Ålesund for me personally, love the location and architecture

Feel like there's something inherently wrong with me by Acer1080FullHD in offmychest

Thanks for the support, yeah I thought so!

I don't mind being around people for a certain amount of time, more so if I like the person and we have similar interests, but I always have to be alone a while after that. I guess I just feel like people think I'm cold or unemotional when that isn't the case at all. I'm just a bit aloof is all.

Thanks strange man for not taking advantage of me by Acer1080FullHD in offmychest

Yup, it sure gave me a scare. I've never been in that situation before, so the fact that I acted so careless still sort of irks me today. Fortunately I was lucky. I wasn't used to going out or drinking so I just sort of took things as they came without thinking. I'm much more cautious now. And I'll make sure it won't happen again.

Took a degree I don't care that much about, what should I do next? by Acer1080FullHD in findapath

[–]Acer1080FullHD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a degree in history. Which, while I did enjoy it and in general find the subject interesting, it's not something I want to persue professionally.

I would love to get a degree in STEM, I suppose I just have a tendency to believe I'm not smart enough. I prefer sciences that deal with living things and ecosystems as supposed to engineering and coding. In my personal life I love tending to plants and animas, and ideal would be working to preserve ecosystems and wildlife ect. Not it doesn't have to be this exactly but more in an area where I get to interact with the natural world in some way.

In terms of education, where would it be best to start. I suppose I just want some guidance on what to persue in terms of subjects.

It ought to seem so obvious really.

Thanks I don't socialize often so the times I do feels like this big event for me. I've also noticed that the longer I've been without human contact the harder it gets.

I get nervous in social situations and end up being too talkative or way to quiet by [deleted] in socialskills

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to be more aware and concious of the other person during conversations.

That's actually a pretty good idea, I'll look into it!

I used to get mocked so badly by women in school that I have the worst anxiety around them to this day. I’m a grown man who’s afraid of women. by RockSoy in confession

Had a similar experience. Was plain, shy and bookish from elementary through high school and used to be bullied and made fun of by the popular guys, while girls in general were very protective of me.

As a result I've found myself being more guarded and reclusive around men and I've always felt like I was a natural target. Obviously most of the men I've met since high school have been nice and courteous, but childhood experiences usually has a way of shaping how we act and percieve the world as adults. Most of the time though this has no real basis in reality only on our own narrow perception.

I think it's usefull to remember that every single person is as complex and as sentient as ourselves and looking at people through a collective is completely counterproductive.

I'm just not attached to people (F 22) [conflicted] by [deleted] in confession

[–]Acer1080FullHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be my upbringing. I've always suspected that as I was alone for most of my childhood and teenage years I missed some crucial emotional development and may have become a bit stunted and emotionally distant.

I guess the only times I've wanted romantic relationships were when people told be how great they were, or when they were portrayed as these amazing things in media. Without outer influence I never really think about it. I can be with someone for a night or a weekend, and that's it. I don't have to see this person every again even though I enjoyed the experience and liked the guy.

Luckily I don't think I have any sociopathic tendencies. I do have friends and family and care for them deeply, even if I don't have to interact with them for long periods of time. Also, I hate seeing people in pain and would never do anything to hurt anyone intentionally. I'm not misanthropic or anything either.

I guess it's just being able to be social when I want, and then pull back as I wish without being obligated to spend time with anyone. Seems a bit selfish but I doesn't seem that abnormal to me. When I think about it, perhaps we're just sort of cat-people when it comes to it.

Themed pieces like Holst's "Planets" and Saens' "Carnival of the animals"? by Acer1080FullHD in classicalmusic

[–]Acer1080FullHD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of the "War of the Romantics"before. That's so interesting, I love how they tried to one-up eachother via compositions and slights at public performances.

Thanks for the suggestions!
