So it’s almost 5 in the morning where I am and this slight ache on my right side of my stomach started a couple of hours ago and only aches when I move or cough but laying down nothing happens and I tried to press on it and no pain is present.

I googled searched symptoms and apparently it points to appendicitis and now I’m having a panic attack over the fact if I do have it surgery will be the solution and I’m terrified of it, so please if anyone sees this let me know if it’s not appendicitis (btw I’m not throwing up and I don’t have a fever or chills)

It’s currently like 4ish in the morning and I have a slight ache on my right bottom of my stomach that randomly started an hour ago and I’m terrified that it’s appendicitis and nothing hurts when I press on it and it only aches when I move or cough, if someone has had appendicitis could you please tell me if that’s an early sign of it because I’m having a panic attack over the fact if it is I’m terrified of surgery.

I’m not planning to use ads but has anyone ever used Reddit ads to market their digital product and I’m curious if anyone has experience using them and what the outcome was?

For a while now I have been trying to market my product on Threads but I would not recommended because you will most likely just get spammed with people trying to sell you the same recycle course or you will just get ignored so if you want to save yourself from burn out I recommended not trying to market your digital product on there.

I have started to consider Facebook groups for marketing so if anyone has some experience with it please let me know how it works before I even hop on there.

So I am obviously an introvert since I am posting in this sub and for the past couple of years I put off dating since I thought it was not for me but I was wrong. In the past I did not have a good experience since the other party clearly did not want to accept my quiet nature and that did not work out.

Now I am officially dating someone and surprisingly its a long distance one and I like how they can accept my quiet nature.

I use Threads for marketing my products but have not gotten reach at all, if anyone also sells digital products would appreciate some help

One thing I noticed about this platform it has users that will literally attack you just for posting a simple thought or question that is not even harmful

I sometimes question if I am cursed because every time one thing goes wrong another thing always has to follow. I hate how this economy is almost to the point where you need multiple jobs just to provide for yourself and its even worse when your family keeps taking their anger out on you, I already have one job but barely get shifts so I started an online business selling digital products but that isn't going well either and now whenever my parents come home from work I get this constant anxiety that they are going to take their anger out on me and use how I earn low income against me.

I hate my job so much but I’m keeping because that’s how I survive and hopefully my online business I started takes off and makes enough money so I can work from home

I feel very burnt out from marketing and nothing has worked even though my product has a direct problem solver and I’ve tried every social media app and nothing has worked and even offered a freebie before the paid product

Any advice on to not loose hope?

So I am testing the waters with Threads to market m product and I am unsure what actually makes people want to go to my bio and click the link since I am getting attention on my posts but no sales.

So I’m new to Threads and I have no idea how it really works other than just posting what’s on your mind.

Okay so I am not going to type the situation since its way too long and you will just stop reading so I will just put a very short post.

Me and my friend who is now my ex friend and I upset her (nothing major). I apologized to her and admitted that I was in the wrong and take all responsibility for my actions (I was apologizing in tears not because I was begging for her to forgive me but just upset that I hurt her feelings and felt guilty about it) and she wanted an explanation so I tried to give her one than she just kept kinda talking over me and just straight up said that I was acting like a victim.

so yeah we arent friends anymore but I wish her only the best in life.

Idk if you would need more context to understand but I wont give to much.

So I was born mid Gen Z years and I was born to a southeast Asian mother and an Aussie father with European ancestry. During my childhood I lived in a white predominately area so therefore I was attending a school with not much POC and throughout the years I was called a monkey by peers because I was not blonde with blue eyes and at that time I was oblivious to it, When I got to high school and was older I than started to understand why I was treated so differently compared to all of my other friends who were the beauty standard (btw the high school was also predominately white).

When it came to dating and as soon as a guy found out I was part southeast Asian they would immediately jump to the conclusion that I was not born out of love (which is not true because my parents did love each other but marriage does not always work out so they divorced a few years after they had me).

Another thing is that some of the people I used to be friends with in school would say things that were quite offensive and I would correct them on it but I was met with side eyes and got told its just a joke. I am the type to never really stick up for myself since I was afraid to be alone (in Australia it's incredibly hard to make new friends since everybody wants to stay in the same circle and care so much about what school you went to for some weird reason).

Behind closed doors I would just burst out into tears since I hated being treated like an ''alien'' at school and that my friends at that time just did not try to put themselves in my shoes for a few seconds. I am very thankful that my mother kept me connected to my culture and that I am bilingual as well as having so much love for my Asian side and I will never be ashamed to embrace it.

So yeah I just wanted to get that off my chest. Highly doubt these type of people would be find this reddit post but anyways if any Aussie wants to say ''WeLl If YoU dOnT lIkE iT hErE tHaN lEaVe'' feel free to do so because all I am doing is just speaking MY EXPERINCE and I am very well aware that racism can happen anywhere in the world. (I had to add in this paragraph because I will not be surprised if I get those predictable comments who want to disagree with me and say that Australia does not have racist people)

So the other day I was just sitting down journaling and thought about how internet culture is scary. As someone who is in the mid gen Z category I feel like people on social media are so much more parasocial after 2020 (I don't know if its always been like this since I am in the mid gen Z birth years as I mentioned before) and that users will literally make time during their day just to find something they can screenshot and use it against them.

I am not defending things that public figures have done in the past. What I am trying to say is that it's extremely weird how people will just want to dig up anything when there is no reason for it and its genuinely getting concerning.

I hope this post makes sense.

I finished reading a book I recently bought and it was the first time I cried over a book. My friend who have read the entire book series suggested to have a song that's mentioned in the book playing while I am reading and that just made me cry even more since it goes so well with it.

Do u guys recommend meta ai ads on instagram for digital products? Would it be worth it to run ads if reels aren’t even getting reach?

So I am wondering if Meta ads would even be worth it to pay for since apparently people say that gets more reach than constantly posting reels?
