this is an overstatement tbh. it depends on what you're learning
like really ask yourself
what org experience do u want to do
or is it just general volunteer job
cuz quite honestly if u list out "I volunteered to help the homeless" it will be seen as irrelevant
i think the reason why shes against you on this topic is because u have not made it clear what your intention is
and at this stage, tripple As can bring you to more places than B B C with some vonlunteering on the sideline
grades usually matter for first job
in uni ive been tryna get good grades but my dads been nagging me not to focus solely on academics
internships extracurriculars
ngl true
the jobs usually arent like yay you helped homeless, screw everything join us
if they know you have relevant exp
can do work
someone with really good experience but avg grades vs someone with high grades but no exp
both have their chances
Emphasis on good experience being related to the job not gving out food for free
the "volunteer work" that i do as of now is being part of student org bodies
and event committees
hmm... she slowly knows as i tell her my future plans looking forward, but i feel that she's still grade-centric
what matters most is what you do within it
if you're js attending meetings or smthn like that then that's p useless lol
you must be clearly demonstrating some useful skills
and certain type of skills
i was able to obtain one sponsorship with a big-time makeup company in my country for an event that one of my committees had, turns out, my mother knew the owner
so it was easy
i'l lbe on the documentations side for another, checking if the project leaders' documents are filed and used correctly
Is it possible for u to get some certificate that achknowledges your contribution?
They help a lot with unis cuz theres a pace to upload them
AND will nudge your grade-centric mother
all they care about is some number and signs ona piece of paper
hmm... my yearbook would at least inform my mother about the org work that i committed in
and i got my own ids for these committees too
i'll be sure to nudge her, although she's slowly supporting me by allowing me to practice org work
man I have three big tests next week monday
I am so stressed and like idk how to manage my time
each of them are like atleast an hour, so its basically like an exam
You need to start by getting rid of that stress because its contributing to your time-management, realise the importance of the tests and find out what you need to focus on and start getting on with studying it, even if you feel ready you should study because it gives you a sense of peace alsooo having tests or even exams doesn't mean you dedicate your life and soul to studying so make sure you're treating yourself in between too though but not completely spoiling yourself that you end up being unprepared, order yourself food that you like or get up and set up your workspace those little things will motivate you and well personally I dont do this but I know it helps alot of people but you can always plan out something like a mini timetable on what you need to get done by what time and try to act upon it
To ignore your stress think of being able to fight the tests and doing amazing on them and really putting in the effort that'll overweigh the difficulty of the tests, treat the test as a piece of paper like it has no control over you but dont overdo it where your like cool the test doesnt matter 😭 and let yourself know that its okay to make mistakes it happens alot and the whole purpose is to learn from them and study with friends or something so you have support on your side but really its okayyy you'll do great its all about how much you trust yourself and you know the whole server's here to support you and help you through everything you can always ask us and remind yourself your not the only one feeling this way having to go through this but theres others too and think about what advice you'd give them if they asked you the same thing and instead of THINKING about that advice instead ACT upon it
tysm
e
Chill out man
Are these people giving you anything in return?
Do they make you money
Or something like that
If not why do you give 2 shits about their idea of you
Besides that
All you can do is try your best if you get in good otherwise it us what it is
And your effort never goes to waste
You must’ve enjoyed your ecs
Or you learnt stuff from it
You gained from them either way
Persuading My Family to Embrace My Computer Science Passion: Seeking Advice
I was planning to finish this oct/nov by taking math A2 and CS A2. But it looks like that will be hard as there are no teachers who will be teaching these subjects in this session. And they keep telling me that it is impossible.
Now idk what to do, I'm already 18 and staying for next m/j will make more late and I will enter uni while I'm 20.. (I will not be able to enter straight away as results for m/j will be in August and deadline for uni application will be in July, I will have to wait for spring semester that starts in april)
For a second I said to myself it's ok I will take the subs with self studying but here comes another problem... I'm not confident about how I did in last m/j tbh.
I took physics a2, Math as, CS as and German.
I'm confident about German and math, but not really about cs and physics.
I'm scared that I will have to retake something.. will I be able to retake physics a2 and study math a2 and Cs a2??
I think age doesn’t matter tbh. If u start Uni at 20, it’s still ok. Also, I recommend that u can just self study your subjects and attempt sitting your exams in Oct Nov. If the exam goes well, it’s all good but u can always resit again at any time. For physics, et physics has a lot of great content and u can get some self studying done by watching the videos of et physics
@proven rover First of all don't worry about being 18 and evth. Don't set it as a limit for yourself. No book says that can't be over 19 for starting uni or smth. My sister is 19, took a gap year after a levels, is currently preparing for her mdcat and going to turn 20 this august. She'll give her mdcat after she's 20 and like next year, hopefully, will get admission into sum good university so chill out. About not having teachers, you could organise for personal tution. Seriously it helps alot. I been trying to convince my younger sister for tuition for over a year and we finally arranged a tutor for her these summer vacations, and she's so thankful and finally able to see that she's a year behind everyone in her studies. If that's not possible you could join an academy or look up for study groups. I myself am going through something similar. I gave A2 physics this may/june. Not satisfied. I'm preparing again in case I do not get a good grade. And I'm thinking about arranging study sessions with some AS friends I had in school since they'll too be giving a2 now so I'll see. Take a look through your resources and what you can get access to, then do what's best possible for you.
@radiant karma I just know you really really need to take computer science ASAP. Not sure how you'll convince your family. Also not sure why people are so forceful on their child in these matters. You should be given complete free will in that. But your friend is very right give chem as a side sub and computer science as a main. Maybe that will convince your family. But I see the problem is bigger than that. Also don't walk with the burden of getting wasted your time or money or age because so many students do that and it not what matters just puts unnecessary burden on you so don't worry about that. But you need to look for like a tutor or a friend or smth maybe join an academy or a study group to keep up w/ computer science and cover what you weren't able to. Also you can take like a 6 months gap kr smth of u need extra time to prepare for computer science cuz trust me at college level, (or high school whatever) so many students have to do that including myself and my sister so chill out don't stress. It's hard to make good choices at this level and easy to mess up, so you do need the time to readjust so give yourself that and don't stress. Also take computer science asap as one of your main subs
Alright thank you @slate sky and @serene mica
I will see what will happen
Also gl bubbles I really hope that we get our desired grade in physics
Gave +1 rep to skittles0804#0, windmills#2068
@river ore you're literally overthinking. First of all, stop overthinking. Most of your problems are just the product of you overthinking like that. I totally relate. I've been labelled the "intelligent sibling" and all that and I was that for a big part of my life until I just wasn't. Guess the corona virus ate my brain out kr smth cuz that's where I messed up. And Now I'm at the point where I'm telling my family to not scold me if I get Cs in my final result when I was an A* student once and they still see me as one, but little do they know I'm not what they knew me as anymore sadly. And that I'll be preparing for a 'just in case ' retake during the vacations. And I understand it's very sad. But don't stress. You're literally stressing sm. Take things a bit lightly and so hard. They're literally not as hard as our brain sees them then reacts by freakout. It's a step by step process. I tell myself 'one step at a time' when I'm stressing like that and not 'everything all together at once' iykwim. Chill out a bit.
not so hard*
@proven rover yes I hope too. Wish you good luck in that. Maybe keep me a bit updated with what happens next if possible n if u like cuz I'd like to see u succeed
Sure I will. I would like the same thing for u
@proven rover done
I think u alrdy got the memo but my two cents as someone whos been thru similar things, never listen to ppl who say something is impossible , if u believe in something u chase it and give it ur 100% thats how u avoid regrets and thats how u succeed , try ur best and grind ur heart out and see what happens , never confine urself to ur age. Not just for uni , in general its never too late to do anything , there r ppl who go to uni at literally any age from 20 to 35 , everyone’s life is different , its about doing good in whatever u do , so u put aside this age crap and focus on doing good work to end up in good places , that way ur gonna end up happy and successful , never let others set u a limit , u know whats best for u so do it. Good luck and u got this.
reeks of copium
what are you subs?
Also u have like 3 days right?
3 days left*
A2 maths, physics, computer science and AS economics
Ok so straight to the point, u clearly do not have the time to understand all concepts of all chapters cuz even if u try you'll understand nothing. I actually have kind of a useful advice. This is for A2 P4 (not P5). For physics (and maths as well ig) literally memorise all the formulas and definitions from the chapters that are coming because like 70% of physics questions in physics are formula based. And then all questions come w/ like one or two definition parts carrying like 1,2 or 3 marks max, so only from the formulas and the definitions, you'll be able to gain at least like 55 to 60%? on a single test paper. Did this myself When I was in a similar situation as u. Go through past paper questions, especially of recent years like 2020-2023. Search out what chapters and what questions are frequently repeated and just memorise those. Like definitions, formulas and evth about them. Leave out most of the explanation questions that demand sum background understanding and concept amd stuff. This method is for end time prep and it honestly works. Saves u from failing at least. Also this is the best time to skip the book and go through your personal notes as well as znotes. Hope this helps. Try it out. Works for physics at least. Didn't study the other subs, so can't comment on that. And good luck!!
yeah I have the test on electric, gravitational fields and capacitence
but yeah I have memorised the definitions for almost all terms but like I struggle to do many Cambridge questions as they usually have a complicated scenario
Do the formulas
who's sad today
dw
self studying can work
you have znotes to help you or get some help whenever you have a question
get it answered and dont pile it up
i self studied my 12th as well
well i took tuitions to solve some Q and As and online yt vids to learn the topics
demotivating yourself will only cause failure
and going to uni at 20 aint bad
i have peers who are like 22 23
Yes they are definitely complicated and require clear and complete background understanding and obv u can't get all concepts clear in your brain in like a day, so this method is just for test prep in a day ykwim. Forget about the complicated scenario questions. If u can do like 2-3 parts of each question using just formulae and definitions, you're good. You'll get like 55% . I think it can do just for the test. Remember to study om time next time I guess
Thank you so much @olive wadi, that opens my thinking and it makes me feel better

“The best time to act was yesterday , next best time to act is now.”
Facts and it came in the perfect time 💯
I also like the one "no pain, no gain"... hopefully the more I grind the more I will get the grades I desire
Indeed u will , u put in more hours and quality work in , then u WILL see results because i have and so will u , its just how it works
Rlly appreciate ur words Naf
Just happy to help , best of luck 🤝 go conquer
Hmmmmm bro i am going to say from personal experience of someone who self studied a2 physics and a2 cs it is very possible you have time left for oct nov so till then dont give up and study with all your might. Its more than enough time tbh and if ya need any resources or help with any topic or questions. Ping me or any helper in the subject channels we will for sure help and if you need resources ask i will send ya stuff i used to study alright. Dont give up you can do it for sure so i wish you luck on your studies and hope you pass with flying colours 🔥
And also if you wanna know how long i had to self study physics and cs
It was one months 💀 and it was possible
Its all about the mindset
And hardwork
With perseverance anything is possible
THANK U SM FALCON
I will send u if I needed help with the resources
And yea u r right I will first study the plan and minset as u said then we start the grind
Gave +1 rep to greenfalcon#1104
@proven rover u wanna prep for physics together? Idk I think it's a good idea? We both have to give oct/nov so... maybe?
Gave +1 rep to windmillsss#0
@river ore my pleasure 🤍 if it was actually helpful, then glad I could help
Hopefully we don't need to retake girl 😭
But sure I'm anyways going over the syllabus just incase
I will dm u
Yes same I'm too preparing just in case lol as a backup plan yk
i need motivation to studyyy
Bro I’m 19 and balding already, I expected to make it till 30 at least😭😭😭😭
@olive wadi do yk any good doctors for hair transplant my hairline is going back a bit
No not rlly but u will probably find good affordable ones in turkey as ik many foreigners come here to do it
but no one in my family has done it so idk
Das why I asked you
Ill look when the time comes
yeee idk any but i’ll let u know if i hear one
its actually weird , idk anyone who has done it
Try eating more protein and improving your diet and taking vitamins and stuff its better to see a dermatologist or something for advice cause hair transplant is kinda a quick decision
And try oiling your hair and using good products theres this laser hair therapy thing you can get too
Wait I remembered theres the PRP hair treatment I heard it helps
And dont push back your hair alot I guess like how people gel it back completely and stuff
I eat well lol
My checkups and everything are allg
It’s just that alopecia runs in the family yk
Also im not bald yet smh
Fair fair
woah i thought you were way older
married and hadkids
Yeah where im from people get married at around 14 yk
oh
well congrats
i hope u have a happy fam and life

Saddest thing I've read on this channel
I kinda regret my subject stack; I have a messy mix of both sciences and humanities due to my chronic indecisiveness (English, Eng Lit, History, Sociology, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) and I regret only taking 1 language since I know 2 others and it'd be nice to have a record of my fluency. I'm also dealing with a lot especially my dad kinda dying soon and me still doing GCSEs at 18 and all this shit makes me feel like I'm stupid. I can barely study and I just want to sleep all day until I feel like a person again.
Hi, I want you to take this step by step and BREATHE for a while. Things will turn out fine but you have to take care of yourself too. I know dealing with a parent being sick is really hard and managing other things especially studies is so damn hard cuz we don't have that focus anymore but be it whatever you're doing don't lose yourself and with whatever combination you are doing your igcses it's fine, let it be and don't regret things just don't repeat the same mistake in A levels okay! Also, it's pointless to keep pushing yourself low and ending up in a pile of guilt. Everything happens for a reason I know I'm saying all generic philosophies but it's true. And life will get better if you start trusting yourself more and not giving up. You need yourself right now, you are tired of everything, every single thing. Just do whatever you feel like will help you be yourself again and try not to be your biggest enemy for once
You aren't trash, you're a work in progress
A beautiful one
You're just blinded by the negativity for now but hey you're meant to rise back again
Do not lose trust in yourself, and like any painting even if you are a mess right now, things will and are going to make sense eventually
So chin up bestie and make the whole place shimmerrr ✨✨
We need people like you 💖
Hey thank you, it means a lot to me. I'm just pretty bummed out since I had to drop out of formal school due to severe mental health issues and I've been homeschooling myself ever since. So no teachers, no mentors, just raw-dogging these exams haha. I've been super worried of spiralling again so I've been making sure not to, but doing anything productive is just super difficult atm. My dad wasn't the best, but I still miss him and it hurts seeing him in pain.

I haven't been studying as much as I've wanted to; I went through a feverish 6 month phase where I did 6-8 hour days without weekends but in hindsight; I was being an absolute workaholic and trying to distract myself from dad's worsening condition. It got so bad that sometimes I'd pull multiple all nighters or study when drinking and maybe the fact that I'm not doing that now is a good sign haha. I'm in that burnout phase, but I really hope to get studying soon; I actually really enjoy it and it's relaxing to me, it's just hard to start. Thank you again for your encouragment, I hope things do get better soon.
regret at this point is only taking away from you
instead focus on what options you have in front of you right now or what you can do right now
and I hope your dad gets better soon
by studying for those long hours at once you're worsening your performance
I suggest you focus on finishing the tasks at hand rather than how long you study
and if you don't already, make sure to exercise every day, no need to go to the gym every day just anything to get your blood flowing
i can not stress that enough
and in my opinion, one mustn't distract themselves from the pain rather feel it and endure it to the best of your ability; I understand that it is a hard time considering your father's health condition, my prayers are with you and your family
Guy above me is an absolute chad
i think she /he means youre the chad @unreal shadow
oh mb
chad is a good thing
Yeah
Is @glossy pewter a chad?
Do you feel like you trust your parents? If so I suggest you talk to them
Or any siblings you have
If you have any
And understand what happened isn’t your fault or your grandmother’s fault, your uncle (With all due respect) is a bit yk, I understand that it’s even harder to deal with hardship when someone else caused you it and it doesn’t seem to be your fault, I would know I experienced that too
thank you, its just hard now to actually communicate with her, i dont know why..
Gave +1 rep to sdmale#0
ill try though thank you
I understand, just try your best
@clever zinc to post in this channel, please use the /vent command. Thank you!
your way of studying should differ for different subjects and even chapters
what are you studying for?
or dont know how to study what
he @glossy pewter would be if he accepted my love
demn
i am wirting as eng , bio and comps for this yeear right
of which i just dont know how to study
and i also need to balnce with as maths
well no as but maths in general because im writing it next year
how to od i become the best student
dawg
i myself don't know how to study bio and english lmao
and its ice cold her its so hard to study my guy , the bed sheets be calling me
felt
oh what of computer science and maths
what topics in cs?
ill try that out
in math once you understood the concept practice lots of questions
with cs if it's like some programming thing
i say lots of practice too
hmm paper 1 topics like databsaes and paper 2 like arrays and programming
okies

She said she like purple
So I blue her back out and left her on red
Get it cause blue and red equals purple
Just venting

It’s alright
i somehow always come online as soon as @glossy pewter goes offline
ughh
i dont wanna be pathetic
why dont u just
dm him
is this like an online persona
or are u actually into him cuz its kinda creepy
to be that clingy in public
just my 2 cents
idk
i actually like him
im trying to get over him
im just venting alright
and if i were creepy im sorry but didnt mean it
Nonono i dont really mind it but the way u go on about missing him and stuff
If u think about it as the recipient perspective
They bound to question why and start to dodge even more
Acceptance and move
Start by first realizing only u can save yourself out of this hole first
Then determine why ur depressed
It can stem from a lot of things tbh
yes seasonal depression is a thing
Self affirmations helped me
The thing is I honestly don't see the point of living
I mean it's not like I have the strong urge to end everything but
I'm just living life like a nihilist
Nihilist?
I don't have one
I have extrinsic motivation at most
It's like the only reason I work hard is coz I don't wanna lose out
If you dont have goal life gets very hard and boring and you dont wanna do anything anymore
Try making a goal
nihilist
/ˈnʌɪ(h)ɪlɪst/
noun
a person who believes that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles.
Or getting a hobby
Why believe life is meaningless my brother
Do you have a family
Friends
I mean at the end of the day we are just corporate slaves
A crush or love interest
And work till we die
Nope
True but why do we work?
Too fucked up to be in a relationship 🤡
For money
To sustain life
And?
Die
Not all of the money we earn goes into sustaining life like needs
But also for other enjoyments
I mean yea that's partially the reason I'm living
But at this point it's like I'm living because of them
Not because I see the point in living
True but if I don't get a good job
Then that's the case ain't it
And the economy is just shit
Its an if? Anything can happen tomorrow thats the beauty of life
I can tell u right now an electrician make more money than college professors
Isn't that the horror of life
Theres no good or bad job, it lies on do u wanna take the risk
Even when you are at your lowest you never know what will happen tomorrow that might shed some light on your life
No thats the beauty
Ya but every day is just deja vu
“Tomorrow is a mystery”
Thats why i am saying get a goal or a hobby
Try something new
Make life more interesting
What's HU
Thats because ur surrounding yourself with auto habbits
Go get some new perspective
A book may help
Not the time to promote hustlers uni
but today is a gift, thats why its called the present - master oogway
This one called atomic habbits helped me spice up my life
I love u man
And not rlly a fan of reading
But you can with perseverance
Yes takes a while but i finish usually
It's like I see a wall of texts and just lose interest
Not the sports type
Don't play games either
Friends?
I mean I wouldn't consider any of my uni friends hard time friends
You are in uni?
Yes
My high school friends also have their own lives and we're in different unis so
Hmmm you arent busy with studies? Cause that usually might occupy most of your time right
Yes it's summer break now
So I'm back at home
There's literally nothing to do here
Then for now enjoy my guy try playing games or visiting places
It's like a retired village for old folks
I've been eating the same kinda food for months so
And there's only so much variety in this town
But anyway the location is not the issue I'm going back to my uni in a week
But there is still variety right
I mean it's still an issue but
Idk the depression is the fuckint issue
Hmmmm then i think this issue might resolve it self once your back
It’s because you are doing nothing basically repeating the same routine over and over again
Thats wat leads to depression
Cause i have been through it
I'll prob be stressed and depressed
Ik how it feels like life is meaning less
When uni starts
The only way i tried getting out of a slump was to talk ppl or set myself to do a job like a goal maybe learn something new or help someone
I mean I just want a well paying job so I don't have to worry about my finances
Or even just talk to another person
That's like the bare minimum
How do you even open up when everyone's so preoccupied with their own shit
Do you have any ambitions? @alpine hatch
Do you consider this as an ambition
Open up to the family that you love or i am sure you have someone who you trust
Yes it is an ambition
Work hard towards it then
Learn in uni so you can excel everyone else
And get that job if possible
I mean I trust my dad but
Work hard to learn new skills that might aid your job
But what?
Even if I told him my issues he can't help anyway
I don't think he understands depression either
You can never know my friend
Dude told me to stop being depressed so
Sometimes it just feels great to get things off your chest
Isnt that why you are here my friend
Idk what's my issue either
True but it doesn't really solve the problem at the end of the day
Like an endless cycle
Thats the thing why are you sulking over something you dont know even? Its all because of doing nothing all day and repeating microhabits over and over again that you start thinking too much about life
If its a tangible issue try finding it
Maybe its being alone
Try being more social
I have social anxiety
Everyone does that doesnt mean ppl dont meet and interact with each other
Try breaking out of your shell
Thats the only way to change your current state
I mean I have uni friends but most of them are just hi bye firends
I'm just not fun to hangout with
Then try making more friends till you find someone
And idk shit about maintaining friendships so
Not everyone will think that
There isnt a book out there that states when and how to maintain friendships
You just gotta try
Dont listen to him 💀 he is making it much worse 
But bro's a nihilist 😭
@alpine hatch alright yeah ik life is pretty meaningless to some was to me even for a bit but you shouldnt draw towards this conclusion this quick cause you are a young individual my friend you have a long life ahead of ya dont ruin it by sulking around and you never know, one day you might find the reason you have been looking for this life you are living until then keep running and living the best way possible with a smile on your face
One thing that has always helped me personally in my life whenever i feel down is that i think off other around me and how there lives might be way worse of than me and they are fine then why cant i be fine too so i also keep moving and living
And remember that you are unique
Life is something special
You live only once
So enjoy it in your case
Try everything your heart desires
Do things that make you smile laugh
What if I can't find the meaning
I mean I graduated highschool 4 years ago and still can't figure out what I want
Again its an “if”, you will never know unless you try right
And I'm just in uni for the sake of being in uni
I mean memes can only help so much lol
Their lives are better off without my negativity 💀
Hmmm why be negative then try being positive for once and make ppl around you happy
I can't see the positives bc I don't rlly see the point of living 😭
As i said you have time dude, you are not a 70 year old man knocking on deaths door
You are just about to finish uni
And start life
One of the reasons why I will never be in a relationship is bc I'm too individualistic
Bro don't even have enough self love to begin with 😔
First I need to find that someone🗿
Yeah maybe when you do find that someone you might find the meaning to live
Till then wait man 
Thats all you can do
You dont love your parents?
I never understood the word love
The ones who nurtures you
Bruh your childhood must have been rough
Am sorry
Thats the first step
Try loving yourself my guy
Love yourself
Do you look ugly like me or something 💀
Yeah thats fine i get called ugly a lot too
but i still loved myself
Cause there isnt a single person alive who looks like me
I am special
One and only
Think like that
Thats a form of self love
Wait so i am delusional this whole time?
Can someone else be me pls
Why hurt me so

Fuck now am sad
Okay i got a look at the mirror
Nah i look beautiful
I wont believe your words mf
And I would prob take being them 
I guess yea but still sucks to be me :/
No matter how hard I work I'll still be useless af compared to everyone else
If I don't compare I don't have the motivation to suceed
But if I compare I'll just get depressed
Great just what I needed someone posted on my uni's subreddit where this guy had like 8 internships
Nice daily affirmation to remind me how ✨useless✨ I am
very true
Hey, somebody kill me
Please, it's muffin time
Have you had a muffin today?
I wanna die, die, die 
Bro @alpine hatch
A lot of the stuff you described really resonated with me
If it makes you feel better, I go through the exact same thing almost every day
Every day being a blur with the same thing happening every day over and over
With not many things that bring you joy
The goal thing that sdmale and greenfalcon said is right, but it's hard if you have no idea what you want
Ik you said you have social anxiety, but one thing you gotta understand about being in uni is that everyone feels the same way
Sometimes people decide to take the first step and talk to someone else
And sometimes they stay in silence and let things go on as they are
All you have to do is take that first step
It worked out for me and it can work out for you as well
Whenever I'm spending time with the friends I made in uni, the deja vu feeling of every day being the same goes away for me
So just put yourself out there
It might go wrong
But I'd say that's better than nothing happening at all
But everyone already have their own small groups
I will always be an outsider and a background friend in a friend group
It's like the harder I try the worse it gets
But I don't think socializing is the main issue coz everyone is bound to have some alone time during uni
It's just me not capable enough of handling my emotions here
I mean I think I have enough uni friends but just rarely any hard time ones
Do I really need more :')
I'd say so
In fact you already have an opening
Surely someone among your hi-bye friends is actually interesting to you
Have a conversation with them
Yes this
Do you have experience 👀
but what conversation starters do u have besides the basics like where are you from etc etc
if from the same course then that might be easier a lil
but what about friends from diff courses?
u have any advice on dat part
I see dac is planning
I see dac trynna pick up uk dudes
I for sure will
i admire your optimism
have you seen hungarian girls bro @glossy pewter
if you manage to pull one you must tell me bro
how old is student ig
ayo
I am very sure it’s impossible 
try tho
and tell me outcome
;)
i have evidence
or if u r alrdy talking about something and want to continue it use the five Ws ngl it helps
yeah just go with the flow
Five Ws?
Ohhhh
What where which when and why
who, what, where, when, and why
it hugely depends on the person ur talking to
I got 4/5
true, cuz if u r extroverted and the person ur talking to is the same wont be that awkward
well then thats an issue
and if 1 party becomes nervous u will make the convo awkward
true i havee seen that alot
very true indeed
its all on likes and dislikes cuz ppl only find the convo interesting if its something related to them
and they open up
if the other person dislikes it yes
yeah and keep giving them inputs that ur following if not they will think ur not interested
Real
The best thing is too say the things that genuinely come to mind
Unless if it's something inappropriate or random
💀
i disagree u should always know what to say at the ryt time at the ryt place
cuz if u dont u will mess up
Most of the times people literally don't care what you say
But ye you are Right tho
Usually just push yourself to initiate a conversation or continue it
It's like practice
Then eventually becomes a habit then you good 👍
Usually you gotta also look if the person is comfortable enough
yup it all comes with experience the more u talk to ppl the more u know how
and not make the other party nervous
wtf? really
Not anyone outside the family
r u gud lad
u have never talk to a girl irl except ur family
School was pretty strict bout this
this is the 1st time am hearing this
I've talked to some females on discord
Nah 💯% haven't
I see
I have done a small few talks with females maybe
But no friends
Nothing
for me i can srt also with anyone but it depends if i need to and if it peaks my interest
gl man
I've never done a whole conversation. But maybe 10 seconds max
For females
So yeah idk lol
aahh that i thought ur fellow passenger
That's why I also joined a vc to see female activity
I usually do that 
gud enough
Bruh
Don't mean to sound like a weirdo
But I have no idea
Like you joined a vc to talk to females
ngl pretty boring
NO not like that bruh
Then?
why r we talking in venting come chat lounge
You joined a class to learn how to talk to females
Socialize and increase my extroverted skills
ic ic
Never had a class with females 🤷♂️
Nahh it was strictly divided
Yeah no that's not what I'm talking about
I'm talking about like initially
You can talk to them day 1 for example and have a semi-enjoyable conversation
But then on day 2, you don't try another conversation and go back to your introvert tendencies
That potential friendship will go back to a hi-bye thing
like all boys in one class, all girls in another? 😭
damn beo
Are you chai
Our school was divided into two separate buildings lol
One for the Bois and for the females.
goddamn 😭
This is just sad tbh
It's raising a lot of people who have no clue how to communicate with the opposite gender
real
(me tbh)
Been there buddy
This is gonna sound really stupid but have you been eating and sleeping well recently
It's the easiest thing to change that makes quite a bit of impact on mood
I usually don't count naps because uninterrupted sleep hits different
:// I'm not really sure how to help but I have been there man
I realised I wasn't eating enough at all (which I'm starting to do again) and I just ate a lot more takeout and ready food than I normally would simply to get my appetite back up
And then once I could eat more I focused on eating healthy
Don't be too harsh on yourself in the meantime
Hmm fair enough
Do you feel like you can still enjoy some things tho?
Music or hobbies or stuff like that
Or is it constant
Imo
Try to decrease time spent on ur mobile if it's a little much
It helps
Ya know what i mean
But really you should consider it
It has a major effect on this
It definitely does
Does your uni have a counselling service that's not impossible to get to?
Hope it gets better soon :)
Surely you can do it online tho?
It's not a solution by any means
But it can help a little
Check it out and see
Idk about yours but ours takes ages to get through but I had enough of a breakdown at student support that they got me a referral
It's not always a linear path, life has its ups and downs
Ah damn that's really good then
Considering how many people work from home now, they would probably even do them online regardless of where you are
Trust me it comes from somewhere and that's not as shallow as you think
Maybe I'm just projecting but I thought the same and in hindsight oh boi was it bad
In time you will
From around February to April I had a really shit phase, didn't really care for anything, barely made it out of the house 3 days a week, and if I was out I'd be out for so long so I didn't have to come back and overthink
I'd come back home at 11 pm and just sleep
Didn't see the point in living really
By the time I reached out for help it must've been April
But it took a long time for me to realise that it wasn't just another feeling like the dumps and was actually a problem
That's good :) keep the energy going
It's much easier to not stop than to pick it up from nothing
Like very temporary fun
Yeah
Overthinking this?
fake fun
It may not help but lack of it definitely makes it worse if you're not rested
I've always been this way and always overthink😂 it's very obvious when I talk to my sister and my mum that they just don't extrapolate shit that far ahead
Hmm
Also youre always welcome to DM me whenever you need it
you stressed out or is it just like that
I see
I'm fully falling asleep with my phone in my hand tho so I'm gonna give in
But anytime you want someone around just text me
Don't have all the solutions but I'm happy to listen
Dw about it, I know how isolating it can feel
they both will ruin you
dont listen to them
a sensation of being lost?
dk what to do
Oh its fine @unreal shadow everyone has been there they just dont wanna think anymore it’s frustrating sometimes
Only way to get rid of it
Is to get busy
Or do something
dont ruin him greenfalcon
similar to what i mean
Dahhhh it must be rough i think you are overworking yourself my friend
Try chilling out a bit
Talk to your old friends since you are back home
leave the free dopamine out
detox yourself
thats one thing
usually happens with the free dope
Yk my life has felt much nicer and fullfilling ever since i came back to my hometown and reconnected with genuinely loving and nicest ppl
sense of dullness has gone away
mine grows but
For now if you are still overthinking try getting off discord and have a nice nap
by just connecting with ppl
What about Now?
Its late for ya
Staying up late also leads to unnecessary thoughts
mostly its empty time
Since you have a lot of time on your hands at these times
when u dont do smth u have time to think and overthink
Ikr
me sleeping at 4 am
I see basically imagination is running wild?

Bro fr fr tho😂
hello
Thats what you think about?
Yea Same usually but i feel sometimes like this much noise helps quieting my mind
good mindset tbh
for me
Why is it sad then
I dont listen
i like me own tunes
same
you sometimes become too dependent on music for your moods
Yeah ik your taste is impeccable
Hmmm so reality?
i like that
Oh so i was close 
sometimes it gets me high or tries to kill me thats reality to me
But tbh am gonna tell you the truth @unreal shadow its something we cant control
Ik you are muslim
Thinking is beautiful creation by allah
As you said
i like where ur going
are u guys talking about music addiction or smtnhg
Which we must cope with
Remember its not only you
Everyone around youev
Even me
Think about reality
Thats stress
Extreme stress
It will affect you dude
it will
i have 2 different voices in my head
both disagree
Is it headaches? Cause if it is get yourself checked out cause migraines (i have them) can be treated (this is a side note)
i use these 2 voices to make my own decisions and think
i have this
Its a distraction
Many ppl fall for this nowadays idk why
i have this
last night i had a discord nightmare
Or take sleeping pills
no dont
Only under a doctors prescription
dont take pills
u dont wanna be dependant
i have insomnia
and literally cant turn myselfoff
No but for this issue it can affect him later on
but i just lie down and close my eyes
So its better to take this step
as rest atleast
my doc did diagnose it as anxiety though
i dont know how
good
is it anxiety ur tackling
It is most likely stress and overworking or anxiety dude so best way to get rid of it is you just as you always say in this very channel to other people
Clear your head
Try relaxing
totally agree
except @glossy pewter
it aint that easy
Cause it is affecting you
u wont know how to
Care for your mental health my man its very important
true
Yourself first then the rest later
my mum says i dont care if you dont become anything in life just dont go crazy or itll spoil ur whole life
and i agree with her
Okay sorry that was an alternative thing for you get a better night sleep if it was affecting you
Anyone have save my exams ict and cs notes?
I have a drive i will send wait a bit
helpful💕
Thanks a lot
just admiring...
I sent in chat lounge pls dont ask these questions here again

Why being sorry?

any neagtivity or positivuty could root to it
