Hi Everyone! Hope you are well. I (26F) am a recent film school graduate. I am currently building a brand focused on making short films and am thinking of starting my own podcast on the side. As a lover of fantasy, it would be fantasy-themed and maybe talk about being creative with Cerebral Palsy, but I am quite interested in what topics I can talk about there besides that. I know there are tutorials out there, but I wanted to know if anyone had started one. Any advice for a beginner? How did you get started? What are interesting topics to explore, etc. Thank you so much, and God Bless.

Hi everyone! Hope you are well. I just wanted to say, thank you so much for the responses to my last post. It really opened my eyes to how toxic this red pill stuff. I am actively clearing out my algorithms to focus on positive content.

I went into this content, hoping to understand and avoid common behaviours as a woman, but it just became too toxic.

A bit of backstory: I have dealt with a lot of internalised ableism and self-hatred. If you ever looked at my Reddit history, I noticed that a lot of the time I come off as desperate and seeking external validation. And now it seems I am dealing with internalised misogyny (I hate myself for it)

I struggled with making friends, especially with other women. I grew up a tomboy, so a lot of the typical feminine things I wasn't interested in. Making friends with guys was easy because we had similar interests.

Now living in a small town after college, it has become incredibly difficult to meet people and other social events. I am not a club or party person. So the Internet became a source of interaction outside my family. I am beginning to realise that i am developing Hikikomori tendencies. My biggest fear is thinking that I am a bad person and that I am betraying myself and my dreams. I am considering going back to therapy, but it is incredibly expensive.

I want to change, as I said in my previous post. I want to be a good person, friend, daughter and future partner.

Thank you so much again. Any advice or suggestions highly appreciated.

God Bless.

Hi everyone! Hope you are well. For context I, 26F, have been into self improvement content for a while. I was usually drawn to the self improvement for men and I use those skills and reverse engineer and apply into my own life, if that makes sense. However lately I found myself watching a lot of Red Pill dating videos.

It started as a way to understand and how I avoid common behaviours seen in other women, especially in the dating scene. The idea of Modern or Traditional woman. High value men want this... etc. Something like that.

I have never been in a relationship, and there are things i dislike about the Traditional woman mindset like being "submissive" (hate that word with a passion). There also are things I dislike about the modern woman mindset like having multiple partners or dressing in revealing clothing in order to feel empowered.

When it became problematic was when I started grading myself against these metrics or frameworks. (Like She's a 10 if...) I became anxious and depressed because I was trying so hard to live up to the idea of being a high value woman. It became my dominant content that I was watching. And my dreams took a backseat.

Ultimately, I just wanted to work hard to become a better person, friend, daughter and hopefully a good future girlfriend or wife

My question, have you ever experienced this? What helps you? How do I escape the addiction of not only Red Pill content but also addiction of self improvement that doesn't help in the long term?

Thank you so much and God Bless.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the responses. It really opened my eyes to how toxic this type of content can be. Like I said, I went in wanting to understand and avoid this type of behaviour in myself as I like to constantly check my own biases. Idk why I avoided the female side of dating. Ultimately I just wanted a rounded perspective on dating. But thank you so much.

Hi Everyone! Hope you are well. For context, (26F), am a recent film school graduate with a film degree. The current job market where I live is not great, so I have decided to become a content creator. I love creating and have made a few short films in the past. I know there are many tutorials on how to become a content creator on the internet. I'm more curious to know anyone here who is a full-time content creator/ streamer. What's it like? Is it worth it? Any advice on how to make it work? What would be good content niches to look into? Thanks so much and God Bless!

Hi everyone. Hope you are doing well. I(26F), have never been in a relationship whatsoever. I did have a long crush (one-sided) on a guy from high school. I never confessed feelings directly, but I did send a dm. (which he never responded to.) That was almost 7 years ago. But i haven't really gotten over those feelings, honestly (I am trying to). That was my only experience with falling in love. Since then, it's been difficult, especially living in a small town after college with not a lot of youth social events. I'm not club or party kind of person. More of a homebody. I have tried dating apps, but have been unsuccessful in that regard. I have great relationships with the men in my life. (Father, brother, guy friends etc). When it comes to interacting with guys in general, I get on pretty well. (I grew up a tomboy). Similar interests (Filmmaking, video games, Anime, creating art.), but we see each other platonically, and most of my friends have drifted and moved away. I understand that dating nowadays is quite challenging. As someone with mild Cerebral Palsy, it adds to that complexity. My question is, how do I let go of these romantic feelings with my crush and any dating advice, especially with a disability? Any tips on personal development? Thank you so much, and God bless.

Hi everyone! I, 26F, am a fantasy author. For years, I have struggled with motivation for years to get started on my second fantasy novel (Hopefully a series). I’m currently looking for writing friends and accountability buddies. So excited to hear from you! Thank you so much and God Bless.

For context, I 26F, am a recent Film school graduate and aspiring content creator. I am curious to hear your perspective on the topic.

What do you wish Studios did more of (or less) and what can young filmmakers like myself do and work towards?

Thanks so much and God Bless.

Hi everyone! Hope you are well. For context, I, F25, was born and raised in a devout Catholic household, but recently, I found myself drifting from my faith as I grew. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, and I often asked myself why I had it. The struggles with this disability made me question my faith and beliefs. I stopped going to church. (Only on occasion.) I find myself at the crossroads of whether to stay catholic or become an agnostic/atheist. My question is, particularly for any catholics reading, how do you deal with your own struggles with faith? What helps you? Thank you so much. God Bless.
