I have been in Ireland for the past 11 years under refugees program. Hundreds of families have been here on the same program as well. As of my knowledge we are allowed to apply for the Irish naturalisation after 3 years of residency but it changed recently.

All my family members received their passports around Covid time. Many other families received it before us, except me.
I was underage when my parents applied for me, after two years I got back the documents… being rejected for being over 18.

Again, I applied as an adult and it’s been nearly 4 years now!
I keep trying to contact them over and over and sending endless emails and asking politicians to represent me and demand an answer. All I get back is automated replies every 3-6 months.
Sometimes they ask me to not contact them anymore unless it’s emergency.

The worst part is… seeing those who came to Ireland 7 years after us receiving their passport one by one. It makes me so upset. Makes me lose hope in life. I am the only one who actually works from all those families. I work so hard to prove myself it’s in my blood I just want to achieve all my dreams and contribute and live a good life.

I have never ever received any social welfare such as job seeker when all those who got passports are all on social welfare and do nothing with their lives but stay at home and attend gatherings and enjoy their free time. I can see it all with my eyes… I know them all. Every month I find out someone new got a passport.

What do you mean when they have been in Ireland for 3 years and 7 months sitting at home and they still revived their passports within 7 months of submitting documents?

I don’t know what to do at this point! I am having very bad thoughts which I keep ignoring.. I don’t have interest in doing anything good or even going to work. I am starting to think those who depend on government have a better life than me and much better good luck!

I tried to submit a new application earlier but it cannot since it would be a duplicate. I considered contacting a solicited to represent me but I think it will take as much time and money.

Did anyone else wait that long for the naturalisation?

I am getting sick of this very old woman.
I am not while so ever since I started work I could feel all this hate only towards me! My friend does the same exactly work as me sits beside me but receives all the love from this Karen and she acts so cute to her! While she shows so much hate towards me!

When she walks she glares at me like I destroyed her life or something!
When I cough or clear my throat she copies me and I have it all recorded I kept coughing and clearing my throat on purpose for 20 minutes and she kept doing it right after me go intimated me of bother me! I have it all recorded cuz I had enough!

She once shushed me when I was talking to another colleague.
When I was sick she gave out and asked me to work from home saying it’s either me or her at the workplace. She then went home right after but stopped in front of my colleague and told her that she is going home because of me because I will make her sick too!

She told me I was selfish and because of one person the whole office will work from home. I told her I am not allowed to work from home yet! I was nice but she is never.

I don’t know, I am pretty upset I feel hated for being different even tho I am probably the nicest at the office! Everyone happy having a normal office life but me!

What can I do?

I feel like my existence just bothers her so much! 😔

I don’t want to feel this hate everyday, I asked to switch departments but they don’t have the capacities!

Plz advise me.

I had a small argument with my bf before the day he went on a vacation. We are in love distance relationship. His reactions to the argument were pretty cold which made me emotional and upset. I blocked him everywhere and I woke up the next morning unblocked him and wished him a safe trip etc.

He ignored me for the whole day and is pretty cold to me. Specially after he found out the I blocked him from last evening.

It is the first time ever he is this cold. He can’t spend his time alone without texting me non stop and calling me in every chance he gets.

I don’t know, I am worried if he is okay or not? I keep thinking if he is affected, maybe he is depressed, or doesn’t care about me at all. I wonder if this is our breakup or him taking his time. I keep sending him messages every few hours checking on him and hoping he enjoys his trip.

I don’t want to wake him up but he isn’t replying and it makes me more upset. I keep thinking fine let’s end it or no what if he needs time.

It is partly my fault but I was really emotional and upset.

I have a meeting tomorrow to provide recommendations for our company’s DEI week. I am looking for serious examples of initiatives that have worked in corporate environments.

Not interested in NSFW or sharing very personal info.
Looking for a casual chat before sleep.

I’ve been at my job for a while now, and there is one guy who stands out because of his hot voice and how little he speaks to me. While every other coworker says hi, bye, and makes small talk, this man has never once said "hello" to me even when he sits right behind me.

However, the energy feels very specific. Here is the breakdown:
The Glancing: I constantly catch him looking at me. If he’s turning around or talking to a group, his eyes land on me first but then he immediately looks away and won't look back.

The Tension: There is this heavy eye-contact tension (almost "sedated" or intense) when our eyes do meet, but he seems to go quiet/stiff whenever I’m nearby.

Avoidance: It feels like he’s intentionally avoiding me, but not in a mean way more like he’s self-conscious.

The Matching Incident: One day we accidentally wore matching outfits. We both seemed genuinely happy about it, and I’ve noticed he definitely "checks" what I’m wearing every day.

The Mystery: He never talks about a partner, only his sister or family events.

Is he just shy and intimidated, or am I totally misreading "dislike" as "attraction"? How can I test the waters without making work awkward?

We encountered a problem sharing your post. <a>Try again</a>

Did anyone come across this type of error before? How did you solve the issue? It’s been two days and it won’t let me share!

I wonder what the issue could be. Thanks. 🌸
