...See more It’s been four years since I should’ve gotten a job the first year I missed cause I started a masters another one than the second year i was burned out by the school and lost confidence than the third year I started taking endless public exams and interviews but they take forever to respond sometimes you reach final round just to not make it It kept jarring until 2026 when I kept trying but nothing works especially due to lack of offers on the market than late 2026 iam thinking of going to a different country but it’s hard to get visa imagine 4 years of wasted potential I was a good student I worked so hard in school was it my fault that I got burned out so early I recently started working part time in this teaching online situation it gives me something to look forward to but when I look at the time I wasted the money I could’ve made the opportunities I lost I just don’t know how to feel iam 26 now because of this job situation I avoided making friendships or dating because it’s embarrassing for me and most people will just think ur lazy when I have tried every trick on the book but it doesn’t help if you have anxiety or low confidence Recently I started dating someone online totally didn’t expect it to develop into anything he wants to help me move abroad but even that we have to wait until end of the year Just woke up to these thoughts

...See more Me and my boyfriend met online and we have been dating for three months it’s been great so far we met in person once ,we are compatible in different ways we have similar values and sexually it’s good but I didn’t have enough experience to speak on compatibility and iam scared I might be missing out on what’s out there to be fair it’s not easy to find a partner with the compatibility we have but physically he is not my type if he would’ve approached me in person I doubt I would’ve liked him he is very charming once you talk he is just not my type not someone I would be proudly showing him off to others Jin terms of money he was paying the most when we were together and he keeps telling me that he bought properties for his family members and worked so hard but now he is on a break to focus on his mental health and he keep dreaming with me about future between us like he wants to buy a house and all that but Than he equally lives In a rented one person studio I think what triggered this fir me is I used social media and saw a couple both are pretty and successful and everyone was happy for them suddenly I felt like am I missing out should I also look for someone who is pretty and rich Iiam struggling to get a good job I didn’t date during university I keep thinking maybe once I’ll get a nice job I’ll meet different people and be in a different place to decide but now I feel like he is the only option I have

...See more What does it mean when your boyfriend out of blue removes his WhatsApp picture and stops responding no internet Should I be concerned For context we have been together on online distance relation for three months and he is always online we talk all day long so suddenly he read my last text which was him trying to say something flirty but I didn’t understand He said “ did you do your kegels” I was too tired to go look it up later I realised what he meant but I always feel behind with his flirting ways and now he disappeared And today I told him iam going to a Chinese restaurant for the first time to try food that he recommended to me he even suggested for me to go and he would pay by sending money But he never sent it and this evening he just kinda disappeared now iam stuck in Chinese restaurant alone don’t know how to eat this food

...See more am I the only one who grew up with unaffectionate parents my parents are responsible and not aggressive although my dad beat me when I was young to discipline me I don’t blame him a lot back in the days that’s all they knew and he stopped when I became a teenager But regardless my parents have always been in bad mood I don’t remember them enjoying life ever Our entire life has been just my mom nagging us to do this and don’t do that That stuff continued to this day and iam 26 In my culture we continue to live with parents as we grow cause we don’t like to abandon them as they grow older and need more attention But I feel like everyday I spend here I get angry I’ve been angry because that’s the only emotion that feels familiar at home and sadness but if you act happy or show different opinions than u won’t hear the end of it As I grew I obviously feel their love through their responsible support for me but it doesn’t fix my chronic bad mood there was a time where when I would go out people are happy and iam just stunned when I see families being happy and affectionate But my parents aren’t they even made me hate my cat I’ve wanted one my entire life and got one last two years or so but it’s like I gave them a reason to hate again to put their angry on my cat again they do take care of it bc it lives with us but still they nag a lot especially my mom I don’t know what being happy is
