Avocado toast and Applebees: a guide to wasting all your money in fancy shit according to some, and destroying the restaurant industry by being poor and cooking at home more than previous generations according to others.
>not a real book
>two actual publicised claims about whats wrong with millenials though.
I posted this here before
I made the poor move of "shitting where I eat" and I went on a date with a classmate of mine (she asked me to get lunch with her). We got lunch and I thought the date went well as we made out at the end of it. A couple of days later I asked her to get lunch/dinner again and she gave me a response that showed she clearly wasn't interested ("I'm busy I'll have to get back to you!"). Although it sucks getting rejected I accepted it. However, now things are really awkward; she doesn't talk to me at all (acts unfriendly). Today I had to present to my class and I noticed that she was looking down the whole time I was up there. I'm guessing she is acting this way because she is embarrassed that we made out? How could I go about making things "less awkward?"
I was starting to get paranoid that maybe I didn't read her signals right and didn't want to make out, but seeing as she didn't pull away at all during our kiss I don't think that was the case.

Grad school lol. I have a few drinks in me so my writing probably sounds awkward. Would it be safe to say that she probably just had a change of heart now feels awkward and that is why she is acting like that?

Find something you enjoy and want to work towards I guess
Often or not its just getting on with it and grinding your teeth.
Basically life sucks have fun!
>>
>>18389076
what do you enjoy? do these things enough so that your spirits are generally high throughout the week
use this positivity and energy to do the rest of the shit you dont like
alternatively scroll through fb and 4chan endlessly and sap your energy, leaving none left for your obligations and the more tedious parts of life
>>
Helps to be able to leverage any regret you have about the time you've already wasted in your young life being an inhibited pussy. This should propel you to do at least something with the time left before you hit 40 or WW3, whichever comes first.

tl;dr How do you deal with the fact that there are people out there that love you so much, yet all you ever did was fuck up their lives (as well as your own), because you're a retarded asshole?
I dropped out of school in the second to last week, got fired the day before, and on Saturday broke up with my girlfriend of 6 months. I have no licence, no car, and no money. Almost everything I had was stolen while I lived on the streets for a while, save for a few items I had on me like my phone, wallet and laptop. Now I live on my parents couch. The police were contacted and I was put into a psych ward before I could attempt suicide, and all of my friends are either busy with their lives or are too far away for me to see them. I'm 18.
I can't even accept any sympathy for all this shit, because I literally brought all of this upon myself. I wouldn't have gotten fired if I had communicated better with my job. I wouldn't have had to drop out if I had taken my schoolwork seriously. I wouldn't have had all my stuff stolen if I had just gotten over my shitty family and just stayed at home. I'd also still have a room at my parents house if it weren't for that I would be up there with my friends if I had taken care of the shit that really mattered, instead of taking on way too much for one person.
But the worst of it was my ex. It's like, she worked so fucking hard to make this relationship work, like she put her blood, sweat, and tears into this. Even though she was epileptic, frail-bodied, and soft-spoken, she really really loved me, and she did everything in her limited power to make me happy. And I thought I did the same. But all I ever did was hurt her.

While we were dating, her older sister really hated me, but she but up with me because my ex loved me that much, and that strained their really close relationship. When I got out of the aforementioned psych ward, the first thing I did was text her (this was almost a month ago), and only a few days ago did I learn that when I did that, she had a goddamn panic attack. And when we broke up on Saturday, she was literally bawling her eyes out because she that badly didn't want to break up with me (and I din;t want to break up with her either, mind you), but the stress from her sisters and my whole trying to kms was just too much for her at this point, to the point that she had lost like 20-30 pounds just in this last month. And all she ever did was try to make me happy, and be the best girlfriend anyone could possibly be. And even though I said so many words that showed my feelings for her, every action I made only served to hurt her.
And that right there is the real kicker. I could deal with failing school. I could deal with failing work. But this small girl whom apparently I gave so much happiness too? She was the one thing that I promised myself I would never fail. And I couldn't even fucking do that. So I've been sitting here on my couch, crying about how much of a disgusting bastard I am for a solid day now. I've failed almost everything a man possibly can, and once summer is over, I won't even have my friends (the last thing I have) around. I feel like I wish I had some alcohol around, but if I turned into a drunk, I'd definitely get kicked out of the house for real.
So how about it /adv/? How do you deal with the fact that there are people out there that love you so much, yet all you ever did was fuck up their lives (as well as your own), because you're a retarded asshole?

About two nights ago some of my friends convinced me to get with a girl that one of my other friends is dating. Last night we banged but instead of feeling good about it now i just feel depressed and guilty because her bf is a really good friend of mine. And to make it worse he said that I was his only friend that he was okay with her hanging out alone with, And she is currently pregnant with his child so i basically fucked his kid too. He doesn't know about it, should i be honest with him and tell him what i did or am i being stupid.

You're a cunt and a shitty friend. The guilt will eat at you until you die or tell him what you did. That's all. The suffering will remain until you figure out why it was such a shitty thing to do. Then it will begin to fade but only slowly, and you will always remember it and regret it.

I was in the ER last night because I had a freak accident where my glasses lens spontaneously cracked and sprayed little pieces of glass into my eye. They did this shortly after I put them on and through no fault of my own. Luckily the ER doctor was able to get all the pieces of glass out, but I'm wondering where I should go from here.
Do I file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, and if so, how do I do this? I need advice.

They're call lawyers.

nothing because you most likely signed a waiver of liability when you decided to be an idiot and buy glass glasses in 2017. seriously dude it's like $60 for fully upgraded polycarbonate glasses off eyebuydirect.

I didn't know they even sold glass glasses. I thought that shit stopped like 50 years ago.

Hi /adv/, I am a 26 guy and I am writing here because I have been feeling really low for about three years, now I think that I almost had hit rock bottom.
I started feeling physical symptoms due to the stress of my job mixed with the horrible outside life that I have. Bad dizziness, headaches, sadness, feeling short of breath...
I think that my problems come from two main sources:
- Loneliness: I don't have any friends. My life is going to my job and returning home, and that's all. I lost almost my friends 5 or 6 years ago when I started working here. I spent two years really far of my home and distance, time and other factors did the rest. I only maintain contact with one of them and he has a girlfriend, house and is married so...
The only social life that I have is with job colleagues from time to time. And all of them have their lives: wife, children...
- The other one is not feeling loved or appreciated. This is paired up with the first point. I see that people can make their lives, find a woman, their house, travel... I'm stuck and it's impossible to find anybody. Finding friends is difficult but some girl willing to love me is impossible. I tried online dating apps as a last resort. No luck, I feel worse when I am using them, almost no matches, and when I have them is with girls that I don't like physically or have a shit personality.
I really feel jealous about couples and that is really sad.
I don't know how to get rid of this sensations, I try to find meaning in other things but I can't. I have a good job, I try to improve myself studying, doing exercise... But sometimes, I simply can't do anything, I feel really ill (the symptoms that I told before), tired and sad. And really don't have the strength to do anything and I don't see the purpose of anything.
Thinking about looking for professional help, I don't know what to do to help myself. If anybody knows about, is dealing or have dealt with something similar, I would really appreciate their help.

I've been in the same situation so I know how hard it is and I don't have any magic answers. It eventually worked out for me and I hope it does for you. I believe depression has set in which makes it hard to get motivated and see things in a positive way or ever see things getting better. I also develop panic attacks which forced me to get professional help as I couldn't deal with it any longer. You can try a psychologist which can help you look at things differently and help you see things from a different perspective. Also, you have to get out and do things. That was very hard for me as an introvert. Try to joint groups that are involved in activities. Everybody says exercise but I hated it and it's alone. Join some type of group that does something together. It could be an animal shelter, a charity group, a community group, a church group but something where you meet and interact with other people on a regular basis. There will be your usual misfits but generally there will be a few normal people. If not, move on. I eventually met some friends and a girl I hit it off with. We dated, and got married. I still have issues but I am way better and mostly normal.

Hi /adv/ I could do with some advice/ links to good resources regarding self confidence and self assurance.
A couple of years ago I was working a summer job at a pub/restaurant, I really enjoyed it for the most part, but I had a pretty big 'confidence scar' if you like which really knocked me for 6.
One day we had a new guy in who was younger and inexperienced. We used iPads as our tills and before a sale you have to sign into your account with a PIN, since the lad was new the boss set him up on my account for his first shift.
Whilst taking a food order on a very busy weekend evening the lad got his order wrong, the kitchen cooked the wrong dish, sent it out and when the customers received the wrong food naturally they complained, the lad didnt know what to do and ultimately dealt with it badly.
Next time I went into the kitchen I got an absolute bollocking from the chef, shouting swearing, the whole 9 yards. I just took it on the chin. At the end of the shift once all the customers had gone home the chef was told it wasn't my fault and he apologised - anyone who has worked in a busy restaurant will know how much trouble a tiny error can make, so I always understood the chefs frustrations.
However from this point on I became terrified of making errors, I checked everything atleast 2 or 3 times on the tills, I felt sick to the stomach thinking back on how I may have got an order wrong, my job became exhausting and draining and ultimately I started making lots of little mistakes and after I took a week out for a holiday they stopped offering me shifts so I can only assume they felt I wasn't up to the task.
Fast forward to now I'm working in a Pub, no food this time but having made a couple of small errors on a shift yesterday which all in all probably cost the pub maybe £5 max I've found myself today on my day off thinking back and almost making up things i could have done wrong.
Anyone got any advice or tips?

You got 2 covered. 1 can be trained.

You could maybe join the armed forces? They pay well and you'll have shelter and food for the next 4 years of your life.
As someone doing exactly that though, it is kinda scary and you'll wonder if you're really up for it. Just keep on truckin and you'll be somewhere soon.

look for a 2 bedroom place on craigslist. usually you'll find someone looking for a roommate and it'll be half the cost of the apartments you're looking at.

I guess some information I neglected to add is I've been in a relationship for 3 years now and we couldn't handle that kind of time apart. I need to support her as well, she's the only one supporting me for the last 4 months.

I'm supposed to move in 5 days to a different country (Europe->Europe) to live alone, work and go to university, all in a foreign language.
At first I decided to do that to try and save up money while at uni, I wouldn't be able to do the same in my shitty poor slav country, but holy fuck I'm not ready to do this. I'm 20 rn. Haven't yet gone to uni. The funny thing is, I spent a year not working or doing shit, but learning the language.
I have already arranged a place to live (haven't signed the contract yet), but I haven't got a job arranged. That, and being completely alone there. I'm not social so I don't really care about not having 10 friends, but my family was making up for it.
What the fuck do I do? I hate my country for doing this to me.

I had a similar issue (moving from N. America to Europe). It was difficult for a month, and it's only getting easy months later. I didn't even have a place to stay, much less a job. For a full month before I actually did it I thought I wouldn't, but eventually I found myself on the plane.
You'll get over your fear, and you will appreciate it later. Yes, you could stay. I mean, you would survive, maybe you would do well. But there's more to life than just surviving and being comfortable.
If I had stayed home, I know I would be in a worse place mentally and probably physically. So I'm glad I did it. I don't think you have anything to lose, especially at 20. Learn as much as you can first, then you can decide to say no to the world, knowing you have nothing more to gain from it, instead of saying no out of fear and insecurity.
>>
>>18388393
Which country?
I mean... you can just try it, can't you?
I recommend going to all the normie social events in the beginning. I refrained because I was a teetotaler the first time I tried going to university. And I didn't get to know anyone. And I hated my life for one year, before dropping out and moving back home.
So yeah. Move, but try to socialise. I'm sure everything will work out.
