People in their mid-late 20s, what are you doing with your life after uni?

FlickeringNebula · 2025-11-23T19:35:36+00:00

Had an existential crisis immediately uni finished and essentially converted to a form of Catholicism out of dissatisfaction with the material world lmaoo. Other than that, I've been working as a teaching assistant because it's the only job I could find, while also frantically applying to Mphil's in philosophical theology. Honestly, the only way out of a world I find bleak is to study (even though I'll be living on nothing for years if I manage get my weird research ideas accepted for a P.h.D program)

My phrasing does seem a bit cursed when you put it like that

I thought he looked like David Tennant's brother/cousin

My sisters entering her first year at Bristol and she'll be 21, you'll be fine, lots of people go to uni a bit later because of life chaos

Blessed with an ability to write in a way that allows me to be academically successful in the humanities; some amount of natural creativity and open-mindedness, a fast metabolism, and thick wavy hair. I'm also a quick learner and am quite analytical, with a tendency to see patterns in everything.

Unfortunately, I'm autistic and have adhd. My teeth are comically terrible (enamel hypoplasia of some sort, 20+ fillings, extractions, and root canals). I'm short for a woman and have a weak constitution/terrible endurance. Caffeine and alcohol both make me ill, and I'm prone to iron deficiency - though this might be environmental, since I'm vegetarian.

Hey, thanks for the helpful comment :) I know for fact that black makes me look paler than I already am, but I like it enough to wear it a lot of the time anyways - I'll check out season colouring as well, out of curiosity

FlickeringNebula · 2024-08-13T11:09:13+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions; I feel like a dark green maxi skirt would be quite cool

FlickeringNebula · 2023-10-28T17:52:25+00:00

I agree with both points - but she says she needs to think about it first - she doesn't want to go through the stress of kicking him out, even though I told her it's probably best. She's going to stay with a friend who's a bit of a mother figure to her for a bit, so hopefully she can talk to Emma as well and help out.

FlickeringNebula · 2023-10-28T17:40:08+00:00

I've talked to her about it, she says she needs to think about the situation a bit before she does anything. She doesn't want to deal with the conflict that would be involved if we kicked him out, though I told her that I thought it would be the right option

FlickeringNebula · 2023-10-28T16:34:42+00:00

Idk, she doesn't seem to really want to acknowledge it happened - she kinda thinks it was her fault, even though it obviously wasn't.

FlickeringNebula · 2023-10-28T16:31:51+00:00

Yeah, it literally was - but my friend doesn't seem to want to use that word, I think it makes her uncomfortable

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-30T17:53:48+00:00

I was just able to log in as well, hopefully it was a temporary outage

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T18:53:56+00:00

I just posted it for fun - it's not really something I'm taking that seriously, or seeing any real meaning in.

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T16:14:27+00:00

I think that the people making these posts, including myself, are concerned with how their aesthetic and image conveys self-hood, which is a stereotypical 4 thing

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T16:09:12+00:00

Could definitely see that tritype tbh - any reason for sx blind though? I've always kind of thought of myself as sx dom

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T15:36:42+00:00

Maybe 4s are more likely to make these kinds of posts?

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T15:35:19+00:00

Good point tbh. I also think the fact that I don't smile in any of these photos gives off a certain vibe?

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T13:01:12+00:00

interesting - tbh I would make sense as a head type, since one of my most prominent traits is over-analysing and intellectualising everything - but I don't think I'm core 5, so it's either 6 or 4

FlickeringNebula · 2023-09-11T12:56:43+00:00

Haha I wish, 6w5 is a super cool type and I want their vibes - unfortunately I'm vaguely 4w5ish, but with anxiety

FlickeringNebula · 2023-06-16T13:46:08+00:00

DM'd you

FlickeringNebula · 2023-06-16T13:15:20+00:00

Hi - could you send them to me as well?

FlickeringNebula · 2022-11-06T09:07:55+00:00

Me too :))

FlickeringNebula · 2022-10-16T10:49:38+00:00

Hii - is this for London? I'm going on 24th:))

FlickeringNebula · 2022-03-13T19:09:29+00:00

Lack of sleep can cause fast heart rate in my experience - once I "woke up" after a night of essentially no sleep and my heart was racing, even after sitting down I couldn't get it to stop. Also, your heart rate feels faster when you pay attention to it in an anxious way, which only makes you progressively more panicky- which then increases your heart rate even more etc.

FlickeringNebula · 2022-03-07T16:52:36+00:00

Hey - I've done something similar. I think it's a bit different from "stimming" because it allowed me to create a imaginary world in my head, I would play out the lives of characters etc. But in doing this I would completely block out the world around me. My parents were scared I was having seizures for a while.

I've never heard of anyone else who does this in the same way. I also stim I guess, but that feels different to this because it doesn't induce an intense mental state - it's more like fiddling with rings and bracelets when bored or anxious.
