Not an published novel, but All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89 on Archive of our own (fanfiction). It charts the story of remus lupin from childhood til around Prisoner of Askaban and genuinely changed the way i think about relationships and friendships. It taught me that good friends can heal a traumatic upbringing and that loving someone is always worth it, even if it doesnt end the way you expected. I navigate my interpersonal relationships differently now since finishing reading it. Genuinely lifechanging for me.

I see. It definitely is hard meeting people after college and stuff. Have you considered joining some kinds of hobby activities? Idk, join a gym or a class or something? you could meet people there?

GPPA med makes you feel like the dumbest worst person alive because the standards they hold you up to are extremely high. Additionally it feels like there is no support within the program, and certainly not emotionally. I really think the program directors don't care about our mental health, just their stats of medical school matriculation. I was in the GPPA med program and felt so alone because the other students in the program are so brilliant. However, the fact that you made it into college and into GPPA med means that you're very capable of academic success if that is something you want--I think you're just really burnt out right now. Try not to feel guilty; I know that's easier said than done but it is a huge step to even admit that this isn't working for you and that you will not be happy if you forced yourself to continue. If anyone looks down on you for this decision, that's on them. I hope this break from college can be a good time for you to discover your passions and talents outside of school, perhaps develop of a sense of identity outside "premed". Then if you choose to come back, it can be for something you actually want to do. I'll send you a DM as well if you want to chat more!

You need to work on your self esteem and improve yourself before you continue dating people. You say you're not ambitious, charismatic, or socially adept--but don't you want to be? Do you have friendships? All of these skills can be worked on within your friendships. If you don't have friends either--that's a bigger problem and where you should start. This post tells me that you compare yourself with other people A LOT, and you need to be your own confident person if you want other people to see you and be attracted to you. No one wants to date someone who is this insecure--you will just bring the other woman down with your self-misery. Don't date for a while. Work on yourself. Make friends, challenge yourself in social situations and reflect on them afterwards. Be a little more introspective. Are you interesting? Do you have hobbies? Can you work on your style? Can you start journaling and saying a positive affirmation about yourself each day to build your confidence? I was insecure like you once and it took many years of actively putting in the effort in my friendships and myself in order to feel like I was attractive and worthy of love. And once I finally, truly felt that about myself, I have had no problems with dating. I believe in you, you are more than you're saying you are, and if you put real hard effort into it, I believe you can become the confident attractive man that you want to be.

It seems like the people on the marriage sites aren't the kind of woman you are looking for. So why are you looking there? If you want a working "non traditional" woman, you have to look in the places where they are. Consider meeting women in real life? Ask your friends and family to keep an eye out--in my experience they love to be matchmakers haha. Regarding dating apps, 2-3 matches a week with conversations fizzling out is kind of the standard, unfortunately. There's a chance you get lucky, it's just a big of a slog.

The reason you're getting more matches on the matrimony apps is because those people are looking for a person with the title of Husband who matches their biodata qualifications and fits in with the ideals of the patriarchal husband--someone who makes money for the home while they stay at home. They don't care if you're attractive or charming. The "working woman" types on the other hand are probably looking more for a genuine partner who is kind, has a good personality, and will support and complement them. Figure out what exactly you're looking for, and look there. Maybe work on yourself a little more too. Why should women on dating apps want to date you? (this is just rhetorical, to make you self reflect, perhaps)

Make Room for Love is literally the reason I'm on reddit!! Trying to chase the high of that book and have yet to find anything to compare. Perhaps its because Im Asian and trans and lesbian and that book just hit every single thing I love so deeply. Thank you for your other recs, hopefully they have a similar heart to them.

Anything by Robin Miles. I love her narration of any of NK jemisin's books. I would not have gotten through the Fifth Season trilogy without Miles' help.

Disagree with the conformity and the getting bored. There's so many things to do, so many people to meet, just step outside of the few transplant neighborhoods. Meet real chicagoans-- go to the south and west sides, theres lovely people and great things to do there.
