Talk for yourself, my dear provincialotto.

For us born near Piazza Duomo in Milan was normal to talk in English at the age of three.

i francesi non vogliono gli inglesismi, hanno coniato un sacco di parole moderne e secondo me les célibataires involontaires trovato un sinonimo di permasquint.

my english sucks
i understand everything that i read and everyone that i listen - if people ( in movies and in real life ) speaks slowly and without strong accent - , but i have many problems to speak (and also in writing, obviusly ).
I ignore many grammar rules or i have forgotten as time went by.

By the way, today my period told me that i have to stay home from work.
I think i spent my time watching tennis on tv.
That's it.

That's pretty good. I was in the exact same situation 2 years ago and making the leap from understanding everything to current level wasn't that hard. It required finding people to practice with, but I'd say it took about 6-7 months.

What the fuck is a permasquint?

Who comes up with all these new terms?Is there some kind of incel equivalent of l'accademia della crusca that need to reach an agreement before everybody start using a new vocab?

I went to the china store near my house and bought some stuff for the house (cleaning stuff mainly). Now I need to start the day and study at least 10 pages. I'm really going slow motion this exam season but at least I'm doing something.
It's weird, the first year and second year I had a lot more exams left but I was way more motivated to reach the goal. Now I have less things left but I feel horrible anxiety wise and I'm dragging thru each day. The goal has never been that close but has never felt so far away, unless you count the years BEFORE I started.
Every 10-15 days I have some kind of existential crisis where I start to wonder if leaving my old field of study or not doing something else, like japanese or graphic design was a mistake, but the thing is, when I was doing something else I had the same kind of crisis EVERY year, multiple times a year, at least 1 a month. So I know that even If I had done something else, from this point of view my mental situation would have stayed the same. No matter what I do, I always have the nagging doubt that it is a mistake.
What a fun brain.

I miss having a cat. I had 2 cats I truly liked as a teenager, jack (like captain jack sparrow) and pantera (I wanted a wild animal but my parents refused for obvious reasons, so I decided to name the cat after my favourite big cat). Jack was like a cross between a cat and a dog. He hated being alone even for just a minute, was very clingy and very social, very playful. Pantera was a smart and affectionate animal. Sadly she died because she was hit by a car when I was 14. Jack was given away when I went to live with my grandparents. I don't think he is still alive.
R.I.P jack and pantera.

Bipolar has phases in which you either sleep too much or too little, but that's the first time my problem is waking up too often and not falling back asleep. Before I just would not fall asleep, or I'd wake after 2 hours-3 with too much energy when I had a manic episode. I hope the hospital will fix this soon or that it will pass on its own soon.

sometimes i don't want to talk to italians, let alone with foreign people

Chat GPT or language AI. or finding somebody to just write with/a forum.
There is a social anxiety forum like this one in english. You don't need to actually speak to anybody irl or even face to face online.
Even just writing something like a diary on your own might help.

Permasquinting is a technique that you use to change your eyes shape.

I suggest you to read “Harry potter and the half retracted chin Prince” to know these terms better.

Same here, unfortunatelly i never put effort in school to study the grammar, but already from a young age i was capable of understanding plenty of it. This is probably because in my country movies was and still aren't dubbed, so i was always watching everything in their original language with the subtitle. Today i'm able to undestand almost 99% of it, for example i watch movies in their original language without subtitle, and in very rare moment i don't understand. Probably if i go somewhere where english is the main language spoken in a few month my fluidith and grammar can be improved really much.

I can see snape becoming a very phobic incel forum memeber.

I hate incoherent, so this means that in a first place i hate myself

Hermione saying “Wristardium Leviosa”

franz90

Please don’t use your electric oven while you’re home.

Don’t waste electricity. Be green.

CamillePreakers

It's wristArdium leviosa not wristardiUUUm leviosa, potter

I'm sure they'd create both spells to improve the canthal tilt and wrist size and spells to give smaller wrists and negative canthal tilts to all their enemies.

God I miss that part of my childhood in which I was looking forward to a new harry potter book. Pretty much the only part of childhood I miss I haven't been able to care as much about a fiction work in the past decade.

In the third book of the series (if I remember well) Hermione use magic to adjust her tooths.

CamillePreakers

I think it was the 4th, when there was the ball with viktor krum.
I want magic to adjust my horrible nose.
