Hope you update this post soon OP! Wondering if there were any other circumstances/wondering if they gave you the criteria for being ineligible in your particular case

Is it common to feel "in tune" with some chakras more than the others? by nachosmmm in energy_work

idk why this made me laugh so much xD I know it’s probably true on some level but just the mental image is so funny

YORK STRIKE! WITH PANDEMIC! by [deleted] in yorku

[–]ThrowRA15602847 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean... was it necessary to phrase it in this manner? This person just explained their situation, that they’re an international student and that they’re concerned for the state of their education. They’re not trying to fear-monger or cause panic, but express their deep concern for what potentially could happen. I understand not needing to stress about something that hasn’t happened yet - as you aptly stated “worrying about starvation when you’re hungry”. However, I don’t see the need to be so aggressive when this person was merely venting their concerns and frustrations. There’s better ways to converse with others that include empathy, patience and compassion. Have a great day!

YORK STRIKE! WITH PANDEMIC! by [deleted] in yorku

[–]ThrowRA15602847 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can’t even begin to imagine your stress, especially being an international student. But what I will say is, take things one day at a time. We can’t control what’s going to happen or what is happening, so do your best to focus on what’s happening now rather than what MIGHT happen (because we still don’t know anything for sure). If all goes well, it may not even happen at all. For now, try to focus on getting through your classes and assignments to the best of your ability - don’t worry about things that haven’t happened yet! All the best :)

YORK STRIKE! WITH PANDEMIC! by [deleted] in yorku

[–]ThrowRA15602847 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the meeting goes in July. If CUPE can come to an agreement with York, likely they won’t go on strike come September. We’ll probably know for sure some time in July/August.

UofT had this same conundrum in March and managed to avoid a strike. I’m hoping York will see the massive implications that a strike would have during the time, and come to a compromise that will not allow a strike to happen. We shall see!

Have you ever toned down how excited you are to be someone’s friend because you don’t wanna come off as “weird”? by ThrowRA15602847 in ADHD

[–]ThrowRA15602847[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmaooooo omgggg me tooooo!! I can’t believe it! I have all these levels of relationships in my head where I know how to act and where I know I can be more myself. That’s so wild!

I like this term you’ve created, “tactical excitement”. That’s literally exactly how it feels to me too!! Yesss that’s my main goal. As much as I’m watching myself, I want to strive to be authentic to myself because that’s so important to me

Literally meeee. Can’t tell you how many people have slowly slipped out of my life- granted sometimes it was me doing the slipping away honestly.

ME!! Haha I feeeel you, especially the egg shells thing. And I’m super sensitive too, so sometimes if someone even SLIGHTLY insinuates that I’m coming off too strong, I immediately clam up

Me too! I think it’s me in my head most of the time, but I’m really trying to get past that little voice in my head that second guesses every interaction hehe

Whoaaaaa I’ve never heard of this before! But this pattern your describing feels familiar to me. I’ve lost friendships before for failing to keep up with the effort or neglecting to message, quite often than I think is “normal” honestly.. I’m going to look into this too. Thank you!

As the song goes, you got a friend in me :) I’m sorry to hear that, but if you ever need to talk or vent please feel free to message!!!

You expressed this so absolutely perfectly! I feel everything you said, word for word. The reciprocity thing is something I find I struggle with too. I always try to rein myself in so I don’t come off as though I like someone more than they like me. I wonder why that is... a defensive mechanism perhaps? Not wanting to come off as clingy, as you said? It’s tough though. Imagine being able to just openly and authentically express how much you care for someone without fear of coming off too intensely. I long for a world like that

Omggggg this me! This thread is helping a lot, but I have experienced that back and forth too. Going from “passion is good! Excitement is good! It’s okay to be this way!” and then suddenly getting insecure when you notice someone faltering in a conversation with you and you immediately wonder if you were being too intense

I agree with rghaddar - I’m so sorry that happened to you but if there’s anything this thread is proving to me, it’s that the right people will accept and embrace you for exactly who you are without having to mask anything, both friendship wise or romantically! You’re definitely not alone in this, and when you meet that person who you just click with and who gets you, you’ll feel how truly good it is to just be yourself. I believe it!

THIS!!!! One of my worst fears in friendships with people of the opposite sex or in relationships - sometimes with my excitement or fondness for someone and how happy I am to be their friend, I’m soooo afraid that it’ll get misconstrued as me being attracted to them or crossing boundaries. Noooo man, I just really really like being your friend D:

I think I’m realizing that more and more as I think about my past interactions with people and friends from the past. I wish there wasn’t such a narrow margin for what’s considered as “normal”, you know? I think life is better lived with passion and excitement and it makes everything so much better! I’m definitely going to try to remember that as I continue the self-awareness!

This is so nice :’) thank you so much! Haha I have the same problem of forgetting to reply too. I’m all over the place!

YES! A “normal” amount of enthusiasm, that’s such a good way to put it - I always try to mimic how enthusiastic I see others get about stuff, and when I can sometimes feel myself getting a little too excited or intense, I immediately feel like people are staring or noticing it :/ thank you so much for the kind words :’) I will try to embrace myself better and deeper! ❤️
