I am an au pair from America, 18 F, living in a small town near Osnabruck. I am a bit lonely and incredibly bored, my German isn't so good so it's hard to make friends in my town.
If anyone wants to hang out or has any ideas of events or concerts or anything coming up soon in Osnabruck, I'll take any ideas 😂
I am quite new to this system. Which socionics best correlates with the rest of my typology? I tested ILI at one point but I don't think that typically goes with sp1.
I have no idea how describe myself without sounding painfully stereotypical. Hi, I am 18, currently not in school, dubiously employed. I recently moved to another continent and picked up a weird job so I could pretend to be spontaneous when I am really anything but. I will start college next year and I plan to study buisness, but if I weren't a practical person, I'd have rather studied history or anthropology. I am especially interested in pre Christian European history and early modern occultism. I like to read, hike, cook, travel, and research, normal stuff really. Also I play the violin and compose music when inspiration strikes. I play with a nearby orchestra but I like to play for churches and folk festivals. Never weddings, brides are evil.
I have very few friends -- the requirements are that you always text first, tolerate being left on delivered for 3-5 buisness days, and listen to my obnoxiously long and slightly questionable rants about things no cares about. I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, I might as well live in a rabbit hole. But truthfully I do just prefer being alone, even the rare texts I receive drive me crazy and make me feel overstimulated. In fact, posting this is going to make me feel overstimulated, too. Oh well. When life gives you a shovel, dig yourself a grave, I suppose. 😭
I am an 18 yr old American in Germany au pairing for a family with 3 little boys. I have been here for 2 months. Family just treats me like a babysitter? They never mentioned doing kids laundry or cleaning up after kids, putting kids to bed at night and getting them ready in the morning, or anything like that. I don't have a set schedule it's pretty much just whenever the parents are not there, I'm working? They were never super clear about what they're actually looking for me to be doing outside of this babysitting time. I've been treating it as free time I guess?
I think the levels of awkwardness I feel are probably pretty typical. I am an 18 year old American girl in Germany looking after 3 young boys.
One thing that is throwing me off a bit so far is that the topic of a schedule or responsibilities has not been broached at all. This whole week has been very uncomfortable because I'm in a constant state of "am i supposed to be working or not," "should i be helping," "should i be doing *insert task*"? At this point I just drift around and ask if I can help with things or hide in my room. They have had 4 au pairs before me, so I keep thinking I should trust their judgement, but part of me wants to bring it up with them. Is this normal for one week? 🥹
I've always been partial towards low rise/baggy pants and I feel huge in high rise, but I am curious which is objectively more flattering on me? I hear a lot that short folks should wear high rise to elongate their legs or whatever, I'm not really sure if that works.
