Honestly, it’s miserable being socially awkward. I’d do anything to feel normal and be like everyone else. I’m going on a date next week with a girl I met online, but I’m really afraid I’ll do something awkward and turn her off. Any advice?

Hi everyone! I started going to the gym on July 25th, so now I’m in week 6, and I’m currently cutting. But I felt frustrated this morning when I weighed myself and saw that I was 94 kg! (My weight when I started was 95 kg.) I count my calories, and I’m in a calorie deficit. My average protein intake is around 105 g per day.

The thing is, I can lift much heavier weights than before, but my weight has barely changed. 😔

What should I do?

I thought about buying protein powder to increase my daily protein intake and doing a more aggressive calorie deficit. What do you think?

Hi everyone! I’m a 23-year-old guy from Palestine looking for someone who wants to practice Arabic while helping me improve my English.

A little about me: I’m a dental student, and I’m really interested in science, space, history, and medicine. I also love chess. I enjoy reading, learning new things, and meeting people from different backgrounds.

I’m currently working on improving my English, especially my speaking, vocabulary, pronunciation, and natural conversation skills.

I’m a native Arabic speaker, so I can help you with both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) or Palestinian/Levantine Arabic.

For the exchange, I’d prefer voice calls or regular conversations rather than only texting.

We can talk about pretty much anything, daily life, culture, books, movies, science, chess, travel, or just random topics.

I’m looking for someone who is serious about practicing but also relaxed and friendly. We can correct each other’s mistakes and learn together.

If you're interested, send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself and your level in Arabic.

Hi everyone,

I really need some advice because I feel like I’m losing control over how people treat me.

A couple of days ago, two people who I used to consider my friends humiliated me in front of others. This happened in front of my collage classmates, which made it even worse. They kept messing with me, unbuttoning my shirt, pushing me, and running away while laughing. When I got upset, they said it was “just a joke.” I cut them off after that. What’s really affecting me is that this happened in front of my classmates, and I feel like it changed how they see me. I’m very affected by that and can’t stop thinking about it. What made it worse is that the day before, one of my professors raised his voice at me and embarrassed me in front of my classmates as well. All of this has been affecting me more than I expected. Yesterday I reached a really low point and had thoughts about hurting myself, which honestly scared me. Now I feel like I have no personality or presence. It feels like people see me as weak or naive, and that’s why they think it’s okay to cross my boundaries. It’s starting to affect me deeply, and I don’t know how to stand up for myself without feeling overwhelmed or powerless.

Also, there’s a girl I like, and she was there when this happened. Now I feel really embarrassed to even talk to her. Do you think something like this can change how she sees me?
