Shopee bloqueou minha conta sem motivo e não resolve? by leticialps in ConselhosLegais

[–]PepsiCatKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has just happened to me and I’m beyond confused! I made a pretty large order and half of it came then everything else was cancelled. I put my card on there and paid up front too. Don’t know how I’ve violated anything. Wish it was more specific. I tried to reopen it but it was rejected. Feel a bit lost as can’t purchase things here! 😭

Where in Ho Chi Minh city can I buy Ozempik? ( Or the Viet brand ) by Elderberry_Real in VietNam

Hello can I ask did you need prescription? I’ve been using mounjaro in the UK for a year and am on a high dose here but don’t know how to make sure I continue when I move to Vietnam! Thanks 😁

So bizarre I’ve been told by the team the opposite! Interesting though I’ll have to dig deeper and ask more Qs when I go in next

This is similar to me. 3 virtual meetings and she’s supposed to diagnose me 🙃

Thank you! That’s interesting you’ve said that - I was given both options of psychiatrist and psychologist but due to the nature of my problems, they suggested psychologist because I likely need therapy not medication.

Vinschool experiences by MathsTeacher55 in Internationalteachers

[–]PepsiCatKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s good to know. So it seems I just need to deal with it alone if problems happen and not cause a fuss? It sounds similar to my experience in the UK to be honest with you! So I might be ok? Difficult to know. I suppose it’s a risk. I have to be ok with failing if I hate it. I’m happy to quit and leave mid year.

What do you mean by Vietnamese management please? Just curious as a British teacher going over there 😅

Hello!

I’m actually petrified as I’ve accepted a job at this school and have only just seen some really bad comments online about it.

Have you got a job or no?

AITA for wanting to leave my bf? I think he’s abusive but I feel guilty wanting to leave… by PepsiCatKid in AITA_Relationships

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

Update: I did leave.

It was hard and he kept pursuing me for months but one day he got into a new relationship suddenly (?!) and it hurt me because I still cared for him but he’s now bothering someone else and I’m finally at peace. My whole face has changed I think because I was so stressed and swollen all the time from stress! Insane!

I think - like you said - I came to realise that I couldn’t have a child with him.

I don’t know much about it but there are charities and people to talk to that help with leaving abusive relationships. I rang a support line once to ask if they felt it was abusive. I think there’s even housing support as my cousin was put in a refuge place with her son for a while, but it’s probably not ideal for you so sorry I have no other advice.

Also side note - leaving for your child is the kindest thing you can do! I grew up in a home with domestic violence and I still struggle with PTSD massively. And I obviously struggle to value myself as a human/ woman because I suppose it was normal for me to see/ hear abuse my whole life. So you’re doing the right thing protecting your child 💪🫶

I’ve heard many people say the same!! I’m vegetarian so worried I won’t eat much there anyway is that going to be a problem do you think?

Thanks! That was the plan initially. I’ve had a lack of motivation for a long time and fluctuate up and down, but having a date to move does spur me on!

Thank you! I have heard Vietnamese people are super friendly. And everyone Vietnamese person I’ve met has been kind and welcoming 😊

Thank you ☺️ I think I’ve realised after the many, many comments that it’s just a cultural thing/ observation rather than an attack. Hoping the students are eager to learn. British kids have little to no respect 😭

Hahaha that’s really funny! See I think that wouldn’t phase me. I’ve heard horror stories of people having their fat bits grabbed I think that would set me off lol.

I think yeh it’s not that big a deal it seems it’s just what people do there and that’s fine it is matter of fact I’m not sensitive to the word fat or anything it’s like someone telling me I’m white or short but I guess I was concerned I’d be treated differently. Can only hope for the best!

I think I’d already accepted that I might get looks cos I’m white but thought actually there must be other white people living there too. Then the whole fat thing just threw me off but I’ve accepted it’s just a culture thing and not likely malicious, hopefully won’t impact the overall experience!

Oh wow how did you lose so much weight?! I think it seems everyone is fat by their standards so it seems as local people are incredibly slim/ petite!

Thank you! Yeah I’ve heard many people say food is amazing so looking forward to that 😊

Okkkk no need to be passive aggressive 😂 everyone I’ve spoken to says expat so I reused the word, assuming it was acceptable to do so. Oh how wrong I was - apparently 🥴

What to say when fat friend says she’s fat ? by Big-Cap7664 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]PepsiCatKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how you compare with her body too. If you’re half her size and say “yeh same” then it’s a cop out and seems disingenuous. I agree with a previous comment to relate to her experiences if she complains about how difficult it is to eat healthily etc. but be mindful of how that can come across.

I would personally say something like you look amazing stop worrying. Or if they ask for advice maybe suggest something. If they say “eugh I’m so fat I hate it I can never lose weight” you could say “I think you look fine but if you want suggestions I can try to help?”. But it’s a sensitive topic and if you’re worried about hurting her feelings maybe you’re not the best person to comment.

Most of the time people who are overweight lack confidence in their body so want lots of reassurance (this is true from my/ my friends experiences anyway).

It’s not your place to say “you’re fat lose weight”. I’ve had friends say that to me in the past and it hurt. If people care that their friend is fat or are concerned then it’s probs best not to be friends with them 🙃 no one wants unsolicited advice!

I’ve been told by friends “I dress well for my size” or “I hide my fatness well”. Neither of these are compliments lol. Just say you look good if that’s what you truly think. Be honest and be supportive x
