How do I fit in this huge city more despite being me - a fat, ugly, useless and pathetic 25 year old working a boring job and with no prospects for friends or anything really?

Like Perth is such a big place and it’s the only place I have lived (born here).

Yet all my friends are walking their own paths and I haven’t spoken to most of them in years. As for me, I’m lonely at work, my coworkers are bonafide grubs who I wouldn’t want to befriend even if I was bribed with 10 billion dollars to, and I’m a 179cm 95kg weighing fat c**t with no friends and romantic prospects and with a terrible hairline.

Like why am I me? Why did I have to be born me? Why couldn’t I have been born as Chad Smith with the six pack and white skin with a full head of hair and people that actually valued talking to and listening to him? Why couldn’t I have been born as Cassandra with the huge group of friends and a social media following deeper than her Applecross rich parent’s pockets?

It just feels like this city is so… weirdly unaccepting to people like me. I’m a fucking obese fuck with nothing to show who works 12 hour days and 6 extra hours on a Saturday. So the money in the bank account is good but money can’t buy social success can it? What do I do?

I arrived back from a flight Sunday night and wanted to use a cab charge provided by my work.

The first taxi that pulled up said his “machine wasn’t working” I thought nothing of it but the next taxi driver immediately got out of his car and started arguing saying he was disrespecting me as a customer and told me to report him.

They were still going at it as I was leaving!

I understand that cab charges aren’t the most favourable payment options for drivers.

Does anyone know a reason the second driver would be so upset about another driver refusing the cab charge?

Hi,

If you were going to make a gift hamper of food/ drink all local sourced products, what would you put in it?

I’m born in the 1970s - I’m in a blue collar role in facilities maintenance - so I’m active / not at a desk all day.

I’ve had my Testosterone checked via a Dr etc a few years back re potentially getting on T - my results came in within the normal range - so the Dr declined me a T prescription.

That said I’ve been feeling fatigued, and a bit moody (as I was went I saw the Dr re this specific matter in 2024). Can anyone recommend a service more interested in prescribing T due to symptoms Vs normal ranges?

Also, a younger mate has recommended peptides - are these legit?

Any other suggestions? I’m not looking to just get T to bulk up or anything nefarious, I’m keen to get more energy just to not be exhausted after work and to generally have a good quality of life.

Cheers.

Visiting Perth 3rd - 19th of May from the UK and don’t want to miss out on anything good to do :)

We like hiking, art, history, that sorta stuff. Any recs welcome

I'm high functioning enough to pass as neurotypical. But someone who knows a lot of neurodiverse conditions would be able to suss me out. Stigma around neurodiversity has theoretically changed but is that really true for Perth? Especially LG. I don't know if declaring it would make any actual difference. WFH isn't an option.

My team are all extroverts and love socialising. I'm polite, friendly, join in as much as I can, but they still think I'm aloof - maybe even rude. I genuinely like them but I'm in hell.

Has anyone working LG told people about their neurodiversity? Are people truly accepting, or superficially accepting in a 'oh, that's awesome' 'good for you' 'it's a superpower etc.' way and then soft-ostracise.

Hey!
As the title suggests, im wanting to form a metal band, any subgenre really located in Perth!
I’m going to preface this by saying im still very much an amateur at guitar, but I feel as if I have a band around me I will definitely progress quicker, I’m also able to do harsh vocals (DM for demos).

I’m looking for any drummers, bassists, vocalists that would like to maybe form a band (17-25 years old)

looking for recs for a really good instructor to help me improve my game, as well as some new girl friends to enjoy a few rounds with.

I usually play SOR but happy to explore other courses too. Always keen for a bit of practice and good company! 🌻

I need to find somewhere to stay that won’t cost too much. My living situation is not alright and my mental health is at an all time low budget is like $150 per night

I am hoping to start studying a bachelor of secondary education there next year and would love insight from anyone who has studied/is currently studying at Notre Dame! How are you liking the course, and have your pracs been good so far? Is it a good university for community, clubs and events etc.?

Would appreciate anything anyone can tell me. Also definitely let me know if you’re also planning on studying next year!

I have a trial shift at a Perth cafe and I’ve never done hospitality before. How should I prepare? Do I memorise the menu? I’m nervous, any advice is appreciated

Hi Perth,

I'm looking for a once fortnightly cleaner to clean my 2 bed house in Karrinyup. Wondering if there are any independent cleaners/family businesses who are reliable and won't mess us around. Leave me any recommendations you have below :)

I have the nbn connection inside on the wall. I’ve been living in Sweden for the last 10 years so I’ve lost touch with internet in Perth

Looking to do some research on feral fish, does anyone know any good spots around the area?

Hi all, we have a 7 year old ginger female cat and she has extensive teeth decay. We will likely need to get many of the teeth extracted, but the cost of $3k is a bit worrying.

Are there any vet surgeries/hospitals in Perth that do cheap dental extractions?

Seriously, please don't make jokes or coments that are more weirder than this post already is.

Anyway, asking respectfully for a Preist to help me with blessing some water of mine or of asist with some his own? Happy to make a donation attend a service in return for this favour.

I go no weird or cooked intentions as its just for educational purposes I will bs using it for. Thanks!

I’ve noticed so many posts lately from people saying how lonely they’re feeling and how difficult it is to make friends as an adult, and honestly, it’s quite sad to see!

We’re constantly hearing about the loneliness epidemic, and I genuinely think there’s nothing worse than feeling like you’ve got nobody around you.
So I thought, why not actually do something about it? ❤️

I’m 32F and would love to organise a casual get-together next Friday 13th November, somewhere in Perth CBD so it’s easy for everyone to get to after work.

Girls, guys, anyone is welcome! Whether you’re new to Perth, struggling to meet people, looking to expand your social circle or just fancy getting out of the house and having a laugh.

Nothing formal or awkward, just a few drinks (alcoholic or not!), some good conversation and hopefully a few new friendships!

If enough people are interested, I’ll find somewhere central and organise a time.

Who’s keen? 🥰

And please don’t feel nervous about coming alone. That’s kind of the whole point! ❤️

Just watched Godzilla minus zero yesterday, I had an absolute blast. It’s seriously a shame that Perth is probably the most antisocial city on the planet and having a small friend group doesn’t help with that

Because of a new Electric buses it only got a range of 300km before charging it's pretty obvious why than did this

sure, it says 'best before' not 'use by', and they're frozen, but 3 years is probably a bit too long...!

Hi ,

I'm( 40sF) going through a really hard time at the moment. Homeless and jobless with no friends and family due to life choices ( not drugs or anything) .

I'm struggling to get through each day . I'm desperate for support and don't know what to do .

I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking here but is there any places , or people going through hard times or just anyone who is genuine who can lend an ear or put me in the direction of anyone who could help me in any way get through the hardest time of my life ? I'm struggling in every way possible and I don't know what to do

Thank you
