How rude is it if a friend says their house isn't available to hang out today, and you ask if you can just wait by their front door to use their Wi-Fi to contact your parents to pick you up because you don't have cellular data?
Here’s what happened: We met up, and he said, 'Let's go for a walk because my house isn't available.' We did, but on the way back, I asked if we could sit outside his house so I could use the internet. We saw his mom and aunt sitting outside, so we couldn't sit there. I managed to connect to the Wi-Fi from outside the front door and talked to my sister. Then, he suggested we go sit in the garden, but I told him I couldn't get a signal down there. He said I didn't need to be connected the whole time and should just message them right then.
At that point, I told him, 'It's obvious from your face that you don't want to invite us in, and I don't want to be a nuisance, so I'll just go home.' After that, his mom told us to come inside to solve the problem, so he finally invited us in.
TL;DR: I eventually came in his house even though he didn't seem to want me to
Is a sudden boundary okay? what is a good response from them if I ask the reason
Guys lucid dreaming just seems too unrealistic to me. I will probably wake up if I get too excited during a dream and that will disrupt my sleep, right? I don't even believe it is true. Can I do it at this age without interrupting my sleep at all?
Do you think it would disrupt my attention and focus on my studies or not?
Last year in school, I was a shy, introverted kid who helped every single classmate whenever they messaged me on WhatsApp for notes or explanations. Because I was the top student, people took advantage of my shy nature and became way too comfortable around me. Sometimes I would send them up to 30 pages of notes, and some wouldn't even say thank you.
This upcoming school year, which starts in a month, I am going to stop doing that. I am going to say 'no' to everyone except my real friends. Setting these firm rules will help me filter my true friends from the fake ones. Additionally, I used to help classmates during tests because they didn't study and kept asking for answers. This year, I am not going to reply to them or help them during tests at all.
I have also been struggling with social anxiety, anxiety-induced urinary urgency, and insomnia (which is fairly new). This whole summer, I've been reading books on ACT and CBT, learning to accept my anxiety, and preparing to use exposure strategies when school starts.
Regarding my recovery from anxiety and insomnia, I fully expect setbacks. I read about this in the book DARE: The New Way to End Anxiety, which describes recovery like the sun behind a dark cloud with mist in the air. The sun clears the mist, but sometimes the fog rolls back in for a bit. Setbacks are just like that fog—temporary, natural, and expected.
Finally, for my physical glow-up, I started going to the gym early this summer. I went for four weeks before sustaining an injury, so I’ve taken a two-week break to let it heal. I plan to return in a week and stay consistent for nine months to see my progress. By then, I know I will have physically glowed up.
