionist my name and insurance information we went to sit down. I was sitting in between my parents and I could see my mom lean back to try and mouth something to my dad without me seeing. I didn't think much of it. I was way more worried about other things.
My dad then went up to the receptionist. He pointed over to me and she looked a little concerned. I saw her pick up the clipboard that had my information on it and she started writing something else on it. I asked my dad what he did and he just said to not worry and that he wanted to let her know it was urgent.
No more than 10 minutes went by and I felt a terrible moving sensation. I cringed and grabbed my stomach. Immediately followed by not just the feeling of a hand grabbing my insides but also scratching and pinching. I yelled out in pain as the other people in the waiting room looked at me mortified.
A doctor and a couple of nurses came running over to me and helped me up. But I couldn't stand up. I was in too much pain. They put me in a wheelchair and started to head for a room. However, they didn't take me through the normal big ER doors that went to the standard examination rooms, they took me and my parents through a smaller door to the side that had a padlock on it.
We walked through a white hallway that was very quiet. The doctor and nurses showed us to my room and helped me into my bed as I was wiggling and wincing. I had one parent on either side of me. Patiently waited to stop my arms from scratching.
The doctor was trying to ask further questions but he could tell it wasn't going anywhere. I knew that my dad probably told that receptionist about my OCD tendencies and that I needed to go to the psych ward. Not just to the stranded side of the ER.
I couldn't take it anymore and blurted out that something was inside my stomach and it was trying to get out.
The doctor just looked at my parents for a reaction and they gave him a sad nod. It was like they warned him that this could happen. The doctor didn't just think I was crazy, my parents did too. The doctor took a deep breath and came up to me. I knew I was about to hear some kind of dumb speech about how this was just my OCD and everything was going to be okay.
As he came closer to me, I pulled up my shirt and he gasped. Not only was my stomach scratched up like crazy, but we saw movement. It looked like when a pregnant woman can see her baby kicking. But this was so much stronger. It was stretching my skin.
My parents stood up and gasped while the doctor looked frantic and unprepared.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" The doctor said as he backed out of the room. "Hang on! We are getting this taken care of, just hang tight."
Just seconds later a nurse came in to give me some painkillers. I started to feel the pain slip away, but something so much worse started to creep in. I heard a voice. Not my own. Not some creepy-sounding creature, but the voice of a normal-sounding man that I'd never heard before. But that wasn't the scary part. The scary part was what he was saying to me.
"Get me out. Get me out. Get me out!"
It started in a normal tone, but slowly became more urgent and rushed. Then demanding.
The voice would coincide with the moment inside me.
It was getting so loud that I was having a hard time hearing the people around me. The doctor came in just a few minutes after I last saw him. He was red and sweaty. Like he'd just run a marathon. He told me they needed to do just a few tests on what was inside me before taking action.
I was trying so hard to pay attention to the words coming out of his mouth but all I could hear was the voice. The voice stopped for just a second and changed what he was saying. Now he started repeating,
"Cut me out, cut me out, cut me out, now!" I now knew this thing didn't just want out but it wanted out now. I begged the doctor to just get it out now but he wouldn't listen. The voice spoke up again.
"This is taking too long. Don't be afraid. Get me out yourself."
I think it could feel me resisting. Without realizing it, I was looking around the room for something. It was like I didn't even have control over my head or eyes anymore. I knew the voice was looking for a knife but I was trying to ignore the feeling. I knew there weren't any knives around. I was in a very safe place.
Just as I had the feeling I was safe, it was immediately taken away. The thought passed through my head that my dad probably had a pocket knife on him. My heart sank. I knew this thing could hear my thoughts. I knew what it would try to do.
The next thing I knew, I was on my feet, leaping for my dad. My body hit his. luckily, he's in pretty good shape for his age and had no problems putting me in my place.
He got on top of me and pinned me to the ground. All while I could barely hear my mom in the background. Yelling at my dad to be careful. My dad knew something was going on and that I just needed to be on the ground until I calmed down.
My body tried to flail but it wasn't successful. The whole time the voice in my head, now yelling and screaming. Not saying any distinguishable words, but just having what felt like a tantrum. What made my dad the most uncomfortable was the kicking feeling coming from my stomach.
After a couple of minutes, the voice calmed down and I felt in charge of my body again. My dad slowly got up and attempted to help me up. At this point with an audience of hospital staff that looked like they were getting ready to take me somewhere for more tests.
Just as I stood up straight, I felt the voice take over and I lost all sense of my own body. I felt like a shell of myself. My dad gave me a soft yet worried smile, and in that instance, I grabbed him and reached into his pocket. My heart sank as I felt his pocket knife. The room started to panic and about 5 people tried to grab it from me. The last thing I remember is plunging the knife into my stomach. I felt a blinding pain and everything went black.
Several hours later I started to wake up. Everything was extremely blurry and fuzzy. I could hear a very faint voice telling me to relax. As the minutes passed by, things started to become a little bit clearer. I looked around and saw I was in a large room with a few other patients. A nurse was going up to all the beds and checking in on them. I tried to sit up a bit to get more comfortable and noticed an incredible sourness in my stomach. I moved my hospital gown out of the way and saw a huge scare. About 6" across. Most of the scare looked very surgical. Like what I'd imagine a c-section surgery would look like. Except where I remembered the knife going in. It looked like a bunch of extra stitches had to be added where it went in. It also looked pretty bruised. I can imagine that a dull 10-year-old knife that was harshly shoved into a body really wouldn't cleanly cut through and leave some damage.
The feeling of shock from looking at my stomach was quickly gone when I realized that meant whatever was in me was now gone. I didn't hear the voice, I didn't feel a hand in my gut anymore, I didn't see that vile kicking anymore. I felt like I could breathe.
I asked the nurse what they found and she looked flush.
"Uh, that's something that you, uh. Your doctor will talk with you once you eat something and can speak clearly." She said as she scurried off looking upset.
Shortly after that, I was wheeled into a recovery room and my parents came to see me.
As they walked in they had a very similar look on their faces as the nurse did. They looked pale and didn't want to look me in the eye. I kept asking them questions about what was going on but they said the doctor needed to discuss it with me and he wanted to make sure I wasn't feeling high from the anesthesia while we had a conversation.
The doctor didn't come and see me for another 10 hours. Which felt strange. And to add to the strangeness, my parents were taking shifts hanging out with me. There was only overlap when they switched and the other parent took over while the other one left the room. I would understand if they weren't both with me for the whole time. I'm not that needy, but they were only both in my room together for about an hour. That was the hour before the doctor came to my room.
Finally, the doctor came in to talk to me. When he walked in, the room was cold and quiet. It was evident he didn't feel the same relief I was feeling.
He seemed awkward. Like he was talking way too long to get over to me. He grabbed a chair and scooted it close to me.
"Listen Sam. I know this last 24 hours has been very challenging. I apologize for not explaining what happened during your surgery sooner, but we all needed time to figure it out, and quite frankly, process what happened. We feel we have enough information to let you in on what is going on." A silence filled the room. It felt like no one was brave enough to break it.
"And?" I said with confusion.
"I think it'll be easier if we just show you."
The doctor along with my parents helped me into a wheelchair and we started to make our way across the hospital to an entirely different section. I couldn't believe all the things running through my head at what we were about to see. It felt like cruel and unusual punishment to leave me in anticipation and not just tell me what I was about to see.
When I went around the corner I couldn't process what I was looking at. I thought they were showing me a large tumor or growth of some kind, but why would a tumor be in a big incubation chamber with tubes connected to IVs and machines coming out of it?
As I got closer, I started to see human fetchers on it. It was mostly just a 6-pound lump of flesh, but I could see a hand sticking out of it. It was small, but what made it creepy was it looked like a fully developed man's hand. Just small. I could see a patch of hair coming out of what I assumed was its head. It had no discernible facial features. Just a few teeth scattered in one section.
As I looked at it with disgust, coming to terms with this thing that was just in my body, I had a realization. I wasn't feeling sick at the thought of something being in my body. Sure, I was grossed out that this particular thing was just in me, but the thought of the bacteria in my body didn't make me want to throw up. I thought about all the blood pumping through my veins and I felt… normal. Not only was the voice and kicking gone. But my OCD was gone too. I didn't have a mental illness. It was just this thing. Trying to find its way out for years.
As I was staring at the creature, the doctor came and put his hand on my shoulder.
"We believe this is your twin brother." I immediately looked up at my parents who looked very disturbed and upset. I let the doctor finish talking. "We believe that you absorbed him in the womb and that he has been living inside you your whole life. This is an extremely rare condition called fetus-in-fetu. It seems he didn't quite have the best opportunity to develop normally. That's why he looks the way he does. Despite his appearance, he has all the organs he needs to survive. Looks like he's missing a lung and his gallbladder. Also a piece of his liver but other than that, it looks like he will live for at least a few years. He won't be able to leave this room due to him needing a feeding tube and a few other things that his body can not do on its own. He needs lots of support just to live. What makes this situation extremely unique is that your twin is still alive despite your body not sustaining him anymore. Even though we have him hooked up to a few IVs and machines, It is unexplainable how he is living while outside of your body."
I was in complete shock. I didn't want to believe it. I asked my mom why she never told me I absorbed my twin in the womb, she said she had no clue. There was never a sign when she was pregnant with me.
He also mentioned that sometimes even in pregnancies women will go their whole pregnancy without even getting a belly. It's called a 'Cryptic pregnancy'. I've always had a bit of a gut but never anything big enough to cause suspicion. I guess in my case I had a fetus-fetu and an experience similar to a cryptic pregnancy. Even though it was in my stomach. At least that was the doctor's best guess. Although, it all sounded like BS to me.
The doctor and my parents kept trying to explain more and more details to me. I don't know why they didn't slow down a little bit for my sake. How could they not tell I wasn't processing any of this?
I noticed something while they were trying to explain things to me. They kept calling it a 'He'.
Now listen. I'm not some kind of asshole that won't respect someone who wants to be called a specific pronoun. I've never been that kind of person. But this is where I draw the line.
Not just that. But this thing had a name. My parents named it and said today was its birthday. While they told me all this information, they didn't look happy about it. It seemed like they were forced to do all this nonsense. And now it was my turn to be convinced. I could tell they were trying to force it.
The doctor told me despite it not having a high probability for a long life that we should still try and give it the love it deserves. Of course, the doctor referred to it as a 'He' but I refused to.
This disgusted me. This thing tried to kill me and ruined my quality of life for so long, and now we are going to treat it like it's some kind of prince? No, absolutely not.
Luckily, it seemed like it would never leave the hospital, but my parents planned on going to visit it daily. Visiting it? Are you kidding me? it has no eyes, no ears, it's probably miserable and has no concept of people even being around it.
I'm refusing to ever see this thing again or acknowledge its existence again.
I could get in trouble for even talking about this. The hospital or anyone involved has signed NDAs to not share any information about this until it officially dies. This is because it's a medical anomaly and the first of its kind. They want to do the proper research on how this all occurred before coming out with a statement. I just have to get this all off my chest. I feel like I'm the crazy one here when I know I'm not. I don't care if I get in trouble.
I am scared that the doctors are trying to force my parents into giving this thing a proper life. I think that's why it took them so long to tell me. I think they scared my parents into keeping it alive and guilting them or even forcing them into being its parent.
I'm all for every life being important and all that stuff, but I have a feeling my parents are terrified of this thing just like I am.
I am convinced they gaslit my parents into believing this thing is my brother. If there wasn't any sign of him while my mom was pregnant with me, could this thing be something else?
This all happened about two years ago. It's still alive and they are still researching it. My parents continue to visit it despite everything. My therapist told me that I'm probably just struggling with jealousy now that I'm not an only child anymore and so much of my parents' attention is on him now, but it's so much bigger than just jealousy.
Since this thing showed up and my OCD is pretty much gone, I've hardly seen my parents. I know I'm not just jealous. There is something more to this. I know it.
Something just feels so off about this whole thing. What is this thing? Where did it come from? And what does it want?

Hello everyone,
I have a 12 year old son who has been diagnosed with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, although he has not been diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). However, based on his behaviors, we strongly suspect that he may also be struggling with ODD. His behavior has escalated to the point where we often feel unsafe being around him. There are times when me, my wife and my other son have to confine ourselves our room, as being in his presence can quickly lead to an out-of-control situation. This is not just for our safety but also to prevent further escalation of conflicts and violent outbursts. It’s a measure I have to take to protect myself and maintain some level of peace in our household. During episodes of anger, he resorts to throwing food and deliberately spitting on us and our belongings, showing a lack of regard for personal boundaries and respect. What’s particularly distressing is that these outbursts can occur seemingly out of nowhere. For example, he can throw food or spit without any provocation or conversation happening at that moment. This unpredictability makes it difficult for us to anticipate or prevent these incidents. It seems like he is angry the entire day, with very few moments of reaching out for affection or giving affection. Most of the day, he yells, spits, and expresses the most horrible wishes towards us. These outbursts reveal a deeper struggle he faces in managing his emotions and reactions. They can be triggered by minor disagreements or frustrations, making everyday interactions incredibly tense and unpredictable. These episodes have also escalated to physical attacks, not just towards objects but also towards us, leaving us feeling unsafe and constantly on edge. One of the most distressing aspects is his tendency to run away or escape when faced with situations he doesn’t want to deal with, such as going to school or attending therapy sessions. This has led to dangerous situations where he has run into the street, putting himself at risk. Even when we close the fence, he will just climb over it to escape. Even in our own backyard, when we try to get him into the car for school or any other activity, he turns it into a game of chase. He runs away from us, treating it like a playful pursuit, and eventually manages to escape onto the street. This behavior not only poses risks to his safety but also creates significant stress and challenges for our family. His defiance and avoidance behaviors persist in various settings, including public places, where he can act out aggressively or provocatively, such as knocking on doors at a nursing home or shouting at strangers on the street. These actions not only disrupt our family life but also create challenges for his schooling and social interactions. We have been actively seeking help for him, including regular visits to psychologist, psychiatrist and doctors. He is on medication and the past few days the medication seems to work a bit, but it’s to early to judge. We always try to be understanding, and we rarely punish him, because punishing him, like taking away his iPad, makes it much worse. We would greatly appreciate any advice or insights from others who may have experience dealing with similar situations.
Thank you in advance.

Comprehensive Framework for Analyzing Social Hierarchies and Behaviors to Predict and Prevent High School Shootings

This framework aims to analyze social dynamics in educational settings to provide tools for predicting and preventing high school shootings. By understanding the roles of alpha, beta, gamma, and omega personalities within social hierarchies, and incorporating transactional analysis and the impact of early childhood trauma, we can identify at-risk individuals and implement interventions at the group level.

Social Hierarchy Types

1. Alpha: Dominant individuals who typically lead and hold the highest social power. They decide what to train, influencing the behaviors and values of others.
2. Beta: Supportive individuals who are influential but subordinate to alphas. They may enforce the alpha's decisions, enabling both positive and negative group behaviors.
3. Gamma: Average members who follow social norms without seeking dominance or leadership. They often allow bad group behavior by conforming and not intervening.
4. Omega: Individuals who are marginalized or scapegoated within the group. High frequency of negative outcomes, such as suicide, can occur if they fall to this status from higher positions.

Key Variables

1. Dominance Behaviors: Actions and language used to assert authority.
2. Status Degradation Behaviors: Actions and language aimed at lowering another’s social status for self-preservation or social climbing.
3. Social Hierarchy Position: Classification as alpha, beta, gamma, or omega based on observed behaviors and group dynamics.
4. Dynamic Status Changes: Shifts in an individual’s social hierarchy position over time.
5. Transactional Analysis States: Parent, Adult, and Child modes as described in transactional analysis.
6. Early Childhood Trauma: Identification of individuals who have experienced significant trauma and its impact on their social hierarchy position and behaviors.

Transactional Analysis Framework

1. Parent Mode: Behaviors and language mimicking authoritative or nurturing figures.
2. Adult Mode: Rational and objective communication, focusing on facts and logic.
3. Child Mode: Behaviors and language that are playful, dependent, or rebellious.

Data Collection and Measurement

Linguistic and Behavioral Analysis

• Dominance Indicators: Authoritative language, directives, commanding nonverbal cues.
• Status Degradation Indicators: Derogatory language, insults, dismissive comments.
• Hierarchy Position Indicators: Language and behavior patterns associated with alpha, beta, gamma, and omega types.
• Transactional Analysis Indicators:
  • Parent Mode: Use of authoritative or nurturing language.
  • Adult Mode: Use of rational, objective language.
  • Child Mode: Use of playful, dependent, or rebellious language.
• Trauma Indicators: Analysis of behaviors indicative of trauma, such as hypervigilance, submissiveness, and codependency.

Behavioral Cues

• Alpha: Commanding tone, confident posture, leading interactions.
• Beta: Supportive language, cooperative behaviors, alignment with alphas.
• Gamma: Neutral language, conformity to group norms, non-confrontational behavior.
• Omega: Submissive language, frequent victim of status degradation, isolated behaviors. High likelihood of being scapegoated, especially if trauma is present.
• Trauma-Affected Individuals: Analysis of behaviors such as hypervigilance, submissiveness, and codependency, and their correlation with omega status.

Contextual Factors

• Group Dynamics: Observations of interactions and roles within the group.
• Situational Triggers: Events or circumstances causing shifts in hierarchy positions.
• Trauma Impact: Contextual analysis of how early childhood trauma influences group dynamics and individual behaviors.

Data Collection Methods

Surveys and Self-Reports

• Hierarchy Position Self-Identification: Individuals identify their perceived position within the hierarchy.
• Experiences of Dominance and Degradation: Self-reported experiences of being dominated or degraded.
• Transactional State Self-Reports: Individuals report their perceived mode (Parent, Adult, Child) during interactions.
• Trauma History: Self-reporting of significant early childhood trauma and its perceived impact on social interactions.

Recorded Interactions

• Linguistic Analysis: Analyze recorded conversations for language patterns.
• Behavioral Observations: Video recordings of group interactions to identify nonverbal cues and behaviors.

Mobile App Development

• Real-Time Analysis: An app that uses NLP and machine learning to analyze speech and provide feedback on hierarchy position indicators, transactional states, and trauma-related behaviors.

Analytical Framework

Descriptive Statistics

• Frequency of Dominance and Degradation Behaviors: Summary statistics on how often these behaviors occur across different hierarchy positions.
• Hierarchy Position Distribution: Distribution of individuals in alpha, beta, gamma, and omega positions.
• Transactional State Distribution: Distribution of interactions by Parent, Adult, and Child modes.
• Trauma Impact: Distribution of hierarchy positions and behaviors among trauma-affected versus non-trauma-affected individuals.

Correlation Analysis

• Correlation Between Behaviors and Hierarchy Positions: Analysis of how dominance and status degradation behaviors correlate with being an alpha, beta, gamma, or omega.
• Impact on Group Dynamics: Correlation between these behaviors and overall group cohesion and productivity.
• Transactional State Correlation: Analysis of the prevalence of Parent, Adult, and Child modes in different hierarchy positions.
• Trauma Correlation: Analysis of how early childhood trauma correlates with social hierarchy position, dominance behaviors, and transactional states.

Regression Analysis

• Predictive Models: Regression models predicting hierarchy position based on observed behaviors, linguistic patterns, and trauma history.
• Impact of Contextual Factors: Analysis of how different situational triggers impact shifts in hierarchy positions.
• Transactional State Impact: Analysis of how different transactional states influence social interactions and hierarchy dynamics.
• Trauma Impact: Regression analysis to predict long-term social and academic outcomes based on trauma history.

Network Analysis

• Social Network Mapping: Mapping social interactions to visualize hierarchy positions and influence patterns.
• Centrality Measures: Identifying key individuals (alphas) and their influence on group dynamics.

Hypotheses and Analysis

1. H1: Individuals exhibiting frequent dominance behaviors are more likely to be classified as alphas.
2. H2: Status degradation behaviors are more common among individuals attempting to transition to a higher hierarchy position (beta to alpha) or protect their current position.
3. H3: Omegas experience the highest frequency of status degradation behaviors and the lowest social power.
4. H4: Dynamic shifts in hierarchy positions are triggered by specific situational factors and changes in group composition.
5. H5: Beta and gamma personalities are guilty of enabling bad group behavior by either supporting or failing to challenge negative actions within the group.
6. H6: Parent mode is more frequently exhibited by alphas and betas during dominance interactions, while Child mode is more common in omegas and during status degradation interactions.
7. H7: Adult mode interactions are associated with higher group cohesion and productivity.
8. H8: Trauma-affected individuals are more likely to be marginalized and pushed to omega status, exhibiting higher frequencies of submissive and codependent behaviors.
9. H9: In high-stress environments (e.g., school under intense social pressure), non-violent attempts to assert dominance by individuals with previously higher social status result in their rapid demotion to omega status, often leading to high-risk outcomes like violence.

Example Data Points and Metrics

Linguistic and Behavioral Indicators

• Alpha: Frequency of leading language, commands, and confident nonverbal cues.
• Beta: Frequency of supportive language, cooperative behaviors.
• Gamma: Frequency of neutral language, conforming behaviors.
• Omega: Frequency of submissive language, victim behaviors. High likelihood of being scapegoated, especially if trauma is present.
• Transactional States: Frequency of language indicating Parent, Adult, or Child modes.
• Trauma Indicators: Analysis of behaviors indicative of trauma, such as hypervigilance, submissiveness, and codependency.

Social Hierarchy Position

• Self-Identification Surveys: Individuals’ self-perception of their position.
• Observer Reports: External observations and classifications based on behavior.
• Trauma History: Identification of trauma-affected individuals and analysis of their hierarchy position.

Group Dynamics

• Interaction Frequency: Number of interactions initiated by each hierarchy type.
• Support and Resistance: Levels of support or resistance encountered by each hierarchy type.
• Trauma Impact: Analysis of interaction frequency and dynamics between trauma-affected and non-trauma-affected individuals.

Dynamic Status Changes

• Event Logs: Record of situational triggers and resulting shifts in hierarchy positions.
• Longitudinal Data: Tracking individuals over time to observe changes in their hierarchy position.
• Trauma Impact: Longitudinal analysis of trauma-affected individuals to assess long-term social and academic outcomes.

Tools and Technologies

1. Natural Language Processing (NLP): For real-time analysis of spoken and written language to identify hierarchy position indicators, transactional states, and trauma-related behaviors.
2. Machine Learning: To develop predictive models for hierarchy positions, behavior patterns, and the impact of trauma.
3. Network Analysis Tools: To map social interactions and visualize hierarchy dynamics.

Experimental and Longitudinal Studies

1. Controlled Experiments: Manipulate social scenarios to observe changes in hierarchy positions and behaviors, particularly focusing on the impact of trauma.
2. Longitudinal Studies: Track individuals over time to observe the long

-term effects of early childhood trauma on social hierarchy positions, behaviors, and outcomes.

Goal: Predicting and Preventing High School Shootings

This comprehensive framework provides the necessary tools to analyze, predict, and intervene in group dynamics to prevent high school shootings. By understanding and monitoring social hierarchies, transactional states, and the impact of early childhood trauma, educators and mental health professionals can identify at-risk individuals and implement timely interventions to foster a safer and more supportive school environment.

“34. What is the CLASSIFICATION for the following scenario? A broker calls and asks for assistance classifying a clear plastic bag made for transporting food items from a store. The bag is made of polyethylene, it is not insulated and does not have handles. It measures 6 inches (152.4 mm) in length and 6 inches in width. The bag also has a re-closable top seal with a slider that allows the bag to open and close.
A. 3923.21.0011
B. 3923.21.0020
C. 4202.92.0809
D. 4819.40.0040
E. 6305.33.0080”
This should be easy to narrow down quicky. 4202 doesn’t include disposable bags made wholly of plastics. 4819 is for paper bags. 6305 is for textile bags. That leaves us with 3923. Let’s look at our two options there:
3923.21.0011 - Reclosable, with integral extruded closure: With no single side exceeding 75 mm in length
3923.21.0020 - Reclosable, with integral extruded closure: Other, with sliders that open or close the seal
It might be a good idea to bring a conversion chart with you when testing with conversions from metric the standard and back. We know this bag is 152.4 mm so it doesn’t meet the size requirements for 3923.21.0011. it must be classified under 3923.21.0020. The answer is B.

I (28F) decided to speak up for myself in regards to an ongoing situation that came into the light after 6 months.
I was a nanny for this person for a little shy of 3 years. I took care of her children who were at the time 3 years old and 10 months old. One child was extremely expressive in terms of his anger. This became an everyday conversation with said parent. Many words were spoken and the child often hit, threw objects at, and punched me as well as his sister. I would remediate the problem to the best of my ability by putting him in time out, taking away screen time, or favorite toys (which was not working). Sadly this didn’t work because as soon as I would establish such boundaries and consequences the mom would come home and disregard anything I attempted to do to remediate the problem. I began expressing these concerns to his mom who said “he just misses me because I’m at work” and would not discuss the problem furthermore with a pediatrician or provider.
The younger child has developmental delays. The mom blamed this on her PPD. She does not pay attention with her children, often goes out to party on weekends, takes mini vacations without the kids, and would leave the children with either her in laws or myself.
The children continued said behavior but I stayed. I stayed so the kids had someone who they could come to when they needed help. The mom often came home late due to going out, cheating on her husband, etc.
The behavior worsened. I expressed concern as the child was smearing on the walls. The kids dad would not know as he would hide the smearing and I would find out when I came to work everyday. When I explained this to the parent she said this was normal behavior. She put a lock on the child’s door so they would not disturb their sleep. I cannot judge this but she didn’t want her children being near or around her so she could sleep. The child would excessively try to hurt his younger sibling in terms of putting his hands around her throat and holding it tight. When I explained this I was told “I couldn’t handle a four year old and I was overstimulated”.
She had a falling out with her family. She decided to no longer talk to her in laws or her own family. I was the only person who would take care of her children when asked. I was instructed to not reach out to her family members for any reason. I could only contact her and her now ex husband.
A few months later, she invited me to join her at her gym. I needed a new one to go to so I tried it out. I love the community and have been an avid member for now 6 months. I made a few new friends and secure relationships with them. Thinking I could trust her, I told her about a crush I had on a guy at the gym. She got thoroughly involved with his social circle. When I said why she said she was doing this to protect me. I said I don’t need protection and I can judge people’s character well. She decided to involve herself anyway. She became friends with an ex of his in attempt to find out info. She also yelled at her and called her childish for ghosting him.
I am friends with both this man and his ex. Both are decent people and I do not observe any red flags with either one.
It came out that she was telling other people I was autistic. There was a long history of her telling people both inside and outside of the gym. She also told people I was a genius with a high IQ and could not work which is why I was her nanny. She also told people I have schizophrenia which is also not true.
When I told her about such things, she said she never intended to hurt me but this was to protect me. She said she did this to defend me because she felt the need to. I never asked or implied for her to do so. I told her I felt misunderstood, hurt and confused.
She told me I ruined this friendship because I didn’t communicate. However I couldn’t communicate because I didn’t know. She blamed me for loosing her support system and blocked me from everything.
She is going through a divorce and told me extremely intimate details about this as well. I asked her to please refrain from this as I could not provide the advice she needed and I was becoming overwhelmed. She was a nurse and sleeping with relatives of her patients. She went back and forth about divorcing her husband, almost re proposed to him then did not and got divorce papers, she met someone on a solo trip and decided she liked this man she met better, told me she wants “freedom from her children and responsibilities”, accused several people about gossiping, told people they were bullies for ending a friendship.
She now denies all of this but somehow I am the blame. She told me she welcomed me into her second home (the gym) as well as her home and she had to leave the gym because she felt uncomfortable after protecting me.
After a lengthy discussion with my therapist yesterday, she is lead to believe that this woman at least demonstrates BPD traits as she cannot diagnose her. I also suspect she may have dissociative identity disorder.
I officially went no contact with this person as of yesterday. I am feeling good as of today and giving myself the grace to feel what may come up while still focusing on what I need to do and where I am happiest (secure relationships, support system, hobbies, proper nutrition).

I am a founder that has experienced most of the good, the ugly and the bad of raising capital for my startup from private investors and Venture Capitals. I have experienced co-founder break-ups, key employees leaving, secondary rounds, successful funding rounds, bridge rounds, flat metrics, growth metrics, massive partnerships with FAANG companies, hundreds of investors rejections and so on.
I've decided to post interesting tips and content that can be useful for founders that are right now fundraising to help them avoid certain mistakes or take some weight off of their shoulders.
This one is about investors telling you "You're too early", something that you've probably experienced if you are fundraising for your startup.
Having gone through 100+ pitch meetings, I can tell you that they will NEVER say the real reasons. When they throw a random metric, an expected traction, or whatever feedback, take it with a very fine grain of salt.
The true reasons normally are these:

1. They're Afraid to Say No: Investors want to keep their options open.
2. No Sense of Urgency: They think, "Why invest now? I can wait 6 months and see if the founder solves X."
3. Lack of Understanding/Belief: They don’t get what you’re doing but don't want to miss out if a big name like Sequoia/a16z decides to land a Term Sheet.

So, when you're fundraising, instead of focusing on changing your roadmap and do what they tell you, focus more on why the above didn't work out. All of them can be summarized to FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). So, what can you do to generate FOMO among investors?

1. Be extremely optimistic about the fundraise. Investors don’t want to feel they are “helping” with their money, charities fill that gap better. They want to feel that they are going to have an extreme return. They want to feel they are betting on the 1% companies. They have to feel a sense of urgency.
2. Casually throw details about the progress of the fundraise with confidence. Don’t worry, those small details will become stronger facts as you make progress in conversations, and your confidence will grow and their sense of urgency too.
3. Obsess with the tough questions. Everyone is good at the easy ones. Construct short, simple and objective arguments for each tough question. As Pascal said, “if I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter”. Deliver the message through.
4. Be passionate and straightforward about what you want to build. Don't try to sound as something you think you should, or something you’ve seen around. VCs are tired of fabricated pitches, they speak with 10 different founders a day, all of them feeling they are the most special founder that will become the next Elon Musk. Don't let the air in the room eat you and act nervous. Be authentic and special.

These things may seem irrelevant, but investors are not rational animals. What pushes them to dive into a company and invest in it, is not the data. It's the feeling of closing a deal that potentially will return their entire fund several times. Those things happen once every 100 companies and there's no empirical analysis in the world that can give you such insight.
Therefore, the story you build around you and your company can have a greater weight in your investor interactions than having a good CAC.

I work in L&D. I’ve only been at this hospital for 4 months.
I have a supervisor who plays favorites, let’s some people get away with things and chews others out for the same things.
There’s one coworker of mine she especially favors. Sadly, I always work the same schedule as her. This coworker is very rude and has had at least 2 other coworkers complain about her that I’m aware of. My supervisor doesn’t care and has publicly discussed the complaints made against her and has basically reassured said coworker that she knows the complaints are BS and supervisor is on her side; this conversation was had very publicly.
This coworker is pregnant. Last night, I had 3 patients while my coworker only had one repeat section who was gone in 2 hours. The rest of the shift, she did nothing.
We got a new patient in and she and I were the only ones who didn’t have patients by this point. I was given the patient because the patient has syphilis and supervisor said my coworker can’t do it because of her pregnancy.
We sign agreements to be exposed to bloodborne pathogens. Never heard of pregnancy getting you out of caring for a syphilis patient. I called employee health and they said syphilis doesn’t excuse you from patient care during pregnancy. (Duh.)
I know this is favoritism but is this discrimination?
A pregnant resident and pregnant NICU nurse were both involved in this patient’s care.

I started getting what seemed to be random numbers when summarizing my Conversion/Key event data into such things as:

• Sessions
• Session conversion rate
• Conversions

When I created calculated metrics of conversions / sessions I got a higher number than when I looked at the session conversion rate.Traditionally (UA), conversions have been counted as the number of sessions with conversions.
In GA4 however, the default value is to count number of conversions regarless of sessions.
This means that the number of conversions might increase significantly in GA4 without adding more events as conversions.
Equally, the sessions conversion rate / session key event rate might be significantly lower than if you divide conversions / sessions.Ie. you can have a report where you have 100 sessions and 5 conversions. But when you look at your session conversion rate it states 1%. This means you've had ONE session with 5 conversions. Yet you've had 5 converting events over 100 sessions.
NOW to the problem.
When migrating to GA4 from UA, all of the events are measured according to the old standard. Ie. counting sessions with 1 < i conversions as 1 conversion.
For new key events you setup in GA4 however, they count the number of events regarless if they belong to one or several sessions.
I only noticed this problem now when doing an audit for a new client. Perhaps you already know about this, but I thought it might be useful to know if you are seeing the same thing.
Solution
You can set the counting method from the key events under your settings tab in GA4. New method 2 is better for UX whilst old method aligns better with ecommerce, performance and with Google Ads.

Why Is Travel Agency CRM Important in The Travel Industry?

To run sales and stay competitive, businesses in the travel industry must meet and manage their customers' needs across the entire inquiry, booking and follow-up journey. Because a travel agency CRM lets you focus on traveler profiles and expectations more accurately, it helps you deliver an exceptional user experience that's more likely to bring in repeat bookings.

Customer Information: Travel agents deal with various customers, each with unique preferences and travel histories. A CRM system helps agents keep track of all this profitable data.

They can record details such as travel dates, destinations, preferred airlines, and hotel choices. This enables agents to provide an extremely personalized service, recommending suitable options and making the booking process smoother for customers.

Organization and Efficiency: Travel agents juggle a multitude of tasks, from booking flights and hotels to arranging tours and transfers. A travel CRM solution acts as a digital assistant, helping agents stay organized. It can handle bookings, set reminders for essential tasks, and even automate routine processes. This efficiency means agents can serve more customers beneficially without compromising on service quality.

Communication: Good communication is the backbone of the travel industry. A CRM system helps travel agents keep customers informed. It can send automatic email confirmations, flight updates, and travel tips. This not only ensures that customers have all the essential information but also reassures them, building trust and enhancing their travel experience.

Customer Loyalty: Establishing long-term relationships with customers is crucial. Best Travel CRM helps agents create and manage loyalty programs. It can track user points, offer rewards, and send personalized discounts or special offers. This inspires customers to return for future bookings and refer friends and family, which is vital for a travel agent's success.

Competitive Edge: In today's digital age, travelers have access to a huge amount of information online. To compete effectively, travel agents must come up with added value and exceptional service.

Improved Customer Retention: Retaining customers is vital to your business. Using a CRM allows you to better track your customers and instantly address their questions and concerns.

Centralized Database of Information: A CRM creates a centralized database of your customers' data, so anyone who may need it can access it. Travel agents can then see what types of trips customers may be interested in based on their past interactions with your company. As a result, your customers will have a more positive experience, and your employees will save time.

Increased Sales: By using a CRM program, you can design a particular sales plan, automate key parts of your sales process, and help you analyze the data being collected about your sales. All of this can help you improve both your sales and productivity. Furthermore, you can create a process for your employees that is easy to follow and can be effortlessly adjusted when necessary.

Higher Productivity: CRM systems use automation technology, which speeds up non-priority work. It also authorizes employees to focus on work that cannot be automated, such as creating content. This automation also ensures that no work is missed, and it even helps you enhance your workflow.

Better Customer Service: CRMs store information such as demographics, purchase history, and past communications in a single location. Storing all necessary data in a single place makes it easy for anyone in your company to find it. Observing customer information becomes much easier with all of your data in a single location.

Personalized Traveler Experience: Every person who travels is different, with their own preferences and interests. Some people prefer to go to the beach, while others stick to the mountains. Some people want to visit a big city, while others would rather go to a secluded cabin in the wilderness. With travelers who are so diverse, the way you interact with them should be as well. You can better understand the preferences of your audience with a CRM. You and your travel agents better tailor the experience you are offering them.
