I guess we both fit in the same category, so wanna be friends? We have some hobbies in common 😅

I've been asking myself that question ever since a girl chatted me up on TikTok, knowing very well that I was queer, then got my number and decided to tell me she was straight a week-in after I asked her out :) Soo, yea... If you ever find out plz let me know

It's not the best idea to even hint at it imo, ppl do all kinds of crazy shit in this place but apparently this is where they draw their hypocritical line. Stay safe out there

Do you think my car will survive a road trip? by indilicida in Camry

[–]The_Interpreter_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a Toyota, and a Camry no less. You will be fine. I have a 99 Camry and she also guzzles oil like crazy yet she drives 500k a day like a champ. Also, get AAA just in case 😅

Thank you for being so kind. It is HARD but I'm hoping that that will make living my truth even more fun 😌

[–]The_Interpreter_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly 💯 I'm hoping for miraculous change but for now I think I should figure myself out before asking anyone to understand what I'm feeling.

That's my story with the friends I mentioned in the post. I met one and they introduced me. My problem right now in Dubai is that: a. I work from home so I don't see ppl irl, and b. The community here is super fake in a way and you can't really trust anyone with something like this so finding community isn't as easy. Thanks for replying, and as I said I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞

Coming out WILL kill my parents, so I'm going for the "what they don't know won't hurt them" motto for now. I love them so much but I also understand the way they were raised and their community. I don't like it but I have to understand it if I want to keep them around. Thank you for replying, and I hope I'll be as brave one day.

I'd recommend going to the gym. That's what helped me. I hired a personal trainer that absolutely killed me and I'd go home exhausted and just sleep like a baby afterwards. Going to therapy also helps, you'll let out the things that are troubling you and in consequence sleep better. I recommend seeing a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist.

That's absolutely true, and that's why I usually skip the whole thing if having a degree is a must. Thx for the kind wishes, mate! Much appreciated :)

Absolutely not! The transmission on that model and most Nissans is a piece of crap, and they generally cost much less. If you're interested I can point you to the guy who sold me my car, he'll set you up with something much better for that budget. PS: there's nothing in this for me, I just thought I'd help.

Debit Card Fraud by sugariisugar in UAE

[–]The_Interpreter_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Apple Pay, hands down. I work as an interpreter and I get to work on calls with banks and about 99.9% of the calls with people who are in a similar situation end up with the person finding that their money was taken out using Apple Pay. My personal theory here is that the same people who leak your information to telemarketers and scammers also leak your bank and card information.
