I’ve had friends before, but I don’t think I’ve ever had the kind of friendships where I genuinely felt fully comfortable and connected without constantly feeling out of place or embarrassed. In school we all seem similar enough, but outside of school it feels completely different.

I recently went out with my school friends and the entire time I felt like the odd one out. I enjoy dressing nicely, being a little calmer in public, talking about deeper or more interesting things, and just having a certain vibe. My friends are very loud, childish, and attention-seeking in public, and instead of enjoying the hangout, I just felt drained and irritated.

I feel guilty saying this because I’m not trying to judge or think I’m “better” than anyone. I just crave friendships with people who naturally match my personality, interests, humor, and energy. People I can genuinely admire and feel understood by.

Why does it feel so hard to find friends you truly click with?

I watched countless tutorials and tried every tip I could find, but I’m still struggling so much with using a menstrual cup for the first time 😭 I bought a size S after hearing so much hype around cups, yet it’s been surprisingly painful and frustrating.

I genuinely feel like I’m doing something wrong because I still can’t insert it properly, and I can barely even figure out where the opening is supposed to be. Is it normal for it to hurt this much at first?

And a thought of anything inside me for hours is freaking me out so much....it just feels odd i should've realised this before wasting my money on it

And no ive never inserted anything external large and wide before , i thought menstrual cups won't cause me trouble because I'm used to with fingers ... But when you're dry its like hell.

Also, this might sound irrational, but the thought of it somehow getting “lost” inside is stressing me out 😭

At this point I feel like I wasted my money because I still had to go back to pads. My mom never really explained these things to me, so I’ve been trying to figure everything out on my own.

I got myself a menstrual cup cuz pads used to make me feel dirty and the wet feeling was gross

Also i was running out of pads so i thought let's give menstrual cup a try.. and oh my god even tho it's size S I can't put it in I tried everything it fucking hurts when it unfolds I feel like my skin will strech out and I can't even put it in properly 😭😭😭 r u suppose to feel ur menstrual cup?? I can't even walk properly when it's in, evrrybody said it's more comfortable than pads but I don't see it maybe i didn't put it in properly what do i do im sitting with using socks now Pls help me ..😭😭

I'm genuinely curious how do I get people buy those products it's been 3 days and i got 25 clicks and 1 sales AND IM STARTING TO GIVE UP ON IT ALREADY I don't have big audience in any plateforms i want somebody to tell me how it works for them

I’m curious about what a realistic and healthy life looks like for a 19-year-old woman today.

Not the “perfect Instagram life,” but actual priorities.

Should she be focusing on studies/career, or is it okay to still feel lost and experiment?

How important is:

building independence (financial + emotional)?

friendships vs relationships?

physical health and appearance?

trying new things vs sticking to a clear path?

Also, what are things she shouldn’t stress about yet?

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure to have everything figured out early, but that doesn’t seem realistic. I’d love to hear honest experiences what mattered for you at 19, and what didn’t in the long run?

I'm facing difficulties to sleep early for months.

I always end up sleeping in the morning and wakeup in afternoon and pretty much tired of my life.

I feel like this could be the reason I'm feeling depressed recently...

I'm a person who overthinks alot and this makes me stay awake in the night

It's been a month i started going to the gym and my weight is stuck after i lost 4 pounds even tho I'm doing everything i can't seem to drop more

I wonder if my sleeping schedule is the problem...
