"/adv/ - Advice" is 4chan's board for giving and receiving advice.
Want to ask a Russian girl out but some people tell me that the culture is too different and I "wouldn't want my children being raised by someone who is completely different to I am." Are Russian/ Slavic girls incompatible with regular white guys? Do you consider Slavic people white? Any experiences? I've been going to therapy to work on my self hatred. One issue I keep butting up against is the idea of self love and self worth. I'm being told that I just need to value myself fundamentally and intrinsically. Almost like a logical axiom.
Is it that simple? Am I supposed to accept my self worth the same way I accept the law of contradiction? Where in the world can I find a cute virgin gf that likes video games and will love me and be loyal? Is life actually worth living or do people just say that to make you feel better, to be polite? And they also have no clue? I wonder what I did to deserve this. Do Women tend to be offended if an unnatractive guy tries to flirt? How do I stop feeling sad after being rejected when I asked someone out How does getting escorts work? I’m 19, and kinda rich before I made hundreds of thousands off pump and dump crypto schemes so I want to finally lose my virginity, I wanna get some premium fancy escort. But how the hell does it work? Do you just knock on her door, shake her hand and give her the money and go straight to the fucking? Or is there any ritual beforehand that you need to do? It seems pretty awkward can you guys enlighten me? Odd question but can someone walk me through how bubble tea places make their tea, like what ingredients they use and such? Goal: Achieve the highest level of sexual arousal possible
Reason: Why not?
How do I achieve this? Any advice or tips are appreciated, thank you.
And no I won't do poppers Please how do I stop doing this? I'm a decently-paid government worker with a nice amount invested.
My dream is to earn enough through passive income that I can "retire" and focus on my hobbies (art, animation, 3D)...
My current investments, over the past 5 years, earned me an average of +4.5% value YoY. So above inflation, just barely.
That's not nearly enough.
I need books, tips, and advice on becoming a property investor/landlord.
I can save enough to buy an apartment, since that's a much higher ROI source but I need to know how to manage it... I have a lot of weird fetishes so whenever I have the chance to have sex irl I am completely unable to keep an erection. I quit porn already but the problem remains How do I rid myself of the desire to want to use people? I view people only as a means to an end, but I can't stop this pattern. It's made making friends basically impossible. Never done it before. Is this actually a thing that happens (outside of high school/college)? >18 years old virgin NEET who peaked in elementary school
How do I undo this situation? I pretty much checked out of life after I was 12 years old thanks to COVID and I never bounced back from it. I was born in 2007 and I still think of me and people my birth year as just kids because I never hit any milestones it feels weird that I am an adult now. It’s crazy that people my age are already driving and having sex and marrying and I just spent all my life at my computer and phone.

>still doesn’t talk, but it feels like she wants me to notice her
>what’s her angle? testing me, fishing for attention, or something else? she still has her bf and brings him to the gym from time to time
I would never message her, because we are both in relationships and I have no interest in her being able to spread rumors that I tried to reach out or contact her. she doesnt seem to care about these things.
It's kind of a boundary violation. The fact that she messaged me shows a lack of respect and impulse control.
I have given her absolutely no reason to contact me. There's nothing we need to discuss or coordinate.
I’d list all the shit she pulled on me, but this post would be way too long.
I was always patient with her (probably made her think I'm weak), but I’ve had enough of her games and want to teach her some respect. how? do you wish you could turn back time to college / hs? and not waste time doing stupid shit like doomscroling I don't ever read, by the way. I also don't have room for it on any of my shelves. But I'm a big fan of the movies so maybe I'll seem more legitimate that way. The books look nice, they're hardback. And it's not only the 3 LOTR books but also the Hobbit and the Silmarillion. Money wise its not an issue. I can easily afford it within my spending money budget. Could be a good decoration. Or maybe it will push me to read a bit more? Who knows. What does /adv/ think? are 1 intensive month of training courses to be job ready scams?
I've been with my gf for almost two years. It's recently come to my attention that she is still in contact with her ex to a somewhat high degree. They both still perform in a music group together, and she will take trips for these performances at universities maybe twice a year. She never disclosed who she was playing with to me before, and still hasn't (although I haven't asked.) She has also never disclosed to me that they were previously engaged. I found this information on my own by reading her publicated thesis, where she had written a dedication before the abstract.
The other night while we were together, she went to share something from Facebook messenger on her phone, and the first suggested contact to share to was her ex. (Huge red flag for me)
When I checked whose Netflix she uses, it's his.
Her Facebook is still full of old pictures of them together as well, and none of us together.
I highly doubt she is cheating on me physically, also her cuck ex bf lives in Europe where he belongs. However of course there is a possibility at these concerts they both perform at. This really disturbs me.
This type of "emotional" cheating does in fact bother me quite a bit. As recently as last year she was liking content on his Facebook and even a "heart" emoji on one of his profile pictures. Wtf is up with that? You hearted his gay ass profile picture???
Am I cooked or what? I'm not even sure how to bring up this topic and it has been festering in my head for a while and only getting worse.
I feel very disrespected and want to confront her, but I don't want it to turn into a huge blow up. Unless of course it's worse than I think. What do you think bros i’ve always had many sexual thoughts starting as a child but these thoughts gradually got more morbid in my teen years. i would start feeling things about foreign objects, people (including family members), and even animals. i never acted on these thoughts and never intend to. but i still feel like a bad person and bad partner . any advice ? >be me, 20m
>coworker is 16f, going on 17 this month
>she’s cute as fuck and has taken a liking to me, which is fairly uncommon
>reciprocate these feelings
>eventually get her number and start texting n a regular basis, learn that she acts very childlike
>still attracted to her but feel very guilty, like a disgusting fuck who’s trying to deflower an impressionable child
What the fuck do I do here? I understand it’s weird but I really do dig this chick. I have zero intention of being predatory or rape-y towards her at all. I believe that genuine sexual predators oughta get beaten half to death. But still the guilt is starting to set in now that I’ve somewhat committed to the act. How do I proceed? I want to break up with my gf. We are currently long distance (weren't in the beginning) and I found another girl.
How do I tell her I'm breaking up to cause the most amount of emotional damage to her?
>write a letter gaslighting her that she never made me feel loved and someone else did
>just ghost her completely
>write a letter that says basically nothing except it's over
>write a letter implying I think she cheated (she didn't) and the ghost her
>send her a video of me and the new girl fucking
Any other ideas? I don't know which one would be the best.
Right now I'm leaning towards the letter making her think that I think she cheated. >be me 18 in hs
>dont talk with anyone and have no social life
>jewish teach is taking us to clean a jewish graveyard
>people from all classes are coming

Should I go? How do I get over fear of authority? As an autist, is it possible to mask so well that I blend seamlessly in with the normies or can they always tell?

I used to think I could spend my life on a computer. Now everything feels so fake and annoying. You don't find neat little cool things anymore. Everything is just heavily corporatized psyops and normie shitflinging. I have straight hair but he main problem is that I have a LOT of hair, I'm trying to avoid shorter haircuts and "fades". How do I cope with being a self hating black man?
I feel completely alone as I am not compatible with any racial group
There seems to be no online forums for people like me, every black forum is delusionally ethnocentric why am i keen on rehabilitating broken women? why do they gravitate towards me and vice versa? i try to help those in general, but when it comes to romance, i play therapist and try to help heal women or guide them to the path. but then i have to remind myself that some women know the answer and just want validation.
how do i unlearn this? it seems to honestly be one of my problems when pursuing a relationship with a woman. I feel happier and aroused thinking of myself as male. Been having these tranny urges since I was 10 at least. Never been sexually abused or active, not lesbian, and these urges don't go away even if I resign to just being a tomboy. I don't understand other women and have been rejected by most of them but none of the other women I've known who've been through the same have thought like this so I don't think it's that instrumental in why I'm like this. Just want to be normal honestly. How to stop, what do?
>inb4 just troon out
Larping as an ugly manlet will effectively end what little chance I had at love in the first place. I don't agree with the ideology, and while I find myself agreeing with and relating to men more, I'm not retarded enough to believe I'm a man trapped in the wrong body. If I made zero friends in college and am still a virgin, how fucked am I? I basically haven't had any social interaction in about 5 years. me and my ex broke up over a year ago and it was rough (for me atleast). we were both a bit toxic and she has bpd so it was rocky but i loved her.
now i’ve been with my gf for 7 months and haven’t seen my ex since, until yesterday. i went to a book store with my gf and i noticed my ex. i completely ignored her and felt incredibly tense just seeing her, but then my gf and ex just hugged each other??
turns out they met at the gym a few months ago and have been friends ever since? i had no clue and my gf knows about the history and doesn’t care.
why hasn’t my gf said anything about this, am i wrong for thinking this is weird as shit? all this time they’ve been going to the gym together sometimes and even went shopping
Okay i need some advice. Asked here last year but just got bullied
Im soon 24 and before i turn 30 i have a bunch of cosmetic surgeries i want to do.
3 weeks ago I did my hair transplant to fix my hairline and it worked out great as you can see by my hairlone it works out great (wont be thick and natural for another 12 months)
And next im getting my eyebrows lasered so they permanently go from the mid pic to the bottom pic (first time in the coming week)
Then my question is what should i do next? i have a bunch of other surgeries lined up that i want to do but need to save up for and in what order?
Fixing a slightly bent tooth with some sort of teeth correction device that costs the equivalent of 5k usd (pic of teeth in replies)
Teeth whitening which im considering next since it only costs the equivalent of 500 dollars but i would have to pay another 500 dollars after fixing my teeth if i do that first so im unsure if i should wait for that
Jaw surgery for a more prominent jaw (pic in replies, kinda not accurate since i put on 10kgs due to the surgery and fat goes to my face
Eyelid surgery (normal surgeons wont do this because the "difference is too small" so i have to go to a top guy in france and that costs 15k )
Height surgery (went from 174cm to 176-8 cm after fixing my back but i want to be 185cm) and its very expensive
Nose surgery cause my nose is so big
And lastely if i cant fix it through training, shaving of the hip bone surgery)
Which do you think i should do next? Which is worse and most "urgent"? someone claimed that theyll leek my telegram chat to my family, can they do that on that app?
only I sent was my first name and an obscured pic
I just want to know if its an empty thread haha april 1st, get it? cuz im the joke for going :/
what should i do to prepare? can i just scream jury nullification to get out or will they arrest me. What are some good sfw porn sites?
(both /r/ and /wsr/ are closed so I'm asking here) >sense of dread/doom when anything new
>like to keep a very specific schedule of events every day
>huge emotional over-reactions to mundane events so have to live life on eggshells
>huge terror of displeasing others and being yelled at
>this is a sword of Damocles over my head
>even consciously acknowledging this doesn't stop it
Is there any help? I think my nervous system is just bugged and I've always been like this. Only help is to escape into escapism for long periods and null my sense of self-awareness. >be me
>stuck in burger king bathroom with diarrhea
>apparently it's also a cruising spot
>so far three men have attempted to initiate gay sex
>one of them stuck his dick under the shared wall between our stalls
What the fuck do I do? I've been here 20 minutes but it's felt like an eternity. I know i'm not going to make it to my car without shitting myself, let alone the drive home. How do I make my diarrhea stop immediately? How do I get rid of this curse? I spend at least an hour on the toilet, and about 40 of those minutes just wiping, despite using wet wipes. My asshole is raw and stings like hell, plus I think I have hemorrhoids. Fiber doesn’t make it any better. The only times I don’t have to wipe as much is when I have diarrhea or when it’s hard. How do I gain a sense of humor? I want to make girls laugh at my jokes and hours later gag on my cock because I'm so funny. Is retiring worth it? Or will you just end up getting depressed and dying early? What does it indícate if a woman (29y.o) suddenly removes all her instagram highlights? (i’m not blocked as she uploaded a story of her garden)
Her highlights were pics with her parents, sister, friends (not even “hot” pictures she could regret or pictures of a pet that may have died). And then she suddenly deletes them. Does it mean she is going through some type of crisis? is that the 2020s equivalent of dying your clothes black in the middle ages? I need to know what’s the reason she may have done this. If you're getting a new TV, which console would you get and why, a Switch, a PS5 or an Xbox? Should I just give up?
I've been searching for a woman that wants to be my girlfriend, but they all don't seem to want a boyfriend.
I thought girls wanted romance and love and shit.
Right? so uh I js got here yesterday and I [kinda?] have gotten used to this platform [setting up thread watcher and checking out the boards] but if there's anything else I should do, what should I do??
Im a femanon who is trying to find a guy on soc, and I hit it off with someone. Our first vc was 6 hours, but I told him I couldn’t date him unless it was casual because he’s across the ocean. Over the week, we were connecting with each other, flirting, and watched a movie together. He asked me to call him pet names, and said sappy things that I reciprocated.
However, we disagreed on a few fundamental things. Many of my friends are trans, and he think it’s all a fetish. He thinks having exes as friends “rots the soul,” but I have a good friendship with both of them. I considered breaking things off, but decided I’d stick with it because he said himself that he was open to changing his mind about trans people.
Things were normal, but then literally within a half hour of him asking me to call him darling, he said that he “sees now” that we will never date because casualness “cheapens” his future relationships. I asked him to call, agreed that it was a logical decision because of his values, and asked if he genuinely liked me or if he was just eager to date anyone. He says he genuinely liked me, and that he was uncertain about dating ever since I told him my stance on long distance that week ago. He then blocked me. I thought we could’ve stayed friends.
I realized I made a mistake, and sent a long message saying that I genuinely enjoyed his company and was mistaken in being overly detached with an alt account. He said no and then “embittered” my view of him by saying rightoid bs I don’t care about. Then, he blocked me again.
What the hell is this? I just don’t get how a person can say “I think we are perfect together” and then later do this shit within the span of a week. The reason he ended things was because of casualness, but how is chasing after him and admitting to my mistake not a change from that one barrier? Idk what advice I am looking for since this is a strange situation
I started dating her at 22 when she was 25 and I was pretty introverted when I met her so I never dated anyone else
Her friend suggested I have sex with other girls since men dont attach emotionally so easily and itll boost my confidence
She is not going to have sex with other men and has no desire to so itll only be me going crazy for 6 months
How should I approach this she says I cant fall in love with or date any other girls >we have perfect chemistry and have so much in common
>she already has a bf and is clearly not as interested in being with me as much as I am with her Can I still make close friends after 26 or is it a wrap?
I feel like after college everyone starts doing their own shit
I'm writing this out, mostly for catharsis, but I would appreciate some advice anons. I wish the world was in a better state. I'm doing pretty good for myself, I have a roof over my head and I can buy pretty much anything I want (I have no desires for mansions or sports cars or anything like that). But I know that I'm in the minority, and so many people are struggling all around me. I get really sad when I see homeless people, or if I see someone I know having financial troubles. I try to give what I can, but there's nothing much I can do. And that's just one thing that's been bugging. I feel like I don't have much of a desire to live at all anymore. I don't want to die, because I like being alive, but, well, life is boring for me. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I mean, I like listening to music and working out and reading, so I have some nice hobbies. But it feels like there's always something stopping me from living how I want, be it work, or familial obligations, or whatever. I don't know. This is just some schizo rant. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have everything I could ever want, but I feel so empty. I don't feel like this all the time. Half the time I'm pretty normal, enjoying everything, but the other half of the time (especially at night), I'm so empty I don't want to do anything but sleep or scroll on my damn phone. Speaking of my phone, I think it's ruining my life. I'm addicted to it, but I don't want to be. I want to just cut it out of my life completely, but I don't know how. I need it for so many things, I just wish I could cut down on my use of useless applications like Tiktok and Youtube and Reddit. Even deleting the apps doesn't work because I just use the browser versions. I could go on forever but I'll stop here. If you read all of this, know that I appreciate it, and I wish you all the best in life.
At a point in my long term relationship where decisions are to be made or else it's over. mostly around meeting my family and moving in together. I haven't met his parents either, but they live abroad and don't speak English. I'm too chicken shit to introduce my partner and parents to each other. I've never introduced my parents to any romantic partner I've had, or even friends of the opposite sex. I'm terrified of leaving my father alone after my mom left, terrified of growing older and becoming independent. I don't have any friends, and really only got my dad and bf. I know they won't get along, and it makes me feel weird to imagine a situation where we're all together. I don't blame him if he leaves me, he probably deserves better. I don't know if I could ever put all the work into making another long term relationship happen, so this will probably be the last one. I work at a start up and it seems it's slowly falling apart, wanna quit my job anyways and return to university this September to start again. but everything feels so bothersome I kind of just want to clock out to avoid addressing the situations I've created for myself. Ik it's cowardly and retarded, I know I got issues and probably am autistic or got some other social problem. or just am severly lonely and depressed. don't really know what advice I want, im just bitching How to get myself to study?
I have a big test coming up in a month and I've burnout my will to study anything.
even when I force myself I just stare at the pages, and have this brain fog all the time.
Any advice? >check what my high school bully is now doing
>he's the CFO of a large company with a banging hot wife, while you remain a mentally ill incel NEET
unironically how the fuck do I even cope
It's even possible to feel both pride and misery at the same time?
I’m happy for my friend "matt" getting married, but I can't shake the deep sense of despair that comes from realizing he accomplished something I couldn't. Not even the "Chad" of our group, who’s a self-destructive nihilist wasting his life on shallow affairs, has reached this level of personal fulfillment.
Because that guy’s an idiot, constantly unhappy even with his superior looks. But my friend "matt", the one getting married, somehow outdid ALL of us. He’s marrying a beautiful, loving woman who’s completely devoted to him and the cherry on top is that she is a virgin.
I’m happy for him, sure, but I'm also jealous, bitter, and feel utterly unlovable. I’ll never have that, and it’s eating me alive. The worst of it is that i hate myself for feeling this way,.
Because I should just be happy for him. I used to comfort myself with the idea that if even "Chad" can’t be happy, then I’m fine because i have an excuse to say "if someone like him cant start a family its fine.that i cant". But now I’ve realized someone from my own group has made it, not because he's special or wealthy, and it’s destroyed me. I have no excuse to be mediocre anymore. I'm garbage, I should feel proud of my friend but I'm envious of him. I will never compare him. Not even our "Chad" friend could with his supreme looks. If Matt could what's stopping me? I'm a mediocre imbecile. not sure if i have enough leg muscle I'm from Central/Eastern Europe and live near a Romani part of town and they are pretty well assimilated. The girls seem very humble and well-behaved and they even greet me first when I walk by. Could cold approach work? Ofc I'm not gonna do it often to look suspicious How does one obtain military training while still remaining a civilian?
I am from eastern europe, more specifically romania and I would be interested in getting trained as a soldier for many different reasons.
However due to high probability of conscription I would rather not be on any list of military trained men(if the training my government provided was of any worth at all).
In my country you can't even have a knife on you while being on public property much less own a gun unless you're a high ranking government employee. So this possibility is out.
Nor am I medically able to serve in the french foreign legion due to chronic diseases.

After graduating I've been unemployed for 3 months now (on top of the 4 years I spent for my degree). I take care of elderly family, but I'm losing my mind with this free time. I got offers to apply to the Navy for NUPOC or as a NOAA Comissioned Officer, which I will chase, but I lack confidence, particularly due to no (since 2020) employment history. I spent most my life playing vidya and tried hard to separate myself from that identity during college as a freelancer, but there's little fruit.
I have a literal handful of IRL friends that are all dumber (less educated) but more successful than me, all who work manufacturing/trades or own their own business.
Do I go all in as a manufacturing/tradie wage slave? Do I stick it out and try to land a unicorn gig? I had imposter syndrome until right before the the free money in tech dried up. I like working with my hands and learning new skills, and I'm a competent programmer.
I'm fortunate to have wealthy family to care after, I just want to be able to make it on my own, especially if I move to the city. My dad failed me growing up, I'm the most masculine role model in my household. I hate myself for it, but I need guidance.
My contingency plan for the last X years has literally been a bullet. I don't really care what I do at this point, I just want to leverage my skills and make a (eventual) living from it.
Sorry for the rant, I'm drunk and looking for any advice. I'm losing my mind staying in front of a screen all day every day. I need some actionable advice.
today I am freshly 18
and for the past few months I've been thinking about getting into trading instead of pursuing a conventional career.
it's something you can do at home, by yourself with very little equipment. i think maybe I could start with paper trading, learning the ins and outs for several months with a few books and videos, I'll avoid any courses or "gurus".
afterwards I could start actually trading, not focusing on monetary returns but just paying attention to percentages, i'd only be trading pennies at this point, so there's no risk of me fucking up majorly.
i'll document, what I do wrong and what I do right and how I can improve. upping the amount of money I put in slowly over time. i think maybe after 3-4 years of this I could become decently profitable and make a living wage and maybe have enough money to put into long term investments?
I'm not looking to be a millionaire, i just want enough to be comfortably independent.
my mother gives me around $15 dollars a week so I do have a tiny bit of an income stream to invest with.
worst case scenario: if I still can't hack it after 4 years of giving it my all I'll still only be 21-22 years old. that's still quite a bit of time to set myself on another path, right?
does this sound silly to you? why or why not? any other advice? Is it a bad idea to try out a book club, when even though I read everyday I'm still extremely stupid and can't make even the most simple re-wording/interpretations of book passages?
That's what it's about, right? You read part of a book, then everyone discusses how they understood it? Is this even a good way to meet new people or is everyone too busy masturbating to their own intelligence? I am posting from the phone because my main account got banned for waifuposting on /tv/.
I can appeal tomorrow. Will the jannies spare me? What do you even say to appeal this? >No girl has ever flirted with me
>No girl has ever asked me out
>No girl has ever displayed a sign of romantic interest in me
Do I just move on and give up? How? I want advice from people that aren’t afraid to go out by themselves. I want to start going places alone like cafes and bookstores and whatever but my anxiety is holding me back. Please tell me how you do it. Met a fella from soc today and we're geographically close so we're going out to dinner Wednesday. Not only have I never met someone from soc before but i've also never been on a real date with a guy. He seems pretty cool i've just never done this before.
How do I prepare and not be nervous or awkward? How do I stop feeling resentment from the past? Is it okay If I can ask if I got the job or not to an employer?
They told me that Ill hear back from them either Monday or Tuesday, but I want confirmation now because I start another job tomorrow just in case I didn’t get this one.
What do I do? I don't want to inquire and come across as a prick. I can't beat the first boss in the Witcher III for years now, how do I do it?
I tried all the Witcher powers and potions, also I'm trying to get through the stage without a shirt on let me know if this is like impossible or you know how to do it? K thanks I(23M)'m adopted, and I dont often think about that, it doesnt matter to me
But I guess I think about it more than a person that's never been adopted
I was wondering, what happens if you're never adopted? I know what happens "legally", but I mean
Where is that people? I know no one thats never been adopted, like "I'm 40, nobody adopted me, but I studied ***. I work at ***",
Like, that people exist, but, where are they? I know they wont have the easiest life or be the cherry of the pie, but they gotta exist. Anyone knows, Idk, for example, a podcast or an interview with an unadopted person?
I have once again spent 4 days without eating any food. I moved in after losing my apartment around 5 months ago with my sisters and somehow assumed we would be sharing food. But she keeps all of it for her in her room leaving me absolutely nothing to eat.
Around a year and a a half ago my parents led me into a weird scheme saying they would bail me out financially if it didn't work. As a result after it failed I lost my job and despite my asking repeatedly they refuse uphold their promise.
Entirely my fault for believing them as I'm pretty sure my family are all psychopaths. I've made many attempts at my life ranging from almost hanging myself when I was 14 after my mother told me to my face she wished she had aborted me, to somehow slicing my wrists at around age 5 while my sister watched with no reaction.
This place being remote I lost access to the therapists I had began seeing due to overwhelming depression resulting in me stopping medication. And I have no idea what to do. I would start dumpster diving but due to not having a phone I can't do it unless it's in broad daylight.
What should I do ? >girl I talked to for only a month randomly messaged today me that I crossed her mind 3 years later
What does it mean? How should i respond? I'm 20 and work at a grocery store and the deli manager is an attractive single milf with a nice booty (she's white fyi) and I've been flirting with her a lot and today at work she told me to come over to her house tomorrow cuz she'll have the place to herself and wants to show me around the hot tub that her ex got her. I have her phone number and snapchat so we can communicate
Obviously I think we're gonna have sex, but I am extremely anxious. I've never had sex before so I really don't know what to expect, and she is older so I'm probably gonna embarrass myself by being way more inexperienced than her.
Also I should I wear swim trunks in the hot tub or don't wear anything? How do I get a girlfriend if I only have a single friend who also has me as his only friend so neither of us know any girls? I’m 18 and feel bad about missing out on dating during my youth. I don’t want to go to college because I am poor and I work at a warehouse with no girls here. Exactly how much do genetics and face / frame / height matter in dating in 2025 and can I overcome this Why is it still considered socially unacceptable to find fictional girls attractive? I made a post on some normie subreddit and once people started digging through my post history they all started to make fun of me for liking cartoon girls. I thought it was becoming more normalized to at least find normal human girls on fiction attractive, but I guess not. For those of you who have learned a new language outside of highschool/college, what was the process like? I'm deciding between French and German but I don't know where is the best place to start is. i make "hip hop" "rap" "trap" beats, but theyre too different to fit in with those genres, while being to similar to them to be seen as alternative or experimental. feel like most of the demographic who will listen to something like that dont have the focus to actually pay attention to what my music is, and are just looking for something to "vibe to" and not actually think about. what can i do? what should i do? go deeper in the experimental weird shit even if its not me, or deeper in the generic hip hop beats even if its not me?
So I'm 19, finishing school in a month. Was only out partying twice in my whole life. I come from a country where shit like partying starts already at the age of 14.
Old friend of mine, told me it will eventually come around. he moved back to Russia, it came around to him.
Other friend of mine (slightly older than me), always out partying on weekends, always ask him if I could tag along, never invited me anywhere. Same goes for former classmates (I changed schools when I was 14).
Mother and grandmother tell me that I'm "different" (that's true) and that some people simply participate in such activities. Tbh, it sounds like the biggest cope to me.
So anyway when I'm done with school and even if I go to university, I highly doubt that my chances of going to parties will rise.
So my question is, will it happen? Will I have the best night of my life someday, or am I destined, to die as a loser like my grandmother tells me?
It pisses me off so much to be honest, I simply cannot imagine working till retirement without having being young once.
I think I'll just going to kill myself someday to be honest. I guess I'll never be truly happy. There's no coming back for me. I'll stick around a few years, until my mom dies, then I'm gonna do it. I'm the guy who found a gray mass from yesterday. So there's good news and bad news. The good news is that it wasn't actually a spider nest on top of a rat corpse. It was literally one of those steel sponges.
The bad news is that it was apparently being used to block a hole in the wall. And I still haven't found a rat corpse even though other people say there's a smell.
Does anyone know the cheapest and easiest way to deal with a hole in the wall/corner? What is the best mobile Android browser with a built-in adblock? I currently use Brave but lately it has been very glitchy so I am thinking about switching. I have been working for awhile for this company. The job is ok but it was really just to get me out of the house and talking to people because i am basically a shut in. I do well at my job and i have learned to relate to people and listen to them instead of just waiting to talk and I just work hard and i have made it clear i will help anyone at work do anything. Anyway they have offered me a posltiion managing a section that grosses 20mil a year. I know that sounds really good but the job pays like 55k which is not really that much considering it's a FUCKTON of work and people breathing down your neck. I know they just want me to do it because they can get me cheap and if i don't wig out I would be good at it.
however i fear i will break under the pressure; i am not sure i can be awake and congenial full time..
what do For context my dad was (and still is) an alcoholic and used me as his personal punching bag for most of my childhood. He constantly bullied me and stole all my money and manipulated me with everything I relied on him for. I fucking lost my mind living with him and started to abuse alcohol and drugs myself and sent him to hospital once and the cops were called once. This is in a pretty respectable suburb in Boston. It was like living in a white trash household. I sorted my life out as soon as I broke away from him.
Now that I’m self sufficient and live on my own he won’t leave me alone. Constantly ringing me, constantly texting me and asking if I want to hang out or go over, and I don’t want to. Should I just block him? He’s an extremely negative piece of shit and I don’t really want to have anything to do with him. Anyone have any advice seducing newly divorced older women in their late 40s? Past few weeks I've been having a lot of days where I have very low energy.
Saw doctor and he was just like sleep better, eat better, get exercise etc and sent me to get blood test.
I'm trying to do all that but I'm skeptical that's the issue because I'm not that bad with any of that in the first place. Since moving to a new city starting a new course 2 months ago I've been more stressed than usual, haven't been eating great nor getting a lot of exercise but it don't think it's so bad to be causing this sort of problem.
Yesterday I tried going for a hike. I was already feeling lightheaded when I started. It was only about 3km but I was really struggling towards the end, felt really out of it and close to collapsing. I don't think this is normal.
Aside from lethargy and lightheadedness I've been having a dull discomfort around my appendix.
I'll be back at the doctor in a few days but I wanted to see if these kinds of symptoms is something anyone recognises? >be me
>m 20y
>mom passed away when i was 10
>just me and dad against the world
>have a great relationship with him, he’s always understanding and have great advice for me

wtf do I even do now?
Hey guys, so I was raped as a toddler and I fear it may have ruined my life. Before you get ahead of yourselves, let me explain.
As short as I can make it, I (adult f) was raped by my biological father and his friends when I was around 5-6, so severly that it left my guts and holes permanently scared and stuck together. This has ruined many aspects of my biological life. Can't shit without pain, can never have sex let alone kids, stomach hurts everyday and I have to have surgery every few years to address constant regrowth of scar tissue, adhesions, Etc.
That I could take, but I am starting to fear this also ruined my life mentally.
While I am somewhat lucky and I barely remember the 'incident', I have been passivly suicidal for most of my life. I am full of anger and despair most days, deeper hate and pity others. I do mask these feelings very well, so much so that annoying, weak people in my life constantly lean on me as their 'rock'. I am tired. Tired of the truths of the world people choose to ignore, tired of weak willed people wanting support despite their incredibly minimal efforts, tired of peoples surface level pathetic self centered advice, all of it. I do not live because what's the worth of a deadwoman's actions? I do not have desires because what's the worth of a husk's wants? Everything I do feels selfish and guilty and I honestly feel like I'm just waiting to die. I've fought it for years with superficial things but I'm tired.
I have very recently developed a terrible alcohol addiction that I am hiding very well, but even this is eating at me for shame of overconsumption and laziness. Any advice on how I could push through it all? Somehow make it out okay?
> and don't give me some shitty self centered advice 'you wish you'd told yourself years ago', actually imagine being fucked so violently as a small 35 pound child that you could never shit, move or fuck again before you type a response.
My girl and I have been together for three years. When we started dating I was introverted and had only had a body count of two. While dating her I came out of my shell more but never really had hookups or casual sex.
Shes working abroad for six months and suggested I take this time to go crazy and sleep with other women before settling down with her in the fall. She says shes completely okay with it and even finds it hot as long as I dont fall in love or date anyone. She has no desire to be with other men so this would only be me seeing other people since as a man I wont get as attached from casual sex.
I was considering breaking up with her because I felt like I was missing out on new experiences but her best friend proposed this as a way for me to get it out of my system while we are apart. Ive never been in any kind of open relationship before and I have no idea how to approach this. I dont want to ruin what we have but I also dont want to always wonder what if… My girl is pretty and smart and nice and hardworking and I know Ill never do better than her since shes pretty doctor and Im an autistic factory worker but Id like to go crazy to get it out of my system but dont want to ruin our relationship. I have to acknowledge the site has an infinite amount of useful information on it, and people do use it to make the quality of their lives exponentially better. For context I've been using YouTube for 13 years and I have never once done anything productive as a result of using this website. I have never managed to use the useful information that YouTube provides. NOT. EVEN. ONCE.
I've used the unhook browser extension to block everything excluding the video I want to watch on YouTube, Iv'e turned my videos to full screen to not get distracted by the comments and video feed aaaaaannnnnndddddd I end up clicking out of full screen and uninstalling the browser extension because it only takes 2 clicks and I have switched to use open source front ends such as invidious to do the exact same thing I've always been doing: wasting time. I don't think YouTube is going to work for me ever. Things you regret / are grieving right now? Is that any better than physical hoarding or collecting hobbies?
I have unlimited backup from google for free so I'm mainly doing it just to feel like I'm screwing them over. As the subject says I used to watch and download WMIF cuck porn and I keep having intrusive thoughts where I run for office and I'm flexing my 4chan usage and my staff sees the cuck porn and I bitch out. >I have failed to form and maintain friendships.
>I have failed to form and maintain romantic relationships.
>I have failed to maintain relationships with family members/relatives.
>I have been deemed too incompetent to have relationships and conversations with other people.
I have no one. I am a social failure. An outcast amongst outcasts, a loser amongst all losers.
No amount of internal validation can replace external validation. How can I legally put a stop to my 78 year old father's 8 month cycle of trading in and financing current year model used vehicles? Every year it's like he's decided it's his life's purpose to own a 2023 Ford Maverick. Then next year, he just CAN'T live a one more day without [current year] [American manufacturer] [vehicle model]. He doesn't even drive to visit family or friends. He drives to Popeye's, the cigarette store drive-thru, and his opiate prescriber.
He does this shit with everything in life. He bought a $1600 set of toolboxes from Harbor Freight and never touched them. He's paid like $2000 for a bunch of chinese no-name ebay tile saws because he saw someone on youtube cut rocks in half. He hasn't touched them. The man lives check-to-check despite maxed out social security and a huge pension. He drains his bank accounts monthly. At what point can I legally claim that he's unfit to make spending decisions? Should I threaten to sue the Ford dealership salesman? here's some advice, post more so you don't get nuked Hi anons. I've been going out with my gf for about 2 months now but we still haven't had sex. With previous partners, it's taken 2-3 attempts before I'm comfortable enough to get hard and lay it down. However we're well past attempt 5 and still no luck. Luckily she's patient with me but it's pretty embarrassing and I'd also like to score :p
I'm admittedly a pretty big coomer in between relationships which probably has something to do with this, but I've looked at hentai probably once in the past 3 weeks and still no luck. I've been working out to boost my T, abstaining from stimulants to help my circulation and meditating in hopes of gaining control of my attention. Nothing has worked.
Any advice? Should I just bite the bullet and purchase blue chews or hims? Please help me learn to sleep on command.
I am a 22-year-old engineering student with the goal of becoming a fiction writer. Recently, I’ve been struggling with my sexuality, fully aware that my doubts stem from my addiction to pornography and an early experience with a male friend.
I feel I should move past these thoughts and hope to one day love a woman who loves me in return. However, another thought troubles me—I don’t want to bring a child into this broken world. This makes the idea of a traditional relationship feel pointless, leading me to question my future.
At the same time, I’ve developed a connection with an 18-year-old guy. While we initially met through mutual attraction, we’ve come to genuinely care for each other. I can’t help but wonder—are we together because of lust, or is true love possible between us? We both see love realistically, valuing companionship over idealized romance, yet I struggle with whether this is right.
I don’t want to be a coward and deny who I am, but I also want to follow God’s will. I know that we all need Him, yet our actions often say otherwise. This paradox leaves me feeling lost, searching for clarity and guidance. i have a little of acne and dry skin, can anyone provide a basic routine for someone who doesn't understand shit about skincare? seeing younger people living your dreams or doing things you could have done hurts in a weird, nostalgic way. i've always wanted to make my own music, even with stuff like concerts, i see singers be so happy, dancing, with people screaming for them, makes me feel so bad. i'm 24 now, ended up studying an engineering degree from my parents pressure and i work an office job part time, even when i have time, i feel i don't. How much money to fix this? Watching Hentai or playing porn games, is better for your head than regular porn? Yeah I know porn is bad and everything but I need to discharge and I not hoping to find a girl at least until next year. Hooker is a option, but I don't want to spend much money on that
>What is /htgwg/?
How to Get Women General is by men, for men, about women, so bring all of your questions about getting and dealing with women here. Some anons on this site actually get laid, and some of those even want to help. If you're trying to meet and date women, then this is the place to ask questions, seek advice, and share experiences. We know how hard it can be. We got you bro.
>What is /htgwg/ not?
These threads are NOT for whining, moping, incels, volcels, MGTOW, hopelessness, or demoralization. We're all aware that meeting and dating women is hard these days, and even harder for some, but /htgwg/ is for men trying to overcome the challenges. IGNORE the posters who complain, have given up, or insist that there's nothing they can do. This site has other boards and threads that they can pollute. BE SMART: Spot the bait, don't reply, and DON'T WASTE TIME ARGUING WITH THEM!
>How to ask for advice
Context is important: be more specific than "This girl ghosted me, why?" We can't help if we don't know the situation, so try to provide as much (useful) info as possible ("I was at the bar, this chick was checking me out..."). What's your relationship with the girl? How long have you known her? Any conversation screenshots? Etc... Don't forget to ask an actual question.

Previous: >>32845475 I've been working 6 1/2 days a week for the past year, and nothing is changing for the better. How can I get rid of my burnout? It's affecting my job performance. How can I learn to be less "autistic"?

I guess it's obvious that I hate my job and want to quit. But I'm feeling nervous about it as it's a lazy and easy gig. However I feel like I'm rotting, I'd be much happier working in the outdoors somehow and have a few fun summer jobs lined up. I live in a very outdoorsy area, too. It also hurts that the starting wage at the gas station is as much as my wage.
Basically, am I crazy for wanting to drop this job. I am unsure of the future and worry that by leaving this cushy job I'm setting myself up for pain later. Maybe I'm being young and dumb but I'm also not that young and worry about job prospects.... But also, my gut says run away. Just looking for perspective. >date bpdemon for 2 years

I can't help but feel like i should go back to her, she's still not over me and seeing her in pain breaks me. But i dont have any reason to break up with current one.
How can i get over the bpd?
Can they change after suffering a breakup? Is it possible to make good money buying clothes I find in a thrift store donation center and then selling them on eBay for like 300% the price?
If my idea is retarded please offer suggestions. I ma failing linear algebra and I desperately need to pass. There is another course with the same professor whose schedule is earlier than mine. I plan to contact the people who are attending that class and convince them to take pictures of their exam and send it to me. I bet their exam schedule is earlier than mine so that's why I want to contact them. The problem is. I can't figure out how to do that. I don't know anyone who is attending that class, I know nothing about them and my university doesn't display who is attending each class publicly.
I also don't want to be retarded and contact each of them to avoid getting snitched on. I tried searching discord groups but I haven't found anyone who attends that class, these serves are either dead or don't allow cheating.
How do I contact these people if I don't have any way to know their names or personal information? What is more attractive: Being thin or a little chubby?
I feel like I really don't care about doing anything in my life. Like, the only things that I do now are working, helping my parents, watching Youtube, revising the same media that I have consumed before and satisfying my basic biological needs like eating or jerking off. I could be satisfied by all that, yet I can't help but feel empty, lost and sometimes frustrated a little bit.
It's just that it's 27th year of my life and I haven't done shit. I don't care about the usual stuff like money, GFs, sex, creating a family, pursuing a career, getting some material shit like a house or a car, but there's nothing else that would ring a bell in me. Hell, I can't even boast about the amount of movies, series, cartoons, anime, vidiya or any other media that I've consumed because my list of these is pretty thin.
In terms of arts, crafts and any other skills and abilities, I have none beside reading things quickly and writing long texts like this OP-post. There were some attempts at drawing and programming but they haven't last very long because my general interest in these things was low. I've read a load about many things that I could do at my home with a computer as well as about many other things, but nothing really made me just go and do this or that. Even as a kid I haven't done anything in particular beside playing with my toys, watching TV, reading books and doodling stuff, so I have no points of reference in my past that I could use now nor do I have any right now.
So what can I even do about? I was supposed to sort this shit in my school years or even earlier, but not now being a grown-ass adult. I want to learn how to play the piano. I just bought one, and I'm currently figuring out where to start. I don't want a teacher, and I would love to learn classical music from the beginning rather than starting with popular songs, as I find them annoying. I don’t know how to read sheet music or anything related to music.
So, if you were learning the piano from scratch without any prior experience, how would you go about it? Do people actually have parties? I haven't had friends since graduating high school (I'm 24 now) and my friends in high school were mostly nerds who never left their rooms.
I was madly in love with a girl I met in high school. She killed herself after a lifelong battle with mental illness & multiple previous attempts. That was in 2020 and I still haven't moved on. I thought time would make things easier but for the past few months I've been consumed by grief. I miss her so much and I can't bear the fact that she will be only a memory for the rest of my life. I've been unable to stop thinking about killing myself as well. Even if I don't get to see her again, at least I won't have to suffer through her absence anymore. The only thing that keeps me alive is knowing how badly it will hurt my loved ones. I have good friends, hobbies, a loving family, yet none of it makes life feel worthwhile.
I don't know what to do with myself. I'm tired of trying to be a man and make something of myself. I just want to go back and relive those 2 years forever. Dating is off the table since I will always compare any potential partner to her so why bother? I hate feeling this way because I can guarantee she would not want me to be stuck in the past with her. She'd be proud of the progress I've made and encourage me to persevere and find some meaning in my life, yet that somehow makes it hurt more. I can't forgive myself for every mistake I made during our relationship. I can't shake the thought that if I was better to her she would still be alive.
I'd really appreciate some advice on how to live with the fact she's gone forever. Of course I've been in therapy, tried many therapists, even tried meds, but nothing has really helped. This recent bout of misery is unbearable and feels like it won't end. How can I remember her without wanting to die? This world is horrible and she was the only thing that ever made me feel human. I don't want to be here anymore, I feel so alone. How to appeal to older men? Ive turned 18 recently and I've never been with anyone. It's a strange request of my heart because Im scared of love, I'm content being alone and love of any kind other than familial makes me uncomfortable, like in movies or in thought. I avoid men but I find the presence of a man twice my age comforting. But i have absolutely zero idea how to show a person I want to be physical with them or even just friendly. My hair is short, I dont wear makeup and I mostly wear pants and a hoodie or a long skirt, I assume that isn't very appealing! What would be a good choice of clothes? Should I try to show skin? I feel like such a freak, sometimes I wish I was actually mute so I had an excuse to be myself, I feel comfortable in myself, but I tend to avoid people and this sudden need to be intimate with someone confuses me I'm here to listen to you, don't get me wrong, I'm not willing to judge you with some sort of moral superiority, I just want to try to help people out of love. Either if you want to vent, if you want to talk with someone, if you want to request prayers or if you want some advice (or why not, if you are curious and have some questions about the Catholic faith and the Church).
It doesn't matter if you are atheists, catholic, muslim or whatever. If you want advice it could be easier if you clarify if you are catholic or not (not out of discrimination, but the sort of advice I could give to someone who's educated in the Catholic faith is pretty different to the one I could give to someone who is not). How do I get back into video games? I feel like I've become so retarded to the point I'm struggling on easy mode playing some I'm either really happy or laid back or really down and anxious. There is never any middle ground. It's not mood swings throughout the day, more like I'll wake up really happy or really sad, it's random which mood it will be, and it will last for the whole day. Is this normal? I feel like I live at extremes emotion-wise. Or is this how it's supposed to be and I'm dumb? I just want there to be some kind of middle ground I seek approval from other people a lot... I've been working on this for a while now, I can avoid it a little... But, deep down, I feel that if there's no one else to approve of, then I don't feel any happiness.
She’s always been a fearful, negative person, constantly worrying about death and diseases, even though she tries to present herself as positive. Now, she has one herself. I tried advising her to change her mindset, stop consuming negative content, and improve her life, but I don't think she listened. She’s never believed in me or supported my dreams either. She even called me a "nerd" and that I'm unpleasant to listen to while enabling my abusive father. Now she wants me to help her, and I’m struggling with it emotionally.
I told her to ask my cousin, who survived a different type of cancer, but I don’t know if that’ll help. She says she has faith and will fight, but deep down, I think she’s just saying that to make me feel better. She never really prioritized herself, which is weird because her siblings sure did. I feel conflicted because I’ve already given her all of my advice, and I can’t shake the anger and frustration I feel. I don’t know how to help or if I even should. What should I do? girl made sexual advances and touched my inner tight and i just started shaking with anxiety like a bitch and killed the mood
why shouldnt i end it tonight Should I quit taking benzodiazepine? I've been on it for years and only take half a mg of klonopin. Is it really something long term that I need to look at. I'm asking because It seems like the only way for me to sleep and I don't want to go through withdrawals. 95% of women dont care if you are unattractive You know how some job applications have that "voluntary information" section?
That section where they ask what race you are, your ethnicity, what gender you are, and whether or not you're a veteran?
Does that have any impact on whether a hiring manager is going to consider my application?
ANY impact at all?
I don't feel empathy through feelings, but for reasoning. I've been refining my pattern analysis, and from there, I've learned to some extent how to please. I think I can't establish deeper relationships beyond those of childhood precisely because of this: without others realizing it, it's as if they don't feel my emotional availability. There's sympathy, but it's hollow and calculated. I, on the other hand, feel the need to have people close to me, but not to fight or worry about them. Deep down, it terrifies me that I don't really have a compass to interact with others. I've been creating mental schemes based on patterns, but whenever a behavior or situation changes, I feel helpless because I can't complement it with that empathetic side, like others do. I can lose shyness, but empathy isn't something you can obtain without being born with the capacity for it. I've also realized over time how important it is for the values and rules of a society to be complemented precisely by feelings and their reflection in others, otherwise they'll be disrespected and we'll simply be unable to live with each other. When ideas clash and debate doesn't reach satisfactory conclusions, all that's left is to combine respect with empathy and not wish ill on others or silence/exclude them for not fitting our vision or the majority's. In my case, I know I can feel any emotion inside me, but if I can't feel spontaneous and genuine happiness for others, then all that's left is what I feel in response to their reactions to what I say or do. If I feel good about it, great, but if it's negative, there's no balance coming from an empathetic perspective: the management of anger or sadness has to be controlled in the worst moments by external forces: music, movies, books, walks, inspiring phrases, etc. My fear is wheter or not there comes a day when all that won´t be enough for me to keep finding enjoyment in living or don´t do some horrible mistake agaisnt someone else and pay for it »»» How do you get addicted to work Im a man and I DO consider myself, really, very manly. But I genuinely suffer daily, or extended angst, because my "material conditions of existence" don't allow me to ,not even TRY OUT FOR, extreme manly lifestyles....
Special unit active-War soldier, SWAT team member\SORT member, or even mma\bluhurt\rugby amateur player. non-violent yet extreme jobs like Underwater Welder, altitude rescue\medicine missions. etc
WTF Am I supposed to do? i changed and suited my whole lifestyle to be manlier: diet, sleep pattern, exercise type, so on.
>inb4 being a rEAl Man is about being a (((householder)))
No. Im Celibate. I’m asexual and every time I have sex it disgusts, but at the same time I really wanna have a lot of children (at least 4), I wanna teach them all I know, be a real parent and all that. How can I learn to enjoy sex or at least not feel disgusted by it? How common is it for people to get into relationships, decide they want children, have children but never get married?
I'm a turboincel but I've come to realise that I don't want the formal process of a marriage. Would it be hard to find a woman that agrees with the same and isn't cooked? None of the guys at my college give off the masculine vibe if you know what I mean. Most of them are skinny timid skellys afraid to even approach a girl. When I even tried talking to some of them they started blushing and stuttering. They're basically women.
Where do I find real masculine men? In this thread we'll discuss how to not only dominate women, but to control them properly.
First rule: Never let women choose, make choices for them so that they follow you with less hesitation.
Second rule: Power perceived is power achieved. You're never weak and everything you achieve is done behind the closed doors. Never let them enter your real world.
Let's talk about these.
This thread is not for weak men who think being kind and funny is a positive trait for sexual attraction. Goes without saying this thread is also not for actual women, fuck off.
>yeah yeah inb4 "humble bragging"
But seriously, I'm a 25yo virgin and the 3 women I've dated in my life have all accused me of being a player or having other women.
>I've been called handsome/fit/chad/ told I should be a model from a few people/ told I could do an onlyfans by both a man and one of the women I went on a date with
Never slept with these women or even kissed them. And 2 of them even came back to me a month later to tell me that they hooked up with another guy.
>Lliterally, when it happened the second time it was like a scary case of deja vu
>When the first girl did it I thought she was just a fucking weirdo, but it happened twice
The thing I noticed is that I never really pushed for sex, I genuinely wanted to get to know these women. With the most recent one
>Who bragged to me that she slept with someone else
>To which I told her she was fucked in the head for going out of her way to do that
The night of our first date I walked her back to her place, I stood outside hers, gave her a hug and said I'll see her again. The next day she said to me in person that it wasn't going to workout and I should just have my fun with my other women
I have had drunk club sluts ask me to eat them out in the toilets but that's just gross as fuck. Had one woman ask me to spit in her mouth Infront of her boyfriend, that was a fucking rough situation as he just looked at me like.he was about to smash my fucking face in.
But the thing is I don't really want to hookup, I wanted a connection, I wanted the relationship that my family members seem to have. Yet the 3 women I've went on a date with all seemed to be pissed at me that I didn't want to hookup on the first night, and then accuse me of having other women no matter how much I denied it. And as I say 2 of the 3 actually went out their way to tell me that they hooked up with another guy... As If to get some weird "get back" on me. Asian community on 4chan, do you consider me one of your own even though I'm Mexican? You point me out as Asian in Mexico.
Also, based on my features, which Asian country do I appear to belong to? Japan? The Philippines? Thailand?
I'm 20 years old and it's always been hard for me to maintain social connections, which was a reason why I haven't had any romantic experience in the past, but am now in a position where if I really tried now could probably get somewhere with a girl. But I don't really know if its even worth the work, because the more I think about it the more superficial romantic relationships seem to me. Maybe I'm just emotionally stupid, but romantic attraction seems like something temporary and that after its gone it's only gonna be work to maintain the relationship just for the sake of being in a relationship.
Worst case scenario you break up and hate each other, best case scenario you both don't really find each other attractive anymore but stay together because you still like each other like normal friends. And honestly why should I even try to get into a romantic relationship if we're just gonna end up friends who fuck from time to time. I might just try it at least once to see for myself, but I don't have too much hope for it. Are my thoughts on this just completely out of touch with reality or are romantic relationships just a scam? >Be friendless loser looking for a job
>Apply to a store that I think will be a pretty good fit for me
>Immediately get surprise invitation to a "video interview" where I have to answer questions on webcam
>Have 72 hours to do it. If I fail at this point, they'll never consider me for the job again.
>Simply cannot. The fact I don't know who will look at it, the fact that they're doing it to "screen me out," is insurmountably dreadful.
After thinking about it, it offends me on a level as deeply as if I were to be blindfolded, told to get on my knees, and then enthusiastically suck an anonymous person off or I'll never even have a chance at getting the job. Am I not fit for this world? What should I do? Everything looks wrong in my life. I don't see my dad since I was eleven and my mom really hate me. I have a lot of friends but I just feel so lonely, nobody really knows me. Just the full of life version, nobody would have really patience to least me and make me feel like everything is ok, that I can be sad sometimes. The word is fucking ending to me and people ask me if i'm crazy when I cry or something like that. What should i do? I go out and have a social circle, people that seem to care about me and invite me to hang out and do things together, but I feel I'm only there as a background actor, I just can't find the opening to have a sincere discussion with anyone, I can't bring myself to talk about the things that I do or the things I like, mostly just listen and do minute commentary, I hate this, I want to be open to people.
I think the mindset this website taught me about 'hiding your powerlevel' ruined my ability to socialize.
Trying to play it cool, but my girlfriend told me today that she's been feeling really sore in the cootch after sex, and all the next day. We have a great and satisfying relationship, like honestly it's been wonderful. She's taking pains to not make it seem like I did anything wrong or am inadequate or something - she just said for a while she wasn't certain if it was my size being too much, not using enough lube or what - but when we've been together longer she's isolated that it is in fact the roughness/intensity/friction of the sex that is doing it.
I don't really know how to respond. I have often had trouble cumming if I am not going fast, but to be honest I had never considered my average pace of sex "rough". To be fair, I had only really had experience with hook-ups, casual situations, and then not very long relationships. Me and my girl have been together a long while now, but I guess I'll have to relearn sex. I barely ever masturbate anymore, maybe 1-2 times a month - sometimes more sometimes a bit less. She had suggested maybe I had the "death grip" problem, which I may have in the past but I'm not sure that's it when I barely ever jerk off anymore.
I trust her and don't want to hurt her at all, so this has kinda blindsided me a bit. She's being very careful and considerate in how she's put it to me, tells me she still wants to have sex but that the constant soreness/pain had been making her avoidant of intimacy lately and she was nervous to bring it up. I'm going to be understanding about it - but it is pretty big change. I don't really know what to do to help, I guess I have to embrace some awkwardness and discomfort going forward and try to work on being able to cum with "gentler" or slower sex. What do you tell yourself when it seems life's becoming more than you can chew? I am becoming 30. I am getting desperate. I feel like I have to catch up with the decades of social retardation, the decades of cynism and defense mechanisms, need to work out my body for months and perform well at college which i'm starting over.
At points it feels like I'm doing this for nothing and I just won't find a woman because of the cultural difference of being raised by the internet and being raised in real life. It feels like pain is the only thing foreseeable in a while. What do you tell yourself to keep going?
