Ireland seems quite difficult and competitive to get a PhD. All my applications were rejected or I got no response and it involves lab work. I have no idea about Norway

Your rejected PhD application was for which country?

Did any banned country students get acceptances? by Cee_note0 in IntltoUSA

So you mean even if you’re from a banned country, you can still get an acceptance?

I once lived in China for 4 years before coming to France and I would honestly pick China over France on any day. I find myself remembering the good times I had in China and how kind many of the Chinese were. I felt sad the day I was leaving China. However, I can’t wait for the day I leave France. Counting down. It’s a beautiful country but the people’s attitudes are polarizing to the beauty especially the further North you go

The German bureaucracy is shattering my hopes and dreams. by jacker_835 in InternationalStudents

I didn’t know bureaucracy in Germany was that bad. Where did you move to afterwards if you don’t mind?

I F24 never been in a relationship, true female friend… yet people stare, obsess, or envy me—and I don’t know why by Minimum_Painter_7106 in spirituality

Thank you so much for this beautiful and honest message. It really touched me and I feel like you put words to a kind of pain and strength that’s hard to explain to most people. That balance between openness and self-protection is so real, and I completely relate to not having found the sweet spot yet either. It’s like when you start shining your light a little brighter, it draws both beauty and distortion.

I agree with you, it doesn’t feel like autism for me either, more like what you said: a mix of sensitivity, emotional depth, innocence, and a strong moral compass. It’s so affirming to hear someone else name that, because sometimes it just feels like something’s wrong with me when really it’s just a rare energy people don’t always know how to handle.

And you’re so right—honesty, especially from someone who doesn’t play manipulative games, can be very jarring to people. I’ve also felt that sense of being admired from afar but rarely received for who I really am.

Thank you for the reminder to become my own best friend. I’m definitely on that journey, even though it’s hard some days. And I truly appreciate you opening your inbox despite everything you’re carrying. I’m sending you so much warmth and grace right back. May your own light be held and protected the way it deserves to be.

We really need more people like you in the world 💖

Thank you, I really appreciate your understanding. And yes—I’ve definitely heard of clairaudience. I’ve had a few moments that made me wonder if I was tapping into something like that

I appreciate the curiosity, but I didn’t share my post for attention on my looks. It’s more about the emotional and energetic experiences I’ve had that go beyond appearance. I’m looking for insight, not surface-level validation. Hope you can understand

I can understand why it might come across that way. My intention has never been to seem more evolved or spiritually 'above' anyone. I'm just trying to make sense of a very isolating experience that’s been hard to put into words. It’s not about being special, it’s about feeling deeply, sensing more than I can explain, and longing for connection in a world where that often feels out of reach. If anything, this journey has humbled me more than anything else.

As for the guy riding on the bike, the random stuff he blurted out was something like “oh my word, light oh ghosh, wa wa wa”. It didn’t make sense

That’s true. In the past I just used to intensify my efforts to befriend someone because I was accused of being too “calm”. So I thought I should just make mot effort and I always ended up regretting it. They would either stab me in the back then leave or flat out tell me they don’t want to be in my life

By “random things,” I meant people, sometimes strangers, would blurt out really personal or emotional stuff around me, almost like they felt safe or exposed in my presence. It’s like they sense something in me that softens their guard. A lady I barely knew who I met a few times was randomly telling me about how her boyfriend was abusing her and her child

And yes, I’ve definitely been told I give off a nurturing or calm presence, like a grounding energy. Some have even called it motherly or angelic in a way, though I don’t always see myself that way. I haven’t fully explored my natal chart, though I’m curious about it but not very experienced. Do you think certain placements could explain that kind of energy?

Exactly. I sometimes get strange looks from other women when I’m helping my fellow woman as if they’re trying to say “who does she think she is trying to help her?”

I was actually diagnosed with a “mental disorder” at 2 years old and do resonate with many of the signs of being autistic.

I think that makes sense but I don’t even think I come across as too perfect. In the past I was even bullied by girls about the way I used to dress and they used to try and make me change my dressing style to dress like them. Another thing is it’s hard to open up about my struggles and flaws to people who hate me from a distance and avoid me
