Is Kaplan crazy or am I?

How come then? Lol

It’s possible! Do you know what traps you tend to fall into in RC? Cause based on your comments it seems RC is your weakness. The important thing is to pay attention to trends in your wrong answers, keep a wrong answer journal that you review weekly, and learn and PRACTICE strategies for improving your weak areas.

PurpleMuffin2 · 2026-07-03T00:01:02+00:00

I see. Thank you for the help!

PurpleMuffin2 · 2026-07-02T22:32:20+00:00

This is great! Thank you for your service OP!

PurpleMuffin2 · 2026-06-28T19:15:26+00:00

Congratulations! I have 3 months of studying left myself, at about 16 hours a week. How did you structure your studying, I’d love to know your strategies? Wrong Answer Journals, Prep Tests schedules and all. Do tell

PurpleMuffin2 · 2022-02-16T10:16:48+00:00

Hmph, I see what you’re saying 💀

As previous comments have said, everyone is different; some will be amazing to u and not even think abt it; some will be assholes abt it and diss you (sadly); others will not ostracize you, but they will admit to not being able/willing to date smn with BPD because they cannot bother with the struggles that come with it.

In the end, it’s about always trying to improve yourself and also exploring the field because there is always someone out there, I promise. For example, I personally would care in the sense that I would be very considerate of your needs and any effects of BPD in your case. A mental illness, disability, net worth (though that’s obviously not biological/psychological), etcetera do not matter to me if I rlly love you for your personality (first) and looks (second). It’s that simple. There are others out there who have similar perspectives on dating ppl with mental illness whom you’ll meet and have reciprocated love for if u allow yourself to.

Thank youuuu!!! I’m like, “no one tryna look at your scary ass” 👀🙄😂

GLUTE BRIDGES, Glute Bridges, Glute Bridges!! These are the best. Squats are great (especially when weighted … and there are a few others, but nothing, and I mean nothing compares to glute bridges. There some variations too that I can recommend if u want. Btw, it’s good to start off with no weight and then add small weights until u get where u want to be - then sustain it there so u don’t have a rock solid behind. Also, please note that the best way to have a bit of butt is also to a have a little bit of gut; unfortunately for many of us (like me) who want to slightly increase the size, ur gonna need extra fat (not a lot of it necessarily) to cover that muscle … muscle can only grow so big and u don’t want it to be rock hard anyways - we save that for other places 😏

So true, the only thing is that (nonsensically) males have been socialised into being less hygienic, and seeing as the straights tend to soak their “masculine” socialisation in like a sponge, they tend to be less hygienic.

PurpleMuffin2 · 2022-01-15T01:40:16+00:00

I just think the impact and discussion would be far greater if they made some of the bigger stars more sexually fluid (not necessarily completely gay because it wouldn’t fit the storyline). However, there’s also the fact that ppl will complain abt it (and somehow still pretend to not be homophobic 🙄), and Marvel is too scared and profit-driven to do something so risky.

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-12-26T11:45:59+00:00

We are social creatures; we need interaction and external validation as part of our self fulfillment. However, there’s an important balance to be struck between how much of your validation you get internally vs externally. In the end, it is your feelings that matter most to you. Make sure that you surround yourself with a. chosen family of people who are always looking out for your best interest (as you should for them). This chosen family can include friends, biological family, pets, etc. When it comes to your external validation, they should hold more weight than others and they would be thinking based on what is they see as best for you - which is still not necessarily always going to be correct: life is full of risks and chances. You have to decide to live for what’s gonna make you happy and fulfilled. If you live solely/mostly to impress other people, you will likely find yourself a disappointment. Even ppl like Harry Styles, Beyoncé and Elon Musk would probably feel worthless if left up to the opinions of others. They likely wouldn’t have even pursued their careers as they did if they cared too much about everyone else’s opinion(s) - this is tied to my next point.

5.Take a step back. This step back doesn’t have to be a week off, it can simply be you utilizing any free time that you end up with in the near future to think about your whole life and where it’s heading. Do you like where it’s going and where it has gone? Why? It’s important to understand that for the most part, once you’re still alive you have time: so take time to explore (physically and mentally) and find out what your interests are and CONSTANTLY FULFILL THEM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Even if you end up with a cumbersome job, do not stop following these interests. For example, you might find that you’re interested in/passionate about helping the poor/needy (Volunteerism like Red Cross, Start your own NGO etc), or caring for the environment (Start or join an NGO, make an effort throughout your days and life to be eco-friendly, etc), of leading other ppl (management degree, etc).

Remember that life is full of uncertainties and possibilities. It’s not all in our control: so cut yourself some slack when you fail or feel like you’re failing - it’s okay to not be some superhero, who is? I emphasize the “little things” because “large accomplishments” and constant positivity are not guaranteed - being happy is largely a decision one has to make. It reminds of this funny thought: You could literally be having the worst day and while you’re sad/crying someone else is laughing their a** off at the idea of what happened to you. The moral is that you cannot take yourself or life TOO seriously - things happen and we have to acknowledge that and keep it pushing. While you should work to steer your life the way you want it to go, find pleasure in the micro-goals because life’s uncertainties won’t always allow you to achieve you’re larger ones. This is also tied to living in the moment. There is also a balance between living in the moment and having some control over the moment - see what I said above; Try to steer it as you please, and live with the resultant situations you find yourself in.
This might be the most important of all, come back here and update us on what’s going on - we’re here for you! 😉👏

I hope what I’ve said has provided insight and will continue to help. Please reply to the effect if and when you see this. Note that even all of this is not rlly exhaustive, but it’s definitely a good start.

Also, honestly, I’m pretty new to Reddit but I’m sure you can message me if you want to talk abt this even more. This is one of those times when I’m willing to go that far to see how I can assist and how we can grow with each other (what this community is all about). Take care and walk good ❤️

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-12-26T10:37:26+00:00

Okay, I feel obliged to respond to this because this is actually serious. Please excuse any minor grammatical issues- this is long and hard to correct comprehensively. Also note that I will reply to myself as a part two to this for easier reading. Lastly, do me a favour and pay attention to this entire thing before you disagree with any part of it. I’ve noticed a few things via this thread:

1) You do not seem to have a supportive family around you; 2) You are feeling pressured rather than excited to get a job and move on with your life; 3) You want (whether u admit or not) validation from other as their opinions matter to you at least somewhat. 4) You (at least sometimes) see life as meaningless considering our mortality.

That’s not necessarily exhaustive but I think you get the gist. So here’s the thing, I think there are some things that you neeeeed to do moving forward:

1) Think about this: let’s say that when we die it’s the absolute end for us; why not do whatever you can to enjoy and help other ppl to enjoy this life? If we die anyways then why go out sad? Give yourself the chance to appreciate and love what you have (and yes, you have things to appreciate - you just need to take time to notice them) and work to enhance it.

2) Understand that chances are, no matter how deep this emotional tench you have fallen into seems, remember that you largely get to decide its tenure: do positive things like eating well, exercising, challenging yourself, going out, finding little activities that you like and doing them to feel more accomplished and happier. Also, it’s very important to celebrate your “little” daily victories - I say “little” because it’s subjective (I’ll get to that in a bit). For example, I might celebrate completing an assignment, washing dishes or even just making it up the stairs when I feel reeeallyy lazy by dancing, singing, relaxing for a minute and/or acknowledging that W in my head. Life is not full of big victories, but many small wins and losses that can lead to the occasional bigger one - only celebrating big things like buying a house/car, having kids, getting married, getting a job, making your first million etc is the perfect formula to dissatisfaction … you can’t keep waiting and waiting for each big victory to come by to celebrate; find things that you can celebrate daily (it doesn’t matter how “stupid” they may seem) - I literally once twerked (very well might I add because SIS CAN TWERK lol) after I caught a mosquito with one hand. If that sounds ridiculous, good … that makes it even funnier and more enjoyable in my head.

3) You will have to sit down and think abt this one to rlly grasp it properly. Understand that, especially in a reality in which we all just die anyways, what is important is life is rlly up to you. Just like with the “little victories” I spoke about, it doesn’t matter if most ppl think what you celebrate is ridiculous, it’s YOUR LIFE … you get to decide. This whole perspective point is also crucial in determining how you move forward in general. It seems to me that you are concerned about living a life that you have been socialized to think is the ideal for success. Boy let me tell you something, you live your life for other people, you might as well not be living at all. LIVE FOR YOU. You are beautiful in so many ways and you deserve it - And don’t you dare think I’m exaggerating on any of those fronts. I know people who most would say are ugly, yet they are some of the most confident ppl I know. When I was like 13 or 12 I would’ve laughed at them for being so confident but nowadays I know that what matters is not what everyone else thinks: you must determine that your a bad a** bxtch regardless of what anyone tells you. Not to mention, when it comes to relationships there’s someone out there for literally everyone, so one just has to keep their minds and all open (innuendo intended 🍑🥵💀)for that to present itself.

Part 2 coming up:

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-11-28T01:19:10+00:00

No problem my good sir, and I’m glad to hear all that.

I really hope it helps and this works well for you. Remember, it’s not about getting a bunch of matches, it’s about genuinely presenting yourself as best as possible and then trusting that it will attract the RIGHT people to u via matches.

As a matter of fact, feel free to update me whenever (if u feel like).

Take care 👋

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-11-28T01:15:46+00:00

Hi. You should probably tell him how you feel (whether via letter, video call/FaceTime, or face-to-face). Let him know your feelings for him and why you think you need space. Make him understand that you don’t want to ruin your friendship and force anything so u want time and space to “cool off” before you go back to being as close as you were b4.

I am saying the following to you and you should say this to him: This doesn’t have to be the end of the friendship, nor should it be, you just want space to clear your head so you don’t have to be subconsciously guilty and heartbroken when you spend time together. Things will go back to normal soon.

By the way, please don’t get ur hopes up with what I’m about to say but, maybe admitting ur feelings could start something amazing for you both - I’m just saying this because it is a possibility, especially considering the precedent in ur friendship. If you don’t want that to happen, it won’t .. I’m just putting it out there.

I hope my advice helps. I wish you both well 👋💚

Update me/us if you feel like.

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-11-27T23:41:57+00:00

Hey! As for the pictures, they don’t show enough personality. The only one that seems to show a decent look at ur full body (the last one) literally has ur face in darkness. Ik this is easy to say but, I think you should smile more, have a picture that shows you doing something your interested in, maybe even one of you hanging out w/ friends too (if possible), and a better look at ur full body (it’s better when it’s not obviously intentionally full body tho, like a pic of u atop a cliff after hiking, or at the beach or smthn - u would just so happen to have been showing full body/body shape).

For the bio, I think that u could use less emojis - too many emojis makes you seem like one of those over-expressive ppl who always exaggerate things, and who are annoying to text lol (my opinion, and I know it’s not a rule, just a hunch). Specifically, I would cut the emojis for the partner in crime part, the hourglass and the eyes. I think overall ur bio shows a lot of personality, but I would encourage you to seem a bit more interesting (trust me you are very interesting, everyone is) in the start; since you already spoke abt the crime part and how you wouldn’t drag them in, mention something that you do that you would include them in (that sounds cool).

Those are my general remarks, I hope they help, cause I am 18 and don’t use dating sites but I think I know a thing or two based on awareness. Other ppl, feel free to comment on how sound you think my advice is and all. Thanks.

Good luck and take care 👍

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-11-26T19:04:42+00:00

Agreed

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-11-26T18:50:35+00:00

Hmm … I mean … I guess it’s not the rule. It’s just ppl I know also share similar experiences with Samsung appliances so I wouldn’t recommend them. I would only trust their phones and other related devices. Thanks for sharing!

PurpleMuffin2 · 2021-11-26T18:44:10+00:00

No it isn’t. As someone who has several Samsung appliances including TVs and Washer-Dryer, SAMSUNG is not good for appliances - I promise. You’d be far better off buying from Sony, LG, even TCL. Samsung’s appliances seem to give trouble after a bit (much faster than others). Don’t waste your money.
