The adults around you don’t expect anything more from you than for you to be a teenager. When I was a teenager, I spent a lot of time comparing myself to others. Because many teenagers are smarter, more diligent, accomplished, friendly, etc. that no one would ever want to pick me. When really all anyone wants from you is for you to be on time, polite, and ready to learn. They’ll figure out something for you to do. Every adult around you was once a teenager who knew nothing until someone showed them how to do a job.

your body gets used to it the more you do it. decrease the amount of exercise you start with and work your way up in small increments.

I had a bit of a rough time with my first civ pro reading, but the professor was amazing. Like I had a moment where I reflected in amazement that the horrible reading and awesome lecture covered the same material.

This is normal . They think that saying hello to people you know is being polite and that polite people still don’t treat the people they hate badly. It’s not just women. I had a prolonged issue with a male coworker involving that.

one time when I was talking about a video I saw about Moldova, someone commented “I rarely see people know about my country”. Moldova is on Ukraine’s southwestern border (so opposite of the Russian side). It’s mostly impoverished rural backwater, and its city is in decay from the soviet era.

I’ve found that buying shoes online usually goes badly, but buying shoes in person also usually goes badly. At least online you have a chance of something you like and that fits. If it’s in your budget, maybe a custom shoe maker would be the best route. The issue for me there is that it’s difficult to find one who makes a vegan shoe, and I imagine you’d likewise have an issue finding someone who makes stilettos.
