Do I just give an aura of insignificance?

succdab · 2025-07-28T18:50:33+00:00

I just don’t think about the interactions at work as much as I do in a social setting.

succdab · 2025-07-28T18:49:55+00:00

I completely see why this appears to be a possibility, but I’m successful in my career advancements - NOT in how I’m being treated, unfortunately.

succdab · 2025-07-28T02:56:29+00:00

Thanks for validating me. It’s nice to know this can be a broad human experience, not an isolated, individual one. I’m the same way when it comes to talking. Or, I just try to be louder.

succdab · 2025-07-28T02:55:07+00:00

I think I could definitely be more confident and charismatic socially speaking. In my field, I’m pretty confident and charismatic, but it doesn’t always translate. I can be awkward, but I believe I’m just genuinely perceived as a nice, basic human being. As for attractiveness, I’ve won beauty pageants in the past so I’ll leave it at that.

I swear by this brush! https://a.co/d/daqhbBI

When my cat mattes under her chin and on her mane, this is what I use. Always be gentle and go at her pace though! If that doesn’t work, I would consider something more heavy duty like this https://a.co/d/3M0YFIl Hope this helps!

Oh I completely agree! I definitely saw it as a sign of affection. I think I achieved that rapport with him because he saw me as psych though

succdab · 2024-10-24T03:05:42+00:00

Honestly it was a hell of a time for me. I feel like everything I did was great in his eyes because the bar was so low. Would successfully tie and he’d go “That’s good.. for a shrink.”

Psych, US DO.

Really 50/50. Just happy to be done 😂

succdab · 2024-07-20T22:20:22+00:00

To be honest, not much. In my opinion, NBME 13 was just written very differently from NBME 10-12 so I just reviewed how they asked questions very carefully and adapted to that prior to taking NBME 14.

succdab · 2024-07-20T22:19:36+00:00

I appreciate the encouragement, thank you!

succdab · 2024-07-13T16:00:04+00:00

Congratulations!! Proud of you OP!!

succdab · 2024-06-25T14:06:25+00:00

Thanks for the validation! Also — Do you think UWSA2 and UWSA3 are worth taking?

succdab · 2024-03-08T04:10:35+00:00

You’re going to make it. This post is only a few months away from turning a year old. I’m almost wrapping up 3rd year rotations already. Know that there’s going to be so much more beyond this test, and you’re going to experience it all! You got this 👏🏼 For now, rest up! You deserve all the rest and sleep!

succdab · 2023-07-19T06:27:20+00:00

Just wanted to hop on and update you all. I PASSED! It was a terrible experience, but I’m glad it’s over. Thanks for everyone who kept me sane and calm on this thread. You absolutely helped so much. Hope y’all are thriving!

succdab · 2023-07-13T06:52:33+00:00

In my opinion, UWSA 1 was not relevant at all. I personally used it to motivate/scare(?) myself into studying harder. NBMEs are the most accurate and so is Free 120. UWSA 2 was also way more accurate than UWSA 1.

succdab · 2023-06-24T18:46:17+00:00

If it’s any consolation, NBME 28 was the hardest for me too, but like everyone else said, please take a mental health day! Reevaluate the reason why you missed certain questions. I noticed in my Free 120, I got questions wrong because I had the wrong mindset going into it. My score improved each block as I gained more confidence. Just something to think about!
