Is there anything very bad about taking a year off after high school?
If I were to take a year off after finishing HS, then apply to college/uni, would everything be the same as it normally would be if I were to apply to college/uni right after finishing HS?
Are there any problems with going to college/uni a year later than other students? Or would the only actual difference be that I may be a year older than other students in my classes
It will be fine. A year of difference is nothing and there's a lot of returning students that are even older. It's NBD
It'll mean that you're more sure of what you want to study. I've also read that people who struggle in high school who take a gap year are more likely to do better than those who don't

taking the year off is recommended as long as you don't stagnate. I highly recommend picking up a part-time job for some experience and opening a savings account.
What are your favorite date ideas?
Also, how am I supposed to get there if I don't have a car
Coffee shop.
Take a bus or walk pal.

Comedy club
they serve alcohol and food
you have opportunities to talk, but it is well broken up by the show
you often get to find out what level of 'offensive material' the other person can handle
comedy can yield philosophical insight and discussion
If the comedian is funny, it ensures you both have a good time.
bowling
bus, cab, walk
I'm always scared of losing control over my actions. I think this is mostly an irrational fear, because I don't think the few situations I've done something I immediately regretted actually matter that much, but still, I am scared. It has been like this for a long time, but as of late I started to exaggerrate it a lot, and I've been thinking about it more and more. Now it's almost summer, so we started to open up the windows and, well, I have no reason to do so and I don't want to, but seeing how easy it is to jump out and kill myself scares me and now I'm constantly thinking about it. I could jump out at any moment. Maybe I get angry and I do it in an impulsive irractional moment where I lose control. I'm not scared of the height, this is just one example, and the one that is bugging me the most right now.
Again, I don't think I have ever actually lost control, but I'm really scared. And now that I can't stop thinking about it I'm also scared that having a constant reminder like this would make me more likely to do it.
I probably just need to stop thinking about it. What can I do?
Sounds like intrusive thoughts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_thought
I'd suggest maybe seeing a therapist about it, if it's getting too bad and causing you distress.

Is asking a girl you like to join you on a family trip to the beach too much for a first outing? It will be an overnight trip.
>>18385801
yes.
>>18385801
Yea little too much. Wat if she's a lesbian. Gonna be a long weekend
>>18385801
Anything that is isolating and overnight is too much for a first hangout unless you are the girl.
Unless going to the beach is hard for your region.
Also if you are a 9/10 then that is acceptable also but I feel like you wouldnt be asking this question if you were.
How to deal with the following after cheating:
>personal stories related to below are very much appreciated.
1. How to talk to the person you cheated with afterwards? Said in the morning it would be best to not have contact for a bit to get my mind straight, but not sure now if it would help in some way when I talk to her about the situation and that night. I live far away from home atm so don't think a relationship is gonna happen.
2. Talking to (certain) friends about this? Don't want everyone to know but feel like I should ventilate to someone close to me. Trying to here right now and hoping you guys can help me with my concerns.
3. Of course breaking up asap, but how when we still have an apartment for 5 more months? We live in a different city far away from friends and family, so pretty much only have each other.
Cheated on my (2y long) gf(23) for the first time by having sex with a girl that I(25) have almost kissed with a year earlier and saw last Friday while going out..
Living together since February and since the last few months I was occupied most of my time with doubting our relationship and thinking if i'm making the right decision by settling or not, considering its my first solid relationship and I don't feel like I'm ready yet to live permanently together..
Because of this thinking and searching up stories, I feel like the love slowly started to fade away from my side, while she is still very much in love.
This never happened to me before and i consider myself a loyal partner, but this took a complete 180 degrees turn because the relationship felt on the edge for me and the doubt messed with my mind. As in already thinking of how and when to break up. Feel like I let this happen somehow to reach the last straw or so..
Willing to greentext the story if interest and people are willing to help my confused heart out in this sticky situation.
>>18385792
I didnt read your whole post but mistakes are choices also.
You should at least give her a heads up that you want to break up so she can save money.
Dont make excuses for why you cheated.
I was unhappy in a relationship and cheated but I dont pretend like what I did was okay.
You should have been either working on fixing your relationship or breaking up with your girl.
>>18385792
You really need to be honest with yourself about why you cheated.
Often it is because you want out of the relationship but you are too cowardly to admit it or do it.
Otherwise if you want to save the relationship, you should tell her. At this point the odds are against you. its not impossible to salvage, but will likely take her says 2 or so years to actually forgive you, if ever. Consider this carefully.
also fi you hide it from her, it'll probably come out anyways eventually, then you're totally fucked cause you hid it for so long.
good luck
>>18385844
The problem isn't forgiveness, it's the loss of trust. I cheated on my wife and she never trusted me again. It erodes the marriage. We're still together but don't have sex (we're older anyway). But I'm still cheating.
How can I fuck hot chicks if I'm ugly, without being rich?
I've already worked on most of the things I can change, and I still end up below average. That's fine, that's who I am and I can't change that. I'm also like 5'4 or something...
I'm quite /fa/ now, which has actually helped a bit. I only get laid like... once every year if I'm lucky... and it's always ugly/fat chicks. I can't be fucking 4/10s the rest of my life, I need an 8/10 that will fuck me for free, I'm not interested in prostitutes
>>18385757
rape mostly.
>>18385757
You can't.
>>18385757
get ripped
get rich
develop skills that chicks like (like being an awesome musician, or artist)
if all else fails, go get a sexy hooker with all that money you now have
As a female how the hell do I decrease my sex drive? I have a bf and we have sex almost everyday and sometimes twice a day and when hes at work I masturbate at least once or twice but sometimes I masturbate like 4 times. Even though I have sex regularly and masturbate regularly I still find myself not being content with it and its getting annoying honestly. When I was first starting puberty I had this problem for a few years, being super horny all the time but then it stopped and I just had a normal sex drive. However, me being horny all the time has come back recently these past few months and I have no idea why. I keep also having sex dreams a lot too nearly every night this past week.
Is there something I can take or eat or do to stop being so horny? I'm also not sick of having sex with my bf either, so I dont think boredom in my relationship is a problem. I'm 21 btw.

I get very anxious when I lose in games. Anxious and have anger issues, the other day I actually harmed myself when hitting my palm when I got angry over the game.
And I feel very bad because I spent $70 in the one pictured. Because I thought "oh gee, im sure itll be fun, ill just take it easy and improve slowly", but I'm just a rager and get very depressed over it
I feel like I need to invest time in the game to make it seem like I didnt waste the money
I should just quit competitive games altogether, right? I feel like i have no cure, i've been like this in varying degrees for 6 years or more
I feel the same dude. I also hate how all my friends are always better than me and I feel like I hold them back
If you're physically harming yourself because you occasionally lose in a game then you should take a break, clear your head and occupy yourself with something productive. After a week of not playing, come back to it and see how you react. I also used to play fighting games competitively (street fighter, mostly) and I would also get really annoyed at myself for losing or not completing a combo but I didn't harm myself over it. have you ever taken part in a tournament in person? it's a rush but soul crushing and embarrassing when you lose because everyone has their eyes on you and you just have to suck it up and move on

you need to find meaning in your life
stop giving a fuck
you only learn by facing challenges, if you always win you don't get better... remember that
What's the difference between a liberal arts college and a regular college
One specialises in teaching liberal arts and the other doesn't. Take a guess as to which is which.
>>18385662
One is a college and the other isn't. Take a guess as to which one.
One specializes in jobs, the other on McJobs™. Take a guess as to which is which.
What is the formula of the combined gas law would I use to solve this. I need to find v2 I just need a formula. Pls help.
>>18385634
This is the wrong place for this post:
but anyways
Just use the ideal gas law
pV = nRT
Solve for n in the first example so you have the number of moles
then solve for V in the second state
don't forget ot use the correct value for R, write out your units that iwll tell you
Thanks my guy
Isn't something like PV=nRT?
The system is closed so it should be simple
Recently I bit the bullet and shaved my head to a 0 because your boy is going bald. I figured if I didn't do it now, I never would want to let go of what little hair I did have.
With that said, people receive me completely different now.
>wait staff doesn't banter with me
>cashiers that used to talk to me no longer talk to me
>friends relatives no longer as talkative to me
>cashiers that ask to donate for charity never ask anymore, even if they've asked the person before me
>women are more shy
I feel like a criminal, like people or no longer as open and receptive to me anymore. Before I could shoot the shit with just about anyone, now I get the feel that they're walking on eggshells.
I don't like this, I enjoy people being friendly not timid.
Anyone ever shave their dome and get this response? Advice on how to show people that I've not just gotten out of prison, or that I'm a skinhead?
Any girls, how do you perceive men that have a shaved head? Thanks in advance everyone :)
>>18385592
Are you sure it's them and not you? If you are feeling insecure about your new look, you could be subconsciously acting more reserved and people will react to you accordingly by leaving you alone.
What do you look like otherwise? Also this >>18385596
>>18385596
Hahaha nah man, I fucking love it. I'm still the same old bantz, but my back and forth with people has definitely become more one sided.
On an odd sidenote, buzzing your own head is a somewhat intimate experience and a wrlcome one at that. It's like when you get that fresh face shave, you just feel ready for the world!
Preciate the alternate view though, good insight!
My girlfriend took a picture of her laying on a guys shoulder (should I be mad) I know if I were to do this shit with a girl she would flip?
>>18385535
Honestly, no, you shouldn't. You also shouldn't be with a girl who flips because you take a picture of you with your head on a girl's shoulder. Talk about it rationally and calmly. Don't freak out.
>>18385535
ask her about it
if its a problem for you, tell her that
chicks don't' get a free pass on what is right and wrong just because they have vaginas. lots of women are hypocritical about what they can do and what you can't do, not cool,
>>18385539
>You also shouldn't be with a girl who flips because you take a picture of you with your head on a girl's shoulder
annon is right, this is a major red flag of insecurity
also are you actually angry, or are you angry because you know she would be?
I see it.
All this noise in life, these distractions.
The news, advertisements, the fast food, the drama, education methodology, governing methods,ect.
I SEE.
I'm not trying to fix anything, not trying to "wake" others, i simply wanna live my life effectively.
How do i remove myself?
Is there a guide how to accept it without becoming X??
Looking for guidance/books i can read?
>looking for cheat-code book to society?
>>18385517
ok, first determine your goal, before u want to be "effective".
KYS is effective
>>18385530
Yes, its an option, but no, not gonna be doing that,
I have some idea what i want, but cant really articulate it,
Any other ideas?
Bump.
Could really use some help, this is something i've been facing for a long while.
