يا بنات، محتاجة آراءكم خصوصًا من اللي عندهم خبرة أكثر مني في فهم الشباب الأردنيين لأني مو أردنية
تعرفت على شب من خلال نادي cycling ، وإحنا الاثنين بآخر العشرينات. مع الوقت صرنا نحكي أكثر وحسيت إنه صرنا أصحا او على الأقل أنا أعتقد هيك
اللي مخليني محتارة إنه أحيانًا بعد ما نخلص cycling بيسألني إذا بدي نعمل إشي أو نقعد سوا، وأحيانًا كمان بطلب مني نطلع بأيام أصلًا ما عنا فيها أي طلعة أو نشاط مع النادي. يعني الموضوع مش دايمًا مرتبط بالدراجات أو بالمجموعة.
أنا مش قادرة أحدد إذا هو بس مرتاح معي وعم بحاول يكون صديق، ولا إذا ممكن يكون مهتم فيني بأكثر من صداقة. وما عندي خبرة كبيرة بقراءة تصرفات الشباب الأردنيين أو كيف عادةً ببيّنوا اهتمامهم، فمش عارفة إذا في إشارات واضحة وأنا مش منتبهة إلها.
كيف ممكن أفرق بين الشب اللي بس بده يصير صديق مقرب وبين الشب اللي مهتم عاطفيًا بس لسه ما حكى بشكل مباشر؟ شو التصرفات أو الإشارات اللي ممكن أنتبه إلها؟
والصراحة سبب سؤالي إنه إذا طلع فعلًا مهتم فيني… أنا كمان مهتمة فيه بس ما بدي أفترض غلط وأخرب الصداقة.

I went out drinking with some new friends yesterday and ended up getting way more drunk than I intended. I thought I had it under control at the time, but there’s a period of the night that I genuinely don’t remember.
Now I’m really anxious that I might have said or done something annoying, embarrassing, or inappropriate during that time. I don’t actually have any evidence that I did anything bad, which is almost making it worse because my brain keeps filling in the blanks.
One of the friends has also been seeing out messages on the group without responding. Since these are relatively new friends, I don’t know them well enough yet to know whether that’s normal for them or whether it means they’re annoyed with me.
I’m worried they’ll just stop talking to me instead of telling me if I did something that bothered them.
For people who have been on either side of this situation: would you tell a new friend if they had been annoying or acted badly while drunk? And would someone getting too drunk once be enough to make you distance yourself from them?

حضرت مباراة الأردن بكأس العالم قبل يومين، وطبعاً كان شعور ما بينوصف إنك تشوف الأردن على أكبر مسرح كروي بالعالم. بس بصراحة، أكثر إشي أثر فيّ ما كان اللي صار جوّا الملعب، كان اللي صار برا الملعب.
الوصول للملعب كان قصة لحالها. المواقف كانت بأكثر من 200 دولار، الأوبر غالي بشكل جنوني، والشوارع واقفة من الأزمة، وحتى القطار كان بده وقت طويل جداً. كثير ناس كانت محتارة كيف بدها توصل وتلحق المباراة بدون ما تدفع مبالغ خيالية.
.
لكن الجمعية الأردنية الأمريكية وفرت باصات مكيفة مجانية للمشجعين الأردنيين، ونظمت النقل بشكل مرتب ورائع. آلاف الأردنيين قدروا يوصلوا على المباراة ويرجعوا منها بسهولة بفضل ناس همّهم الوحيد إنهم يدعموا الأردن ويخدموا أبناء بلدهم.
والله يا جماعة، مش كثير دول عندها ناس مستعدة تدفع من وقتها ومالها وجهدها عشان تساعد ناس يمكن ما بتعرفهم شخصياً، بس لأنهم أردنيين وجايين يشجعوا بلدهم. هذا الإشي لمسني أكثر من أي إشي ثاني بالمباراة.
وإنت قاعد بالباص، شايف الأعلام الأردنية بكل مكان، والناس بتغني وبتضحك وبتحكي مع بعض كأنهم أهل من زمان، بتحس إنه الأردن مش مجرد بلد، الأردن ناس.
ممكن ما طلعنا بالنتيجة اللي كنا نحلم فيها، بس طلعنا بصورة جميلة عن شعبنا. يومها تذكرت إنه أجمل إشي بالأردن مش الأماكن ولا المباني، أجمل إشي بالأردن هم أهلها.
كل الشكر للجمعية الأردنية الأمريكية ولكل شخص ساهم بهالمجهود. رفعتوا راسنا وخليتونا نحس إنه الأردن معنا وين ما رحنا. 🇯🇴❤️

I’m 26 and I have cerebral palsy affecting my left side. There’s something I’ve struggled with for years that I’ve never really been able to talk about openly, and I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with something similar.

From what I’ve been told, when my mom was pregnant with me, people around her constantly warned her about C-sections and told her they were dangerous and should only be done as an absolute last resort. When she went into labor, there were complications and the doctors recommended a C-section, but she kept refusing because she was scared. Eventually they told her that the baby was losing oxygen and needed to come out immediately. By the time they convinced her, it was apparently a little too late, and the oxygen deprivation is what led to me developing cerebral palsy.

What makes it harder is that she learned from that experience. When she had my younger siblings, she agreed to C-sections right away when needed, and they were all born healthy.

I know she didn’t wake up that day wanting to hurt me. I know she was scared, probably overwhelmed, and trying to make what she thought was the safest decision based on what she had been told. I’ve never been pregnant, so I can’t fully understand what that fear feels like.

At the same time, I can’t help feeling resentful sometimes. I look at the challenges I’ve had because of CP and part of me thinks, “If she had agreed sooner, would my life be different?” Then I feel guilty for even thinking that because she’s my mom and I know she loves me.

How do you make peace with something that can’t be changed?

أنا بنت وعندي عدد من الأصحاب الشباب، وبعضهم أعرفهم من سنين. الشي اللي مستغربته إنه ولا مرة واحد منهم اعترفلي إنه معجب فيي أو حاول يتجاوز حدود الصداقة. بالعكس، كلهم دايمًا محترمين، يقدروني، ويتعاملوا معي كأخت أو صديقة فقط.

الموضوع مو مزعجني، بالعكس أنا مبسوطة إني قادرة أكون صداقات مريحة وصحية مع شباب بدون دراما أو تعقيدات. لكن بنفس الوقت لاحظت إن أغلب البنات اللي أعرفهم مرّوا بمواقف اعترف فيها أصدقاؤهم الشباب بمشاعرهم أو حاولوا يحولوا الصداقة لشي أكثر.

فصرت أتساءل: ليش هذا الشي ما يصير معي؟ هل في أسباب معينة تخلي الشباب يشوفوا البنت كصديقة فقط؟

والسؤال اللي بصراحة يخطر ببالي أحيانًا بسبب كلام الناس على الإنترنت: هل فعلًا الشباب ما يصادقوا البنات إلا إذا ما كانوا منجذبين لهم؟ وهل عدم اعتراف أي شخص بمشاعره لي يعني إني مو جذابة؟

My friend asked me to house-sit while she was out of town, and unfortunately I brought my dog with me. Long story short, my dog ended up causing significant damage to the carpet.

The problem is that my friend rents the apartment, and I really don’t want her getting in trouble with the apartment management or maintenance staff since this was completely my fault. The damaged area is too large for one of those donor carpet patches, so that doesn’t seem like an option.

I’ve called around trying to find matching carpet, and even contacted the apartment complex to ask what type they use. They told me it’s a commercial/industrial carpet that’s only sold directly to property management companies and not to individuals.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Are there carpet repair companies that can replace a larger section and make it look seamless? Is there a way to source matching apartment-grade carpet, or am I basically stuck going through the apartment complex?

Hey everyone,

I moved back to Jordan recently, and honestly, I’ve been feeling pretty lonely.

I’m hoping to meet people who are interested in building genuine, long-term friendships. The kind where we can go out for drinks, party, explore new places, laugh about stupid things, and make great memories, but also sit down at 2 AM and have deep conversations about life, consciousness, the universe, purpose, relationships, and everything in between.

I miss having friends who are curious about the world and open to meaningful connection. People who don’t just want drinking buddies or surface-level conversations, but who actually enjoy getting to know each other on a deeper level.

A little about me: I’m someone who loves meeting new people, having adventures, and talking about almost anything. Lately I’ve realized that what I miss most isn’t activities, it’s connection.

If you’re in Jordan and feel like you’re looking for something similar, send me a message or leave a comment. Whether it’s grabbing coffee, going out for a drink, exploring the city, or just having one of those conversations that makes time disappear, I’d love to connect.

Hi everyone,
I’m moving to Jordan and wanted to get some insight from people who live there or have experience with the cost of living.
Would 1300 JDs per month be enough to live comfortably? I won’t have to pay rent or buy groceries, but I will have a monthly car loan payment.
I’m mainly wondering whether that income would leave enough room for things like:
Going out to restaurants and cafés
Shopping for clothes and other personal items
Beauty care (salons, skincare, nails, etc.)
Occasional entertainment and social activities

I preordered a Jordan national team World Cup jersey from Kelme Jordan a few weeks ago to be shipped to the U.S., but I haven’t heard anything from them in about 3 weeks. No shipping update, no response, nothing.

What has me even more concerned is that it looks like their Instagram page has been deleted or disappeared.

Does anyone know what’s going on with Kelme Jordan or if there have been any issues with orders recently? I’m hoping to get the jersey in time for the June 16 match and am starting to worry that my order is stuck or won’t be fulfilled.

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
