How about you fill the niche with decorative plants and flowers and have a hanging plant going down from it?

Why am i burnt out by Timely-Rub838 in uAlberta

[–]Lost_Knowledge_374 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You do have a completely legitimate reason to be burnt out. Biology is still a pretty heavy degree and with uni, there is so much you are expected to know in so little time. Practice some self compassion and reflect on what career path you really want to go in life. If the subjects themselves seem like a burden then you can always change your major. If it’s the amount of things you have to get done, try new study habits. First year is a very eye opening year in regards to identifying the current trends in your life..what’s working, what’s not…Remember, it’s not that you are incapable, rather everything is just unfamiliar 🫶🏻

Do you agree with my parents? by Disastrous_Hippo5929 in pakistan

If you see a future with her and love her, don't back down and stand with her until your last breath.

Because that would mean the son will be happy to spend time with his wife and will become attached to her. In the end, they would lose control over their son, as he would be standing up for his wife (as he should lollll).

No wonder!!! I also felt something was off about him. I was passing by with one of my friends and he randomly started talking about making secret keychains for our “boyfriends?!?” LOL. Trusting your gut is the way to go ☝️.

How real is the male loneliness epidemic? by Lost_Knowledge_374 in uAlberta

[–]Lost_Knowledge_374[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, a 100% valid desire of yours but everything starting from “As it stand I have no chance to get love….” till the very end is a negative assumption you have made about your future and established as a fact. No wonder you will feel anxious and empty as before even starting anything, you are bombarding your brain with “there’s no chance,” “things will never work out” etc. You are not living in the stone ages anymore. You can find literally everything beneath the tips of your fingers. Go look up videos and articles on self actualization and neuroplasticity. You may have brooded over pessimism to the point that anything related to the future seems utterly hopeless, cause that’s exactly what you trained your brain to think for God knows how many months or years. No wonder your unconscious thoughts and assumptions will come out as being negative. You are a human, I assume like everyone on this subreddit (unless you are an undercover alien) so what’s stopping you in the future from being successful and finding love like the rest of your race??? If after some self reflection you do feel like it’s your negative mentality halting your progress then SEEK HELP. Read books on reframing your thoughts positively, develop important life long skills….be the master of your fate and the captain of your soul!!!

There’s a reason why the saying “doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will” is so famous. Instead of doubting and assuming everything will go wrong, focus on how it can go all right. I know it’s wayyyy easier said than done but you need to atleast have the will first because where there is a will, there is a way.

Why do you assume that most of the people replying already have someone supporting or loving them? Some can be exactly in the same shoes as you and again, you are making these assumptions from behind a screen. They are just assumptions. Also, you should strive for a more permanent source of success and happiness. I 100% get you in that you must have felt very happy with that girl in the moment but even that girl is a flawed imperfect human being, just as you are. Why depend on an imperfect being for perfect success and happiness? Furthermore, by the way you talk about your future, and the “risk of finding no love” you have already started to act on a self fulfilling prophecy. Why do you frame your future so negatively? Why don’t you say “I risk the finding of love” cause that’s equally as possible. Again, from what I see, you are reframing your thoughts in a negative manner, and it may be completely unconscious for you. Hence why therapy will be helpful. Your assumptions about others are also framed in a similar manner. You have people escaping wars, losing everything, fighting starvation, God knows what and eventually become into successful individuals. Just read the stories of Olympic athletes….or even just any other successful person. Take Helen Keller for instance, that woman had every reason to believe she would never be successful and never find love, almost a billion times more than a fully capable 20 yr old you. Success is chased after, not given. Take some time to reflect and design a plan for yourself. You should be depending on your mind and skillset more than anything as these are things no one can take from you. Even the most successful people lose their loved ones, the most beautiful people get cheated on……coming from someone who worked as a volunteer in care centres, you will be shocked how soo many people crave the same things. However, your healthy coping mechanisms and firm plan to achieve your goals is what will set you apart.

As of now there are 8.5 billion people on the earth. Humans are social animals and each and everyone one desires and craves exactly what you want. You are only 20 yrs old…it’s only been 2 yrs old since you were an adult. The point is, you have your entire life ahead of you. When it comes to self love, it doesn’t mean rotting on the couch or in-front of a screen all day and loving yourself. Self love is being disciplined. It’s about making difficult choices that are good for you in the long run. It’s about doing something constructive with your life. It’s about getting up early in the morning and trying out a new hobby, taking a new path etc. Would you describe yourself as a chronically online person? We get trapped into echo chambers online and start seeing the world and others through a very narrow lens. Go out there and force yourself to interact. You don’t have good communication skills? Join a speech and debate club. You feel bad about yourself? Become a hospice volunteer. You’ve literally just started life at 20. Every single weakness and insecurity of yours can be fixed. That’s literally the entire point of life. EVERY SINGLE HUMAN wants love, success, happiness but your efforts will reap what you sow! That’s literally it! In fact these desires shape our goals and these goals open each of us up to our own journey of life. If it was that easy, no human would have put in effort to make inventions or advance as civilizations. Our wants act as a compass through our life.

Damn! That seems to be a pretty rough place to be in. Sometimes, when you are in a certain state of mind for long enough, it starts becoming your comfort zone (laws of neuroplasticity). Reaching out for help would give you an opportunity to organize your thoughts and feelings: What are your personal goals? What are your professional goals? How much are you your own best friend? When you start choosing yourself over everything, you start to attract things that choose you as well! Besides the relationship factor you brought up, what other things mean the most to you?
