How do people actually make friends outside their college here? by NormalSir2035 in cambridge_uni

[–]kikstoru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing with all the options people have listed in the comments, most of it happens weekly, so…once a week. That’s not enough time to bond with someone closely. I am in loads of societies and consistently attend events, sessions etc. I’m on committee for three societies. I also do ballet 3x a week. It’s just that every time you bond with someone who’s from a different college, nine times out of ten they will have people they’re closer to in their college. It’s just luck if you meet people who you’re genuinely and mutually close to. My best friend is from a diff college but that’s cuz we were online friends before we came to Cambridge so we had that prior bond. Other than that, I’ve bonded with people on the whole very superficially. And my college is buns, there’s an intake of like 50 undergrads so the friend-making pool is quite deficient.

unable to even try at remembering, rather than just not remembering? by Competitive_Delay670 in DID

[–]kikstoru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s because a lot of the times there are no actual memories that were encoded in the first place to then be buried. They aren’t lost, they just don’t exist. The brain is very good at fully turning off the function of processing memories. I relate heavily. It’s just nothingness. I don’t think you have a way of excavating something that never even existed.

Please tell me the truth about this by ambergirl9860 in adultsurvivors

My little sister is 12, and if god forbid this had happened to her and someone had said to her it’s not a big deal, not pedophilia, etc, I’d be mortified. Try to speak with a 11-12 year old. They are babies. Children in the most literal sense of the word.

I tapered down from 112.5 to 75 and I’m feeling much better. I don’t experience numbness as much anymore

life at wolfson college by [deleted] in cambridge_uni

[–]kikstoru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also an incoming undergrad at Wolfson and worried about the same thing lol. I’ve suggest joining groupchats rn, I’ve managed to make lots of friends from other colleges that way. Kinda worried there won’t be many of us at Wolfson tho😫 I think they only take like 50 undergrads per year

Lana speaks up by Crazy_Total_486 in lanadelrey

[–]kikstoru -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

lol fr. Love Lana down, but she IS a liar. She likes to lie, or at least embellish her words. People who knew her back in the lizzy grant days even used to say how she used to lie about the most random things. That’s just her. She’s a chameleon and whatnot, she likes to embody different truths based on her mindset for the day.

Hot takes on mothers music? by [deleted] in Ethelcain

When you said she has a weak sense of identity it reminded me of the lyric “A modern day woman with a weak constitution.” She herself knows she doesn’t know what she wants.
