I want to be normal

I wish I was normal and didn't have NVLD. It's sucks to know that everything an average person would excel at doing, it's like an obstacle for me. I never knew I had NVLD until my mom said she had it. She was tested, but it wasn't a confirmed diagnosis. We both share the same difficulties with learning, understanding the world around us, and having to think differently. For me, though, it's so hard to accomplish anything. I'll study for hours and hours, something I never did before, and I still get a below average score on a simple test. When I was studying, I did very well. It's just that testing isn't for me. I've been a straight A&B student, but simple math from high school is difficult? It doesn't even sound right to say that. I just graduated high school and took easy courses, so why am i struggling with the same material.

I feel so dumb that I'm not sure if I could accomplish my dream of becoming a nurse. I haven't even started college, and so far, I can't do the simplest of the test. Everyone I know gets high testing scores, has perfect grammar, great communication skills, etc, but for me, I can't do anything if that. I honestly am giving up on myself. No one can say they have faith in me. On top of that, I don't have faith in myself. I've known I have had NVLD since 9th grade. I have every symptom and definitely know i have ADHD (not tested for it, though). It seems my cognitive and functioning skills have gotten worse. I can't remember anything anymore. It feels like my brain has completely given up . Countless hours of studying and learning hasnt gotten me anywhere. I'm known for being "awkward" or "slow," and at other times, I choose to be a mute to prevent further embarrassment. I have no clue how I can survive college and life in general. I also don't have anyone to talk to/help me either even though I've asked others to. At this point, I'm just a lost cause.

This is my first post in this community, and I apologize for the rant.

Missing chats

I recently uninstalled Instagram on my phone for more storage. When I reinstalled it back, I noticed half of my recent chats with people were missing. The only chats I see are from 86+ weeks ago. None of my recent messages are showing.

How do I fix this??? Is anyone else having this problem???

Dell - Plus 16" 2K 2-in-1 Touchscreen Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 256V

I will be a college freshman this upcoming fall. I recently bought the laptop listed in the title in 16" since it was a cheaper buy. However, I'm unsure whether a 14" would be better due to its light weight.

​

A 16" was a bit heavier than expected and is bigger as well. I urgently needed a laptop to last these next 4 years. I am a biology student. Can anyone offer some advice on my decision?

Is Sagittarius men for Scorpio moons?

I'm a libra sun with a scorpio moon 6H. I've had a close friend with a sag guy before, but he turned out to be a total Jackie. I'm between having interest with guys that can handle my emotional needs, provide security, and appear secretive with a hidden side to them.

I've acted an Aries moon, and he was a total nightmare. Completely into romance, emotionally unstable, needy, pushed me beyond me limits, etc. My libra sun wants someone who's obsessive about being their best self rather than perfectionism inside our relationship. I also have a difficult time expressing my emotions and prefer someone who takes me seriously and respects my need for space.

​

I haven't heard anything about a Sag Sun male with scorpio moon females. Would they be a better match for us? (Yes, I am aware that rising and moon signs can change one's experience, I'm just curious).

what do you appreciate about yourself as a libra sun and your placements?

I feel like libras are very unappreciated since we're known for being extremely passive, non-confrontational, and too "airy" with our energy. Some signs understand that we have reasonings for why we have these characteristics and our strive to be genuinely good people. We create balance in others' lives and encourage others to build better themselves to their fullest potential. I think all of these are what make libras so unique compared to other signs (and of course, I know there will be someone to say otherwise).

Having libra in my chart is probably one of the positive placements to have. I do wish I had Leo, Capricorn, and Aries within my chart because it seems like I have 0 dominant energy, except for my libra sun and divaness from that. I am water and earth heavy too. I sometimes don’t understand everyone's emotions, but I try to help someone have a better day. (I could've had at least one Leo placement, Lol)

Scorpio Moon is also another placement that i am thankful for. It stops me from being a people-pleaseing so easily to others because I remind myself that this person isn't being honest to me and not to themselves. I am obsessed in different ways. I do lack expressioning my emotions openly unless I am around people I trust. It's hard for me to explain myself clearly to others, too. For instance, Pisces are very emotionally in-depth and understand how others feel. They feel what you feel. Which is not I pickup on all the time.

At first, I hated being a libra. Everyone who's asked what my sign was, and when I told them libra, the first thing they say is "Ew" or "Libras are so childish," which doesn't make any sense now that I think about it. People are so quick to have control over others. That's just not a part of a libras nature. So, what experiences have you had as a libra sun's, and what do you think makes you a good person? Can yall relate to any of this?

Help! missing messages after switching from Samsung to Google messaging.

My mom and I can't figure out why most of the messages we have sent to other people, mostly iPhones, are missing. We can see what was sent by them but not what we sent.

So far, I have deleted my cache and data from Google messaging. Restarted my phone, then switched back and went through the whole process again. Some of my messages are showing, but I'm still missing a lot from other contacts.

I am also unable to back up my messages at all and dont have enough storage on my phone. The little amount that did backup apparently caused me to lose my recent messages from the past few days thar I have sent to people. Now I'm missing my recent of older messages I have sent and only have what others have sent me.

Can someone please help me? Thank you!

rant on pisces (I'm a libra)

This is just my opinion based on my experience with different pisces, male and female.

I am really starting to think that pisces can be vert self-centered and selfish towards others. They secretly make everything about themselves and expect pity when things don't go their way.

Don't get me wrong. A lot of pisces I've met are nice and affectionate, but it's like they have a mask that hides their feelings. When I talk to my pisces friends they complain about everything in their lives. Emotional dump on me, then be quick to say they want to end everything. If it was vice-versa thenni get a "oh you'll be fine" or they dodge answering when I open up. Pisces tend to make it about them even though for me, as a libra, pisces are more respected and adored than me. Like I love pisces sun's but my libra can't handle yall all the time. Don't complain to me if you do nothing to fix your problems and just want to make it about you and no one else.

For pisces on a cusp, especially a pisces-Aries are terrible to deal with as a libra. I've posted about this before so I'm not gonna dump all over it. My scorpio moon hates feeling like my feelings are not being understood, being shamed when I am emotional, or having to force built up tension until I release. Overly avoidant, fail to admit their wrongs, can't handle conflict without blowing someone.

This is just a rant but I feel like libras don't talk much about their opinions on pisces. am I meeting the wrong pisces?

Issue with account

I assume Cashapp's update adds a new feature where there's an AI chat box. It seems like there's a smiley face on the top left corner or bottom of my screen. Do you all have the same thing?

Also, I can't send money to anyone. All my transactions instantly fail, and I can't connect with my bank. What can I do to fix this?

Most posts I've seen are Sagittarius sun's that like to be baby-up by others. As a scoprio moon, i am also like that as well. I have no fire signs in my chart except for Sagittarius in Jupiter & Pluto and Leo in IC (Whatever that means)

As a child, I've always been independent and played the mother role in all my friends. I'm so mature until when I act immature, people take it as a front. Don't get me wrong, I have moments where I want to be held, understood, and i guess act like a baby? The only signs that I've been able to act this way to have been Aquarius, Capricorn, and Leo suns. As a Libra sun, others look up to me and want me to be there "mom" at school.

This is definitely weird to post. I'm just curious whether it's a scorpio moon thing, age, etc.

Hello everyone!

I have posted any questions that I have on here since I need a lot of advice for college. I am planning to pursue a career in Nursing, however I am majoring in biology. The college I am attending next year has an "iffy" nursing program. A lot of people have told me to major in biology instead and just get my pre-requisites done so I could potentially dual-major. This is a little background, by the way.

I have to take a foreign language placement test (LPT). I am not sure which language would be best for nursing except for Spanish. I have taken Spanish classes before but stopped when I was in middle school. In high school, I took French for 2 years since I enjoyed learning the language. I do have the ability to exempt from the LPT if I haven't taken a language for more than 4 years. I will then be switched to taking the beginning level course test instead and taking beginning level classes for Spanish.

Should I take Spanish in college for nursing even though I'm just being taught the language all over again? Did any of you take Spanish as well?

I know this is like an odd question to ask. I have thousands since Im just learning a lot about college and becoming a nurse. Thank you in advance for answering. :)
