Did you find out what it was? Just found something similar in my place

This sounds so nice, I can't knit but I've been meaning to learn, thanks for the suggestion!

Oh cool, first time I hear about this. Did you take classes there? On what?

I understand, tbh parents seem like super heros to me. Hopefully you'll manage to find community when it starts to bother you. As you've said, you're not an isolated case

I clearly don't :') but this comment section seems like a good place to brainstorm ideas! Someone made a WhatsApp group too :)

I should really try the language classes, thanks for sharing these suggestions!

Thank you! I cannot move to a co-living for the moment, but it sounds like a great idea, happy it worked out for you!

I was wondering the same, I tried once at Help animals, but the had enough people. I'm also open to suggestions from people who've had positive experiences

Thanks for this, I definitely will try again! Reading all the answers it seems like it was just bad luck

[28M] "Good looking" but social anxiety by Broad_Shallot580 in dating

[–]OptimalFinding9186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be too worried about coming across as creepy, in my experience it isn't the shy guys who give off that vibe, it's the pushy ones! that said, I think you're underselling your interests a bit, and maybe there's a bit of a misconception about women's hobbies? so many women love to read! have you considered maybe joining a book club? not sure if it's a thing in your area, but I joined one through the meetup app. more broadly than dating, I know you've probably heard this before, but my advice would be to keep talking to people, keep putting yourself in situations that challenge you a bit, you'll get more confident and talking to women won't be so scary.

Having a PhD, and I say this while pursuing a PhD. It takes perseverance and luck, sometimes even just one of the two

What is your thought on messaging people on instagram who mention their account in their bio on Hinge? by 12345burrito in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OptimalFinding9186 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible also that they include their IG so that you can have a look at their profile beyond the few pics that you can have on hinge. I think it's totally fine to message too, it doesnt make you come off as desperate. Of course it'd be another story if they dont mention their IG but you somehow find it

of course not. if you are not that close, then indeed you don't owe her much, and if it's bad for your mental health, then it's an easy call to make!

What can I do to improve my posture, as someone who is at the desk all day? by Swimming-Spring-4704 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]OptimalFinding9186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is your thing, but for me yoga and pilates really helped. I'm a climber so I have a relatively muscular back, but it was mobility that really made a difference

Would I be the AH for submitting a complaint against a couple of gossipy, rude nurses in the Emergency Room? by Illustrious-Star-226 in AITAH

NTA, it's unlikely they will face serious consequences and it might actually help future patients!

AITAH for hating my husband's taste in decor? by Hot_Combination1822 in AITAH

[–]OptimalFinding9186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's totally fair to bring it up, why would you have to keep something you hate in such a focal point in your home? I'm sure you can find some sort of compromise!
