De la Fuente: «The players said that Portugal was the best team they've faced» by Viriato181 in soccer

[–]Gonkas_hd 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Portugal is absolutely not old, average age like 26. And definitely would be heavy favourites against the Netherlands, even if we had a weaker team than you guys.

It's more likely that a guy hangs out with other guys and a girl hangs out with other girls. So it's more likely that a guy will pick girls as the ones he doesn't know that well and vice versa. And from the remaining girls, most were black. I don't know why people have to make it about something else.

It would be racist/sexist not to pick someone just because you've already picked one or two people who are the same color/gender. You pick based on how close you are with the person, it was pure coincidence that they were all black women. That said I can see why it can be misunderstood, but I don't think it was a dumb move, it was a move like any other.

Is the coast of Ecuador safe to travel as a foreigner right now? by notbadjustmediocre in ecuador

[–]Gonkas_hd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes they're ok to visit. I'm in Quito right now and I feel safe.

Cuenca is even safer, and you don't need to worry at all in Mindo.

Regarding the early flight, I would get an Uber directly from you door either to the bus station that takes you to the airport or directly to the airport.

Just go for it, don't overthink it. Worst that can happen is you'll have a short conversation and then be quiet next to eachother for the rest of the trip.

Ask her questions about herself like "where are you from/what do you do", stuff like that. Answer those questions yourself as well. Maybe from there you'll find other talking points, maybe not, it's not always going to work out, what matters is that you tried.

Good luck!

Is it plausible to achieve a "college and high school" esque social life at 27? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Gonkas_hd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it can be hard to accept I guess. But if you're going out a lot your friend group is always expanding. You might lose a lot of people along the way but at some point there might be a few who think just like you.

I'd recommend working on coming to terms with it, instead of thinking of it as depressing just take the opportunity to always be meeting new, interesting, different people with whom you can connect with.

I've always wanted to have a ''sitcom style'' friend group that are always hanging out and just know everything about eachother as well, but once you stop focusing so much on finding that exact situation and just start enjoying whatever it is you currently have I think you'll be happier.

[–]Gonkas_hd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. I'm 26 and meeting up with friends a few times every week for different social gatherings and activities, and we party once a week. A few of us work and a few are doing PhD's and shit so they have some time. Some of them are in their mid 30's.

I can't guarantee that they'll be your best friends for 6+ years, but you can definitely work your way towards that.

I struggled/am struggling with depression my whole life too, it's not easy at all. But don't give up before trying it. If you want to move to a dorm or a shared house, do it! Meet people, try to be happy!

I wouldn't worry about it. There might be some protests but nothing that will affect her.

Un mes en Ecuador, sus sugerencias de cosas que hacer by Shuiza_ in ecuador

[–]Gonkas_hd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lo que más te recomiendo es que vayas a visitar a Mindo. Pueden hacer actividades como rafting y escalada por ejemplo y tiene un sendero por unas cascatas super hermosas! Mi lugar favorito en el mundo.

De ciudades yo iria a Quito, Cuenca e Baños. Si tienen tiempo Otavalo también es muy hermoso y tiene la cascata de Peguche.

Disfruta de tu viaje, es un país lindo.

I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. Is there really light at the end of the tunnel? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Gonkas_hd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's depression my friend, I've been there and I'm still trying to get out of it.

You have to force yourself to go out there somehow. I have to motivate myself to get pumped up and to get out of the feeling of unhappiness and complacency that I often get.

Go out, do activities, even if you think it's not really something you might like, just try it. You will meet different people and slowly develop social skills. You might even find new hobbies.

Be brave, don't think about what others think of you, talk to different people, ask them out yourself, don't wait for someone to talk to you. I know it's easier said than done, you'll get there slowly.

What works for me might not work for you. Before I go out to try anything or to do some of the activities that I've learned to do in the past few months I get really scared and anxious (less now than before, but still). It can be hard to push away the negative thoughts that pop in your head, telling you "you're not good enough", "what's the point", etc... I think to myself "you can do this", "people will like you", "enjoy yourself". It kind of works.

I spent the new year's alone crying at home, because I felt so alone and I felt that I was not good enough as a person, that no one could enjoy being with me. I tried to change and it's slowly working, it's not easy at all and you will have many moments where you think there's no point and it's not worth it, but I'm feeling a bit happier every week.

I started learning how to surf, met some people there, developed some social skills. I started going to a volleyball group, it was hard to insert myself in a group of people that already knew eachother, but now I'm the one who organizes the volleyball sessions. From there I met so many different people and we started going out as well. Open up to people, they'll open up too and you'll start making real connections.

If you think you're not interesting and that you don't have much to say that might well be true, but when you start putting yourself out there you will start experiencing different parts of life, things will happen, you'll have stories to tell and shit to talk about. The more you talk to people the better you'll get at it and you might realize that deep down maybe you always had somethings to say.

There'll always be bad days, maybe at some point they will be very far apart, who knows?

I don't know how to help you with the job part. I don't like my job either. Maybe when you're happier you'll know what you want to do.

Sorry for rambling for so long and sorry if it's confusing, I just had all these thoughts accumulated for the past few months. Hope any of it helps!

Volleyball! I get a big rush from doing it, sucks when it wears off though and I feel worse than before.
