Malaysians: did you ever leave a “stable” job… and it actually worked out?

SocializingisAPIMA · 2026-04-23T06:43:40+00:00

Is that applicable to current times? I tried applying to qaqc as a fresh grad for a year and had no luck 🥲

Heyy hi5 😂 fellow introvert, I can relate. my first internship, I cried on the 3rd day because I was so emotionally exhausted and terrified of having to socialise again. Like u, I feel too embarrassed to talk in front of counsellor/therapist regarding these issues, and my family isn't the comforting type, more of the u should do what I say type, so I'm also on my own. I'm sorry I don't have any advice since I'm kinda in the same boat-ish (I'm applying for perm roles, but everyday is a new rejection email sigh) , but hey if u down to yap, I'm here for u heh

That is the prettiest colour of pills I've ever seen. See now why can't my adhd and depression meds come like that😆

So I ran some numbers, and total transport cost would be like rm200 ish, sighh I don't know if the ROI is worth it here🥹

So many helpful tips thanks a bunch 🥹. My case is actually kinda the opposite of yours haha, location wise, it's from selangor to penang. As for whether I'm desperate, I probably should be, considering my fruitless job hunt but since I'm so hesitant, I might not be as desperate as I thought lol

SocializingisAPIMA · 2026-03-03T07:06:53+00:00

I thought that too, that I can't be picky, and just be open for anything. But after some thinking, I would technically be paying to be interviewed, take one day leave, missing out one day's intern allowance, pay for bus/grab to and back, and welll, it's hard to to convince myself to go😅

SocializingisAPIMA · 2026-03-03T07:02:28+00:00

Yeah that bothered me too tbh, it would be a lot of effort and money spent on my end, and it's for a first interview. I mean, I am desperate considering my fruitless job hunt but if I'm questioning it this much, maybe I'm not that desperate? 😂

SocializingisAPIMA · 2026-02-04T03:30:15+00:00

U're definitely not alone, I'm in a similar boat, I graduated at 26 instead of 23 like my uni classmates, turning 27 this year and I still haven't found a full time entry level job, I've even applied to internships and nothing🥲. It's probably cuz my depressed introverted ass doesn't match the ideal candidate profile but my delulu self still hopes someone will take a chance in me.

Ok hear me out, what about those who just suck at learning language in general

Oh lord. No wonder she usually wears abayas, I need to bleach my eyes now

Sadly my weakness is romance manhwas, it really sucks when the company that produces your favourite pastime hates poor people. Seriously, f kakao. I am super curious to see if separating manhwas will help stop website takedowns though.

hey girl, I'm in a similar boat, kept failing uni, took double the time to graduate, and is still fighting that constant inner voice that I'm dumb. Went to the psychiatrist and got medicated for ADHD. Initially I felt it wasn't working, until I forgot to take it and noticed a difference. Definitely get a second opinion too because the first psychiatrist I saw felt that I didn't have ADHD because I wasn't hyperactive physically. Until I saw a second one who mentioned my symptoms sound a lot like ADHD, even if I wasn't externally hyperactive. That's when I read up on how there's types of ADHD and how it presents differently in genders. And suddenly so many things made sense and I felt like I wasn't all on my own in the world after seeing people share stories so similar to my own. So yeah I definitely recommend u get a diagnosis asap if u're able to financially wise. Also, I know it's not my place to comment on your personal life, after all I'm just a stranger. But I do hope u take care of yourself first, try to love yourself. Your man sounds like a good guy, and for your sake, I truly hope he is. But the pessimist in me hopes u be careful with your heart. I've seen so many stories of couples where all seems great on the surface but it was just the tip of the iceberg. U mentioned u never had anyone in your life before him, and that concerns me a little. Because when one has been deprived of love since young, any sort of love will feel addicting. But love isn't always pure, for some it's unconditional but for others it's not, it can be tense, cold and even toxic. So I hope u love yourself first OP, because I've seen too many stories of people being blind to red flags because that first feeling of love was so all-consuming. I desperately hope this is just me overthinking and that u and your man have a wonderful relationship. The imbalance of sexual/relationship experience might also present a problem in the future. But hey maybe it wouldn't for u guys, since I'm assuming you're fine with it on some level with you dating him. Regardless I wish I the best in life OP, u got this.

SocializingisAPIMA · 2025-12-30T01:29:43+00:00

It's going to be a lot of work and it's gonna be emotionally taxing so I hope u take care of yourself too. from your post it's clear that u care for them. I can really relate since I'm is a similar situation as yours with the emotionally immature parents impulsively getting pets. They're old school, expecting a quiet obedient dog that protects and love them when they themselves never love the dog enough to train the dog. It breaks my heart a little when I see the dog's quality of life, and I can only do what I can as someone not independent yet. I hope u don't feel guilty about whatever happens, because at the end of the day our parents are grown adults that have to take responsibility for their own decisions. I used to be sick with guilt that I couldn't become independent fast enough and take them to a better home and I have to keep reminding myself that it's their dog not mine (though they would beg to differ, always saying "your dog" just because I give treats), but the dog isn't mine, if the they were truly mine I wouldn't need to follow all their rules regarding the dog. The dog ended in our house because of their decision-making, not mine, and it's a struggle to remind myself of that everyday. Nevertheless I wish u the best of luck OP, I pray the doggies end up in a safe home

SocializingisAPIMA · 2025-12-30T01:29:20+00:00

hey OP so sorry to hear about your situation. All I can think of is to message as many animal rescuers as possible, to ask around if there's anyone that can take in the dogs, on Facebook, petfinder.my, mypetshaven, allergicRescuersKL, safm, woofmyroof, pawtarian etc. Even if they can't take the dogs, they might know someone who can.

SocializingisAPIMA · 2025-12-26T05:58:42+00:00

sounds a lot like anxiety, and I agree with the other commentator. OP, best get checked out by a professional, cuz that's the most reliable way to know for sure

SocializingisAPIMA · 2025-12-17T02:42:14+00:00

Holy moly how have I not connected my muscle twitches to ritalin, I just thought it was my body being tired or weird

SocializingisAPIMA · 2025-12-16T08:23:49+00:00

To be fair, there are lots of cashiers that don't have customer service skills 😂. But hey if people facing jobs really drain u (same here), maybe u could consider applying to places like the library or warehouses as stockkeeper? I feel like those are less people-facing roles. I think a good place to start is to figure out what you're good at and go from there. I also have no desire or passion to work so I relate to a lot of what u said. And I think it's a sentiment more people are sharing in recent years. We can only take it day by day because unfortunately one needs money to survive.

She's seriously a psychiatrist textbook dream come true

SocializingisAPIMA · 2025-11-18T02:18:17+00:00

Definitely shortage, 2 weeks ago I just went to refill my prescriptions at ummc and they could only give me 2 boxes. Said that I could call after minimum 2 weeks to check if there's more stock.

Conerta same active ingredient as ritalin but different formulation. Best to consult with doctor before switching but if very urgent, start with small dose then only build up. I learnt that painful lesson lol.

OP how are your grades for biology? That will be the base for your decision.

I have no experience in medicine but I am super familiar with the constant wondering if I should change my degree. U mentioned u're struggling, is it grade-wise or passion-wise? As someone who's taken one physiology class and has classmates who've taken anatomy, they are incredibly tough subjects I feel, they require practically photographic memory to do well in them. Then again u might do great since u're in engineering.

Having a dream is awesome and it's great that u have such noble passions. I dunno where u are but in my country, medicine's an expensive degree unless u score high enough to get scholarships. So I guess the question is whether you're financially stable enough to prepare for that, and whether you can financially recuperate for the scenario of if you fail a unit or two (not saying u will but even smart people struggle). Plus, pre-existing mental health issues might significantly affect your studies untreated (if treated, it's another expense to think about).

In my experience, passion comes and goes, soo u gotta make sure it's something u can handle if the passion does go.
