Looking for friends (besides reddit) & belated bday ideas

Good morning! Chaotic week in Shanghai. I came here to study, spent the whole week doing admin stuff and finding an apartment (which I haven't found). It's so tiring 😩. It was my bday yesterday and being alone sucked. I have spent my bday alone before but this is different. The feeling of all the accumulated worries (finding apartment, starting sch etc) + being alone just makes me feel extra alone in a big city

Terrible experience of getting 'scammed' when meeting the first property agent and getting my WeChat info sold -_- lesson learnt and that includes meeting any online people :(

For context I am a 26F, introverted and I don't drink

How did you meet people?

What did you do on ur bday?

Pls gimmie ideas 💡 I understand I could just ask AI this but I need some human interactions 😭

Edit: I am not a scammer!! Also not looking for ppl via reddit because after all the xhs renting drama, I m done with meeting ppl online unless they seem real (texts like a human being/ gen z n not some AI robot) -_-

I think my enamel just chipped off??

Got fillings done on this tooth 2 months ago so I thought it was the filling. No sensitivity. The colour of the chipped area looks to be the same as the other tooth aside from a small portion that's slightly yellow. Contacted my dental clinic just to be sure. The dentist said it was not filling so now I am freaking out. Booked an appt 3 days later.

I just switched dentist 3 months ago, because my previous one had a bad attitude and I was badly affected by how he never offered anesthesia, n other reasons. Anyways this new dentist did an x-ray (for the first time in years since I took out my braces, the previous one never bothered). And we discovered I have deep cavities, one in an old filling and another new cavity in the neighboring tooth. Mind u I go for my 6 month routine checkup but the previous dentist just did not do x-ray to check the extent of decay. Fast forward to a month after she did the filling for those deep decay, one of it started hurting really bad, ended up doing a RCT and is now waiting for my permanent crown. Lots of issues with my teeth that are partially my fault for not brushing well during my braces days and post braces because well I wasn't in the best place mentally so I did the best I could...

Now I have so many problems. Gum infection at the area with the deep fillings, itchy gums at different areas, more fillings to be done. I decided to cancel a diving trip next month because I don't feel mentally ready and with so many issues. In addition I have the opportunity to work overseas for 6 months. Now I am sad n spiralling at home, scared that more issues will come up when I am overseas. I am going to tell my dentist my concerns, she's really nice and explains things to me while giving me evidence (x-rays), which is why despite so many issues I still want to go to her. Was spiralling really badly that I couldn't focus and kept thinking imma lose my tooth
