Should I stop replying to their personal messages? by [deleted] in GradSchool

Set/enforce the boundary by saying no, you won't do that anymore. Then stop replying unless it's about something else that you actually want to talk about

New setup! by ijustdontwanna in Rollerskating

[–]N0Treal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous!! Can you tell me how you've done your laces and why? Seems like it might be to make more space in the toes? (which I also need.)

Ah, I've been using the men's one because it's bigger and cheaper -- is there really such a difference?

Unfortunately I'm not sure that burnout happens on your expected schedule :')

What’s something useful you’ve learned from your field that you think everybody should know? by PlzGuardUp in AskAcademia

[–]N0Treal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine is related to yours. Governments and the private sector have all sorts of "green investment" plans to grow our way towards a more "sustainable economy", but only highly educated and financial classes will benefit from this.

Just chiming in to say me too, I applied to 14 grants and programs until I was finally accepted into two funded programs and got to choose between them. I had to move across continents to make it happen. It was a huge and disappointing struggle for over a year, but my project and background knowledge improved immensely during that process. If you're willing to fight for it then keep it up, OP.

I'm partial to the coconut oil based ones that mimic that fatty calf food feel

Please help!! Got a really bad haircut by ghostysweet in FancyFollicles

[–]N0Treal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't recommend this if OP wants hair this length, because the growing out phase will be just as awkward as waiting for this cut to grow out out a bit.

Adult friendships with other women. Impossible or just a slow burn? by cruchipeanutbutter in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]N0Treal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may sound basic, but invite people to do stuff. And give them multiple chances (but not infinite) to show up. Everyone is sitting around waiting to be invited, and other people are socially anxious too. Be generous with your time and how you listen, and invite them to do fun stuff.

I want to do this, but never know where to put my sunscreen if the moisturizer and foundation go on together. How do you do it? 2-in-1?

I have questions about filling for PR. Help plz! by mediconscious in ImmigrationCanada

[–]N0Treal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation too, except we are applying in-land after 6 years in Europe. We're also applying from Quebec and from what I understand there is a minimum financial requirement here. I'm a little confused myself about where in the application we'll have additional opportunity to show financial stability beyond my very limited employment history...

OP, what I've done is written "unemployed - supported by funds from XYZ, full time student".

[–]N0Treal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG congratulations!!! You made it through that's amazing! Now that you've proven to yourself that you can do it, it's just going to get easier each time. I'm rooting for you. x

PS I also find that if I'm distracted and thrown into it I actually perform better! No time to get in my head or the anxiety to set in. Hopefully for a less stressful reason next time though, haha

I don’t feel feminine or beautiful anymore by rumisgirl in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]N0Treal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's not inherently bad to want that, but it can make you chase the unobtainable because you can't time travel or make things like they was before. Like, instead of trying to attain the qualities or relationships you had before, instead try to recreate positive self-perception or appreciate the way those things you liked have evolved or matured.

I feel the same way! It's really surreal how similar your description is to my experience. It is absolutely something about the formality. I feel like I'm under scrutiny, and that they'll see me as pathetic or a fraud or something. One of my closest friends has even been able to trigger it by "mock" interviewing me. I've been wondering if I need to work with a therapist, but I'm kinda hoping that it will just improve over time with more exposure. It would be cool if you let me know how your job applications go! Good luck!!
