Hello everyone, The title might come off as taunting to the society-haters many of us are; this nonetheless became clearer during this period of unemployment and sanitary restrictions. While not having seen most of my acquaintances for more than a year now, my communication skills have been...

Hello peeps, I was wondering if any of you perceived asking people questions – even to long-time acquaintances – as intrusive, prone to a poor interpretation or met by a Why-do-you-care reaction? Such a stance has been instilled into me as a kid. My parents would insist on me replying to...

Hello everyone, It's been exactly one month since FriendlyShadow – a fellow SPW member that's been active fairly often until recently – didn't log in to the forum. Her inactivity just a few days after posting this thread (Im gonna die soon.) worries me greatly, given the scary content of the...

Hello fellow SPWers, I've been away for quite sometime, major changes in my life have taken place during that period ; therefore, the purpose of this post is to attempt to summarize what has been going on during that time. For the lazy ones I've included a tl;dr part at the very bottom of this...

I was listening to the ТНМК playlist while at work on Spotify, then this track comes up in between. https://www.deezer.com/en/track/85083808 I was wondering, is this guy speaking in English a Finn? It's hard to tell because there is no sound B that would be pronounced as P by your average...

I was in the library yesterday revising analog electronics, and I noticed that the window of my room could be seen by many students from the residence. So that's what I've done. Consider this my humble contribution to bring more peeps to these forums.

I would like to get in contact with someone located in the Parisian region, preferably a woman, to hang out with, I see this as a way of maintaining my spoken English as well as an opportunity to walk outside during the weekend. Let's not mistake ourselves I am not looking for a date, this is...

Something has been happening a lot to me in public transportation lately , one person staring at me for no apparent reason, women especially, I'd say one fifth of the time. It's just one person each time, if it was a group of people it would obviously suggest there would be something wrong with...

Everything is coming out of nowhere. Lately my mind has been playing tricks on me, I can't even look people in the eyes anymore when I am in public transportation or walking on the street, out of fear and discomfort, it comes and goes very randomly. Generally when I am in public transportation...

Hello people, I am making this thread as a personal curiosity regarding how other countries are in every aspect one could think of, I am also sure that all of us here will learn a lot from this. Your inputs are more than welcome! Let me start : Algeria : Social/Cultural aspect ...

Hello, Lately, I have met a woman at a language Meetup, which since, I see at least once a week. I've proposed to meet her outside of the Meetup context 3 times, she agreed every time, we then would go outside just for walking and talking about whatever that would cross our minds, but we would...

Hello Peeps, It has been a while since my last post on this forum, I hope everyone is doing well and better. I am flying to Berlin tomorrow afternoon, and quite frankly except some few monuments and dishes that I intend to try out, I have no idea what to do, especially in a country known for...

Hello peeps, I have a friend who I care very much about, I met her in the train not so long ago. She is currently recovering from a separation with her ex-boyfriend, I won't delve into details, but the process is quite slow, and it pains me to know that she is mentally suffering. We are not...

Hello people, Just wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas, not being christian myself (you know how it is in good old Africa, we believe in voodoo stuff and what have you...), I just got back from my family's in Paris, that was a great occasion to gather up, I was so moved at how my cousin's...

I don't know why I am writing this, but I feel like a complete weirdo by thinking in the way I do. I always feel guilty of something when it comes to dealing with women, especially the ones around my age, the idea of thinking about them as partners or lovers makes me feel like I've disrespected...

I've recently been introduced to an application called Meetup, that allows its users to find a certain group of people with common interests (Sports, Cuisine, Languages...etc) and everyone would meet up at a café or a public place. I am tempted to try it out, to improve my spoken English, but...

Hello, From my childhood to lately I used to be someone that enjoyed spending his free time playing video games (excessively), eating out of boredom, and enjoying life as best as I could (while avoiding people). I found pleasure in doing so. In addition to being a very emotional person...

Hello, I've been planning to do so for my studies, this involved a couple of interviews with that country's consulate. I felt anxious at first, but things turned out good. A new country, with a completely different society, a new language (which I know perfectly), no friends (which is nothing...
