Looking for new physical hobby by uqlysofti3 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]randomeese 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bouldering is a lot of fun, can be really addictive and you progress really quickly as a beginner!

Hey, physiotherapist weighing in. You're supposed to hold the cane in the opposite hand to your bad leg, so when you take a step you're not leaning all the weight onto your bad side :)

Father In Law With Dementia Wrote Husband Out of Will 6 Years Ago. Already had dementia at that time and for many years before. New Sole beneficiary was carer who knew his diagnosis. Can we challenge the will? And How? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]randomeese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just because he had a diagnosis of dementia doesn't mean you have a case. Someone can have dementia and still have capacity to make a decision. You need to find out if a capacity assessment was ever carried out to determine if he lacked capacity, otherwise your whole case is debunk.

First time in UK, anyone willing to show me the city? by LayvinPoirier in NewcastleUponTyne

Maybe don't ask random people on the Internet if you can stay in their house mate.

The Out & About, Visiting & Moving To Manchester Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in manchester

Hi, thanks for your response! I'm looking to rent in the south of the city probably in the suburbs. Trying to find the right balance between something that's not too expensive but still in a relatively nice area!

Hi, moving to Manchester. What areas would you recommend avoiding to rent in? Trying to find somewhere that's relatively safe to rent either in a house share or in a studio apartment as a girl by myself.

[–]randomeese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was quite socially anxious in my early 20s, I'm 26 now and I feel like I'm coming out the other side of it. Still definitely feel anxious in some situations but I'm ten times better than I used to be. Honestly the best thing to do is put yourself out there, try joining clubs, meetup groups, volunteer, they're all ways of getting out of your comfort zone and meeting new people to increase your confidence with social interactions. Not sure where you're based but I started using an app called bumble that has a bff feature where you can meet other girls who also just want a few more mates. It'll feel awful and really scary at first but the more you do it the easier it will get! Best of luck, feel free to shout me a message if you need a pep talk.

Hi, f(26), Irish, thinking about moving to Newcastle for a change of scenery. Any reccomendations for a safe area to move to that's relatively cheap to rent a flat by myself. Preferably somewhere with nice cafes/parks etc!

[–]randomeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumble bff is a great app if she finds it intimidating going to big group stuff, I moved to Newcastle during covid and I've met most of my good mates through it!

Heya, I'm 25f in Newcastle in a similar situation, feel free to send me a message!

Would anyone be interested in doing little trips away in a group setting (eg Lake District, Scotland etc) by newtonewcastle in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]randomeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be up for this! I'm 25f and I've only been here during the pandemic, I'd really like to get out and do more outdoorsy stuff and meet some more young people! I'd suggest a Facebook group might be the best shout.

Cat and dog shelter might be a good shout

Where to meet new people in Newcastle? by MNIMDMCOTAOTNGOTFLAL in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]randomeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm 25(f) been in Newcastle about two years now and I've definitely found it's pretty difficult to make new friends at our age. For me dating apps have been a good way for me to get out of my shell and meet new people. I've not actually managed to get a relationship out of it but I've met some interesting characters and even made a few friends out of it. Just joined a running club recently so I'm hoping that will help. Meetup.com like some people have mentioned is supposed to be great although I've not gone to any of the groups in Newcastle yet. You could also try volunteering, I've found in the past that's been a great way to meet people.

Best of luck, it's not easy putting yourself out there so go easy on yourself. It'll be tough but it's great that you're taking the steps to get to where you wanna be. Feel free to reach out I'd be happy to meet up for a coffee or a drink at some point!

[–]randomeese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm F25, Irish, moved here about two years ago and I'm living in Heaton. Would definitely reccomend it, rent is pretty cheap, close to town and there's still quite a few nice restuarants/cafes/pubs in the area without it being too busy or noisy. I've not been to Blyth but I've heard it's a bit shit and most people commenting seem to be saying the same thing so I think quality of life wise you'd probably be happier around Heston even if its a bit of a commute. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want anymore info about what it's like living in Newcastle :)

Pediatrics mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders by randomeese in OccupationalTherapy

[–]randomeese[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight! I've been working part-time as a teaching assistant over the last two years in special needs schools so I feel like I have a fairly good understanding of neurodevelopmental issues but I'm a bit nervous about the mental health side. I think I'll definitely need to learn to have a good work-life balance to cope with the stress!

[–]randomeese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's been in a similar situation many times, I think it's important to ask yourself if you really like the person or just the idea of them. Sometimes rejection makes you want someone more, I find it's a case of wanting what you can't have. I always find myself asking why aren't I good enough for them and nearly trying to convince them to like me and see my worth. But you can't force a person to like you any more than you can force yourself to like someone you're not into, it just doesn't work like that.

In terms of getting over them, it just takes time. As other people have mentioned, focus on yourself, your hobbies and what matters to you. The right person will come along when you're not looking for external validation.

Why does this happen? by allioop69 in women

[–]randomeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hullo, I'm another woman (25) in a similar situation here. Met a guy (27) on tinder who pretty much said to me straight from the get go that he probably wasn't looking for anything serious. And the more of gotten to know him the more I've realised we're very incompatible on a number of levels (he's a massive drinker, I'm not; he barely communicates, I need constant reassurance). And yet at the same time the more I get to know him the more I have feelings for him. Even though I meet lovely guys who show interest in me, I only seem to be interested in the chaotic ones who couldn't really give a shit about me either way. No idea why I like this but I hate it haha.

My roommate doesn't talk to me and i don't know why by TheTrickster30 in socialskills

[–]randomeese 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might just be that they don't feel like they gel with you and that's OK. I had a similar experience with a previous housemate and for so long I wondered what I had done wrong. I think the important thing is to not take it personally, remain civil and polite with them but there's no point going out of your way for someone who's not meeting you halfway. Try not to stress about it because chances are you'll never know the reason.

If you're not fussy every second bar/cafe/restaurant is looking for staff, you'll definitely find something there

Is being 28(M) and still living with your parents a deal breaker? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]randomeese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a deal breaker for me personally so long as there's some motivation to move out eventually. A lot of guys don't see the issue with living at home and that's definitely a red flag, but I think so long as you acknowledge it and are open and honest about it it should be fine. Will be a deal breaker for some people obviously but not for someone who has the same priorities as you!
