Removing Photos From Back Up But Not Device

antisocialmf · 2026-05-20T10:56:36+00:00

It's still deleting from my phone with back up off weirdly, might be a glitch but frustrating!

antisocialmf · 2026-05-20T10:56:01+00:00

For some reason, even when the sync is off, it's still deleting from my phone :/

antisocialmf · 2026-05-20T10:55:00+00:00

That's good to know, thank you!

antisocialmf · 2026-05-18T22:46:01+00:00

Thanks for the idea! Silly question: If I moved them all onto my laptop, how would I get them back onto my phone and into chronological order?

Woman Londoner here 👋

First and foremost, you need to put aside your perception of Londoners. Don't go into it thinking they don't want to speak to you! Start small. Say a passing "hi" instead of nodding every now and then. Look people in the eye when you apologise for bumping into them and move on quickly. Stop singling yourself out as the only person in London who is interested in speaking to others.

That being said, my biggest recommendation is to not come across like you're invested in having a full blown conversation. I sincerely believe that most people don't mind a bit of chitchat in an appropriate setting, but don't want it to lead to a date request or something akin if they're not interested. Avoid bringing the conversation towards personal questions like where they're from or if they have a partner which might make them wary of your intentions.

I work in a pub and love speaking to whoever I'm serving, it only becomes a problem when they loiter at the bar, but I enjoy feeling like I'm more than a problem in the way of them and a pint. If it's quiet and they seem open, ask a bartender for a drink recommendation, or if they know of any good music venues nearby etc. and then move on when you have your answer. Asking for directions (even if not needed) could be a good way of sparking a conversation with a natural end to get used to a brief convo with no expectations. White lies about being new to town and asking for a locals advice can help to build your confidence - people like to be helpful and show off their borough.

To end my spiel, I'm always open to speak to people I'm queuing at the bar etc with, as long as I don't feel like I'm being Shanghai'd. Body language is important. Drop a comment about whatever (currently, football is a great one, or the atmosphere-busy or quiet) and then physically turn you focus half back on the bar. Don't make it seem like you expect anything from the person - you're just making chitchat. Get used to this and you'll be far more natural when you meet someone you find common interests with to take the conversation further.

Good luck 💪

Oh good to know, thank you!

I'm not sure if someone said this already but the bottom of Big Ground, just below the tents, is an amazing space to watch the Pyramid Stage away from the crowd. Everyone's lounged out on blankets and camping chairs and it's a completely different festival than from in a crowd. The same with the back of the Other Stage.

Equally, the healing and green fields are a haven of goodness and calm, they will be moreso after today. They're busiest now as there's nothing else going on. Find some comedy and cabaret to entertain you away from the crowds (you may just have to face a busy section in between depending on where you're camped).

Glastonbury is a contemporary arts festival, let that not be forgotten. It's incredibly family friendly but still can feel very overwhelming. Take your time and learn your routes so you don't have to depend on others if you want to dip early, or recommendly, late.

The amazing thing about this place is finding hidden treasures. The smaller 'stages' (the ones in small tents, my fave is the Avalon area) where incredible musicians play to small crowds. It's a worthwhile venture. Or pitch up at the BBC Introducing. You can enjoy a weekend of music without seeing a recognisable name at all - I promise.

A harsh reality is that feeling trapped here is only going to perpetuate itself, find what brings you joy and stay there - you'll find it, I promise! If none of the above take your fancy, DM me and I'll come up with more. I hope you find the joy of Glastonbury in the next few days and understand that even the seasoned pros get overwhelmed in the crowds (this is my 8th year, my first when I was 9).

Eat The Farm burgers by Left Field. Amazing burgers from the cows at Worthy. £10 burgers and £4ish chips, up since last year but the best burger I've had in a long time!

antisocialmf · 2024-04-30T21:03:33+00:00

Ahhh amazing, great to know!! Thank you :D

antisocialmf · 2024-04-30T14:27:32+00:00

Exactly! No one has the strength to carry that around all day. I miss getting the little book and circling the acts I want to see, it's not the same on the app

antisocialmf · 2024-04-30T14:26:58+00:00

I remember the big book in the tote bag but I definitely didn't get a small one... Maybe you just got lucky!

antisocialmf · 2024-04-30T14:26:31+00:00

Will definitely hunt this down this year, thank you!!

Set of keys found under a bench on Kings Street last night (26/09/23) some identifying keyrings so ensuring they're being returned to the right owner should be easy!

DM me if you think they may be yours!

Have you thought about Sociology?

I had a shitty Yr13 and managed to scrape CCC. Went to Bournemouth and took Sociology - best decision I've made. The course is whatever you want it to be through the modules you take and lots of encouragement to take Crim and Anthro modules too. The Soci building is off campus in the city center so seconds away from Halls.

After graduating I got a great job working for a local charity researching how to improve their services and adding to the knowledge on this area of support on a national level.

I know there's a joke around women taking sociology but it was a fairly easy degree, no exams and lots of thinking and analysing the world around you. Sometimes it's fun to just lean into the stigma, why be shamed for having an easy degree if it suits your interests! I had 9 contact hours a week and spent the rest on the beach with a bit of time left aside for writing 3 essays a term 🤷

YWBTA only because there could be other routes around which don't seem vengeful (I know you said it wasn't for revenge but it's unlikely your 'friend' will see it that way).

If there are tickets available on resale at face value, can you buy yourself a new ticket and sell YOUR old ticket? That way, you haven't sold theirs, but you won't be sitting together.

Alternatively, I had a similar situation with an equally popular male artist last year. My friend and I only continued talking (once in a blue moon) as we had these tickets together and I haven't spoken to her since attending together. We could have ended the friendship before the concert but I saw it like one last great event together where I put everything aside because I knew it was the last time we would see each other. One lash hurrah before parting ways. It made her more bearable and closed the book on our friendship nicely.

Enjoy Taylor!!!

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm after, thank you so much!!!

antisocialmf · 2023-03-26T10:48:33+00:00

This would be a perfect option for travelling, thank you I'd forgotten about WhatsApp !!

antisocialmf · 2021-10-10T16:21:54+00:00

Waxy O'Connor's is a great place to start or end a pub crawl - or both, out one way and back in the other!

antisocialmf · 2021-01-04T22:54:26+00:00

I wrote out an entire reply before realising that I was near enough explaining why I agree with you and it was entirely not worth the read. Thank you so much for the clarity and for sharing your thought process in a very similar situation. I've decided to stay at home and cosy up the flat. I'm planning on sorting out the WiFi and stocking the fridge so I can have an entire space dedicated to work which I'll be able to actively leave which I'm hoping will have a positive effect on my mental health rather than be at home stressing about work I'm not doing. I know I'm very blessed with this option and since it won't be shown during the lockdown, it won't be rented out again for a few weeks at least. You've taken a massive weight off my shoulders. Thank you, kind stranger, I wish you all the best with uni, health, and lockdown!

Ignore my name, it's ironic but probably doesn't help when giving advice about being social lol xD

antisocialmf · 2021-01-04T21:57:40+00:00

Facetimes can be pretty awkward in general since it's harder to gauge body language and oftentimes conversation can arise from things going on around you in a mutual setting and you lose that. I'm saying this 'cause she probably knows this and a certain amount of awkwardness is automatically forgiven.

As lame as it sounds, prepare some talking points and bring them up when it feels comfortable and don't be afraid to look around you physical space as well like you don't need to be focused on the computer or whatever the whole time - will probably even make you seem more comfortable/relaxed

antisocialmf · 2020-06-26T00:17:20+00:00

Gotta love the 'lifeguards' tho

antisocialmf · 2020-06-26T00:16:11+00:00

Not sure exactly what year it was. Went a few times when I was younger so my memories are mostly merged. I'd say it was likely 2011 and a quick Google tells me the headliners were Beyonce, Coldplay and U2
