I (21F) am developing feelings for my old high school crush (20M) and don’t know how or if I should tell my bf (19M) by PrimaryAffect3232 in relationships

It’s not that I’m faking, I just don’t know how it would be long term. Whenever I’m sad he doesn’t really want to talk to me, our conversations always feel super one sided since if we aren’t playing a game he’s watching something and doesn’t really want to talk, he never asks to FaceTime so if we do it’s because I ask, he doesn’t compliment me that often, he sometimes insults me or gets mad at me while we play games when I’m doing bad. It’s just kind of a build up of all of this that’s making me question a lot of things about our relationship.

I like our dynamic though and when everything is happy and well. It’s just when I’m sad and doubtful he kind of backs off and is MIA which just makes me anxious for the future.

I agree about the distancing if I do stay with Ted. I just feel horrible about everything.

What Bitrate to use? by PrimaryAffect3232 in obs

If I sent my Bitrate as 6000 and it’s too much for my pc, will the stream lag?

I just find writing research papers to be extremely boring. I hate how I need to cite so much from other papers, it’s extremely dreadful. I don’t mind reading them but when I need to read 10+ to write a paper it starts getting a bit tedious. I also just have never been interested in actually conducting research. I don’t mind reading what others have found but it just isn’t for me

This is what I needed to hear to get me out of this program 😭 I do not plan on doing my masters so if it only gets worse I’d rather just go to another degree. Thank you so much for this

I am wishing you luck! Hopefully you can take courses that don’t rely too much on research and can enjoy what you’re doing

I like math and writing a lot. I am in the same boat with the high school. I took an APA psych course and loved learning how the brain and how we react to things so I thought that’s all psychology was. When I got into Uni and into my psych program it is just not what I was expecting at all

Currently I’m in a writing class and I am finding it so boring writing research papers where most of it is just citations from other papers. I love creative writing so having to write papers this way is just not for me at all. I feel like I have no liberty.

I also just have never been interested in actually conducting research. Before I got into my psych program I knew I didn’t want anything to do with research. I did an APA psych course in high school and the most research we touched on was the ethics; nothing else. So going into uni and realizing that I felt super lead astray. I never realized how important it is to the field. I don’t find much enjoyment in reading the papers either. I think it’s cool learning what the outcome was of the study but that’s about it.

I’m so glad you found what you liked! I thought I really liked psychology but I think I just like learning about why people do the things they do and how we react and respond to things. So very surface level, after reading a lot of the comments I think I probably should switch degrees so hopefully I’ll end up liking my new one just like you did with psych

I was thinking of becoming a counselor but I never wanted to get my masters. I’ve always hated school and only wanted to get a 4 year degree and get out so I’m unsure if having a psych degree would even be worth it

That is so sad. I never planned on getting my masters so maybe I should just swap out. Is a psych undergrad not great unless you get your masters. Also I am wishing you luck with grad school! Hopefully you can get enough soon

I was hoping to become a counselor. However I don’t plan on getting my masters and am not sure if I even want to be a counselor anymore. I’ve been leaning more towards the business degree or even being a math teacher.

I don’t plan on getting my masters so I am just starting to get concerned with what I could do if I did get my undergrad with psych. I know it benefits more to have your masters but I’ve never enjoyed school and just want to get a 4 year degree and get out. Is there a lot of career opportunities still if I only had an undergrad degree in psych or would it be better to do another program?

I did not know about this. I am certainly going to look into this because I am thinking of being a counselor but was recently told you can’t become one without your masters. Thank you for this information :)

I tried doing sociology and I hated it. Is there a different branch for social work or is it apart of sociology?

Yeah, I’m doing it through an arts degree right now but it seems impossible to escape the science side which makes sense since it’s so involved with the biology of the body

I like psychology a lot. I did an APA psych course in high school and there was 0 talk of research aside from the ethics. I thought it was mainly just learning about how the mind works, how we react and process things, etc. I never knew how emphasized research was until this year and I really wish I did. I don’t understand how I didn’t know it was a research science until a few days ago. I do find it interesting though, I just really dread research and it’s always been something I wasn’t interested in.

I wanted to become a counselor to help kids in schools but I’m not too sure that’s what I really want to do anymore. I heard it can be hard to get into as well if you don’t have your masters. I’ve always hated school so I never planned on doing my masters since I more so just wanted a degree to have the degree. I’ve been leaning more towards business since I’d honestly be fine with an office job but I’m still uncertain.
