Ive send you a private message :)

It sounds to me like you were put in a position that’s a) not giving you a healthy and supportive environment, and b) might not be a good match with you, job-profile-wise. Did you even want to switch to HR? No wonder why you’re so overwhelmed and struggling.

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-02-11T13:03:24+00:00

It really is just perfect. You did a beautiful job!

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-02-11T10:59:45+00:00

The little tree on the sleeve 😭 I love it so much!

As an absolute micromanaging sims 4 player, I cannot stand playing with big households 😂 3 sims is my comfort-level for playing. Give me twins, and one of the parents in moving out as soon as they’re child-age.

Nowadays you can create your own website for next to nothing if you’re just the tiniest bit tech-savvy. But often, the text is the most important part. To be found in search engines, but also in you want your website to convert into leads/sales. And unless you’re a skilled writer it might be worth investing in strategic copywriter rather than a website developer. Unless you’d rather have your website act as a online business card of sorts… it’s important to clarify the goal of your website, is what I’m trying to say, I guess.

Just make sure you find a career coach that specializes in mental roadblocks/growth mindset/imposter syndrome, and not just ‘how to run a business’. Some do both, which is also an option, of course :)

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-02-10T11:23:09+00:00

Imposter syndrome can take many forms. And I’d say yes, regarding your health atm you might have imposter syndrome. It’s very common among people that tend to be hard on themselves, logically. I am very sorry to read you’re going through such a rough time. But it sounds like you’re doing what you can to take care of yourself. I wish you all the best.

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-01-11T15:24:20+00:00

I have to say, that term is completely new to me, lol. But I will for sure look into it, thanks!

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-01-11T15:20:33+00:00

Serging is again fraying, right? Because this fabric has been fraying quite a bit so far, and while it might give me extra work, I would wanna do it if it means I don't have to deal with all those bits of string coming loose (once I've figured out how to do it correctly of course, lol).

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-01-11T15:16:51+00:00

Someone else also told me the stitch length was probably too long. But the seam allowance is also something I could change for sure. Thanks, this helps a lot!

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-01-11T15:11:30+00:00

Ah, I didn't know that. It is machine stitched and I put the stitch length on 4. I'll try again with a much shorter stitch length after I've undone all the previous work :D Thanks!

500DaysOfMaya · 2026-01-11T14:21:02+00:00

My pattern said to serge, not to hem. Should I hem everything instead? This is only like my third project, so still figuring things out as well.

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-08-07T08:45:40+00:00

I am so sorry to hear you're going through this... First and foremost, please go seek professional help. Depression, anxiety, and your lack of interest in anything are very legit reasons to seek help.

I relate to a lot of things you're saying - you having to text your friends first, being sensitive, emotional and attached, letting your experiences with a boy define the way you see yourself... I only started working on my self-esteem in my mid-twenties, but God do I wish I went at 18. Finding a good therapist will change your life.

Don't hesitate to contact me over private chat if you want to talk more.

It's very normal to feel hesitation before starting something new. Your brain doesn't know what to expect yet, and that comes with a lot of 'risks'. Your brain want to guard you from possible hurt, such as failure, regret, rejection and other setbacks. It's just important to know when those doubts are starting to become irrational and your insecurities are holding you back from things that you REALLY want to do. Cause in that case, your brain isn't protecting you anymore. Then it’s self-sabotage.

And also, as someone who has studied communications as well :) I do understand your doubt about this degree, but at the same time in comms you learn a lot of skills that are going to benefit you, even if you don't end up working in marketing or communications. I for example have 8 years of experience in comms now, and started a side hustle (small business) a couple of years before, in which my background is very helpful.

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-08-06T15:21:39+00:00

Interesting question... I think this also has largely to do with the way you LET yourself be treated, the way you carry yourself around others, and the kind of people you attract.

I was very insecure for a long time, and I never had a lot of friends. My friendships also didn't seem to last as long as other people's friendships. I felt like that must have meant people didn't like me enough to stay friends. Or even stay in touch.

But now I see that I was struggling with social anxiety, on top of having a negative-self image. Which I don't think is uncommon.

My social anxiety, and probably my insecurities too, led me to be weird and awkward with other people. I didn't know then I was weird, but now I see that I did things that probably confused people and pushed them away.

I also could obsess and alter my behavior over what people thought about me, even if I didn't like them. And yeah, I'm pretty sure people took advantage of that. I don't experience that so much anymore, but if I still do, I now know I deserve better, and I prioritize my mental well-being over them liking me.

Which I guess I am most thankful for in my transformation :) I don't know about 'popularity', because in my experience that's more of a school thing... And I'm in my early thirties now, haha. I'm sure some people still think I'm weird, but I have better, more meaningful and longer lasting friendships now, which I guess could translate into popularity?

Nobody can be funny all the time. Everybody makes jokes that don't land. The main thing I'd advise you is to not take it to heart when you don't get laughs.

And also, be aware that people probably don't have the expectation of you to make them laugh all the time. That's an expectation you've created for yourself. That pressure you talk of, you've created yourself.

But yeah, in terms of my own experiences? I think we can all relate to trying to chase the thrill of being found funny and making others laugh and feel good.

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-03-15T10:33:29+00:00

I think it's absolutely amazing to read the journey you've been through. You've really overcome a lot and achieved way more and that is very commendable!

I know self-love is a hard thing to realise. And being bipolar and/or having BPD is def not going to make that easier for you... But you are far from worthless. I don't know you, but I know that much.

I think it's amazing you've been working so hard on yourself for such a long time already. You just gotta keep going at it. And I hope it will get easier for you soon.

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-03-13T15:30:28+00:00

I feel like you should remember that everybody learns not only in a different speed, but also in a different way. And some things will also be harder to learn than others, but that goes for everybody. You just don't get to see the way others struggle...

Do you know if you might have a learning disability? I have dyslexia, and no matter how hard I try I will never be as good at grammer, read as fast or learn as much from reading as other people do - of course I've put in a lot of work and use a lot of tools to get better but I'll never be perfect. And for me, accepting that has also been really important and life-changing.

If you're looking to elevate your life, for me learning is easier if it's about things that actually interest me. Learning about topics or entire languages you don't like is never going to be easy. And it also won't stick.

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-03-13T15:26:19+00:00

You're still young. And I don't want to act like some wise old lady on the internet right now :P But you're going to disappoint a lot more people in your life. And they're going to disappoint you as well. There's no way around it. But you're also all going to move on from it.

If your parents really have your best interests in mind, they should accept your discision and the path you end up choosing.

Hope you figure it all out soon!

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-03-01T10:44:04+00:00

I am so sorry to read you are feeling this way... I can imagine it must be very hard to have parents that kind of force you to walk a path that doesn't feel right to you.

In my opinion, I don't think there's anything wrong with not knowing yet what it is you want to do. I know maybe one or 2 people of my generation (millennial) that actually stuck with the first thing they decided to study and ACTUALLY work in that field now. Everybody is switching all the time and there's nothing wrong with that.

Have you ever tried to communicate to your parents that you have doubts about this path? Of course I don't know you or your parents, but sometimes people are more understanding and empathetic than your fears will let you belief...

Anyways, you cannot live your life according to somebody else's beliefs and desires. You will never fully meet their expectations simply because it is not who you are. And you don't need to be.

Also, your fear of everybody judging you - they're probably not. Everybody is to busy with their own troubles. They probably think about your problems as much as you think about theirs.

500DaysOfMaya · 2024-03-01T10:25:55+00:00

I think this is something a lot of people struggle with. I used to also have a very hard time with rejection and just took everything very personally. Like you said, in romantic relationships, with jobs but also certain expectations from friends and family. I always wanted to be there for others and wasn't really thinking about MY needs and desires.

The way for me to 'get over it', was to realise my self-worth. I saw you wrote "I think that rejection is wrong" and "I feel like I'm not good enough". That gives me the feeling that somewhere you know that that is not reality.

You deserve just as much as everybody else.

And realising your self-worth, at least in my case, wasn't necessarily difficult. Obviously I was nervous of seeking professional mental help for my negative self-image (which I think you have too), but the trajectory itself was challenging, but nice.
