holy shit I'm so fucked.
I'm trying so hard to unfuck my life but I'm in a sinking ship. any progress made is rapidly being swept away.
like seriously I'm 24 now and it's becoming more and more obvious that I'm going to die alone.
to all young anons unfuck your shit before you turn 20. by the time you've entered your mid 20s then there is just not enough time on your side to save yourself.

at 24, the closest thing I can life to is being in a sinking ship but you only have a spoon to save yourself with. you have to be fucking going overtime all day everyday just to stay afloat.

I'm just so lonely. my only friends are like these 3 people I've known since HS and I never developed the social skills to meet people after + autism. I'm behind in every developmental skill and it's impossible to catch up. my entire life is fucked. I want to meet girls and do fun things but I'm a fucking loser of life

I haven't seen my boyfriend for a week because I have been very sick, and I didn't want him to get sick too. I have coughed so hard that I threw up two, maybe three times.

So, I have just been holed up in my apartment. I joked to my boyfriend that I wished I was the kind of person who read fine literature in these circumstances, but I jacked off 12 times instead. He got all repulsed and said, "TMI".

Am I taking crazy pills? How is it TMI to talk about masturbarion to someone you are fucking on an exclusive basis? Who you have been dating seriously for a year? Who has heard all your embarrassing stories and held you while you cry? After all that intimacy, how is an honest conversation about whacking it too hard to bear?

This isn't the only way he's odd about sex. He straight up doesn't desire it the way I do, to the point that I initiate it every time and he tells a lot of jokes at my expense (not in front of other people) about being "thirsty". It makes me feel like he wants me to feel shitty about wanting sex, like I'm not supposed to be comfortable in my own skin and casual about it. Should I really be getting serious with this guy? Should I really spend the rest of my life having sex with no one but him?

Well apparently you're gay, and someone complaining about know about their partners masturbation is gay as fuck, so apparently everything is normal here

>>18507510
if you are sexually unsatisfied then no, it's a failed relationship from the start.

Some people share a mutual attraction and really respect one another but a dull sex life can and will ruin the relationship. This in most cases can be salvaged fairly easily, but he has to make an effort to be less of a prude, and if he cant do that then it's probably not worth it in the long-run.

I am a woman. There isn't a good female equivalent of that phrase.

Anons, what do you do when all motivation is gone from your life?

I turned 18 a few days ago and now everything is catching up to me in a mass form of regrets.

I had the perfect girlfriend that couldn't have cared for me any more than she did, and due to my mental health and me causing arguments a lot I made the stupid decision of breaking up with her "for her benefit". Totally ruining my own life.

It's been 2 years since then, and I still think about the mistake all the time.

She was also perfect because she was probably the only girl that would ever be interested in me, because I'm just a huge cuck with no outstanding interesting features.

My college work is getting sloppy, my motivation to do my job is as well, and I'm starting to spend nights at my desk with shit music on and drinking away.

What the hell do you do with all your motivation gone, /adv/?

It's really starting to become too much.

Yo, if everything turns around a girl for you, well I've got bad news for you.
How about you fix yourself, or even better, accept your mental state. Try working on that first. And guess what, you won't be able to if you keep your mindset like that. That girl is just a reason you've made up so you can blame whatever is not working in your life on.

>Depression
What I've been told is to continue fighting. I've been told that fighting keeps your brain active and staves off even worse depression. The more you keep active, in spite of the feeling of sputtering out, the more likely you are to succeed and find something that lifts your spirits.

That's the canon atm.

I've made a thread about this already, much less detailed though. But this has been troubling me so much and for so long that I have to say something again. I don't even know whether I'm asking for advice or I'm trying to vent anymore.

My girlfriend and I have been togheter for a month and a half now, its my first relationship and her first relationship. We're both in highschool. The first month went very well, we texted each other every day. She starts the conversation, I try to keep it from not dying. Our texts are pretty chill, but she will ocassionaly get depressed and ask me things like "Why do you keep doing this? How do you not hate me?" and I usually go a long the lines of "It's because I love you, even if you don't believe that." I've said that so many times that I think it's just not special for her anymore. But she never tells me these things, she's never sweet to me. I started to worry somewhat that she doesn't care about me, it was very childish of me. Saying "I love you" and trying to be sweet so much was my first mistake, worrying that she doesn't love me even though she talks to me every day was my second mistake.

She went to vacation for a week and came back. A day or two after she came back she asked me if I wanted to go outside with one of her friends (female friend). I said "Well why not just the two of us?" and she said "well ok, let's do th- OWWW MY HEAD HURTS". I was pissed, I said "You know, we can do your way, but at least be honest to me" but nothing more than that. Later on I realized that there was really no way that she could have told me things like "you can trust me, im not lying" and then say that to me.

We went outside, like she wanted. At first, it was all fine, I was smiling, not saying too much but still. Then we sat down and I put my hand over her shoulder. She didn't really do much but that's fine, we were with one of her friends so it's whatever. Then some kid, maybe like 5-6 years old came and she teased him. I got somewhat angry. We decided to go to some other place. She held hands with that one friend of hers. This is when my blood really started to boil. I was walking either in front or behind of them, i wasn't smiling, my back was slouched, I was starting to get all of these thoughts in my head. Her friend decided to leave, thinking that she was the problem and that we should be alone. She was partially right, but the biggest problem I had now wasn't that.

I was worried that she didn't like me anymore, that she doesn't love me anymore. I have no idea why I acted this way, recalling these moments it seems as if I was a kid on a tantrum, getting angry because I'm not getting what I want. We sat down, just her and I and I asked her

"Did you lie to me yesterday?"
"No."
There was a pause.
"Are you happy, do you want us to break up?"
"No."
Another pause
"Do you love me"
"Ofcourse"

I was on the verge of breaking, I was tearing up, I felt myself falling apart. But it got 100x worse once I got home.

How could I let myself be controled by my emotions so easily? How could I be so childish? These thoughts have been haunting me for days now. They simply won't go away. I feel destroyed, I feel pathetic, humiliated. I want to be a better person, no, a better man, but I acted so childish and instead of letting my logic guide me I let my emotions guide me, which then ended up breaking me. How do I learn from this? How do I stop making this mistake? Will telling her my feelings help me?

I haven't felt this terrible in a long while, anons.

She wants you to dump her because she does not want to go through the trouble of it.
Just do it OP, do what she wants.
These types of people are just going to drain you until you have no more love to give and become an empty husk than they will move on.
It is clear by the way she is acting that she is not into you anymore i just do not get why she is bullshitting about it.

I was sad after a breakup, I led him on, he thinks I like him (I did for like a day lol) and wants to meet in person. I want to avoid this. I guess I'm too pussy to let him down formally. Been trying to piss him off and distance myself in hopes he finds someone more interesting to talk to.

Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.

>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.

>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing.

Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>.

I fucking HATE it, every girl I'm into is into "cute" guys that look more symmetrical, small noses, jawline normal, cheekbones not so high, etc. I want to die with this facial combination, I'll never be cute I'll always be this stupid fucking caricature of male beauty that just creeps people out even more because they expect a dominant man but get a shy neurotic prick, who could pull off being a shy neurotic prick if he was just cute instead of a fucking manly monster


Seriously am I the only one that feels this way? I'm sick of people saying I'm good looking because I have these ugly ass features

I think I am damaged beyond any sane man wanting me.
I'm 24, fit, no tattoos/piercings, I have a nice body, have only ever had sex with one man, but I have a history of family and past relationship abuse and issues which make me sperg out anytime a guy I actually like talks to me.

On top of this, my arms are disgustingly
mangled from self harming, I abuse pills regularly, I recently started using heroin casually. My job is not an honest one, but I have a good savings account and pay all of my own bills.

I want to get clean, but I have no motivation to do so. I hate talking to men irl because they always move too fast for me and turn out to be PUA's.

At this point I just want someone to talk to throughout the day, or hell, even throughout the week, I can't stand overly clingy attention.

Am I beyond ever getting a man like this? Will any sane man ever have anything to do with me?

you think that the problem is your past and the way you feel about things, but the problem is your behavior obviously

>will any sane man do anything with me
not until you change your behavior
>>
How fit?
>>
I want to stop my current behavior, and I think simply having someone to talk to would help a lot. But anytime I start talking with someone I like, they eventually notice the awful things about me and run for the hills, which makes me relapse harder. I've been in and out of rehab, and have talked to men when I have been clean with a straight head, but heartbreak kills me and I relapse. I know its pathetic. I don't think that my past is the problem and I know its my behavior, I only mentioned my past because it is a main factor as to why I get anxious when talking to good men. I guess I should have left it at " i get anxious when talking to men".

Never had a birthday party before. Never had many friends. Socially-awkward loner khv geek.

This past year, I've made an effort to overcome my social anxiety and become a normal person. I've made some friends and acquaintances, so seeing as I turned 23 recently, I think I might try a birthday party this year.

I looked at the number of people I wanted to invite, and it was ~20. That seems a bit too large for a pub or restaurant thing. People won't be able to hear what's going on at the other side of the table, and will inevitably break into groups of four and talk to the three people nearest to them for the rest of the night. Seems to defeat the purpose of a party.

I live with my parents, so I can't have a house party. Not that they wouldn't allow me (they would probably be happy that I was finally doing something social), but it would just be uncomfortable to party with mom around, you know?

I feel like it'd be kinda leech-like to ask a friend if I could use their place for a party.

What else can you do for a birthday with that many people?

I want you to stop thinking for a whole moment. stop thinking about the downfalls and the pitfalls and the what ifs, and the 'thats not cools' and anything rmeotely negative.

instead of thinking in consequence think right now, what would you like to do? do you want dinner?? do you want a house party? do you want a pub? or do you want lasertag?
>>
>>18507026
I'm 29 and most of my birthdays consist of going to get dinner with some friends and then hanging out at home drinking. You're still young so partying it up is viable and I suggest you do so. Throw parties, go out to bars, etc.

That being said, a good friend wouldn't mind hosting a party at their house. I wouldn't mind it if a friend asked me if I could host it at my house especially if I knew most of the attendees. Have activities planned that everyone can play (drinking games are great for this) or just accept that your party is more of a kickback and less of a "party".

Hey /adv/, I just finished college last month with a History major.

I got a 45k debt, and I'm planning on studying to get my teaching credential within the next 2 years.

Problem is, I need to find a job to make ends meet at least for the next year. I don't know what to look for as my only previous work experience was as a security guard at large events like concerts, at my uni's kitchen, and an internship I had in a museum's education department that I might not get a rec from cause I was dumb with my networking there.

What types of jobs should I look for, I just want something that pays above minimum wage, and hopefully as far away from the food industry as I can.

I'm also not very /fit/ so hard physical labor is out of the question

>whats the most reliable way to lose weight

there are literally only two ways to lose weight outside of surgery.

>Diet
>Exercise

Diet is the most effective but as a general rule, you use both. this is not news to you, you know this, you just dont want to diet and exercise.

get your meals down to 1500 calories a day. then run for about 20 minutes as well
>>
CICO, keto, intermittent fasting
>>
>>18506981
>the commoner
the commoner probably has a few things up on you, namely not being a 4chan boy

>my past rest in piece
stop talking like an anime and use specifics. language is supposed to convey information, not general vibes bro.

>the most reliable way to lose weight
-eat small meals frequently if you are exercising
-eat small snacks frequently *and that's it* if you are inactive

There you go. There are the keys my man. If you want to talk more about your past, please be specific.

Also, I don't want to seem patronizing here, but here's a tip you might need.

Good
>I enjoy watching anime.

Bad
>Anime is superior to western media.

One makes you sound like an enthusiast with special hobbies and the other makes you sound like an undesirable.

You might be thinking
>Losing weight is not as simple as you put it
but yes it is. It definitely is. I'm gonna restate.

If you are exercising: several small meals
If you are not exercising: several small snacks

If you don't eat the goddamned excess calories then the goddamned weight goes away. Eating more frequent meals keeps metabolism high. Two meals a day at 700 cals might not even lead to weight loss, whereas four or five meals a day at 300 cals will almost certainly lead to weight loss in anyone who has heard of going for a walk.
