I am really good at romantic relationships. Every one of my friends is or has been in shitty/bad/abusive relationships. Being in a abusive relationship was no fault of their own, but the bad and shitty ones where. No boundaries, no good communication, no listening and compromising. I feel it's not very hard to have a good relationship with someone, but I guess it is.
That was it, all other aspects of my life are not worth bragging about

Thanks to college I stopped being so shy and socially awkward because it made me more confident and less sheltered by my fucked up parents and I learned that after high school, people calm the fuck down and stop being catty bitches so everyone became more approachable and nicer. I also speak English and Japanese much better than before college, even though I'm not fluent in Japanese yet, but I can have simple conversations and now it's mostly a matter of learning more vocabulary.
Also, I may be ugly, or at least not fit into current beauty standards, but at least my hair looks great and I'm not even putting any effort into maintaining them. So I feel like it compensate for what makes me ugly. I'm also glad I can eat as much crap and junk food as I want and not gain that much weight. I like being thin and having a flat chest. And I look younger than I am, which was a bad thing before but now that I'm in my early 20s I'm finally seeing the positive aspects of it.

i feel really proud about a book i'm finally close to finishing since i worked really hard on it. i spent six years working on it as much as life allowed me, and i spent exactly half my life keeping my creative writing obssession a secret from my family and friends because whenver i told anyone i would get no support, and my fam trashes me for throwing my academic and social life away on something as retarded as wanting to become a legit published author.
i feel like i could finally start living for myself and answering to nobody if the books sells - and maybe it sells well, who knows, right?? give me financial independence or give me death
anyway it's a YA thriller and i'm writing it in english because my country is shit and i have no future here. i'm really meticulous about finding the right agent for it and i plan on querying the top NYC agents first because maybe i get lucky and land my dream agent.
i feel ashamed to talk about all of this irl because it comes off as unrealistic and conceited of me but i am just so proud of the last ten years of sleepless nights working away on complex stories and characters and so fucking what if i dream of hitting the NY Times bestseller list or being on talk shows? it keeps me sane, and it keeps me patient.
even if it took me another ten years to actually get published, i don't care

This year he got a new credit card and has been going crazy with and and getting me nice gifts I really like. Earlier today I saw a cute backpack online and showed him (I always show him things, I like a second opinion) and he bought it for me with no hesitation, as well offered me his card when I saw cute boots I liked.

I've cut back big time on fast food and junk food in general, I went from having it a few times a week to a few times a month.

And if I have a total cheat day where I eat a huge amount of calories (like 3,000+) I eat really light the next day.

Drinking a good amount of water is what everyone says, but it works so well. I've upped my drinking water from, like, 250ml a day + tea and coffee to 2+ litres of just water, and even putting my weight aside my skin has gotten SO much better.
Like, instead of being generally a bit blemish-y and rough and spotty my skin is soft and smooth with the occasional spot, and I know when my hormones are a bit more settled (I too am losing weight) it'll probably be as good as it's ever going to get. Honestly such a good idea.

Past 2 years I’ve been having these insane dream orgasms. I’m dreaming sometimes about sexual fantasies I have, like lesbo shit sucking on some fat juicy titties and then I climax in this “between sleeping and being awake limbo state” and I legit feel my whole body tighten up like mad. Pretty weird thing to brag about but thought it’s kinda cool.

But that’s besides the point! Are you UK? Cos if so, they’re introducing student loans of about £25K for PhDs like they did for masters degrees - this September I think. Makes funding study suddenly seem a lot more feasible! But sorry if that’s no help.

>>85437Nope, I am from Germany. There are several ways to do your PhD here, however, graduate schools are not that common (at least in the humanities), neither are PhD loans. I also wouldn't want that; I already took out a loan before and couldn't handle more liabilities, especially since academics won't make me rich.
I am also not sure about scholarships tbh. I'd still have to pay my insurance, wouldn't pay into pensions office, no job experience, too much freedom (for me at least, I'd probably procrastinate a lot) and I'd feel too isolated. I think it's different when you go to grad school though…
I'd prefer to work at university/in research part-time and combine it with writing my dissertation. A 100 % position in an interesting field would be even better; I'd love to work in a project that matters to me and write my dissertation about that. Those are highly competitive jobs though. I hope I will find a way! I'd like to stay in humanities, too, but most offers I got so far are in different disciplines unfortunately.

alright tbh my body is kickin. i am 5'7, 120lbs, and i have a very small waist, medium sized breasts that arent all wonky, and im "thicc" in the thighs and have a nice ass. the only thing id change are my broad shoulders. i also have awesome thick eyebrows that arent too thick. i have pretty eyes and cute freckles. i wish my posture was better and i wish i wasnt such a socially anxious person, but i think besides my mental insecurities about not being smart enough or having issues being social, i really won the genetic lottery. i dont wanna sound to braggy, but ive just recently seen my appeal. i remember always being complimented on my body (i also have a long torso that models tend to have), and on my facial features, and always having lots of people develop feelings for me, and being confused. however now i really think im truly glowing up, and my confidence is growing and i can see that i actually am what plenty of people would consider "beautiful". yuck i feel terrible complimenting myself so much in one post but it also feels good to anonymously brag because im normally a pretty humble person.

I'm not rich by any means, I live with my mom although I'm in uni because I can't afford to move out, and we live with just her wage which isn't bad but nothing special, I also had a part time job this year but that didn't pay well.
But I have an aunt who is super rich. She is pretty old, millionaire, widow, and with no kids. We have a great relationship with her and she takes us on trips all the time. We go to a different country every 2-3 months and always stay in fancy ass 5 star hotels and eat in the best restaurants, and go shopping in Chanel, Prada, LV etc. She pays for everything and even buys me stuff sometimes.
I have 4 Louis Vuitton and 3 Gucci bags that I never carry cause I feel bad.
We always have a great time with her, it's not like we have to endure her just to go on these trips you know, she's funny and pretty down to earth.
She even bought me a brand new car a couple months ago.
My friends know that she pays for that stuff and that I'm not rich but I still feel guilty every time I tell them I'm going somewhere, or about the car, cause I know that if I were at their place I would be a bit jealous too.

might be jealous, anon. Life is too short and too unfair to not let yourself enjoy amazing opportunities and nice things that your aunt wants you to enjoy. You said yourself she has no kids, if she wants to treat you and your mother then enjoy it and pretend to be a rich bitch whike you can. If your friends really are jealous, then it's because they would switch places with you in a heartbeat without a second thought if they could because they want what you have.

I finally found an internship! It's not related to what I wanted to do at all but it's near my place so I won't have to move somewhere else and have to pay rent or anything else. It's also going to pay well (for an internship, it's still under minimum wage) so I'll be able to save money. I'll finally have a decent schedule. And since I found it way too late to graduate this month, I'll have more free months to write my paper and prepare my oral exam, so the final exam will be easier than it's supposed to be. Hopefully all of this means that I'll get my Master's degree and either will be able to travel a little abroad before settling down or get a job that pays well right after graduating. Anyway, knowing that my future manager almost hired me on the spot really helped me with my self-esteem.
That also means that since it'll start soon, I had to quit the shitty retail job I had for more than a year. I won't have to babysit my coworkers and put up with the customers' bullshit anymore.
Not related to that but I'm getting way better at applying makeup now.

i love being short and petite as fuck. it's sometimes tricky with clothes but when i do find something good it looks amazing. i used to be ana chan but now i'm healthy weight and i still look small because i'm so short and i'm very happy with it. like my hands and feet are super tiny too and i think its cute…
i know its "uwu smoll" like lainey but i truly do like being 5'0 healthy skinny and easy to carry by my tall friends. like i love my body now and i'm not scared of food anymore everythings great lmao i'm so happy with it. its nice cause during my ana chan days i hated my body and wanted to be taller so that i could look more "bone-y" but now i'm like… tall chicks are hot and i want them to carry me everywehere but i'm happy being short myself! i know my legs aren't long and gorgeous but i'm happy with these shorty legs god gave me

>>99801>i've had my short friends ask me to carry them before Are you for real?
I've met several people around 5' to 5'2'' and not a single one of them liked to be picked up, much less asked for it. Usually because they get picked up by people without asking a lot because they think 'oh kek small, must fondle like toy' and basically ignore the fact that it's a person they're interacting with.
Every single one of them literally hated depending on taller people.
>i'm tall >it's really fun. it makes me feel like a super strong amazon to carry around another adultAgain: are you for real?
I've been taller than almost everyone around me since preschool. Basically what
>>99795 said. Maybe this applies to average sized girls that like to think they're tall. But just like I've never met a smaller person that likes to be handled like a fun prop that can be picked up and carried around, I haven't met a tall person that likes to be treated like a servant or they're made to carry around people just because they're smaller.
Also this bullshit about feeling like an amazon; again. This may apply to average sized girls but to someone much taller it's obviously not that big of a deal to pick up someone that much smaller?

Not everyone is so dramatic that they think of messing around with friends as "being used as a prop" or "being treated like a servant" jfc. Do you realize how dramatic that sounds? We're talking about normie shit like pic related. Does this pic make you lament the girl's humiliating and exploitive situation? kek
Idk what to tell you. I've always liked being tall and it makes me feel powerful and I have yet to twist my worldview in such a way that being tall makes me feel like a pack animal.

So my current boyfriend of 7 months is a total cutie, hottest guy I've dated. I love that he is so much bigger than me and manly af, but also super gentle and sweet. When I first met him I thought he was way out of my league so I acted like I wasn't interested but a fateful night at a bar brought us together…
Anyway, today was his birthday but recently he's been pleasuring me so much my clitoris got kinda sore and I had some random cramps from that so I told him my body needs a little break. I encouraged him to take a break too, saying that it's probably going to feel so good after abstaining for a couple of days and he agreed, although I did give him a very slow bj yesterday evening. He did a small rude gesture yesterday when we were out with friends (after the bj) that prompted him to whisper in my ear that I can punish him later for that.
I got way too drunk to do anything yesterday but today I decided I would tease him. Well, I teased him to the point that he wanted to bone anyway, and it felt good too but I know that I usually don't feel any pain during sex but I will feel it later if it was too much so I was stopping him saying - hey, we wanted to take a break. Obviously I was also super horny at that moment so it was taking a lot of willpower to stop him. This stopping and going continued for a while and we both were super into it whenever we restarted.
At some point it seems he reached peak horniness. He has these super beautiful blue eyes, dark thick eyebrows, long eyelashes and very soft plump lips. And with that face having the saddest and most begging expression, after I tried to stop him again he said "But I want to cum inside of you…". No power in the world could make me stop him at that moment.
The part I'm bragging about I guess is that I never thought I would feel as loved and wanted as I do in this relationship. He is the guy of my dreams.

i left my abusive relationship, and after a while i've finally let myself have feelings for somebody! leaving in itself is kind of a brag. he forced intimacy, literally shoved pills in my mouth and held my mouth and nose closed until i swallowed, put cigs out on me, the list goes on. i tried to leave over and over but i finally did it, and after letting myself heal i'm finally seeing somebody else.
i've never known anybody so kind. he treats me with care, but simultaneously recognizes my own strength and ability. he loves my hobbies (even though most people think they're lame) and has amazing hobbies of his own. he knew me while i was a drug addict with my abusive partner, but he doesn't hold anything against me. instead he tells me how proud he is of the strides i'm making towards a better life.
i wasn't sure what romantic love was supposed to feel like until now. i've never cared more about seeing somebody recognize their dreams. my heart is usually made of stone for the sake of protecting myself but i think i let the right one in. i didn't think i'd ever say it and mean it, but… i'm in love!

So, there's a person who is a really damn snowflake. She is really hypocritical (argues and gets offended over everyone and everything, while telling everyone on twitter how FRAIGLE and CARING she is, along with 'everyones opinion uwu uwuwu!!'), pretends to be all uwu-uguu around people who WK her, while when it comes to others she ends up liking like a huge asshole. Especially if you are a person who is not fake and better than them, starts nitpicking and arguing over nothing, calling names and getting offended because UWU YOUR OPINION IS WRONG. Meanwhile all she does is misunderstands everyone w/o respecting their opinion, acts like shes hot shit /etc. Basically, its obvious how much i am annoyed of her. And tonight i wake up to her, whining on twitter for her WKs because she got called out on curiouscat. She decided to answer in a cringe-y way: gone full 'uwu instagram baddie, uwu so baddie just like Ariana', saying that she doesn't care while crying on her private twitter. I am so, so happy about it! Even though I do kinda feel bad about her but knowing all the shit she's been doing she deserves such treatment. She has done alot of stupid stuff before, not just cringe behaviour but that would take me awhile to write.

Omg okay so I met this guy about a month/two months ago and we have fallen instantly in love with each other and the feelings somehow grow every day. Both of us are kinda freaked out about it and so scared to trust each other because we've both been physically and emotionally hurt in the past by abusive exes and all that shit but it's a mutual feeling of "fuck it, I'm going to trust ONE LAST TIME" and it's working out so well for both of us.
He's a perfect blend of dork and normie, he's so intelligent and works in the STEM fields but tonight while we were talking he started asking questions about Lolita fashion (I wear it sometimes) and he got SO into it! Kept sending me photos of coords and asking me what was good and what was bad. He didn't get it at first but it was so sweet that he was trying and making an effort, then suddenly out of nowhere he was sending me photos of amazing coords and couples matching and just started finding all this Jfashion by himself and sent me an 831acre photo and said "omg can we do this" and wtf this isn't supposed to happen. He's perfect and adorable. I'm so happy guys, I didn't think I'd find love like this but it's more than anything I've ever felt before for anyone. As soon as I met him everyone else just faded away and I had eyes for no one but him and that has never happened to me before. I thought I was poly and romantically detached as a person and thought that's just who I was but when he entered my life, everything changed.
I'm done. I'm out of the game. I don't want anyone else ever, I've never been so terrified and so sure of anything in my life.

He asked me to make a Lolita wishlist so he can buy me presents on special occasions and make sure I'd love it. Like wtf?? Boyfriends buy their gf's presents?! The most I ever got from any bf in the past were flowers when I went to hospital and I was over the moon about it for a month.
I feel so spoilt and loved and I have no idea what I did to deserve this.
Now the best part,
My best friend is in love with his best friend and she just told me that she finally told him and he said it back.
Two best Friends are getting with two best friends. Everything is on the line here and we're all simultaneously holding our breaths and laughing so hard at the situation.

>>113632>>113609Lmao I live in East Van. That's a pretty large area to completely avoid, plus you'd be missing out on some quirky and interesting communities eg. historical Strathcona, Little Italy/Commercial Drive, Chinatown, as well as craft breweries and bakeries and farmers markets and culture crawls etc. I would stay away from the Main and Hastings area if you're a tourist, but please don't assume all of East Van is a pure shithole. That being said, I can understand how it can be seen as intimidating for tourists given the homelessness problem, Pickton, etc. that center(ed) around East Hastings St.
The real place you should avoid is Surrey

No. 114357
>>114308I think other anon is correct that I just got lucky genetically.
Also I wish I could brag about the weight loss itself, unfortunately it was more to do with stomach issues that I’ve had for a while. So while I got the measurements, in the end I am still pretty “skinny fat” and flabby.
I really admire the people who do work on their bodies though, it takes a lot of discipline. I doubt I’d ever be this thin if I wasn’t sickly.

>>114357I had to ask because most women I've seen who have BIG hips got them not just through genetic giftedness but working out too. Many of the women I've seen online who are 40" hips to 27" waist sort of proportions work out a lot
I'm sure it feels great being thinner but I hope you get better anon!
My waist/hip ratio is closer to a ten inch difference so I'm proud of it since it's in that golden zone, but yours is way more enviable to me. I'm kind of up my ass about my body image lately so to counteract I'll pop in with my brags…

>>114534Recognising my hunger cues and becoming more aware definitely helped. If I was craving something, I’d think ‘Would I eat an apple?’. If the answer is no, then I’m not hungry. If the answer is yes, then I eat an apple. (I always have one on me)
This doesn’t sound that effective but it really helped me to differentiate between real hunger, and the urge to eat out of boredom or habit.
I eat small portions, but try to eat high protein foods to keep myself feeling fuller, which helps to prevent binging later on. I also eat only two meals a day, and barely snack (because I never really need to).
When it comes to satisfying cravings, I don’t have cheat days, I have cheat meals. I’ve noticed that cheat days completely throw me off schedule and can impact the rest of my week, whereas having just one cheat meal allows me to get back on track very quickly. Also, making lower calorie versions of the food in craving is really cool too. Sometimes I make ‘pizza’ and swap the traditional base for a tortilla (or make mini rice cake pizzas). It’s not the same of course, but it does help.
I’ve been doing stuff like this for the past 6 months and I’ve lost 22.5kg (50lbs). However since my tdee is smaller than it was, it’s getting harder to lose more, but nowadays I do more low calorie swaps to keep myself under

I got hired as an intern at a really big tech company in San Francisco that gets thousands of applications every year. For my second interview, I was given a network to troubleshoot and had to find out what the problems were. I was accidentally given the full-time interview instead of the intern one (he was supposed to give me more hints/point me in the right direction if I was stuck), but I was told that I had scored the highest out of anyone who had ever done that interview before. Shit makes me feel great.

My ex gave a mediocre, borderline-shitty, speech at our mutual friend's wedding, didn't bother to catch up with me, and then hooked up with a rando on the night of his best friend's wedding… lmao
I felt so used when I was with him (emotionally and physically). I won't go into detail because it sucks, but yeah he was an asshole. I felt sooo crazy and worthless for over 2 years.
feels good that I'm currently dating straight up husband material! My SO proved to me me that I CAN be in a loving and mutually respectful relationship, despite my depression/anxiety. God, he does the most random and kindest shit, totally unprompted. Last week I mentioned I was stressed out, so he left chocolate w/ an "I love you" note on my desk before I woke up. He regularly tells me how much he appreciates me and lists new reasons each time. He really puts in the work to make sure I believe in his love, and never ever makes me feel bad for having severe depression/anxiety. It's well past the honeymoon period but I still get fuzzy warm feelings when I think about all the things he does for me. Anons, never settle for anything less.
My shitty ex sucks and is still shitty, I am petty, and life is good.

>>118886They lied to you. Tech in CA are desperate for diversity hires and they will take nearly any female that applies.
I work in the HR for one of these companies. We lie to female, and minority candidates all the time as to how well they did. It increases the likelihood they join up. Lots of turnover for them so we need to keep replacing. Most of these people are given mindless tasks, and have no chance for a real career.
No. 118904
>>118896One thing I noticed early on is that they asked me questions I wouldn't know how to answer to see how I'd respond. I'm not sure if this is a common practice in the industry, but it kind of makes sense I guess? Like, they want to avoid hiring someone that's going to bullshit constantly. In my first phone interview they asked me 3 fairly easy questions about stuff I'd definitely know, and my last question was about something I've never heard about. I answered truthfully by saying "I don't know how to answer that, sorry", and apparently that was the right answer. This isn't specific to IT, but lots of people try to weasel their way into jobs they are super underqualified for. So don't apply for jobs that require you to be really familiar with Linux unless you actually know your way around it, that kind of stuff.
Be friendly and courteous (obviously), don't try to be a douche and one-up the interviewer by acting like you know more than they do (yes, I know a person that has done this). If your interview process was like mine, your first few will be with people who aren't as IT-inclined, but the later ones will be with people who are actually technicains themselves. So later on it becomes a lot easier to explain specific details about technical stuff you're good at without feeling like you're confusing the HR rep you started your interview process with. I can't think of any more advice, just be yourself and don't be afraid to ask questions.
>>118897>Tech in CA are desperate for diversity hires and they will take nearly any female that applies.I am aware of this. My field specifically has very few women in it. Not only that, but you have to be incredibly autistic to become even remotely competent in it, male or female. In my university program, there's maybe 15 people left out of the 100 in first year. I was hired for a position that requires extremely specific know-how in a very specific field of tech. I didn't go through 5 interviews only to be hired because I'm female.
>Lots of turnover for them so we need to keep replacing. It's a 4 month internship, not a full-time position.
>Most of these people are given mindless tasks, and have no chance for a real career.I've worked as a sysadmin twice now, and I haven't even graduated yet. There are people in my program that are completely fucked because they genuinely do not care about becoming knowledgeable in their intended field of work. I've gone out of my way to learn about stuff because I like it so much. Once I've completed my internship, I'll be able to put a reputable company's name on my resume next to my last 2 jobs as a sysadmin at another reputable institution.

also, i started treating my CPTSD and it's been working beautifully. it's challenging but i'm learning how to self soothe and grow my confidence. i feel beautiful, healthy, smart, and worthy. i'm finally blossoming into the woman i want to be, and i'm the one to thank for it.

I grew up in a religious, abusive household where I was not allowed to leave or even have hobbies, they wouldn't even let me learn to drive. My parents wanted me to be stereotypically feminine and even frequently brought it to my attention they wanted me in an arranged marriage. Not that long ago, I was ready to take my own life, I felt I was too dumb and trapped to make anything of it. My parents never supported me in going to therapy before adulthood, my dad said mental illnesses were made up to sell medication, but I'm finally going and found a medication that works after over a year of trying.
I got my driver's license a while back, saved up some money to go to college, quit my part time job, and I'm starting med school next month. It's just a technical program, but I'll be able to get full time work and make significantly more than before. Then I can go back for a degree in cosmology, which has always been a dream of mine. My father was the first person in the family to graduate high school. I'm the first woman; I'll also be the first to go to college. All of my family lived in cabins or trailers, many struggle with sever mental illness and drug addiction. My mom did heroin, and my dad did speed. My mother is borderline, father a narcissist; their parents were abusive to them as well and you can trace the abuse back for generations. Somehow this abomination of a line produced someone who aspires to be a physicist.
I came out to of the closet my mother as well. Years ago, I hinted at my orientation, but she told me that I'm just consuming too much media and that I'll change. Both of my parents frequently made remarks on homosexuality and the LGBT community, my father stating it was unnatural and they'll burn in hell, my mother stating they were disgusting. She used to taunt gay couples in public. I came out a few days ago, years later, and she just sat there quietly and pondered what I said, then she said "You are what you are." instead of offering to help me find a husband like usual. I'm just so fucking happy about that.

>>118951>>118954thank you anons! i count calories/CICO, its intimidating at first but actually really easy after the first month. for the first two weeks i just ate like usual but counted calories to know exactly why i was overweight and get used to counting them. i also started reducing my sugar in tea and coffee and stopped drinking soda as much. i started off drinking milk tea with 2 or more teaspoons of sugar and coffee with four sugars and about 4 litres or more of soda a week.
now after weight loss i drink coffee with no sugar and tea without sugar or milk and i hate soda.
i count my macros now as well and the ratio is 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat for whatever amount of calories. so the grams will vary with calorie changes based on weight loss.
hope this helps anons :)

After years of dealing with major depressive disorder, my doctor changed my diagnosis to partial remission. This is the first time I've ever seen it get better. I got meds to keep my anti depressants down too; they'd been giving me really bad reflux these past couple of months. It's still not gone, but now it just feels a uncomfortable rather than painful.

i learned some coding as well which you don't need to sign a course. look for beginners tutorials. can also learn and get started on for free with visual studio code.
also start thinking of companies whose stuff you like, for example maybe you really like google. then search "designer at google" and follow everyone on their twitter, insta and dribbble/behance. follow people they talk to. start engaging with their tweets about design. asking questions and stuff design. don't be intimidated if they are rich or from ivy league schools- a lot of them are which is scary but some of those same people kinda like the idea of giving someone a chance.
oh i subscribed to "girls who code" and a couple other similar newsletters. they have free events on zoom all the time where you can network.
it has been almost a full year of doing this:
1. design something new every day(even if it's just like… a button) and share it
2. do a tutorial/course once a week at least
3. orbit designers online every day (many of them will ignore you at first you and a few times i got blocked, just can't worry about being annoying
4. attend at least one virtual event a month

Job is full remote- they are based in NYC. Founders are from SF.
I have another small-scale project on the books. But once I have that experience under my belt and publish my work, it will be easier to get people to talk to me.

you anon. You are the reason you got your shit together. I'm really happy you have a supportive partner and they can absolutely make a big difference in your life, but so many people bet on someone's potential and are disappointed by reality. Often even after years of giving and hoping for change. You actually did that, though. I can't stress how rare that is and it's why the best advice is to never date someone based on what you hope for them compared to how they are in the present. All the love in the world can't make someone do anything, but you personally made the decision to improve. Congrats on all your efforts, getting your life together and listening to the person you love. Best wishes to you both.
