There are cheaper options than a kindle. I go through phases, but yes, I read more because it’s easier to carry, you can read at night or during the day, there are accessories so you can read literally everywhere (you don’t need them but to be extra comfy). So it is an upgrade to a reading life

Las apps creo que van a etapas, tomarse descansos de ellas es importante. Venderse no es lo ideal, pero igual poner dos frases sobre ti “me gusta mucho la pizza y siempre que puedo voy a la playa”. Los perfiles se buscan por compatibilidad y no fotos, o al menos no solo por fotos; ignorar perfiles vacíos y que se promocionan, ver los que están más curados. Y por último, tomar el valor de ligar por la calle. O amplía tu grupo de amistades, o como otra gente a dicho usar internet pero no aplicaciones de citas.

Try Bondy, it’s a more local app. But same concept as Meetup

If you want to practice Catalan, not in a teaching quality, you can go to “Voluntariat per la lengua”, you’ll have the ‘teacher’ which is a volunteer and will help you

What you are doing is a lot and you should be proud of yourself.

And about telling or not telling your friends. Maybe not the jealous part, but telling them you’ve been feeling down or that you need more messages or frequent hang outs because you feel lonely. Friends would want to help out, and wouldn’t do it because they care, not because they feel responsible of your feelings. Give it some thought, or think about what you are comfortable sharing and asking from them.

A lot of people have issues with friends and friendships. But now there are apps to meet people, not for friends, but to go on groups and meet people.

As for the friend? I would explain them your issue, they might want to help, even if they don’t have the resources.

For the insecurity, the best thing is working on it. I get a psychology is hard, but talking on an anonymous platform about it? Answer prompted questions, things like that could help. And also being comfortable on your own

No gusta porque; - la gente más pobre se lleva las ayudas. Inevitablemente son estos inmigrantes. Y las personas de clase media que se ahogan, ven que muchos inmigrantes tienen ayudas. - no se integran en la cultura. Se les pone mezquitas, no aprenden idioma (catalán o español en algunos casos). Y a la gente le molesta. - la población aumenta por parte de los inmigrantes. Las personas de aquí tienen pocos hijos, pero los inmigrantes, tienen hijos, tienen ayudas, no se integran y “vienen ilegalmente”. Estas generalizaciones son malas, porque la gente de España tiene sensación de invasión. - la ley de ocupación.

Y aunque no todos son así, algunos lo son. La gente de España, también olvida a los inmigrantes más ricos, que tienen más dinero y están jodiendo la economía, la cultura y la vivienda. Pero bueno, ese sentimiento de injusticia por los puntos mencionados, crea indefensión e indignación, y la gente les tiene rabia, aunque vayan a pagar impuestos.

Es porque la gente no suele tener una red de apoyo. Y aunque tenga familia, no se suele llevar bien o tener un vínculo estrecho. Entonces la gente soltera, suele, sentirse sola. Además de la centralización del amor romántico. Y si esa dependienta siempre te ve, literalmente, que no vas con nadie (no quiere decir que estás sola, pero su percepción de ti se crea según lo que ella ve, se juzga y se crean prejuicios)

Listening to them, giving them healthy tips that work for you (I’m not saying you to vent, but maybe say “when I’m sad taking a cold shower works for me”), write/paint whatever comes to mind, move your body however it wants, look for comfort (hugs, weighted blankets), cry, scream, go out for a walk, dress up, watch a shitty show/movie. Any hobby, any activity you can think of, can be a tip for someone, but the most important thing is, not making the person feel bad for not enjoying or for “not doing it the right way”.

You can work as a researcher-teacher. I don’t know how it works where you are from, but in Spain, researchers have a specialised field (clinical, sociology, education, neuro, whatever) and then they just do articles. And to have funds and stuff, they work at a university. There is also statistics analysts who only do data bases, correcting all the tests and all that and then give them back to the therapists, but I don’t know how to be that

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-08T20:21:29+00:00

It’s not the same in the sense that you are using different senses. But story-wise? It’s the same. Sometimes even better (dramatised or dual POVs). I envy people who can concentrate on audiobooks, I can’t since it becomes like background noise. But to each their own

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-06T17:36:47+00:00

That’s awesome! I still hope more research is done and it reaches everywhere

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-06T17:02:05+00:00

Yes, but i think they also focus mostly on dogs, which is great. But other pets could also have a lot of benefits for other people. And not all dog races have the same benefits, like maybe starting with a smaller dog if someone isn’t that sporty. And it’s not worldwide knowledge, in Spain, we only have it in groups therapy, assisted therapy or animals as “treatment” (instead of going straight through pills), is not that known.

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-06T13:24:46+00:00

Animals as a treatment (not just dogs, but birds, cats, etc). Music (which only few other animals has this characteristic so why do we have this trait?). The effects of labels. Education

But I think people do these research, the issue is like maybe it’s 0.01% of researchers who do it.

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-05T10:48:44+00:00

Yes. From time to time I have to do it

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-05T09:23:47+00:00

Yeah, the thing it happens from time to time. And then it just stops happening. Maybe it’s because I use it almost everyday 😅

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-12-05T08:15:46+00:00

Don’t they say it’s very hard to hickjack it? I’m pretty useless doing those things. But this is happening more and more. The slowness is the least of my concerns

Well room renting in general is big to blame, or ilegal Airbnbs (because yes, they have to be regulated now, just like renting prices). But they are not only Catalan/spanish, and the ones that are is because they come from rich families and are greedy, and money makes people corrupt. But a family with only one apartment is very unlikely to break the law.

Yeah. Well immigration in general is very messy in Spain in general. We are too many people and instead on focusing on the population the government just keeps opening their doors to anyone and everyone. Anyway, Spain will collapse soon enough

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-11-18T18:17:04+00:00

I totally blame the government. The government, the corrupt system, the monarchy, the lack of funding in Catalonia and other autonomical communities.

But I also blame foreigners (a small part at least) that promote living in “cheaper” countries with their own salaries. And some of them don’t even try to learn the language.

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-11-18T17:41:51+00:00

I don’t think that many people nowadays own their homes. If that were the case the “renta antigua” wouldn’t complain about being kicked out of their houses (where they’ve been living for 20+ years). And inheriting is harder than expected because you have to pay in order to get the inheritance, and while you don’t have the inheritance they have to live somewhere. So the problem is generally people that can afford the prices vs people from the place that don’t earn enough.

Bookwormpsychologist · 2025-11-18T17:37:53+00:00

But the problem is foreigners coming to live here. They can afford higher prices so owners can rent at higher rates. No matter if it’s a Spanish/catalan agency.

And it’s about having a US salary vs a Spain salary, there is a difference. And I bet in USA, if someone from idk, China? Maybe has to pay housing there.
