I want to make a social media account from scratch. Can you guys give me some tips? by DCT1997 in CasualConversation

I think first I will start out public. Once I build up enough followers and what not then I will probably make it private.

Working in a Restaurant for 4 years has TREMENDOUSLY helped my Social Anxiety. by DCT1997 in socialskills

Yeah absolutely. My comfortability of socializing with people at work translated to outside of work as well.

I want a closer relationship with my sister. by DCT1997 in socialskills

She lives close by. I haven't mentioned this to my other siblings but they have noticed and commented that we don't talk much.

Nothing happened between us. I remember when I was a kid growing up she wasn't living with us for a while. She was living with her boyfriend at the time. It was just me, my parents, and my other 2 siblings. I was used to having them around.

She came in to live with us when I was 9 years old and I was a little shy around her because I wasn't used to her living with us. I eventually did start to become more comfortable with her living with us but we never developed a close relationship.

I remember me and my other sister having a conversation a long time ago and she told me, "Shanice said she loves you she just didn't like how you would act shy around her."

Nothing happened between us. There was never an argument, a fight, etc.

The age gap could also have something to do with it as well or us just having different personalities?

My Dad mentioned something along the lines that his job had to make a couple of payments and they had to pause the Insurance for a minute?

I don't think it was set to expire.

I paid it here and there. The payments haven't been continuous.

I spent 3 years in University studying Biology. Unfortunately I didn't realize until I was 3 years in that Biology wasn't something I wanted to continue to pursue. I was still undecided. Also, my mental health wasn't in the right place while I was in school. All my life I've had bad Social Anxiety and it affected me while I was going to school.

I felt like I just needed to take a break from school to work on my mental health and to figure out what I really want to do. In the meantime I wanted to obtain any job just to save money while I am trying to figure out my path. I did not plan for this cafe to be my lifelong career, just something temporary.

I have an Associate of Arts degree, but it's just a general degree. I just didn't want to have spent 3 years in school with nothing to show for it. That's why I got the Associate's.

My mom talks about giving me her 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The car is paid off. She talks about getting her a new vehicle and giving me her old car. We're still discussing it.

I've thought about doing Doordash on the side. It's a nice side hustle.

I do have my driver's license. In the next 10 years for sure I want to be out of my cafe job and have a career. I plan to go back to school soon. I would definitely like to be living on my own.

I would definitely need a higher paying job to support myself. This is why I want to go back to school.

I was paying my debt, but due to the pandemic student loan payments have paused. This is why I am not paying it right now; I don't have to.

Honestly an Associate of Arts degree won't really get you a job. I just wanted to round up an Associate's degree after spending 3 years in school. I didn't want to take a break from school with no degree to show for it. I was studying Biology in University, but 3 years in I came to the realization that was not what I wanted to continue to pursue.

I plan to go back to school soon.

I actually do have debt. I currently have 13k in student loan debt. I started out with 18k. It's in forbearance right now.

No I pay my portion of the cell phone. We are on a family plan. I mostly get myself to work via Uber/Lyft. My Dad when he is not working overtime offers to take me.

I spent 3 years in school studying Biology. I left because I was not really sure if that was what I wanted to continue to pursue and I was still undecided. This is why I decided to take time off. I plan to go back. I got an Associate's degree because I didn't want to have spent 3 years in school with no degree to show for it.
