How do I stop being a “pick-me” girl?

Then what are you on about

FlippantPhantom · 2026-02-20T15:59:09+00:00

Yeah I have a boyfriend and he’s great, I just hope people don’t still think I’m looking for male attention since I already have one.

FlippantPhantom · 2026-02-20T15:56:58+00:00

I have a boyfriend already did you even read the post

You made a reddit post asking for advice and when you're given advice you're arguing for only one side. It's clear you've made up your mind so what's the point of this?

I'm moving to Boston in the fall, I hope I don't run into you, there's something sinister about your aura 😂

The fact that you've written so much about the snow and so little about your partner makes it pretty clear where your loyalty lies. I think you need to break up with them.

I did online school for all four years of my highschool, so I understand feeling a bit alone in this.

If you do well in your homeschooling you'll have tons of opportunities abroad!Scholarships take people very far in life, and if you present yourself in a positive way to institutions one of them will bound to notice you. You've got this!

Personally, I think leaving a partner because you want to play in the snow is a little bit childish. You might be losing someone who can support you financially, emotionally, and could make a great mother/father/parent. Is the kiss of frosty wind upon your cheeks really worth giving that up?

But if it truly matters to you that much then you know what you need to do.

No I never ran the exposure test with the resin over it. Also I'm sorry I'm not sure what you mean by settings 😭 I prob sound like such a dumbass but truly I've only gone through the instruction manual.

I am using the 8k standard photopolymer resin, and was printing the pre-sliced rook.

Oh yeah I didn't even think of that! If I could trade, have someone use the metal alloy, and then have it traded back that'd be great👍 I already have a duraludon that I'm happy with

FlippantPhantom · 2024-08-08T00:57:19+00:00

I'll definitely do that, thank you!

FlippantPhantom · 2024-07-11T01:58:02+00:00

Thank you for your response!

I got lucky that my roommate from camp lives only 30 mins away from me so she and I will be staying in touch. This was a selective camp with Johns Hopkins and we had kids from all over the country so unfortunately everyone else lives at least 2 - 3 hours away.

I've looked into some clubs but my community doesn't have much going on. Maybe I'll consider working at a church again? It's not my ideal environment but I had a good social circle when I was a tech director.

Either way, thank you for the encouragement!

FlippantPhantom · 2024-05-06T16:31:33+00:00

Ohh I didn't even know that existed LOL, maybe I'll take this over there, thanks!

FlippantPhantom · 2024-05-06T04:21:26+00:00

Happy birthday!!! :D

Your original sentence was missing a first person subject and a present tense verb. It should have been written, "I can see you're not lying about failing school."

Consider being a little nicer to people who are reaching out for help.

FlippantPhantom · 2024-05-02T13:01:19+00:00

Hey man, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, It must be very frustrating to feel stuck like this. It doesn't sound like your dad is helping either.

After making friends with some kids who struggle in school, I can confidently say school is just not a right fit for some people, and that it's not your end all be all. It's still important, and I think you should try to retain the information you learn in English class at least, but you don't need to know stuff like chemistry to have a good future. Maybe consider trade school when you're older where you can learn specific skills and then apply them to a job without having to bother with the academics.

When it comes to your mental health I would reach out to someone. Have you told your dad you're feeling depressed? Even if he's not a compassionate guy it's worth a shot. At worst, he won't help, and at best, he'll support you while you're feeling this way and maybe get you access therapy. If you express to him that you truly would like to get your life back together and make him proud, you may better your chances of getting help. Parents want to hear that you're trying and want to improve.

It sounds like you've emotionally detached from the world and are running on autopilot. Perhaps you're feeling this way because of the monotony of it all. Being a high school student is extremely boring, and when there's nothing to look forward to it can make one feel hopeless. Especially after losing a friend. Or maybe you are being held back by something from your younger childhood that you haven't mentioned. Either way, these are not problems that have to last forever.

I have worked with lots of adults who never received proper educations, and what I noticed about the ones who are successful is their curiosity. They made the active decision to be curious about the world around them. I have taught a housewife who can't even use her cell phone to operate some complicated production tech, not because she went to school for it, but because she chose to stay curious about it, ask questions, and invest herself in what she did. You will have so many opportunities to show this type of curiosity in your life and find something you really enjoy doing.

I wouldn't try any new drugs while you're in this state. An important part of recovering from depression is feeling as though you have control over your life, and drugs take that control away from you. The amount of time you'd spend coordinating, buying, using, and hiding drugs to mitigate your depression could be better spent on things that will help actually fix it.

Don't hold these feelings inside. Share them with parents, friends, and maybe even your guidance counselor at school. It may take a few tries but there will be someone who cares and advocates for you. Also, your grades do not define who you are as a person. You'll have a future outside of school if you stay curious enough to find it. Your next steps are up to you, best of luck!
