I'm curious about your perspective. I've been told that I'm a pretty chill and laid-back guy, but someone I liked once said she lost interest because I wasn't serious enough.

I’d say I'm a pretty confident person and I take care of myself, but personality-wise I'm very relaxed. When my friends playfully tease me or mess around with me, I usually don't react aggressively or try to fight back. I just laugh it off or ignore it because I don't feel the need to prove myself over small things.

Do girls see this kind of personality as unattractive or as a good quality? Is there a difference between a guy who's "chill" and a guy who seems like he doesn't care about anything?

What makes a chill guy attractive, and what makes him seem immature or not serious?

I applied for UK unis and got an unconditional offer, but if im going UK i'll have to leave like next month and thats so soon🥀. Should i just go uni here?

I was bullied during three different phases of my school life.

When I was 5 or 6 years old, some of my schoolmates forced me to eat flowers and leaves from the ground, and they even locked me in a room.

Then, when I was 14–16 years old, another type of bullying started. During exam days, some classmates would constantly come to me asking for answers because I usually scored the highest marks in the entire division. I had severe anxiety before exams, and they knew that, yet they still kept pressuring me for answers, even when I was having panic attacks.

Around that same time, I also attended tuition classes. Because I got good grades, a couple of teachers gave me a little extra attention and encouragement. Some of the boys there started spreading rumors that I had slept with two of those teachers and that was the reason I got good grades.

I've mostly moved on and don't feel sorry for myself anymore. What I really want to know is: are there other students who have experienced or are currently experiencing bullying from classmates, schoolmates, teachers, or even people at tuition or other extracurricular classes—whether physically or mentally? I'd like to know I'm not the only one.🥲( It will help with my little research)

I'm using Sampath Vishwa, and in the app I see an option called "web card" and right below it I see "PayPal". As what I've heard from a friend, the web card can be used to conduct online transactions without giving my card details. But then that's kinda the same thing PayPal does, hiding your info.

Is there an actual difference between those services? If yes, what are they? And what is more beneficial to use?

edit: I'm new to banking so any knowledge that can be shared about it is greatly appreciated :)

I need some hard drives to store my movie and game installation files. They don't need to be new or fast. since i plan to move them from those drives to my NVME when plan to use them. They just need to store the files.

Recently, two of my friends told me they keep looking at the clock exactly at 11:11, and it's been happening quite often. They both think it's a bit strange.

Has this happened to anyone else? Do you keep noticing the same time over and over, especially 11:11? I'm curious to hear your experiences.

Soo, currently have a bootleg Gibson acoustic (literally called Grason istg), looking to branch out into the hobby and buy an electric. Something relatively inexpensive, under 100k. Suggestions on guitar and amp models, stores to browse, etc... would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking for an active community where people can openly discuss science and share ideas, but outside of university-based groups there doesn’t seem to be anything accessible. Most existing options are either university-linked or have strict requirements and regulations that make it difficult for general participation.

For example, joining some established science groups like IOBSL involves formal processes, and they are mainly structured around academic or institutional members rather than open discussion.

Because of this, I wanted to ask: Is there any existing open group where people discuss and share science ideas casually? If not, I’d like to suggest starting a simple Discord community focused on general science discussion. The idea is to create a space where anyone interested can: Share and discuss science ideas Ask questions and learn together Exchange interesting research or articles Have casual, respectful science-related conversations

We can start small and informal, and if it becomes active and stable, we can later improve it or expand it into something more structured. If anyone is interested, please comment or message. Even a small group is enough to start.

I went to a boys school and we had a female teacher for every year we had that topic. And every time we were given a reading assignment while they had to go to 'the office' for something urgent. Now I am studying Maths for ALs, I don't think I am educated on that topic at all

I'm interested in starting clipping i want to know if it's possible or even worth it

These dudes started at 9th grade bruh...they started smoking at the age of 15... isn't that crazy?? I'm currently at grade 12 and they all stopped inviting me to general hang outs and b-day parties...why? Simple,because i don't smoke or drink...i could have easily fallen to that trap of"just try it bro" but i know better..i have friends that fell for it and now they can't stop...They even actively called me out on this...My dad is an abusive drinker and i know what drink has done to that man..and i don't wanna end up like him.And now we no longer hang out...What would you have done in my situation?

Im trying to make some friends yk.

The only issue is that I turned 20 back in April and I’m not sure if that’s an issue since the subreddit is literally called “Sri Lankan Teens”. If it is an issue I’ll leave, no problem.

I am a 18 F currently trying to get my shit together because I’m writing my AL in a year. I’m doing English lit, Japanese and Greek history and I’m finding it hard to juggle all three subjects. I keep on making time tables and studying but it never seems to work out. On top of that I’m a private candidate so I don’t have any backing from school. I try different methods to study but I always end up either giving up or not understanding anything I’m studying… I’m about to accept that I’m cooked. Sooo HELPPPPPP…..

So I grew up in Malaysia since I was 4 and I’ve never had a Sinhalese friend, I see posts on tiktok/insta of those tight knit female friendgroups and I want to be in one so bad😭 literally so old and never had a friend from my own country omg like I’d love to talk to someone my age about stuff I can relate with them to, the Chinese kids here are just mean asf
