So I've been at SFU for about 4 years now, and every single connection I've made that's more than just brief acquaintances are international students, not a single Canadian citizen like me here.

Not only is it harder to go from causal friend circles to 1-1 close friends because I can't speak their language or can't relate to them about getting PR and all that. Over the semesters I watch my friends graduate and return to their home country, and I'll never see them again. 3 people from my current main friend group are graduating next week, and all of them are leaving Vancouver later this year. Sometimes after saying goodbye at the airport I can't help but felt having my time wasted with them all this time when I could had been spending time with people that would be around in Vancouver long term.

I want to make connections that will last for decades to come since I had no friends from high school, but all the people that are from here I find are extremely close off, and and happy with their little groups of 2-3. Exceptions are mostly creepy awkward lone wolves that most people avoid for good reasons. Even when vibes are matching with someone they will never introduce me to their friends or it will be very hard to schedule meetups, so I never become a priority for them. (Which lead to connection dying off after max 2 semesters later)

What I would do to be in a typical Asian CBC friend group that's all about late night hot pot/Zedd /badminton/bubble tea/board games/Climbing/Helldivers etc....sigh.

I read about the rules of thirds and see some guys wearing cropped jackets and all that which are above the waistline.

I happens to have a overshirt that is so long I look like im wearing a miniskirt. I took it to a local tailor and ask them to crop it at the waistline.

And they acted like im crazy, asked me "are you sure?" Like 5 times. And then was like sure I guess whatever you want.

Is it a bad look? Whats wrong with it?

whenever I tried to create a fidelity account using my partner ID it just says it can't help me and ask me to contact fidelity via phone. But when I try calling them it literally starts by asking me to punch in some code or ID or whatever which I have no clue what's it about. I can't get a single human to help me.
