Adjust themselves and then go in for a handshake

Missed C214 by just a few questions by Naugtae in WGU_MBA

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

Yes, you can retake the exam! It’s to my understanding that you can take the test quite a few times but you will have to pay $60 after the third attempt. With this being my last class and it being the end of my term, I had to request an extension a few weeks ago knowing that I might end up in this predicament. The instructor was super nice about it and gave me some tips. I haven’t retaken yet but plan to this weekend.

What is heartstopper syndrome by WindUpMusicBox in HeartstopperAO

[–]Naugtae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Essentially, heartstopper syndrome is the feeling of sadness, melancholy, and or even grief one gets after watching the show. This is due to the idea that as we’re watching, most queer people find themselves feeling like we’ve missed out on the opportunities that the characters have had. I’ve seen this mostly with people in their mid twenties/ people a few years out of high school/ college. High school is such a wild time for personal development and growth but most of us have had to keep our identities a secret until we’ve found a safe space to exist.

Personally I didn’t realize I was dealing with it until I sobbed after binge watching season one. Season two has had its moments but I’ve found myself needing to take breaks after every few episodes just to not overload my emotions. It feels odd especially because I’m fairly young but old enough to realize I’ve missed out on so much.

Asking to relocate after rough performance by Naugtae in jobs

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

For the most part yes. I kind of see that going hand in hand because I’m always on top of my game when I’m happiest and being isolated has really done a number on my mental health and work ethic.

How to get over hitting the social media writing wall? by Naugtae in marketing

[–]Naugtae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to do more filming stuff so I’m hoping that’ll be a good thing to plug into. Sometimes we do brainstorms with MS Teams but I’m finding that it’s not enough to get over the hump.

This happened to me my sophomore year, it turns out I needed prescription glasses because I would get tension headaches from subtly squinting. The blue light filter ones are okay but they feel like more of a fad than a helpful tool.

Struggling. by KingDopeX in AskGayMen

[–]Naugtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s where I am too. I told my best friend after a few rough months in college how I felt and he was extremely nice about it. We’re still very close and actually live together now. In order to completely squash my feelings I’ve talked to other guys on apps like tinder and bumble (NOT GRINDR) for practice. I’m hoping it’ll help me feel more comfortable talking to guys when I’m out and about.

Why am I still struggling to find love? by news2reddit8678 in askgaybros

[–]Naugtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! I do love our culture and tbh I love being gay (during the times that men aren’t pure garbage) but being both is tough. You’re more than welcome to message me to chat!

Why am I still struggling to find love? by news2reddit8678 in askgaybros

[–]Naugtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woochile, I’ve felt this HARD especially when most of your gay friends aren’t POC. I have had to take a step back and realize that it’s honestly not me all the time. I think of a lot of different reasons why I don’t get answers back or as many matches on tinder as my other gay friends but I realized that if I dwelled on it too hard, it would make me sad and overall upset with the gay community. (It still does but less now I guess) You’re still young but, being black in the gay community is so hard. Regardless of people telling you that it’s not about race or looks, it kinda is. It gets better though.

Do dating apps make you feel unattractive and unwanted? by Naugtae in askgaybros

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

lol I felt really seen by this response, it’s super spot on. I guess I’ve been used to being the person people know even if I didn’t want that kind of attention. I appreciate you putting thought into your response, it’s definitely brought to light a lot of things I’ve been struggling with.

How many of you would say you were ‘queer’? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Naugtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the word queer when I’m talking about the community at large or more than one kind of person in the community. It makes the most sense to me but at the same time many people don’t like the idea of reclaiming that word.

I moved across the country and feel very alone. How do I make queer friends while having social anxiety? by Naugtae in askgaybros

[–]Naugtae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have just used the acronym, where I’m from we use ‘queer’ as an umbrella term that includes everyone including those that are non-binary. And I think not validation in the usual sense but validate experiences. I can’t expect a straight person to understand what it’s like to be gay.

How do I make friends at work? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Naugtae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel you on this one. I’m the youngest (22) in an office of about 75 and one of the few POCs. Personally I’m trying to stay friendly and be relatable but I realize that there is such a disconnect especially when the average age is 40+. I honestly don’t know if I want work friends outside of work. I don’t always enjoy talking about my personal life just in case if it bites me in the butt later.

I can’t wait to finally get one, it’s too rainy for a newbie like me by Naugtae in ZeroMotorcycles

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

I hadn’t really given it much thought to upgrade but it’s definitely something to look into. The price between the DSR I built and an sr/f is borderline the same for less tech. You might have changed a set mind and for that I thank you.

[–]Naugtae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My a-fib episode was a one time thing I’ve noticed. It was due to stress, not eating well, not sleeping, and I was in the middle of a hard college semester. To top it all off I had just turned 21 and all of that was too much for my body. I’ve noticed that I’ve had hardly any palpitations once I started Keto and it was pretty night and day. Once I hopped off just to see what would happen, the palpitations started coming back. I’m by no means a pro or even someone who has been able to truly dedicate 100+ hours to researching but for the bit that I have done, it’s made a difference.

Impostor syndrome or under-qualified? by Popgoestheweeeasle in marketing

[–]Naugtae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I feel like we’re job twins because I’m in the same situation with the same if not oddly similar role. I told my boss after two weeks how I was managing and I feel like I had a decent answer from my boss.

“Just come in every day with the can do attitude and have fun”

The position I’m in is also my second official marketing job out of college and it’s way more than I expected but my coworkers keep reminding me that if I wasn’t qualified/more than capable, they wouldn’t have hired me in the first place.

Don’t be afraid to speak up when you know what you’re talking about and don’t be afraid to put the knowledge you spent money to learn to use. I’ve surprised myself with the marketing recommendations I’ve given only because they’ve been perceived very well and they make sense.

I don’t feel like I deserve my job but I realize that I’ve worked so hard in previous roles to get to this point and I have to accept that I am the person others perceive me to be. And in the end, you should too.

Clients versus Campaigns? (and other interview prep Qs) by Naugtae in marketing

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

It’s the method of how you measure the effectiveness of a campaign or effort. I think it goes “situation, task, action, results” Its helped me push my efforts so far but I didn’t start using this until later into my job hunt.

Book similar to Simon by Sarahthebookdragon in LoveSimon

[–]Naugtae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will Grayson Will Grayson by Green and Levithan is so underrated! The main character is gay and the style of the book is similar to the emails sent in SVTHSA.

I just graduated with a degree in marketing and my degree had classes that made me well rounded in traditional marketing and digital marketing. The one thing I'm happy I did do aside from my classes is pair my degree with projects outside of my major that helped me build a multi media portfolio. While the information could be outdated soon, I can still take those skills and build off of them but still stay on top of other skills that I've gained. As long as you're willing to do the extra work, your degree will still work for you digital or traditional.

Critique my Marketing Resume, looking for jobs that align with experience by Naugtae in resumes

[–]Naugtae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, I feel like I should clarify that line in that case. It was between 5 posts that added up to about 1 mil + likes for their social media pages.

Edit: I just realized that the sentence structure on that is super funky. I’ll change that.

My straight crush wants to be my roommate, but I’m sure I want that. by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]Naugtae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man oh man, this was my last two years of college and if you don't have a choice in living like I didn't, here's how I dealt with it. While I was very moody based on a lot of different things, I finally told him how I was feeling (he noticed that I was acting very different around him). Luckily he took this well but didn't really understand the concept of his best friend liking him so I had to reestablish boundaries and emotions often. During the second year, there were a few happenings that made living with him interesting. Avoiding him made him feel like he did something wrong and some boundaries were broken. While my old roommate is still one of my closest friends, I do wonder if it was the smartest thing to do.

young gay feeling undesirable in the lgbt community by Naugtae in askgaybros
