hey guys, I am Marco 15 years old from Switzerland. I just started highschool in summer and I actually got into a nice group of friends that unlike many others are very kind and respectful. But what I have a bit a problem with is that they can easily talk with each other but I never talk much. I don't know what to do about it, and when they ask why I' m so quiet or never talk I don't know what to say. And that makes me think that I am uninteresting and boring, which I don't think, I just can't socialise. Thank you so much for helping me out!😊

This is kinda silly and unserious i think very different to whats normally posted but, I recently discovered a song called "wherever i lay my hat (thats my home)" and ive been obsessed with it. Just got me thinking if anyone has a similar taste in music to me haha

Hey everyone !! I hope that you guys are doing good with your lives . I wanna talk about something that's been bothering me to a very high extent . So , in my day-to-day life , I usually hide my spiritual / mental perspective from my parents because I still live with them and I know that if I show my " real self " , I will definitely get harmed . So , the day before yesterday Dad was scrolling and saw a " covered woman " , as they refer to them in the concept of religion , doing a TikTok live , walking outside and speaking He started to judge her and attack her and telling me this is not a woman , she's not polite ( the meaning of polite here is shrinking herself outside because men told her so ) , when I defended her , I was the one harmed ( mentally ) cuz I knew that deep down the goal of the whole conversation was to show how ( righteous ) he is and how that what I was talking about was an absolute trash though I know that it was pure patriarchal beliefs that he was tryna indoctrinate in my mind . He tried to religiously guilt trip me saying oh I doubt your religion . And of course what he used to reinforce his arguments " religion " , to make me fear the fact that a prophet or God said something misogynistic , I have to accept it because a holy person said so , without thinking or questioning whether it's trash or something logical . I had an anxiety attack because a boundary of mine was " abused " , and the fact that I couldn't escape the conversation . And you have my mother from the other side justifying and praising what he was saying to feed his ego more and more . He has done this whole thing yesterday too , and it was so hard for me to take , I had a lump in my throat ( but I didn't want to cry ) , I told him yes , it is okay if a woman is being herself outside , is yelling , calling someone she knows from a farm distance . The only goal was to indulge his beliefs intoy mind , when he really can't because I'm aware , I'm not a 15 year old anymore , I'm grown and I know what he's about .

Hi, my name is Bryce. I am currently a senior in college who has ambitions to work in the sports industry and to be successful in life. For a long time, I have struggled with things like lust, gossip, caffeine, overspending, and emotional eating along with other mental health issues. I have been working hard to overcome these problems and I have made great progress thus far, but in order to make that breakthrough, I must gain more strength to resist all temptations that come my way and replace them with healthy habits. At the same time, I shall seek the support and accountability necessary to make progress, which is why I’m here. It is all thanks to God Almighty that I have made progress despite all the difficulty and that I have been able to improve in many areas, and He said to me that this group will be very helpful in my walk with Christ as well as how to live a more productive lifestyle. With that being said, I am looking forward to growing with everyone here in this community and to become the man that God intended me to be. Thank you very much and you all have an amazing day! Cheers!

Basically theres this girl that I developed a bit of a crush on without knowing who she was. So to prioritize my peace I kicked her out of my mind cause I needed to focus on myself. Recently I’ve been seeing her a bit more and I want to try and spark something, anything. Ive been trying to get more comfortable with small talk so ive been talking to more people, ive been observing things and commenting on them. But I just freeze or do my own thing when its her, either she has nothing to comment on or I am afraid of just trying, I feel like im overthinking things. I tell my mind that i dont want to make it obvious i want to know her but isnt that exactly what I want? I want to try something, some people ive asked have said to just shoot the shot cause Ive got nothing to lose, others have said to not force anything, and others have said to kinds force something but dont make anything obvious. At this point its more about me than a connection, but hey a connection would be nice.
