So I fell in love with the Romanian language like with most languages and since I plan on going to Romania a lot, I’d like to learn the language properly. I’m currently learning on Drops but i know realistically that it won’t be enough. I looked at my town’s bookstore but they only have books to learn Western Europe languages and Greek and arabic. I do watch a few shows in Romanian but am never sure how well it’s translated ( I’ve seen how even English gets translated badly on Netflix ). What could I go towards to learn the language properly? Maybe a YouTube channel or something ?

I’m going back to Romania in October but as I’m on my own, I didn’t choose to rent a car ( I have my license but I’m not confident I’d drive well enough for the Romanian roads, especially not in Bucharest ). How accessible is Bolt ? That’s what google maps recommends for places like Bran, the Libearty sanctuary and other less accessible areas, as I’m searching for public transportations. I’d like to go to Bran one afternoon so that I can visit both the castle and the town and Libearty the second day but the only other way than Bolt that I saw was tour buses and I don’t really want to be stuck with a group all day if I can avoid it. Anyone have advice on transportation or should I just suck it up and get on a tour bus?

EDIT : just specifying I’m travelling there not moving ( not sure if that was understandable in the post )

(TW : depression and anxiety)
For context, I’ve been going through anxiety and depression my whole life mostly because of the social aspect of it. At times I’ll feel exhausted emotionally for weeks sometimes months then it will almost always be followed by a few weeks where I feel almost ecstatic.

The thing is, this time, I’m taking a new medication that helped with my anxiety and depression, so I’m in that period where I’m ecstatic and making a lot of psychological changes and once I set my mind on something, there’s no stopping me, which is fine but I’m afraid I’m simply putting myself through too many things at once. I.E, I started going to the gym, cutting down on meat, changing my usual stores, organised a trip for myself ( going on my own ) and I’m even thinking of trying to socialise with people through work events, town events etc. Now, that is a damn lot of changes, especially knowing I loathe change even if I know I need it in my life. I’m a bit scared to get overwhelmed by all this and I know I need to take a step back and rest before I just put myself in some kind of burnout. I’m already super emotional, crying for little things, feeling super guilty and tired physically at times so I know I’m headed towards that but I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to rest. How do people do that ? It feels like if I stop I’ll die but if I don’t stop too. Anyone got through something similar ? I know my starting of autism diagnosis didn’t help with the amount of changes I’m bringing in my life, probably to actually not think about it. I’m just lost rn.

I’m done with the terraforming of both Prime and Selenea (French names ) and before switching to humble and toxicity I wanted to finish Aqualis. As it turns out, I’m finding it rather boring. Maybe it’s the lack of wreckage or of resources (even as I get some from Prime and Selenea ), I’m not sure, but it’s less than what I expected. I’m slowly reaching the water plants stage but I don’t feel like playing because Aqualis is just underwhelming to me. Anyone feel like this about it ?

I’m not sure what to do. For the past few weeks, I’ve been reading a lot about ASD, watching videos, documenting my own behavior as requested by my therapist since ASD diagnosis has a big wait list for adults in Belgium. Since I’m thinking a lot, noticing patterns etc, I’ve been bringing it up to my parents as many would do ( I think ). My mom is super supportive even though she is awkward about it but my father gets tense and brushes it off whenever I mention it, to the point he said earlier today to “let the specialist deal with it” ( funny considering he went to conferences etc for my HP diagnosis when I was a kid but now somehow doesn’t want me looking into something my therapist brought up ) despite the fact the last time we checked, my therapist mentioned a 5 years wait list ( they’re not specialised in autism but saw quite a lot of traits ).

How can I bring it up to him? Is it still even worth it ?

Not sure if it’s a me-thing or others feel it too, but I can’t share things with people for my own sake. A few examples :
- second hand clothes are a big no to me, I just can’t, it touched someone else’s skin, body fluids,… that goes for strangers as well as family. Thankfully I don’t have brothers or sisters so I didn’t get the clothes they couldn’t wear anymore ( heard that’s a thing in families)
- nothing will *ever* make me use cups, cutlery, whatever at work. We have a good dishwasher with good quality pads. Still can’t. If I have a dish and forgot my own fork, I’ll either buy one or buy a sandwich. No paper cup for the coffee machine, no coffee for me as I don’t keep a cup in my locker ( yet ).
- probably silly but drying my hands on a hand towel at my friends’ house. Nope. My jeans were made for this, I fear.

Not sure if anyone here struggles with this, I know it sounds more like developing OCD but it’s not so much germs that unsettle me as much as the fact that “someone else touched it”. Unsure if that makes sense ?

If anyone is going through this, what are your solutions to struggle less/adapt your situation ? It has come to a point where even a second hand/library book is becoming a nope 😭

Spoilers for nightmare mode, I guess

So… I’m a huge horror fan. But! The pizzeria in nightmare mode is a REAL nightmare 😭 been at it for like three weeks, keep noping out of the game. Horror when I expect it ? Fine. But I didn’t know I was taking a job at Freddy’s as a cleaner 😭 Anyone else got that feeling on that level ? I want to finish it so I can return to enjoying the cleaning 😭

So I’ve had countless times the cutscene where one mii tries to reach out for their lover’s hand… is there a variation where they do ? Because it breaks my heart every time my mii gets so close to doing it then the hand is retracted
