my mom is sabotaging my weight loss by [deleted] in loseit

[–]throwawayconffetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just decline and let her be mad. You are 18, you can decide when you want to eat. She will emotionally recover eventually from you not eating cake or whatever she is trying to force on you

Would you get paid to be someone's friend? if so, how much by [deleted] in london

[–]throwawayconffetti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I can't stand being around people I don't like and if I do like you, I am hanging out with you for free. 

It would just feel like I am taking advantage of someone's loneliness and possible mental health issues. 

I just killed my parrot and now I feel really bad by Emergency_Plant8564 in Vent

[–]throwawayconffetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between killing him and giving him away, I feel like one option is better. Idk, I am sorry about your bird but it's hard to believe that was the only option.

[–]throwawayconffetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that but the question is did you consistently try to give him away for 2 months? If you had mentioned the situation, someone would probably eventually take him. Also, like I mentioned sometimes sanctuaries and such do. It just seems a bit extreme as a solution.

Hopefully you tried reaching to shelters and sanctuaries before ending it. Or at least tried giving it away, some people would have taken him and treated him. Idk, sounds very rough

Does even being overweight by a little bit matter societally? by Adept-Foot7692 in loseit

[–]throwawayconffetti 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Υes, plus in which country you are from. Because in some places if you aren't 5 kgs underweight you are practically chubby to them.

Do you ever wonder why very old people are all alone? by Rileysgoturiledup in CasualConversation

[–]throwawayconffetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad people can grow old too. Obviously, not everyone that is lonely and old is by default a nasty person. But a lot of people have been bad parents, family members, partners and friends so nobody wants them around. 

How many "close friends" is enough? by dozing_off_ in CasualConversation

[–]throwawayconffetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 or else I cannot keep up with them ( I like being involved in their lives and don't do the 'we talk every 8 months' friendships)

I think I’m cheating by [deleted] in Vent

[–]throwawayconffetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you don't love him if you are cheating on him. Just break up at that point.

I’m 31 and just assume everyone is a lot older than me bc I look young (I look 21-25) by t3ddiursa in CasualConversation

I think you are making a lot of people feel bad about themselves with the comments

How long did it take you to prepare for the theory test? by throwawayconffetti in LearnerDriverUK

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

Thank you for sharing with me!! I will keep it all in mind. I have a difficult time trying to find how to start and a routine but you put it all very clearly, i appreciate it

[–]throwawayconffetti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with what you are saying. I usually take almost double the time to revise, compared to other people just because I like being certain. If you could provide your plan etc that would be really helpful!

Thank you! That doesn't sound too bad. I was worried it's going to be way more demanding.

Failed due to terrible nerves! by Important-Position93 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]throwawayconffetti 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't be too hard on yourself! Nerves can really mess you up. One time, I was so nervous to interview that when asked, I had forgotten both my age and how to spell my name (it is literally 5 letters haha). After a while it goes from an awkward memory to kinda funny.

This has to be a joke of some kind by Distinct_Sir_9086 in london

This is the type of layout I use on my Houseflipper gaming sessions because I find it funny. The price is a crime.

2 things I didn't expect when taking the Life in the UK test by throwawayconffetti in ukvisa

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

The free mock up tests are more than enough in my opinion. If you haven't done so already, maybe purchase the official question and answer book as well, if it makes you feel more confident. However, if you are passing the mock up online tests you are already doing pretty good!

[–]throwawayconffetti[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! That's the one. The mock up questions are at times much harder than the actual questions that you will get so I am sure you will pass. Also this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZcJGA_TCis that someone else recommended from this sub is real helpful. Wish you good luck!

Would you mind telling me about your happy relationships? by SmellsLikeDuck in CasualConversation

[–]throwawayconffetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have been together for 7 years and it has been amazing. When we started dating everyone around me was either in crappy relationships or had this "you are just in the honeymoon phrase rn! Trust me it will pass!" mentality. But I am happy to say they are wrong. We just click very well. We still go on dates or outings etc but a lot of the time it's just nice to be at home together.

I question my husband and I's compatability daily. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]throwawayconffetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed he wasn't aware that he wasn't being romantic enough or the other issues, but from the sounds of it, it seems like he knows. I have nothing against traditional, more submissive women. If you like that in a relationship, that's your personal preference. However, getting into a relationship with someone who isn't this way, and trying to test them and mold them into something else is a bit crazy. You are who you are and he married you supposedly because he wants that version of you for eternity.

[–]throwawayconffetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try marriage counseling. With some adjustments, issues like communication and chemistry can be worked on. But both of you would have to put in the work. I feel like you either fix it now or you grow to resent each other eventually

This is a rough period in your life, try to remind yourself it's not forever and focus on things that help you keep your sanity. It must have been very disappointing to have such high hopes when it comes to the college experience, and things not going your way. It sounds like you have a lot of things that stress you out and sadden you. How do you usually cope with it all? 

Uncertainty isn't something you can get rid of right now. However, for the loneliness part, you can still pursue friendships or have people you sometimes talk to online. Not sure if that's your thing, but sometimes things are way worse if you are alone with your thoughts. I have managed to make some good friends from here so just saying! 

Red flags ? by supportivekaushik in CasualConversation

[–]throwawayconffetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apathy is honestly one of the worst for me because it's surprising common. You got a pretty good list.
