I honestly don't know what I want to do in life. And I'm nearly 30. It's kinda depressing. I see all my friends back in highschool having kids, purchasing their own homes, many becoming doctors, lawyers and engineers. And I've become nothing.

I got a college degree, but nothing to show for it but debt. I worked in the civil sector, but after a major incident I'm likely never to get a job in it again. Is there such a thing as an enjoyable job that you can have, without being the a part of the working poor? I'm barely able to cover costs each month. I'm applying for jobs and I actually have a second interview for one coming up. It's an extra 6k/yr, but I'll lose health benefits, it's risky and also not in a field I care about at all. Course, I don't care about any field at this moment either.

I'm just frozen with how to proceed after not doing anything for so long and life proceeding without me.

I'm in dilemma. I'm 20 years old, go to college for a good major, have two jobs, live away from parents. People say I'm cute, sociable and super smart. Yet, I have never had a girlfriend, never kissed or held hands with a girl. I've asked out more than twenty girls, and a couple of them agreed to go on a date with me. None of the dates went further than that. All the girls that I went on a date with didn't like me or thought of me as 'just a friend'.
What am I doing wrong? I feel desperate and lonely.
/adv/, you're my only hope!

How should I seek help about thoughts of suicide? I'm worried I'll be sent to a mental hospital. I would rather kill myself than humiliate myself and my family by being institutionalized. Can I just go to a psychiatrist or psychologist and say that I've had this of suicide without getting sent to a mental hospital? Will they help me?

You are better off discussing it here honestly...
>>
>>18450708
I think I need medication honestly. I've had thoughts of suicide every day for about two years but within the last 4 months, the thoughts have gotten so persistent that I am thinking of killing myself non-stop. It interferes with every aspect of my life and I have nothing in my future I look forward to anymore.
>>
how serious are those thoughts?
imve been to therapy and admited to suicidal tendencies and it was never a question to institutionalize me. i guess it depends on the circumstances. anyways, if they think you should be institutionalized, they might be right, yknow...

Friends with benefits. Already I know I'm off to an idiotic start, /adv/.

In short: we had the talk about catching feelings. There is something there; we both like each other as more than just friends. He cannot do a relationship because of a previous breakup gone bad, and I have the emotional bandwidth of toaster strudel/am a huge fucking workaholic. On paper, FWB sounds like the perfect setup for our situation. But since learning that he has other sexual partners/he may not be using protection with them, I've felt all kinds of...I don't know. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous, but this is FWB. The clearest option is to let this go. Just stop sleeping with him if it bothers me this much. He can replace me, and I can disappear into my work. But I really like having him around, and it's making pulling the plug on this whole scenario all the more difficult.

Is there another way, /adv/? Or am I just being an idiot?

King of keks

I have to get hemorrhoid surgery in a couple days. Have any of you had to get this surgery before?

Also I was an autistic retard when talking to the doctor after he looked at my asshole. I keep thinking about it and it makes me want to die.

Buy an attachable toilet bidet it's cheaper than surgery and a lot less invasive
>>
>>18451954
It also doesn't solve the problem.
>>
>>18452099
Haven't been through the surgery myself, but I was fortunate enough to have a nice middle aged lady and a hot intern stare at my asshole a couple of weeks ago only to tell me "lol idj bro ur jus butthurt here's some cream to shoot up your ass and hope it gets better".

From what I was told at the hemorrhoid clinic they can usually be lasered pretty effectively. It burns for a few hours, but you keep applying the lidocaine cream to it and it aint no biggie. Ask your doctor if this is an option for you. It's much less invasive. If not then you probably have swollen internal hemorrhoids and it's going to be quite unpleasant. Bring a good gf or mommy to hold your hand. No, seriously. It makes it a lot easier to come to terms with when you've got someone who cares about you there to encourage you through it, because it is so unpleasant. Good luck.

I feel like I shouldn't be alive. I've had some extreme fatigue for 2+ years now, and I haven't gotten anywhere going to several different specialists. I can barely feed myself, and showering is almost an accomplishment at this point. It probably doesn't help that I've barely been interested in food for most of my life (am somehow no longer underweight).

I don't have any IRL friends and only a few online friends. I've graduated college with reasonable skills and got work immediately out of college but couldn't keep the job due to the fatigue I developed and haven't thought about working since. I have a few hobbies, but they require energy, friends, and/or money to do; and I obviously am lacking most of those.

The only major reason I'm still around is that my mom would be crushed if I died, and I don't want her to have any more stress than she already has. What should I do, /adv/?

PS I was depressed in the past and got over it; anti-depressants do nothing for me.

try something you haven't tried before: TCM; Ayurvedic medecine - find the best you possibly can afford and be prepared to travel.

Go on a water/juice fast for a week or 2.

If conventional wisdom hasn't don anything, then start trying all the stuff you haven't even thought of.

above all, try and force yourself to be active, even if it feels like it will kill you. Good luck.
>>
Vitamin D (sunlight) for the fatigue.

Cut down on the junk food, and get the full 8 hours of sleep.

Get out of your comfort zone daily. Go outside and interact/catch up with people you know. Hell, invite them to lunch!
>>
I've been finding that a lot of things in life only blossom through long-term commitment. Boring things like weekly correspondence, showing up to coed sports or dinner parties, or volunteer places even when you don't feel like it. Basically just keeping things in motion. I've burnt myself out quitting things too early... it's not that I didn't have the discipline, I didn't think that some of these things were worth it or would ever be worth it.

If it is legitimate fatigue, you might try meeting with a psychologist and getting a prescription for adderall. I was on that for ADD and it did wonders for me.

Anyways, hang in there OP. You seem like a nice, compassionate guy. The world needs more people like you. I hope you find something that gives you a sense of fulfillment and purpose, I'm sure there are lots of things you can still do.

Okay let's be honest, am I ugly ?

I asked a someone to take a picture of me (after working for almost 7 hours).

The thing is that I've been talking to different girls (almost every day) and I've been getting rejected frequently.

I admit I'm the problem and these girls might think I'm ugly/unattractive.

Should I focus on myself and improve my looks, before I try to talk to another attractive girl ?

My conversations basically consist of:

>I ask her how her day was.

>Then I tell her how my day was.

>I mostly end the conversation because I have no idea what to say next or she just walks.

>Sometimes I ask her if she's going to an upcoming festival.

>Very few of them say 'yes' and then I offer them to hang out with me and my friends (during the festival) and they say 'no'

>Lastly, sometimes I ask them to watch a cool new movie with me, a few of them say yes and give me their number, but they never show up.

>I admit I'm the problem and these girls might think I'm ugly/unattractive.

>I mostly end the conversation because I have no idea what to say next or she just walks.

There are two ideas here. I don't think it's about looks.

Also, do you ask random girls out? That will always give you an above average number of rejections.

How can I lucid dream?
/adv/ I've been trying to lucid dream for three years now, but none of the methods I've used worked.
>Binaural beats
>Finger Induced Lucid Dreams
>Lucid dream timer
Are there any other methods I could try? Or is lucid dreaming a false idea, made up by monks and hooded men?

Lucid dreaming is a meme.
You don't even feel like you're asleep because you know that you're asleep and it just feels like you're awake. You may as well just close your eyes and imagine shit.
>>
Just keep researching it all day. Think about what you would do in a lucid dream. Research techniques for lucid dreaming. Talk about lucid dreaming. And then it will most likely happen.

Binaural is probably bs btw. The timer should work, but the big thing is you have to believe you can do it.

As you're falling asleep try really hard to stay conscious. You might feel your whole body start to tingle and have some weird sleep paralysis but you just gotta not freak out. I've done it like 5 times in my life.

I've come to truly despise humanity at large, but I still paradoxically feel the need to connect with others.

Before anyone decides I'm going to go full slasher on everybody, you're wrong. I have no desire to hurt anybody, just a very deep-seated disgust for people and how they treat each other.

What do?
(Yeah, yeah. Call me an edgelord all you want.)

realize you arent paradoxical. conflicting feelings does not equal paradox. everyone hates all the bad things about humanity but we all still want to have people in our lives.
>>
>>18450492
Same. I hate the ever living fuck outta people. Yet since I'm human I have a need to be around them. It's annoying cause I do very well on my own but there are certain times where I need interactions that I don't even want but need cause my social levels have gotten low. I do better with one on ones. I hate the masses and I have a very deep seated disgust for it
>>
>>18450492

How can you despise those that you don't know?

you don't need to love everyone, just give them a chance to be. Not everyone is an asshole, but by starting off from a position of conflict you'll never get to see that.

Should there be a sticky on /adv/ for general advice that's given here?
Like get fit, go outside, and get a hobby?
7 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Yes could we get a discord as well?
>>
I think so... i'm getting tired of reading posts that are similar stories on other threads every few hours.
>>
>>18450459

you can manage your own discords but there are no 'official' board discords. most of the people who would use the discord are givers of advice as the askers tend to be transient users from other boards who couldn't discuss their problems there. but you cannot 'advertise' the discords here. you coud link to them in other threads if relevant, but spamming it would also result in a ban.

>>18450461
>>18450451

while I do think a sticky would be good for at least setting up some in-board rules about etiquette, and having links to some bigger texts can be helpful it wont stop people from posting at all. people will ignore it and even those who read it will still say 'but i tried that sutffs so im gonna post a gain cuz my problem is more unique'. ultimately this would just lead to more arguments than anything.

id like a sticky letting people know that you /arent/ allowed to ask for advice on how to kill your self, to make sure that threads asking the opposite gender for advice are restricted to their general, and maybe some little resource links at the bottom.

while we could post some REALLY good advice in the thread people are less likely to take it if it doesn't feel like its tailored to their specific problems. they come here because they need to work out what is wrong, even if its as generic as everyone elses problems.

to go too far with a sticky would just destroy the intent of the board.

i do think more generals might help though. a relationshit thread would be ideal for me.

My parents keep telling me that I should never watch anime, read manga, read any politically incorrect book, or listen to any music other than pop and hip-hop because if I get accused for a crime wrongfully, it would all be considered evidence for me being "weird" and then this would taint the family name.

She actively digs through my PC and phone to find something that rubs her the wrong way so she can threaten to kill me, throw me out, etc. I'm trying to move out but she constantly interferes whenever I sign up for driving lessons, look for a cheap car and so on. I work around 55 hours a week and go to community college.

How do I move out and get the street smarts to live on my own so this shit can stop?

How does she interfere with your driving lessons and such? why are you telling her when you sign up?
>>
>>18450388
working 55 hours per week even minimum wage is more than enough to get your own place and cover all monthly expenses. Check craigslist and look on the map for places between your work and community college and either take a public bus, uber, or bike between them.

I have been working in big rig warehousing my entire life, 24 yr old. Coming up on 6 years. Been getting raises of a dollar every year and currently make 15 an hours plus bonus of 2-300 every month and whatever overtime. I could get more overtime but whatever. I like who i work with and who i work under. I've never had a real problem at all. It's also my first job. It's not easy and you have to be strong, work with mainly all men, theres only 4 women in the entire department out of about 50 people total. The warehouse is a hard enviroment cause its in the desert so its always hot, and when the swamp coolers go on it gets extremely sticky. Humidity around 70-80s

However a new career path has opened up to me. I've always loved computers since i was 12 and i feel i have a real knack for them, was my first hobby. I taught my friends how to overclock, build, maintain their rigs when i was younger. I enjoy helping people and i have been a teacher to quite a few. The new position is desktop support, basically helpdesk. Run around fixing printers and bullshit like that. Its a salaried position and im pretty sure i would be making less than i am now as i do not have any certs or a degree. But it could open the door to becoming a sys admin or network admin later down the road which would pay big bucks and im pretty sure i would enjoy.

What should i do? Should i brush up on my A+ or should i keep playing the game from where im at?

do you like your job now?

would you like it more if you changed careers?

would you be okay financially during the transition period?

if the last two answers are yes, go for it.
>>
i like it. consistent raises. enjoy who i work with. i guess moneys ok but ive never known anything else. come from a non college family.

the transition will suck ass. i basically go to bottom bitch again. financially ill be fine.
>>
I would switch.

Reason being, you won't always have your health. Your back could start acting up and cause you to step down. Or you could get in a car crash, and months of therapy could limit your ability to work as the warehouse guy. And there will come a day where you wont be able to push your body as hard as the younger warehouse guys.

This computer job seems very laid back. Just something to consider.

Like when I was a kid, i loved when it snowed cause my mom would let me go door to door and shovel. I could shovel like 8 houses in a day and make like $200-$300 a day. Now when it snows my back acts up mid way and i barely finish my own house.
