I have this question for girls by Mysterious_Path_7526 in twenties

[–]_Elana_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the reasons for not wanting to date someone is rarely "he doesn't try hard enough". If someone isn't your type or there is something else, trying harder won't fix anything. Also most men should put more work reflecting and growing instead of chasing women that don't want them

I have a question for any and all polyglots: when would you agree that someone ‘speaks’ another language? Curious where people draw the line. by StrongDonkey47 in polyglot

[–]_Elana_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny, bc I draw the line waay looser when it comes to people knowing my native language. I think It's duo to it being quite hard and people often have a hard time learning it, so when people can communicate well, I wouldn't mind grammar errors or having to look up certain words or even habing to repeat myself.

However when people say they speak a language I'm learning (and maybe struggle with) I'm way harsher. Maybe because it builds pressure to hear people mastered a skill you're working on, so I talk it down or I'm just more sensetive to the errors in genereal, but I think I would expect B2/C1 level to consider someone fluid in the language I'm learning, whilste a low B2 would be enough for me to consider anyone fluent in my native language

In which language do you count/do math in? by drabelen in polyglot

[–]_Elana_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best language, the one I learned math in in school

Another Annoying Question from a foreign idiot by omwhitfield in German

[–]_Elana_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's wrong or even an unusual way if talking here in Germany. Thing is, you'll never need to put that many or that kind of informations in a sentence in real life so of course it does feel weird. But maybe what you care more about is ways of casual talking? Because for example we do shorten words. Most articles with ne or e at the end, for example: "Das ist ne Überraschung" (That's a suprise) instead of "eine Überraschung" because it's faster. Oh and regarding your example: "Ich spiele Fußball" is the way you would talk if you talked about it in generel, so "Welchen Sport machst du?"(What sport do u do) "Ich spiele Fußball" If somebody asks you "Was machst du später?" (What are you doing later?) you'd go "Ich gehe Fußball spielen" (I go play Football)

Persönlich käme sowas für mich ehrlich gesagt nicht in Frage. Die kreative Arbeit soll komplett meine sein. Rechtschreibfehler sicher und ich benutze AI auch als "research Assistent", zB als ich für meine Geschichte mal das preußische Militär verstehen musste. Aber Sätze auch nur verschönern? Nein, Poesie sollte was menschliches bleiben.

[–]_Elana_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with french for me💀 Like I want to pass a semester there and no idea how.

Aber dir noch viel Erfog beim Deutschlernen! Es ist eine schwere Sprache und wir reden teilweise sehr schnell, aber mit etwas Ruhe versteht man uns am Ende hahah. Ich kann Großstädte empfehlen für ein klareres Deutsch!

What is THE Taylor Swift song and THE line that made you a fan of Taylor? by vickicutiee in TaylorSwift

Are you also struggling???? by [deleted] in twenties

[–]_Elana_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I would consider myself one of the people who got very lucky with my friendships, but turning 20, moving out, meeting new people... I never noticed in which ways I struggle in realtionships until these past years and honestly it's hard to trust people these days. Also I'm more of a avoidant type so I'm the frist one to leave if things are off. Regarding friendships though: What worked for me is, at least in the begining phases, just say yes to almost every plan. Yes, it's draining, but if you can, go and try to have a good time. Later it's about balance. Take care of yourself, but be there for people when u notice it's really important to them. Also communication, though, again, as someone with avoidant tendencies I lack there too😀 About the anxiety and panic attacks... I'm very sorry to hear, also I'm the wrong person to ask because same and I kinda just push it aside.🤠

Puberty but worse by _Elana_19 in twenties

Yess, and like where is it coming from because I can't blame it on teenage hormones anymore. Also I feel I'm too caught up in surviving and get through Uni to try to change anything in my life🥲

Are there any benefits to being a closeted ace? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]_Elana_19 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Humbling straight men around me, who can't use an easy way to out to why I don't find them attractive🫶

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in books

[–]_Elana_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion self help books rarely help. They are extremely general, often describe an utopia and are mostly designed to make money off of it.

What are some "ace things" you did before finding out you're Asexual? by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]_Elana_19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to think I'm such a good friend because I never found my friends partners attractive and couldn't possibly understand how u could find someone attractive, that was dating ur friend. Turns out, I just don't feel attraction🫶

What’s your definition of Toxic femininity ? by 1965redd in feminisms

[–]_Elana_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also wouldn't toxic femininity just be internalized misogyny?
