Life is just starting to seem like it's all about learning how to say goodbye to the people and things you love.

I agree. Just had to break up with my girlfriend after 2 1/2 years. I guess that's how life goes...

I'm looking for good selfhelp books/pdfs's/articles
to basically help me understand and get girls or improve confidence but without it forcing me being a obnoxious PUA douchebag. I have read book of pook in the past and it's pretty good so similar stuff to that.
I have also read no more mr nice guy but i don't think i'm a nice guy the way that book describes i'm just genuinely nice but i also do think about myself and my own needs.
Why i am researching this is because i have noticed a pattern. The 2 girls i dated both ditched me for another guy and gave me the no feelings but you are lovely and nice bs. Of course it's a numbers game but still i want to improve.

once women see that your'e well off, you'll be flooded with them
remember that hard work does pay off and a lot of 30 year old, slightly used ofc, women await :^)

>>18697196
Well maybe my question was phrased a bit shallow. The good thing about book of pook how it was mostly focused about improving yourself and not just getting women. So basically more of that stuff

I've never met a person I really came to like, outside of a professional setting and not involving sex. I fell in love with someone once, but from a detached perspective they seem to be one of the worst people I've ever known. I have a few friends who are very good to me, but they all treat themselves and/or others like shit, so my opinion of them is not high.
Nobody is claiming we have to like everyone. Misanthropy and cynicism are generally accepted views. And yet, you'd think I would find *one person* to really like. Sometimes I imagine that the old lady across the street is a very good person, or maybe that little guy in work clothes who passes me at the grocery store. Maybe there are some fantastic people I just haven't met yet.
Does anybody here relate? It hurts pretty bad to dislike everyone that I have ever met. It feels depressing.

Now they won't shut the fuck up about how much it sucks.

>anybody relate ?
Somebody definitely does.
You should just go somewhere and meet people. Most of them may seem like retards to you but chances are that at least one of them is nice and you'll have a new friend. It is worth it in the long run, right ?

I got a new job that I'm really excited to start and learn at, it's an aromatherapy / natural wellness products store and has quite a bit of perks.
Problem is, i gave my current job notice last week. I'm scheduled in till Sat. I just got an email from new job saying my training is this Fri & Sat both conflicting times with my other job.
The owners at my current job are kind of manipulative and weird and i know they will make me feel really bad tomorrow if i tell them about the dates. Thing is, these people suck and I'm leaving for serious reasons.
We never get paid on time/ i have to remind them to pay us (owner seriously told me it's not his responsibility and not to ask him) , never get pay stubs, there's no fire extinguisher (cooking goes on every day) and we get paid min. wage and do tasks that are NOT worth min. wage. They say they need me to come in bc they're short staffed but cut everyones hours 50%.
I'm really stoked about my new job. In this case, do you guys think it's okay to just *not show up* for my last two shifts?

If they have that many blatant labor law violations, document them and take them to your local department of labor. Or document them and threaten to do so to your soon-to-be former employer. I
You could send the authorities an anonymous question if what they are doing is legal. If you get an official answer, then you have something to blackmail them with.

Wtf yes you dolt. Fuck that shit boss you have.
Don't let people like that take advantage of you.

Long story short /adv/, I just found a job, and I need to move to a different city and find a room there to rent. That said, I'm very nervous, since this is going to be the first time that I've done anything like this. Leaving the family nest, and all that.
I'm mainly concerned about having housemates. I'm 28, and I did live with about ~5 people during my time in college, in dorms. It was mostly fine, except for 1 guy during second year who cared very little about personal hygiene and stuff, and I just had to move the hell out of there. The rest of them were okay.
Anyway. I don't really feel like I want to live with anyone. I mean, it's not like I can afford renting a house by myself, but still. I feel like that time of my life - with people blasting loud music, watching tv in the background, sharing bathrooms, having to carefully tiptoe around not to bother anyone is over.
I also find silence very important and people being noisy in general fucking drives me up the wall. The other thing is, as I grew older, I guess I also grew more distrustful. Rooming with other students is one thing, but rooming with random people seems really scary.
On the other hand, I did like a lot of my roommies, and I did enjoy spending time with them. And living alone seems....lonely. And sad. A bit scary too.
What should I do?

Suck it up and live with roommates? You said it yourself, you can't afford to live on your own, so what choice do you have?
>>
>>18697166
Not much. I guess I could go to work by bus, but that would mean a 2 hours long commuting session every single day. But I feel like that is inhumane.
>>
You've cohabited with others and mostly liked it. Go do it again. Move in with your girlfriend instead, once applicable/available. Virtually nothing you can do will save you more money than sharing rent.
If you really, really don't want to do that, and can't afford to rent a house, rent an appartment instead. WTF do you even need a house for, if you live all alone.
If an appartment is also out of your price range, look for ever smaller appartments until finding one you can afford, or until you must conclude that having a roommate is literally your only choice. What kind of bullshit job did you get? You must be able to afford _something_ if its worth moving for.
Having roommates can be a huge advantage when first arriving in a new city, because they multiply your social contacts. I regret not having had some when I went to Uni.

Dad drinks and calls me names, denies the fact that he does it, just like my Mum-- she makes me feel insecure about my body, yet I have an amazing, loving partner who tells me I'm beautiful, kind, etc. But, I can't help but feel like I'm nothing what she says; my parents say 'I think I know everything' and such, and they call me arrogant each time I try to stand up to them. My siblings also treat me like asshole, call me names, too... I'm not a complete dickhead, I don't think I am anyway :^)
Any advice on how to help my parents come to a sensical conclusion on how to treat me equally?

Wow, thanks

Your Dad is an Alcoholic, your mother is codependet or/and has a full blown mental issue herself, they are verbally putting you down and then deny it ever happening - a common tactic of emotional abuse in dysfunctional families, leaving me certain even from your short description that your family is, indeed, dysfunctional. Families of alcoholics are prime textbook examples for such damaged family systems.
Read up (google) on dysfunctional families, their common patterns and the roles the children can fulfill in these families - you'll almost certainly identify with one of them.
There is no way to make your parents come to sensical conclusions. There is no way to *really* help them and fix your family. If you feel obliged to "help" them, as many children do in such circumstances, stop feeling like that. They'll deny that anything is wrong with them. It will accomplish nothing except hurting you more. Fixing them is beyond your power.
Here is my advice: GTFO. Build your own social network of functional human beings. You have an amazing partner, so you've got at least some things going for you.
Learn about the patterns. Learn how it hurts you, learn to fend off damage. Don't let it get to you. Decide to be healthy instead.
Godspeed, Anon.

So I just want to learn math from the beginning, as if I had no previous experience. I want to do it to revise some old stuff and then continue learning.
So assuming I have no previous experience, where do I start?
I'm on a budget, so best would be free tutorials online (or cheap courses like thegreatcoursesplus) or math books that I can get from a library. I live in Estonia so there isn't a huge selection of books at the library, but there certainly are many (the library is pretty big with at least 100 000 books).
I hope to learn everything up to the high school level, and if I like it, I'll continue. Truth is, I'm not too familiar with the maths map, so not familiar with the specific terms (algebra, calculus etc).
Would also be great if you could share your maths learning experience, or some tips for learning.

download pdf of some highschool text book, learn up till precalc stuff or whatever u like really
you could follow syllabus of some tests and take that test later just for motivation (sat, ap,o level, ib program etc
good to get a personal tutor at a local university. if you don't have basics in math, learning alone is hard for some people.

>>18697118
Why do you want to start again, though?
I'd use youtube tutorials lmao, you can find some shit on there

Hey guys,
a problem i have among several others (depression, anxiety etc.) is to find new stuff. I listen to the same podcast since years, and am mad when there is nothing new there ( i just recently realized this). The first bands i found i stick to (Metallica, Megadeth)... and i have a hard time finding new bands or music, even though i want to. This is a really weird question because you might ask me why i don't just google them or something. I know, that might be easy, but its not actually for me, and googling and stuff is less rewarding than one would think. I dont know how people find stuff they like in the internet, where basically all of human mind is saved. When people showed me stuff in the past, when i had more human contact, i could get very excited and clinge to those, music, games, whatever, more than they would. I play the same games. I visit the same websites. I want to induldge in a topic, but i feel like i know everything and am not very curious and excitable, in fact im very close minded.
I would like to know how you come about new stuff in the internet, how your paths look like. If your environment tends to stay the same or if it shifts. I hope someone can relate to this, i know its weird, but its very real.

Hey OP, you nailed exactly how I feel sometimes. I work a long job, days out in the field, and my playlist gets old real quick. I like Pandora because at least it introduces you to new artists in a vein similar to what you like. But the big issue is, you need to build the motivation to explore and find aspects of new things that are interesting. It's a journey, but one that is rewarding in the long run.
>>
Well the music one is easy, use pandora. It'll recommend similar stuff. I found a lot of new songs (or new to me at least).
Should I be worried about Irma?

If you're going to stay, make sure you have enough food and water to last around 3 weeks, preferably a month. Worst case happens and you don't get killed, you're going to have to live without power or water for a long ass time.

I am a journalist investigating the link between porn addiction and eventual child porn consumption.
I believe there is an issue around escalation to increasingly extreme material – leading some men, who might not be padophilic by nature (assuming some men are), to seek out child pornography.
Does anyone here have any experience of this? And if so, would you be willing to answer a few questions via email (anonymously of course) or write about your experience ITT?

I think it's a matter of morals, or course if the regular shit gets boring, you might try to change it up with something unique or different, but usually I just end up back at the regular shit anyway. Some people might take it to that extreme, but I don't think such a habit directly leads a person to do something so disgusting.

I have to do work that involves sitting at my computer, at home. For now I am a NEET, and if I wish to no longer be a NEET, the work I produce at my computer needs to be top shelf.
The thing is, starting from when I was about 13, I learned to use the computer monitor as a sort of barrier. I sat there for hours just not doing anything but enjoying the comfort and the safety. I played games, read manga, watched movies, even studied on my own, anything that gave me something to do behind the computer screen.
Now, this work I am doing, it is not exactly giving me a sense of safety. It involves problems that require a lot of time and drafts to go through and most of all, focus. Focus that is so hard to have when everything that offers safety is just a click away, but I dont think thats the problem. If that were, I would try those siteblockers or selflocking apps but I know those will fail. It is because I feel too safe behind the computer screen. I want to return it to just being an object. I think I made my computer a replacement for my mothers arms.

wow it's almost like the human body feels weaker without proper sleep
>>
>>18696636
I don't know usually people don't sleep and feel fine. You should go to the doctor.
>>
>>18696636
Because sleep is required for the toxins in your brain to flush out and make your brain ready and clear for a new day.
It's not sure in which sleeping phase this exactly happens afaik, but generally just getting a good amount of sleep will set you up for good things.
