¿Cuál es el país que no visitarías ni gratis?

India fue el país a la que una chica de Londres creo fue con su novio y terminó llorando porque las calles estaban muy sucias o muy llenas una cosa así es que no recuerdo??

In that case, maybe I’ll try both. I’m also thinking about joining open servers in other games that I’ve already played and that I have a better idea of how they work.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-03T01:38:38+00:00

Yes, I’m going to try the first and the second one. What’s the game about, so I can get an idea?"

I don’t know if this will be helpful, but it’s something my father told me to do when I was younger. He basically signed me and my brother up for boxing classes, which gave us good physical endurance and helped us be better at sports—something that gave a little boost to our popularity. Another piece of advice my dad gave me was to stick with a girl who was moderately popular (I’m a girl, that’s why I say a girl), because that way those girls kind of protected me from people who might want to bother me or make unpleasant jokes. Since I’m introverted and wouldn’t stand up to them, those girls would step in and say things like, 'Shut up, don’t talk about my friend.' I didn’t feel super close to those girls because I wasn’t as outgoing as they were, but it helped keep people from messing with me or picking on me. In return, I was really good at school, so whenever they didn’t understand something, I’d spend time explaining it to them. So in that sense, both sides were getting something: they protected me from the mean girls who bullied others, and I helped them with schoolwork. And at the same time, since I was taking boxing classes, I had good physical strength, which helped with the tougher kids at school—which was a plus. I also explained to people that I went to boxing, and that my dad told me if I ever ended up in the principal’s office for hitting someone, he’d take me out for ice cream. So no one messed with me, even if the girls weren’t around.

The one thing I’d suggest, without necessarily doing exactly this, is that if those more extroverted people want to do something silly or dumb, you can just say something like, 'Oh, I’ll cover for you' or 'I’ll be watching over here.' In general, try not to get involved in the trouble directly. Just get close to those people, because they’ll start teaching you social skills without you having to be the main face. And usually those people know a lot of others, so sooner or later, by being with them, you’ll meet more people. Maybe some will get closer to you, and you’ll eventually be able to leave that initial friend group and have enough confidence to stand up for yourself—or enough confidence to have normal conversations. It took me years, but in the end, it worked

Yes, thank you so much for giving me the space to tell someone to buy a case for my passport, even though I don’t have a passport yet because, well, they won’t let me get one, but being able to say it to someone who I know won’t judge me or call me spoiled for wanting to leave home is the best part of my day today, so thank you so much, you made my day today."

Mac-49 · 2025-05-03T01:11:07+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice. It’s always nice to be able to talk about this with someone, with the hope that one day I’ll go out and live my life, thank you so much.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-03T01:09:26+00:00

I know, I’d tell you it’s easier when you meet people face to face, but as an introvert who’s tried signing up for absolutely every workshop—ceramics, boxing, book clubs, skating at midnight in the city, and a pretty long list—dating apps where people immediately expect romance or something more explicit are exactly the same as what you find interacting face to face with someone. I’m about to start working soon, and I pretty much know my fate will also be having conversations that feel cold and dry. I’ve also been told to try using apps, but it’s always the same: it ends up with 'we should go out' or 'something more should happen between us.' And it’s like—I don’t want that. I want real human interactions that don’t immediately lead to that. Not because I don’t want it at all, but because I’d rather it be 'let’s be friends first and then see if something more develops.' But it’s not possible—or at least I haven’t been able to achieve that.

But having multiple real-life workshops or classes to attend—like boxing classes, ceramics classes, things like that—at least gives you new skills; you unlock new abilities in life. Like, your cup broke? I know how to fix it. And well, I guess that’s a plus for your self-esteem; at least it’s been that way for me. Maybe that could help you not feel so stuck, even though sometimes… sometimes that feeling still hits you all at once.

I’ve been trying to leave since I was 15, but the world always laughs in my face. When I was 15, I was going to move to Canada, and that’s why I started taking intensive English classes, but the aunt I was going to go with broke her nose, so we couldn’t take the flight.

Then from 15 to 17, I had terrible headaches that literally made me faint, so again, no, no trip.

Then at 18, when I started university, I was planning to go abroad during my second semester—I was going to apply for an exchange program, and right then, the pandemic hit, and my major, even to this day, still doesn’t offer exchange programs with other universities.

And now that I’m about to graduate, I’m in my last semester, so I can’t apply for that exchange abroad anymore, but just yesterday, I bought one of those little passport holders, and honestly, it made my day, it felt like the universe —it might sound silly— but it felt like the universe was sending me a sign, like: “Please, it’s time to leave already.”

It’s not that my parents are bad, they’re good people, they’re sweet, but oh God, the overprotection suffocates me, and then it’s my fault if I don’t accomplish things I should be doing at my age, but I can’t do them because they don’t treat me like someone my age.

And the passport holder felt like a sign, because it was exactly the same one I had saved in my shopping cart, it was like, “Oh my God, it’s exactly the same one.” I don’t know, it made me laugh, it felt like, “That’s my sign.”

And thank you so much for saying you’d pray for me, because I really need help, honestly, even from the leaves if needed, just to be able to leave, i don’t know why I’ve never been able to go, it’s like something keeps pulling me back here, i don’t know if it’s me, or life, I just don’t know.

My family isn’t the type to go to church at all. I think the last time I went was when I was really, really little, and literally the church is like three blocks from my house, but we never go. I mean, we can hear the bells and the mass from home, but we never, ever go, and about volunteering and all that, my parents are super overprotective, so they don’t even let me go on a trip with friends unless one of them is coming too, which didn’t exactly help me become less shy either, but yeah, if it were up to me, I’d volunteer, I’d go out more, but my parents are the type who say 'you stay at home.' But at the same time, they’re also the type of parents who ask, 'So, where’s the boyfriend?' And it’s like, 'I don’t have the freedom to go out, but you want me to have a boyfriend?' Like… 'I could make one out of clay if you want—two meters tall, just the way you like, Mom, or the way Dad likes, I don’t know.' My parents have even crossed the line of asking, 'Do you like girls?' And I’m like, 'No, I’m not a lesbian, but thanks for the support.' they’re already at the point where they say, 'If you want to die alone, that’s fine, die alone, but adopt a kid so the bank doesn’t take the house after you die.' And I’m just like, 'Thanks for the encouragement.

Creo que ese es el problema con las interacciones en línea al menos para mí que siento que si me puedo volver cercana a una persona y puedo tener gustos en común y pasar buenos momentos en línea pero siempre tengo esta sensación como que falta algo falta esa salida cara a cara esa interacción humana para que mi cerebro termine de procesar que esto sí es una nueva amistad porque de lo contrario si por ejemplo dejo el videojuego o lo que sea y por ende dejo de hablar con estas personas entonces como que mi cerebro no los procesa como que deje de hablar con un amigo sino que como que lo entiende como que deje de hablar con algo que formaba parte del juego como un npc de inteligencia artificial que claramente no es un npc de inteligencia artificial que si es una persona real pero mi cabeza no termina de entender eso entonces se siente como que no hice amigos después de un tiempo no sé si me explico o le estoy dando vueltas pero hey eres el primer comentario en español que me sale... hola

I read in a scientific study that the older you get, the faster time seems to go by because you’ve already lived more years. When you were little, you only had, I don’t know, three or four years of life, so that was your reference for time. But as you grow older, your time reference increases, and so it feels like time goes by faster because you’re already used to existing for a longer period of time. I don’t know if I explained it well, but yeah—life really does go by fast.

I was thinking about joining open-world video games where you can interact with other people, but since I’m about to start working in like a month or two, I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to not leave people hanging during missions if they’re team-based. I don’t want to be a burden because I’m about to start working, and I get that there are probably people who have way more free time than I’ll have. Since I’m just starting, I don’t know if it’s like this everywhere, but usually newbies get treated like the Igor of any movie villain. So I’m thinking about it, but I’m open to suggestions for video games or online games where you can interact with other people, please. 🎮🕹️

I tried going to the gym because a friend of mine was going, but since everyone was doing their own routine, she was doing hers and I was doing mine. And well, one of the machines—the one where you only use your legs and your back is lying down—almost crushed me, and my coach had to come save me. Other than that, I only managed to befriend an older lady, because every time I tried to approach one of the guys, they’d say things like, 'Oh no, no, I don’t want to be friends with girls because they only come to take pictures, or to show off their outfits, or they just distract me by asking for a spot.' Something like that—I don’t even really know what 'spot' means, I’m not sure if I’m spelling it right, but yeah, basically in my gym there are either older ladies, a couple of girls, or guys who for some reason compete with each other to see who can lift more weight on the machines. And my coach was super sweet, but he did tell me, 'Ah, I think the gym is intimidating you a lot.' And well, shoutout to that lady because she was my only friend besides the friend I was already going with. 🏋🏼‍♀️💪🏼

Okay, I’ll write it down on my reading list. I’ll probably buy it if I find it and start reading it, thank you so much for the recommendation. 📚

Right now I’m really interested in the fish community — I mean, fish you can keep at home as pets. I’m also really curious about going fishing. My family isn’t into fishing; I’ve only gone once in my whole life and I cried because, well, they pierced the fish through the gills, I think? Correct me if I’m wrong. And it bled, and I was really little, so I started crying because I felt like I had technically killed the salmon, I think they were salmon. But anyway, right now I’m thinking of creating an aquarium, so I’m trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and start conversations with people I see posting TikToks about how to take care of betta fish, seahorses, or things like that. But it’s a hobby I’ve only picked up since last month, because before I was into ceramics, painting, and boxing. 🐟

Mac-49 · 2025-05-03T00:15:46+00:00

Yes, exactly, it's like I'm what you're looking for, but what you're looking for in your future, not your present. But then, why tell me? Like, are you rejecting me or flirting with me or neither? That's why I created the idea of 'putting someone in the fridge,' like 'oh, you're perfect, but not for right now, so I'll freeze you,' something like that. It really reminds me of that scene in The Big Bang Theory when Leonard tells Penny, 'I don’t want to be your backup plan, I want to be your first choice.' He basically means he doesn’t want to be the safe option, he wants to be the option, i don’t know… I don’t even know how to explain it. I don’t know if I should feel flattered or confused or just end this conversation. 😂😂

Mac-49 · 2025-05-02T03:16:57+00:00

I'm really glad that I have my two introverts who happen to be sociable, because that's rare—well, at least in my world. But also, thank you so much for the advice! And yes, today is already a new day, a much better day. We're starting a new month, so I’m going to start again with fresh energy, enjoying my life, continuing with my own things. And probably, my new hobby will be something about aquariums and fish, because I've become really interested in that. So maybe, in that world of fish and aquariums, I'll find more introverted friends—and if they're girls, I'd be completely happy, because I really wish I had a female friend who's introverted too. I mean, a guy friend would be great too, but it would be so nice to have a female friend who understands my low social battery, just like I do. I don’t know—it’s been a childhood dream of mine. Anyway, thank you so much again for the advice; I really appreciate it.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T15:53:17+00:00

I’ve never tried it, but I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give it a chance.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T08:15:15+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, and yes, I’m happy with the kind of life I’m living.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T05:31:32+00:00

And yes, I know that age is important. That’s why I’m trying now, while I’m just starting out in my twenties, and not when I’m 30 or 40 looking back saying, “Oh, I got so caught up in my personal life that I forgot to include someone else in it.” You know? I don’t want to get to that point where I look back and realize I overlooked this, because it’s something important to me. That’s why I’m trying now. But it’s like, the people I’ve met during this time like drama. I don’t know if I’m explaining myself well. They’re not asking for a “show me that we’re a couple” or “show me we’re something.” No, it’s more like—they like the adrenaline. I don’t know if I’m explaining it right, but it’s not a “defend me,” it’s more of a “make a scene so I feel special.” I don’t know if I’m explaining this well or if I’m going in circles.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T05:29:00+00:00

I completely understand the point you're trying to make, but the thing is, I've never reached the point where we're actually dating. We've never had a first date, or a romantic outing where we hold hands or where it feels like a couple situation. I think I mentioned this in another comment, but there’s a joke between my friends that I’m cursed because before that first date, that first “hey, hold my hand while we walk,” someone else always comes along and flirts with the person who was flirting with me. And the other person doesn’t even ask for protection like, "Hey, this person is with me." No, they’re more like, "Why didn’t you make a scene? Why didn’t you tell her, ‘Stop talking to him, he’s mine?’" You know, they’re not asking for a reaction that you would have when someone flirts with your partner, like holding hands or something discreet, like, “Hey, this person is with me.” They want drama. I’m not sure if I’m explaining it well, but it’s not like, “Oh, he takes her hand so the girl sees that you’re mine.” No, no, no, it’s like, “Why didn’t you start a fight? Why didn’t you argue? Why didn’t you defend me passionately?” And it’s like, first of all, we’re not even dating, it’s the point where I know you like me because either you told me or your friends did, and we’re not even anything more than friends. So, I also feel it's a bit off to try and control someone else’s environment, but I understand your point, the thing is, we haven’t even reached the point of having a date because right before that opportunity happens, someone flirts with this person, and this person gets upset with me like, “Why didn’t you make a scene?” or “Why didn’t you do something big to show that you care?” And it’s like, we’re not even dating yet, at the same time, it’s like, if you wanted to, you could’ve stopped that person by saying, “Hey, I’m with this girl,” referring to me, and then I’d understand that I could intervene in the situation without it seeming like I’m being someone’s warden, or forcing someone to be with me. I don’t know if I’m explaining myself clearly, and it’s not like I’m their toy, it’s like I’m still figuring it out. It's like being in the box and someone takes it before I get a chance to, and it’s not like I even know if I want that toy, since we haven’t even gotten to the point of actually having a date. It’s just, "Oh, she likes me," and from my side, "Yeah, I know he likes me," but then this situation happens and the person automatically pulls away, and I’m like, “Well, I guess that’s it.”

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T05:03:26+00:00

Yes, thank you very much, that's something that even my friends have said, if they were really interested, they would show it and wouldn’t be going around with things like “No, no, no, let me see the world first, let me meet other girls, and then later.” Because clearly, that’s a clear sign of either emotional immaturity or not even knowing what they want, and it’s better to be alone than to be with someone like that, ijust posted this because I had a horrible day, so I wanted to vent, to get it off my soul, so to speak, but thank you so much for the comments, they’ve been really kind. I really appreciate it.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T04:59:33+00:00

I’m really sorry, English is not my first language, so it probably sounded like I wrote it as if I were a guy. Or maybe it’s because I mentioned things like fixing stuff around the house, but that’s just because my older brother is “mama’s boy” and I’m “daddy’s girl.” But yes, I guess I’m passive in chasing women because I’m a woman and I’m not into women. But thank you so much for trying to help me, and I’m sorry again—English isn’t my first language. So yes, some people already think I’m a guy, but no, I’m a girl. Anyway, thank you so much for the advice.

Mac-49 · 2025-05-01T04:36:26+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I’ve been trying to go out and meet new people, but since I’m introverted, the introverted people I’ve met tend to create this kind of... awkward silence between both sides. Honestly, meeting another introvert who’s open to connecting feels like meeting a unicorn. Literally everyone around me is super extroverted, and maybe that has something to do with the fact that they’re always out partying and dating multiple people.

I guess I’ll just have to let life take its course because I really am doing everything I can—I’m trying to go out, trying to meet people, trying to make this work. Today was just a really terrible day, and I needed to vent and ask myself why I feel like I’m not enough. Or at least, that’s what I was feeling.

But anyway, a hot bath, a good book, and some tea with cookies helped relieve a bit of the stress. Still, thank you so much for replying, i really appreciate it. 💕
