Hi everyone,

I’m looking for someone who might be willing to mentor me in chemistry.

I’m 30 and currently teaching myself chemistry from the ground up because I’m preparing to study Biological Chemistry at university. My previous background is in nursing, so I have some biology and medical knowledge, but chemistry is currently my weakest foundation.

I’m especially interested in eventually moving toward biochemistry, molecular biology, and immuno-oncology research, so I want to build a genuinely strong understanding rather than just memorize enough to pass exams.

Right now I’m working through basic/general chemistry: atoms, bonding, moles, stoichiometry, energy, solutions, acids/bases, etc.

What I’m looking for is not someone to do my homework. I’d mainly appreciate a person I can occasionally:

- ask conceptual questions when I’m stuck,

- explain my reasoning to and have them point out where it breaks,

- get advice from about what I should learn next,

- discuss chemistry with,

- and occasionally have my understanding challenged.

I learn best when I understand why and how something works mechanistically, then practice problems afterward.

You definitely don't need to be a professor. Chemistry students, graduate students, researchers, teachers, or people who simply know the subject well are welcome.

If you're interested, please send me a message or comment below. I’d also be happy to hear suggestions for communities where finding this kind of mentorship might be easier.

Thanks!

Please read me:

Summary:

1. Fiction only. No historical fiction.

2. I am married.

3. I won't reply to a "hi".

4. Only looking for someone close to Austria or within Austria.

5. I only accept people within the same age as me or older.

Longer version:

I am looking for book buddies who enjoy fiction and thoughtful conversations. I mostly read Japanese contemporary writers, but I am open to different kinds of fiction as long as the story is interesting. I'm usually into textbooks: Immunology, Microbiology, Molecular biology and mostly health science.

Someone recently sent me a message that he thought I'm single. First of all, this subreddits are not the place for finding dates. Secondly, I am happily married.

I would like to meet people who enjoy reading, sharing recommendations, and talking about characters, themes, and strange little details in books. I prefer relaxed conversations and people who do not mind slow replies sometimes.

I would prefer people within my age or older and someone living within Europe just in case we decide to meet up. Usually online without meet ups usuallt die down. And I am here to look for friends who I can keep.

Please if you want me to reply send something longer than a "hi".

I’m currently based in Austria and in my 30s. I'm usually busy reading in science, microbiology, immunology, and how things work. I’m improving my German and building stronger study habits through structure, repetition, and active learning.

Outside of that, I rarely read fiction but now I want to read fiction in german. I'm a slow reader btw

I love taking care and spending time with my husband, however, he urged me to find new friends because it's not healthy that I don't have any here. He is right.

Outside of studying, I enjoy music, thoughtful conversations, self-improvement, and learning new ideas. I value honesty, curiosity, consistency, and meaningful effort.

I’m looking for friends, preferably close to my age or older. It would be nice to meet people within Europe, especially in case we eventually want to meet in person. I’m more interested in genuine conversations and people who are willing to actually make the effort to get to know each other.

Looking for friends within the EU

I am looking for genuine friendships with people living within the EU. I am interested in science, biotechnology, immunology, psychology, philosophy, books, horror series, self-improvement, and deep conversations about life, identity, learning, and how people think.

I like conversations that are honest, curious, and not too shallow. I enjoy talking about ideas, personal growth, strange questions, science, emotions, books, films, and the way people experience the world.

I know friendship takes effort, consistency, patience, and real interest from both sides. I am willing to do the work in getting to know people properly, asking questions, staying present, and building something slowly.

I would prefer people within the EU because I want friendships that have at least some realistic chance of becoming more grounded over time, whether through regular conversation or eventually meeting in person.

If you are also looking for a real friendship and not just small talk, feel free to message me.

I will only reply if you answer this question:

Tell me who you are before the world told you who you should be.

Life gets in the way sometimes and I ended up trapped in reading textbooks.

I am looking for book buddy friends, preferably people who enjoy real conversations and do not mind talking about ideas in a direct way.

I am interested in science, psychology, philosophy, immunology, horror series, books, self understanding, and language learning. I am currently learning German and preparing for a more serious academic path, so I spend a lot of time studying.

I like conversations that are honest, curious, and not too superficial. I enjoy people who can talk about life, personality, science, books, emotions, strange thoughts, and random observations without needing everything to be polished.

I can be introverted, sometimes intense, and sometimes awkward at first. I am not looking for romance. I am only looking for friendship, ideally with people in the EU or DACH region, but online friendship is also fine.

If this sounds compatible, feel free to message me.

Hi I'm 30f.

I want to read about a woman in her 30s or so. Navigating through life. Something captivating.

No romance, no historical fiction, no thriller.

I want something like:

The Convenience Store Woman.

Answer this question in your message: What is something you hate about living?

About me:

I'm a very straightforward person yet polite. I don't like flowery words, I prefer if you get to the point.

I’m interested in science, psychology, biology, chemistry, immunology, books, audiobooks and meaningful discussions about life. I'm currently studying German. :/ I hate learning it but I really want to integrate and talk to old people.

I enjoy books that feel real, tragic, psychologically heavy, or emotionally intense. I do not know, I just want to feel sad or I don't know cry maybe.

I used to read books like: Voltaire, Camus, Viktor Frankl, and Wittgenstein but now I transitioned to reading fiction novels my most favorite is Bell Jar, The Convenience Store Woman and Girl In Pieces.

The way I think is very curious, and reflective. Too reflective actually to a point where I suffer from it. I like asking why things are the way they are. I enjoy breaking ideas apart, connecting them to other ideas, and seeing patterns between things that may not look related at first. I can go from talking about daily life to psychology, science, philosophy, language, trauma, discipline, learning, or the human mind very quickly.

I like conversations that have substance. I do not mind casual talk, but I usually connect better with people who are honest, curious, and open minded. I enjoy people who can talk about books, personal experiences, strange questions, science, emotions, society, and the absurdity of life without making everything too shallow.

If you’re also looking for a genuine friend somewhere in the EU, feel free to message me.

I was planning on writing a short post but freaking post kept saying that what I'm writing is low effort. Jesus. Christ. Fine! I don't know how many paragraphs should I write for this to be considered not a low effort post.

I think many people can relate to this. You move somewhere, you try to build a life, you meet people, but genuine connection is not always easy to find. Sometimes conversations stay shallow. Sometimes people are busy with their own circles. Sometimes you just feel like you do not fully belong anywhere yet.

Hallo, ich suche eine platonische Freundschaft.

Ich wohne in Österreich und habe schon einen Partner, deshalb suche ich nichts Romantisches. Ich suche einfach jemanden, mit dem ich ehrlich reden und langsam eine normale Freundschaft aufbauen kann.

Mein Deutsch ist ungefähr auf B1-Niveau, also mache ich noch Fehler. Ich möchte trotzdem mehr auf Deutsch sprechen und üben.

Meine Interessen sind Wissenschaft, Psychologie, Hörbücher, Sprachenlernen, Deutsch üben, tiefere Gespräche, und Kickboxen. Ich mag Menschen, die ehrlich, neugierig, ein bisschen komisch und offen für echte Gespräche sind. :)

Ich rede gern über ernste Themen, aber auch über zufälligen Unsinn. Ich suche jemanden, der freundlich, konstant und offen für eine echte Freundschaft ist.

Schreib mir gern, wenn du Interesse hast. :))

I have some questions:

what actually helped you become more disciplined and functional?

What specific systems, habits, or mindset shifts helped you become more consistent?

How you built discipline without killing curiosity

How you stopped overthinking and started executing

How you manage boredom with repetitive tasks

What mistakes wasted years of your life?

I used to think that having a fellow intuitive is good... oh hell no. My ex boyfriend is an INFJ--they just... they just won't stop talking about conspiracy theories... I know not every INFJs is like that.

But I love practicality, competence, peace and quiet that my ISTJ husband brings.

We are nothing a like. But damn, whatever I am lacking he makes up for it. He keeps me grounded.

He doesn't give any advice but when I ask him and poke him-he gives me the most practical answers and I fucking love it.

He is quite fucking good at manuals, procedures and instructions.

Very patient and observant as well. Quite good at leadership but hates being a leader.

He is my favorite person. That motherfucker...

So yeah, you ISTJs, you have qualities I wish I have. That's all I'm trying to say.

-INTP

What are your strategies?

I'll start:

Mine is brain dumping.

As soon as I wake up. I immediately write down the things I worry about, things that bothered me, people who were crap, people who offended me, me not being able to finish some to-do list, or sometimes about a nightmare.

It's like getting things out of your head. It's like scribbling no formal writing.

Example:

"I need to clean the cat litter box--god I feel lazy. I don't wanna do it. But I must"

Or:

"I dreamt that my brother was super nice to me. I hate this dreams because in reality it's so different. Well, fuck him. Blablabla"

Would love to hear yours!
