Good point. I suppose you are exempt from the rule.

Oh, but you know what they say, don't you? When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.

Hey boo. Are you still living the high life in London or did you tire of it?

Hi there!
Apologies for the randomness of my message, but I saw you comment on a thread earlier in the year saying that you'd worked at a nationwide recruitment consultancy for over a year, and I was wondering whether I could possibly ask you a couple of questions about the work?

Thanks very much!

That's rather a long story.

If you don't mind me asking, which arts degree do you have? I've read your message on the graduates thread, and your experiences were very interesting!

You think im not boring? Ok,so ill think im an interesting girl from now on
well, clubbing isnt not so bad, its just British life style.
I feel better now thank to you. Ill try something new to make my life brighter maybe a part time job rather than stay at my room all the time
btw, love your pikachu very much, is it going to give me a hug?

OMG, thanks so much for such a helpful rep!
I feel very warm now knowing my thought can be shared with other, especially an experienced like you (I think).
When I was 18, i thought I was old and I had to act like an truly adult : wise, caring, calm. Now I am nearly 20 and still a child, i mean still cant find a way for the future and an ego. so im really panic. I think if i can find a major purpose for my life or only a passion, I ll stick to it and can stop worrying. But the thing is what purpose?

Was it hard for you to find your purpose of life? you know, for an international student ( im from Vietnam) judging which values is actually priority in life is not easy : old or new one? traditional values of my country or western life style ? There are various Vietnamese students in my uni but interestingly I quite prefer British ones. Some of my flatmates are very friendly and cute but my speaking and listening is bad so there is still a distance. Also i cant get used to going clubbing while all the topics of the girls are about going out, getting drunk...(

I joined Break dance society and met some cute friends there.

TbH, I tried my best to make friends at first, sometimes pretend to be confident like your "fake confidence" but after some aftermath conversations they seemed to have a distance with me. That made me like " Am i that boring???"

Since then, Im not confident enough to start a convo with anyone.
In conclusion, I think my problem is
1. too much Failure --> lack of confidence even fake confidence
2. bad English ---> every time I say something, its like a very silly thing
3.boring, not good at communication, I really admire English, they all have a sense of humour

Am I thinking too much (

Hi!
Ive just read your "Things I wish I'd known at 18". really impressive i have to admit
I am sooo depressed ritenow : fresher, international student, bad English,so boring to have a proper close friend although i tried so hard, lack of confidence, feel like Im only a zero

Im really confused, cant find any purpose to live. I judge everything, dont believe in people, dont believe in things

how can i get my confidence back? How can I be a little bit more wise. Im 19 now and it seemed tobe better when Im younger

I know noone lives here, but the rent is cheap and it's on the Northern Line, win-win! I moved to be nearer my boyfriend, a couple of my friends and get a decent job. And I was kinda bored of the North...why did you move out?
