About

Hey everyone.

My name is Amin. I am an 18-year-old student from Seattle, WA, USA that is now living in Manchester, UK. I have an Associate’s in the Arts & Sciences from Bellevue College through the Running Start program, and am currently working towards a BSc in Psychology at the University of Manchester.

In May 2019, I decided to start hosting weekly advice sessions on my Snapchat story. Anyone on my Snapchat was allowed to submit any situation they were in, struggle they were going through, or feelings they were fighting at the time and I promised that I would give my best input. The sessions were entirely anonymous, and started off as a small hobby in which I attempted to kill some time, offer a new perspective to my peers, and hopefully find some fulfillment.

While my “advice” stories certainly attempted to give the participants a new perspective, it was much more about simply giving them someone who will listen to them and support them. In our modern and digital world, it is so easy to feel alone. Many struggle to find individuals who will listen to their issues and refrain from judgement. The goal of Advice with Amin is NOT to provide people with clinical psychological help, but more so to just give everyone someone who will listen to them wholeheartedly and from an unbiased perspective, no matter what it is that they are going through.

Over the course of the last year, the advice stories drastically grew in popularity, and quickly became something I was known for in my local community. As of August 2021, I have given over 1,500 pieces of individualized advice.

I have made the decision to expand Advice with Amin past my Snapchat story and onto a wider audience. On this website, anyone is allowed to anonymously ask for advice in any situation, and I will reply and give my best input for free.

I believe that everyone deserves to have someone listen to them and validate their emotions, because I believe that every emotion we can feel as humans is inherently valid. In a perfect world, Advice with Amin would be a free public service for everyone. With the creation of this website, I am attempting to work towards that.

Truth be told; I am simply a 18-year-old kid. I am fascinated by psychoanalysis and psychology, however, I still have much to learn in both of these fields. My advice is not meant to be the be-all-end-all solution for anyone; but I truly aspire to help give everyone who asked for advice a new and positive perspective on their situation or themselves. Nothing warms my heart more than hearing someone tell me that the advice I gave them months prior helped them get out of a very difficult period of their life.
