I don't know why, but I feel incredibly insecure and depressed about being such a sensitive person. Can anyone relate or offer any comfort?
I think I'm feeling triggered by something and it would be really great to talk to someone that understands.
It's hilarious! It made me think Kelso wasn't that crotchety and mean. Hopefully, someone remembers what episode. Do you think they actually do this in hospitals, though?
I don't know what to do. I just bought a subscripton service of grammarly, hoping it can really help me with my writing. Since buying it, I go into document and press the proofread button. It loads for a bit and then says Something went wrong. Please try again later.
I logged out and logged back in to hopefully...fix it? And then I clicked the refresh button when it still wouldn't work. And none of that did anything. What can I do? Just contact customer service?
Sorry to post this here, but would you advise someone to give up on writing if their grammar is lacking?
What if they struggle with grammar concepts such as structuring finer sentences and placing commas? I'm really depressed because I've been an avid reader for years, and I would think my grammar skills would be stronger. Can anyone offer something uplifting?
I'm not sure if this is allowed here, hopefully it is.
I'm not an English student, what I am is an adult very currently depressed about my lack of understanding in grammar.
There are some things I've picked up from reading books over the years as an avid reader, and from what little basic English grammar classes I've taken. But I want to write finer structured sentences, avoid run on sentences and make better use of commas.
I feel very overwhelmed trying to do this on my own, and I'm not sure where to even start improving. Can I still see about tutoring here?
I'm not an English major or anything, and I feel so in over my head about learning or where to start. I have many grammar books, but in my readings, I don't seem to comprehend anything.
There are some things I've picked up from books and what little classes I've taken. But what I haven't learned makes me feel so foolish. I would like to construct better sentences and feel confident to do so. What material do you recommend? Would anyone here in this community be willing to go over some things with me privately as like a tutoring session?
Should you give up on writing, if you struggle to grasp grammar concepts like run on sentences, or commas and things like that?
I'm looking to improve, but grammar honestly seems like it's own language in itself and I know it should be simple, but something doesn't seem to connect for me and I find it very depressing.
It seems like there's so much to it, and I know someone will say it's really very easy. I don't know why I can't connect. Does anyone have any advice or something uplifting?
Hopefully this is allowed here- this is an excerpt from a published novel (Not mine) I'm writing this here to ask: is this version of a run on sentence allowed in writing? Because I want to avoid the embarrassment of writing run on sentences, but when I read I'm confused when I see stuff like this. Any insight here?
"But if you're not lucky, and you develop a taste, if you're one who senses that cocaine gets better with time, or you're one who jumps out of a plane and becomes an adrenaline junky, or you're one who loves the feel of grease melting over your tongue in the form of pecan pie or thick clam chowder or a fat porterhouse or just plain ol Doritos by the bagful, and you want to repeat the same comfort and recognizable surprise of that first go, that first indulgence and yet with each succeeding bite the small hope of true satisfaction slides farther away, then you understand celeste at least a little."
I'm just having a hard time letting something go, and i feel like I'm kind of having an episode? Like I'm crying and I just want to feel like I have a friend that cares about me, and I wish I knew how to process my emotions. Like it feels like I'm being dramatic but I genuinely am feeling so depressed and like I cant control it nor get over this situation. I'm sorry if this is alot, I'm new here and I just really think it'd be nice to talk to people that understand. Sorry, if this isnt allowed. I genuinely don't want to do anything or it feels hard to do anything, but its also hard to be sad all the time.
I'm suspected of having borderline personality disorder. (No, I promise I'm not self diagnosing.) My emotions are becoming hard to regulate. Its embarrassing but I think its causing me to feel I need to act out in some way. (That's the best way I can describe it.)
I think it'd be nice to distract myself by having a nice chat with someone?
