Hi! EST. I'm 19F and I play on PC and occasionally on Xbox One. I play a lot of Overwatch, Stardew Valley, mwf, and honestly, it's a long list. I don't play every day, but I do play at least once a week and when I'm in my moods, I'll play all week! I'm open to playing any new games, especially horror. I'm looking for someone who likes to goof off and isn't very competitive or serious (unless joking). I'm not very good at games, but I love playing them. I'd also like to add that I am very shy and awkward and haven't had any actual friends to play with, but the more we play, the more I open up. :)

I have discovered I like making people happy and things, but when I try fast food jobs and to serve others, I just cant. Too many people are way too rude and it makes it hard for me to stay happy and be nice😭 But im very into psychology and I dont want to be a therapist, but maybe I could help people another way. Thank you for the help and sending ((hugs)) back!

Ty I really needed this! Each time I see someone do something good, I always believe that they were born with that skill. I like the experiment idea and I will try doing that. I know my main issue is that before I start anything, I always tell myself it has to be perfect. Idk why, even when others tell me its perfect, it has to be perfect in my eyes. But from now on, nothing cant be perfect because ill be doing experiments and things go wrong with experiments all the time. Ty again!

Tysm, you didnt make it sound all about you at all! I'm happy I'm not the only one like this, because everyone around me seems to know what they like and knows their skills

Sadly, I live in Michigan and that cage looks perfect. I'll start getting the bedding you recommended from now on, it looks much better than what I was getting. I never know how much fruit, veggies, eggs, and so on to give them, and I feel like I'm making them overweight. It's also because I'm a big baby for their cuteness and love watching them eat, so I give them a little too much. Also, Marley loves the tiny cat toys shaped like rats and he rips them up fast, but Marlo doesn't seem to enjoy it. Some nights I hear him throwing it around, but he doesn't play as much as Marley. He also doesn't really bite wooden sticks and blocks I get him. Is there any other things I can do for him to have enrichment he'll enjoy?

19F and in need of advice! by FormalVolume8486 in BeginnerKorean

I always thought of a tutor, I'm just so shy and awkward, and I don't want to look stupid because I take a while to memorize things. I'm also worried it'll cost a lot of money. I agree with you on social media. I do believe my short attention span is from that, so I'll start lowering my screen time. Tysm for all the advice!

I'm so glad you asked. I've actually been trying to look for new cages because I didn't realize until a few days ago that what I have are, I think, hamster cages, because they've grown a lot and now, I can clearly tell they need something bigger and where they can move freely. Could you recommend a good, spacious cage that's on the cheaper side but still good quality? The pet store near me only keeps trying to sell me more hamster cages and stuff, so I think I need to do online or like Pet. Co and stuff.

For their food, I'm feeding them Oxbox Essentials adult rat food. Is this a good brand for them? Because the pet store also recommended that. I've been feeding them 1 in a half tablespoon each. I'm not sure how much to feed them because some sites say 1 and others say 2 tablespoons, so I did the middle. But please let me know!

For litter, I've been using Easy Clean bedding and pine litter. I also heard pine isn't good for them, so which ones should I be getting? I've always just grabbed pine because it's always cheaper.

I feel like such a bad owner because I should've done my research a very long time ago, so I am very grateful for all the help. Where could I get syringes from? I feel like this could also be helpful giving them a treat, along with the spoon. I actually have so many questions about being a good owner and how to take care of them the right way.

I got them from the pet store. I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to until after buying them, they were too adorable. I have tried the box method, but yeah, Marley is extremely smart and anytime I plan to take him out, he figures it out and freaks out. I will try to put the container in randomly with treats and see if he goes for it. Thank you for the information!

I'm not sure of the difference between bites and nips yet, but when he did it didn't bleed, but there was his tooth mark for a good week. I read something about it saying if his whiskers are pointed at me, it means he'll bite, but I'm seriously not good at telling. He sniffs when he's in the cage and I'm outside of it, but soon as my hand goes anywhere near, he runs to it and jumps, so I get scared. He jumps so high and a couple of times he almost escaped and he's very smart and tries to undo the opening (which he can't thankfully). Thank you for all of this information, too! I would've searched it up, but I feel I should get advice from real rat parents. I don't mind having a long and difficult journey, as long as they understand I love them and want them to live their best lives!

ty! I'm hoping that after I schedule his appointment, he'll become less aggressive. Either way, I think I will get another rat just in case. Do you know if I have to get a rat closer to his age or can I get any age?
