"/adv/ - Advice" is 4chan's board for giving and receiving advice.
To anyone that had a fwb how did you do it? I have a girl that might be interested and we talked about the topic. how do i cope with the fact no one has ever understood me nor will anyone ever god i feel so alone it fucking sucks so much I'm a 33M, I have been on several dates and have had long term relationships before. I've always hoped that I would have found someone in my 20s and develop into a loving marriage by this age but I haven't successfully met anybody yet. My window is closing up and I kind of been struggling with successfully accepting that I may actually die single. How do other anons around my age cope? Is there some kind of activity I should be engaged in to take my mind off of it? Some help is desperately appreciated. Bros there's this really cute cashier who works at a drive thru I go to frequently. How do I go about asking her out without making it weird or awkward? The last time I went it looked like she was avoiding me. How fucked am I at this point? Can I salvage this or am I basically screwed? 30 year old NEET with no work history here I'm going to try to make it in Tech Sales and/or Real Estate Agent. Not sure which one or both at once. I have a semi finished philosophy degree :> For the experience, really. Moderately active 24yo who want to experience what an older person can do. From what I've heard, older people can be a bit unexpected when it comes to their drive. Got me curious about the possibility of it happening. A part of me feels like it would be refreshing. >3 trips to japan

Its so over if i dont fix this. Im too short in my country and im not zoomer enough.
This is my last trip unless something changes i think, its too lonely and disheartening to have zero success where i should have some success atleast. How do i fix this? I've been sticking to mostly dating apps, bumble specifically. Im going on my last trip soon

Ps: i missed you so much /adv/
I've had an epiphany of sorts where I realized the source of so much misery for me the past 6 years since high school is simply feeling like I have to do something or the current thing is what losers do etc.
I don't actually care. I hate people, all interaction even with my own family. So, why should I care about feeling embarrassed to not spend my hours toiling for scraps.
I have tried many times to succeed, it just doesn't happen.

I don't want to keep doing this. I just want to be left alone. Its so hostile out there and I can't click into any group or anything.
I have a girlfriend somehow, so there's my only positive thing. I guess I really just wanna know. After it gets so proven to you that you will not make it out there why is it the shameful thing to withdraw? Isn't it the logical thing to do? Why do women refuse to date you if you haven't had a girlfriend in years?
>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 today, 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.

how and where to start bros? I have about 3 months to live. What the fuck do I do? When 4chan was taken down last week, I was ecstatic with pleasure. I thought I was finally free from this god-forsaken shithole. I was so happy that finally, for better or worse, this place was dead, and I would never be able to access it ever again.
Now it's back. And I feel fucking miserable.
I have a fucking addiction. I cannot physically stop myself from punching in the letters "4chan.org" into my browser. It is genuinely like being a crack cocaine addict and trying to stop yourself from getting your next fix, even when the crack is right in front of you. I just can't fucking do it.
I NEED 4chan to be dead, or else I can't fucking survive anymore. I need this website to be completely and totally shut down, or else I won't be able to function as a human being. I just can't fucking do it anymore.
Please someone tell me how to cope with this. I don't know what to do anymore. I thought the nightmare was over, but it's come back stronger than ever before. So basically i confessed to my best friend of 6 years that i like her and at first she seemed understanding about it she did not see me the same way but it was still fine but then all of sudden she removes me off everything and stops talking to me says that she feels betrayed i used to say she was like a sister to me and she mentioned hoe that was weird now because of the feelings i had but back then those feelings were faint i was trying to stop liking her so we could just be friends but the feelings grew more and more and now shes gone and it doesn't even feel like she cares like i get it she felt weirded out but it's not that serious we are both adults is going into electrical engineering or a similar engineering field as worthless as going into cs in 2025?
t. 22 year old tech obsessed hikki thinking about trying to go to college and hopefully get a more physical job in one of the engineering fields (so i cant be replaced by rajeesh, monica the single mother, and CoPilot) Is it okay to settle for a woman in her 30s if girls your age are too immature for long term relationships? How do I organize my life? I’m a complete autist, and I struggle to balance time with watching movies, doing schoolwork, going to my girlfriend’s house, etc. It’s really overwhelming. Do people go to grocery stores just to write down the price of the food they want to buy, leave, and go home to compare the prices in a spreadsheet or list them all out on a document? I literally went on khan academy to learn how to compare prices so I mean I gotta save right? While we were playing a drinking game we had to say what hair colour we find most attractive in someone, my bf said red hair even though I have black hair. Everyone else said the same colour that there bf/gf has. Thoughts? Anons who were or are in the military, would you recommend an 18 yr to join the armed forces? I don’t necessarily crave a comfortable life nor a high paying job (I’m frugal and don’t intend on taking up dependents), but I suppose I want to experience reality and have seen some interesting things before I die. Will the marines just march me around and order me to do stupid shit or does the job extend beyond that?
As for my credentials, I'm physically fit, not a bad shot, and fairly self-discipled when I get my shit together. I literally can't work. Like it feels like torture. How do I avoid homelessness? Alright, so I got her number off tinder after having a bit of small talk. Now what?
I havent seen an escort/prostitute in over a year. Over that year i have dealt with a lot of stress and bullshit and obviously zero luck with women. In the past women pissed me off sure but this is like a totally different level of anger and hate. I dont want to talk to them, i dont see myself as part of humanity, i view myself as subhuman. My self esteem is near zero now and i just view myself so poorly and so disgustingly i dont want to associate with women at all. If i could put it bluntly, i view myself as worse than rape. I dont even really want to go out and socialize either. I just want to stay inside and be angry because i view society as rejecting me.
The biggest issue i have with prostitutes is how ungodly fucking expensive they are. For the price of two i took a MONTH LONG vacation through northern europe. Not costa rico, not SEA. Expensive first world nations. After that the cost of them actually makes me feel ill. I also still have a part of me that wants to experience a relationship and go on a first date even though i am nearly 30. And even though i have everything against me on this, i just hope somehow ill get super lucky. Hard for me to do considering i now see spending any time with a reasonably attractive woman as equal to $600/hr. I dont believe i have nearly enough to offer to compensate if that is how expensive physical touch from a woman is worth.
Anyone here quit seeing them but also is a LONG ways away from being dateable? Should i just suck it up and push through it or tank these ridiculous prices so i can feel human for the next six months? I dont want to travel super far because of various things in my life making going to say, thailand, difficult. I fucking hate small talk. It's my biggest pet peeve.
Help? Is joining the Army that bad as people say it is?
I plan on talking to a recruiter to see the process, I already picked out a non-combat job (Human resources)
I have my reasons for joining, mainly because I can't find a job, I just keep getting tons of rejections and ghosting, plus going to college would be nice, and I would like to throw my luck in with the army and see how that goes. i read the vast majority of people don't see combat but the work environment is awful
Any thoughts on this? >jerk off for an hour straight
>not even close to cumming
>think of my piece of shit and cheating ex
>imagine me fucking her
>cum within a minute
Guys how do I stop this? It was a terrible break up for me and I want to move on after what she did. Do I really need to give up masturbation altogether? Thinking about her always ruins my day. Can anyone give me advice on becoming a patent agent?
Is it a good career? is the test difficult?
please help me I just want to have a stable life. I have been a NEET for roughly 4 years after graduating university. I feel so lost idk my penis is only 4.8 inches
is it over? I'm an alright looking dude who's never had any issues talking with women but I'm incredibly insecure about taking any relationship to the next level. Through out my life I had undiagnosed adhd and am mildly autistic, had a few friends until I moved into a new area for middle and high school. I was a weirdo, I preferred being alone and never bothered trying to fit in. So I never really developed social skills nor felt any need for connection.
I am in my second year of college and I still don't have any friends. I joined clubs, had roommates, I was friendly with them and exchanged numbers, but that was it. After we parted ways we never talked again. Most of the time I felt it was one sided since I was the one reaching out and I still felt like that person you just talk to out of pity.
I do want connections, but it just feels like to me every interaction I have is superficial and that I would come off as that annoying clingy guy if I try to pursue others.
My best friend of 4 years hates me now for basically no reason.
I was throwing an army/navy themed party because I'm obsessed with wearing cute sailor outfits and wanted to hang out with autistic people dressed in camo. The party was supposed to be a house show so my best friend/roommate's band and my other friend's band could play. But she refused to participate in anyway: the sound (she has the equipment and no venue to use it for), her band playing, or even just drawing the flyer. I told her I am going to throw this regardless if she can play but obviously I want her to. She still refused with no explanation. But my other roommate who I was throwing the party with was excited, so we just went ahead and asked a different person who has all the sound stuff to help us.
When the very innocuous flyer [it had derpy hooves in a naval captain hat and osaka wearing an army helmet on it (like they weren't even dressed in ss uniforms or anything though that would have looked awesome)] was posted all hell broke loose. People were so mad and virtue signaling like CRAZY in the comments. Calling it "larping as war criminals" and "ragebait" and accusing us of being "nazis" and telling us to "go die". Which is fine, whatever, I didn't want those people coming anyways. But it got so much hate the whole thing had to be cancelled because these people were dming the bands yelling at them for participating.
Anyways, long story short, my so called best friend won't talk to me at all anymore. She won't pick up my calls. She won't come to the house if she knows I'm home. She deleted all the photos with me from her instagram. She's been staying with her other friends who have been shit talking me on their instagram stories. She skips the class we have together.
We're 2 weeks from graduation and have been best friends throughout uni. How do I reconcile with her? Do I just lose the friendship or do I do something? What do I even do? This is such nothing burger middle schooler drama. I've never been on onlyfans, if a girl has an onlyfans is it safe to assume she is doing porn? I know they say not all the content is porn but that's just PR right?
18f i know this post is really corny to post here but i really can't stop thinking about him and he's a venezuelan stripper man whore he's literally a fucking stripper and didn't tell me but i can't stop thinking about him. he's the most interesting guy i've ever met and he's beautiful and he's just like me but in male form i just wish he didn't have so many fucking female friends. i feel like he wants to get back with me too but neither of us want to be together because i'm fucking crazy and he's a whore so idk what to do. we r still friends btw but i think im more in love with him then he is with me, but he flirts with me occasionally so idk. i've tried talking to other guys since him but nobody really matches up in interests or attractiveness . what should i do
other things he does that pisses me off:
-he scams gay guys and sugar mommas
-went to prison briefly without telling me
-flirts with other girls infront of me
-will randomly ghost me a few days
pros:
-he's really hot
-lots of things in common
-nig nick
-he hates jews
-he treats me semiwell (atleast better than most of the white faggots that try to get with me) Anyone have any really good ideas on how I can make some good immediate cash?
Don't say get a job, cause I'm already applying for jobs. Oh hello.
I am the person who asks for advice on how to make friends, if you could answer the following:
How do I get a person/people to stop harassing or bullying me?
since that person even stalks my social media profiles, along with his friends, because of what happened in the above that I explained and also, they spy on me at university and bother me on outings with trivial things or about my condition, since I have a chronic anxiety disorder.
Although they do respond to me by accusing them to the director, it did help a little but they continued doing it.
Drawing recreated from an image I saw a few days ago* I got a hospital bill since it was below my healthcare insurance's deductible ($5,000)
I'm planning to just not pay. Will my insurance premiums go up? I'm pretty disgusted with myself. I'm 24 F and when my parents died I got lots of inheritance money and sold their cars because I don't have a licence and I didn't want to stay at home because everything there reminded me of them so I lived in a hotel for 4 months. I also quit my shitty retail job. I did lots of drugs (mostly speed), drank a lot and fucked tones of men, mostly other hotel guests I met in the hotel restaurant or hotel swimming pool because I hardly ever left the hotel. Didn't ask them but I'm pretty sure some of them were married. Finally I decided to go back to real life because my money was running out quickly and I was feeling increasingly suicidal. Now it's almost half a year later, I've got a new shitty retail job and I live in my own house but I don't know how to find a bf now and what to tell him when he asks me what did I do after my parents' death.
Does it make sense to even try?
My parents are pretty well off. I've always hated receiving gifts, so I haven't taken any from them since I finished my undergrad degree at a public university I went to on a scholarship. I'm fairly successful (late 20's, make slightly over $100k, and have been able to easily afford my hobbies/interests while saving a good amount of $). My sister has, from everything my parents have told me, taken way more $ from them than I have, likely close to $200k from going to a more expensive school and having them bankroll a lavish wedding.
I was accepted into a pretty highly ranked grad school program, but it's ludicrously expensive. I can afford it with tuition reimbursement from my employer, but considering the back taxes I either need to live in the ghetto, get roommates, have 0 hobbies that cost $ until I graduate, or put a huge dent in my savings.
Both my parents work in banking or finance so I talk to them about investments & the like regularly. I was talking to them about my predicament. They have offered to help me out on numerous occasions before and after I mentioned it since they want to help me to live a good life & know my sister has taken a lot more $ while doing shit they hated, but I just keep refusing it. I feel so pathetic taking a handout, even though I know they want to help & I know I'll just be suffering for the sake of suffering & to say that I didn't accept any financial help from them since i was a kid.
How can I get over myself? I am 20 years old and it is very difficult for me to continue with my life, since they began to bother and harass me, having depression and social anxiety, having trichotillomania and not being understood by my family and having almost no friends, I no longer know what to do... Now it is difficult for me to do the things that I like and I no longer enjoy them, nor do them, before I liked to study and I was the "smart one", but it is now difficult for me to continue with school, I no longer want to go because they bother me or make fun of me for vomiting all the time (this arose from bullying and wanting to make friends) what should i do? Should I motivate myself and learn new things? Or continue sleeping and living an empty life? In a way I identify with Satou from the manga A Happy Sugar Life, since the only thing that keeps me hopeful is the person I love. I don't know how to make friends, I wanted to make friends with someone from college and just for conversation I gave her my drawing blog, but she went with her friend to give it to her advisor saying that it bothered and made them uncomfortable, then a person on social media bothered that person because they did that to me to the point that they fired her, the matter escalated so much until they got my address from I don't know where and they went to bother me and make fun of me at school, in the end they told me that what they did to me was harassment and bullying and the truth is I want to know how to make friends, since I always encourage myself to do it but they see me strange, even if it's just a coincidence. I'm a 25 year old virgin and I have no idea what to do with my life. Should I harass women at nightclubs? What do you do when a woman gives you hints to ask her out, (like meeting her mother, father and children) but like an idiot you dont make a move because you werent paying attention and you didnt ask her out when you had a chance? Now she doesnt call you anymore, when she was calling you almost everyday for about 3 weeks. How do i go about indoctrinating bf to be on the same level as freak as me, i tell him to keep going even tho it hurts and he won’t, i tell him to fit me harder and he is too worried about leaving marks. Ergggg idk what to do, he’s my dream guy but i feel like he’s too scared to match my freak. How do i go about desensitizing him to more violent/controlling stuff. >Be older millenial wagie

Is it too late for a 35 year old anon to try and move on from wagiedom to a career?
I just want enough money to help more cats. Which is the best way to hide you have asperger/high functioning autism as a man?
Let’s take I already dress well, never play video games or associate with “nerd” culture and i try to hide my special interests even to friends. I also try to avoid gatherings unless i’m with people i know or they’re focus oriented. Can you give me more ideas? I bet more of the ideas you give are things I’ve already developed through my life experience but maybe we get something new. I'm been spending 8 to 10 hours on site as a manager (glorified customer service rep) for 5 to SIX (!!!) times a week. I can't do this anymore. This is my first job out of university and I've been here only 6 months, but I'm burning out lads. Is there anyway in hell I can get a job in tech so I'm hybrid? Is there anything I can do in the few hours of spare time that I have? I need a solution really bad.
I have math degree which I've heard is "tech-adjacent". Should I do projects? Leetcode? Leverage my managerial experience? Anyone been in my position before? Any general steps I should take? I would really REALLY appreciate any insight you guys have >get horny
>jack off
>orgasm and feel good for a few seconds
>get hit with post nut clarity and realize how stupid women and sex are
>life is pretty peaceful
>few hours pass
>get horny again
Is it even possible to break this cycle? My girlfriend is pregnant.
We didn't plan this
She would like to keep it but I don't
I don't want the rest of my life being locked down to only focusing on reading a kid.
I am scared of fomo if we abort it but I'm even more scared of regret if we don't
Help me I can't really imagine either option well enough and obviously have zero experience I am 16, recently got my latest "SAT" score (I am Brazilian so It's ENEM, but I am gonna say SAT) and I am officially able to enter in any university (best med school for free) in the entire country and I havent ended high school yet. People clapped and cheered on me, but I know something is wrong.
Either I can follow a 125 QI lifestyle and perform well on any midwit task, or I can forget my studies (not like I have been studying for the past three years in HS, slept on half of the classes) and apply myself on something greater.
Instead of a great business uni here in Brazil, I can try to study abroad or to abdicate my studies and focus 100% on learning business-related skills (focusing on oratory rn).
Should I just live normally and be applauded by midwits (become one of them)?
Try to study business abroad?
Forget uni and focus 100% on learning exclusively on practical money making skills?
So, I've fucked up my life so far and I want to know how do I get back on track
I'm 22 M and will be turning 23 this year. I dropped out of UNI last year. I have a history of depression from adolescence and haven't been able to deal with it. I was on medication for a while and also used to cut myself but stopped for now. I tried to get back into unis and use this year to apply to other UNIS in Europe but I fucked up and missed the deadlines for most of them. There aren't a lot of opportunities outside of UNI in my country so not getting an education will really hurt my chances in life. I don't have even the slightest sense of discipline. I live with my parents and don't do anything for the whole day, I rot and play video games and that's about it. I feel like a failure all the time and I want to fix it but I genuinely don't know where to start. All of my old friends are already finishing unis and some are even getting married, they're all moving on with their lives meanwhile I've failed at everything.
I have no friends and no social life, just rotting in bed. I don't know what to do so I came here
Any help is appreciated.. >23
>Zero work experience
>Zero education
>Spent my youth NEETing
Do I have any chance at future employment? I am beginning to study computer science, but that's just because it's most compatible with my lifestyle.
I don't really know what I want to do or what would make me happy.
And I'm worried that when I'm ready to go out and start working no one will take a chance on a loser like me. How can I go from virgin to chad unironically ?
I know I’m a bit autistic and short but I just wanna have my fun with Uni aged chicks before I settle down with the one
But they aren’t really interested in me. I’m neet so I have all the time in the world to improve
Any tips? is it worth becoming an incel in 2025? has it worked out well for any of you? How do people in your life react when you tell them you are now an incel? do you get any benefits or discounts or anything? Would you honestly recommend it? Recently I've been in a super dark place and I'm struggling to get out of it. I keep a healthy lifestyle, I eat clean, go to the gym, have a good job, talk to friends and family, while I also have hobbies but nothing is working. Everything feels like a chore ,it feels like nothing in life is going right or good and little things are setting me off/getting to me more. Talking to friends/family doesn't help because they don't know how to respond when I feel like shit. I tried keeping my normal routine but it just felt like too much and made me feel worse. Because of that I took a break from everything and I've just been rotting in my room all weekend. I've tried therapy in the past but after one or two sessions they try and push anti-depressants on me. Started feeling this way after I went to a friend's wedding a week or two ago. I'm happy for him but it brought up tfw no gf. Usually I can shake this feeling by now but this one's been lasting longer than usual I feel like I'm constantly selfish. When I talk to someone, I feel like I'm doing it for myself and that I don't care about the other person, while I'm doing everything else at the same time, and thinking like that makes me feel even more selfish. And if I talk about it to those around me, I'll feel like I'm trying to attract pity and be even more selfish. From time to time, I wonder if I'm a narcissistic pervert, but I can't figure it out. It makes me feel disgusted with myself. Any advice? >33

How do I get out of this? I've literally just played video games since dropping out of high school when I was 15. It was pretty fun but my parents' money is running out.

I see the pumpkin every day when I bend down to get pants out of my drawer, so this mold popped up recently. I've disposed of the pumpkin, but it stuck to the carpet a little when I took it off. There is no visible residue on the carpet, but I'm worried that mold is gonna start popping up in that spot soon. It is near my bed so I've begun the process of disinfecting my bedsheets, but is there any preventative action I can do to my carpet to keep mold from popping up? i’m an 18 year old girl. i’m socially inept, probably retarded, and i can’t make friends.
yeah, i know 4chan isn’t the best place to get social advice, but i have no other options.
to give you an idea of my situation, about a week ago, i spent the entirety of english class hyping myself up to compliment a girl’s sweater. she looked at me like i was crazy and barely mumbled a thanks. i went home and cried myself to sleep.
my grades are fine, but all of my teachers give me poor collaboration marks because i have this phobia of people.
The only person outside of my family i’ve been able to talk to was a man nearly triple my age, who i recently blocked because i’m stupid and jealous.
i don’t want to be some loser femcel or whatever the fuck they’re called. i want friends or a boyfriend or something. I'm currently trying to get over a girl but I'm beginning to feel that this method I'm currently using will not offer me true freedom. What do? Am I supposed to feel retarded when I study? Even if I end up doing great on the exam, all I can think of while studying is "this shit is impossible for me, there's no way I will remember any of this after the exam, I should give up and pursue something simpler"
My major is in chemistry if that matters >be me, 31 yo virgin who lives with his mom
>decide to go back to college and actually finish this time
>during the semester apply for a study abroad program
>to my surprise actually get in
>will be spending 3 weeks in another country in a dorm room provided by the foreign university
this is gonna sound silly but how can i avoid masturbation while there? I'm so used to being able to fap whenever i want and in the past like year i went from not fapping that much to fapping A LOT. i honestly didnt think about this before applying First off, I have autism so getting one is impossible. I need to find a way around this problem. https://soundcloud.com/ryan-westbrook-929064669/when-i-lay-in-my-bed-i-fall-asleep-and-dream-of-u-raw-demo
Need feedback on this please thanks boys
I'm 29. Spent 10 years being a "NEET" (pretending to go to college, basically the welcome to NHK guy without the girl).
My brain feels fried, health is screwed. I've been employed for 2 years now as a help desk guy and now wish to fix my life.
I've daydreamed my way through the equivalent of high school and then just screwed around, giving up every time I'd start something, eventually I stopped starting altogether. I don't remember anything and my memory is poor, roth memorization was never something I could do.
Now I wish to acquire general knowledge that "men should know" and somehow unfuck my brain.
I've considered picking up some elementary and highschool books on math, physics, chemistry and biology as these would probably give me a decent foundation. To an extent where I know which chemicals to use for safe cleaning, how to not get electrocuted swapping a light fixture or an electric socket and stuff like that.
Then move onto some higher level electronics knowledge if possible.
I plan to get a CCNA or a basic IT engineering degree at some point down the road if the EU doesn't start WW3. The issue is after a decade of pretending and failing at everything I no longer trust my ability to learn.
Thanks to the job I lucked into I can now manage talking to people and make phone calls, emails competently.
It sounds like nothing, but I've seen a huge improvement in my ability to interact with the world around me in the past 2 years.
If I get some refresher driving lessons and probably a car I might even pass as an adult now.
TL:DR; I would like some advice on restoring my ability to learn, to acquire general "common" knowledge in a timely manner and to slowly work towards more specialized skills. All this after a good decade of rotting away.
Thanks. What are some useful AI editing tools to make quick edits fast and simple to save time?
Do you know anything like Microsoft Designer. I like it but it's slow and crushes too much. Reccomend me anything that is useful for editing.
Together for 10+ years and my wife cannot do ANY task to completion on her own. Either she half asses it(not on purpose) or she asks for help. What pisses me off is she acts like a child but if i treat her like one she gets angry, if she was just cute and grateful i wouldn't mind.
Its gotten to the point where i just do all the chores and cooking. I can clean in the house in 3 hours which would take her several days.
I feel like a 1950's housewife complaining about her husband.
It can be anything. Coming home from somewhere? oh she did not bring her key and she needs help grabbing her bag from her car. Making coffee? Oh she forgot where the coffee filters are. Playing a game? The simple tutorial will fly way over her head. Sitting on the couch and cannot find her phone or the remotes which she just used, better call for help.
Taking the garbage out? She will take the bag to the front door, both not taking it out and not replacing the bag.
Doing the dishes? She will take all the clean dishes and put them on the counter to dry, never putting them away.
Cooking anything? She will leave ingredients out that need to go back in the fridge, while making a child like mess on the counter. This is after calling me several times to either help her or find something.
Vacuuming? Oh the filter is clogged, i better ask for help.
Cat litter or feeding the cats? well thats complicated so she just stays away from it. Feeding or cleaning the fish? same thing.
All of these are fine, but when you compound it during the day i have to help her with something every 20 minutes. It began as a “cute” and “eccentric” form of affection. One morning I was grabbing shirt from closet and I took too long and she said “are you retarded my cracker” in an Obama impression.
I feel belittled and disrespected
Am I wrong to feel this way?
I matched with a woman on Bumble with no pictures below chest level but she had a pretty face and I was feeling bored and lonely so I went on a date with her anyway. So when I met her I saw she is a bit fat, she's 5'5 and if I had to guess around 200lbs? I've attached an image of roughly her body shape although her tummy was a lil bit bigger. Tbh if she looked like my attached image I wouldn't be making this post i'd be seeing her again but she was a bit shorter and a bit heavier. Part of the problem is she doesn't have any full body images on her profile so I'm just going off my memory of the date and I didn't get that many chances to look at her as we were walking side by side or with her behind me. The date went well, she was really nice and chill and she told me to msg her if I wanted but I can't decide if I should see her again. On her profile she put she wants a long term relationship but to be blunt I wouldn't want to commit to her but maybe I'd be down for casual fun. I don't want to offend her but what should I say? I'm tempted to ask her if she wants to netflix and chill but then she might turn up and i'll change my mind when I see her body. I know fat women hate being asked for full body pics so I doubt that'll happen.
Any advice?
Before anyone says she won't agree to short term stuff because her profile says long term only: my current fwb had her profile set to only "long term" or "life partner". Tbh she was such a kind person if she just lost some weight she'd be such a good gf.

Previously on ATOGA: >>32981189 Is this normal? Because she goes very intolerant. Does sex feel better than jacking off? Anyone have any luck here just dming girls directly on social media (as opposed to dating apps)? Doing this now and have convo with pic related but it’s usually the uglier girls who respond (and no, I’m not ugly myself).
I consider myself on the asexual spectrum. I dont particularly feel much attraction towards men or women but i am very VERY much aware that being able to get into a relationship with one is seen as a status symbol and if you cant theres something seriously wrong with you.
Whenever i hear some dude tell me "i fucked so and so" or "i hooked up with" it pisses me off. Yeah that guy is cringe and sounds like a fucking knob but at the same time, anyone who says i cant get laid, is correct. I cant. Im not aromantic with women so i have tried to get into relationships before but i just flunk out entirely, get nowhere, just bomb hard. It makes me feel like a total failure and someone who is inferior to the men who can. If you can even get one girlfriend in your entire life you are immediately seen as better than me despite whatever you do. Because its not something you can control, you cant control if a woman likes you or why she does. Its why it hurts harder than being called "broke" or "weird" or "out of shape". All of those you can fix. But women being attracted to you? Thats so so much harder to fix. It is the total combination of your entire worth as a human being and its being thrown in the trash. Every person who has struggled with this has been judged by hundreds if not thousands of women in their life time and were told "no..not good enough". Keep in mind the most common cause of death for women outside of disease is her partner and theres an army of single moms raising the offspring of felons, rapist, pedophiles and other degens. That means they all say those people as better than me. Objectively, better than me in the eyes of women.
This has caused me to have a LOT of hate towards women and further hate towards myself. Is a mans worth tied to his ability to attract a woman? And if so how do i even live with it? the deadline for applying to law school is tomorrow, and i don't think he's going to make it. he only took the LSAT a few days ago and he won't be getting the results back in time, and he doesn't have any letters of recommendation either. i don't think he's realized yet. he's been studying hard for months and is motivated, so realizing that it's too late is going to crush him. what should i do? >be me

What’s the quickest way to kill myself? I’ve been trying to keep my hopes up but the road seems dark. I don't know what to do, literally everything I have to do, I start to get anxious because I think in every possibility of something going wrong or right, or right but not the way I wanted, or wrong but better than I though, what do I do? I have been on two 5-6 hour dates with a girl and we are texting nonstop. We haven’t had sex yet, but kissed a lot and other physical affection. Problem is she lives and hour and a half away and is super busy (student balancing multiple part time jobs this is not an excuse I have seen her schedule). What advice do Yall have? I'm about to start medical school and I just got a home, it's very nice and has a nice big kitchen and a couple bedrooms. I want to find a wife that can live with me and cook and eventually raise children and perform other wifely duties. My cousin who is the same age as me already found a wife somehow. I don't get how I can do the same. how tf can i find a wife? what is a legitimate and entirely legal way for someone who is going to be unemployed for the rest of their life to make a living? enough to have a small non section 8 apartment with a reasonably stocked fridge and all bills paid mostly on time I would like to get a min wage job that doesn't have any requirements and is temporary (not more than 2 months or so). I want the min wage income for 2 months so I can purchase something. I do have issues, (diagnosed mental illness) construction isn't an option for me because of it, and bartendering isn't either. I would like an isolated job that I can do considering my issues. Can I get a recommendation? Also I don't have a hs degree, I don't know if that matters for these jobs. I would be extremely happy if I could get an online job suggestion but anything works.
And maybe off topic, do online jobs like this exist? Boring data entry jobs that anyone can do from home for minimum wage? Or am I hoping for something that's not real? Taking into consideration I don't have a hs degree yet (and maybe worse that I go to special education, it will be obvious if I have to submit documents for the years I did graduate), but I'm still in high school. I am a grown ass 25-year-old who doesn't know how to cook anything.
Parents used to cook for me until they stopped, so I transitioned to fast food. My breakfast consists of sandwiches and tea, my lunch consists of a heavy meal with soda (burger+fries, rice bowl+chicken, steak, etc.), and beyond that I just eat snacks or dessert.
I picked up a cookbook for "teens" which has over 150(I think?) recipes for the most common foods (boiled eggs, omelet, rice bowls, pasta, chicken, fish, some dessert dishes, etc.)
I also picked up a food scale to hopefully start tracking my caloric intake and lose weight.
The only thing left is to pick 1-3 breakfast recipes, 1-3 lunch recipes, and some low calorie snacks, and to start creating a shopping list, buy the ingredients, and somehow manage to cook it all correctly and track the calories but I feel like I am gonna fuck it up.
What to do? I can't even get an interview. Just tell me what are the common reasons this happens. I get an erection and precum whenever the girl I'm courting answers me flirting with another flirt. We haven't had a date yet but I'm worried cause she wants to cuddle and I don't wanna make it weird. Okay /adv/

assume i have nothing of value to sell.
any advice would be greatly appreciated. Would having my gf do NSFW voice acting be profitable and a good idea? We randomly joked about her doing it since she’s really good at voices and shit. Not sure if it would be worth it in the long run and have no idea where to start if so My retard boomer dad will sperg the fuck out at the mere insinuation of me getting a job somewhere else because then he will have to get an actual employee for his shitty small town business that he won't be able to underpay and overwork. Like I mean actual legendary five stages of grief tier spergout with insults, threats, negotiating, emotional blackmail literally anything just so I keep working for him.
I've already decided a while ago I'm bailing tf out of here, I bullshitted my way into convincing him me getting some extra qualification will be good for the business but I'm only getting that since it will enable me to land some posts with housing included and better pay. But obviously once I do that there's no coming back here.
So I guess my question is what are the things I should be taking with me? If I forget something here I won't be able to get it back. Should I first change my address so my mail doesn't end up here?
I work at a casino, I’m a dealer. Mostly roulette and blackjack but I got a few other games. My day consists of taking money from drunk gambling addicts and making sure to entertain them while I do it. It’s fun, pays well too, but I always feel like I’m the bad guy.
Today there was a dude that was on a pretty nasty loosing streak at my table. I felt bad for him. I don’t mind taking money from tourists or rich assholes but a normal dude 1500 in the hole from betting table minimum with several friends and his GF telling him he should walk away kinda got to me. After he pushed a good hand I told him he’s having bad luck and should try another table to something. His friends and GF thanked me after he got up with what little was left of his chips but my boss told me I should never say something like that (for obvious reasons admittedly)
I didn’t get in trouble or anything but it highlights the moral issues this job has. I’m a religious person and I don’t really gamble much. When I see gambling addicts blowing money they don’t have I feel like a piece of shit, it’s made worse by the fact I can’t say or do anything to help them and should actively encourage them to keep going.
I don’t know how to reconcile this. I’m making more money here than I can anywhere else in the area and the job is legitimately fun most of the time, when I’m dealing with casual gamblers blowing a few hundred on a fun night or rich bastards throwing 5 grand they made an hour ago at a game they’ll be playing again tomorrow. But when it’s bad I feel like a godless bastard.
I bought some cheap land and was about to buy a prefab house to build it, but after thinking about it, I realized this is not what I've dreamed or exactly what I wanted, and will be like 2x as expensive as I expected. I mean, the house itself is nice on paper, but the land is kinda crap, smaller than what I expected, has an annoying slope and there are some details about the construction of the house that make me uneasy.
The thing is that I've wasted a lot of time (more than 6 months) "thinking" about this, I even told a friend (who is a constructor) I'd hire him, yet I'm still unsure about this all.
I wish I had someone else to ask for opinions or, even better, for advice on what to do and, most importantly, what NOT to do, but I have no one knowledgeable/experienced around me. My close friends are retarded. Even this friend is fucking stupid. He only knows how to build shit but has no clue how to build shit for humans.
Who the fuck should I ask about it? An architect? If so, how do I find a good architect?
Also, my main problem is psychological: I'm cheap. I fucking hate spending money. And as I said, I expected this to be far cheaper than it will be. This means that if I ever have to adapt my plan, things might get out of hand and I might end up spending a TON of money...
Should I just buy something smaller and cheaper? Should I drop the plan and start over? WTF should I do? Why are money and adulthood so shit? ;_;
Pic unrelated (kind of)
I've suspected for many years I may have asperger's or something. Here's the evidence:
>Struggles in social situations. I generally find people uninteresting, and I have no idea how to interface with the ones that attract me. I only have online friends and generally avoid leaving the comfort of my home. Eye contact is uncomfortable for me but I tend to force it so that I don't seem impolite.
>Possible fidgeting / stimming? When my hands aren't on a controller or a cell phone, I will bounce my leg, sway side to side when standing up, graze my hand across my knuckles repeatedly, or tap things as if they were drums. Sleep can sometimes be challenging because I roll around and move my legs a lot. People have noted I have a tendency to hum or sing as well.
>Obsessive interests. Right now it's pokemon. I'm trying to make my glorious king probopass viable in the tcg and I got a platinum rom because sinnoh is my favorite region. I bother my friends asking them their favorite pikachu clone and regional bird and fossil pokemon and so on. Marvel rivals made me obsess with marvel slop for a while but it's dying down now. I had a thing for dinosaurs. Jojo's been my fascination for years and I gladly jump at the opportunity to yap about it, most of my music taste was inspired by it. When I'm interested in something I will collect every drop of information on it that I can.
>Restricted diet, possibly ARFID, which is commonly associated with autism. I have not ate a single fruit or vegetable since early childhood. My mother says I have a "kindergarten palate." No sauces, no drinks except water and rarely soda, no spices.
>AGP paraphilias which seem to be common in autistic men
>Oh also I'm on 4chan my senile landlady had my doves seized. I have a license for them. I have no reason to live outside of my birds but especially this one. I spent all day trying to get somewhere else to live but no responses. I'm going to be homeless and she took my only friends away. there is no reason to live. I keep trying to get my family of doves back but she actively makes fun of me and calls them disgusting. I can't live here. those birds are more important than her. I have 5 days to find a new place and save my birds. fucking help, Anons. I just keep posting ads but nothing is working. I'm ready to kms im from iraq, and im a digital artist, i have been using boosty/hipolink for payments and frankly im very unsatisfied with these services. i tried looking for others that work and accepts my bank information's, but i cant find any.
im willing to offer any ids/passport and KYC info any site would need, as long as it works.
i would prefer not having my irl name visible [for obvious reasons, im a woman.]
but at this point i wouldnt mind having that visible if the service works.
if you have any info, or ideas please let me know. I need help to stop biting my nails, I never used a nail clipper and I have severe OCD. I'll bite a nail on my foot and it will have a piece of it that didn't leave it, so when I pluck it out it'll bleed and it will hurt to walk for a day. And I don't want my girlfriend to think I'm really weird if she sees it. So I've never dated much because I'm exclusively attracted to older women. Always have been. Unfortunately most 40+ year old women don't want to date a guy in his 20's so I haven't had much luck. I stopped trying to date when I was 25. It's been 10 years now and I'm ready to try again now that our ages are closer. Do you think I'll have better luck? Or will my inexperience be a huge turnoff to these women? So I'm a lesbian. My best friend is a guy, we play video games together when we don't have classes.
We ended up playing really late a few weeks ago, and I fell asleep leaning on him bc he's warm. It was the comfiest nap I have ever had.
When I woke up, he had an erection and I freaked out because it was really gross for him to let that happen and he kept acting like it wasn't his fault so I left.
I want to hang out with him, but I'm scared he'll be perverted again. Was he making it up when he said he didn't mean to? I've been thinking about starting my own business to pursue my own fortune and freedom from being a wagie (or at least a side job), the problem is I can't decide on what to pursue. My current career and the associated training/skills doesn't translate over well to many other fields. I've floated numerous ideas such as a video game company, outdoors/travel guide, motorcycle/car dealership/shop, fabrication, restaurant/bar, and many more... I've even considered pursing showbiz but recognize this would be likely the most difficult and leave me unlikely to succeed. With almost all of my ideas I would need training, study, or to go back to school to prepare for it and do it successfully. Any recommendations on what to do, and what do you think would be most fulfilling and lucrative? How do you actually get wealthy? If working hard leads to retirement, I would have been there in my early 20's. I'm almost 40 and I am no closer to retirement than when I was 9.
I've tried starting 2 businesses, both failed for different reasons. My business partner passed away on one and I couldn't handle their half of the tasks and we went under. The second one was that I couldn't sell shit. Doesn't matter what I did with Instascam or a website, I could not get traffic to my shit and sell.
Too poor for real estate. No licensed for finance. How the fuck do I get rich and travel the world and fuck 10's the rest of my life? I'm being compelled to speak with a court appointed psychologist so he could assess my mental capacity to stand trial for some shit that went on.
Do I have to speak to him? What happens if I refuse and just sit there silent? Does anything I say may incriminate me? My gf's boss is a hot smoking milf who lifts and she's on facebook dating. I met her once in person during their employee Christmas party, and I instantly became infatuated with her. We talked and got along great, but I feel like if she never met me I could have fucked her as an anonymous person on the dating apps. My gf got chunky and we haven't fucked in months, but I can't leave her since I'm living at her mom's house for the time being. Is there any way to gauge the boss's reaction to a hook up in secret, or would she squeal on me? After months of failing to get literal cuck tier jobs, I thought I might as well just put up flyers all over my city offering to teach art for 40$ per hour lesson.
>Am I allowed to do that?
>Am I... sort of allwed to do that if I am discreet?
>What kind of personal details should I avoid putting out there? Is a phone fine, or should I only put a burner email?
>What are some turn offs or red flags that would make someone avoid trying it out?
>What are some must haves on the ad?
>should I stick to stylized art like anime art, or draw more realistic animals and nature or the flyer art?
>any suggestions on how to do it right and what to avoid
I have also been considering walking up to my local misic school and just offering them to draw album art for them on the spot for 20$. Again, no clue if this is even legal or how to do it right.
Note, I have the art skills and ability to teach. What I am more asking is if it is legal to do and the logistics I'm 5 foot 7.
Am I considered short?
I'm a dude. my bf keeps watching podcasts of women on youtube, he usually changes his behavious after, faults me everything i did wrong according to the women he watched. currently he watched some video of how to be a hot guy, now tries to act like a "bad mysterious boy" and etc. its really annoying, i tell him to stop and he dismisses all my feelings and whatever i say. its like he cares more of the girls he watches on youtube. most would say i am insecure and i dont deny it. but one for sure is that i do everything for this guy, from taking care of him to doing everything he tells me to. atp idk what to do, too attached to him to leave him.
ps hes a christian and doesn't support women rights. but all he listens to is women podcasts and music made by women. this is confusing me, but again this all might sound cringe, i am asking for advice cause i completely lost my mind I don’t know what to do anymore, everything is just gray and sad in my life. I’ve been isolated for so long with no friends, i’m a 22 year old shut-in neet in uni who can’t even go to uni because of extreme social anxiety. I try to ”study” online instead and postpone everything that requires going to campus and i’m so stressed because of it.
I live with my family and i’ve been crying a lot lately, I see no purpose anymore (barely any hope). There are some days I wake up with ”some” energy but then i’m back to being sad again. I just want to end it, but don’t want to make my parents disappointed when they find out I killed myself :(. What do these muscular girls look for in a man? Are they looking for a man that's more buff than they are? Are they looking for a pretty boy to lift with one hand? Are they not worth the time because they're batsuit insane? If anyone has dated one, let me know. Based on your experiences, if you were to select a partner which qualities would look for or be wary of in another person?
For me, I'd look for:
>Being gentle.
>Educated, well spoken. Doesn't have to be a Doctor of anything, just not an absolute idiot.
>Takes care of her body and overall health.
And I'd be wary of:
>Party/club hoes, alcoholic/drug users.
>Has hoe/deadbeat friends, "male friends", "male best friend", orbiters she decides to keep around. Basically: surrounding yourself with shit people usually means you are a shit person, too.
>Vulgar clothing, excessive tattoos, excessive cursing. You're the only people i relate to.
inb4 >>>/soc/ noone there actually uses 4chan How financially stable should someone be before moving out on their own? I have £4500/$6000 in my savings and £1500/$2000 in my current/checking account. I make about £1500/$2000 a month but where I intend to move I'll probably need to get another job and I'm not sure I'll be able to get one right away but it shouldn't take that long.
I should mention I have moved out once before about 4 years ago but that was with my ex, I'm single now so thats why I'm trying to be more careful with money.
I know obviously prices vary depending on where you are but are there some general rules I should follow?
I'm 24m, but back in college, so 18-22, I was in a social circle with someone who shared the same first name with me, and he eventually got into a relationship early on, but something about this really triggered severe jealousy issues, as if I were projecting myself onto him, simply because I shared his first name, and whenever they were together, or like they referred to each other in an endearing way ("babe" for instance), this would trigger something inside of me and I would instinctively give a very nasty look.
It was driven worse by the fact that people definitely noticed and would make a game out of it, like whenever they would notice this pattern, other people in the room would go "X is getting married with Y"! but this would happen literally every single time to mock me indirectly.
I feel so deeply ashamed that I feel this way, as if it was meant to be me, but for whatever reason, this thought lives so rent free in my head, and it feels like such an ugly thought despite that fact.
Why am I this way? I really needed to get this off my chest, as I really don't understand this about myself and this is an extremely loser way to think. I just want to know why did God hate me so much that he made me male. I don't get it. I hope I'll never be born male ever again. What would be the best desktop app to stream movies and series via torrent?
I remember using Popcorn Time and Stremio but my experience has turned to shit as time passed by, both became filled with low seeded torrents that didn't do the trick at all I think this pregnant woman at my work is throwing the pussy at me. Every time we're at a work function, she talks about how she doesn't want to be a single mom, how she's got to follow the dad around. I'm tired guys, lost out on my chance to have a woman whose kids are all mine. I'd honestly be willing to stepdad for this woman by this point. Is this retarded? How do I tell if she's even interested, or just telling me about her life? I know it's betabux but at 28, almost 29 I feel like I just need to take what I can get. She's ambitious, smart, and a petite redhead, which is exactly my type in all aspects. /adv/ ?
Oh also all of this would be contingent on her having my kid in short order. Nobody respects me.
Everytime I end up meeting people or in groups, I end up being the butt of every joke and people feel free to disminish my opinions. It is not banter, you can see the difference between banter and being a laughing stock. Doesn't matter what I try, it ends up with people not respecting me. This has happened many times already.
>Better alone than with those people
I'm tired of being alone and meeting and meeting people that don't give a fuck about me. Yesterday I spent the entire day trying to stand upright and now I can't move my neck. Is it possible for some people's bodies to just reject good posture or am I doing something wrong? I may\will die within 3, 4 years. I want to complete my bucket list--Im hesitant because some items may kill me sooner, make my family poorer (whence I borrow from them cause Im gonna die so--pay me you stingy jew),etc
Some items are blatantly NSFW; ive always wanted, but never done it, to pay a femdom prostitute for her to give me a severe beatdown; kicks, whips, caning, punches and slaps, etc
I also want to do Pablo Escobar stuff like giving 4 bills of the highest denomination in my local currency\country, to each beggar I find--and to deliberately set out to walk the streets wherein I know beggars WILL be there. How do I actually force myself to draw? I've been wanting to draw for nearly 2 years now and have barely made any progress towards that goal. I've only done one Loomis face like 2 years ago and haven't done any exercises or line work since then. I've been trying to get myself to draw, but all of it looks too complicated and exhausting for me. I've tried multiple different strategies, but they never seem to work. I've tried forcing myself to draw, but can only make myself draw circles for barely 30 seconds before stopping and looking at my phone again.
I've got a couple of drawing books and a drawing tablet for my PC and barely touched them.
My shaky hands fuck up every drawing I make, and I can barely do lines without fucking them up. I can't use my shoulder, I only feel good using the motions of my fingers.
Okay, so for a bit of background, I'm a 23-year-old guy. I've never had sex before, and I'd really like to lose my virginity.
So about a couple weeks ago, I started talking with this really pretty girl in my math class who I'd had my eye on for a while. I did get kinda lucky because we were randomly assigned to the same group together for a small research project, and she was actually the one who initiated our first convo outside of class. For the record I probably come across as a relatively deferential though not overly submissive guy in person, and I feel like that's probably the rough impression that she had of me at first. After a few days though we started flirting with each other a bit, and she seemed a little taken aback by how much I was taking command of things, I would say it looked to me like she was pleasantly surprised by how dominant I could actually be and this probably heightened her attraction to me at least somewhat, I got the sense she was impressed that I was capable of naughtier talk than my usually innocent self came across as. Anyways I felt like things were going really well between me and her for a while, maybe it's just a coincidence but I feel like the turning point where she started to lose interest in me came right around the time when she asked me to send her a dick pic one night. For reference I don't think I have a really big one, it's like 3 or 4 inches hard and I think she could probably tell it wasn't the largest and in hindsight I probably wasn't using the most flattering angle at all desu.

How do I get out of this? I've literally just played video games since dropping out of high school when I was 15. It was pretty fun but my parents' money is running out. How hard are 6 figure jobs to get? Hey adv, I used to do shrooms, acid, pot, and had an alcohol problem. I managed to get the alcohol under control and kick pot, but the temptation to do psychedelics is quite high as they don't show up on drug tests. I am getting older (turn 31 soon) and think it's probably best that I stop getting involved with shit that could land me in jail. I don't have a wife or kids, but I'd like to have a family and it feels like that could get in the way of it.
What coping mechanisms/ways to resist temptation do you guys recommend? Because FUCK I love acid and shrooms. Why do higher IQ people have less children? legit question: is chatGPT a good alternative for therapy?

Im done trying to be cool with it, i get it, i will ALWAYS just fucking hate it, what can i do to manage my hate and not do stuff like attack and scream at other people due to my constant rage??? How do I convince girls to let me put my penis in their butts? Do any of you have the link to that one folder from Mega which is a reminiscence of /sig/ threads Should I get a pet dog or cat and why? I want to love my girlfriend 24/7, but it gets difficult when she frequently just brings up past arguments or complains about me out of nowhere. I was saying I feel bad for the Wagies cleaning the Minecraft movie, and she immediately said she was going to kill me because last year I told her she shouldn’t stress out too much about her job.
I want to buy her trinkets, food, clothes, etc., and for her to love them, and to love that I do those things for her. But she frequently just complains about me or the shows and books I like, and it gets a bit tiring. I feel as if im constantly too much. It doesnt matter where i go. In person, online in servers, it feels i always spook people or talk too much or am too emotional or too intense and nobody wants to stay with me. Im constantly wanting to play a role so people accept me but it never works i always snap eventually, and people leave anyways. I live in a city, i walk around a lot, everywhere i go it feels i would never fit, everyone would not really want me around.
I was born with ambiguous genitals, and the conclusion the doctor went with was penis. Life ended up proving all my inside organs were female after puberty started, and my parents pushed me into surgery to be "normal". I had to ditch my friends and we moved somewhere else to start over.
I was happy being a guy, though. I don't feel like I got a say in any of it, and I'm feeling cheated. I'm short, and I keep thinking about how if "fixing" me had been removing the inside organs that didn't line up with the outside, I could have lived as a mostly normal guy.
I don't feel like I fit in with anybody now. I haven't left my apartment for more than 30 minutes at a time in 3 years because life just feels weird now.
I don't believe in trans stuff, if you're lucky enough to have all that be medically certain at birth you should be thankful for it but in my case it wasn't certain until I'd already spent my most formative years believing I was a normal boy.
I figured posting this on /lgbt/ would get me a hugbox answer. I'm hoping for somerhing more honest. In my case, would I be wrong to want to trans my gender? I feel like I just do not have the foundation in my upbringing I need to live the way I've been forced to. What do you do if every single waking moment of your life somebody is trying to usurp or destroy your happiness/relaxation?
Like the second you are actually happy, somebody with everything in their life and access to anything the want simply cannot handle you being happy?

>don't think he has ever had a gf either
I feel bad. When I was 18, he knew I was having a hard time and he once invited me out, which I took him up on. He tried to help me. He reached out to me. I feel like I should be doing that, but even though we are both losers, I don't think I have anything in common with him anymore. Smoking weed disgusts me. I have no interest in D&D. I am more of a solitary sperg who is into biology, paleontology, astronomy and astrology/mythology, history ect. I like being on my own in nature, analysing plants and animals. He likes smoking weed and playing D&D. What can I do?
My extended family are getting real worried about him I am going to sleep in a few hours.
Every time I go to sleep early, I wake up 2 hours in and then can't fall asleep again.
I can only sleep a full eight hours if I stay awake until 4AM. I fall asleep from exhaustion, then I wake up in the afternoon.
How do I fix this?
>inb4 no screens
>inb4 no caffeine
>inb4 no bright lights
>inb4 sleep hygiene >23yo
>all school friends stopped existing after i went to uni, nobody messsages me, nobody calls anymore
>hang out with a circle of good online friends i stuck with for 10 years
>talking to normies at uni or work feels like a torture
how do i even meet new cool people? everytime i force myself into a social interaction i just find myself thinking "man i don't even like these people, i should get out of here" i never had problems socializing in school, i'm not bad looking or short or whatever the fuck i just want to talk to someone from outside but everytime i do it feels like a torture
because of this i keep spending time online and being more and more distanced from irl people,
sometimes i meet irl with said online friends and it's always a blast, but whenever i'm hanging out with a new girl i met or just trying to make conversation with somebody outside it feels like i'm being held hostage by myself If I had a $200k home in a growing capital midwestern city AND I managed to pay it off completely, should I rent it out for $1500-$2k a month for 20 years and then sell it when the home value doubles, or should I just sell it now and put the $200k in the stock market?
I bought it for around $90k in 2019 btw, I know I'm a lucky duck I matched with a girl and we were talking and getting along great, and we planned a date for Friday.
(pretty normal since I'm a good conversationalist)
Out of nowhere she asked how tall I am, so I kept my promise to myself and ghosted her.
I'm so proud of myself. How do I study if I can't do it for the life of me? I know HOW to do it, but I just can't. If it's a subject that I'm not interested in, it's basically impossible to focus on studying even if I've eliminated all distractions. I really need to pass one of my upcoming exams, because I'm 18 and still retaking a subject I should've passed 2 years ago.
>how did you pass all the other subjects you needed to pass
Pure luck in some cases and because I was interested in them in others.
>have you tried just manning the fuck up
Yeah, as I said, I tried eliminating distractions and just doing it and it didn't work. I ended up just sitting there and getting progressively madder and madder. long story short, my dad passed away last year, and we found out he had an affair.
apparently he was still seeing that woman and spending money on her, she's very ill and her meds are expensive.
once he passed away she was left with nothing, my mom refused to even see her which I understand, I stepped in and kept financially helping her in secret.
now my mother found out and she refuses to talk to me, I've basically been ostracized from the family, neither my mom's relatives nor my dad's wish to even speak to me anymore.
how do I fix things? I honestly don't even feel like what I'm doing is wrong Could I theoretically exist in society where I never have to show my face and I could just wear something like pic related all the time? Should I tell my gf that I am on an anti-balding pill (finasteride)? It’s the only reason I have a full head of hair. How do you deal with combative people?
You know the kinds that always have a stick up their ass and are like ready to fight you at a moments notice?
>Hey how's it going?
>WHAT DO YOU WANT
>Could you pass the butter?
>WHAT YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR
>Do you happen to know the time?
>WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK I AM
>Hey what happened to your leg there?
>MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS
You know what I mean? And they're always like this. How do you deal with that?
Life always critizizes me for everything.
24/7 I hear 'voices' (thoughts in a voice not like schizo just normal) burning every thing I think, say or do. Everything they burn me so ruthlessly. These are my own thoughts because I hate myself but they took on ' persona ' . I internalized the world and that world has become a living character in my head and verbally destroys me every second of every day for atleast a year now.
I didnt get that voice for no reason. People always look at me an immature failure. With good reason yes they are completely right in their judgment and assesment Im 30 and never had a job as I just had welfare. Yes Im not a real man Im a failure I have contributed nothing Im a parasite I should be grateful for every single thing I have as I worked for nothing . Yes I am useless and all that. All the criticisms I ever received (and I get them 24/7 people have been talking down to me all my life) are completely true I fully accept them but Im just so tired of never having a break of people or life in itself spitting in my face.
Like its either my mind terrorizing me, other people or I just see things around me that mock me. Like I can see an 18 year old hard working and I am reminded of how worthless and inadept I am. I see a younger kid studying and I am reminded of how I wasted all my life and how much more mature and grown up and superior they are. Everyone is superior and the world has to continue remind me of that and push that in my face till I fall down on the floor not looking up just praising everything and everyone as they are so much superior to me but even if I do that it is not enough and then I am just disturbing others with my presence itself. But if I am not present then I will be internally spat on for not being out there contributing while if I do I am just taking up space wasting everybodies time poisoning the energy
This has destroyed me man. I dont know what even to ask for but if someone has advice tell me How do I initiate physical contact with a woman; especially if there's a significant (but still legal) age gap. I don't want to be seen as a bitch, but also don't want to come across as too aggressive.
pic unrelated
Bit of a ramble on this one, but I was diagnosed with Aspergers at age 11. When I was a kid I would skip about by myself. Eventually I had one friend and I would hang about with him and only him. I read my psychological report from when I was a kid, and the psychologist wrote that I had 'no interest in other people,' for example. I have no deep connections though I'm perfectly CAPABLE of forming friendships and socialising, though I prefer to only have one friend at a time (more of an acquaintance than a friend.)
I do not go anywhere. I go for walks and read books by myself. I feel like I might be a schizoid or something as I do not have a strong desire for socialisation, though I do crave romance and love... but I'm honestly not sure if i want girlfriend and all the hastle that would result in. I fear I would be inadequate in a relationship and I fear even having a relationship to begin with due to the change it would cause and my previous fear of inadequacy.
I'm not sure what I want, I'm a very introverted person but I do enjoy the company of others sometimes. I spend hours of my day in fantasy and daydreaming, listenting to OST's and pacing around my room pretending to be in a fantasy.
I'm not depressed. I feel joy... but I wonder if I'm making an incredible mistake not doing anything... I'm about to finish college... but I struggle to take that first step in iniative in doing an activity.
What do I do and whats wrong with me? I recently read a study which said that the brains of people with chronic depression don't release reward chemicals when the person succeeds at something – only when someone else acknowledges that they succeeded. This basically tracks with my own experiences, and looking back the only periods of my life where I was genuinely, consistently happy were the ones where my managers would say something like "wow" or "nice work" whenever I got though my workload really quickly
Is there any way I can get that more, other than job-hopping until I find someone who's nice to me?
Is there any "safe" way to talk to women these days? With the way modern day women tend to act, accusing men of sexual harassment for literally everything, I find it's just easier and more convenient to avoid women entirely if I can, unless they specifically talk to me first.
One especially concerning example was one of my closest friends with this really terrible ex, when they broke up she told him she hated him and was gonna ruin his life just he wait and see. He didn't take it serious at first. Suddenly almost everyone he knows, including close friends and family members, is accusing him of being an abusive rapist and women beater, and until he was proven innocent his life was made absolute hell until then, even had to be detained by the police in jail. Even all of his family members with the exception of his parents wanted nothing to do with him anymore. These days he struggles with depression and drug addiction.
I also find that women in general tend to be really petty. There have even been many times where I was just zoned out and just accidentally ended up looking at a certain woman for like 4 or 5 seconds, and then they wouldn't stop telling their friends for literal months how this one time I looked at them for 5 seconds and made them feel "so unsafe."
So with this I'm wondering if it's even possible for men to safely talk to women unless they're gay men. Cuz women love hanging out with gay men, but not straight men.
For the record, I don't mean to be sexist, and I don't hate women. But with all the issues women can bring, I find it's better to just avoid them unless they reach out to me first. My illegal immigrant gf has confessed to me how scared she is of being deported with Trump’s new ICE push. She even asked me to go to an anti-Trump protest on her behalf since she’s scared if she does she’ll get arrested.
Should I confess to her I voted Trump? I feel bad she’s scared and that I in some way contributed to his winning but it’s not like I can really do anything, and I do really like her. how do I stop caring so much about what women think of me? i want to stay single for a few years but most of my thoughts right now are about compliments or insults ive received from women I'm really concerned with how things are going and how I'm thinking ,it might not end well for everything.
For starters, I've been into some obsessed shit, more obsessed than anything my autistic ass has been for a long time.
to best describe it, It's kinda like a (S)hitlist thrown into some christian induced stuff where it's just a shit load of fantasy level ideas of shit loads of people not existing in the first place, what my true life would be like, how things should've gone, it's something i have to admit is just sad and concerning for my mental health, and it's probably due to getting some misanthropic mindset shit from alot of personal problems like with my family and the internet.
The fuck do i even do? can someone tell me what the BGM is in this video im going insane
