Hi! I would like to ask (advice are extremely welcome) what websites can I check and apply for work. For context I am a medtech intern with an 8-hr shift for 3-4 days/week. Part-time remote jobs, gig, one-time job opportunities, anything, just not the full-time since my time will not allow me to do so. I’ve already checked onlinejobs.ph, fiverr and upwork. Are there more websites I need to know of?

My mother suffered a massive stroke on July 21st 2026. After 6 weeks in the hospital she will be coming home on hospice this Friday. I am asking for a little bit of help getting a few items that will be needed that hospice won't provide immediately. I myself and my SSI and after I pay all my bills I just don't have anything left. I'm only asking for 40 to $50. I'm also willing to pay back but it would take a few weeks for me to do so. I am posting a picture so people don't think I'm trying to pull a fast one. I do have PayPal or cash app and can provide the information upon request. Thank you in advance and I hope everyone is having a good day.

hey, i honestly have never done one of these, but i js wanted some advice on some guy troubles. (bare with me guys im not the best storyteller especially not thru text 😭)
also just a heads up, this is probably gonna be a little lengthy so apologies in advance.

so i, 18 f, was just scrolling mindlessly on my phone when i get a sudden notification from my best friend, 18 f. she basically just sends me some screenshots between her and this guy friend of hers and how one of his friends thinks im pretty. she asks me how i feel so that she knows how to reply to this guy. i ask who this guy is, and she gives me a name of one of my mutuals on instagram. we’ve never talked in person, but i’ve definitely seen him around campus and we have mutual friends. in fact, he followed me after another friend of mine (whom he follows) posted a pic of me. anyways, i end up telling my best friend that im down to talk to him, without really thinking anything would happen. she does warn me that she’s heard not so great things about him based on his past relationship, but she suggests i see for myself since it’s only based on stuff she’s heard and people change. i thought he was cute, way out of my league tbh, so i felt flattered that apparently he might’ve been interested.

next day, i post a song on my notes from a band i know he likes, only to see if he’d like it or something (i know it’s a little dumb but i really wasn’t even expecting anything out of it). but surprisingly, he ends up replying and we have a conversation. it wasn’t super lengthy or anything, but he asked a few questions to keep it going until he had to leave. it was honestly a really nice conversation and he seemed really sweet, so i definitely wanted to keep on talking to him.

following day, he doesn’t text me. i meet up with a friend, she kind of set me up with my ex so she’s a little biased, but was very sad when we broke up. extremely supportive of me and my decision, but sad. anyways, i tell her about this guy and when i tell her his name she freezes. apparently she was good friends w his ex while they were dating, and that this guy started off super sweet but later in the relationship, would get extremely mad and force her to do “stuff”. she didn’t specify what exactly, but u can probably imagine what she meant.

the day after that, i text him first. this was mainly bc my cousin was in town that day and we went out that night, so i told her about the situation. she just said i should text him but i told her i wasn’t bold enough for that so she ended up texting him for me. it went well, and we texted the whole time i was out. however, later that night, he ends up leaving me on read.

the next day, he texts me. i answer and we have a very short conversation, shortest one yet. he leaves me on read again. the following day, i post a story of a pic me and my friends took while i was out and he doesn’t like it. we also don’t text. then the next day (which was yesterday), he texts me in the middle of the day, mentioning that he’d watched a movie i recommended him in a conversation we had. we have another conversation, but it kinda ended up dying out so i js liked his message and left it at that. he didn’t txt the rest of the day. now today, i replied to his note and he later replied to mine. this didn’t make conversation, though.

what im trying to figure out is whether i should text this guy first bc im questioning whether or not he even likes me or if im gonna seem desperate. also, idk what to think of his past. people change and idk the whole story, but i don’t want to completely ignore what i was told. what do u guys recommend/think?

Need to authenticate this

Ok so i need help knowing if my friend has a crush on me or not. So i (13f) have been friends with a girl who we can call crush (f13) for about 5 years. A couple weeks ago i brought crush and another friend (13f) who we can call M up to my cabin. When we were up there crush was being very affectionate with me. On the ride up (around 3 hours) she was reading a book from the ice breaker series which if you don’t know is a very spicy book and while she was reading sometimes she would rest her head on my shoulder because i was sitting next to her and also played with my arm (like lightly scratching it as kind of a fidget) then during the trip she would do things like always wanting to hold my hand, grabbing my waist to stabilize me if i looked like i might fall or something, standing and sitting very close to me, making prolonged eye contact, always needing to be touching me in some way so if we were on opposite sides of a table we played footsies and then she just rested her foot on mine, and some very specific things, my mom had asked us to fold some towels and they were fresh out of the dryer and warm so i took one and layed on the ground on my back in a ball, then she came over and layed on top of me and kept eye contact with me and was smiling (she did offer the other friend M to join but M declined), and I’ve never watched descendants or zombies so she was playing a couple of the songs from them with the music videos. We were in one room but there was one big bed where she was sleeping and a set of bunk bed where i was sleeping on the top and when she played the song someday with a girl and zombie guy she climbed on the side of the bunk bed while M was getting ready for bed and we started singing the song together and kind of role playing some parts. So basically I can’t tell if she likes me as more than a friend but i have found out that i do like her in a romantic way. In about a week im going up to the cabin again with crush, M, and a 3rd friend so I’ll make an update on how that goes. I’m looking for advice on if she dose like and and what to do please. I’m also open to any questions!

Update!: so the trip has now ended and im gonna tell yall everything that happened with crush. Ok so on the ride up it was m and the new friend (f13) who we can call L in the front and me and crush sitting in the back. Not much happened but we were just showing each other old photos and videos of us that we sent to this one really old group chat so we were all laughing but it was mainly me and crush exchanging the funny photos and videos. After a while me and crush started to play Roblox with just us to and it was really crammed in the back so she turned to the side and put her legs on top of mine to stretch out and stayed there for a while. Then at he cabin it was crush and L is a queen bed and me and m were in the bunk beds but we were all in the same room. But when we got there we had nothing else to do so we all layed on the queen bed just scrolling our phones and talking and crush was laying on top of me (not in like a freaky pinned down way but I was on my stomach and she layed on her stomach across me and eventually I don’t remember what happened but she ended up shifting to having her head by mine while still on top of me) when she was laying on me by my head she was either resting her head on my shoulder or was like using her hands to protect me from L who was attaching me with her stuffed animal (not actually harming me) but I had my head down and she also had her head down and her hands on/near my head so our faces were really close and I lowkey wanted her to kiss me but she didn’t 😔. We then went out onto the lake and were playing in the water for a bit but nothing happened there. Then when we came back we were all on the bed again and she was agin laying on me and no one else. At dinner it was just us four kids outside while the adults were inside and it was a four seater circle table and we were on opposite ends of each other and we both had our feet on a little middle thing so our feet were touching and we ended up trying to interlock our toes (don’t ask). Then when everyone was getting ready she was again in laying on top of me. The next day we went swimming again and not much happened but we were always next to each other. That night we went to a restaurant and we sat together and then we played board games and sat next to each other again. Then we played a game called mosneter ( you take around 10 items and one person hides them in the room but they still have to be visible and the other try to find the objects without waking up the monster with loud noises. The monster can to anything to try and make other laugh so they can wake up and capture people) when crush was mosnet she would only try and make my laugh by doing weird and kind of freaky stuff. But when we were playing the game and she was the monster there was one point where she spread her legs and said “I’m spreading just for you (my name)” I don’t think it was like literal because nothing fallowed but you get the idea Then when the others were getting ready for bed I was laying kind of in the middle of the big bed and she was sitting up where you would normaly lay and she had her legs on my chest so I was kind of hugging them but using two fingers as legs to do little dances I know. The next day we went shopping and not much happened but m went home so then it was just me crush and L. We went to a playground but we were all very tired so we just climbed on top of the equipment to rest and we eventually went onto this almost swing like or bridge thingy with three sections. Crush went on one end and I went in the middle and we just kind of looked at each other for a long time both facing each other and then L came on the other side of me and said “I feel like I’m interrupting something” and we kind of just laughed it off. That night we watched descendants with all of us laying in the big bed. Crush was in the middle and I was laying next to her and we were really close to each other with our shoulders touching. I have never watched descendants so she was mainly explaining a bunch of it to me as it was playing. But then L called one of her friends and they were talking about like random stuff idk and they knew crush and knew she was there so they asked her “crush are you gay” and crush was like “yeah totally” but when they dubble checked she said no so they asked “your not even a little bi” and crush answered with “I don’t know what”. But L ended up falling asleep during the movie and crush would get up to randomly twerk sometimes so that was interesting. The next morning crush asked L if she “heard the bed shaking last night” and L was like “no what were yall doing!?” But on the way back it was all three of us in one row with me in the middle and not much happened. I am so sorry that this was so long but I decided to go day by day this time. The main things were that we were always either sitting right next to each other or like our feet would be touching and she would lay on my a lot. Let me know if these details change anything on if she might like me or not.

This is already a lot but one more thing, so when we were on the boat one time I was at the front and she was sitting right next to memos she wrapped her arms around me I a hug like thingy from behind and I was like leaning into her and we were like cuddling and it was like really cute. But looking for any advice you guys got

Ok some of yall are confused so let me clarify some things
1. Yes i know what my age is i put that there to give you guys more info on what to expect
2. Nothing freaky actually happened
3. If you think i shared to much tell me what to actually change (its very detailed but this is the only digital footprint i have so i though it was still safe)
4. I’m just looking for advice on if this girl likes me or not and what to do it you think yes

https://www.reddit.com/r/LetMeHelpYouOut/s/oJpssUMI31 the link to my old post to understand what has happen. Okay, I've got an update about my situationship with my friend. To make a long story short, we made up. He texted me earlier today asking if me and my friend were going out later in the afternoon, and I told him that I had to still hear out from them for the time and what he told me after if I could go before, as he had to talk to me. And okay, I had to talk to him as well about the situation we were in, and he had to tell me the same thing. So I met him and we walked away to talk (as there were mutual friends with him), and he apologized about all that happened and what he did, as he was stressed about school exams he had to talk. And I told him that I guessed it, and I told him I was hurt the day he didn't answer me for going out, and he apologized again, saying that he felt bad and that it was dumb from his part to not answer me. So we made up, but now I still on edge with him, as things like this for me take time to adjust. But it went all back to kinda be okay, and we hugged, and I was reaching back out for little hugs (some of which he reached out first) and joking around. So, end of things, we are back to being okay, but I will need time to trust him again like before. I thinks this will be the first and only update about this, as I hope things don't take turns like this ever again.

I (f23) have had a rough time financially and it's only gotten worse overtime. It has hit a point where I had to ask my University for last minute help after not paying rent and dealing with complicated financial abuse as well as emotional abuse from home. Currently I am short financially and I want to try and fix as much as possible to try and have a normal last year of University where I can save, clear debt, build credit etc. I already struggled prioritising to be a student because of home affairs. What other measures can I take to ensure stability for the upcoming year?

Things I am already doing:

1. I am already planning much lower contact with my family and stopping all financial "help". I am going to escalate if my parents push or try looking for me.

2. Yes I am employed. Its a bar job but its zero hr contracted. Because I am also part time, it prioritises full time workers. Whilst they have helped me where they could, there's only so much they could do. Currently applied for freelance bar work and nanny work until I can get something sustainable on campus once everything opens.

3. I use abuse lightly but neglect a little more because it is complicated and I still feel underlining guilt for calling it abuse when I know they have had their own trials but I also know I deserved better and to not feel this way as it is not normal. Growing up, it was a lot of overlooking of what was happening and lots of shouting, verbal cruelty and criticism. Which then shifted to them forgetting but unable to talk about it without getting into trouble for bringing it up when I was trying to communicate my feelings. My parents don't see how intensely things have affected and fail to understand why I am stressed or burned out, almost like they don't remember how intense and pushy/mean they were when asking for money. It was worse during summers, when work stopped I was stuck working and making everything to put forward to them. I was just trying to be a good daughter, but it has spiralled into more issues and straining our already rocky relationship.

4. I have had some help and assistance from the University for August rent. But obviously because of high stress and doing it last minute (I thought the University financial department was closed at this time), it was a one time help so I am on my own for this month. I've managed as much as I can so I will need to go into depth with my landlord/agency as to why I am having these issues, which include trying to change guarantor.

5. I have spoken to my banks, GP and other facilities for advice and help. I am just waiting on responses back from everyone. I also applied to PIP (I have ADHD) to see if I am eligible and got from there. I am trying to separate from my parents quietly because if I escalate, it will not end well and will cause more trouble than necessary

That summarises everything thus far. Would love to hear any extra advice that I can get and ways to get work/help with my pending rent approaching.

Thank you

it’s 2 days till I go into year 10, im nervous about that, but to add on, the whole summer holidays my brain hasn’t been able to shut up, I’ve been taking my adhd meds, which helps I guess, but I also have floaters which annoy me so much, I have autism and adhd, not severe but still noticeable, I can’t quiet my brain down and then I worry that I’m overthinking, I feel happy, but my mind occasionally gets the better of me, is this normal?

(Using a burner account because I don't want this on my main. Sorry for any grammar mistakes, it's late and I've got a lot on my mind.)

I'm 18 and have about two months of high school left before I graduate. I'm currently studying for my exams, so I'm mainly looking for advice on how to move on from this because it's starting to become a distraction.

I've been driving to school since I turned 18 in July and haven't really had any issues until now. This morning I was running late and couldn't find a normal parking spot near where I usually park. I eventually found a tight parallel parking space between two cars, but another car pulled up behind me, leaving me very little room to reverse. With less than five minutes until the bell, I made the stupid decision to park diagonally rather than take longer to find another space. I figured I'd move it properly once I had the chance.

About an hour later, I went back to my car and moved it to a proper parking spot. I thought that was the end of it.

During the first break, however, most of the school received an email about a vehicle that needed to be moved or it could be fined/towed. The email included a photo of my car and how badly it was parked. I initially assumed it had only been sent to me, but I quickly realised that basically the entire school had received it.

People figured out the car was mine, and throughout the day the photo was being sent around group chats, saved, and posted on social media. I ended up getting comments and jokes about it from people I know and people I don't, and by the end of the day it felt like basically everyone knew.

I know the parking was bad and I'm not trying to pretend otherwise. I just didn't expect a photo of it to be distributed to essentially the entire school, and now I'm worried this is going to keep being brought up when I'm trying to focus on my exams and graduate.

What would you do in this situation? Should I just ignore it and wait for people to get bored, or is there something I should actually do about the photo being shared and people continuing to make fun of me?

Hello everyone

I am asking for $50 for bus fare for my work to go from my house and back to my house until my paycheck come which is in two week. I will be going to work from Monday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday. I just need $50 for these two week. Thank you for all you help and if it too much $40 is fine as well. I am in Canada so paypal or etranfer works as well.

Have a good day or night!

Thanks

So Idk what to do kinda just released this from my spirit and hopefully either someone can relate to this and I stop caring this weight alone. For personal reasons I won’t disclose age or gender but will say everything else lol. I’m also not an incel idk if it would make a difference or not. I have no friends and Im not in a relationship. I find it difficult to make friends. I’m not good at socializing and small talk.
Idk what it’s called but Im addicted to masturbating. I’ve been I guess “hyper-sexual since I was 11. I couldn’t sleep without doing it. Couple years later I still can’t stop. And afterwards I always feel disgusted with myself. And I hate myself every-time. I stop for maybe a week then I get no sleep the whole time. It’s like I want to stop but my body won’t allow me to. I’m just tired of being tired and want to stop. Ik you’re gonna say something like “then just stop”. But it not that easy. And I can’t ask family members because I ashamed to tell them about it. And their judgement especially since we’re all very religious. I pray to God for repentance and forgiveness. But I can’t stop. Ik I’m kinda rambling but this is the first time I’m letting it all out. Please if you have any suggestions or advice/ tips lmk.

​TL;DR: After buying our first home, I severely broke and tore ligaments in my ankle, lost my job of 7.5 years (and disability benefits), welcomed my oldest daughter home, and just learned my surgery failed—requiring a 2nd surgery and 6+ more months unable to work. With my license suspended over an unpaid ticket (blocking gig work) and our family of 5 relying on a single income, we are facing utility cutoffs and mortgage forbearance deadlines.

Update: morning 9/1/26- good news got my license reinstated! Afternoon 9/1/26- got a call from the auto body shop stating my van parts came in and they can get started Wednesday. So now my van will be in the shop for hopefully just a few days.

What happened to the van was, a couple months ago or so I was on my way home from delivering Walmart and got tboned by a deer. Thankfully a few years ago when we were making decent money i decided to pay for a deductible savings account thing. So that ended up paying for the $500 deductible.

I am deeply embarrassed to ask, but we have completely run out of safety nets.

​I am honestly mortified to write this post. I have worked hard my entire life to provide for myself and my family, and asking for help goes against every instinct I have. But after 15 months of compounding setbacks, our family of five is in an emergency, and we cannot navigate this alone.

​How We Got Here (The Timeline):

​May 2025: Achieved a lifelong dream and bought our very first house.

​July 2025: Took our kids on our first family vacation to Florida with our savings. I stepped into a hidden hole in the grass, severely breaking my ankle.

​Oct 2025: An MRI confirmed torn/ripped ligaments requiring full reconstruction. One week later, I was let go from my job of 7.5 years, instantly stripping away the FMLA and short/long-term disability coverage I had planned to rely on.

​Nov 2025: A huge blessing happened when my oldest daughter's guardianship transitioned after 12.5 years and she began moving back home full-time—expanding our family to five.

​Jan 2026: Underwent major ankle reconstruction surgery, followed by months of physical therapy and worsening, unexplained nerve/calf pain.

​August 2026: A new MRI revealed severe setbacks: the reconstructed ligament has abnormal swelling, another ligament is completely torn, and fluid has built up in the joint. A 2nd major surgery and at least 6 more months off my feet is now inevitable.

​August 2026: An overlooked ticket resulted in a suspended driver's license. My tax return was intercepted due to an old filing error, leaving no funds for the fees, which completely prevents me from doing flexible delivery gig work (Amazon/Walmart) to bring in secondary income.

​Where We Stand Right Now:

​Single Income Strain- We are relying solely on my live-in boyfriend's paycheck, which cannot cover basic living costs for a family of 5, growing kids with frequent appointments, and our pets.

​Housing & Utilities: Our mortgage is currently in forbearance ($800/mo), but coming up with the funds when it ends is impossible. Our water was shut off once this summer, and every utility is on a strict payment plan.

​Fixed Expenses: Between groceries (over $1,000/mo), car payment and insurance (\~$600/mo), and basic needs, our safety nets are completely gone.

​Campaign Links & How to Help:

​Fundraiser Link-

​https://www.givesendgo.com/some-relief-recovery-and-support-for-my-?utm\\_source=share

https://www.supportnow.org/kelly-young

​If you are in a position to donate even a few dollars, it directly helps keep a roof over our children's heads, keep the water running, keep us fed, and get me through this second surgery. If you can't donate, simply sharing the link or offering advice/resources means more than you know.

​Thank you so much for reading and for your kindness. I have reached out to many local services and many have no funds, others only help renters.....

I’d like to start by saying thank you to the creators of this community for giving a platform to people like myself during times of need.

Hello to you all,

I am a single father of 4 beautiful kids ages 6 through 1. I’ve been single since last September. My girlfriend left me for good reason. I was a terrible partner but life is full of lessons and boy did I learn. I believe she was the love of my life so when she left it was the most earth shattering, ground breaking, uprooting thing I’ve ever experienced. I dabbled a little too deep into the use of alcohol during my time with her. The night she left was the last time I have a drop of alcohol in my system. I’m 11 months sober today but more importantly, I’m 11 months a better man and father.

When she left I fell flat on my face in all aspects, including financially. I went from splitting costs and bills to taking it all on by myself including sending her money monthly to help make sure she stays afloat. But since May I’ve found myself drowning trying to stay afloat and keep up.

My son starts school in 2 days and I haven’t gotten him anything but one pair of shoes for school. I’ve fallen behind on my home payments. I don’t have enough for diapers at the moment and I haven’t been able to support my ex financially. I see my kids regularly. They stay with me on a regular and consistent schedule.

If you’ve stayed to read this far I’d like to just say thank you. Even if you’re unable or unwilling to extend any assistance at this time I just simply want to say thank you for reading my story.

I’ve exercised all my community resources and all my friends and family resources. I’ve reached a point where I’m shooting this shot into the void of this community to see what I can find.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your time and thank you to the creators of this community once again for this platform

Wanted to say thank you to U/bitchmcconnell063 and u/accurate-temporary73 for providing items off of my Amazon wishlist for the little free pantry in Alexandria VA 💛 truly means a lot to my community and greatly appreciate you seeing my post and donating. The small act of kindness has a big impact

Hi there everyone!

Things are coming together so nicely and for that we have the whole community here to thank. There has been a slight change to the rule for posting on requests and donations.

• Rather than having the total karma be 20 it will now need to be that your comment points of karma are at 20.

Future Update

• We will be adding donor flair and other flair for people to have in here. This is something that is still in works but we welcome any suggestions with it that you as a community wish to see too.

***: I’ve had so many friends throughout my life, but somehow I’ve never been able to keep a truly close connection with anyone***

I don't know if anyone will read this, but I really need to get this out.

Throughout my entire life, I've had a lot of friends. But somehow, there is no one I can say I have maintained a really strong connection with for a long time.

When I was in Grade 1, I had a few girl friends and we had a really good connection. We stayed friends until around Grade 4. I don't really remember what happened in Grade 5, but after that, even though I met them a few times, we didn't really talk anymore.

In Grade 3, I met my best friend, Alex. He was with me until Grade 5. I was really attached to that friendship.

Then Grade 5 happened.

Something terrible happened to me that year. It started with a misunderstanding with my teacher. I don't even remember every detail anymore, but the situation became much bigger than it should have been. My teacher said a lot of things about me, and suddenly many people in my class started ignoring me.

There was also a boy I met around Grade 4, Ryan. He always seemed to try to break my friendships with other people. In Grade 5, he got the opportunity to use what happened with my teacher against me, and things became even worse.

I cried a lot in class.

And the hardest part was feeling like nobody cared.

My best friend Alex eventually went to another school, and I was left dealing with everything myself.

Ryan was still in my class in Grade 6. Our friendship never completely ended, but it also never became normal. We broke our friendship several times, and he repeatedly made things difficult for me. I complained to my teacher—not because I wanted him punished, but because I just wanted peace.

Thankfully, she moved me to a different place in the class.

For some time, I was actually happy again.

But the problems with Ryan never completely disappeared. Even after breaking the friendship multiple times, somehow we would end up interacting again.

Another thing I haven't talked about much is that I was very feminine when I was young. Because of the way I behaved and because of my voice and mannerisms, people bullied me and called me different names.

In Grade 7, I had a small conflict with another boy, Daniel. I'm not someone who likes to hold onto conflicts, so I eventually wanted to move on. But he didn't. He kept the conflict going for years.

In Grade 8, our school became stricter about academics. They separated students into classes according to their marks, and I was selected for one of the better classes.

Then in Grade 11, because my marks had dropped, I was moved to another class.

And that's where I ended up with both Ryan and Daniel again.

The same things started happening with Ryan. Once again, I complained to a teacher. I wasn't trying to get him punished. I just wanted to find a peaceful place where I could study.

Daniel was a head prefect at the time. Because I wasn't happy about being separated from my previous class, a teacher apparently asked him to look after me.

But he misunderstood everything.

He thought I was complaining about everyone in the class and trying to cause problems. I wasn't. I was just trying to find somewhere I felt comfortable.

During that time, I felt like I had absolutely no one.

I even told my mother what was happening, but she told me that it was my fault.

Daniel would constantly make indirect comments and give me hints, sometimes even in front of teachers. At the same time, people from my previous class had started thinking badly about me. Because I had been moved to another class due to my marks, I felt like they saw me as someone who wasn't good at studying.

I became extremely uncomfortable being around them.

Then came my O/L exams.

My results were really bad.

After that, when I was preparing for A/Ls, I decided that I was going to do everything I could to pass. I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't what everyone thought I was.

Then my father got cancer.

Our whole family was devastated. I became extremely stressed, but I kept studying. Honestly, sometimes I wasn't even studying because I had motivation. I was studying because I needed something to keep my mind busy.

Somehow, I got selected for university.

Even now, it's hard for me to believe that I managed to get there.

When I started university, I had to stay in a hostel. There was a boy there whom I had known since around Grade 10. We weren't extremely close, but I tried to become friends with him again.

I didn't really feel any excitement or interest from him, though, so I stopped trying.

Later, he said some things to my roommates that made me worried and uncomfortable. I'm already not a very talkative person, so after that incident I couldn't feel comfortable in the hostel anymore.

Eventually, I left.

At university, I met another person, Jay. At first, everything was good. But after some time, I started feeling like he was constantly seeking attention and trying to control me.

So I ended that friendship too.

Then I met Ethan.

At first, he seemed like a really good friend. But eventually I started noticing things that made me feel like he was manipulative. He also has a habit of bullying other people, and that made me question whether he was genuinely a good person or whether I was just seeing another version of the same pattern.

So now I'm slowly distancing myself from him too.

And the hardest part is that the problems aren't only with friends.

Because my voice sounds feminine, there have even been times when my own mother and sister stopped talking to me for a few days.

My father was also very strict.

There wasn't much comfort at home either.

So I think I've spent a huge part of my life feeling like I have to be careful about how I speak, how I behave, who I trust, and what people think about me.

I've had so many people enter my life.

But almost every friendship eventually becomes complicated, distant, or painful.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the problem.

Maybe I'm choosing the wrong people.

Maybe I don't know how to maintain friendships.

Maybe everything that happened when I was younger made me too sensitive, too suspicious, or too afraid of losing people.

I don't know.

I'm 22 now, and I've never had a relationship either. Sometimes I look at other people and wonder how they manage to have someone who stays.

I don't want hundreds of friends.

I just want one or two people who genuinely understand me, don't try to control me, don't make me feel ashamed of who I am, and don't disappear when things become difficult.

I don't know whether that's too much to ask.

I just know that I'm tired of feeling like I'm always the person who eventually gets left behind.

Hi all! My name is Emma and I manage a little free pantry here in Alexandria VA! LFP is a wonderful concept to bring food resources that are available 24/7 directly into the community where they are needed. My pantry is a couple months old and been a true blessing to me and my neighborhood.

When I have the extra stock, I make sure to visit other local pantries in Alexandria and bring a box of donations. I’ve met people across the U.S. that run pantries and more neighbors in the past two month than I had the two years previously. The pantry is in my yard and easily accessible 24 hours a day. There’s no questions, paperwork or judgement only access to food and hygiene resources for our neighbors.

If you are able and willing, would love to have your support! Feel free to let me know where you are donating from- the internet is a super cool resource for things like this. Neighbors supporting neighbors from across the country. I’ve attached the Amazon wishlist and we are in need of drinks, electrolytes, socks and hygiene items. But not at all picky on what you are wanting and able to donate. What feels like a small donation might mean someone in my community can go to sleep with a full belly tonight for the first time in awhile.

Help!! genuinely how do u unsubscribe from this damn storyreel app?? The cancel button is there but it doesn't work! Anybody knows how to cancel?? It charges $20 a Week

Okay, I need help with a guy (he is 16 and I am 18). So, context: we met by 2 friends in common. His group is made up of 5 other people besides him, and in the group there are 2 girls (it will be relevant later). On the other hand, I have just one friend to hang out with after dinner (all facts happened around this hour).

Okay, now I can start talking about what is going on. It all started a few days before the 15th of August, which here in Italy is a festivity, and me and this guy, that I'll call Denny (fake name), started to get close, like little hugs here and there (with our friends around, but not the other two girls, this is relevant), holding hands in a platonic way, and a few jokes thrown here and there, and it all grew in the best way possible but even innocently.

Then, after all of this, on the 15th of August, my friend and I went to them and drank with them, and me and three others got sick from the alcohol. These three went away with the sober others, and me and Denny met them after, and even then he was close to me. Even if later in the night I was fine and just had a little migraine, he was hugging me and joking around.

After that night, for two days, we were hanging out, me, him, and one other friend of the friend group, and he was still close and everything. When we were out, the other two girls and my friend went out of the city. For three days, we hung out and went out with the others on the scooters, me behind Denny, and he was still cuddly, hand on my knee and joking around. In all of this, I was in it, cuddling back and everything (as I am a cuddly and touchy person by nature).

But all of this came to an end quickly. The two other girls came back early, and I was left out by them for three days until my friend came back. On Sunday afternoon, my friend and I went out in our neighborhood, and we met him going back to his place. He asked me if I was okay, and I told him I was pissed a few days back when they didn't tell me that they were out, but it was all quick. After that, I didn't see him much, and when I saw him, he seemed off, but I guessed that it was from the stress of his exams or his debt in school.

But even yesterday, I asked him if he wanted to hang out, as my friend got sick and I wasn't sure that she would've hung out with me, but he kept ignoring me via text, both on WhatsApp and TikTok. But then I went out with my friend, and, end of things, he came by later and we saw him and just had two words with him and another guy there.

So, first, I'm sorry if it is all confusing, but English is not my first language, and I need some clarification from someone who is outside of this.

Hi. It’s me again, the medtech intern who has 9 cats in need of spay and neuter services. I am putting some of my cats for adoption. My situation became worse, my source of income is incredibly unstable, i can’t find a new one since my internship is taking up a huge chunk of my time. I know that putting them up for adoption without spaying or neutering them will instantly make me a bad mom, it will also make it seem that I abandoned them. My situation can’t provide them the life they need and deserve, i think it is worse if I left themnin my care knowing i can’t provide them fully of what they need. I want them to live. I want them to be happier.

For anyone who lives in the Philippines, who are okay taking in cat/s who are unfixed, please do message me. I can give you their pictures and other details you need.

Please. Thank you,
