So, what exactly is your issue with the ECDL certification? Are we talking about database management, information systems, or communication skills?

The fact remains that I dropped several hundred dollars on this exact same thing...😛 🙄
And then there is the matter of being forced to sit through actual classes....
Imagine my situation: I'm 35 years old, and I've been shoved right back into a classroom setting like some schoolboy...
At least I manage to keep everyone entertained—my classmates, my fellow students, and even the professor, naturally....😁

Look, if you really want to know... when I finally made my way back to the Forum a few days ago after a two-year hiatus and saw you and all your posts... my first thought was simply, "Who is this person?!"... Wow.
And honestly, coming from my neck of the woods...

Self-confidence is an internal state. You don't just "have" it; you lack it only if you fail to learn how to wield it effectively. Every single one of us possesses it deep down...

Sophia Allen12 said:and I 😍

For God's sake... I am literally about to sit down for this computer literacy exam right now... and you could have actually given me some pointers...
Seriously....

Taylor Howard36 said:Oh, come on, let's try having a little bit of positivity here!!!! 😍 I am only 24 years old...

Just take one look at this beauty right here.....

🙂

Can you even imagine the kind of positive energy this woman radiates....😘

Sophia Allen12 said:everything seems fine on the surface

Financial stability isn't even the issue here... I get that, because if it were actually about money, you wouldn't even be online right now...😉

Look, man, you're twenty-five...
Just have some patience...
That’s all you need. Eventually, you'll look back at how you thought when you were twenty-five and realize how much you've changed—you'll laugh at yourself.
🙂

And trust me, there are plenty of smart, high-quality women living right here in our city... you know....
😉

snail said:hmm... what hits me hardest is how much I actually enjoyed being alone when I was a kid; I preferred my own company back then. Now, at 26, the one thing I absolutely cannot stand is being by myself.
All my friends are in relationships, while I’m just stuck in a cycle of failed attempts.
I'm terrified that my childhood preference for solitude has finally come back to haunt me...
And no, it isn't easy to find someone. It's always the same people in the same places, and the dating apps are just incredibly dull.

So, do you actually have a girlfriend?

If you only knew the sheer amount of problems a woman can solve...

Taylor Howard36 said:there isn't. 😢

Please... just tell me...

I am completely lost.

How old are you?

Places are just what they are, especially in our little "backwater" towns, given the way everyone here thinks...
New faces pop up everywhere, even in the middle of nowhere...
Hey...

So, are you seeing anyone right now?

Just get it off your chest...
Don't go taking offense or feeling sorry for yourself regarding what you just posted here...
No one in this community is trying to be negative toward you...

Sophia Allen12 said:What are your thoughts on this matter? I suspect I am dealing with this exact situation myself. 😲

Could you perhaps elaborate on that? I am curious to know exactly what you were aiming at there... fellow citizen.
🙂
Please don't take my post the wrong way...

That’s just how the game works, and honestly, it adds a certain spark to life...
You know that old saying, "Conflict breeds passion"? Well, that’s the absolute truth right there...😉
Once night falls and you finally crawl into bed, all those grievances simply vanish—even the bitterest ones..😁

So, what now?!
I’m practically baby-talking here... I've got my Mona, I've got my Hendrick...😵
And I'm five times that age... Should I just end it all?😁

I have this supposed flaw, but it only exists in your eyes. The idea is that "the image is whatever the viewer perceives it to be," which says way more about the observer than the subject being observed..😉

I love myself!
😉 😛
Edit:
(I didn't even realize I had already posted in this thread, damn it, this space is getting too cramped...🙄 )

Robert De Niro... I find it absolutely impossible to believe you didn't even bring him up.... Just the other night, I sat down and watched The Hunter.... probably for the hundredth time already...
What an absolute masterpiece of a film....🙄

Oh, you’re just absolutely stunning... ha!😉 !

In the National Guard.......🙄...an absolute fool..why on earth wouldn't he just go around the pond...🙄 😕

I really love this thread.....🙂
I'm just filled with Fear—about writing............

Mark Smith22 said:I know this guy who has that specific way of pronouncing his Rs, and honestly, I find it incredibly cute.
I am being completely serious here; this isn't some joke or something trivial to me. This conversation is being treated with gravity, and frankly, the dismissive attitude is nonsense.

It is actually quite endearing to listen to him speak. 🙂

Listen, everyone... I’ve pronounced this letter incorrectly since the day I was born... so what?
I have a question for you all: Is the way I pronounce my words more important than the actual substance of what I am saying?🙄

And let me be clear: I have zero intention of seeing a speech therapist. I don't view this pronunciation as a flaw or a defect in any capacity.
If anything, it's an advantage. It’s part of my identity. People recognize me because of it.
In business terms, we call this "Goodwill."😉
I take pride in the fact that I am different from the crowd.😉

That is exactly why I chose my handle—"Come on, say Sam Smith3"...😁

Does anyone actually get what I'm saying?🙄

Daniel Lopez said:Just let it go, don't sweat it; honestly, it’s actually pretty cute and sexy.
My ex and I used to have a blast messing around with stuff like that. Whenever she was feeling even slightly annoyed, she’d just start teasing me, calling me "Iggy, Iggy" 🙂 (like, a little nickname)

😁
Ava Ava Adolle...😁 😁 😁

So, I just caught up on the posts above... apparently, a whole lot of women actually find this charming...😉 It’s honestly quite shocking...🙂
And as for your own kind—men—they’ll just mock you for it... right up until the moment they end up begging for your affection themselves...😉

You hit the nail right on the head...😁 😁 .. That’s just...

It’s like they say—it's a dog-eat-dog world—though I've never quite mastered saying that phrase perfectly...

Growing up, everyone, even my closest family members, used to tease me relentlessly about it until I was blue in the face... Honestly, looking back, I'm surprised I didn't develop some sort of massive inferiority complex from all that. Maybe I did, and I'm just too oblivious to realize it... who knows, right?

Eventually, though, I decided to flip the script and turn it into an advantage!😉
There are definitely certain women who find that quality impossible to resist....🙄 😉

I'm perfectly fine with it now...🙂 I'm just built differently....
