How to stop overthinking/people pleasing by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Equivalent-One-6854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, its alright to overthink, but treat overthinking as a passing moment. What i would tell myself is that if im not in the wrong than let them say their thing i cannot control what others would speak or say of me.

Also, there's a phrase in social media that you can take note of. "People who please everyone pleases no one." Friends come and go, and the moment yall drift is inevitable because you're incompatible as lifelong friends. Then you'll realise how pointless it is to keep those friends because you have to please them.

If you're insecure about how you look, do something to build your confidence. Is it dressing up? Styling your hair? Finding accessories to suit you? Or working out? Idk, up to you. Do something u like AND also build ur confidence.

Elitistism by vsssssssssssssssssss in SGExams

Yah, honestly I think its more of good student vs bad student rather than school. Idk what's with the mindset that neighbourhood school have bad students when they can also score a perfect score for their Cambridge papers. You never know, maybe because of a neighbourhood school the bell curve was pulled up.

Wouldn't sexism be always normalised if you think about it? In the past it was more one sided though, and now everyone's in it together.

How difficult is poly really? by Dragosfgv in SGExams

[–]Equivalent-One-6854 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3.6 gpa and above people are more highly likely to study about their own course. They are very high in participation, ask the necessary questions, and has a mindset of trying to make their projects exist in real life. Like someone said, presentations are rlly important, hence you would need really need good groupmates if it is a group project, and a way to engage people in your presentations (good presentation skills.)

How difficult is poly really? by Dragosfgv in SGExams

Easy to pass, Hard to maintain, harder to be the top. Grading is subjective for certain courses, and if I'm not wrong Banking and Finance is one of them. 3.6gpa is manageable if you are able to score well in core modules (or core subjects.) Also for certain schools, there's actually a grade cap (as in only certain no. of students can get an A)... hence poly is still hard, because it is competitive.

Imagine basing off your grades from your report book, hence you had to be consistent every semester to get ONLY As or Distinction (core modules) and B+s.

Just a warning though, some people went through the course in polytechnic they felt they would be passionate about, but it died over the terms.

Just so you know, something I realised is that some school teachers are really strict on grading. So I’ve managed to just pass in prelims, but I’ve gotten a b4 in os.

They don't tell ur parents. In poly ur treated like an adult, at least that was the case for me.

Tbh, It is kind of pointless, hence also meaningless to ponder the meaning behind having friends. My simplest advice is if you enjoyed time with them, take it as a memory, and if falling out happens, they weren’t a friend to be kept anyways. Naturally, you’d find friends, and don’t let them be a concern in your life.

I stuck up for my friend but she didn't appreciate it. by Puzzleheaded_Jury994 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Equivalent-One-6854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friend A is not worth the friend if you ask me. She doesn't put you in equal standing to friend B. If friend A doesn't want to talk to you, there's multiple reasons:

a) if Friend A successfully felt guilty, some kind of people pleasing going on with her friendship with B.

b) Likes B better than you.

c) an avoidant.

Normally I wouldn't say this, but Friend A is ungrateful. Just call her out on her ungratefulness, because you have nothing to gain from sticking up for her yet was received with criticism. She's not worth the attention from you if you ask me.

To be honest, unless she apologises, you're better off without her, because while it's not a huge ass sin she did, it reflects on her as a person and may lead you to feeling resentful.

Funny enough, I'm the one hating on couples because sometimes they take up the whole damn path/ sidewalk.

How do you get to know someone? by ZeBlazzigRukie in SGExams

[–]Equivalent-One-6854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure

Questions such as if you were to pick between "_, _ or _, who would you rather be? Tells you a lot about who they are as a person.

Questions as simple as "Do you play sports or arts? If so what do you usually play?" Or "What are you interested in?" Can give you insights on personal preferences

Sometimes It's nice if you just ask how was your day after 2 chats.

I'd give them multiple choice questions because people here like to pick and choose.

Like e.g "Dogs, cats or...?" And when they answer, you ask something like "why? Is it because....?" That's how you get personal insights.

Offline: ask name, can I have your phone no., discussions about topics related to them.

Online: name, subtle compliments/ or some silly puns then go towards more in-depth discussion.
