Hi Guys,
I just finished my International AL exams last month and I'm planning to take a gap year before going to uni abroad because I haven't got good offers and my results are still pending and need time to properly make a uni application.

In the meantime I find myself bored at home and I've seen numerous reels about sites like Usertesting .com and so on who let you test websites and AI agents etc and make an income. The issue is that most of the sites are either full or just outright will not let me receive payments or even create an account as a Sri Lankan.

I have a Paypal connected to my combank account but most of these sites dont let me even select paypal saying its not available in my region, a few support payoneer but in that setup process I realized payoneer is for businesses and they were asking me a lot of questions regarding my hypothetical business and I didnt wanna lie about that.

I'm 19 and I basically only have A-Level knowledge so most companies wont give me internships as they are looking for people with at least an undergrad degree or are in first year of uni.

Do any of you know of any good user testing sites or activities that will let me earn a moderate income as a student which won't have an issue with me being a Sri Lankan or any other way I can use my free time productively and earn some cash? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi everyone, before I start let me give some context. I’m a M19 and I’ve barely had interactions with girls because I went to an all boys school up until 2024 and after which I joined my current school for A-Levels which is mixed. I met a girl in the first few months and got really close with her because it was the first proper friendship I’d had with a girl. A couple of weeks before Christmas I took her out to watch a movie and asked her to be my gf. She said yes and it felt amazing like I felt so happy. Happier than ive ever felt before. That lasted a week. A couple of days before Christmas I got a text from her mom asking me to never talk to her again because she didn’t like me or something. I got a text from her through her friend saying we should still date but keep it a secret from her mom. Once school started in Jan I hoped that everything would be back to normal but when I saw her again she said she can’t date me and that was it. I tried and tried to start talking to her again and eventually around Feb I got a note in my locker saying “I don’t love you anymore please say away from me and never speak to me again” after that I was obviously properly devastated. She also accused me in the same note of stalking her friend which I didn’t do. So after few months I accepted my fate and moved on. By then I was blocked on Instagram by her. Around October last year she unblocked me and sent a follow request and I accepted and followed back and that was it. She later began liking my stories etc but I didn’t think much of it. We had a levels and once that was done we had prom at school. At prom, she asked me to dance with her but I declined. Before that also at school she continuously came up to me trying to start a conversation but I resisted. All my friends who’ve known her for longer before I joined that school told me she’s weird and has done this to other guys and stay away etc. even during the two weeks we actually dated. I always felt she was misunderstood and that she understood me as well and I thought we were pretty good together. After the stalking accusations I began to properly hate her which is why I didn’t give in to her conversation starters and all but lately it’s been getting a bit lonely so I felt myself slowly giving in and talking with her. I promised myself I wouldn’t date her and my friends are also saying I shouldn’t. Yesterday was our high school graduation. She asked me to come talk with her and said “no hard feelings right?” To which I replied no. She then hugged me and walked off without another word. My friends told me to block her from my insta and forget about her. I’m usually not very attractive nor do I receive female attention. I was very reluctant to properly cut her off because she held a special place in my heart as the only girl who liked me romantically even for a couple of weeks so blocking her meant I was back at square one. I have many guy friends so I’m usually not alone but I miss that kind of affection you’d only get from a girl. I’m still 19 and there’s millions of opportunities out in the world for me to meet another but I fear that may never happen because I’m not attractive. Technically neither was she and some part of me thinks she only choose me because I liked her and if a more attractive guy asked her out she’d abandon me. I gave in to my friends pressure and blocked her last night but I regret it. I miss the weird satisfaction of her seeing my stories and being updated with my life ( she herself doesn’t post much so idk if I get the same feeling) how do I navigate this? Should I block her and forget her or should I go back into this mess and risk getting heartbroken again because at this point I’m 50/50 on both while my friends absolutely tell me to cut her off. What do you think? I know I’m crying over a girl that I haven’t properly spoken to since December of 2024 and it sounds pathetic in my head but some part of me just misses the fact I’ll never really see her again because we will be traveling to different parts of the world for uni so my anxiety says I might lose the only girl who loved me
