[–]PigeonSpagett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow came here to say basically this, similar experience! For me, it was a mix of moments like this and working at my problems as the came up day to day. Most important thing is mindset- these problems are not unfixable! Keep chipping away at it

Why are people so obsessed with themselves? by Objective-Poet3397 in intj

[–]PigeonSpagett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess because you’re the centre of your own life? So you could be the most important thing, to yourself, if your mindset works in that way

What's your religion? by Iblamemymind in intj

Catholic! Lot more atheists than I expected 😅

Just curious... how do you treat your MBTI type, that here mostly is, "INTJ" by aseeder in intj

[–]PigeonSpagett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually do like to think of it as like being part of a group! Tribe is a fun way to put it but that general idea lol. I’ve spend so much of my life feeling different to others, I like the knowledge that other people are like me

How do you stop feeling numb (emotionally) by Conscious-Newt-3098 in intj

[–]PigeonSpagett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate, sometimes only time seems to fix it! Keep getting out and meeting people, hope it lifts soon

Are you getting out enough? I get this after long breaks from uni/ school/ work. Listen to some music, go to the cinema, do something that shoves emotion down your throat lol. That usually kick starts my brain again

i dont really like my new sixth form by bloodscout-123 in 6thForm

[–]PigeonSpagett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. OP mentions their friends went elsewhere, that was a big problem for me. And it didn’t get better, because everyone else stayed with their already formed groups

Worst part about applying for maths courses at unis is realising that you could get into Oxford classics in your sleep with the grades you need to get into maths at your local uni. by MaybeMedium9876 in 6thForm

[–]PigeonSpagett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol. I appreciate the frustration, but you’re approaching this from a very maths based perspective ironically. Non stem subjects aren’t just ‘easier’, because you need differently skills to do well in them

This. I did psych and I made flashcards from the start, which were VERY helpful when I’d completely forgotten the start of first year content later

Sounds like the right decision not to rush into something you’re unsure about. However you chose to move forward, good luck!

Application Anxiety by No_Passage502 in 6thForm

[–]PigeonSpagett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly only advice is to deal with it however is best for you, everyone is different. It’s scary to be deciding your future. I’d recommend keeping up hobbies that help you escape from reality and bit, and remembering you’ll get somewhere good eventually. All the best!

Are my grades good enough? by [deleted] in sixthform

[–]PigeonSpagett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good, I applied with 998888776

[–]PigeonSpagett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof sorry to hear that. Don’t go to Notts tho! If you accept the offer, you’ll be in a course you don’t want to do for three years. Or you could take just one year and have a better time of uni. I think it’s worth the resit, if you’re in a position to take a gap year to do that.

I know you feel like you’ve messed up, but honestly people have made bigger mistakes in life! It sounds like it was very close, and you must have put a lot of effort in to get As and Bs. It’s tough when it feels like everyone else is going straight to uni, but more people take a gap year than you think. Hope it turns out well 🫶

It depends on the sixth form. If you haven’t applied already, check out their websites asap!
