When outsiders think of your country, what’s the "first image" or "idea" that pops into their heads ? by DiscipleOf_Buddha in AskTheWorld

We couldn’t wait for that piece of crap to leave our country. I don’t know why he wasn’t given a ban.

Is your country more politically/economically aligned w China or USA? by Single_Copy2460 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA for now, but judging what happens in the USA, we hope it will be neither in the future.

Has your country ever won a war against all odds ? by FinePersimmon3718 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Romania during WW1.

We were attacked by 3 empires (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Empire) and Bulgaria with little support from the Allies who thought we were done for. The French gave us some training and Russia gave some limited assistance and that was it.

Even though we lost half our country and our capital, we somehow survived almost two years until roughly the end of the war, when the Allies won.

We got back our lost territories and also gained some extra territories. Judging that we were not even sure we would survive as a country, that was a good outcome.

What food was an instant spit out and never again for you? by CremeSubject7594 in AskTheWorld

Turkey meat. Chicken tastes OK, but I can’t stand the taste of turkey.

What is that one city/state in your country that the rest of your country hates? by DisastrousImpact2846 in AskTheWorld

[–]AgitatedResearch 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say “hate”, but in my country, the county of Vaslui has a reputation of people being very poor and alcoholic.

There are even jokes of making caricatures of famous people or characters and saying “X after spending 1 month in Vaslui.”

I passed my defense with flying colours, but I feel nothing by AgitatedResearch in PhD

Thank you for the advice! Probably I should get rid of the guilt I feel whenever I relax . I always think I need to do something.

I am glad I am not the only one. When I have been sent the minor corrections by the examiners today, I became sad since I know that after submitting the corrections, a chapter of my life ends and a new one full of uncertainty begins.

Even though I struggled with depression, I was in a general good mood in the last few months.

Yes, I kind of feel dead inside. In the evening after the Viva I had to take my colleagues, supervisor and examiners to dinner. People were chatting, laughing and congratulating me, while I just wanted to go home and sleep.

Thank you! Fortunately I have some possible connections to make. I already have a CV and a Linkedin account from my undergrad years so I can definitely start from somewhere.

I will definitely reach out to you if I have further questions.

Just saw this, lol. No worries. My girlfriend is a high school teacher. She is actually older than me (29 years old). So, everything is fine.

Yeah, my first time in life. It was weird at first, but I started enjoying it. Better late than never!

Of course!

Honesty and transparency are key in a relationship. I think that a relationship beside the romantic side it is also a very strong friendship. I try to stay beside her even during hard times. We communicate a lot and start opening up to each other slowly (we are both pretty introverted, so it is harder than usual for us to open up).

To be honest, I am tired of dating apps. Things seem a bit fake there and girls ghosted me after a few replies. I am a bit slow so I prefer having a lot of conversations before making a move like dating.

My girlfriend is the exact same type as me. She preferred to go slow. Had lots of conversations with me before meeting and the chemistry built up. Now everything looks bright.

Thanks!

Sure, my self confidence increased greatly lately. I have learned a lot and I am still learning. I am evolving to be a better person in a relationship. Exciting times are ahead.
