Just a little curious since I have no other WGU friends to chat with about it :)

For girls, the dating world sucks. I know there’s a lot of shitty women out there as well, but me along with almost every girl I know has lost all hope in men romantically. I can find a man to pay the bills, whatever. I can find someone to go on dates with, okay. But I’ll never truly find a man who just loves and adores me. Where arguments aren’t arguments and they’re actual adult discussions.

God almighty, don’t get me started on loyalty. Every relationship nowadays always has so much disloyalty and lusting outside of the relationship. I don’t care if I seem like a prude or like I engage in purity culture, I want to be the one you have eyes for. I want to be the one you save those thoughts, emotions, and intimate moments with. I’m so annoyed society acts like that’s so beyond crazy to ask for? Never once have I not laid out my hard boundaries at the beginning of the relationships I get in, and they’re always pushed. I already have bad mental health, the way I’ve been treated has literally pushed me to my edge too many times to count. I’m just going to accept that I’ll live my life alone, unless maybe the right girl comes along.

I’m tired of feeling sad all the time man. The amount of anxiety I experience on the daily basis is ungodly. Everyday I’m waking up, laying in bed and staring at the wall for hours, then going back to bed once I get tired enough to sleep. I don’t even feel pretty anymore. I literally want to cover every mirror up with sheets and avoid looking at myself.

Even when I felt pretty it didn’t even matter because I’m such a weird out of place person. I’ve never really fit in with anyone, even on a personal level and I don’t think I ever will. That’s the sad part, it feels pointless that I’m even sitting here miserable. Like sure there’s ups and downs. But it’s just been down down down down down down down.

And you know what? Fuck trying to be positive minded. I’ve kind of just given in to the cycle of negative thoughts all the time. I hate feeling like I’m lying to myself or being the false version of myself. If I’m feeling shitty, then I feel shitty. I refuse to fake being happy for people who put me in this position in the first place. I don’t have friends, I don’t want to bother my family. I’m just frustrated. Everything and everyone frustrates me.

One thing I don’t understand is misogynistic men who clearly despise women for existing not wanting to take that title for being a misogynist. “Well it’s because it’s a negative association,” so are the comments they make?

For example, I’ve been seeing a lot of cases online where a woman is in a horrible, brutal situation like rape, burglary, murder, etc. and the comments always have these loser men talking about some stupid bear shit and making memes on it. Or they oddly try to bring up male issues magically acting like they give a fuck. It’s like these selective weirdos try so hard to miss the point of any message that is sent towards them.

It’s so aggravating. Why do you hate us so so much? Why does us existing make you want to hurt us and belittle us? What did we do so bad to deserve this everywhere we go? Online, in public, even in our own homes? Most importantly, why are you such a pussy that you can’t own the shit you say? Say it to your mom the way you do random women online, and your boss or coworkers, say it to the women you take on first dates. If you can’t, take a second to realize why it’s so bad and wrong that you have to hold that back. You shouldn’t have to imagine a woman as someone close in your life to have some empathy as a human.

I just started this class recently and holy cow am I struggling. I feel like the videos don’t explain anything very well or descriptively at all. Majority of what I’ve seen in the course itself is the videos on percipio and the guy in the video doesn’t show any (or very few) images really on what he’s referring to and does a terrible job at explaining from beginning to end.

I’m glad I had previous experience in my previous IT classes. If I hadn’t, this course would take me an unnecessary amount of extra time researching and teaching the material to myself from google.

Has anyone else felt this from this class? If there was a better way you found to learn the material please share, I’ll take any advice I can get!

Idk what to do I can barely read the screen. I got upset at my bf over a food situation and asked him to acknowledge that he made me upset and it spiraled. He dragged me off the bed and started smacking me in the head. Mid way through I started crying and saying I didn’t want to hurt him. He kept saying no keep fucking hitting me hit me in the face. HIT ME HIT ME.

We came downstairs and he started nonstop smacking me in the head. I ran out of energy fighting back and he got me in a chokehold. I started screaming I can’t breathe and he kept telling me to be quiet bc we have neighbors really close. I managed to get out of it after and he was too worn out to keep going. He went upstairs and said we’ll fight later. I am so sad. I’m not even as upset over him putting his hands on me as I am him not considering me or my feelings. I have my name on the house and loan so I can’t just leave. I have nobody to tell. I don’t know what to do please give me any advice. I’m so scared of being alone.

Me and my bf have gone through something rough recently and I want to lift him up a bit and make him feel happier about it. I want to write him a poem and take him somewhere to read it to him.

I was wondering for dane county or the surrounding areas possibly if people had some ideas of places that I could take him to that are romantic or have pretty views to look at. (preferably free or cheap bc we’re broke asfk rn)

If you ever think that you’re alone, you’re not. If you think someone isn’t thinking of you, I am.

I am just sitting here upset about something in my life and thought about how many people are probably in the same spot. Not sure if this will reach anyone who might need it but I’ll write it just in case. You are important, you are your own person. If you’re in a bad spot and need help just reach out. Whether it’s to a hotline or even me. You are here for a reason. Please don’t give up if you are considering it.

I’m not sure if this point will be relatable to anyone but I am so alone in this whole process so I figured I’d write a bit about it.

This is my third term and in this term I’m going to at least finish off with 14 classes completed. I have 17 classes to go for my degree but only a month left in this term. I feel so defeated, like I’m not doing good enough. My brain feels so fried from cramming so much into it. I keep kicking myself in the ass for all the time I wasted before not getting my school done quicker.

It doesn’t help that I pay out of pocket for school and have no financial help. That’s been my motivator. I feel like I could’ve saved around five thousand dollars if I just applied myself better. The whole reason I chose WGU was to save money and now I’m halfway regretting it because I could’ve gotten a degree at my local university for the same price. Not trying to knock WGU or anything of course, I mean I chose it myself.

Does anyone else feel this way? I feel like I’m going crazy and no one really understands it in my personal life.

I don’t know if it’s just me or what, but it feels almost impossible to get any scholarship from WGU if you aren’t a beginner at the school. Is it just me?

Maybe I’m just too stupid to win anything from these scholarships, but I tried applying for like six and got back to back emails saying I didn’t win any. It just feels pointless even applying since I could be spending that time doing my schoolwork.

Please let me know if anyone experiences the same or has any advice. Thank you for taking time to read.
