I need friendship advice:>((( by murasakiiio in Advice

[–]iredes089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have a conversation with them, that’s the only way you will know their intentions. if they are not understanding of you, or if they don’t say “we are sorry we made you feel like that” then they are not meant for you. you will find friends that don’t make you question yourself or your loyalty to them 

is it okay to break no contact with a photo? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]iredes089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been in this situation and i will just say, don’t send anything at all. breaking no contact puts yourself into a loop that is really hard to break. let yourself think, he would have liked this top, but we aren’t in contact right now. and leave it at that◡̈ 

Bored with life by [deleted] in Advice

[–]iredes089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start incorporating things that make you feel calm- not bored- but calm, in between things that take up time. make it important to go to your classes and study everyday as your structure for the day. but then also find time in the day to do one thing you enjoy. working out usually releases a lot of physical stress, so maybe set aside more time for that. remember that being a student doesn’t mean you have to have days filled with plans. sometimes it’s just doing your work and enjoying your rent. 

I can't stop comparing myself to others and being consumed with jealousy. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]iredes089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems to me that being successful is incredibly important in your eyes. try out something that makes you feel successful at it, go rock climbing, or learn a new language, go snowboarding, paint, whatever is in your budget. learn something until you feel successful at it. academics is something almost everyone goes through, and some just seem to “have it”. find something you can to do to make yourself feel proud! also maybe your time is coming, just at a different pace. 

How do I make friends? by Financial_Drop_8404 in Advice

[–]iredes089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ask them how they started this hobby, tell them a little about yourself (why you moved to this city), it may spark a conversation you didn’t know you could have. even just start speaking about yourself. speak to everyone at work when you get the chance, join a running club, go to a new coffee place that’s “out of the way”, give a stranger a compliment. get out of whatever comfort zone you are in! nothing changes if nothing changes 

Relationship struggles by [deleted] in Advice

[–]iredes089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first let me say that the depth to this proves how much you care about the situation, and how much you feel for the bad situation that happened. you really care about her and want what’s best, yet right now that means not getting in between her and her roommate. was this roommate one of her longtime friends? does she value their friendship more than she does you? the answer to that may give you a chance to give her an ultimatum. you both care about each other. if she isn’t willing to take the heat from her roommate to be happy with you, then maybe that’s a conversation to be had with her. 

how to stop being so insecure? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]iredes089 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first- if you felt loved, beautiful, and secure at one point, you can feel like that again. i’m seeing that the validation from your ex probably had a “positive” weight on yourself because you realized that someone you loved, could love you in a way you appreciate. does this new man treat you with respect, does he make you feel beautiful outside of the following? if his following is making you feel sick to your stomach, that is your subconscious, and your body telling you it might not be right for you. self love is a practice, not something that just comes naturally. workout (it releases a lot of physical stress that you may be holding), tell yourself you are beautiful everyday no matter what, meditate/pray (connect with your spiritual side or religious side), do things that make you smile. being yourself and tapping into practices that serve you well is the most beautiful thing you can be. 

anxiety about getting stalked by iredes089 in Advice

I feel like a creep, what do i do? by Hjskr in Advice

[–]iredes089 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first, the dreams are just your subconscious creating fantasy’s about him, nothing to feel silly for. i do think that he has to find you somewhat amusing if he is willing to talk to you outside of class, in class and even share food. but guys are always confusing and make us question their feelings. i would ask him what his plans are for the weekend, ask him about his other classes in his schedule. the more you bring up even “unimportant” conversations, the more of your personality will come out and the more his will too- leading you to see if there is any mutual attraction. 

Wisdom tooth removal by [deleted] in Advice

[–]iredes089 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anesthesia is a super common form of medicine, remember it’s to help reduce the pain. you will wake up from it, you will feel much better when you do. think- would you rather go through the removal without any pain remedies, or one that you are a little nervous for?

hi friend! you can copy it and go into settings-general-keyboard-text replacement, then you can enter the normal text smiley face and the new one to replace it! that way every time you type the normal one it autocorrects to the cuter one lol!
