Is it normal to hate your grad year within the first week?

Hi everyone, I know it sounds very weird. It has been 3 days, I hate my program. It is very far, I didn't realize because I moved to a different state where public transport sucks. Some of the other grads unfortunately. They don't even want to acknowledge my presence. I feel very unwelcomed especially during group activities.or something. I just want to know if this gets better? Has anyone ever been in this condition?

I travel 1.5 hours one way. How do you cope with this?

I don't feel pretty.

Hi everyone. No pervs please.

I have acne scars on my forehead. Like a lot. But it is generally not that visible unless you look close or there is certain lighting. I feel super insecure about it. Also my body has a lot of stretch marks, discoloration, keratosis pillaris and I have some scarring on my legs from childhood. I do plan on getting it looked at professionally. I have brown skin btw. I was overweight now I am actively losing weight. I don't know if I will even find someone lol.

I want to get a chemical peel for my scars on forehead but I am not sure if it is right for me. Anyone who has gotten a chemical peel as a brown girl did it work? Any tips for stretch marks. I am already moisturizing and considering microneedling. I am 27 for context.

Why is marriage so hard these days?

I will be very honest here. No pervs please.

I have been searching for marriage since 6 years. Everything under the sky I have tried it.

In my home country I was rejected for my hijab and skin color. I moved to the west I don't get anyone who is serious. Everyone wants casual stuff. Also for many I don't feel any attraction whatsoever. If everything goes well, my parents don't agree for some demographics, I know. It is getting harder for me every single day because I am getting approached my non Muslim men all the time. Some of them are committed 🤢.

I try to not let it get to me but I cannot help but feel gross. I am a Muslim and I would never indulge in anything like that but their audacity makes me feel like I did something wrong. I am a hijabi and modest. I know some people will comment about f*tishes which I agree. but this is too many people lol. I have no support whatsoever, financially yes but not in other aspects. I would rather want to live alone now.

I also see so many single women and men, divorcees at young age. I wonder what went wrong. Also how do I cope with people like that? I feel sick.

Creep at gym and his gf

Assalamualaikum everyone. I am going to one joke of gym. There is this man who constantly stares at me, tries to get close to me and so on. I have avoided every single one of his advances. He has a gf who goes to the same gym. They used to come together then he suddenly stopped bringing her at times when I go to the gym. I ignored it. Recently however his gf did come to the gym. Last 2 times I saw her she has tried to intimidate me or looks at me like I ruined her life. I have not done anything. She is besties with gym staff and now they all look at me like I am a monster. I come here with my brother. I wear hijab and everything. There is no women only gyms either. I am planning on going to another location soon which will be 10 times harder for me as I have no car but I cannot take it anymore. I feel sick, gross and disturbed. I didn't even do anything. I don't even feel like working out. Just wanted to rant. I legit wanted to make friends and socialize, but now I don't even want to talk to anyone. Thank you.

Wanting to attend a group gym class with men in it.

Assalamualaikum everyone, I want to attend a padwork boxing class in my gym with my brother. It has 2 male students and a coach also a man. It is usually done in pairs. I want to be paired with my brother obviously. The pad work consists of one person holding the pads and another one punching those pads. There is no physical touch. I am concerned that the coach might rotate us and pair us with others, I plan on asking him and talking to him about it. How do I approach this? What if he doesn't agree? JazakAllah khair.

Ps there is no women only facilities anywhere I live I also gave up swimming because of this.

I want to change so many things at 27.

I am 27 F. I achieved quite a bit academically and achieved a residency of another country. I am a nurse now and I am starting work soon.

However I feel some aspects of my life are not great:

  1. I want to lose weight I have been trying for a long time but I gain it all back. However, I am looking into personal training.

  2. I don't have any savings. I start work in Aug

  3. I suck at social skills and I never really had friends. I want to talk to people at my gym but I am so scared. I am planning on exposure therapy.

I feel like at 27 I am so late at many things. I never had a partner either. Please let me know how you changed things. Thank you.

Anxious in social interactions

Hi everyone, I am 27 F and I have really bad anxiety when interacting with people. When I am at work it is easier, however, when I go to other places I am so scared. I don't want that. I cannot even make eye contact. I think this stems from bullying and a lot of degradation I had to face when I was younger. I moved to a different country but I am still scared, I will be judged or mocked.

I want to interact more socially. I am going to start trying to be more friendly and approachable but I feel not normal sometimes.

How to not be shy

I am 27 and have been an introvert all my life. I don't interact much with the opposite gender as in the past my approachability has been misinterpreted. Now I am concerned I am not social enough after moving to a new country. People assume me and my brother are a couple which really bothers me and I want to clear the air. I have trouble with making eye contact and I feel shy and intimidated by both men and women. How do I approach people and make friends? Has anyone had similar experience? Thank you.

Subclass 804

Hi everyone. I and my sibling are pr holders here. I want to bring my parents here as they are old and I want them to stay with us as it is not very safe in our home country.

Someone gave me an option of having them here on tourist visa and then applying for 804 so they get a bridging visa.

Has anyone applied for it? any good migration agents that can help me with this?

How to navigate loneliness.

I am 27. I reached one of the biggest milestones in my life. I moved to another country and got my residency Alhamdulillah. Allah swt helped me all the way.

I moved away from my family, lived alone for 2 years and that was the best time of my life. My brother also lives in same country so my parents forced me to move with him. I am miserable. Since I got my residency yesterday, I was very happy. However my brother was extremely rude to me because apparently he didn't have enough sleep? I don't have friends either since I moved here and I don't know anyone. I feel like every situation in my life I navigated alone whether it was happy or sad.

I just want to live alone. I don't even want to get married now because I don't want to have to emotionally bear another person again. I know moving out will cause problems.

I don't know how to get over this feeling. I was happy but now I am literally sobbing.

How to get over someone

Assalamualaikum girlies. I was approached by the man of my dreams. He was everything I wanted except he was not a Muslim. So I never interacted with him or took anything forward with the fear of something haram happening. However, some days I feel like maybe if I reciprocated something halal would have come from it? I know it is a long shot and that if something is written for me it will not miss me. I just want to know how to deal with these feelings. Provide me with reassurance or words from Quran.

Ps. If you are a man please don't DM me. Thank you.

Alhamdulillah turning 27 tmrw.

Hi girlies. I am turning 27 tmrw. Yayyyy!!! I am not married yet despite my efforts. I see a lot of girls attaching their value to marriage here and hence wanted to make this post.

I am so happy and grateful to Allah swt for seeing 27 in full health, peace and safety. I am happy that I am still a Muslim and I am able to worship Allah swt. I have come a long way in last 3 years. Yes I am not married and sometimes it feels like a void but I trust Allah and His plans and enjoy what I have now because marriage also comes with its own challenges and maybe I am not ready for it. May Allah grant everyone good health, independence and imaan. Aameen.

Not feeling accepted.

Hi girlie pops. Assalamualaikum. I am a hijabi and I live in a place where there are not any Muslims. I have always been treated with respect and never felt racism. However, I am having trouble fitting in. Like I don't feel like I belong and I know this is internal but I avoid talking to people sometimes because I feel I will be judged by them or I am being an inconvenience. I am trying to step up and be a bit more social but I still feel anxious and over think everything. Has anyone been through this? What do I do to get better?

For context I am a nurse but at my job I am very social because I need to be. However outside I just cannot. No like I want to but I feel like I will be rejected and stuff.
