Hi friends!!

I’m a 26 F (EST) looking for someone to play Stardew Valley with! I’ve played for years with multiple saves and love this game but have never done co-op and think it would be really fun to create a farm with someone.

I’d love to play with someone who I can play consistently with and hopefully long term. I’m usually free every weekend to play or during the week after 6pm.

I play on my switch or I’d be open to mobile.

I’m available all day today pretty much to start if anyone is down.

Also, it would be nice just to make a friend out of it! :)

Hi everyone!! I apologize in advance for this long post.

I am a 26F looking for honest advice about dating, confidence, and how to put myself out there. This is my first time really talking about this and asking for advice regarding this topic, so please be kind.

I’m plus size, a virgin, and I’ve never had a serious boyfriend. Lately, I’ve been struggling with the feeling that I’m undesirable, and it’s made it hard for me to picture things like falling in love, having a relationship, or eventually getting married. I know those things aren’t guaranteed for anyone, but sometimes it feels like they’re especially out of reach for me.

Over time, I’ve gotten very comfortable being alone and not dating. In some ways, that’s been peaceful—but I also worry I’ve become too comfortable with giving up. I try dating apps, but they make me incredibly self-conscious. Even when I use pictures I like, I still worry they don’t fully represent how I look in person, and I get anxious about being judged or disappointing someone and never end up setting up a date because of that. The fear of rejection for me is strong. On top of that, being 26 and still a virgin brings up a lot of insecurity for me. It’s hard to imagine being intimate with someone when I already feel so uncomfortable in my body and struggle with confidence.

I guess I’m posting because I want advice from people who may have felt similarly. How did you build confidence? How did you start putting yourself out there when dating felt intimidating? How do you stop feeling like you should just give up on love because you don’t fit what feels “desirable”? I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from anyone who’s worked through body insecurity, late dating experiences, or fear around intimacy.

If you’ve gotten this far, thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
