Here's some advice: stop trying to improve yourself.

The whole thing of self-improvement is a will-o-the-wisp and a hoax.

How, exactly, does one get a "real" diagnosis for aspergers/autism/whatever?

I've known all my life something is wrong with my head, wrong with me. What specifically, I don't know and have little idea on how to go about knowing. (Hence this post.)

The only two hard facts I have are:

1) I was shaken as an infant

2) Like a handful of you I grew up severely bullied and socially isolated which only fucked me up even worse.

I have many, more "soft examples" of my many social dysfunctions and unproductive proclivities which I'm sure a handful of you habe experienced too but I won't go into them here. Blah-blah HKV, yadah-yadah vidya only friend, le attention-whore suicidal and le edgy homicidal thoughts, you know the same old story.

Though I will say I was put in the special education classes all my school years. I've been "diagnosed" (i.e., "fuck if we know, let's just stamp the dumb child's forehead with SOMETHING so we can toss him in the sped room and fuhgeddaboutit until the next time his mom or dad comes bitching at us for not doing anything, fuck actually helping him and fuck his nagging cunt parents too") with just about everything from retardation, down's syndrome, schizophrenia, sociopathy, autism, asperger's… That last one seems the closest but still not quite (I understand empathy, I don't have a laser-focus on pointless shit, and so on), but I'm not going to trust any "diagnosis" from minimum-wage-paid middle- and high-school counselors. Especially since the idea about asperger's came from my mom watching Oprah of all things. That alone is enough to trip my bullshit meter.

Anyway, post-HS I've tried several generic therapists and counselors to try and get help but they don't really listen. I think they expect me to "just bee myslef xD" and treat my introspective tendencies like it were a disease – some of them were quite frankly insulting, dismissing my 3-5 page "this is how I feel, this is a short history of my painful upbringing, these are what I think are wrong about me," self-introductions since I suck at verbal communication; that one asshole refused to even take it from my hands, calling it "just information" and "I wanna hear from the 'real you'" I so wanted to break his smug jaw right then and there.

And in almost all cases they just give me a one-page questionnaire with less than a dozen dreadfully hazy lines like "I feel like I am not as far as I wish to be in life: Strongly Agree, Agree, etc." and with that and that alone decide I am "chemically imbalanced" and try to put pills in my hands and send me on my way. Fuck. That. Shit.

So these two girls I know were talking in my group, and one of them said, "I have anon's number." and the other said, "I don't have anon's number…" And a few minutes later gave me her phone and told me to put it in. I did, and she hasn't texted me yet. It's been a few hours, am I overthinking this?

Guys, some serious shit is about to go down.

So, it all started a couple of days ago. I hadn't jacked off in days, so I was a bit eager.

I went on craigslist and put up an ad. I put up an ad m4t (male for trans) and said I was looking for a cross dresser. I did this because its actually just a fact to me that its easier to get it on with a guy than it is with a girl, so I might as well go for a guy that looks like and seems like a girl. So, the first day I get a reply. We exchange face pics and when and where, etc. This guy had already "been a girl" for the last 2 years, and I looked through is facebook and he/she's honestly like a strong 4 to a light 5. Its Filipino and I don't know its height, but I think its possibility that that it may be taller than me.

I think "What the fuck. Who cares, just get this over with"

Then the next day I got reply from another CD, and this one actually seems decent (even though I didn't get to see his/her full face, he/she seemed already way better than the last one). So he/she said that we can do it in the back of his/her car.

The flipino said that we can do it in the back of its car.

Anyways. So, today I just jacked off and this chilled wave of "what th' fuck?" crashed over me as I realized that I'm gonna have to bang 2 trannies this upcoming week (don't really have the guts to say no, but as time goes by I think I might be able to). But, as time goes by, I think that I can also bang these trannies.

And I'm scared that if I get in one of their cars they're gonna stab me during or before sex and bang my corpse or something.

Also, the decent one actually seemed more interested than the other one. But that could just be me.

And since I'm pretty much gonna be losing my V-card to one of these CD's, I had to rearrange the meetings, which one I'm gonna bang first.

So. I'm asking for advice.

>Should I bring a weapon

>Should I bring condoms and lube

>Should I even do this?

>I'm actually a virgin, am I gonna regret this?

>Should I fear these trannies?

>If I go on with this, should I project a strong dominant personality in case one of them tries to tie me up or something?

You're input is greatly appreciated.

I just got back from spring break. I have to go back to class tomorrow. I've been doing well and I'm half-way through but I don't want to go. I can't think of any particular part that's hard enough for me to be dreading this much but I'm freaking out here and I don't know why.

I have a SM-B312EH (Samsung) phone and I reset it accidentally :/ Any ideas on how I can recover my messages?

girl cancels date multiple times

hi guys,

so there is this girl i met on party about one and half month back. we danced and had fun, and i think she liked me. so now we text on facebook, she is telling me that she likes me and care about me, but ever since we met, we scheduled much first dates but everytime she canceled.

she is pretty and i like her but this date canceling is sorcery for me, im very emotional and this is bad for me

do you guys think i should wait, that one day, she doesnt cancel ?

is it worth ?

First of all, thank you for listening

So my ex broke up with me ages ago, 5 months to be exact, and during Christmas, I was in a depressive rut and she stopped me from wanting to just an hero (I had a surgery done, felt like nothing was going right any more, health was shot, family was fighting over the medical bill, still lonely, and my school was in bad shape because of the surgery).

I helped her with her rebound boyfriend, who physically and emotionally abused her for 3 months, after our relationship, I was there when she was crying. So in a sense her helping me was getting even.

Anyway, some time in January, she dropped by late to see of a mutual friend of ours. We had been drinking prior to her arrival, and she couldn't stay for long. A force of habit had me kiss her (on the forehead) as she left.

She told me the next day that she missed me. I asked her if she wanted to get back together, do things right this time (because both of us messed up). She said she wanted to, but she also wanted us to both be at our best, with our shit together before trying.

Ever since I've been working on myself physically, and working hard at school to compensate for nearly dropping out of most of my classes.

So everything was fine at first. We were talking like when we were together, and I was (am still) getting in the best state I've ever been in my life, physically, emotionally and mentally.

Then she started drifting. Through a little twitter stalking and from noticing her actions around me, she seemed to be looking at other guys. She became colder, even apparently had an outburst against me texting her according to my friends.

Do I drop her like a sack of bricks? All this time I've been there for her emotionally, and even when I confronted her, asking her if she still wants to try, she can't give me a straight answer. I feel lead on, and I'm tired. I'm making all the right changes and working hard every day. I feel like I deserve better, but my stupid fucking heart won't let it rest.

I need to hear it from people who aren't close on the situation, what should I do?

To wait or not to wait

>Recently decided that I don't really care much about sex, had a few one night stands in my life, never been very satisfied after

>Feeling lonely, really want to find a girl who I actually have a connection with and hopefully be with long-term

>Look around a bit (go for lunch with a few women etc), they're all boring or stupid or arrogant

>couple of months a go I went to university in a different city, meet a girl who lives real close to me but due to the fact that I literally see her every day (she does same subject as me as well) I decide not to shit where I eat so don't make a move on her

>We do keep hanging out however and we actually get on really well, eventually realise that she is the girl I was looking for, get really mad for friendzoning myself but don't know how to handle the situation so don't make a move still

>eventually when we are both very drunk it all comes out, tell her everything, tell her I love her, she gets very upset

>"Anon, I really love you as well but it's still too soon, I can't be with anyone right now, I need time to figure out what I want"

>she says this because she only split up with her ex-boyfriend of 3 years about 2 weeks before she met me so it's still pretty painful for her

>she also says to me that until she is ready she wants to be able to have meaningless sex with randoms and not have to feel guilty about hurting my feelings, she says that I shouldn't just wait for her and do the same but as I said at the start, I don't care at all about sex with randomers any more.

>What do I do /adv/? we still hang out all the time which I really enjoy but it also makes me really depressed. I don't want to give up on her but at the same time I can't just float around being some sort of beta orbiting faggot for an indefinite amount of time. Never loved anyone this much and it's driving me completely fucking crazy.

Alright guys so there's this girl who is really sweet and awesome. I have liked her some time and I think its mutual. We snapchat nonstop and occasionally flirt. We have known each other for some time but it's never been like this. She is the perfect girl in my opinion. But there are some things that hold me back and I want your opinions.

1. She lives 30-40 minutes away.

2. We are in a lot of the same groups and clubs.

3. She's prude. Not a problem I'm just afraid she won't want a relationship.

What do you all think? Are these to be of concern?

I am a Mathematical Physics major. As part of my degree, I have to study an Arts subject, such as philosophy, literature, history, political science, psychology etc. What Arts subject does /adv/ suggest I study? I plan to become a physicist.

I-Is this board only for dating advice?

Anyway, in germany there are "Applied Sciences Universities" And "Traditional Universities", is there such a thing in the US.

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.thehagueuniversity.com/xmsp/xms_itm_p.download_file?p_itm_id=92016

In which type of university would you rather study? Why?

How do i learn about and stop being so impatient with women, or is that correct behavior?

I'm very thankful for taking the time to read this.

I dated my old gf, i was so happy at first, and as expected later the relationship sucked. I've been exposed to true beauty and there's no personality like no personality. Women look so ugly for the bullshit they're expecting me to go through while dating, it's like everyone is an MKultra victim and i'm suppose to work a miracle and save them.

I have dated two women, both were in high school, and i'm 25 now. I've had chances and ignored numbers, but i know once i get to know them enough they remove their sleeps clothing.

I'm trying really hard not to be r9k or just shit on women, because i genuinely like women and not in the faggy nice guy obsessively feminine kind of way. I've hung out with conservative and liberal women who i thought were cool at first then started displaying their periods more honestly.

( i guess this is one questions, why do girls get so comfortable with their periods around me, i think i'm enough of an asshole that i don't come off as a push over, or maybe i not enough of an asshole or too much)

question 1 is (i know this sounds juvenile but) how do you know when a woman is using her period as an excuse to be angry, and even if she was angry is the period making it worse?

When my ex liked me she become so emotional, was this her or the period? it was a terrible relationship that should have ended early, so i guess it was dead on arrival.

question 2 when do you take period talk seriously??

The main reason i posted her and why video is related is because i feel like women aren't worth it. ==I wish women could be straight forward==. But women are so difficult and controlling despite being able to fuck up my shit.

There are so many pleasant depictions of femininity, that i can enjoy that don't require a stressful relationship for "not flat or big" meh tier breasts. Why are women in relationships so difficult, everything in life is stressfully difficult and the family unit is a drain on the father, if he can somehow keep the family from this emotional time bomb.

When i see a beautiful/kind woman who i don't know anything about, if i don't immediately see signs of whoredom, they're probably as demandingly difficult as they look. They're the jews of gender.

question 3 is there somewhere i can visit or a documentary that i've missed that goes "No, not all women are biologically difficult monsters", or "women do like men" or is this just a personality trait of the two relationships i've had, do nice women exist?

I know i sound stupid, and i don't know that many women now. In high school i had an anime style HS experience, i knew so many beautiful slender and well-endowed girls, who were on drugs and were so nice. Was it because they were friends or the drugs or was it just them. ==I feel like theres no trade off with women, they're ugly and they act ugly, i don't consider myself that attractive but they're just delusionally confident.==

The idea of women liking men sounds bizarre to me, despite how irrational it is.The last girl that clearly liked me was this fat lady of a similar race, i got so angry that someone overweight liked me that i felt really terrible and guilty about it, she was probably a nice girl but i hate the idea of give another monster a chance at an awful relationship. I don't want to hate or be so angry at women it's exhausting.

Sorry for all the bitching, i tried to express my disillusion concisely.

When I die fuck it I wanna go to hell

Would one like to share a story about how their life got better.

Purification

Hey /adv how to clean your mind from all the filth thats collected over there in years ? NEET here and the shit is getting steadily worse with time.

California

I'm renting in some shithole house filled with people who have ruined their lives with alcohol and children. Today I realized my landlord violated my last bit of privacy by coming into my room and conducting HVAC tests while I was out with my girlfriend (I live on the top floor by an exterior door). I'm fucking pissed that some piece of shit who's mooched off his mommy for the past 60 years thinks he can just come in and move my shit with his disgusting hands.

I'd burn this place to the ground if it was worth a tenth of the land it sits on.

Spoiler in video.

Give me some advice on another advice image forum that isn't dead?

Video sadly related..

in love with my best friend

>in love with my best friend

>she's taken

what the fuck do I do? I hang out with her pretty regularly. I want to tell her, just to get it off my chest, but I don't think it's a good idea.

It's killing me from the inside out

guys I am fucking worried.

- my girlfriend is acting distant.

- I can't have sex with her. she literally keeps her hand in front of her pussy when I get my hand close.

- she's started going on birth control

- she goes out a lot "with the girls"

- she has tinder on her cellphone, when I made a comment because of it (it was running in the background) she said "she wasn't even using it every day"

- we haven't had sex in like 2 months

- there were 2 empty bottles of wine in her kitchen (she says doesn't drink and she is very petite, she doesn't eat or drink much) 2 bottles of wine is like 10 glasses of wine. it looks like she had a party or something? But it's not even her birthday, or something to celebrate in the last month.

- when I ask her if I can see her, she declines most of the time

I am fucking worried.

when I try to talk to her about it, tell her I am worried, tell her I love her, tell her I miss her.

she says I shouldn't worry so much.

HELP

Why am I so gay?

Should I be honest about major depression or not?

I’ve recently been filling out applications for different jobs at the same company since the middle of January and typically have not received any response.

They have a page in the application where you can say if you have a disability, or not, or just not answer. I have major depression and general anxiety and have been on the verge of suicide a good handful of times. The MD also causes me to have near-chronic fatigue. Medication and therapy has had little to no effect. Now I’m not stupid enough to tell them I’ve almost killed myself or that I’m prone to intense suicidal ideations, but I know from my previous two jobs that It’s intensely difficult for me to be treated and constantly act like a regular healthy person. They say at the bottom of the page they don’t discriminate, but I’m skeptical for obvious reasons.

So I’m wondering if my gut feeling is true – that I’m essentially blackballing myself by being honest about having serious illnesses.

Also, as a rule of thumb, do you recommend lying about being mentally disabled in an application or a job interview?

Tl;Dr:

>'Tards get in here!

OP is questioning how much he can hope to achieve, being a 'tard and all.

Tell him how you cope with your retardation or applicable alternative. Maybe some personal accounts would give him some idea.

OP's post:

Hi, /adv/. I'm a retard.

I got a Aspergers diagnosis 10 years ago. I was quite 'special' at the time, and I was glad it had an explaination.

Couple years after the diagnosis, and a paticularly awkward social situation,I forced myself to learn better social cues. I studied how people interact in the everyday and on television and learned to mold these behaviors into my own. The latter (TV) may have been less than ideal to study as I can have a bad habit of being dramatic and thematic in my line of acting and thinking in social situations.

I've become relativly natural and comforable, though I still struggle with maintaining eye contact. As of now, I'd say I'm just averagely socially awkward. For example: I don't like chit chat, I still avoid it, but I can do it if I must. I've gotten better, but I don't think I pass for normal.

I think that at 60% of my capacity, I can't keep in touch with people.

At 90% I can maintain a few relationships.

But my 90% effort, is a 60% effort for a functional person.

It depresses me, the fact that: applying almost all my efforts, I'm still not impressive. My best is average.

No matter how hard I try, people won't notice my efforts.

>Shepard: We don't give medals to soldiers for doing their jobs.

But then I got to thinking some more:

I'm in my mid 20's, I'm on welfare. My parents made great effort (bless their souls) to get me a intern job which may lead to a steady job down the line. I've been very fortunate. The employer doesn't have to pay me, as the welfare covers it, though this won't be the case forever.

The job is simple. It requires no degree. Any schmuck who passed high-school could do it, and more efficiently I'm sure. Still, I'm told I do the job well, by my boss and my dad, who works there as well.

Now it's the opposite that depresses me. I'm depressed because I'm recieving praise for something I feel is average. I'm upset because I feel patronised and unchalenged.

So, all I really know is that I'm my own worst critic. I'm just not sure yet if I want others to be critical or not. And so I'm at a crossroads:

Road one leads to the dream. The dream of being self sustaining. Managing without welfare. Not being a burden on my parents and the state. Having a non-tailored job, even it isn't prestigious. Keeping a orderly habitat. Having a forfiling hobby that I can share with people. Maybe a competent woman in my life, maybe not. In this case I would'nt want my peers to give me a break until my efforts are on parr with a functional adult.

Road two leads to coming to terms with the fact that I'm a 'tard, and not chasing the sun. I've met adults retards, I've seen what their lives are. In my eyes, they're not living, as much as they are 'existing'. They live on welfare, spend all day at home governed either by their parents or people hired to keep them on top of their washing and other domicile dutiues. I should accept that I will never be able to function as an adult and should start getting comfortable with this impending lifestyle.

In this case I would accept my limitations as they are, and understand that my peers were right to have drawn their conclusions already.

The last few months, I've been heading slowly down road one. I expect and accept that it'll take many years to reap the reward of that road. I'll spend the rest of my 20s working on it certainly. Today, I thought long and hard about road one. I don't know if I can manage and maintain all that, ever. I think I had an epiphany. Or maybe heading down the first road was the epiphany.

I'm asking myself, when am I seeing clearly?

When I head down road one, or road two?

What's the mature thing to do? What's the realistic thing to do?

Are those the same thing?

I don't expect you to answer these questions. Rather, I've started this thread to see how others have dealt with their lives. I want to hear about some of your experiences and how you've worked to improve your lives. Maybe it would help.

So, How do you cope with your autism, /adv/?

Or if you're not autistic, how do you cope with your general faggotry?

Ask me questions if you like.

A bit to honest?

So i met a girl a couple of months ago, we just clicked. She was funny, cute and appereantly liked me. Altough I was to shy do do anything about it.

Last months we went on a citytrip together, and ended up making out on the third day. Every thing we do together just feels right, and i really feel like i want this to last a long time.

Now, last saturday we where telling eachother secrets and general truths about ourselves. Ended up talking about her fucked up youth, and my situation, which isn't that good. I was totally on board with everything she said and i could understand most of the things she went through.

At the end of the night, she told me quite casually that she used to have sex for money right up untill we went on the citytrip. At first i brushed it off, but it really went through me like a knife. I lay awake all night, thinking about it. I could not imagine her doing things… I mean, it's even hard for me to write it. But in the morning i concluded that she did those things in the past, and we all did some stupid things in out past.

I sat down with her and told her that i didn't like her ding it, but i'm ok with it as long as it is in the past. Which is true, I do feel that way. We both got very emotional and she told me that she at first didn't want to tell me. She was afraid of losing me, but she wanted to be honest. When she said goodbye and went home for the week, i kept on thinking about it, and i can't seem to get it out of my head. As I am a bit of a geek, i looked her up on a website today and saw that she was last online 5 hours ago.

I don't know what to feel anymore. At the one hand, she told me that she will always tell me the truth, on the other she lives quite far away and we only get to see eachother once every 2 weeks give or take.

What is your take on this?

And how can i make peace with this, because i'm still very upset.

Thoughts?

Bed wetting

I've been having really bad nightmares about something recently ,and every time I wake up from said nightmares I've wet the bed. I only do it for these specific nightmares and not anything else I swear. Talking to someone is not an option too damn embarrassing. I am about 18.

Alright /adv/, I just bought my girlfriend these hoop earrings for her birthday, and she loves her jewelry. Do you think I made a good choice and do you think she'll like them? (I know that's a bit far fetched but work with me). Femanons, I would love to hear your inputs

Job issues

I got hired for a part time coding job (basically a, "Write a program that does a thing, and when you're done, then you're done" job), and even though the pay was shit (I could have worked on the factory floor for more money), it was by far the best job I ever fucking had. I would have liked to keep working there at that rate, but of course there was an issue.

I hid knowledge of my advanced degree (a PhD in math) in order to get in there.

Long story short, they found out and I have to find a new job now, but I find myself in the same position I did before. Before this, I hid my degree so I could find this job after a nearly year-long unsuccessful job search, so how the hell can I expect to find one now? It feels as if I might as well put 'ex-felon' instead of this fucking degree on my CV.

Hi guys.

Just went to get some bread at the bakery.

There was a cute girl 6-7/10, looked a little shy.

Not a hot bitch definitely. Just the type that I like.

In about a few hours I will pass by that bakery again.

I thought of just going in and ask her out.

Here what I would say:

> Hi, I haven't seen you here before. What is your name?

> ….. ( Sarah perhaps )

> Do you work here as a job student?

> … ( hopefully she elaborates a bit )

> Well I think you're pretty and I'd like to get to know you better.

> Well, what if you give me your phone number, we'll do something.

> ( At this moment I'm dying on the inside )

> Sure…

> My name is Anon…

About me.

21 year old kissless, handholdless virgin.

Anxious around girls, plus little bit of autism and ass burgers ( probably. insert little back story:

> come home one night from school. 17 at time

> mom: i've got a test here on the computer

> you should fill it out

> uhmm… sure

> i get a decent score 40 / 50

> it's an ass burgers test

> mom: well that what i expected

> me thinking: well now i've got an excuse…

> end back story

)

Looks:

Decent looking guy 7/10, square face, broad shoulders. 6 foot 2. I've got a little more confidence now also from going to the gym.

Could you give me any tips. You guys are the ones I relate to most on the internet, although you most surely think of me as a normie.

I thought the main point would be to look into her eyes and not around like a complete beta.

I also hope there are no other people inside when I'm there.

How do I make sure my voice sounds confident?

How to not give a fuck about maybe someone else there?

Can you give me other suggestions?

In high school, I topped philosophy and history, but nothing else. I do not think I should study these majors at a university level, because they are poor majors. What should I study instead? I excel in "extended written expression involving complex analysis and synthesis of ideas" according to my exam results.

I want to be part of the coming 21st Century tech elite.

What do I need to get into in order to stand a chance of becoming a member of the neo-excelsiites living in vast pleasure domes served by robots?

How do I get a good position in the coming automation wave when everybody who can't program robots and AI is put on basic income welfare to pacify them?

Is computer science the right subject, or do I need something more specific? Is doing some kind of robotics degree worth it, or should I be more general and just do computer science? I don't know much, but I'm just realizing this is happening, and I have a high IQ so I should be okay.

I catfished/investigated several venezuelan crime rings,specially bank robber gangs and prison gangs,just because investigating criminals,catfishing, scamming and breaking international laws are my hobbies.

Now, i desire to spread the info, i considered contacting venezuela journalist?

How do i go about doing this?

Will my info get censored? is independent journalism high quality there?

Thoughts on getting a CPA? I'm an Econ student at a top 20 university with not-so-stellar grades (3.2GPA). I like accounting and finance and I'd like a longer term career goal to be a Financial Planner and Analyst. Is a CPA a good way to start? Am I too late/early to start it?

Why does this pop up everytime i hit page 3

School Shit.

Hey assholes, I have a question for you. So I'm at school,right? And i have shit grades and I've been putting off homework for about a week even though it almost the end of the semester. any ideas about getting my shit back together?

Shit I fucking hate being stuck in the family unit with people who fucking suck, I am neither joking nor feeling "of the moment". Why can't this gay dedication shit be abolished?

Dubs decide what I get from subway

Yeah, i'd figure i'd post something here. It's probably going to be more pointless rambling and less asking for advice than i'd like, so i apologize in advance.

In short, my life is not bad but it kind of sucks right now. I suck at studying, or rather, i suck at actually starting to do it. I can't get myself to open a book for the life of me, i get really anxious whenever i try to see where i have to begin or start doing anything so i just procrastinate and do things on the internet, or whatever.

My mood is a constant grey fog, but i can't say i have been genuinely happy in a few years now. I kind of don't care anymore about what i'm studying right now, i guess i haven't come to terms with it yet, but i can't really get out of it now, after three years in uni not doing basically anything. And i don't want to fail. The prospect of having to become the average "work in whatever you get and hope you don't get sick, leave your dreams behind and just do whatever" for the next 50 years doesn't really appeal to me. Plus, i really have low self esteem and have a constant idea of people looking down on me or treating me as a child. I kind of see myself as a child constantly too and i hate that. I'm a balding piece of shit that never got to do anything and i suck at life. Fucking great.

I've been seeing a psychologist for almost 5-6 months now and it has helped for a lot of things but i still can't honestly study for the life of me. I don't know if this is what is usually deemed as ADD or ADHD or whatever, but it kind of feels like it and it's tearing my life apart. Really tempted to get into doing adderall and prescription stimulants bought over the internet to try and fight that. It's kind of my last hope that i can use drugs or something to turn around that shitty personality or whatever of mine into a study machine, finish this fucking college maybe having some fun and talking to people instead of being an isolated unproductive piece of shit, but i am still unsure.

I really have no willpower left. These past 3 years have been a daze with very few little memories retained, the only thing remaining being noticeable aging, lost exams and money, and the regret of not doing anything i wanted in either work or leisure for too much time.

What the fuck am i even supposed to do. Kind of envy americans, they get prescribed whatever and just turn into zombies but at least they somewhat function, and i partially gave up self-care a long time ago. Kind of explains why i don't give a shit about health anymore, haha.

I guess i'd ask if any of you have any similar experiences, and all that. It'd be welcome.

Also i know drugs aren't supposed to be the answer or anything but at this point it's either i start forcefully functioning and get out of my personal rock bottom while still trying to sort out my relatively shallow depression or i just try to sort it out with a malfunctioning brain, fail, and pretty much either become a bum because i really wouldn't give a shit anymore and/or kill myself after that.

Fuck, why the fuck did my parents ever think having a kid was ever a good idea. Didn't even ask me if i wanted to, fucking sonsabitches

So I've been fucking up in community college for awhile now. 1.21 cumulative GPA, with 5 F's and a D. Basically, I wanna know if I get my shit together, is there a point in continuing? I can repeat the classes I fucked up in (they're free thanks to FAFSA anyway)..

But is my transcript so abysmal now that there may not be a point? I know if I wanted I could straight A's until my transfer degree is complete.

Hi /adv/. Girl I have a huge crush on held my hand yesterday but now when I mentioned it to her she asked me "Is it really that big of a deal?" I feel like shit now thinking it didn't mean anything to her, she doesn't know I have a crush on her. She started holding my hand not the other way around.

Wat do?

Pic related show we were at.

Irish life nowadays is so shit for me

im 14 and i met somebody who smokes. Me and him starting smoking together since yesterday. I feel like i've let my mom down because my dad smokes and he got cancer, i feel like an ignorant dumb fuck, I saw a physiologist and she treats me like an animal with no dignity, tests are run on me as if i was retarded, i got a report and they basically called me mentally slow. I was bullied in primary (elementary) i was excluded and called names pushed around now i'm just ignored looked upon as dirt.Teachers make fun about me and joke about me as an anxious wreck, my mom is considering moving me to a huge school (called St Flannans) they have 300+ students in one year (grade) look at the picture it scares me, im 14 keep in mind its strikes genuine fear into my heart.

Greetings /adv/!

after you're done advising each other, why not come over and check out a promising new board >>>/brownpill/ and have some fun!

First-time author

I recently wrote my first history book(im a PHD),now i want to have it published,but i dont know where to start.

I sent some emails and await replies,but thats it.

What should I do? Pay a guy to in turn help me achieve a contract? Attempt to sell my work as e-book?

Hi /adv/. I need some help.

I can't continue working where I'm currently employed because the boss is out to fire me. He thinks I'm slow. Mentally. Also he doesn't like me and if a coworker hadn't threatened to quit if he fired me, I wouldn't have had a job after the first week.

Here's what I like to do:

* Sleep

* Eat

* Play finished games

* Read manga in English

* Browse the internet

* Get money for no reason

* Shopping, but spending real money sets off my anxiety too bad so I don't do this one

* Staying in my house and never leaving it

Since I couldn't find a job getting paid to not go outside, I thought I'd ask you guys. What should I be doing for money?

I'm sure nobody really uses /adv/.

First time poster here, and I wouldn't really come here unless I didn't need to, but I suppose I could use the help, if anyone's willing to give it.

In 2013, I met the girl. Let's just call her Anon. But Anon basically came into my life out of no where. Our love for the same type of music brought us together, and we just kind of clicked. I had a pretty shitty upbringing, and lost my mum to a car accident in 2007. So I was always kind of miserable in it's own way. But for once in my life, I was happy. Someone made me feel like I had a reason for something. We kinda had a thing, which was on and off for a few months, then someone else came along and just took me off her. So basically anon and I stopped talking in late 2013, and I guess that was it. We weren't a part of each others lives. I got into another relationship in March this year, and Anon just walked into my life in maybe August this year. (She just got out of a relationship). Then we started to get close again, but not close close, if you understand what I'm saying.

So basically, I'm still hopelessly in love with her, like I was years ago. I can't bring myself to tell her, because I'm still in a relationship. I guess in a way I feel guilty, and I can't come to terms with what's happening, it's all so sudden and I feel like I'm fucking choking.

What should I do? Pic related

posted this on half chan a while ago thought I might as well post it here too

So this is my first time posting on /adv/ and I'm looking for some relationship advice. I've been lonely for pretty much my whole life. I'm 18 and in my senior year of highschool and have never had a real relationship. I only ever asked 3 girls out in my life. 2 of them said no only to get in a relationship literally a week later and the other one said yes. It lasted 2 days before she became a psycho cunt. That was about 2 years ago and it kind of turned me away from the whole idea of a relationship but now, I'm depressed as shit over not having a girlfriend and it's really starting to grate on me. There's this weeb girl i met a year ago when she started going to my school and we became friends. She's super cool, we like a lot of the same things and I genuinely enjoy hanging out with her. She moved away at the beginning of this school year though but it's only about half an hour away and she asked me if I wanted to come hang out soon a few days ago. I'm thinking of asking her out but I'm not sure if she'd ever be interested in a relationship with me. I also started thinking that maybe they're out of my league when it comes to looks. I could just be self conscious but they're actually cute and I'm really nothing special in the looks department. She was also asked out a couple of times when she went to my school and she always said no and even talked to me about it and how she wasn't looking for a relationship at the time. Things could have changed since then though. I havent talked to her about that since then. Another fear of mine is that just asking might make our friendship awkward. So, should I go for it?

tl;dr

>18 and average

>never had a real relationship

>really want relationship

>think about asking cute weeb girl

>scared of asking

>scared of being rejected and it ruining friendship

>dont know what do

Easiest major that can lead to well-paid job?

/adv/, Im really stuck right now. How do I break up with a girl? Keeps gaining weight with no motivation to lose weight, currently 80lbs overweight. Fights me whenever she doesnt get her way with plans, events, food, etc. And shows no interest in trying to get into or even learn anything about my hobbies.

We've been together 5 years now and that is only cause I've not been able to bring myself to end it. I've tried a few times but she always ropes me back in because I keep saying she can have another chance.

How do I stop letting her take advantage of me?

I don't speak english very well so i think there will be many mistakes in this post.

I'm 20, male, neet and virgin, i'm a highschool dropout and i think is too late to go back and finish it. I've been considering suicide for the last few years since i think i can't fix my situation but i decided to try one more time, i lost 44kg (20 pounds) and i'm going to the dentist to fix my teeth and i'll make an appointment with a therapist this week.

What else should i do? Should i go back and finish hs or i am too old for that?

Also do you guys have any advice on how do i get a gf and some friends? I really need someone with me, i feel very lonely. I lost all my social skills after spending so much time alone.

I'm considering going to the gym since i have loose skin after losing weight.

I would appreciate any advice you may have.

Sorry about my bad english hope you can understand.

im 18 3rd year at highschool

im thinking of going back to my hometown to continue school cause its getting hard here

also im somewhat heartbroken cause this year another girl transferred to our school and she is from another town just like me but im here since year one

at first she liked me then im not sure why she doesnt communicate with me anymore

we both stay at the same campus and are the only ones from another town that go to our school

convince me to stay here or get out after Christmas

Kind of a long story but bear with me.

A year ago, I was a 24 year old, kissless virgin. no girlfriend ever. I decided its time to change that so I swore that that by my next birthday I'll change that and atleast start a relationship. So I started working out, working on my looks, started hitting dating sites, asked friend to set me up and went out of try and pick up women (not an easy thing for a guy with a history of social anxiety) I did everything I could think of.

Last week I celebrated my 25th birthday, but little has changed. and I am unsure what went wrong. is it me just having unrealistic standards? is it me being a coward? or maybe its simply a lack of chemistry? maybe because I am so quiet and introverted and do more listening than talking?

First woman I dated was older than me, 33. I was upfront about my lack of experience just to make it clear I dont know what the fuck I am doing. she took it fairly well and took lead a little, however she was kind of stressful as she often mentioned our age difference (does it really matter?) and she asked me out on a second date less than an hour after the first on ended.

Problem is that on my end I didnt really feel any attraction, physical or emotional. I figured it comes with time so I ended up dating her for a bit under two months but nothing changed, we ended up breaking up and I just feel like I wasted my time and hers. On future dates I didnt repeat the same mistake and if there wasn't any attraction by the second date I called it quits. I cant say it wasn't fun but it felt like I was hanging out with friends from work/uni rather than dating. no attraction what so ever.

Last woman I went out with was different. I had fun with her and I think she had fun aswell, it was a very good first date but I didnt want to rush anything so it ended up with nothing. a week later we set up a second date and she tells me she got a promotion offer from her job but it requires her to relocate to a different country (dont know if true or an extravagant lie, not sure I want to know so I'll assume its true) I wanted to end the date with something atleast but I was afraid of getting attached to a doomed relationship so I ended up veering towards a kiss on the cheek, my "greatest" accomplishment so far. after many failures I got a ray of hope and it ended up a disappointment.

Now, for my questions.

1. How do you deal with the constant effort, the searching, the trying, the disappointing failure.

2. Am I doing something wrong? is there something wrong with me that none of the relationships with all these women didnt work?

3. One of the women I dated said I cant read a sign, an accusation my friends told me once before. How do I learn to read the damn signs?

Should I drop out of college since I can't make friends?

What's the point of this experience if I have no one to share it with? Been here over a year now and haven't found a group of close friends like everyone else has. I've always been a very social person and being alone all the time is not fun. Almost not worth continuing.

I'm even thinking my lack of social ability will prevent me from being able to network and get a job.

So, what's everyone's take on this?

>literal autist

>keep getting fired for not fitting in

>constant misunderstandings

>people always think I'm angry with them/being sarcastic/being an asshole

>can't understand most social situations except intellectually, long after the moment has passed

>getting my degree soon: bachelor's in information systems

>need a job

>not a single letter of reference

>no one willing to say I did a good job

I'm sure my resume will get tossed for every job when they do the reference check. I have one friend who will lie for me. Otherwise I'm out of luck

My resume looks decent otherwise.

No one will hire me flipping burgers/mopping floors, because I'm over-qualified if I tell the truth and have huge suspicious gaps on my resume if I under-state.

I have real skill as a wintel sys admin or general tech support. No other marketable skills.

How can I get a job?

Where do you get cigarettes from when you have no friends or connections and you're 17?

I used to have a friend who got them from her older brother but she got a boyfriend and doesn't talk to me anymore.

Finding my Future

Hey guys, as the subject implies, I don't know what I want to do with my life. I know you anons see this type of thread all the time, but I'd really appreciate it if you could discuss this with me.

I like the idea of continuing my college education to the point of PhD. Despite this, I am only in community college, and do not even have a major decided yet. I enjoy math, and think computer science would be cool too. Linguistics also really interest me. I'd like to get into engineering course, but those are only available at Uni's, and they make you start from scratch essentially if you transfer with an associates from a junior college (you have to follow a four year engineering program that isn't available elsewhere, meaning I would've practically wasted my time at community college if I go that route). I think engineering would be where I excel, though, so maybe it would be worth it. When I was younger I always said I was going to major in astrophysics, I still think that would be awesome, but the money isn't there and researching all day everyday seems kinda dull.

I work as a carpenter to get through school, building houses is fun and I've developed an appreciation for architecture. I just want a cozy life, I guess. I would like to move to a Nordic country like Iceland after/during my university time. I like the simple style of life, where one farms their own meat and produce. I'd love to have an acre or more of my own land to work with. I like to garden, and I'm into mycology as well.

Ideally, I'd have a job/mode of income that would allow me to work from home/ on the move. I just don't know how to get there.

Thanks for the time, anons.

I wanna start an fwb I'm a virgin and it seems like the most accessible way to get laid. However idk how to start one. Any advice?

Guys I need help

I need to go to my schools math lab and get tutoring or else I'm gonna fail calculus or get a really bad grade and hurt my GPA significantly I already withdrew once, this is my second time taking it but I don't have enough cash to pay for it a third time and do the rest of my classes

My problem is I'm your typical /r9k/ autist, I'm really scared of doing a one on one tutoring session

please advise, I don't know how to talk to people

Caring jobs and automation

The trends seem to have it that most jobs that will not be replaceable soon will be jobs that have to do with social interractions or caring for others.

What do you do if you have difficulty caring about most people you might talk to?

Somewhat related to the topic would be how one goes to get themselves a bit of a social circle or network to help in obtaining work.

'Network' & all. Yeah, how?

>Unlike a lot of NEETs that are happy with this, this makes me suicidal if it gets bad enough

>Got the advice to try to start my own business

>Wasn't sure where to begin or what would work

>Want something in the tech field, preferably a niche that has the potential to emerge or isn't being met, to make good on my affinity for computers and my disdain for being in crowds or around other people

>At this rate, just something to provide a roof over my head, insurance, and a reason to not cap myself would be sufficient

Where the fuck do I go with my life? Is there even a place for people like me in society?

Hey /adv/. I'm in a shitty situation right now.

I have a fairly good life, I have some nice things, a couple close friends, and I'm doing fine in school. I currently take the lowest dose of prozac, (which i think is 5mg) but I don't want to take it anymore. I feel as though the temporary happiness that I get from prozac is just fake, and all it's doing is clouding my real thoughts.

Basically my whole life is school, rowing crew, playing video games, and watching anime. Nothing is really that special anymore, everything just gives me this temporary high of happiness, but it eventually just wears off, just like my prozac.

I'm pretty sick of my life, but it's not like I'm going to kill myself. I just wish I could get out of where I live and go somewhere new and fresh.

Can you guys give me any help? Am I just being a whiner?

Moving Out

I know this sounds dumb but honestly I lived a very secluded life during my adolescent years and now I don't know how to live like an adult. My parents want me to move out, I want to move out, problem is I have no clue how. I don't know how to talk on the phone with landlords, I don't know what I should be doing, etc. Even worse is I'm planning on moving to a different state (next state over, not too far), and I don't even know how I should integrate into another state. I try googling this shit and it all goes over my head. Time is running out, I want to move before the snow falls here and I'm really cutting it close now since it's autumn already. My parents won't help me with this and they bitch at me every weekend that I tell them "no, haven't called any apartments yet…". I have a job and I have money saved up.

Essentially, I need advice on how to move out and be independent. I need a guide on everything there is to living on your own. Please help.

Has anyone had experience with a sub that likes being choked and called names? She's also my first land whale so any experience in any of those fields would be great to hear about.

Seriously, I have no idea what to expect with a fat ugly bitch that likes to be called a fat ugly bitch. There has to be better advice than just dive in and tell her what to do. I mean that's still the plan but I need all the stories I can get.

Who's got those moped stories? HUH?! Who? Tell me what should I have her do? How do I choke her just right? MOST IMPORTANTLY, what are the signs of an unstable violent chick? Any horror stories from the survivors of killer whales?

coming over from >>>/advice/283

I'll try to make it short:

>out of uni 2 years or so

>was great at uni, got a job fast, talent recognized. etc

>switch jobs for a 15k+ raise and better working conditions and benefits

>work there for a few months

>friend looking for new job

>been a year since he's been in the field, does side projects, seems to know what he's talking about most of the time

>I have to make the test. boss emails it to him

>he has one week

>this weekend hang out with him, he's frustrated by the test, can barely get started and says he feels stupid

>spend an hour talking to another friend about my reservations, worries, and talking about other friends shortcomings trying to figure out if he's qualified or if I've just shot myself in the foot as far as referrel's go.

so. advice. How do I help my friend without cronyism? How do I tell me friend, without hurting his already shit pride/self confidence that he might not be good enough for the job. What do I do when he's bummed out and I have to deal with the fact that it was my test, which I thought was simple, that stumped him out and crushed his dreams?

and update from the original OP since it's been a bit.

>gave him company test

>failed to meet some requirements, but met others

>team supposed to send back feedback to him this upcoming week

>go over it with him this weekend alittle bit on the stuff he couldn't get

>has trouble with little stuff and reading documentation

In addition to the requests above, how do I handle his possible rejection by the company / how do I tell him he sucks without hurting his feeling

Having a real hard time the last few months. Ended up failing out of the program I was doing for college, physical therapy. Just wasnt for me I guess. And ive always been a heavy lifter it was my activity/hobby i really enjoyed, then I found out I tore my rotator cuff and just had surgery on it a few weeks ago. I'm doing better but still no lifting, was pretty sure id be almost good as new by january when school started again. Was gonna move to another state and start over at a new school to meet people and stuff. I'm only 21. And I just found out that my meniscus in my knee is torn now too, I have bad knee pain and itll have to be surgically worked on aswell. Like fuck man can i not catch a break? I am gonna be old as fuck and miss all my life because of all these surgeries, my body is gonna break down on me. All I wana do is meet friends at a new school, maybe a girlfriend or to have sex again would be great. It is almost hard to keep faith in god once he keeps stomping you into the dirt. And ugh the bills im already paying, especially with a 50,000 dollar knee surgery too. I dont know what to do anymore. I cant go to the gym, losing all my muscles and I wont be able to walk without crutches for 4-5 months, and itll take another 4 months for the pain to go away

Raptorfeet

How do I cope with having raptorfeet?

What I mean is permanent tiptoeing. My feet can not put the heels down. Only shoes mitigate this.

I always wanted to dance and try out a martial art, but I'm self conscious about my feet.

My balance is off thanks to a messup with my tendons. This worries me.

If I get surgery for it, I will not only be confined to a chair for 4 months, it's also the grueling physical training and the thought of not walking again for that amount of time. It's a horrifying thought to me, but if it's the one and only option, I'll opt for it if I'm done with my business for that amount of time.

What should I do? Cope with my tendon problem or find a way to get the surgery? throughout my life, this problem's been driven into me.

It just feels like my life isn't going how I want it go. Like everything I do, I put my 100% into and it still isn't good enough. I put 100% into relationships and they never work, I put 100% into work and it's never good enough; someone always does better. I always put 100% into university work and it's never good enough. I put 100% into myself and it's still not good enough.

And yet people like my sister, where all they do is moan about everything, get everything they want served to them because they "deserve it."

It's become way too much for me. How else can I actually turn my life around? I just want to be selfish for once and get what I want but everytime I try it's completely denied.

I just don't know what to do anymore, I've hit complete rock bottom and I'm only 23.

Dog who got a bone

I got a gf but i am completely lost on what to do i dont understand much about dating other than sex every now and again; which in reality is not even a heavy part of the dating process. The last time i had a gf was freshman year but im kind of shy showing affection in public and i feel numb now i dont understand wat do now help me to find my feelings again

What exactly is flirting?

How do you flirt?

Can you also provide examples of a "flirt"?

Some guy responded in a thread on a different board that you should always act flirty with girls no matter what.

The problem is I don't even really know what flirting is.

They didn't teach this shit in sex ed so I have no idea.

If anybody wonders, no I am not autistic.

Early 20s ED

For a while now I haven't been able to reach climax while having sex with women IRL.

Until about a few ago, I watched porn constantly and jerked off around once or twice a day, and in a very specific position.

This lead to my inability to focus on the sex itself when I'm with a woman, and I often found myself losing my erection in the middle of it.

I am in my early 20s so I am confident that it is my past porn and masturbation habits that lead to this situation.

I posted on /adv/ on 4chan about something like this around a year and a half ago, and received some good advice, but I seem to have lost it now.

What can I do to start enjoying sex again? How can I focus on the sex itself instead of having my mind wander?

Note that I have already stopped watching porn and have gone down to masturbating once every couple of weeks, and in a normal position instead of the usual one where I had to cross my ankles and flex my leg muscles.

Please help, you're my only hope.

Breaking the cycle

This is a bit of a stretch since this is an IB but I have to try

Has anyone here been a NEET? how did you get out of it?

I been a neet on and off during most of my 20s, I'm almost 30 now and I can't be wasting more time, I need to get my shit together but no matter what I do I always relapse

Any advice guys?

One-sided relationships, the guilt

I've been seeing a girl for a couple months who absolutely adores me. Unfortunately I wasn't physically attracted to her and felt it was best to end things rather than forcing it. She's such a kind, caring person and I feel awful for breaking her heart. She would have loved me unconditionally but deep down I know I probably would have cheated at the first opportunity.

Anyone else go through this?

So I just turned 29. I make ok money and look decent. I think I'm generally to be around. But my age has got me kinda bummed. I haven't dated anyone seriously in about two years after a bad breakup. I'm over it, and have dated since just haven't found the right girl. I feel like I'm running out of time. I want a girl around 23-24 without a kid an her shit together.

Is this a good idea? Or should I settle for older

Women?

I go by fag and opposition goes by Femanon.

We have an argument about Rape and whatnot.

>Fag, let me ask you this. There are "alpha" males in groups yes?

>No, Femanon. There's no such thing as alpha or beta male.

>Oh? Please do tell.

>There's no such thing, believe me. It's all based upon pool social interaction models beca-…

>Just occurred to me that I'm arguing with Simply despite knowing his history. And I know him better than most is the sad part. The only way to drive him nuts is to ignore him.

*fag gets ignored by everyone*

*fag waits for 3 minutes, gets up and leaves*

*fag over hears femanon says to everyone "thanks for playing along with, fag is a real piece of work"*

What should I do, guys? I am not pissed, I just want to cut ties. I am over her, I just don't want anything that has to do with her. I will do anything to cut ties, I won't care if she approves or disapproves. Am I quickly judging?

I'm receiving constant harrasment from this obviously spoofed number http://www.whitepages.com/phone/1-706-381-6030 because I wouldn't go along with his fishing scam. He claimed to be from "tech support" and claimed I had a virus. I asked him what my OS was, what my IP and mac address were and how he got past my firewalls. He got really angry and started screaming at me at this point. Now he's calling none stop and hanging up if it's me who picks up and getting really belligerent with my family when they pick up.

Who do you contact about harassment from someone oversees who's using a spoofed number? His Hindi accent is thick as pea soup.

Hey /adv/, I need some help figuring out what my feelings are for someone and what to do with them. I've been interested in a girl called Alex on and off for about two years now, but every time it seems whenever we talk it just dies within a few minutes with us having nothing to talk about. We don't share many interests but I she's nice, finds me funny for god knows what reason, smart, etc. But thing is, after a year I told her, and it turned out she felt the same way previously and wasn't sure when I finally grew a pair and told her, as I mistook social angst for not wanting to talk to me. I've brought up my feelings again and she's confused at the moment cause a fuck tonne of other guys are interested in her as well. Thing is I literally enjoy looking at her more than anything, not because she's sexually attractive, but there's just something about her that completely head fucks me. Do I only like her because she's pretty? Is the reason I still have these feelings because I missed the chance I had? Is it possible for this to go anywhere?I don't know what the fuck it is /adv/.

What do?

Dear /adv/

how do I get smarter?

35 and stuck in a shitty situation...is this a good plan?

It's hard to sit down and write this without getting into the long winded story about how I got here. I think it's better I try to make this as simple as possible.

I'm 35. Once upon a time I was 2 classes from a physics degree but shit happened. That was 7 years ago. I want nothing more than to get that fucking degree. I was also 1 year from a computer science degree and would very much like to complete that.

Mother got sick, aneurysm blew up in her head. She survived but now is morbidly obese. 1 twinkie away from becoming one of those stay in bed 24-7 types…but not quite yet thank god.

Had to move back in with my parents 7 years ago…financial crisis and all. Took that time to pay off my student loans.

The logical part of my brain tells me that I'll probably have to redo 99% of college…all those fucking classes wasted because it's been 7 years. The emotional part of me is filled with rage over this. It's hard for me say it, I want to put my fist through a wall…but I have to admit it's a likely possibility.

This whole ordeal I've gone through, the financial crisis, the insane debt I've overcome, a suicide in the family, gf cheating on me with a best friend, the rage at my lost professional and earning potential, has really worn down my edge which is why I'm asking you of all guys if my plan is sound.

I'm having serious trouble seeing a way out of my predicament even though I'm way better off financially than I was when it all started. My original plan was to pay off my student loans, save 30-40k, quit my job and get part time work if I need to, get a new round of student loans and go back to school full time. My current job is cool but absolutely cannot work around any sort of school schedule. Go to community college for the basic classes on the cheap if I had to. I'll still be living at home (and that sucks) but my expenses will be minimal. I'm a lot older and more focused now, distractions from school would be minimal. My savings should take care of whatever the loans can't and like I said I can get part time work if I need or even do things right this time around and look into internships.

Sound like a plan?

How often does a girl lose no blood at all when losing virginity?

Importing a Car

How would I go about finding and importing a Lada Kalina Sedan from Russia to Toronto, Canada? I don't think they sell new ones anymore, so I'd have to look for a used one.

I was born with a macrophilia fetish. Basically it's one of those really weird fetishes where I only get turned on if I'm shrunken. Even when I was really young I used to be fascinated with this idea. To put in perspective how bad it is, I've never once been turned on or fantasized about normal sex (I've tried to watch normal porn and nothing happens.)

I've never let it interfere with my regular life, and nobody knows this about me. However, I'm scared about my future. I've never dated a girl before, but what scares me is the idea that I'll fall in love with someone and disappoint them in a bed room. One of my dreams is to raise a child, but I don't think I'm even capable of having sex. I've tried to undergo orgasmic reconditioning, but it doesn't work mainly because my fantasies aren't sexual at all.

Basically I’m asking, how can I fix my degenerate mind? Or should I just prepare for wizardhood.

Picture not related

I don't want to vent to my friends so looks like you lot are putting up with my shit now.

So as the story goes we met as simple 14 year olds, my flirting was sublime and we quickly became pretty close. Shit carries on until I'm 17 even though I had moved country three times in that 14-17 period, talked every day n' shit. Always wondered why she would never accept my undying love for her prudish ass every time I got drunk, turns out she got molested and is all kinds of crazy in there (meaning her head you sick fucks). Ooops.

Any hadn't seen her in the flesh for three years, we agreed to meet for a coffee in Hereford (Lived there for a while as a kid and thus we met). It had honestly never been about the physical attraction to me but fuck, that night she truly looked beautiful. So yeah that was great, six months had passed of us talking like we had done for years until one day she snapped and told her she had to go to therapy for me, my alcoholic ass made her go to therapy!

So yeah, out of the blue some weeks after that she stopped talking to me, wouldn't even reply to me like regular, this happened to coincide with my military application getting rejected. So none of that was great.

It's been a year, I'm 18 now and living with the niggers still drinking every day and felling sorry for my self over failed career aspirations and the one that got away.

How shall I end my life?

NEED HELP

I get depressed when I am chained to a specific task too long, needless to say I change jobs 2-3 times a year, sad part is that it's unsustainable.

I need forms of passive income. Does anyone have ideas or really sources for people who are geniuses at it.

THANKS FOR BEING MY LIFESAVER

ewhore blackmailing

ok so for about a year and half now ive been doing scams on the internet. namely ive been doing this scam called sextortion.

sextortion is when you pretend to be a girl, get pics or videos of a guy, then blackmail him with those pics. threatening to post the pics online. its stupid i know.

here is my situation: paypal recently started investigating my account. I know because i sent money to an online "friend" and he knows his stuff about paypal. Basically it amounts to me having to wait and see if the cops show up or send a letter to my house (i live with my parents). I am thinking of turning myself in but i dont know if ill do it or not.

could someone please give me advise.

inb4 you deserve it you scum

Ugly

Simple question here: How do I cope with being ugly?

I've managed to make it this far in life alright. I've made some good friends. I've managed to snag a job. I made it out of my mom's house. I even managed to get laid once, but sadly that was 2 years ago. I've never had a girlfriend, either. No woman has ever found me attractive that I've known about, and guys disgust me.

I'm not here to ask how to get a girlfriend. I already know that option's off the table. I've come to terms with that as best I can. Even if I weren't ugly, I have no fucking clue what I'm doing there anyway. Rather, I just want to know if there's anything I can do to take my mind off the loneliness. I've got friends, sure, but that only helps so much. Sometimes I just feel miserable, sometimes even when I'm with friends.

For reference, I look like Daniel Johnston, except I'm 21. Take his face and swap on some blonde hair and blue eyes, plus a red/brown neckbeard if I don't shave, and you've got my ugly mug.

27 years old virgin, soon wizard.

Sup /adv/

The post subject says it all, im basicly going to become wizard in 3 years.

But while i might have social anxiety and might seem to be a lost cause, im not.

Im going to fucking pay a prostitute, i dont care anymore about love, i MUST get laid.

The advice i need is, how much should i drop for it?

I understand that protitutes prices are widly inconsistant, they can range from 50 bucks to 10k bucks. So please tell me. How much do i need to pay to no get deseases and have a good time?

Having depression and dating a bipolar person

Hey. This is my first post in this subreddit (although I don't usually post much at all in any subreddit, I just lurk) and I thought it was the best place to talk about my issue. I have depression (in addition to OCD and ADD) and have been dating a person for a few months who has been diagnosed as bipolar, has OCD, and possibly depression herself. Things got serious pretty fast and I'm learning to adapt, since that while I date a lot I haven't been in many long-term relationships, just short ones.

Things have been a bit hectic, as my girlfriend texts and calls me a lot (often at odd times, which usually isn't that bad since we have similar sleep habits) and often gets angry and/or sad at me when I respond in ways she doesn't like or isn't expecting and seemingly gets sad or angry when I can't be with her all the time, which makes me sad because I feel responsible despite always responding to her in a timely manner and being there for me whenever she needs me. But it feels like if I say the wrong thing, it can even be something innocuous that I will upset her and she will be actively or passively aggressive with me or become depressed herself. I often need time to myself to unwind and not be depressed myself, but I feel like if I told her this she would think it was because I didn't want to spend time with her or that I didn't really care about her, and I do care about her a lot so I often don't say anything at all.

I'm really not sure how to deal with the issue, as I will never experience what she's going through but everything I do doesn't fix the issue and only results in sadness or anger (although it seemingly quickly fades and we default to our normal states–but it's terrible feeling it when it actually happens).

Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, any advice on how I should handle things?

Combating extreme restlessness

Why can't I ever chill out /adv/? I can't ever seem to relax. I'm never at peace. I wouldn't say that I have anxiety, but I would say that I have a very restless personality. I realize the aspect of being at a relaxed state is there, but I can't seem to get there. I have trouble sleeping at night and it's often at 2 in the morning that I finally fall asleep. I wouldn't say that I have any sort of insomnia, just that my mind is at a constant pace that never seems to change. I'm told to use this to my advantage and it's true that I'm able to use this to relentlessly focus on a task, but I'm almost never calm. It's not really a state of discomfort which is why I don't pass it off as anxiety, but rather annoyance as it's something that's always there and I want a break from it somehow.

I so wish I could use my freetime to sit back in a state of "zen" listen to some tunes and chill the fuck out, to the point that I'm seriously considering starting to smoke marijuana.

Moving Sates

So /adv/ I have the opportunity to move to Wyoming from California. Do any of you faggots live in Wyoming and what is it like there. Does anyone have any cross state moving experiences? I am pretty conflicted and If any of you fags could help that would be great.

I always talk to this girl over WhatsApp and we get along great unfortunately she's a really busy Person and we never get to hang out. At this point t i dont even want to ask her anymore because she wont have time anyway. Note that I never ask her for a Date or anything just for us to hang out as friends because less face it I am a mere beta and I seriously doubt I am good enough to become her bf.

The next time I might get to see her is next weekend at a festival We're both attending. What can I do? Making her my gf would be really great but I doubt that will happen so I am willing to settle for just being friends as long as I actually get to spend time with her

Relationship is over, feels are not

Advice help me please!

I've just been skimming through my former girlfriend soup blog, and saw all the posts (I discovered she has a blog like this really recently, she never told me about it while we were together). The blog is big, enormous, so I started reading from the date we met till the date we broke up, and saw all the optimism and happiness she wrote about me, to the negativity, resentment and hatred at the end, near the time we split up. It's been almost a year now, but I am still in a bad shap after losing her, and reading this now and seeing how she chronicled every moment we spent together just evoked a train of feels I can't bear. I can't bring myself together! We together mutually agreed that can't live together anymore, it was because of my anxiety and depression mostly, no job, and many problems. She was an ideal girl, I met a few after her, but none was like her! Please, do you have any advice? Have any of you been through the same and somehow manage to get over it and carry on with life?

Because it's an anonymous site and the posts convey mostly the messages I can only decipher, I feel free to link the blog itself so maybe you could get a picture, I don't know, I feel lost at the moment: http://lubiew0.soup.io/

I'm at crossroads. I have no idea which path I should take career-wise, so I came here for advice. Which career path would lead to the most success (in terms of either money or fame)?

Path 1:

I'm already pretty good at programming and hacking. It's something that I've been learning since a very young age. Should I become a very, very good programmer and hacker by learning more and more about it each day, all day long, and working on my programming portfolio? And then complete high-paying programming requests, write exploits (which pay a lot), and shit like that? Ultimately, after years, if not decades, save up, and maybe start a cybersecurity business, or a video game development business.

PS: I'm pursuing a computer science degree, regardless of the path I will take.

Path 2:

I have been diagnosed with autism, as well as "hypermnesia" - a savant memory ability. I have some outstanding abilities in memory, mental arithmetic, and language acquisition. To give you an idea: I can divide up to hundreds of decimal places, and memorize hundreds of digits and other objects in minutes. Should I work on these skills even more, learn lots of languages, etc., and try to market myself on YouTube and in other places, and consequently make lots of money off it (via sponsorships, ads, personal website sales, etc.)?

Which path should I take? Which one would you choose if you were me?

I'm addicted to NTR

Hey /adv/

I'm a pervert like I'm sure many people on this website are. That's not really my problem though. The problem is one particular fetish that causes me anguish. Nothing makes my dick tingle like NTR.

It's hold on me is scary. The story lines tear me up inside, make me angry and feel for the MC etc, but it still gets me off.

After fapping to NTR I usually hate myself and remember all the terrible things people say about cucks. I don't want to lose control of my life like this.

How can I shake the NTR addiction?

Hey /adv/ how do I cuck someone?

I feel like I'm wasting my summer

This summer has been very different from any other summer break, and not in a positive way. During previous summers I've worked weekends or a couple of days per week jobs which provided me with the little money I needed for entertainment and spending on nights out. During those summers I was partying, spending a lot of time with people I considered friends, going on vacations, and most importantly, having fun. This time around however, things have changed for the worse and I can't figure out why.

The friends I had in the past seemingly aren't interested in spending time with me anymore, and I've been spending all my time at home wondering what went wrong. What upsets me the most about the situation is the fact that I'm not doing anything productive, not meeting new people, and not enjoying myself. Personally, I thrive on social interaction and need to be having new experiences to feel fulfilled. It seems to me though that this type of behavior is only human and likely applies to the majority of us. So there must be something else affecting my situation.

I'm the kind of person who feels like I'm always putting more effort into a relationship (friendships) than the other party and always find myself wanting more from the other person. And now I'm constantly trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and questioning why I just don't seem to fit in with these people who used to be my best friends anymore.

I'm looking for suggestions on a couple things; the first being how can I move on and find a new group of friends who like and respect me for who I am.

(It's been difficult because I don't really have any hobbies except working out, and am really more into a bunch of different things instead of focused on one important hobby/activity/sport) eg. I like pretty much every recreational activity but don't do one specific activity every day.

I'm also looking for advice on what to do to make my summer more productive instead of just sitting at home and going to the gym day in day out.

I very much NEED to change my lifestyle and am up for anything.

dumb instagram image

So I was going through my 15 year old child's Instagram, from 3 years ago, since then he hasn't really used any social media that I know of. There only 3 images, two of them pretty average cringey kid shit, memes and such, but the third one was one that caught my attention.

In the picture is friend is seen on the ground with a pillow case on his head and his hands tied behind his back. There was no harm done to said kid in picture, perfectly fine, If I know my son well enough then this is not bullying, he was probably just messing around. I have since taken down the photo's and account but I know that it's probably still saved some where.

Is there anything wrong with the photo?

Will employers find the photo?

If the answer to above is yes will it stop him from being employed?

Am I at fault for not monitoring his activity?

I don't talk to anyone

I haven't talked to anyone in 6 months due to a shitty living situation and depression. I just got my own place in a new town and I feel ready to mingle again but I feel like I forgot how to fucking human.

I need help learning how to socialize. Like, what are the basics of being a good conservationist? Tips on making friends? Fuck.

Frugal Living General

Instead of chewing after eating out, just wad up a piece of a paper napkin and chew that instead. Not only does it clean your teeth better than a stick of gum, but it's not sticky so it will keep our sidewalks clean too. The flavor's nothing to write home about, but you can't beat free.

Need a Job

Hey /adv/ I need to find a job. I have been neet for about 2 years now and am on the verge of being kicked out. I have no car, no resume, no experience, no busline near me, no reliable ride, and I am a complete social retard who is too nervous to even go in stores to apply. I have applied online to the places within walking distance, but some of the places you can't apply online. Even though I have applied to about 6-7 places the past 2 years (this will be my third or fourth time applying to publix which is my least favorite option) I have never gotten a single call or email back and when I call them (which I can barely handle) they say they aren't hiring/other bullshit reason.

Please help, I don't know what to do. If I don't get a job quick I'm homeless. I already tried searching craigslist but there is nothing in walking distance nor any jobs I can do from home.

webm unrelated, said I needed an image to post

I'm in high school and have capabilities to do pretty much any field if I want. I'm trying to decide between taking business/political classes or focusing on sciences and math. Mainly genetics. Any feedback is helpful. (Pay, enjoyment, etc.)

Online dating profile

Whats some good advice when making a profile?

I am concerned about the description, profile image, etc. Should the description be short, detailed or what? any guides?

Here's the deal. I am frustrated. Ever since I entered puberty, the sexual desire tormented me the time I take a break, the time I'm not working on anything, and I don't get to contain it all that well anymore. Before, I fapped once per day, even two, and that was enough. But it's been five years since I started fapping. Nowadays, I hardly feel anything down there, on my worst days, I need three to four orgasms to keep my head clear for barely five minutes. I tried to repress this, but I know it's futile. Working against our nature as a species is probably one of the worst things anyone could do. Precisely, because of its futility. I also feel atracted to chicks when I see them. That didn't happen in the early years of fapping, probably because that was enough. But now, I actually did ask some (several times, always unsucessfully) of them for a date. Most of the times I tried, I embarrassed myself. There was no point. But I still couldn't take it.

Now, I know what you're going to say. Just indulge in your carnal desires, right? I'm not so sure if I should. It's going to bring me pleasure and that's it. Nothing truly useful, no intellectual value, or intrinsecal, nothing. Just a change in the chemistry of my brain for a bit, something any drug could do. You get along with her, and she might cuck you or you might end up married and getting alimony, especially with feminism roaming our world. I'm better off alone.

I could use some discussion.

>No High school diploma

>no GED

>Never learned how to make a resume or fill out a job application

How do you improve your social skills and stop being a little bitch?

Here's my problems as far as I understand them:

>I'm a slow thinker. Sometimes, when someone asks me something or attempts to engage in the bantz, I'll end up replying slowly or in a way that makes no sense because my brain doesn't process what they say quickly enough. It's almost like I have a hearing disorder, except my ears are fine.

>People, especially people that I don't know well make me very nervous. My already slow brain goes into panic mode and I have an even harder time thinking.

>I have a tough time getting interested in people. When I'm forced to interact with people, I usually ask a generic question and let them talk while I nod. Because I don't care what other people say, I also really don't like talking about myself and am bad at it.

Also, what's the deal with nobody posting pictures on this board?

Insomnia Advice Thread

I will begin this with a piece of advice about sleeping in a hot room, since it's summer

where I am it is unbearable even with a fan going, so this is one weirde olde tip that I've discovered

what you'll need is a winter beanie-type hat, the heavier the material the better. soak it in cold water, and go to bed wearing it

with a fan blowing on you, it will keep you cool long enough for you to fall asleep. we radiate a lot of our heat through the head.

it's important for the hat material is heavy, so it holds a lot of moisture, and not too porous, or it will dry out too fast. artificial fleece works well

Breakup

Help

I met this girl with a group of my friends a few weeks ago. She has a boyfriend but the way she talked to me made me feel like she didn't really want to be with him but hadn't left him yet. I'm single and liked her, but didn't really make any moves on her. I'm not a dirtbag.

Recently we hung out at this cookout/party. Everyone had a lot of fun.

During the cookout I get flirtation and signals from her. Plus there's a lot of tension in the air between us. I can tell she likes me.

The party ends, and she texts me later when I got home. She flys out and comes back in a week for unrelated reasons.

She has an internship, and in the next two weeks she may be going away for good. Or staying. We'll see.

This girl seems different. If shes happy with this guy then cool. I don't want her to cheat or anything.

I've had both short and long term relationships, but no girl has ever made me feel that way before. And I know she felt something too.

I wanna do the right thing here.

What do I do here?

androphobia

Hey /adv/, I'm pretty scared of men. I feel like it's because I was repeatedly molested as a child and because my father had forced me into his plans and morals until he kicked me out for being lesbian.

How would you suggest I go about being more comfortable around men?

How do I deal with getting gud and suicide?

There's goals I want to accomplish but I want to commit suicide too. There's also some voice on the back of my mind that tells me "why bother/your deluding yourself/you're never going to make it".

>give advice on how to handle the relationship, that if she's unhappy they should try to talk things out; if neither can make things work out then they shouldn't be in a relationship

>eventually things escalate just a little - one of her IRL friends invites her to meet up with him at a local fair, she declines and opts to stay home marathoning some TV show and talking to me instead (actually includes that detail btw)

>earlier this evening she messages me

>she just can't make things work with her and her bf, took my advice and realized it's probably best she breaks things off

>agree with her

>she's going to tell him soon

The question is, now what do I do? I really like her and want to be with her but the relationship she's already getting out of is long-distance, ours would be the same. Unless one of us was willing to travel then all the usual complications of an LDR would be present. We're still very close in spite of the difference in location, though.

Break up a couple?

I need to end my brother's relationship with his girlfriend. I have no interest in dating her myself, shes just rude as hell and refuses to pay rent, so I want her out of my apartment. How can I cause a schism between these two?

So Ive been fiddling with two of my cousins. Thing is, I fucking love being with them but I love them so much I think I could possibly hurt them. I never force them to do anything and they always come to me. This isnt my first ordeal with v&. I grew very attached to my twin neighbors and we started when we were 7, today we are adults with no issues and we sometimes inconspicuously hint each other of our past.

Should I continue but slow it down or should I stop completely?

Taking out a loan

Moving into an apartment with my girlfriend. Were both tired of dorms. She has 2 cats, and I thought the pet fee was 350, but it's 350 for each. Her parents are fucking nutjobs, and they're gonna put them down if we don't take them. I'll have the money at the end of September, no doubt, but I don't have it right now, and I need it by Saturday.

So, having never taken out a loan, will anyone give a loan for $350 that will be repayed in about a month and a half? I set an appointment up with my bank (Bank of America) for tomorrow.

How do I go about messaging old classmates, etc to find someone to hang out with? I mean there is no way I can not sound desperate, and even after ages of online dating nothing has worked. How do I make friends as a hikikomori? How do I convince someone to even come talk to me?

I live in a small town of 10,000 but with not many people my own age (22) around, although it's less than an hour away from San Francisco, there's a few channers around and I organized a meetup some months ago when I still felt well enough to drive…but I can't expect them to drive out to me, not very often at the very least. So I have to make a friend locally somehow.

How though…..pls help….

Faking sad

Shit guys, im so fucking sad for no apparent reason. I'm having hard times with my girlfriend, been together small time but im so into her and she's going to the Netherlands next month for 3+ years , she's going to study there. Because of that we fear getting hurt and she doesn't want to invest so much emotions in this relationship as I do and already have sone and few days back she asked for more space and that she wants to spend more time with family, friends and others, and she said she has so much she wants to do before she leaves. Everything above makes me faking sad and depressed + i had problems with depression, I do have anxiety, stress and my health is getting worse, my personal doctor said my heart is exhausted because of sport, also I have derealization from coming off ADs.

I've been with my friends and seen one girl what makes me feel guilty because we 're still together and im so into her, but she has so little time for me. When she talks she is very sweet tho.

We're not arquing but im still sad and don't feel like doing anything.

Tell me guys, what would you do? Leave her now, be with her that month? I dont want to feel bad in the future and think what should i have done.

Thanks in advance

writing with phone, sorry for bad language.

I have blown many opportunities in my life. Relationships, jobs, objects, I always choose to destroy them for different reasons. Now I'm 30 and I feel like my current life is a waste, as in my real life was supposed to go a different way, but I failed/rejected that way, so now what I have is this atrophied joke life that doesn't matter since it isn't what I was supposed to have. I dont blame anyone for this, I know the exact reasons it happened.

How do I regain the feeling that THIS life is the one I'm in and supposed to have? How can I convince myself this life is worth living in when I know I could have had something 10x or 100x better? My current life is lonely and devoid of pleasure but its not bad enough to actually consider killing myself over. I just want to be content with having nothing, rather than constantly comparing my life to what I could have had, and feeling 'what is the point?'

Signs or just basic human courtesy?

I need your opinion, /adv/isers,

> be me

> have qt3.14 foreigner for manager from asia

> we usually have short chat sometimes

> I used a basic opener on her once and it turned into a short talk

> one day, we were talking and she asked if I was part of a family (like wife, kids and etc)

> I casually told her that I had no kind of wife or kids

> turned the tables and asked her if she's seeing someone with an indirect question

> she said that she has a fiancee in another country

I don't know if this is basic human decency or an indication of how she kinda likes me.

Halp, /adv/. I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance.

Hey /adv/. Recently two of my friends seem to be excluding me but I can't tell if it's intentional or they just want to talk privately for some reason. Usually we play games while talking over skype. Recently they've started not letting me in when they're talking with each other, and just flat out ignoring me. Everything seems fine if they aren't talking with each other before I contact them, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. If one of the friends joins into a conversation that im having with the other they don't suddenly want to leave and go do things secretly together

What is bothering me here is unless they are playing games together, which is something I can determine myself,they refuse to even tell me what they' doing, or even that they just want to be alone together. It's hurtful when your best friends you've known for years are excluding you from stuff you normally do together.

What I want to do is ask them If I've done something wrong because this is really abnormal behavior from them, but I don't want to be weird. How can I determine if this is just benign and how do I deal with this without hurt feelings? How do I make it clear to my friends that being weird and excluding me is hurting my feelings, especially when they don't even tell me what's going on.

tl;dr friends are excluding me from activities and I have hurt feelings.

Hey /adv/ I hope this is the right place for this post but I have a problem that I need some advice with.

I have a long time female friend who I have known in rather complicated ways since I was in grade school (I'm 30 now.) She has always had a problem with drugs, in high school she and another friend of mine had a severe addiction to cocaine. I had given up on our friendship for a few years since she was generally a bad friend. Unreliable, constantly standing people up, always having drama, never getting along with other friends etc… When I was stupider and younger I loved her.

I ended up not talking to her for a few years, I would avoid her off and on, she would pop back into my life in a progressively worse and worse state. A few months ago a mutual friend of ours overdosed on xanax and no one else volunteered contacting her. I ended up being the one to get a hold of her.

We started talking again, bit by bit. She had a baby with someone who was at the time we started talking, out of the picture. A month ago she found out that the baby's father had died.

She went a bit crazy, got back to using heroin again. Her father, a powerful lawyer that pretty much funds her life and keeps her bouncing from apartment to apartment and rehab to rehab, petitioned her into a mental hospital (which she needed) then proceeded to send her baby to live with her sister in another state and set up a stipend to make sure that the baby was taken care of.

In her mind, her father was out to get her.

Before I left town last week I visited her in the mental hospital, she had said that if she can't get her child back that she would kill herself.

I'm in another country, I thought she was bluffing, that she wouldn't do anything until I got back into the country, which she had promised me. (I should be used to her lying by now.) I didn't hear from her after she got out of the hospital. A mutual friend didn't hear anything either, even though he had been trying to get a hold of her too. I checked Facebook an hour ago and I saw a message from her sister on her wall that makes me think that she killed herself, it was liked by a female friend that her family was close with.

I don't know what to do.

I'm in a foreign country visiting my girlfriend and her family, she has been talking about life altering things, like getting me my work visa so I can immigrate.

I don't know what to do. Do I message the older sister and ask? (From the tone of the message and recent events I feel like it would be stupid to ask.) Do I drop my trip and head back to attend the funeral?

Before anyone asks, I am not a drug addict like my friends were.

I leave, she dies.

Hello /Adv/ this is my first time posting here, I'm sorry if I break any sort of rule, i don't have any friends and you're basically the closest thing.

I met a wonderful woman a couple of weeks ago, i met her at a beach and we started talking, turns out she's being abused by her husband. I tried comforting her and after a couple of days we really became close, eventually I asked her to be my gf and she accepted,

Everything was great but eventually everything started to seem very dull, and i even suspect I may not be the only one shes been cheating on her husband with.

I tried breaking up with her a couple of hours ago, and she said she will kill herself if I leave her.

The problem is that this is not your regular 16 year old trying to manipulate you.

This is a 32 year old woman who's been going to therapy for several years now because of suicide tendencies.

And her dosage was actually doubled a couple of days ago, and even tho I don't love her as a partner I'm still afraid she actually go through with it,

What do /Adv/?

TL:DR Trying to break out of a relationship with a woman officially diagnosed as suicidal and she will kill herself if I leave her.

Hi /adv, this is my very first time here and I would like some help on a life decision. Should I go to college or a trade school? And if trade school, what would be a good trade to go in to? I'm sorry if this is a cancerous question, but I'm really torn between my love for science, money, and working with my hands. Thank you for the advice

flirting tips?

Guys, there's this awkward girl named amber, I'm pretty socially awkward too, but I rlly like her… any advice? Pic slightly related.

Do Not Miss Your Chance to Blow

I've got 4-5 days left until I have sex with my girlfriend again.

Problem is, I'm an early shooter.

Anything I can do to ATLEAST up my chances of lasting longer within such a short time frame?

What career do I choose?

Hey, /adv/, long story short, I have three different jobs I can go into, and I have around a month to choose which one. My choices are:

>Theatre light designer

>Chemical engineer or

>Some job at Bad Dragon(I know it's weird, but I don't really care)

What would you pick? I'm not too concerned about the salary and I think I would like all of them equally.

I feel much more at ease expressing myself in English than I do in my native tongue. I talk a lot about my life in English, but I couldn't do the same in my native tongue, even online. I get awkward. I feel like my native language just plain sucks too.

As I still live in this country, how do I fix this? I have to use my language for IRL stuff, but I usually get so embarassed that I avoid using it at all costs, even on the internet. It really feels like I'm talking in Ebonics.

We have really bad fights like this every few months where she says she wants a divorce. Idk what the fuck to do. Is this even worth fighting for anymore?

Moving on?

I think I already know what the answer may be, but I really need to hear it from other people.

Foreskin extension

I'm bothered by how short my foreskin is, I want it to be long enough to taper down, so it kinda looks like the end of a ballpoint pen or an anteater. I do that thing where you pinch it shut when you pee so that it inflates. I also sometimes put olive oil on my dick and kinda squeeze the foreskin upwards.

Does anyone know of any other good methods for making it grow longer?

I like math, but I don't get it

Hey, /adv/ as a guy, how do i increase my libido? I currently am trying to eat better and exercise more but I want to know other ways to pop more boners/ have them last longer.

Need advice in bleak situation

I posted this on half /adv/ because I didn't know we had an /adv/

I only got one conclusive answer there

but here we gooo

I'm nineteen years old and moved with my mother to live with my father in Texas in September. I was told it was going to take a short while for myself to get set up here, but that short while has been extended to eight months and counting.

My mother and father have done nothing to help me with 'getting started' with life. I can't drive because neither taught me, and I can't learn really because I have no money because I can't really get anywhere to work. I also had to lend my mother about $500 (out of a bank account of $650) to put down my dog. She is slowly paying me back and my father isn't even attempting.My father owes me about eighty dollars for grocery money I lent him.

I was actually offered a job, about eight miles away, but I have no idea how I'd get there and back. I considered walking, but that alone would take a good three-four hours there and a good three to four hours back. Currently, I walk a neighbor's dog for about 25 dollars a week so that's going to take a while to save up, unfortunately. I was going to hit up the DMV so I could figure out what I need to do maybe to get cheap driving instructions/pamphlets, but my mother can't take me there because they close at 5:00 PM and my mother works during those hours, and she's on probation because she just started this job and can't do it for 90 days. It's a 4 to six mile walk there, I believe.

Naturally, because I don't work or can get around more than a few miles, I have no friends, especially since my dog died. I've been getting more and more depressed over my sitation especially with the fact soon enough, my classmates are going into their second year of college/work soon, and I can't even get started with everything. It honestly makes me feel quite inferior.

I told my father this. All he said is that I needed to go to a doctor to get mental healthcare and be prescribed medication. The closest guy near me, within walking distance, provides his services at around $130 an hour, which is cheap, but without insurance I can't afford.

I talked to my mother just last night about how I'm upset I haven't been able to do anything except be cooped up in my apartment and occasionally walk around for the past eight months. She said that she'll be getting insurance, trying to help me with my driving and getting a job (she has, many times, told me not to get a job based on the fact she wouldn't be able to drive me) but that''s going to be about six months from now. I don't think I can wait another six months doing nothing just because I have to wait on her. Even when I offered to maybe take a cheap moped she said it'll be about six months before she's able to free up about a thousand dollars not-including- what she owes me. I would then have to find a way to get my motorcycle license and learn how to ride a bike first to be able to ride a moped. She can't, and my father isn't willing to teach me. I can't afford many lessons or even the paperwork to get that stupid license.

When my brother turned eighteen, he got a car, along with my mother and father to teach him how to drive and he was able to work, and basically start out life a bit. I'm honestly going fucking crazy waiting for something to happen so I can get my ass moving onto life.

Meanwhile, my father gets on my ass for not having a job and is getting on my ass for complaining about the situation while I live under their roof.

I am not a beggar, nor a degenerate, so I will not take disability for lolasperger's nor have some narcissistic gofundme.

I just have to ask, if these two posts weren't too blog-y, how I should tackle this situation? It seems like I'm screwed no matter what I do and I can't wait another 'six months' that turns into another year.

tl;dr parents aren't helping me whatsoever try to get started and I'm floundering while everyone else succeeds plus depressed not wanting to be NEET

Update: my father is no longer going to help me with anything since I got into an argument about how he treats my mother. He refuses to pay me back and now wishes to charge me twice what I make (200 dollars) per month in rent. If he's actually going to do this, I don't know.

Im dying...

How do tell my family and friends that im dying?

Dumb, senseless, insane rants.

Hello half-chan /adv/. I want your help in understanding wht the fuck I started to type this utterely insane shit in reply to some article about meeting women in bars.

It starts off with complete lies (I can go to bars whenever I want. I am not employed. I don't realistically know/care if I look like a sexual predator to sme ignorant people).

Then it goes into me mentioning comple distortions of my own thoughts making it sound like I believe things I don't actually believe and this section is probably also filled with lies and other completely horrible things I can't even bring myself to look at and tell you what's wrong with those statements.

Then it ends in me breaking down into a fucking freewrite were I start exaggerating my "problems". Also probably filled with a plethora of other nonsense.

This wasn't the first time I typed this brand of hogwash. I've been tempted to do it many times before. Probably once every few months or year or something. Not sure.

They used to be worse. I would actually rant about women "wanting rape" and other shit. I think its became slightly more mild now.

Box brackets [] indicate omissions made so I can stay sane after posting this to a chan board.

Of course, that being said I don't know if I'll even be able to read the replies to this.

You don't have to read the whole thing. Its pretty fucking long.

I never finished the post. I just stopped because it would probably just go on forever and I probably made my "point" if there even was one.

Continuing next post because seriously. This is long.

Girlfriend not a virgin, I am

Okay /adv/, this is probably some retarded autist Shit, and I shouldn't even worry about it, but it's been annoying me. Typing this up on my phone, so sorry if it sucks.

>had been interested in a girl for a while (maybe since February or so).

>we study together and had for a year previously. I'm 21, she's 19.

>Stuff happens as the year goes on, we flirt, eventually find out that she has a boyfriend. Still don't stop flirting.

>a couple of weeks ago we're eating together, and she admits that the person she's in a relationship with is a mutual friend we study with. I tell her I'm interested, and she reciprocates.

>a few days later she dumps her boyfriend, we get together ~officially~ last Saturday (the awkwardness that is being experienced is a separate issue to this thread)

>we're really into each other, can barely wait to see each other when we set up a time to meet or go on a date. Whole thing is actually moving a little quickly, but that doesn't bother me too much.

>talking on the phone last night about sex and shit, and she reveals that she'd had sex in her previous relationship, although she didn't really enjoy it that much, and didn't really like the way she was treated as just kind of a hole to fuck.

That's sort of where the story ends. We also had phone sex last night, which was awkward and nerve wracking but also fun. She makes cute noises. Anyway, the point is, I'm really hung up on her having had sex with, and lost her virginity to, this previous boyfriend (who had also been my friend for a year, and I was never told) and I don't really know how to get over it. I know it's a lame autistic, virgin thing to get hung up on. After all, they'd been together for a year, and I wasn't even properly interested until they'd been together for months, so it's not like I was too late to being her first or something, but that's kind of how it feels. I'm not angry with her, and I've googled some stuff that I agreed with basically 100% on the subject. Still, it bothers me. Is this just the sort of dumb thing that will pass when I've lost my own virginity, or what? I understand the obvious advantages to her having some experience, because dear God we'd both be totally fucking useless if she didn't have some experience, and looking at it rationally, I know there's no reason to be upset. Anyone had a similar experience? I think the part that bothers me most is that I know the guy, so there's a face to visualise fucking her. At least she admitted to thinking about me the last time they fugged :-DDD D

Forced Enthusiasm

Hi /advice/. Should I force enthusiasm? I get anxiety when I feel like my forced enthusiasm will somehow exhaust my total aggregate of happiness. I suppose, however, that if such were to happen, I deserve to suffer and atone accordingly, no?

Living with an abusive parent

Hi, /adv/. This is my first time being here. I really needed to talk about this today and this was the only place that I could think of. I'm not sure whether my situation is even one that's possible to give advice for, but anyway.

I'm 19 years old. My mother has been abusive towards myself, my siblings and my father since I can remember. She has some sort of frontal lobe damage or something which makes her get really angry over stupid things, or at least that's how my dad has explained it. She will fly off the handle unpredictably about anything, things like whether we did the dishwasher etc. (which is what set her off today, about an hour ago). She used to hit us a lot when we were younger, but that mostly tapered off as we got older, I think because I started mentioning it to teachers. Now she mostly screams at us and smashes things, although she did kick my sister's dog in the face today, which is what kind of drove me over the edge.

Usually all three of us just take it (since dad has to be out working all day), but today I said some things back to her. Lately I have been getting 'braver' and standing up for myself more. I understand that this only ever directs her anger squarely at me and makes the whole situation worse, but sometimes I feel like I couldn't live with it if I were to say absolutely nothing. This is one of the things I hate about my dad, of which there aren't many. I don't know why he stays with her. I can't understand it and I don't want to, because if he doesn't leave with us/make her leave for his own sake, he could at least do it for ours.

Anyway, she's pretty much angry at only me now. She (mercifully) went in to the sitting room to eat so I managed to run down, get my food and get back here, to my room. I don't have a lock, though, so I never really feel at ease. I'm waiting for this netbook to charge and then I'll probably go in to the bathroom and stay there for a while, so I can just calm down and stop crying. I look like a gross mess right now, haha…

Anyway. atm I'm freaking out because what I said to her isn't going to just blow over. I know as soon as my dad comes home he'll come up to me and ask me to apologise to her. It's been his reaction every other time I've tried to stand up for any of us. And I just don't think I can do it, not this time. I don't think I can go down there and face her and apologise for something I'm not sorry for, and make it seem like she's in the right yet again.

Never in 19 years can I recall her saying that she's sorry for anything. Nothing is EVER her fault or her mistake, it's always her who's cursed with us ungrateful fucks for a family. I called her a selfish cow and I asked her to take a poll and see how many of us wanted her to stay with us in this house. And so she's been ranting on about how she is, I kid you not, "the least selfish person in the world".

I've thought about killing myself for a few years now. The main thought that stops me every time is that I don't want to give her the satisfaction of 'winning'. I'll admit that I've also thought of killing her, and the only thing that really stops me there is the fact that I don't want to go to prison.

My dad's going to come home and he's going to ask me to apologise to her and I don't know what to do. We live in a countryside village; there's nowhere for me to run to. I don't have money to live on my own. Social services would never believe there was enough of a problem to make her leave, especially since I think my dad, as well as my brother and sister, who are more scared of her than I am, would deny anything.

I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. She throws a tantrum every few days at least and it just seems like there's nothing I or anyone else can do.

In case I get any replies, she did threaten to cut off our internet, so if I don't post that's the reason why. She's addicted to the internet herself, though, so I don't think she'll actually follow through on it. Sorry for how rambling and disjointed this post must be. I just really can't put things down neatly right now. It feels like I have too much to say but I'm not sure what the point of saying it is.

I'm not their fucking caged bear.

Every time I try to take myself seriously and let people know I'm trying to change I get a huge fluxuation of negative attention.

I'm generally a pretty silly person, on top of that I'm lazy. All the time I'm thinking about how I want to change and that I can only really do it myself. But when I begin to stand up to doing that and let people know I'mm serious about fixing my issues I get things like, "Typical anon, you'll be back to your old self in a week or so." It makes it so fucking hard to motivate myself to keep going. At times I've tried getting back into self improvement without making it public and people come to me asking why I've changed, I had someone actually say to me, "If you manage to do something I can't I know I have to work harder." This was one of my friends and we still talk, they're having a serious problem at the moment and I'm so fucking happy they're struggling because fuck that person.

What I'm asking here is how can I get people to take me more seriously? Because I've tried everything I can think of including telling people clearly that I'd like to be taken seriously in simmple honest words.

I really need help, this is really fucking with my life, I can't even get into a relationship anymore because once they become familiar with how my peers see me (a funny, lovable loser apparently) they lose interest and I often end up getting treated as if im a hurt fucking animal or somemthing like a clueless little brother.

much confused

So, two chicks have pretty much been competing for my attention. Both of them are friends with each other, both of them are definitely worth it, and both of them are probably going to have shit reactions to getting let down.

/adv/, how do I defuse this situation without getting my dick chopped off and tossed out of the window of a moving car?

pretty sure my (ex?) boyfriend hates me, and i don't know what to do. he last told me to "fuck off" and that i'm "a cunt". he won't respond to my questions about us being broken up or not. he's been ignoring me on and off quite a bit recently, so i can't tell if this is just a more severe version, or if he is sick of me completely.

he doesn't believe i care about him, he doesn't care when i cry or am anxious/depressed, and has started giving me the silent treatment whenever i cry because i miss him/am sad about our relationship failing.

i've been having a lot of health problems (mainly a gastric ulcer that will not heal) lately and the stress from his nonresponsive behavior is making my condition so much worse, and i'm especially afraid the stress is going to put me in the hospital. i've told him this, but he doesn't pay me any mind.

he used to spend 24 hours a day with me, and was always clingy and very affectionate, always talking about how we're going to get married when we're together again… now he can't stand to be around me.

i genuinely thought i'd be with him forever. he's being so unlike his usual self… i don't know what to do. i've not been great in the past (abusive family and general depression/anxiety have made me skeptical and afraid of him/trusting him, and it's made me act out), but it was never because i took him for granted… i was just insecure, and now he appears to hate me.

Right this speaks for itself and most times it's either best to report

it or leave it if it's minor but what if it's a friend (or should say was).

Today (aprox 1 hour ago) I was attacked by a person whom I consider

a long term friend (4 years). I'm not sure what caused him to do such

a thing but he did and I'm not sure if I should report the incident to the

police or leave it.

The attack itself was full of clenched fists to my head, a knee to my face

(while I was trying to stop him from hitting me in the head with his fists)

and kicks (7 before I hit back once) close to a place where it hurts.

I have just cleaned up the blood from my nose and bruise on the side

of my head (also put the clothes in cold water… blood all over them).

His is not injured at all from this (I only hit back once and tried to push

him back from that point) but his hands was covered in my blood.

I also have pictures of my face which I can show the police if I decide to

report it (I will not post them here).

I am shocked that he would just turn around and start hitting and kicking

like this as there was nothing hinting towards it at all before (I was with

him and his girlfriend from 4:00pm helping with their project without any signs).

The only thing that could probably have warned me was the insults towards

someone I care about (he usually comes with strange jokes which sometimes

aren't appropriate) but I ignored it without thinking much about it.

What should I do /adv/? Should I report the incident or just leave it?

Just to add… even if I don't report it I will not consider him as

a friend after this (at least not like it was before). Attacking someone

without reason (as in not provoked in any way) is not something a

freind does.

I've had a massive worry the past several months. I've lately been feeling like my mind is going somehow, it's hard to explain, everything feels– wrong, I don't feel like myself, everything seems so foreign, like there's a film over everything, if that even makes sense.

It started several months back when I was walking home from the gym, everything around me felt so strange to me, everything seemed so unfamiliar. I knew where I was, I wasn't lost or anything, it just didn't seem right. Then I got home and it didn't even seem like home; as if I walked into some other house, it didn't seem familiar at all. This particular event is very difficult to articulate into words. I felt normal after I got some sleep and didn't think much of it afterwards, but now I'm having days where I feel like this more and more often. New places make me have these episodes so I especially experienced it during my recent camping trip.

I don't know if this has anything to do with what's going on inside of me but I've become increasingly apathetic about everything. I am still able to think rationally and make logical decisions, but even when my dog died last week whom I had for 14 years didn't really effect me yet my family was in tears.

I don't really know what to make of all this. I'm 19 so apparently that makes me ripe for the picking of this particular nut tree.

Is this what my sources tell me is happening to me? God, I hope I'm wrong. What do any of you know about this? Firsthand experience? I don't even have time to see a professional as I work 64 hours a week achieving a workers victory at the Sharpie factory.

Finding a girlfriend

I need some help. What are the odds of me landing a GF, and what can I do find one?

Some things about me-

>Literal aspie

>Extremely quiet; hardly talks to anyone

>Live with family in late twenties despite not attending College

>No car, just walk everywhere

>Have extremely fixed interest on vidya & animation, hardly care about anything else

>Social skills are below average

>Don't smile a whole lot

Fuck. The best I have going in my life right now is a shit-tier grocery store job.

Does anyone here get really bad anxiety almost schiziophrenic about weird shit and when it dies off feel like a complete idiot afterwards?

Hello adv, I could use some help.

I've recently recognized and begun addressing sexual guilt issues I've had due to how I was raised + some bad experiences in highschool/freshman year (like I had it in my head that I could be too aggressive and that being…myself I guess was wrong. )

The problem in question is a girl that lead to this realization.

the long and short of it is that she was the first girl in three years (I'm a college senior) that I felt attracted to. She also happened to have a crush on me and we kinda awkwarded out for about 3 weeks. That entire time I felt like going strong on her would be wrong or something.

As in that feeling was strong enough for me to do the most autistic thing I've done in a while: the most awkward foreplay ever in the history of man (can I do this? Can I do that?) And lying about not having a condom when she asked so it wouldn't go further (which is how i learned she was a virgin too, which was further confirmed at other times). Plus having her take top out of some weird ass fear that I would be too much if I went top.

So of course neither of us are feeling chemistry. Half the time was awkwardly handholding in silence andth the like. And I've also blueballed (I never knew it was a real thing. The throbbing is real) myself TWICE. Yet despite that, when she broke up with me (and to be honest I was thinking of breaking with her) she made a legitimate effort to try to remain friends with me. We've studied together, chilled with mutual friends, etc…

So after that clusterfuck, I realized that the was something fucked up in my thinking and worked on the issue.went out more than usual, put myself in situations I normally wouldn't have, and asked out/went out with girls I had no interest in to just get more comfortable with the situation.

So I want to go out with the girl in question again. Maybe it will work out maybe it wont. That isn't the problem in itself. I just have no clue how to approach this. She's a good friend regardless and has my back when I need it. But how do you even introduce the idea of retrying with someone you basically epically failed with. And how can I go about it without possibly fucking up the friendship? I don't want her to think I became friends to just wait for another opportunity or some shit that I've seen others do unintentionally. Hell I wouldn't want to try again if I hadn't enjoyed the person she is over the last half year.

So what do adv? we're both uni students. Any suggestions, or should I just keep the friendship and find someone else?

(She isn't my only female friend, but she is one I'm still quite a bit attracted to. She's a real introvert. Into twin peaks and tends to be quiet. it also isn't from a place of weakness. She enjoys writing? Dunno what information is relevant here… things just seem easier with new people/strangers)

Pic unrelated because my phone… guess a little relayed considering I'm Brown. Also feel free to mock me for my autism, because I'm still laughing at myself for some of that.

Since everyone seems to be make a new thread for their case, I will too.

There is a special person whom I speak to everyday and I have been fine with

it until now. There isn't much time for me to speak to her, I'm finishing sixthform

and it's her last year of Secondary… she is 16 and I'm 19.

I'm lost on what to do… Recently she has started taking things from me and hitting

(in a playful way) but I'm not sure if it's a go ahead and ask her or just a good

friendship.

It started before our last year started, we were placed in the same form due to the

school changing it's structure and Instantly we started speaking. From the start it

was easier to speak to her than anyone else and we have a lot of things in common

(situation at home, literature, tv shows, ect…). This was before a 6 week break…

When I returned, we both started speaking again but it gradually became harder to

speak (to the point where I could be called mute) to her. We share the same humour

and even the rejection of authority (no one is above or below), but even with all this

I struggled. After a while she introduced me to a series she was following and after it

became slightly easier.

With all this there was a point where someone brought up the topic and she said

"I would never go out with you" but after a while she started saying things like

"I wish form wouldn't end", "I'm bad with relationships", "I'm a cold person" and

other things along those lines.

I have picked up drawing again because of her, uni-cycling (my attempt of being funny

and ended up becoming another hobby), ect… and I am at a point now where I don't

know what to do at all. Everyone around me keeps on saying I should just ask her but

I just don't know what to do (or what I'll do after if I ask her) and it is currently on my mind

24/7.

I'm not good with others emotions (understanding them to be exact) and often fail to see

what someone feels about me or persons around me (If someone is crying I will only comfort

them if it's something out of their control). She is the light that motivates me to continue

working towards my dreams and now also a becoming a part of it.

Another reason why I don't know if it's her interested in the same way as I am is due to being

the perfect listener (everyone speaks to me about their problems, even if they should be kept

between the persons involved) as I will never tell anyone else unless it could harm them.

Some come to me and speak about their sex life and others speak about what problems

they have at home, in school or in their relationships.

So I don't know if she is really interested or it's just me going off to my own world everyday.

It might be over thinking this but I am just generally bad with people and there is a whole

story behind that (too long for here).

That's it /adv/… I'm lost and I don't know what to do.

Side note: I'm meeting her today (it's 02:33 am as of writing) at an event she wants to

go to.

Alright /adv/ lay it on me.

I'm in a weird situation that will resolve one way or another; and requires a bit of backstory which I'll try and sum quickly to get to good bits:

I live in an apartment with paper thin walls and a cute girl. I could hear her have sex with her bf and masturbate when I was just laying in bed becaouse both of our bed/bathrooms are next to each other.

I came home drunk one night and lightly tapped on the wall before masturbating which was the start of a bad habit™ - I'd also tap lightly when I heard her masturbate, and I'd try and tap some nights to say "I'm listening pls masturbate"

>yes I know it's a bit fucking weird I'm a thirsty dweeb who is banging a 40yo.

sometimes I would think she's tapping back at me. but with the paper thin walls paper dropping onto the floor causes the place to rumble.

so anyway forward to a few weeks ago, I actually went up to her and apologised, I mentioned that the walls are thin and "I like to build things so I could be hammering away into the night" ( I also did breifly mention knocking but obviously I didnt want to incriminate myself justincase)

she stated that she couldnt hear anything and everything's fine and if either of us are too noisy, just knock on each others doors and etc.

now

>(I'll put my thoughts into greentext just to seperate them;)

so now, as in, yesterday morning, last night, and this morning, she's been knocking back. and I mean loudly and distinct.

yesterday morning she knocked while I was just waking up, I "yawned" loudly, (seeing where this would be going) and she walked out of her apartment ( paper thin walls remember) walked down to the laundry and banged on the wall while taking her washing out to hang on the line outside.

I got up and made my coffee and watched her through the reflections of the window.

>I actually think she wanted to wake me up and let me watch her outside

bending over with her ass right in the direction of my apartment windows etc.

I stayed inside, finished my coffee ( by this point she came inside ) and I went to the toilet. which I could hear she came to the other side of the wall of then stopped moving. we both lightly tapped ( at this point I had a raging boner ) and I started masturbating enough to hear the squish of my precum. I tried to listen out to any noises and became so attentive to noises that I started to lose my boner. then I BELIEVE I heard her moan; so I gasped as I came and she rolled the toilet paper and flushed the toilet.

Help

2 lazy 2 type all that shit again. Should have asked here. Pic related

Never done this before

I'll keep it simple.

On Jewbook the other day i saw my cousin was in a photo with some QT asian. Naturally I looked at her profile.

Turns out she makes youtube vlogs and stupid shit like that. small time only about 11 subs and 5~7 views a video.

The thing is I don't go to their school, i've been out of school for a year now and I need to know how to start something with her, just the intro shit i'm okay after that.

Should I just hit her up on facebook with some bullshit like:

>Liked your youtube videos and damn you're friends with my cousin? crazy haha

(Keep in mind she loves anime, emoticons like =^_^= and is 16)

She must be easy but I want your guys input

Is this allowed? Is there a better board.

Hello anons. So just a bit of backstory. I endured some serious emotional abuse as a child. Never anything physical, but incessant psychological torment was the norm for me.

>>inb4 angsty teenage faggot I wasn't

I took it on the nose and didn't complain or share, but it fucked me up. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized how drastically different the conditions of my childhood, and the state of my mind were from the norm, and the psychologically healthy. I had even been diagnosed with some serious psychological problems including legit PTSD and others which I'll omit for my own comfort.

In the process of my recovery, which has yielded drastic results in my life (I have no money for therapists or anything.) I've shared with friends and learned to meditate and ask introspective questions. I sort of broke a mainline recently and it's weighing heavily on my mind. I'm recalling with uncomfortable clarity some really perverse things that occurred in my childhood. Is this an appropriate board to talk about this type of stuff on? Is there a better board? is there even a subreddit I could go to to talk?. I'm not really comfortable talking to my friends about it. I want the security of anonymity, and like I said, I have no money for therapy.

Job

I didn't learn much programming from the 2 years studying S.E. and am making a radical change in careers, meanwhile I need a job. I like vidya, could working on a place like gamestop work for me? I like music and play an instrument, could a place like guitar center work for me? What other jobs could I go for that aren't a damn call center or something of the like?

Pic unrelated

I'm forced to live with my mentally ill mother (who owns the house I'm in and trashes it out) and my father who works and pays for the house, is their a way to get my mother separated from me before I turn 18?

What am I doing

What the fuck am I supposed to do with my life?

Girlfriend Shit

Well I don't want to bother my friends about this so I might as well just talk to some random people on an anime imageboard.

So I've been having troubles with my gf as of recently, we've known each other for like 3 months and have gotten REALLY fucking close since then. We met in real life but our relationship has mostly been long distance until she can move to where I am.

What am I saying, we're not even dating. We only dated for around a month when we first met.

It's weird how our current relationship is, actually. We're not dating but we still have strong feelings for each other, and we constantly tell ourselves that the moment she moves up here we're gonna start dating again.

Thing is though, I'm an autist and I constantly worry that while she's telling me how much she loves me she chats up other guys at the same moment. I should have mentioned she left me for another guy, then left him so she could get closer to me again.

I just, need help. What do I do. Yesterday I got mad at her because her sister mentioned how she's been talking to another guy and I tried to cut contact from her. Today she told me how important I am in her life but for some reason I just don't believe her.

I still love her.

Sweaty

So guys, what do I do about excessive sweat? I'm a pretty skinny guy, so lose weight isn't the answer. I've tried some of the strongest antiperspirants I can find in most stores (mitchum advanced and arrid xx dry), but those do fuck all for my underarms. And that's not all. My entire upper body sweats a lot, and so do my feet. If it honestly gets above 65-70 degrees, I am uncomfortably hot and drown in the sweat. I have to shower twice a day and constantly bring ice water everywhere. Is there something else I can try before seeing a doctor? I've got no insurance, so I wanna try everything before wasting money if the doc tells me I'm just sweaty and that's it.

How to stop taking life's shit

I suck at interacting with people.

I live in the middle of nowhere because of my job. I don't hang out with people often because of my location. So a lot of times I feel lonely and depressed.

But in the rare instance where I do go commute and interact with people in a bar, I'm fucking terrible at it. Not only do I just suck at it, but I also can't stand being in crowded areas for too long.

Yesterday I was at a bar with a big group of people I know. I liked this one girl for awhile and when I went for it last night, I got rejected. Later another guy I know walked out of the bar with her (they're officially a couple as of today), so that lowered my already nonexistent self esteem. This, as well as being in a crowded bar just made me feel like shit.

One "friend" of mine went up to me and said that I just suck out all the joy in the room. Her blunt saying to me made me just walk out of the bar and go pass out in an alley for the night.

How do I stop being such a loser? All I want is a group of friends that want to hang out with me but nobody I know is really into the same stuff I'm into and I'm just terrible at being a normal, sociable person.

Sup /adv/, long time reader with an oddball question.

I've been thinking more and more that women aren't really able to be trusted with anything sensitive.

That sounds really venomous, so let me explain. Women consistently play with men's emotions and feelings, as well as being know to shit-test men that they have interests in. They are also known to not be able to keep secrets really well, and they just generally get in the way.

Now, I'm not a redpill extremist faggot, I'm just noticing the trend and it's freaking me out a bit. I've watched a lot of movies, and it's always the women who fuck shit up. It's always some stupid bitch who tells the cops or tells the bad guys, or is too shy to carry a gun and get's kidnapped, or turns out to be the villain the whole fucking time anyways.

Am I crazy or do you guys feel the same way about this?
