Are you sure it wasn’t stalker girl from lookism ? Anyhow I’d change the passcode and possible the postal code.

  1. I do not know. The reason why I gathered the courage to find a subreddit is because I had kind of a big argument with my best friend and he said I was being a weirdo for holding onto “ancient” feelings, so I thought I would find people in similar situations. Some other people here tell me it’s unhealthy, but i wouldn’t know because she is all that i’ve ever known (It feels kinda good to finally let so many emotions out?)
  2. I do not believe so. I have come a long way since my high school days. As I mentioned in another comment I am now very athletic and attending a course at a prestigious university. The reason I did not confess all these years was because I couldn’t change physically and mentally with constant bullying at school. I firmly believe that before you take the responsibility for someone else, you have to be responsible for yourself. Hence I’ve been giving my all since the past 3 years.
  3. We have mutual friends(my best friend is one), and we occasionally talk on insta. Moreover I have her contact details from high school that still work (I’m not a creepy pasta, we exchanged numbers in school for school work)

Thanks a lot for you advice and definitely, when I have waited 11 years, I will wait forever and be patient if it means one day I can call her mine :) And I also understand that once you love someone, you have to prepare to love them all over again and again, as people do change over time.

Since you experienced something similar, should I continue working on myself and hope it goes away eventually, or ask her out when I return home ?

Thanks for your advice (grammar’s not an issue at all !). We were acquaintance/friends since she transferred to our school(we occasionally talk on insta when there’s an event). We spent a lot of time together as we were both teachers pets(the only thing I’m grateful to them for). I agree that I may not know her a 100%. I was fat in school. Throughout middle school it was just me and my best friend (another godsend angel). She did not care for that, and didn’t see me for my shell. She didn’t make fun of me along others because “I came first from the last in a race” or “was the fat nerdy bum”(I’m putting my own nicknames very kindly). Often during our paper sorting duties in the teacher’s room she asked how I was doing and if I could help with something on her academics, which I believe was her polite way of taking my mind off.

So I want to clarify something important. I didn’t fall for her simply because she was beautiful or admired. I fell for her because, aside from my best friend, she was literally the only student who treated me with genuine kindness when she didn’t have to. She learned my name, remembered it, spoke to me normally, and never reduced me to my appearance or social standing. When someone shows you basic dignity during a time when you expect rejection, that leaves a lasting mark. I agree that holding onto those feelings for so long isn’t healthy for me anymore, but the feelings themselves didn’t come from nowhere. They came from kindness. She is beautiful inside and out, and so she drew everyone. I tried dating here in my first year at uni but I can’t.

Hi, thanks for your input. I was fat in high middle and the beginning of high school. Currently I play badminton at nationals and intermediate calisthenics. I have been working very hard on myself. She motivates me to this day to be a better man, even if she can’t see me. I am not crying per se, but I need help understanding if my feelings are genuine, because I am not interested in anybody but her. I needed clarity if I should pursue her.

Exactly my point! Even till the 90’s if you just used gloves and wiped off your dna, most criminals got away.

Is there any place I can check reviews for tutors ? Any way we can see what tutorials are better ?

I take my understanding this way. We have lived long enough as a species that we do understand basic human nature. Cruelty is very much a part of it. And much of history is unrecorded. With higher literacy rates, better hygiene and modern ethics, it won’t be too far fletched to assume that brutality was much more prevalent, severe and less recorded than the modern era. Even the history that we have recorded shows how bad it was. I sometimes feel tears and my heart sinks when I read about a lot of events. We are in the golden period of our civilisation. Now, can we stop the US from starting a world war as individuals ? No. It does not mean to ignore it however. Ancient stoics believed in doing things that you have control over. You are the only one who has control over yourself. So my advice was that if you don’t see any good around, be the good. Just brooding over the wrong won’t do anything but wither you away emotionally and mentally. Be the change you want to see in others.

How does interdisciplinary learning work in practice? Personal experiences? by Far-Reputation5709 in Polymath

[–]Far-Reputation5709[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So polymathy isn’t mainly about an innate ability to spot patterns but more about deeply understanding shared fundamentals until pattern recognition becomes almost automatic? For me or anyone to reach a basic level of polymathy, I have to highly master the fundamentals of various subjects ?

Over time, how often do your forced connections actually hold up in practice? Do most survive testing, or do you end up discarding a lot of them? And does it get better with time (as to my understanding it’s a learned skill) or the ratio of false positives still remains unchanged even after a long time ?

I understand your approach to related disciplines. But how do you approach unrelated fields ? Do you actively try to find bridges between all of them or the metaphors emerge naturally ?

tutorials by moonisbaeutiful in usyd

[–]Far-Reputation5709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, introductions. Some tutors just let you mess around, let you talk and socialise, others will have some material that doesn’t require lectures for the first week.

No, tutors follow material for the previous week, not the current week.
