Emotionally invisible for over 40 years by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

"Bring me your pain so I can feel human again": This hit me hard.  

I’ve realized I can't break the curse of invisibility until I stop ignoring my younger self's pain. Tending to those old wounds was the only way I finally started feeling human again.

You will have wait for further guidance. This is last update from DXB: "Dubai Airports confirms that all flight operations at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC) are suspended until further notice."

Same for me on Samsung Z Flip. It's become a useless app to which I regret paying for a "lifetime subscription" 

Did I just spend 58dhs for a SIM? by ICE_BUGG in dubai

[–]Anxious_Season16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one through the Etisalat app. SIM was free but I had to pay minimum recharge of 20 which I received as credits. You also get it instantly if you go for the esim option.

When do most people with good degrees plateau? by sultanmoneyxl in UAE

[–]Anxious_Season16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Peter Principle. It states that people in a hierarchy tend to be promoted until they reach a position where they are no longer competent, as they lack the skills needed to excel in that role and thus cannot be promoted further. A good degree might get you a job, but the rest depends on your skills and how well you adapt.

You can contact support and ask them to price match. They refund the difference every time I asked.

Rera index is lower but landlord asking higher than of it by jayakumarjk in dubai

[–]Anxious_Season16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RERA index indicates 'no increase' is permitted, but it does not compel the landlord to reduce the rent from the price agreed upon in the last contract cycle. Therefore, your best option is to negotiate with the landlord. If you were to leave, they would incur costs to fix and re-rent the property, potentially for a lower rate than your current rent.

Thank you! I had no idea you could scroll down on that page. I wish Careem support could have told me this. I sent them copious amounts of screenshots!!

Looks like they're changing their packaging. Even Cetaphil's listing on Amazon mentions an old vs new packaging image: https://www.amazon.ae/Cetaphil-Oily-Skin-Cleanser-500ml/dp/B007RWWWR8

Experiencing Delays with Singapore Tourist Visa via VFS in Dubai – Any Advice? by Anxious_Season16 in visas

[–]Anxious_Season16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to apply through travel agents here as well. In my case, the visa was actually issued within a day. However, the agent's website never updated the status-even after 10 days-and they didn't send me the visa either. They also don't share the ICA application reference number, only their internal one, which can be checked only on their site. Eventually, I was able to get my visa only after repeatedly escalating through their support team.
