Not now, because I haven't reached a high enough level (imo at least) but I want to join Spanish-centred servers/circles online. I dont live in an area where there Spanish is spoken so thats why im focusing more on online. But I feel like an imposter, or an 'outsider' whenever I think of joining these groups, it's much different than a non-native English speaker joining an English server because English is a 'universal' language.

I understand that culture, maybe, could be an issue but thats a different story. Have you, as a learner, joined a specific server/forum/circle/etc of a Spanish speaking country and didnt feel like your an outsider?

Maybe its because work being slow and thus im 'free' most of the time so i got nothing to do but complain. Problem is I keep complaining 24/7 and I do NOTHING about it.

For example i complain about being bored, and I can do hobbies but i dont, I just scroll thru social media. It's because i dont enjoy the hobby, because im only a beginner at it so i always, again, complain that 'whats the point if ill suck at it?'. Another thing is the job, while im doing nothing there i complain about it being boring and instead of applying to other jobs, i dont, because i know ill probably be busy and I don't want that. Whenever someone tells me to take action of whatever im complaining about, I make up unnecessary reasons for it & complain again instead.

How can I stop this? this started to bother my family & friends and I want it to end.

holaaa tengo 26 años y quiero mejorar mi español con cualquier persona que quiera aprender inglés. Quiero mejorar mi habilidad de escritura sin utilizar un traductor

Me gusta ver películas y series. Y me gusta aprender sobre psicología y lenguas también pero si quieres hablar sobre cualquier temas, estoy abierto a ello👍🏼

P.S. todavía no quiero practicar mi habilidad para hablar, solo escribir

TLDR: I keep latching on to my family's friends because I dont have anyone to talk to & its pathetic of me to do that. The friends are NOT my friends and will never be, even if we talk once in a while.

i hope this is the right sub. Anyways, because of social anxiety its been really hard for me to connect with people. Either online or in person, even if we share the same hobbies/interests for example, i STILL cant seem to connect with someone or at least have a little chat with each other (i usually dont know how to continue a convo properly) and that made me pathetic. Why? because i latch onto other people's friends & i hate it.

Like my sibling has friend A & whenever friend A comes around i keep talking to them. We're on good terms, but because i dont have friends of my own i keep wanting to form a connection with my sibling's friend when in the end, ill never be friends because its my sibling's friend and I know that its not a good thing but because i want that connection I keep latching on to other people's friends and in a way its easier (since i know them from my siblings). Of course I try to minimise the talks because im very aware of my behaviour & I dont want to be that type of person

Another example is that my cousin had a party & would invite their friends over and i've met my cousins friends multiple times before and they are fun to be with but anyways the party was cancelled and I was upset...not because of the party being cancelled, its because my cousin's friends werent able to come so I can talk to them...they're very cool people & its just lame on my end that I was upset because of that. who am I to be upset?? they arent my friends and will never be, they are my cousins friends. Because I dont have anyone to talk to that shares the same interest i just keep doing this over & over again. and its very pathetic.

hello, does anyone have any recommendations for 'older' british shows? shows that are made in the 70s/80s. Im not american but I would like to expand my knowledge on more British TV than American ones.

I love sitcoms and my favourites are The Dick Van Dyke show, The Odd couple, Golden Girls, Fraiser (even tho it was made in 90s) to name a few. If there are any series with the same vibes that would be great but also you can say your favourites, it doesnt matter lol
