Ever since I was young up until college , even when I try to be genuine with people, but for some reason I always feel so less than everyone. I hate the feeling, but up until now, I still experience being left out and not included in a lot of things. And lagi kong iniisip if the person talks behind my back, and if I just never really deserve any of these relationships. Ewan ko ba, but I often question my worth ever since bata pa ako.

Short context:

When I was kid, I'm very extroverted, almost everyone knows me sa batch. Lagi rin ako ung nag aapproach sa childhood friend ko. As time went on I feel like naiinis sila sakin. And I had a time (grade 4) na I was bullied kaya ever since non introverted na ko.

Trying to get back up from being introverted since highschool (gr 9), I did communication with some people here and there and ayon. I still had this trust issue na dahil nung bata ako, what if they don't like me from behind rin? Kaya I have a difficult time being attached (though I have attachment issues I think. If there's someone I enjoy talking to, excited ako makipag usap. but with most people, I leave a persona to them)

Up until now na college na ko (graduating) I still feel like this. I did talk with many people, had some friends rin. But I always had time for myself, and while I did interact with many circles. I did not become "too close" with any. Kaya heto ako na para bang mag isa muli. I'm tired of feeling like this., m

Hi I'm studying Japanese po and I want to get along with people here in Baguio, na nag aaral ng foreign languages (better if same language hehe)

Context: I have a cousin who is adopted and my only issue with her is just her mental disability where she matures super slow.

I have no issues talking with her and etc, but I feel like I have my own boundaries such as, if I am at my home, I don't want her to be here at all. Only when there are actual family gatherings I'm fine. Right now she's like, 13 or 14 years old or something, and she did mature more than when she was a kid, but still, my nephew, who is like 7 or 8, is more mature than she is. She cannot read social cues and such which is why I feel bothered as if it's my pet peeve if she's present when I'm at a place I'm comfortable at.

My mother told me that I should understand her more and it's unfair that I judge her since she has this immaturity disorder (adhd but with a variant, idk) and that she is not normal.

Christ demonstrated his love towards those who are with illness and even with people who are the least. I can do that just fine but I'm just human, and even if I don't want her visiting our house because I feel so bothered, I am just fine talking around her if it's at a different place. Just not here.

Another thing about me is that may help you understand my case:in the same way, I don't wanna live in the same dormitory as my classmates or friends. Whenever I go home, I feel so at ease after being drained (from interactions and physical movement). I usually decline living with people I'm associated with, though I am fine with inviting them if I have an event or something.

Honestly after these past few years, the country just gets worse and worse. In gen z terms, BOT FRAG SOUTHEAST ASIAN COUNTRY TAYO.

Yes, little by little may galit sa bawat issue sa bansa. From flood control, to the drama sa Senate. Tapos pag taas ng electricity, lalo na ung balita about permits on solar panel installations etc. Gets ko pa pag economy talaga ang sanhi , pero at some point alam mo rin na it's possible na they'd find cheat codes in some parts of the system by unnecessary bills to pay or etc. Not to mention sobrang taas ng tax natin.

So what if, may direct communication from gov to the citizens. No social media, no media, just both sides para ma express talaga ang galit ng bayan. And please for the love of this country, to the people, PLS UNITE kesa naman sa mag hiwalay kayo base sa kulay. Kala ko ba iisa lang tayo hahaha. Nakaka hiya ang bansa natin, moreover, minsan nakakahiya na rin maging filipino

こんにちは！ I have been studying Japanese since 2021 and am preparing to launch an Instagram content creation page. I need some feedback on my branding to ensure it sounds natural to native speakers.

My chosen internet handle is "Yessu", written in Katakana as イエッス.

The Context: The name comes from the English word "Yes" (since it's my catchphrase). However, I am aware that イエス (Iesu) means Jesus, and since my content is faith-based, I absolutely do not want people to think I am calling myself Jesus! To fix this, I changed the spelling to the high-energy slang version イエッス (Yessu).

My planned video intro punchline is:

「こんにちは皆さん！英語の『イエス』、イエッスです！」

I want to ask:

Does イエッスです (Yessu desu) sound like natural, upbeat internet/social media slang for the English word "Yes"?

Does the punchline make sense grammatically and structurally?

If a Japanese speaker hears/sees this, will they clearly understand the wordplay on the English "Yes", or will it still be confusingly close to "Iesu" (Jesus)?

Appreciate any insights or nuances you can share! よろしくお願いします！

Hi po

I recently dedicated my life to Christ and decided to combine my faith with my passion for learning Japanese (which I've studied since 2021). I am creating an Instagram account to share the Gospel and my testimony in Japanese.

I need advice on my username/internet handle. My idea is "Yessu desu" (イエッスです).

The backstory is that whenever I don't know what to say, I always say "Yes," so I wanted to use the English word "Yes" as my name. However, I learned that the Japanese word for Jesus is イエス (Iesu).

To avoid claiming to be Jesus, I changed the spelling to Yessu (イエッス) with a double 's' and the small 'tsu' character, which acts like energetic Japanese slang for "Yes!"

My plan for my video intro punchline is: "こんにちは皆さん！英語の『イエス』、イエッスです！" (Hello everyone! The English 'Yes', I'm Yessu!)

As a Christian, do you think this spelling change is distinct enough? Does it sound like a clever double meaning (since I am a follower of Jesus), or could it be seen as disrespectful or confusing to viewers? I'd love your honest thoughts po. Thank you!

I've been avoiding this person since first year pero yk, life.. Idk where to begin but bullet points will prolly do:

- first time nya mag drive and everytime they bring their family's car sa office, pinapa bukas nya saamin. Siyempre at first g lang pero I stopped na. I usually ignore nalang messages nya sa gc or leave the office agad. (this annoys me a lot lately).

- gossips, telling wrong things about others sa batch namin as if they aren't doing x and y themself

- expresses their tiredness about their part time job with a loud tone, tapos sasabihin nya after "ok lang, I should be thankful dahil may trabaho ako". They talk about it loudly.

Many more pero ewan ko ba, hindi ko maintindihan thought process ng person na to, sorry. Tahimik lang talaga ko dahil I don't wanna be involved sa gossips and whatever talk there is.

I'm devoted to God/Jesus and I read and pray with the Bible day and night everyday. But whenever people such as friends make jokes that are not in line with my faith, I find myself acting like im ok with it when deep down inside I am not. I want to learn how to be firm and truly against what's not right. I want to learn how to criticize and say otherwise to what was said, especially when they use Jesus' name in vain. I feel like im too "passive" when it comes to this, instead of correcting them, I just be a bystander.

And worse, some of these people claim to be Christians when in reality they are not. I wanna learn how to share the Good News, but I feel like without these traits of being defensive, it'll be better to not share at all..

I already asked a couple of times and all they do is make us research for tech stack instead of giving us a project to actually work on. I feel like my skills are wasted because of this hahaha. Kaya lagi akong nakakatulog sa office.

Random late night thought lang pero I wanna have a bible date with someone where we just hang out and enjoy each other's presence while reading the Bible and praying 😭

Currently 22 and I remember when I used to study back in Riyadh, grade 2 ako non. I used to tease this one girl cause I "hate" her and she does the same to me. But how I remember is that we are somewhat like friends and it's weird because it reminds me of those anime na slice of life. But thinking about it now, I feel like I did somewhat like that person, and I have been wondering how are they lately.. I couldn't remember her last name, but I think I remember her name. I've been trying to search but I still couldn't find nor remember. I feel like gusto ko lang syang kamustahin. We separated nung our school decided na mag separate ang boys at girls, so I never really had a genuine or super close friendship with a girl ever since that day.. ANG NOSTALGIC I hope I get to remember her, though the memories we had were beautiful

For context po I used to isolate myself from my family out of anger before I was a Christian, lalo kapag malala ang away namin ng father ko.

But right now, I just came from my internship and I am very sleep deprived and I just wanted to rest. I slept and suddenly biglang nag burst out mother ko because of what she was asking me to print for her work. I already had it printed and slept without checking pero mali ang naprint despite using the right file. Kaya I started losing my patience kasi she seemed out of hand (though I printed it out again). At the same time they wanted me to eat pero I already reached my limit sa calorie intake.

I honestly was starting to lose patience and I didn't want to get mad and I wanted to try understanding them therefore I was doing my best to be patient. After printing I just told my mom who was mad na I'm sorry. Tapos I didn't eat dinner na, especially that I felt so off na everyone in the household is getting into my nerves. At that moment all I wanted was peace of mind and lately I'm starting to see myself be tempted with anger and lust (personally). Kaya after going to my room, I ignored everyone for the sake of my peace, and after a few minutes, I spent time to dwell in prayer and the word, just asking for God for forgiveness that I've been tempted to sin lately, especially with my patience and trying to be sober from adult content for a month now. And even if I hear my family calling me, I didn't want to go out because I feel like I might lose it and break down in front of them in anger.

I don't know if I did just fine by isolating myself and ignoring them for the sake of my peace and not " fighting" or arguing back

Hi, I just computed my grades and I just found out, kaya ko hilain grade ko pa taas ng dalawa to get latin honors . 88 kasi ang grade samin for laude and I computed 87.5 for my first year to third year first sem. Still waiting for this sem but potentially my grade for second sem is 83.5~84.36 if kasama ung isang minor subject.

Grabe binaba ko this sem, baba mag bigay ng isang subject hahahah. But anyway I got like two semesters left and the thing is, I already applied for a part time internship for first sem, and based kasi sa seniors, alternate schedule so it means that may mga araw na walang pasok. And my sched for internship is 4 days per week with 5 hour shift. I don't know how I'm going to be able to balance it while pursuing for latin honors but do you have any tips for someone na baguhan sa side hustle like this? (grabe kaba ko knowing I only got one chance for these two semesters)

Observation ko lang na compared to other denominations it's mostly them na ayaw ng marami

As the title says. I feel like isa sa causes ng traffic is ung bagal ng takbo ng tricycles, padyak, at jeep. At kung san san na rin humihinto (kung may ilang lanes sana kada bayan)

Hi by context I don't know how to deal with my sister na minsan pasigaw sumagot kahit maayos ako makipag usap tapos it's provoking minsan.

Our family is catholic and nung nag college ako my born again friends invited me to church and right now I'm a Christian (I don't wanna bind myself to denomination) and ever since I've been doing my best to change my character. My family on the other hand, well my parents are ok. But my sister... Like I don't know if dahil ba sa edad nyang 19 o kung san nya napulot yung ganong ugali. And it's difficult for me dahil everytime na uuwi ako saamin, I tend to backslide.

Right now in my season, I'm able to keep guard sa spiritual self ko since I am doing my daily devotion and went to a *insert church name here *church sa hometown ko. Ang hirap talaga kapag iba ang pov ng iba sa buhay, lalo pag may inaachieve o minamaintain kang self..

Hi, I recently found myself being attracted to someone in church. I'm 3rd year and she's second year college. We never talked but I want to get to know her more (and praying God guides my introvert self). I want to man up and be a godly man. Just liking her gave me a vision of what type of man I want to be.

From observations from fellow churchmate po, I notice paano sila nanliligaw or what they do and I've thought of ways of how to approach this since I'm an incoming 4th year. I don't plan for us to be partners right away kasi by discernment I feel like hindi pa tamang panahon. In my remaining year in college I just plan to build our connection before I tell my pastor/leaders for prayer/advice. I don't plan na manligaw unless we're both in our seasons na. We most probably have our own goals in our season now, and for me it's to get good in my career and be a breadwinner for my family.

I want to ask feedback if I'm doing this just fine as recently lang po ako naging super devoted kay Lord. And also I want to prioritize God kesa sakanya. I feel like weakness ko rin yun na I might put someone on a pedestal.

For months I was very worried dahil iniisip ko na di ako makahanap ng company. But finally (thank God) I was not only referred to one company, but I also volunteered to apply at a foreign company for the next semester. So I got two ojts na, the former is for the requirement, and latter is just on my own (part time intern)

Any advices?
