Okay so I’m going to try and keep this short,I’ve always been interested in neurosurgery, and a neurosurgeon that mentors me recommended this book.

I HATE IT SOOO MUCH, I’m at least trying to finish it out of respect for the doctor that recommended it but it feels like such a drag. If this was the first book I read about medicine then I’d probably think twice and not in a good way?

My issue isn’t with the speciality, if anything I still love it but my issue is with the writer. The second I got to the part he mentioned his wife all I could think is “I’m surprised she hasn’t divorced him” just to read in the next line that she has but he’s remarried.

This book has been recommended so many times and now I’m concerned I’m the only person med who’s mind literally churns at the mention of this book 😭

Hi, I’m looking for anyone who rollerblades in Dundee 😭 I’m a beginner and too nervous to go out on my own and fall alone my face

In short, I hate the way make up feels but I can’t lie and say people don’t treat me differently with it on.

almost EVERYONE around me is nicer but I’m constantly irritated with it on my face. And I get such an uncomfortable feeling when looking in the mirror, it almost feels uncanny.

Now I’ve been trying to pick my struggle on whether I want to be overstimulated the whole day or overlooked the whole day?

So I always find myself in a dilemma when I make the first move.

Im autistic for one so I tend to be a bit more forward with showing interest or attraction both consciously or unconsciously.
Usually men are surprised when I don’t play hard to get, I respond immediately if I see the message as I never understood why people would wait if they are with their phones?

But once I notice I’m putting majority of the effort, I detach just as quickly and they are just as surprised.

I have a guy friend of mine who I made the first move with too but he claimed he wasn’t ready for a relationship yet but would like to be fwb and I refused and offered platonic friendship to which he agreed but once in a while still makes attempts to which I shut down, he happened to go through my phone and noticed I get hit on and dm’d very often.

He got upset about it and we haven’t spoken in a while as I haven’t reached out as I don’t believe I did anything wrong? And everyone has the right to go after whoever.

Now I don’t think I’m unattractive but I believe I might be coming off desperate but that’s how I am, I enjoy putting effort as I do the same thing for my friends as well?

Now examples of how I’d usually make the first move:

“You’re good looking, and single too I hope?”

Or if he’s talking I either just stare at his lips back at him and smile or I tell them that their looks is too distracting to focus on what they’re saying

I also tend to buy gifts or planning out the dates

To keep things to the point, my parents and friends think that I’m autistic because I don’t have enough faith?

I don’t really know how to feel, Yh it’s difficult sometimes but I don’t think anything is inherently wrong with me that needs to be fixed. But I feel embarrassed about it because each time I mention it my friends or family tell me to stop if not it may come to pass??

Idk if I’m doing something wrong by being ok with it and accepting support for it or if they are right and I need to have faith and “pray it away “

I honestly thought I had it all figured out but apparently it’s getting worse and I didn’t know it could.

Apparently the rate at which I grind my teeth while I sleep has gotten more frequent and I’ve got less energy and have been sleeping more (12 hours or so) .

I really don’t know what to do, I got my diagnosis over a year ago but it seems to have only gotten worse.

I’ve been talking to this guy for a couple of weeks (he dm’d me), and I think he’s been pretty sweet. However he does come off as quiet and introverted.

At first he left me on seen for a couple days and said he didn’t think I was actually interested in him or if I was just being nice and that I didn’t have to pretend (I straight up told him when he dm’d that I 💯 find him attractive) but he was still pretty hesitant and left me on seen again. So I just gave up on it.

He messaged again, and said he’s still interested if I’m sure and if he doesn’t make me uncomfortable.

So I agreed and had a call, and I noticed he seemed shy so I teased him a bit just for him to switch up and flirt back and things got heated over the phone which caught me off guard since the roles switched and I became a bit flustered.

Now I’m wondering if he was really shy or just uninterested? Or can introverted or shy guys switch up like that? (Because if yes I think I’ve officially discovered a new type lol)

Most importantly should I be concerned about being left on seen or…

I posted here some months ago and it seemed like the only happy married women were married to other women…..

Need some advice because I'm genuinely losing my mind with Currys.
I bought an HP laptop less than a year ago and it's now stopped working TWICE within that year.
The first time it broke, I took it in for repair. Fast forward a few months and the exact same issue happened again. I contacted customer service and was told I was eligible for a replacement and should go to the store to collect it.
So I go all the way to the store expecting a replacement, only to find out that no replacement had ever been requested. Instead, the store had booked it in as another repair.
It gets better.
When I questioned this, they told me a replacement couldn't be authorised because my first repair was only a software repair involving Microsoft updates. The problem is that this isn't what I was originally told. During the first repair I was told hardware components had been replaced.
What's even more confusing is that at one point they claimed there was no record of my first repair at all. Then suddenly they found it and changed the story to "it was only software."
I told them I wasn't collecting the laptop until the issue had been properly confirmed because at this point I don't know who is telling the truth.
Customer service later told me to go back to the store because they'd attached notes to my case. So I went back again.
The staff member I spoke to then basically threatened to dump/dispose of my laptop if I didn't come and collect it.
I'm sorry, what???
There's an ongoing dispute about whether I'm entitled to a replacement, I've been actively communicating with both the store and customer service, and their solution is to threaten to get rid of my property?
I'm a medical student and rely on this laptop every day. It's a £700 laptop that's failed twice in less than a year and I feel like I'm getting a completely different story every time I speak to someone.
Am I being unreasonable here, or does this sound as ridiculous as I think it does?

Hi! I just need quick laptop suggestions within £700?

I bought my hp 360 less than a year ago and it has broken down for the second time and I was told I could go pick a new one?

I really don’t know if it got overheated or anything, I’m really particular about getting a better laptop this time as it’s made me paranoid because my old one stopped working TWICE right before my exams.

I’d really appreciate any input!

So I’ve recently been considering going off extensions and sticking to just my hair, I’m curious if anyone has tried this and has got any advice on styles that actually look nice and won’t make me look like a little boy?

I’m also trying to get my hair to waist length, it’s pretty long already but I noticed the braids where thinning my hair out so I’m thinking of new protective styles with my actual hair

So I posted here recently about why hell will exist and some people really made me think about how we are part of God and He’s part of us.

And then I thought back to the Bible, how God is almost always represented by fire …. How He appeared to Moses, with shedrach meschach and abednigo (not sure if I spelt those wrong), even Elijah was taken up in a chariot of fire.

What if ppl that don’t build their spirit (the Holy Spirit in them), when it’s their time to return to their source for eternity(which is God), it is pictured as burning flame which could be where the idea of purification came from?!

Someone tell what if it’s technically not Hell but the inability to bare the flames of God due to the dimness of their spirit?!

Someone tell me I ain’t going crazy 👀👀 I swr I’m not high…

I love God but sometimes I wonder why Hell is a thing? And why can’t the person just be erased from existence instead?

And tbh even as a Christian, I don’t think I want to be alive for eternity. I just want to make it to heaven, tell God I love Him and thanks and hopefully He’d erase me as well.

Recently I’ve noticed I haven’t been attracted to any man, it’s so bad that my friends say my face physically scrunches up when they approach me. I’ve only dated one guy who was actually amazing but passed of cancer.

Every guy after that has just completely put me off, and it feels like all my time with them is just about them alone.

I took a break from dating and I’ve not felt the need to date again, it scares me because the statement that people make about how even tho I’m fine now one day I’m gonna be old and realise I’m lonely? But I also think I’ve got a phobia of dating now 😭😭

So I basically posted a while ago about a mate at my uni that would make jokes about me and my hair (I’ve got curly hair) and how I’d pronounce certain English words.

And so I took someone’s advice and asked this person in front of everyone if he had a problem with me, and I’ve gotta say it didn’t go how I expected it to go….

He proceeded to look surprised to look confused and says we’ve been over this before and I ask what we’ve been over? He proceeds to tell me that he loves me in front of everyone. Never been so confused in my life. He then calls me a nickname instead for the rest of the session.

Now…. I can’t tell if this is another prank or joke on me tbh
