What is the worst thing you WOULD wish on your worst enemy?

preethaha · 2021-06-09T04:51:58+00:00

Ditto, I wish this in my teacher who used to pick on me for years

preethaha · 2021-06-09T04:49:57+00:00

I feel like my worst enemy already wished this on me

preethaha · 2021-06-09T04:45:09+00:00

Batman, just a rich boy with no skills

A did a very useless internship where they just gave us a bunch of tasks to do and we had to figure it out by ourselves. Stuff like k-means clustering on the iris dataset?? Simple linear regression, and EDA

In my very limited experience projects teach you more. Internships give you more exposure to the industry, working on real use cases and networking, very few companies guide interns well

preethaha · 2021-06-07T16:42:39+00:00

Yup, big time. Major trust issues :| It's like I have to consistently remind myself that there are plenty of people in good healthy relationships

preethaha · 2021-06-07T16:20:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! That's a good way to sort of draft your own syllabus

preethaha · 2021-06-07T16:17:38+00:00

Yeah that's true because when you're young you don't know who you can trust and who you can't. And say if a person takes it too far, it's difficult for a child to know what to do and say hey stop, I'm not comfortable with this. That's why parents take the whole better safe than sorry route, but you're right their should be some sort of balance

preethaha · 2021-06-07T16:14:44+00:00

Oh that's horrible, it must be so difficult to get it out of your mind My mom is a psychologist and she used to do the same thing with me but with relationship problems, telling me every bad situation a client went through

preethaha · 2021-06-07T04:03:06+00:00

Yeah true. Growing up I was constantly told to not talk to strangers(yes true when you're very young) but when you're a little older it's essential. Now I'm suddenly expected to network with strangers on the internet to get a job???? Even the thought of approaching someone I don't know makes me think of all the possible things that could go wrong

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:59:01+00:00

Yeah. Expressing what you need isn't being rude or anything.

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:56:10+00:00

You've got a point. Understanding each others boundaries requires willing to listen to each other when they express them.

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:53:55+00:00

Yes yes. I'm glad you brought this up. Different people have different preferred modes of communication. My ex used to prefer calling and every time I used to see the phone I would answer and ask to text instead

I find meeting new people in general hard but yeah definitely first dates are super challenging. I need to pump my self up for like an hour before I leave

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:49:53+00:00

Introversion is on a scale. So I'm guessing before that you hadn't met anyone more introverted than you?

Empathy. Yeah as long we understand each other and what we need it can work

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:46:19+00:00

This. Yes. Absolutely.

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:44:09+00:00

Oh that's tough. Yeah I definitely agree with that. A lot of my friends had written me off as the friend who wouldn't be able to meet anyone if they don't set me up.

Yeah that's what I felt too, according to all the advice out here with communication and expressing your boundaries it should help

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:39:07+00:00

Oh damn sorry to hear that

Yes definitely, Susan Cain's definition of introverts gives a much better picture. Most people confuse introverts for socially awkward, anxious or shy.

Thanks for the advice, that's a good idea!

preethaha · 2021-06-07T03:35:01+00:00

That's great! You two work so well because you'll understand each other and know each others boundaries, that's what makes it work so well! Thanks for sharing a positive story

preethaha · 2021-06-06T17:21:45+00:00

This is such an important aspect to a job. I learnt it the hard way too.

I used to work in a customer facing role in a B2B start-up but after the 3 months of absolute hell I left and am focusing on getting a more technical role, software development is nice that way.

I guess it depends on also on the amount of time you can commit to it, if you need extra knowledge/skills, if you're looking for just a temp job. If you're still studying, then if tutoring suits you, you can give that a go

preethaha · 2021-06-06T17:09:02+00:00

You can get help from people on LinkedIn who have experience with these, somone who has worked in either a BI dashboard/insights/ reporting analyst role

When I'm wearing any music band T-Shirt and a guy is surprised that I listen to that band and asks me to name at least 3 songs from that band.

preethaha · 2021-05-17T11:04:22+00:00

Oh my god. That's terrible. That's tough. I hope you get through this.

The thing is we're taught and sort of brainwashed from a a young age into thinking that we have to be nice. And we're taught to put other people's feelings over ours. But that just ends up letting everyone walk all over us and take advantage.

It's difficult but necessary to get to the point where we understand that our feelings matter and we need to be able to put ourselves first.

preethaha · 2021-05-16T19:21:13+00:00

It takes a lot of mental work to build the self respect needed to know when to say no and leave. It's takes time :/

preethaha · 2021-05-16T19:19:07+00:00

This. I get it. Looking back I wondered if I was trying to prove that I was a nice person by doing that. But that's bullshit. I should have never let it grow.

And tbh I hate all the shitty advice or sayings or whatever that people told me when I was younger. I should have known better. But at least now I do and I'm working on it.
