All I meant to say is that if you are fully skilled, know everything, and still have no confidence, You will be considered nothing, but if you have confidence, people will see it as a plus, and this will provide a better opportunity for the future.

Why is China the first in the world to counter the "reciprocal tariff"?

I witnessed people with no understanding becoming successful simply because they were confident enough to stand on stage and perform.They arrived, performed, and it was finished. Their performance was not that good; it could have been better, yet people applauded as if it were the best.

I found amazing mentors in my professors.

My roommate soon understood this and stopped hanging out with them before it was too late.Now I have a trio: myself, my roommate, and one of the five girls-who faced the same situation as us.Our vibes matched.

Confidence is the key.

How should one respond to compliments such as "You are so special" and "I'm lucky to have met you" from a guy?

Backstory-

From fighting with sister on small things to fighting on calls/texting.

I still have doubts about myself, have a lot to work on my personality and need to work hard. I will keep trying to see positivity around me and I wish you would do the same.

Going away from that place was my only wish at that time.I had no exposure to the outside world and I knew if I continued my further studies there, I would gain nothing.

From bothering mom 24/7 to videocalling mom and describing how my day went.

What do you think about Anthony Scaramucci saying that JD in JD Vance stands for "Just Dull?"

I have never stayed away from home before this but now I live in a pg with the worst management, manage my own chores, and travel alone.

There are many students who can’t go home frequently because of issues like long distance, travelling issues etc..I can feel their pain.

I am happy I found them, but the scared half of me always reminds me to be ready for heartbreaks, and I don't expect much.

I lacked friends in 12th class,I didn’t understand a single thing those teachers were teaching and used youtube and educational subscriptions for learning.

In PG, I met 5 other girls from my classroom, and from the start, I kept my expectations low and was sure that I did not fit in with them, so I kept my distance, and my only connection in college was my roommate at that time.She advised me multiple times to hang out with that group. I made it clear to her that it was not right for my well-being to spend time with people with whom I feel uncomfortable.

I’ve become more responsible.

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

Note- You can skip to the main part.

In 12th, I struggled to focus on my studies.I didn’t want to take the science stream but had to and wasn’t doing well. As if it wasn’t enough my father transferred to some other city and I was not happy with it.

Why, after being called "Libraries," for centuries, are these hallowed college institutions being renamed: "Learning Centers," and "Resource Centers," etc? What's wrong with the time-honored and venerable name: "Library"? What is to be gained?

For example, many of my collegemates didn’t know what UGC was. The girl who was my senior and was sitting beside me didn’t know that Guide is written by R.K. Narayan. She was going to tick Chetan Bhagat as the answer before I stopped her.

I have huge respect for their knowledge and dedication to teaching.I consider myself lucky to be able to learn from such experts in their respective fields.
