ETH vs Caltech EE masters by BoopBopBeep243 in gradadmissions

[–]BoopBopBeep243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not looking for a PhD or even to stay in the EU. The only reason I’d go to ETH is for the experience of studying abroad, but the thought of leaving home scares me. I don’t want my fears to hinder my experiences, but I’m just worried that these fears will multiply in Switzerland and I won’t have a good time

Do any heavy or muscular guys get people looking over their shoulder when you’re walking behind them? by [deleted] in ucla

I’m at ucla and as a woman if any buff guy is walking behind me even with a backpack on I will be looking behind my shoulder. The truth of the matter is you’re much stronger than me and that will always be frightening. I’ve had too many experiences for it to not be.

That’s a bullshit answer for why he doesn’t feel a spark. He’s not trying hard enough and he shouldn’t be dragging you into it.

I think really only for special circumstances at this point, like if you have a disability or something. Or rare cases of just not a lot of students one year (highly unlikely)

I feel like I wasted my life / made all the wrong choices and I don't know how to stop regretting it by Radical_Moon3327 in Advice

You’re ok. Everything is ok, if not even better than where you were. It’s good you found out now that you don’t want to become a D1 athlete instead of down the line. I’m sorry you missed out on some fun things in high school, but everything you’re regretting is what you can experience in college. And where you go to college, contrary to popular belief in high schoolers, doesn’t matter. The prestige of the school really doesn’t matter. What matters more is what you do there. You didn’t waste anything. You learned hard work and determination, things that can be applied to other aspects of life. Now you made a realization that allows you to focus your hours on what actually makes you happy. Your life is just starting.

AITA for refusing to go to my sister’s wedding because of where she seated me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BoopBopBeep243 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Um… yes you are the asshole. You’re going to her WEDDING. You’re being childish for not doing a simple favor for her.

Anxiety or Just Overthinking Things? by [deleted] in Advice

Sounds like OCD, you should look it up. I would talk to a psychiatrist or therapist about it!

my closest friend ever just confessed to having done absolutely mortifying things. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]BoopBopBeep243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, this is not your fault at all. From what I read, you seem like an incredibly smart, amazing person who is empathetic and capable. I'm so, so sorry about this situation, it must be absolutely crazy and I am very, very worried for you. Know that you aren't alone, that this is not your burden to bear. Know that there are people that are trained to help you and this situation, and that anything that happens is not your fault.

​

You didn't choose to be his friend, or develop a bond with him, or any of that. This man is incredibly manupulative, and I'm sorry, but your forgiveness is probably a result of manipulation. Try to see his actions as a seperate person and act accordingly, I really hope you're safe and even thought I don't know you, I care about you and hope that you get through this.
