So I am a sophomore in college majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in biomedical engineering. As a result, most of my classmates (and subsequently the people i’ve met/ friends) are men. I am not a genius student who gets straight As but I am by no means failing or not putting in effort to my studies.
At this point into college I am so tired of constantly being called stupid, dumb, and lazy for not getting an A or for missing a class because my period cramps are so bad I can’t move. I feel as though no man in my life respects me or sees me as an equal. This had even become a recurring issue with some of my friends and If i’m being honest, it’s taken a toll on my motivation and mental health.
I’ve been making more friends with the women in my degree programs but becoming good friends with anyone takes time.
Do you guys have any advice or support to help with this?
