Help, I want to fit in!
I am a seventeen-year-old homeschooler and until this September I have not been in any environments with public-schoolers. I recently got a job at my local pool as a swim instructor/lifeguard and have been spending time with my new coworkers who seem very different from me. Most of them are my peers and I desperately want to fit in with them, but don't know where to start. I don't understand most of what my coworkers talk about, I only use a minimal amount of slang, I've never dated anyone, I don't swear, and altogether I feel weird, awkward, insecure, and irrelevant. If you are a public-schooled teen, please help me know how to become more attractive and relatable to my coworkers while still being myself.
How do you deal with people gossiping about you behind your back?
Share your most interesting shower thoughts
I was taking a shower and a thought came to me that one day, someone will be talking about me as their long lost ancestor, and I think that's crazy. What are some other funny shower thoughts you've had recently?
Should I cut someone toxic out of my life?
I have someone in my life that I've determined is toxic and doesn't make me feel good. But it's so much more complicated than that – we have history, we've had good times together, and cutting them off completely feels like a big jump that I'm not sure I'm reaady for. If I cut them off, will I experience regret or negative blowback? What might go wrong if I do? Maybe I just need a pep talk...
I want to become a lifelong learner
Now that i'm not in school I feel like I'm not learning many new things anymore? Idk, I feel like I want to be a "lifelong learner" type and want to be more in touch with that side of myself but life always gets in the way. Would love tips for feeling like I'm using my brain more and learning new things!
How do I start writing a diary?
One of my resolutions this year is to start a diary, but I've never had one before. Does anyone have any tips on how to get started? Not totally sure what I should write about or how to even format the entries. I'd also love any advice on how to stick to writing in it every day!
What qualities make up a good person?
Okay listen, I know that no one is perfect, but there are definitely qualities that make someone a "good" or "decent" human. I like to think me and my friends fall under that category, but I'd love to hear what qualities other people think are important for being a good person too.
What to do when you're really lonely?
I've honestly been struggling with feeling alone lately and I can't see to get out of the funk. Like I don't think anyone is purposefully trying to make me feel left out, but I'm still lonely a lot of the time. I'm sure there's been a lot of people who've been through this, so do you have any advice on what I should do?
