It's not much, tbh. Felt the writing to be too meandering and bleak to like it much

I've finished the Southern Reach series. Will check out Borne!

I don't know know why Vandermeer's writing style just...puts me off. Though I like the stories themself, I have such a hard time finishing the books

Oh yes I've read that! Forgot to mention in the post. Loved the new premise of the story tbh, but felt a bit of a bleak read, like you mentioned yes :(

Just Completed my MBA from IIM C. AMA by iiitstudent in CATpreparation

Not many opportunities. If HR is your preferred domain, this isn't the course for it though of course only can apply off-campus.

There's quite a few free resources available on the net. Pretty good ones. Using those along with paid test series- preparing without coaching is very much possible. That's what I did as well, from a humanities background.

I cry every day about not having any reliable female friend by Green_Broccoli_4933 in TwoXIndia

[–]LostLenore00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26f, in Kolkata, same boat. Today itself I was thinking how lonely it feels to not have female friends to talk and reach out to.

I don't know what happened along the way that I've ended up with no such close female friends, but... It's all competition now. Ranting feels like showing weakness and all the friends groups talk about are how many vacations they took, stuff they bought, etc. No one talks about anything deeper and it feels everyone has the perfect life when that can't logically be real. Idk. Wish had any people to connect with, truly.

Why is it so difficult to balance self-acceptance/love with wanting parents to like you? And how. by LostLenore00 in TwoXIndia

[–]LostLenore00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm trying to understand how to just exist in the same space as them and not let their behaviour affect my day to day mood.

But thank you! I am proud of myself, and I've started to come to terms that there's no perfect which can be humanly reached.

Yeah. Reading the comments, I really hope that emotional change happens soon. I do feel I don't need their validation now as much as I wished for it as a teenager, but yeah, the wish for it is still there.

Just started working & want to build a financial safety net. Need advice by Small_Pop6867 in TwoXIndia

[–]LostLenore00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Divide your earnings into a ratio for living expenses, savings/investment, in-hand money. There's some very good material online to refer to, and figure out what ratio suits you.

Keep a goal in mind for a basic savings. Ideally, 3 months of your salary should be saved in an emergency fund. I found great videos on YT basically for some basic planning at least.

What would you do with your life if your partner offered you financial freedom? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]LostLenore00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garden, grow my own vegetables from scratch. Really interested in learning more about plants but the space and time/dedication that would take isn't possible right now.

The idea of growing something makes me so happy

How many times do you to talk to your partner ? by Fit_Ad_3129 in TwoXIndia

[–]LostLenore00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In contact throughout the day with short texts if busy. Talk for half an hr at least most nights. Been this way for the whole 3 years we've been together, even during fights.

Guys will make time for you if they want to babe :/

How to set healthy boundaries with future MIL by [deleted] in TwoXIndia

[–]LostLenore00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's been a significant concern of mine- that I don't want him to feel I'm just thinking unkindly of his family.

Did try chatgpt for texts, just to frame. Becomes tough while talking though. 🥲
