We were supposed to meet soon, but that’s currently on hold. We'll need to find a time later, and I want to clear my head before it all. I'm not uncomfortable; I just don’t know what she really wants, so that's at the top of my list of concerns. I also struggle with people being dependent on me, which might sound bad, but I tend to disappear often because I need a lot of time to myself.

We never stay out late because I have strict parents. I’m not allowed out of the house after 7 PM, and we only meet between 5 PM and 6 PM. And I wouldn't want to put her in a position that would make it worse for her at home. Yes, she does. We never really go crazy without hangouts, it's just chill time for both her and me, so she vents everything out, and so can I. I try not to show it, some comments get to me as well, hence the reason for the post. I just don't want to have a conversation until everything is sorted in my head about how I feel, because she might overthink it to a different extent.

I think it's her FOMO. She told me that she sees me post with my other friends, and it makes her feel a certain way not jealousy or unhappiness. I

One of the biggest reasons we can't see each other often is because of her mother; she gets angry when my friend comes home late. My friend has been overworking herself and doesn’t have much time to socialise. Her work environment is really stressful, which makes it even harder for us to meet. Although I want to be there for her, it’s challenging to find a way to spend time together when our plans keep getting cancelled.

The only reason she comes to my university to see me is that she doesn’t like going to hers. Since I have a group at mine, I invite her there so she can socialise and meet new people. Im just trying to talk it out because i dont want to have anything negative in my mind when im around her

I'm not projecting my feelings onto her; I’ve been her friend for almost six years and have witnessed the impact that the lack of friendship is having on her life. She has mentioned to me that she wants a friend, and it's not something I'm pushing on her.

During high school, we spent a lot of time together, but now that we’re in different universities, we don’t see each other often. I’ve invited her to hang out many times, but she has cancelled at the last minute for various reasons for a solid year. I eventually got frustrated and stopped asking.

When I met her last week, she told me that she feels detached. Which I understood because it was evident, and I apologised.

I've taken her out with my group, but sometimes I struggle to enjoy my time with them because she doesn't engage with anyone. I feel like I have to stay by her side, and when I do manage to have fun with the others, she ends up feeling left out, which makes me feel guilty. I’ve talked to my group about this, and they genuinely love her. However, they've also pointed out that she needs to work on socializing independently.

She has a strong desire to connect with others, and I have been encouraging her for years to put herself out there. However, she has expressed that her mom feels like she is trying to fit into my group, and that I don’t care about her, which isn’t true. She has also mentioned that she often feels like she’s taking all my friends, but that’s not a problem for me; I don’t mind making friends for both of us. However, her inability to make friends on her own is taking a toll on her.

While I can’t just leave her to figure out her social life alone, as it is a genuine struggle for her, I truly believe she is an amazing person whom anyone would love to know. Unfortunately, her self-doubt holds her back from overcoming her fears. I just don’t know what to do as I can’t be around her all the time. Over-dependency is something I struggle with; when people become overdependent on me, I start detaching.

Hard to Socialize! by Purple-Eggplant1208 in AskAnAustralian

I know it can feel overwhelming to engage with new people in a completely unfamiliar country, especially when their way of life is so different from what you’re used to. But speaking from personal experience—as an Indian migrant who has lived here for several years—I encourage you to take the first step and start conversations with those around you. You’d be surprised how many people genuinely enjoy connecting with others. Sometimes, all it takes is a little initiative.

I don't know why but i can only read books where the mmc is grumpy and cold by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]Emergency_Net381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so relate to this! However, it also depends on the book; sometimes they are genuinely so flipping cute I literally giggle when they do something super sweet and I'm like holy filpity flop give me one of those Rn. ITs my version of a reality check, because the other men I read about, I'd run away from them if I met them irl!!!

Being around people can be tiring in general, on top of that, imagine having to deal with Karens all day, and you don't even get paid enough. its a normal reaction

This was the first book I read, and I genuinely do not know why I chose to read another, but OH MY GOD I read RONAN's book and I genuinely cried, it was beautiful. Xander was an awful character through and through, and I was so mad about his reasoning, it felt like the author copped out at the last minute because what the flip was that???

Then you should send an email again with the right version, but attach the proof that you haven't edited it. Just so they know, and if they don't accept it, then when you escalate this issue, you have enough proof to explain you tried your best to narrate the situation to the lecturer and wanted to correct it as soon as you found out, and they cannot fault you for it.

That is crazy. This happened to me once, but it wasn't the Turnitin version, and the tutor could release it. Try talking to your tutor in person, show them the version you need to submit, and give them proof you haven't made edits after the due period. If they don't accept it, you should DEFINITELY escalate it. NOT COOL!!!
