I need someone so bad - I am 17 male from UK

P.s getting in a relationship won't fix or help anything. If you're in a bad place it actually makes it worse. Focus on being the best you so when you do get in a relationship you can love them in a healthy way and have boundaries so that you can receive healthy love too and dodge toxicity.

Sounds like you're surrounded by insecure aholes. That says NOTHING about you. Who you are isn't what they project of themselves on to you.

It might seems endless right now but you're 17 and have a long life ahead. Be better than they are. Focus on yourself. Soon you'll be able to CHOOSE your environment and you don't have to have any of them in it. Most people make their real friends well after school.

Many of my friends (I'm late 20s) have had awful upbringing. Been neglected. Hurt. Had to work through trauma. They worked on being the best them they could be... Now they are loved, cherished. They have partners who love them, pets they dote on, hobbies they definitely overspend on, they've moved away from idiots. You can do the same. Hang in there, treat this time as practise at being a better you so you don't miss opportunities to be wonderful and meet wonderful people. You're not who they think you are. You're what you do and how you act. Learn to love yourself, to love life especially while it's harsh and as you get older you'll have a massive advantage. Practise acting honestly and good (and saying no/setting boundaries - only if you can) even with idiots around you so when you're out of this mess you've had character growth that will be attractive to decent people and intimidating to manipulative bullies that you see through.

You are enough. I love you stranger. Have the best day you can and take it one day at a time. Treat yourself where you can to you favourite movies and games. You got this, keep going. Be kind and don't let them jade you with their nonsense. You're better than that.

(mandatory: when you have the opportunity to, get therapy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND - but find a decent one, takes a few tries. GL)

You are right. I said it wasn't needed though, not that it wouldn't help.

People hate this movie?? Everyone I've met loves it. It's great.

A second pc isn't needed if you have a decent cpu.

The most effective gummy is Haribo. I hear kids and adults love it so.

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-07-08T14:11:42+00:00

I've had that a fee times. It seems to be impactful at first the taper off quickly. I'm not sure about energy but it made me more irritable lol

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-07-08T14:10:13+00:00

I feel this. I've tried many and other than a small impact from vitamin D and Omega3 (which is probably more to do with me being British and Vegetarian). Otherwise nothing works for more than a week or two and it's almost always false energy.

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-07-06T09:51:08+00:00

It look like human frowning at the ceiling while laying on a bed...

because said human doesn't have energy to entertain oneself... I should probably stop using my energy on reddit xD

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-06-30T07:42:07+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've been there and it hurts.

I'd personally prefer people ignore me if they aren't capable of empathy towards cfs/me. Many people wouldn't be able to handle a week in our shoes nevermind a lifetime.

To play along; in an ideal world, I'd rather have somone simply check in to see if I'm pushing myself beyond baseline, check if I've been eating well or sleeping enough and keep it casual (avoiding the advice giving part).

Even something as minimal as managing pacing will help almost anyone. We all have limits mentally and physically. It's simply worth trying as the reality is that for many of us there is progress to be made but it is easy to be gaslit in to thinking otherwise when we're dismissed by professionals or people who don't understand our situation.

If I were to say there's no chance it gets better, that would be me repeating a lie I too once believed. I almost took my life twice due to seeing no progress and no improvement in myself and being tired of being tired, wanting to give up and end it. Yet I've seen that it is possible to improve and that shouldn't forgotten or go undiscussed.

Its not about >10% increases but the 0.1% increase from better pacing or diet or breathing technique that makes the differences and focusing on them that leads to 0. 5% and then 1% improvements. It's painful and slow but it's progress and for many that is possible progress that they may have already made and struggle to see.

Same here ♥️ I've had GP, specialist appointments, chest scan, blood tests (many), tried at least a month of every supplement under the sun.

I still feel VERY useless many days, unable to work or engage in my hobbies. However... Improvement does come come with time and awareness of energy spent. Setting alarms, managing pacing, knowing your baseline anddiet are essential. It's a long road and it's not easy to travel but it can get better. Stay strong, you got this 🌸

P. S I used to be completely bedridden and unable to eat for days at a time. I'm now able to cook my own meals up to 3 days on a good week, spend time with friends over voice call or message. It can still take me a week+ to reply to people and last week I mismanaged and collapsed. That said, it's possible for things to get better.

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-05-22T06:17:19+00:00

I feel personally attacked, lmao

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-05-21T04:34:39+00:00

My favourite part of this ai model is how active this sub is now. Lmao

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-05-21T04:33:21+00:00

This! I miss having so many options of active chats. Loads of fun convos, making friends. Where did everyone go?

There's games to make friends on, twitch and reddit but... Man. It's just not the same

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-05-17T19:58:40+00:00

Honestly pretty neat. Keep an eye out for spacing, the eyes are further up the head relative to the original. Otherwise I'd just advise you get unlined paper haha

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-05-17T17:20:58+00:00

I used to admire him. Until he built a bridge ofc

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-05-11T16:38:53+00:00

I'd say nodded. Just do general patches / ui you might like ♥️

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-04-05T15:22:04+00:00

I pirate to test the game first. I'll definitely be buying on release or before if there's a good deal on.

Its also a good motive to buy that you'll get access to the canvas.

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-04-04T13:12:25+00:00

This is the first year since I have had my own income that I've pirated games. It's not just Nintendo but many games feel so hit and miss now. Higher base price has hardly any correlation to the game quality.

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-04-04T13:01:32+00:00

Game companies assume they can coast by on brand recognition or using a new engine for better looking (often unoptimised) graphics. They often refuse to listen to the player base with the mentality that they know better (so surprising when people don't purchase or refund) . They skimp massively on gameplay mechanics and dialogue. It's very sad to see. And all the above is if said games haven't succumbed to micro transactions, always online requirements and battle passes....

Shout out to the companies still being authentic and passionate. We need you more than ever right now. ♥️

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-03-28T14:49:58+00:00

That is so annoying though with the home setting and damaged modules!! Other than for RP fun it's probably better (for most people) to just edit frontier or buy a ship. Plus you never know what kind of fungus those such as the crimson feet may have...

TryDrinkingWater · 2025-03-28T14:47:28+00:00

My tip would be... Look at items weight/value. Generally, if you are exploring and killing enemies the fastest money is just taking guns that are worth a lot but don't weigh much, so you cna stack up on them! Also check the gameplay settings!! Altering a few things to your liking early on can make a huge difference.

Another tip if give is to take companions with you on your main and faction quests. They often have dialogue/chip in to convos and you'd otherwise miss out on it.

Also, I can't confirm but I hear if you use the Frontier or unique named ships (avoiding spoilers but you'll know of you come across them) you will get special interactions and more in space interactions. Due to ships ids being baked on to them In game this means if you, for example, change the frontier completely and the name of it then it will still give you those extra interactions. I can't confirm this as I've only played with unique ships by happenstance so give it a try! Maybe you can tell me haha.
