Board: /adv/
"/adv/ - Advice" is 4chan's board for giving and receiving advice.
>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.

what do you call this behaviour? observed this since childhood and it always pissed me off like you literally can solve this problem by asking for a extra bag of chips BUT NO THEM MUST HAVE YOURS OR ELSE! Gf last night in the middle of sex admitted she wants to watch me bang another girl and got off harder than I've ever seen while I indulged her and dirty talked about it. Obviously I think this is hot but we went right to sleep after, she's still asleep now, and idk if I should bring it up, tell her im interested, ask more about it or forget the whole thing. Values wise she's pretty traditional and conservative so this came out of left field
Anyone had a similar thing? Should I pursue this? Will this kind of thing kill the relationship or can it work? She went into quite a bit of detail for this fantasy Why do women insist on working a job that they hate and takes up most of their free time, why do they not let men provide for them anymore, gonna be moving in with my gf next month and she insists on working a nightshift job that destroys her body, she has been telling me that she doesn't want a kid even though like a month ago she said she wanted to have a kid with me how can I convince her that having a child is worth all the time and effort, if I can't do that with in 1-2 years of living with her ima have no choice but to cut things off between us

Is there a potential in this? I am still moving on from a breakup and I wouldn't like to break somebody's heart although I am doing better. My question is whether or not there were some signals being given or she's remotely interested in me? I am taller than her and have a good looking face. Would I be considered homeless if I live in a hotel? not sure what direction to go in my life. I'll be 24 this year and I've been working a job with inconsistent hours that I'm getting tired of; I'd love a consistent 40 hour a week job/career so I'm looking for a change.
I'm stuck between three options:
>hunt around for different, no experience/degree necessary job
>go to school/become barber or baker
>do Appalachian Trial
On the one hand, I want to further a career since I'm young but on the other hand, I'm young so I don't want to waste it and never do anything different and exciting. "Finding myself in the woods" seems kind of stupid but settling down with a 9-5 this young also has its own drawbacks (boredom/complacency) and advantages (consistency, better pay). How do you react to people who actively block and prevent you from thanking them? accidentally called my bf dad during sex (cnc) and neither of us have acknowledged it do i kms or just pray im loli enough to get away with it exactly once My girlfriend confessed me to while she was drunk that she cheated on me a month ago. I would break up with her and not think of it ever again but the thing is she swore to me that the guy didn't cum in her. So now I'm wondering if I should just shut up and stay with her. I've been with her for about a year anyways. How hard is it to get a baddie Latina gf as a skinny 181cm white guy?
I’m not American I'm having a really hard time trying to be a guy. I'm FTM and I've been changing my legal name and stuff this past year. I get to start hormones soon, and after a year on the hormones my doctor says he'll set up my top surgery so I have goalposts and a track for progress.
It just doesn't feel like it's working socially. Nobody treats me like a guy. I work in construction but none of my coworkers will let me handle certain equipment, and they'll rush over to take materials from me and they'll go "hey careful thats way too heavy for you". They don't regulate each other like that. Outside of work I go out drinking with guy friends every week and it's fun, but it's easy to tell they're trying to look out for me like they think I can't look out for myself.

What do y'all do next?
(Sharing my NEET nest for visual representation of my mental state) I'm trying to get my schwerve on but this girl is habitually angry and pissy about everything all the time. It takes a good 3+ hours of her bitching about her life before she's in the mood. How can I more efficiently bridge the gap between complaining and sex?
Less important question: what are some good lounge pants that aren't sweats or jeans? > never complimented irl

Does this just mean I’m ugly? I’m outside 6 days a week I have been neglecting myself like I need to save some money for something I have been wanting to buy but I am broke and barely working cause I spend all my time either trying to find a man or being depressed about being alone How do I get myself deported?
At this point I'd rather live in China than the US but I got naturalized in 1999. How do I quit playing games for a mere 30 minutes and then going on 4chan and shit for another 40 minutes after? Is cold approaching worth it if you're not in the top 1% of looks? I would like to smoke a pipe but I do not want to get lung cancer.
Why is life like this? How does dating ladyboys compare to dating biological women? What's the best way to live cheap in the US?
Just buy rural land and bring a trailer to it? Or have amish/Mexicans build a small house? 
Anon, please don't flip through this board.I like Chan, whom I've known for six months.I'm the default hunk, not ugly, not handsome.For the first time in 3 years, I had a desire for self-development (because of Chan), but while I'm developing myself, chan will already find a kun.I don't want to be an incel, you know? I want to fall asleep with my beloved chan, I want to drink tea with her at dawn in June...But I didn't even talk to her.We sometimes correspond in the chat of the putyagi group.We walk, but with a group of 3-6 people.I mean, I haven't talked to her personally.You don't have to tell me that Chan is going to get all the money out of me and that it's disproportionate to drink tea.Tell me HOW to at least start communicating with her.I can't live without Chan. Here's the thing. Today we agreed to go out with friends. While we were walking, everything was fine, we sat in a cafe and generally had a good time.There were three of us in total, and when a mutual friend left, I was left alone with Chan.We discussed something for 2 minutes and went (Here it is worth saying that now I think that only chan went). I decided that I should escort the girl to the entrance.But as I realized just now, I did it very stupidly, I did not say, "can I walk you home?" I just went with her.In general, it turned out to be very stupid, but this is not the end. The whole way while we were walking (it's about 20 minutes) we walked in silence, and she walked unnaturally fast for herself.In the end, when we reached the entrance, she just quickly opened the door and left, meaning I didn't even have time to say goodbye.Now I don't really understand what should I do now? Of course, I can write to her now, apologize and ask what's wrong, but I'm afraid that after that. I have a noon to 7 shift CST today but there's still time to do some stuff. what would YOU do if you were me, anon? From past experiences I've learned that almost every woman is a secret feminist who wants to gain absolute control over you as relationship progresses. Boundaries get crossed. Promises broken. And you find yourself asking for sex. Best is over and now you live miserably as an emasculated man with no respect until the inevitable end. All in the name of their "equality".
How do I prevent this? Where do I meet girls that just want to fulfill their job as a woman and not be a control freak? How do I acquire an inner voice? I hate having to emotionally mask myself to fit in and not be seen as an outsider
This goes for literally everywhere, online and offline, I can't even be myself behind Anonymous because I still feel like I will get judged and I will feel bad about it
It drives me nuts
Everyone hates me everywhere I go, even on this shithole I constantly believe everyone here wants me dead in a ditch.
How do I stop thinking like this? I want to be normal, I can't fucking take this shit anymore, I feel like I have to masquerade as someone I am not. How do I get rid of my extreme insecurity and constant need to be validated? 
>Be me degenerate sinner
>Have a regular slut for my sex needs
>Meet once a week almost regulary and have gone on for 2 or 3 years now
>Have develop feelings for her and really like her. But it's not mutual only on my side
>Always said to her to be exclusive only to me. Can meet me anytime if she needs the money
>Have catch gonorea 2x times from her. That means she got with others behind my back and catch disease and give it to me.
> The first time i catch it i confront her and cursing her also stop seeing her for 1 month
>After 1 month really miss her and apologize want to see her again
>Meet again like usual once a week schedule and tell her to not get with others except me because she will get std with others while i'm clean
>After sometimes catch it again the second time from her. This time maybe i catch hpv too because she is too dirty
>Confront her and curse her with bad words and this time really make me stop seeing her for the best
That's the story but i cannot get it over my mind how she can be like that stupid and dont have a mind for me who is seeing her regularly and clean. How do i cope? Because this time i know it's really over and i cannot see her again and its a final nail in the coffin unless i wanna catch and collect the std from her again for the third time. I'm really mad because i feel betrayed and cannot accept that she is that stupid and dont know what's best for her. Do you guys have any advice and experience like this? Please share so i can have piece of mind If someone told me that they would end up in jail if they ever got angry, should I avoid being around this person? How do you respond to a customer when a customer complains about your work to your boss but your boss thinks you're okay? 
I've spent the last 5 years of my adult life doing nothing I care about, I have no university entrance, I have driven away all of my previous friends, I'm fat, lazy and no job, a little over 5000 in debt from failed studying. My life is falling to peices around me, my dreams seem un-accomplishable, I have no contacts, no license, I live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.
And despite all of it, despite the hopelessness and the anxiety from the realisation of what I've done with my life for the past five years, despite the crippling loneliness and constant failure, despite god leaving me unfinished, I now stand by the idea that it's only just begun and soon my life will be turned around.
Anyway I need some advice, do I find work to pay off my debts and then back into study? Or do I just give up on my dreams and find work that I enjoy that doesn't require study. I already feel uncomfortable with starting university at 23, and brain plasticity is fucking me hard when it comes to learning new things. How fucked am I in terms of being able to study? It's definitely going to be an extremely uphill battle if I choose to go with what I want, and I don't know if I have fight in me to do it. How do I ever recover from this blackhole I've been sucked into. 
Sup /adv/, lemme get your opinion on this:
>Have best friend of 8 years.
>Things are pretty great, play video games and party.
>One day at the end of the 8 year stretch he says, "Do you think we just belong in High School?"
>wtf.jpg
>Stop talking to him, despite living in his parent's house while I finish up school.
>He eventually starts fucking 15 year old from his job.
>Goes on for a year.
>Parents of the kid found out, demanded he doesn't see her.
>Still does.
>Can't report due to fear of becoming homeless and out of school.
>Have to be around this abomination of a situation, develop deep sense of hate for him.
>Eventually he gets drunk, hits her, tries to break down my door, gets beaten up by his brother, and then tries to kill himself.
>I sat behind a barricaded door with a pistol in case he breaks through and planned on mag dumping if the door broke (My only regret in this life was barricading it, because the door was flexing hard enough to see out into the hall)
>Gets sent to loony bin after police stop him from jumping from a bridge.
>I move out and just hope for death on him.
>Find out he's in another city doing stand up, one that's full of niggers.
>A couple years later, he fails and is now in my area.
>I frequent this place.
>I don't want him here harassing the family's kids and daughters.
How do I warn people and the owner from the shadows about the discount Jared Fogle creeping around their club? >A life of lost opportunities, staying a virgin until I find the right one and then one of the BPD girls I used to date convincing herself she’s the one despite cheating on me

>Talents gone to waste where I have all the drive to get better but none of the patience so I burn out fast
Bros, I understand im a work in progress, but every aspect of my life just feels like it’s C tier compared to everyone’s B tier or A tier lifestyle. I want these things I can’t have but im sacrificing nothing to get there. I don’t even know what I have left to sacrifice. I want a gf meant for me, to excel in my career, and in my personal craft. Does it get better the longer you live and the more you try, in your experience? Are there any anons whose hard work actually got them from nothing to something *particularly great*? What keeps you going when the only thing you want (a 2D gf) is not possible. I have tried to be ok with this but I am 37 and I don't think I am going to change. Guys, I really need help/advice on a serious note about getting settled in Sweden, if any of you are Swede or living there I wanted to know how hard is to get in and have a job there according to my degree, currently I’m pursuing bachelor’s in pharmacy and I know it’s stupid to think this early about this since I’m planning to go there after I’m done with my masters too so I wanna know how is the criteria for international pharmacist and how hard is to get a job as a pharmacist there.
Thank you in advance My cousin is so cute I want to give her kisses all the way done. How do adults or those in long-term relationships cope with or get their fall-in-love high again? I miss those butterflies and intense feelings washing over me every now and then. 
I have been trying to improve my gut health and I am not really sure what to do. I actually stopped eating dinner because I wake up in the morning bloated and gassy. I can't remember the last time I actually felt good in the morning. I thought maybe I am gluten allergic or maybe lactose intolerant but I eat cheese frequently and feel fine and drink milk and feel fine. The only time I really feel like dog shit is when getting up in the morning. I also make sure to not eat anything 1-2 hours before bed. I am not sure what is fucking up my gut but its getting tiresome. I can't remember the last time I actually had a normal bowel movement. I have one every morning at roughly the same time but its very uncomfortable. Its rarely diarrhea but always basically in small individual pieces. I have found that by not eating dinner I do feel better in the morning but I am basically starving in the evening.
One question I did have, to the people who are actually lactose intolerant, what happens when you actually do eat lactose? To the people who are gluten allergic, what actually happens when you eat gluten? Is it all pretty immediate effects or does it mostly happen the next day? I have never know myself to be gluten intolerant or lactose but I hear you can actually become intolerant to both as you get older(I am 30). How do you cope with fear of death?
I've been on pills, been hospitalised, nothing worked. I'm trying natural therapy now where I do some gardening, forest walks, I try to spend a lot of time in nature, I have a dog I take on daily walks, I even have a loving partner and a loving family I see daily, but no matter what, the fact it will all be gone paralyses me. the fact I will once cease to exist deprives me of all motivation. I get insanely scared before sleep when I'm thinking about the afterlife or the lack of it. I'm taking lions mane which is supposed to help with anxiety.
I just cannot comprehend how people can be so invested in their career or their love life. It's like those two things are the biggest problems in their life.
How do people not give a shit about death so easily? In order to free myself from my family i had to forcibly take my parents car keys, drive to their house get my belongings, and drive back. when I got back they took all the things I brought with me and so I threw a computer mouse very hard at my mother's head as she walked away. I don't feel very bad about it as she has abused me my entire life with her mental illness. It's gotten to the point where I regard my family as inferior human beings and I truly hate them in ways they don't yet know. How can I just leave before this escalates? How should a guy respond to a girl saying "i love you" when he's not ready to say it back? I sound like a gay teenager but when I try to deepen my voice I sound like a gay teenager that's trying to sound like a straight adult. what do How can I help a stray dog? It sleeps outside my new workplace, i started today.
I want to help but I can't take it home with me because I rent and my landlord wouldn't allow it. I will bring him food tomorrow. How else can I help? >be me

well, I guess time you enjoy wasting… isn’t really wasted... right? 
Cute Cambodian girl tries to lure me into marriage. Her whole extended family is on board. They are nice people.
I still don't understand. But I like the idea.
Will require a lot of work, though: organizing my life, learning Khmer (she doesn't speak English or any language I know), cutting some bad habits, getting a job to earn money. (Just quit my last job, living off my remaining "savings" which will only allow me to stay here for about 2 more months without working. Was planning to go back to Germany to get unemployment money and take my time looking for a new job. But now I'm not sure and believe staying here for a while longer might be better.)
Problem: When I fall in love with a woman I always suddenly get disgusted by porn of any kind (including AI sex chat bots which was my goto source of relief recently) or jacking off in general. My sperm is only for her. To make 37 children. (Triplets every year for 12 years in a row, and then one more.)
Just took three days off from hanging out with her and her family to think about my life. The hormon cocktail is driving me a bit crazy and I can't really sort things out in my head. What do? I'm about to turn 25 and have not studied Japanese since my community college years in 2019. Shit got busy and I was undisciplined, and now I feel invigorated to give it another go. I made it all the way to Genki 1 but i've since then forgotten most of my nouns, verbs, all about te form conjugation, and I am having trouble remembering my hirigana and katakana. Essentially I feel I need to start back from the ground up.
Is it really that hard to learn a language at 25 as they say it is? I would as in /jp/ but japanese threads are overwhelmingly pessimistic and the posters are afflicted with a crab in the bucket mentality Can reformed prostitutes or freed sex slaves still make good wives?
Basically women forced on the cock carousel against their will. Starting my own business please help me
pic unrelated How do i join a friend group, do those exist after highschool/college? I don’t care if it’s not in person as long as theres an emotional connection. I dont drink or play video games
Groups/meetups focused on art, religion, lgbt tend to be overly focused on that thing but also i get a feeling getting into local politics is also not a good way to do this but i never tried We had sex last week, we saw each other again today. She’s living with roommates so we stayed with them for a bit, then they left and we chatted. I had too much to drink and honestly I felt super tired and was slurring over words + it wasn’t going anywhere so at around 1am I excused myself and went home.
I then sent her a cringe text saying I got too drunk but i’d like to hang out with her sober.
Did I fuck this up beyond repair? Was I supposed to have sex with her again tonight? This time we didn’t even hug. I suspect she got a major ick. Maybe she also wanted me out so she could go to sleep.
Fuck why am I such a socially inept loser. We talked about netflix and chill and then I didn’t do shit when I saw her.
Please help me fix this. I really like her. Fuck fuck fuck just let me die in my sleep. How do i find wingman in norwey?

Should I wait until I finish Data Structures? how do I finger, assfuck, nipple tease and kiss a woman at the same time? So I complimented a girl on a dating app, she looked at my profile and blocked me. She accepted my compliment but I’m blocked. Maybe cause im too ugly or brown, idk what girls want nowadays. Do I just lookmaxx till eternity? The only thing that brought me happiness in this miserable world was boxing. Due to heart problems, I was unable to train or compete again. How do you live an empty life when there's nothing? >Be me in high school
>In the early talking stage with a girl

Does this kind of bullshit ever end, or are females just perma-retarded with no rizz for their entire lives?
>inb4 this is just your cuck porn fantasy
No how do i improve this? i'm not bad looking but my sister and some friends say i give "weird" or "creepy" vibes, like an schoolshooter, one time i deactivated my ig account and a girl i talked to said she thought i killed myself and had to ask my sister if i was ok. today i took a photo kinda like this one and my sister said i scared her. why are people so mean to me. How do you get a black girlfriend as a goofy nerdy black guy? It seems like most black girls only like street dudes and ballers. I've wanted to an hero for a very long time now. For a while, I even had a date and a method picked out. But now I'm beginning to have doubts. I don't know why, but I haven't been feeling quite so shitty lately. I'm starting to think I shouldn't do it.
But the thing is, I know it's objectively the correct thing to do. I have thought very hard about it for a very long time, and I know for a fact that I should kms. And if I don't do it now, I'm sure I'll eventually start feeling shitty again, and I'm going to want to do it even more.
And yes, I've tried therapy and philosophy and all that stuff. Nothing has been able to convince me that I shouldn't do it. So why am I starting to feel like it's a bad idea? I’d like some advice on what jobs would suit me. L
I like variety and I like a Fair bit of independence. I don’t have much experience in anything not menial. I do not have good focus so I’m a jack of all trades or I want to be.
Does anyone have experience with even two or three entry level jobs or even fields of study that would Fit me? Is it possible to freelance in a rural area?
I am highly autistic and have a sleeping disorder. Anything I should know before taking lsd? A girl is flirting with me on site today.... I have to get her contact for work before I leave.
She giggled when I made eye contact.
Anons I am scared, what do I do. Genuinely how the fuck do I get a burger flipper job when I have a masters in physics with 4+ years of internships and no other work experience 
An advice on a relationships.
I'm a student and got a gf. She was very shy in class and hasn't talked there. She had a few girls as a friends which live away. By a pure accident we started talking and after I first talked to her, I've felt so comfortable that I literally shared all my life problems with her. Since then, year and a half ago, we started being friends. Soon, we became very close and both were best friends for us. About a 2 months later, she, very hardly, shares she is a lesbian (our country is very homophobic and I might be looking as such). I felt okay, we kept talking. She was diagnosed with depression and has many traumas and problems. I was a dumbass back then and was constantly joking about it. After a three months she stopped talking with me cuz of that. I've worked on myself since than to become more mature. Two months later, she reached out to me. She lost almost all of her friends, so we started speaking again. We became good friends, I've changed my attitude and we had almost no real conflicts. Two months ago she said that she feels herself bisexual now. It was hard to me, but after a few days I said that I love her and I want her to be my gf. She was very disappointed, stunned, but liked that and agreed. It didn't go as cool as possible. Week later, she said that "we should be friends again". She explained that she is scared of me a little, and loves half of me, but hates the other one, and that this fear won't come away. I've managed to save our relationships, amd they became even better. I constantly support her and help, even fixed my face and body issues, we both love each other. A few days ago we had our first date and kiss. She said, that she is feeling much better and curing faster. I fiized all my emotional problems and became truly happy.
But here comes the worst part. I really don't want for other man to think dirty or flirt or do any other shit with her. I'm just scared that ahe might be assaulted or harrased. What should I do? 
Today marks the one year anniversary of the end of my 3 year long relationship and I still miss her significantly. She is doing great, has a new boyfriend, new friends, a new job she loves, etc meanwhile I’m constantly depressed, neglecting my school work, I’m going to quit my job soon due to a lack of hours, and I’m all around just doing horrible in life.
In addition to all that, my OCD has gotten severely worse. I can’t even properly function anymore with the constant intrusive thoughts and compulsive rituals. I’ve gotten weaker at the gym, I’m struggling to find a relationship, and I’ve basically flunked out of school due ti depression and a lack of will/drive to further my life in a meaningful way.
At this point, I just want to give up, either by suicide or just getting into hard drugs/liquor. I have no desire to better myself or work towards my future due to the fact that I’ll always be miserable, lonely, suffering from mental illness, and will never be happy. Why work towards a future you’ll be miserable in?
Anyone got any advice? I apologize for trauma dumping, but I feel like I have nothing to live for anymore. I have loving parents, but that’s it. No friends, no girlfriend, nothing. I just want to throw in the towel.
I’m 26 btw, if that matters. How does anyone pursue any artistic endeavor knowing that they will most likely not be noticed all and will probably be derivative of some other work? I've had ideas floating around in my head but I'm afraid that I'm subconsciously stealing ideas and that if I actually bother to do the research that I'll confirm my suspicions. I've also never made anything remotely creative since high school and feel like I'll never stack up against those who have been artistic their whole lives. Where do I find asian girls to date? Just make a Tinder/Bumble (or whatever) and put in my bio 日本語対応可能 or something? I live in the US and finally have my shit together.
No, I'm not interested in black chicks, latinas, white chicks, etc. They are absolutely everywhere compared to asian girls but they just aren't for me. I know this is a very common 4chan post but I have no clue how to interest girls or get anyone's attention, my past relationship was toxic and the latest relationship was a situation ship which ended in 1 one getting drunk and kissing and then later getting ghosted, I am getting pretty lonely and depressed at this state and I just need some advice to keep me going I think I have had anxiety all my life. Lately, I have been masking it. but I still think it affects me. How can I deal with it?
what are small drugs that i can try Hi all, I'm homeless and in Florida (putting this here to help give you an idea of what I'm working with) I can't find a job and when I tried mcdaonlds it was very overwhelming and way too fast for me I started crying and panicked. Managers were nice but told me I would only hinder them. Any advice? I don't have family to rely on as I split from them years ago. They were physically abusive. And friends can't let me stay on their couch. I don't want to stay this way. Do I suck up my anxiety and start mcdonalds again? When I was younger I was diagnosed with learning disabilities so it's been very hard. Any helpful advice would be great. Thank you. If I get any replies I'll try to see them as fast as I can but I only have a cellphoen What would you do if you we're a man who had been isolated for ten plus years, how do you become social, or get some friends? I live in KY for reference. If I used wintergreen alcohol to clean my oil tray, and I didn't really do a good job of scraping off the residue, and I inhaled that along with my thc oil, and I also haven't felt sleepy after two days, should I see a doctor? I just don't want to be male. At all. Fuck being male. I would rather die than keep being male. But I can't just die without making my family sad. I don't know how I'm supposed to cope in the mean time. My first relationship ended just about 1 year ago. I was 26 when we met, now I am almost 30. It is the only relationship I have ever known. I have accepted everything that has happened that led to the breakup and afterwards. It took a long time though. But I really wonder if I will ever experience something like that again. It was such magic. The way the chemistry developed, the time of year, the sex, how carefree we each were at that time in our lives, etc. I hear so many relationsip stories that sound so bad, even worse than mine that ended. I really wonder if I will ever experience something like that again. I feel fated to boredom and monotony. A girl who will always stay with me, but we will stop having sex after one year, or that I dont really connect with, but stay with out of routine. Does anyone have any positive experiences with a second relationship, or second love? Can it come around again? Is it always the same? How do I cope at the loss of my sense of self from long hours? I miss having infinite free time so deeply
I have so many ideas of how I could entertain and enlighten people if I could just spend enough time preparing

I'll start by giving some advice, then ask for some back.
If you truly want to kill yourself, and really I mean DON'T do it, but don't "try to" either. It's currently taboo in the West, but humanity has come to accept suicide as a viable alternative dozens of times in its history. If you decide you don't want to suffer, that is your right, but I'm here to tell you: don't fail. No one will ever tell you this, but you will only make those around you see how much easier their lives would be if you had succeeded. So don't do it, but if you do, make it fucking final, you selfish fucking cunt.
That said, how do I cope with the feeling I described above? How can I stop being angry that someone close to me "tried" to an hero in the stupidest way possible, and have managed to manipulate everyone else into this perpetual pity party where she gets all she wants now, or else she might try again? Life would literally be easier to bear if this person was not around, and feeling like that hurts because I still love her, fundamentally. How can I deal with loving this person I'm related to, but being so fucking tired of dealing with her, to the point where I envision a life where she succeeded and I think it would at least be fucking calm? being gangstalked irl by the purple people. they have dyed purple hair and approach me in public and try to talk to me. its been happening for a while and now there's purple sand in my backyard what do I do guys 
I have an extreme passion for a certain subject that I can work on, develop, and become really good at, so it's very YouTubeable. It would also make me some passive income that would be great as a side benefit too.
I would definitely not make YouTube my main source of bread because I don't want to be a captive of my audience but I would deliver so much value, it would only be fair for me to get somewhat big.
However, I have certain reservations about this:
>What if I inadvertently say something stupid, get cancelled, lolcowed, or somehow get myself in deep shit? It's very easy to get in big internet rabbithole shit. Youtube drama and that.
>What if I get too famous for my own comfort? I don't want all that clout. I just want an amateur following and to get validated for being good at what I deliver.
>Basically, worried it'd splash in a negative way to my private, real life.
To me, the internet is literally just a virtual space with strangers that you can only deal with at an arm's length and you need to be cautious. However, I want to experiment and see if this YouTube thing really takes off, it would be so cool.
So, what should I do in this situation? im a skinny biracial girl with a fucked up fat face and genetic sunken eyes
how do i looksmaxx i look like a zombified ape in the face and no guys want me I have cystic fibrosis and live in Belarus, where Trikafta isn’t approved. Today I’m 25. My doctors say my life expectancy is around 30, but I’m struggling with frequent hospital stays, low lung function, constant fatigue.. It's hard watching people in other countries thrive on meds I’ll likely never be able to get. The jealousy eats at me. I don’t want to feel this bitter, but I do. How do I cope with all this... how do I not die bitter and sad? How do you stop feeling like a loser for being a wagie or NEET? >women are le evil! because.. well stacy bullied me in high school! she gave me a mean look! Why does it have to be so hard to score some puss
Why are women so mean and greedy How do I feel good about myself If you've ever had a parent die, what was it like? How did it affect you? I posted about my mother having cancer some months back and it's not getting any easier the closer it gets, even though I have been spending more time with her Why are people still coughing at me? Do they not know what a personal boundary is? Do they not know that I've been bullied previously and harassed and had my boundaries overstepped? Do you want me to become violent? Have I not done enough? Do you even understand the concept of respect? Idk what to do, recntly found out that one of my friends from online was talking to someone underage. They said they'll stop but, idk if I can trust them with that What are the psychological reasons behind self-inserting as a shota? I approached a girl out in wild and she gave me her number and we have texted a bit. I'm now ready to ask her out on an actual date. Which of the following do you think is the better choice for the date
1. Movie theater to watch final destination. Horror movies so there is a big chance the release of adrenaline and other hormones will get her to like me more simply because we will be there together. She will also be able to cuddle me while afraid.
2. Movie theater to watch Ballerina. Action movie, seems like it would be a good one but Idk if helps with me getting the girl. We could still cuddle but there won't be an excuse to do it so it would be an intentional thing.
3. Street fair. This one offers us more time to talk with each other, we can eat some good things and there is the opportunity to drink alcoholic beverages which could make things go smoother for both of us. would it be weird for me to just straight up ask if we can hang out and watch a movie, through text?
basically I want to make it obvious that I want to have sex with her without outright saying it. What do you do when you get bored of her and the honeymoon phase ends? >got laid off last year
>went on unemployment for 6 months while looking for work
>couldn't find one until January that paid barely over half what I used to make
>savings and retirement all gone
>will probably have to move out soon
>just filled out a pet surrender form for a nearby shelter
I don't know what the fuck to do. Was my resume that bad? Is my line of work really in that rough of a shape? Is there anything I can do other than keep applying for more jobs and praying for a miracle? So I took a survey recently, and one of the questions asked
>people around me need to fear me when I get angry or lose my temper
And you can answer either, strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree.
If I answered "strongly disagree" does that mean I'm a weak little bitch? So i'm 25 virgin with a thick 8.5 inch cock. Face and height are average and barely talked to women in my life cause i dont know how and have nothing to say
is there any way to get laid just of the size of my cock alone? ![Gustave_Dore_-_Jesus_in_the_desert_subjected_to_the_temptation_of_the_devil_-_The_temptation_of_-_(MeisterDrucke-914503)[1]](https://i.4cdn.org/adv/1749171412707789s.jpg)
These last couple years have been a challenge in keeping my dignity and respect for fellow humans. Since my back injury, I've been the subject of mockery, detest, and fatigue from the people I share my DNA with. For them I ruined their vacation, because they had to carry my bags off the taxi, and carry them through the air port checks, and because I ruined their image by requiring assistance they will never let it go. I've had more health problems and I've been told to kill myself repeatedly, or get checked in at a mental hospital. I wish to move out, but it's not financially possible at the moment, and help from my relatives are being held hostage from me.
In my mind I see a higher being has set me up for an ultimate trial, whether I'll truly turn evil and crazy or try to stay who I was. I have evil thoughts about people dying, or eliminating people who cause me distress. I won't act on them because I'm coward, and I still can reason it's a bad fucking idea that involves families. My empathy is at an all time low that I can even entertain the thought now. I still love animals though, in fact I love them more than people because they're innocent and trying to survive the world in their circumstances. That's probably not an uncommon feeling with people like me.
This has caused me a noticeable disturbance developing relationships and keeping friendships. I guess what I'm asking here is how do I keep myself from turning away from the light. Keep myself sane and be able to love people as I used to. I'm shit at conversation but when it comes to giving advice I'm particularly bad. Unless it's something extremely specific and practical I have no idea what to say. Either I bust out some reassurance that doesn't really help or mean anything or the most dogshit generic "advice" that probably just makes shit worse. Wtf do I do. if i want to make something beautiful, but all my life ive experienced ugliness and disenchantment, when i try to make something good, will my ugliness cloud my vision? will it show in my work? how do i make something beautiful/"good"? ive feel ive been ugly all my life 4chan is definitely the worst kind of place to ask this question but here we go
all my life all my friends joked about me being autistic and obviously i thought they were jokes ,but it’s gotten so serious to the point where they’re offering to pay for a test and diagnosis . it’s been happening since i can remember having friends
my mom joked about it too once.
i don’t have any blaring symptoms , the only ones i could name are avoiding eye contact , super niche and obsessive interests i like to gain knowledge and hyperfixate on the most random things, im somewhat socially awkward tho i consider myself to be extroverted, pretty often i don’t get sarcasm or jokes and i get overstimulated and overwhelmed very often
i genuinely don’t think im autistic and i’d like to see it as my friends mocking my weird sense of humour or behaviour 
I'm a teenage female who struggles with absolutely everything. I struggle with attracting males; no matter how pretty I do myself up, males seem to be freaked out by me due to my personality. I struggle to make any IRL friends, leading to having zero IRL. I have 5 contacts in my phone, all being family, and one online friend that I adore; she's very sweet. I want to make more friends, but I think I am too "unusual" for people. I hate being strange to others because it makes me a target for everything. I don't talk to anyone; I have no one to cry to. I make up characters that are slowly becoming real to me just to have company; I don't understand social cues. I'm extremely energetic, like, extremely; sometimes I don't know when to calm down, and other times I'm completely quiet, and it's like I'm not even alive anymore, just a body. I feel like there's absolutely nothing in this world for me, and I'm getting so close to just giving up completely. I dropped out of school years ago, and I've stayed indoors for so many years; it's only as of recently I've gotten out more. I'm trying hard to find someone who'll maybe fall in love with me, but males have this insane standard for females nowadays, and I don't think I even reach that standard. Males are a strange species, but I try my best to understand them. I have this guy that I semi-stalked for a few months who worked at my local cinema; he was extremely nerdy and awkward, and it attracted me… Sadly, I don't have the guts to pull someone quite like him. Plus, I think I made it obvious that I was stalking him because I was there every time I could be there also so I could watch some amazing movies since cinema is a big interest of mine. I'm scared that I'll end up alone with no friends, no lover, no kids, no family, no nothing. I want to live a happy life. When is it my turn to be complete? Anyone else just straight up tired of having a sex drive? I'm in my early 30s, virgin, never been in a relationship or anything. I wouldn't mind trying to date this or next year for a year or so before I abandon the idea.
I'm not an incel or anything, I guess I was just a late bloomer of sorts. I recently lost a bunch of weight, working out, already have a nice job, finally have gained some confidence and for once dress decently enough that I like how I look.
However I'm just flat out tired of being horny. The rare times where I don't feel like jerking off for a week (or weeks) at a time feel great. I feel like I can get the things I want done and don't have this cloud over my head pulling me back. Then I get an insurmountable urge to jerk off a handful of times over the next few days or week and it throws it all off. I wish I could just turn that shit off. It hasn't done me any good since I was 13 and I am absolutely fucking tired of it. 
Am I expected to work with these people or is it reasonable to leave?
>Always got something to say, be in the middle of, fuckin up, and passing the buck
>Usually say something and it makes no sense but they say it like they know what they're talking about
>usually when someones a witness to make you look that much more stupid
>never wrong
>only admissions of guilt are underhanded
Both of the following people I got a verbal warning about working with them within the 1st week. Why they aren't fired i do not know
E.g.
>manager from diff department says needs inspection on lifting fixture
>Go take down info to pass on to inspection service
>get back to my desk
"did (so-so) tell you to inspect [unintelligible]"
>uh i guess
>goes ballistic:
"WE DON'T INSPECT CHEATER BARS"
>wtf
E.g.:
>Different person
>worked for co. for 9 years before me
>we have to load a saw stack
>(1)you enter a program
>(2)put saw on pin stack
>saw is now position one, pos two, and three etc..
>program is also now in position one, two, and three etc.
>machine has always started from the highest listed program because thats the last saw/program you put on
>then makes its way to #1
>dip fuck manager complains that its starting from the highest number saw program
>swear to God he loaded up all the programs at once and then loaded the saw blades he thinks it should be
>wasn't there when he loaded it
>3rd party service tech, and corporate maintenance guy all joked that i'd have to train my MANAGER who trained with me
>National Ops lead wasn't joking when he said i'd have to train him.
are these types of people that common in the workplace? or is it the field i'm in? i work machining as an operator and was thinking about getting an A.S in Manufacturing technology Is it unreasonable of me to not be friends with people who don't use headphones while in public or rooms with strangers? That people with tattoos broke the old covenant and are therefore disgusting to the Lord I often see women complain about their bf asking them what they want to do, or what they want to eat. They want their bf to take the lead. What do girls like making decisions on? >24, still living with parents in Michigan
>Love beaches
>Love warm weather
>Graduating soon with zoology degree
Every bone in my body resonated with California for the four years that ive spent there.
I have zero student debt and the thought that this degree is useless is dawning on me. part of me is thinking i need a better degree; I have the math credits to enter an engineering degree with the first year and a half complete. I don’t know if tech is worth it due to the influx of infinite indians being pulled into the market >I only truly desire a skinny blonde girl
>I only feel comfortable initiating flirting with said girls
>My options are clearly limited
>Many other people are attracted to me
>said people dont initiate flirting with me
>literally have no idea how to get them to do so
>have been rejected too many times to count in the last 12 days months
>haven’t had a gf in over a decade
>have only had sex 3 times in my life, with two women and one man
What am I doing wrong? 6’2 mtf with chad genes. 26, wfh. I shower and exercise and dress fine and eat very healthy. Is it possible I’m just not actually trans? I’ve been questioning for about a year How can I stop seeing women as sex objects? Me and my wife haven’t had sex in almost 2 years. Right after we got married, her dad died in a car crash, and everything shut down. We had sex once after that, then nothing. I tried being patient and understanding, but every time I tried to initiate, she shut me down. Eventually, I gave up. I’ve felt more like a roommate than a husband for a long time.
Two weeks ago, i downloaded Tinder. Last Friday after work, I met up with a girl from the app at a hotel and we fucked. I didn’t go home that night.
Next day I came back and my wife confronted me. Asked where I was and who I was with. I lied and told her i was with a friend. But know i feel bad about the cheating thing. Should i tell her about me cheating? I'm on leave, home for the weekend. I quickly found that not working for 18 hours straight for the state means I have a lot of free time and I am bored.
I have some desire to go outside after mindlessly staring at YouTube for the past 8 hours and playing video games for 2 minutes.
But...
What do I do outside? Aside from just walking around. I'm 28 now, my last girlfriend was a few years ago. I was 26, she was 30. After 4 months dating she completely flipped on me. Her entire personality just changed and she became someone awful. I broke up after a few weeks of her bullshit. That shit left a deep fear in me, until that point I was under the impression people choose poorly their partners, but she was "perfect", her entire persona until she made sure I was planning on staying long term was someone entirely different. The idea of her or anyone being able to pretend to be normal for 1, 2 years, trick me into marriage and changing entirely completely put the fear of relationships in me.
This sucks, I still want a relationship, but I look at my life, at how great everything is going, and I genuinely can't see anything that would be improved by getting a relationship. 
I have a problem and that is that I hate my girlfriend's friends almost as much as those two bastards hate me
The thing starts with the nigga I like inviting me to her group of friends to talk and shit, at first I thought it was a good idea but now I'm starting to regret it. There are a couple of immigrants in particular who have been bothering me since I joined the group, I've tried not to say anything rude out of respect for her, her friends can go back to their country and eat shit. I asked her if she could say something about her friends so they don't bother me, But she tells me to be patient with them and that she has argued with them before and doesn't want to go through that again.
I've tried to be patient with them, but they don't make it easy for me. That pair of communists (one is Cuban and the other Venezuelan) do everything possible to talk shit about me even though I haven't even spoken to them in the first place. I tried to make friends with that pair of chimpanzees and their group of morons but it didn't work
I just hope they don't put any ideas in my nigga's head. I love her so much and I don't want to lose her, my plan in a few days is to leave that bunch of orangutans aside and just talk to my nigga like he was in the beginning if a friend calls me "fat" as a joke because i'm literally overweight, is it a funny joke if i call him "son of a whore" since his mother literally does sex work? 
disclaimer: if you’ll just call me a freak loser with no social life don’t bother replying
a recurring theme in my life is me losing 90% of my friends every year or so, i just fall out with my friends get new ones and fall out with those to because they always do me wrong in some way. i often complain about having no one to hang out with, everyone avoiding me and leaving me out but when people text me i almost always start feeling overwhelmed and ghost them for a couple hours before replying. when they rarely if ever invite me to hang out i make up some excuse to not go because their presence sometimes just irritates me. i feel as if they’re all friends with me just because they want to get something out of me and they all secretly dislike me and talk about me behind my back anyway. i feel like they can’t see any of the things i do for them and are just plain ungrateful. all they talk to me about is their problems and i listen and give advice but when it’s my turn to say something they give me some bs reply like “oh no” so i stopped telling anyone my problems anyway. they get mad at me for the smallest mistakes but i feel like i’m walking on eggshells around everyone to not accidentally upset them. i didn’t even invite 2 of my friends today and was about to take a nap when i got a call that they’ll drop by and initially i was actually excited even if i was exhausted. then they asked if i have any food and i said “no idt so sorry” and they said “oh yeah we don’t really feel like coming actually” out of the blue. i then said “well can you please tell me so i know wether to go sleep or not” and they got mad at me for giving them this response and hung up the phone. am i in the wrong’s and not seeing something or have i had an unlucky streak of finding shit people. i have countless more examples of them doing things like this btw He'll act like he doesn't know anything and acts fragile and dumb
And asks them millions of questions
Soon as they're gone he acts normal again and thinks he knows everything.
Why does this asshole do this,!, I need suggestions for a computer chair. I’m sitting on this shit all day. They can be very expensive so I’d like to hopefully get it right with what I choose. I have a “pars defect” which is essentially a spinal disc fracture or displacement and I am in constant mild pain 24/7. It’s in my lower back. It’s obviously not going to cure it but I would like to find something well known for great and comfortable lower back support. Even something that can recline would be awesome but not required. Alright, so here’s what happened to me. I've been married for 12 years and got two daughters. I'm moving to a new state, so I’m grabbing all the medical records for the new doctor. A buddy’s helping me out and spots something weird. Older daughter has blood type B, but I’m O and my wife’s A. He’s like, “Bro, that can’t be right.”
That stuck with me, so I did a secret DNA test. Boom. Turns out my 11-year-old “daughter” isn’t even mine. Only the younger one is.
Confronted the wife. She just admits it was a one night stand. He says it didn’t mean anything, and it begs me to work it out. Fuck that, I want a divorce.
Here’s what’s messing with me. When I see her now, I feel really weird, I don’t even know how to feel about her anymore. How do you keep looking at the “daughter” you raised once you find out she’s not really yours? Do you keep treating her like your own, or do you start putting distance between you because, deep down, she’s not your blood? >want to learn martial arts
>have foot fetish
What do? 23y old neet here + AUTISTIC, very non-nt
5ft7 and 130lb , i fraud with lifts to 5ft9 outside
I have anxiety because i was bullied in the past a lot.
My anxiety is only and just because i am smaller than other men and that + being autistic is a reason to be bullied, mocked , humiliated instantly.
For example if i was 6ft6 300+ lbs even if i was weird people would be afraid to try something .
So, the question is:
A 5ft9 man with muscle is big enough to have some presence/look dangerous enough ?
I know that this is my only problem because if i see men smaller than me i feel very confident and calm because i instantly know they see me as equal or threat.
i did boxing btw and that didn't help because my problem is the OUTSIDE, i wanna look like i am a threat
I know i can knockout the average guy but that would be jail, that s why i want to look dangerous Why w*men most of the time rule on the relationship with iron fist? I don't know you guys, but most of my friends even the most bastard bend the knee over their gf's.
They quit them time with their friends, they say what to do and what to avoid including their own friends, they basically are their dogs man. They corrupt their minds and make them weak.
You know? maybe the Sharia isn't that bad after all. I found my calling late in life (theatre) at 27 but it’s all I want to be
Is 27 too late to become a b grade actor? I have $14k saved and plan to move to LA but have no connects
No degree either Something weird is happening, I'm getting more attention without facial hair in public than when I was using what I thought was sexy short stubble beard.
Any explanation to this? Are we as men thinking the wrong way about what women actually like? how do i stop hating myself I’m genuinely asking this.
No rich parents, no network, no starting capital, just time, internet access, and a willingness to learn and work hard.
What are real, legal ways people have actually gone from nothing to financial success? Not looking for meme answers like “start a business” or “just invest.” I’m talking specific skills, career paths, or strategies that actually worked for you or someone you know.
Ideally something that doesn’t take 10+ years to even see progress. I know nothing’s instant, just want a path where effort compounds within a few years.
No cope. No pipe dreams. Just practical advice from real people. I get angry at people like women and liberal males because they try to provoke me or annoy me or make stupid subtle jabs at me and im not allowed to act aggressively or my reputation gets hurt and i might get repercussions.
What are some ways i can channel my rage and cope with being confined by society and other peoples bullshit? Just saw a pretty girl with nice highlights fluffing her hair up in front of me in the grocery store today and all I wanted to do was punch her in the face.
Been recently gooning hard AF to bdsm slapping humiliation porn and I'm actually afraid now that it's affected my view of women.
This never used to happen before.
Yes I've had a girlfriend and don't have an issue getting laid.
Also, recently became an alcoholic as well not sure if it's that or the bdsm shit.
Any other bros have experience with this? I regret buying my house and if I really condense my feelings, I just wish for a more minimalist lifestyle. Obviously I need a roof over my head and a mailing address, I just feel stuck in this one place. Kinda wish I could digital nomad, or just get a job in a new city just to experience it.
But I don't know if I just feel that way because it's your typical boomer shitbox with a bunch of deferred maintenance coming due. I thought I'd enjoy handywork but I hate it. I also hate dealing with tradesmen because even the good ones cut corners so you still have to do all the same amount of research to call out their bullshit.
So /adv/ what the fuck should I do? I'm just sitting here dreading all the stuff that needs doing and whatever the next surprise emergency issue is. 
I've essentially abstained for nearly four years from masturbation and porn bar some occasional mishaps. I started at 18 and I'm now 22. However, now that I've emerged a deist from a crisis of faith that came up while I was depressed for a few days about the person I am, I was curious to see how strong my pent-up sexual energy was. To my astonishment I realized that hardcore porn does nothing for me and it even disgusts me and pictures of beautiful girls in lingerie don't do anything either.
Perhaps I might not have fully recovered from those feelings of depression yet. I think the only girl who can excite me is this girl I've had a crush on for over two years and a half now. She also turned out to be a lesbian and we have not really been amicable with each other for nearly two years now. Until recently, I used to get hard while trying to sleep, thought running in my head about the things I would do to this imaginary woman that resembled her figure. I felt depressed after I learned that she blocked me on Instagram for obsessively stalking her with this alt account and I was very ashamed of the idea that I may have made her feel unsafe.
Avoiding masturbation though may have helped me become aware of my body in one way, at least. I've learned that I'm at my horniest near the end of any month. I'll have to see if I'll still feel that horniness in a week or two. Hey guys I am new here. I heard that you guys here are top notch helpers. I would like to get advices from people who have ideas about the worst case scenarios of ai they have created or have knowledge about it. I am new to this stuff and I'm interested so much so that I planned most things with chatgpt and can eup with some counter measures for some problems common alongside solutions suggest by chatgpt itself. I don't trust it fully since it's an ai itself. So I'd like yall thoughts and help too. Any ideas are welcomed. I request your assistance guys How do I get a better high off of cocaine? I was on concerta 35mg for ADD as a kid for five years, every day. Didn’t know what to expect from it since it was I guess the first “drug” I ever took. Would just notice the dry mouth sensation and enjoyment in organizing the shit out of everything. Fast forward 20 years and I will randomly come across cocaine at parties, although not very often. It doesn’t do much for me besides increase my energy maybe a little sometimes a little numbness in the face. I also have nose hairs if I don’t trim for a while, could this be blocking the effects? Not as fun as it looks in the movies. Turns out our potwasher at my work, has been slowly working his way up the ladder at another location and has become a manager.
It only was realize when another staff member went to that location and realize he was equal rank. WE'VE BEEN PAYING A FUCKING MANAGER SALARY TO A POTWASHER 25 HOURS A WEEK, HE DOES 5 HOURS AT ANOTHER LOCATION OF ACTUAL MANAGEMENT WORK.
Everyone treats him like a fucking idiot, because he's the potwasher. I.. i.. i don't know how to realize he's had the wool over our eyes, he's the potwasher. Anons I need your help. What non faggy actually funny games would you suggest for a friend group of 5 to play on a bachelor party? It can be anya activity, something like what they did in the Jackass, but I want to tone it down just enough so that the groom can remain presentable. Is moving to Japan just to marry their women and live out the rest of my days a viable mating strategy? I am a 25 year old neet Should I kill myself since society wants me to die? i made the mistake of dating a woman with not so good history. shes been around the block if you catch my drift.
my question is, do women slowly pull away until they are ready to just let go of it all? because everything was right with us until summer time came around. she dropped me and said she feels nothing for me and then went straight back to the streets and getting into her old habits. makes me wonder if she was just playing a game until she had enough. how do i even move on? i put everything i had into this failed relationship. i just feel lost. just hurts seeing someone you love just walk out and go right into tinder and all this and that the day after. 24. Im gonna give them a try. Yes I know the reality of them and how sub 5s have no chance bla bla but im not very picky and maybe Ill get lucky. Trying wont hurt right?
But what holds me back the most is litreally having no good Pics of myself. Only thing I have are shitty selfies and family pictures taken by my mom
Photos probably dont even matter too much but I still want to maximize the chances wheverever possible
I dont really go out with people after work so I never had chances to take any good photos or let others take some of me. Most of my freetime is spent Drawing or playing Vidya with friend or my brother
So i aprecciate any tips or examples of photos I can try to recreate with someones help >Nothing's more important than love
>You're not defined by your relationship status
Which is true? 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. Any easy/quick ways to sober up from being high? I smoked last nite but still feel it. Last time I did it I felt it for multiple days afterwards. How to have a good profile as a guy? Bio seems the hardest How do I impregnate married women/future wives so I can spread my dna without reading my spawn?
