This is the case especially when in groups. We just sit around and call each other retarded. Or we gang up on someone in the group and make fun of them.

Some of my friends have the capacity to talk about something without making a joke. But with a lot of them, it seems like they are always doing some kind of joke.


Banter is fun, but it gets pretty draining when I start to realise that the only connection I have with someone is calling them a fag. I much prefer my friends that know how to switch out of joke mode.


Anyone else have friends like mine? anyone else gets kind of drained by these types of people?

My friends are basically like yours. We joke about everything. It's hard to have a completely serious talk about stuff. But that's probably because we've realized there are very few things worth taking seriously. Although we tend to be much more clever about it than just calling each other fags. We are all a bit smarter than that.

And no, it doesn't get draining. I look forward to it.
>>
>>18305618

Right, to me it often looks like making jokes is just a social crutch use to avoid talking about something normally.

It's also frustrating if one of us is speaking to a girl or something, then another of the group always goes in with the joke's and end's up fucking up the other guy's game.
>>
>>18305599
Maybe it is time for you to grow up, and tell them all it is time to stop calling each other fags and do something better.

Maybe it wont work, but maybe it will.

I was in an LDR, with a girl in a different country. I loved her a lot, i was smitten and thought she was the one. We met up when we could and enjoyed the time together immensely. Since February this year though, she started distancing herself, stopped initiating conversation, ignored me at times and didnt give a shit about talking. This went on for 2 months, and the months were agony. I broke up with her when i confronted her one weekend where she confessed she had gone out of town with a friend from school to the friend's hometown and was staying there. A month later, they're dating. At that point, i decided to cut all contact and removed her from facebook, after which she started drinking and begged me not to "leave her life", "please dont go" and that I "still had a place in her heart". I didnt readd her but we maintain loose contact through instant messages. Now she wants me to visit, just the two of us, her hometown where she currently does not live. We had broken up once before and during that, she said that she wouldnt be able to resist me even if she was dating someone else. Now she says she has no interest in sex. Why does she want us to meet alone, is it a good idea?

No. Just leave.
I was in a similar relationship and situation, I know the agony you talk about, it sucks man it sucks so much. Cut her out again now.
>>
>>18305560
Are you fucking retarded OP? Block her and never speak to her again, she is clearly pulling you along with a rope around your neck, don't let her.

If she had feelings for you only she wouldn't do this shit and make you question yourself so much that you had to run to 4chan for help, seriously think about this.

You're wasting your time with her, find someone else who appreciates you for you because she clearly doesn't.

>>18305590
I've been on that train of thought as well.
Would it be absolutely retarded to see if i could bang her then ghost her?

I've been out on 4 dates with this girl, and I really like her, but I get so nervous I feel ill when I'm out with her. I can generally keep it under wraps, but I've thrown up once. I'm not a nervous person in general, it's just this situation really. Drinking isn't really a solution, since drinking on a nervous stomach makes me want to throw up.

Be me.

Have a 10 month scholarship to complete my dissertation. I get a job at month 8. Before accepting the job, I call the financial aid office to see how it affects my scholarship. They tell me I have to forfeit the last 2 months of the scholarship. I say okay, and take the job.


Feeling like a complete idiot and asshole right now. If I had just taken the job without calling the financial aid office they probably never would have known and I would have been able to keep a little over 6 thousand dollars that could have gone toward sooo many things.

At the time, my thinking was that I don't want to do anything to mess up getting the degree and I wanted to be a good person and play by the rules.

Now, I realize wealthy people don't play by the rules and I acted like a poor, unentitled sucker. I should have kept quiet and if they caught me feigned ignorance.

I feel so sick about it literally my stomach hurts me.

Any solace?

Wealthy people can hire Mr Goldberg if/when they get caught. Can you?
>>
>>18305466
No. But what would they have done?
I don't know... I feel like they played me for a chump. Playing off my fear that I would get caught or something.

But I remember one time they said they overpaid me and took it all back, I can't even remember how that panned out but- what's the worst they would have done? I would have said
"Oh sorry I didn't know I was breaking the rules"
And they either would have said, "it's okay we will let it slide and be more clear in the future" or been like "we need the money back" but either way it would have been the same.

>>18305506
They would take the risk since they can afford to deal with any kind of negative consequences. The joys of being too big too fail.

>But I remember one time they said they overpaid me and took it all back
Completely different scenario either way.

>"Oh sorry I didn't know I was breaking the rules"
Ignorance is never an excuse. They could've shrugged it off but they could've easy sue your ass for attempted fraud too. Depends a lot on the contract and what else.

You're almost done with uni and you got a job. No point worrying about how things could've turned even better. And you did it fair too without a system designated to give you a fellatio at every opportunity. There will be chances to make 6 grand look small in the future, focus on that.

Is it possible to change a girl's body type from skinny to curvy and athletic?

Can squats improve breast size?

Why would it?

Yes, gaining weight in muscle and fat will generally make a skinny girl more curvy

This question is not asked enough around

Has anyone here ever broken up with someone in a long distance relationship? How did you do it? Not the internet kind, the type where you're apart by a few hours and see each other every few weeks or so. Asking for a friend

why do I feel like my dick is small?

It's 7inch and girth is almost my hand grip. Comparing it to a banana its bigger lmao. I feel like Porn fucked up my mind. Anyway to me, it looks small and that comes in my head during sex. Every girl moans pretty loud. Girls usually fall in love with me and the one girl I asked if I was good in bed said if I wasn't she wouldn't be with me.

It's bigger then a dollar long ways.

How do I find out once and for all if it's big enough? I'm tired of having this shit pop into my head. Wondering if a girls ex was bigger then me whatever.

Vag depth is only 3-5...maybe sometimes 6 inches deep. Why would you need more? Unless you want to do balls deep anal.

Try to look at it from the side instead of looking from the top. It always looks smaller from the top.

22 years old college student studying mechanical engineering. I've recently transferred to Uni from a community college, but without too much thought into what I'll be studying. I was just good at math and physics, and I thought I could use those skills towards a career. Most people on this website would say that I 'fell for the STEM meme.'

Now that I'm actually faced with actual engineering courses, I'm beginning to question whether the workload is even worth it. Many of my friends who went into CS are bragging about how their jobs are comfortable and low-stress compared to the engineering jobs, and that sounds like it would've been a better investment towards a career. Or maybe I could've even given up the high-paying jobs to do things I was interested in(translation).
But it's too late to regret now, I only have enough years of financial aid to finish this degree, and I couldn't bear the shame of falling behind my peers anymore since I'm already few years behind.

This constant self-doubt and regret is really killing my motivation and the little passion I had for my studies. At this pace I can only imagine that I'd end up with a minimum wage job or be a NEET whether I finish this degree or not.
Does anyone have advice on overcoming this kind of mental state?
Alternatively, if you're working/studying in the engineering field, what excites you and drives you towards the subject?

I don't hate the subject and I can do the work needed, but I can't stop thinking about the other paths I could've taken.

In terms of things like potential salary and job security, engineering is probably better than computer science. Finish your degree, and then decide what you want to do.

I've heard of people taking gap years before college and I like how this sounds so far. I want to do something drastic like work for a hotel or in customer services in some county like Mexico or Guatemala, how can I achieve such? Will I live on my own or should I stay with people? I really don't know how people go about this sort of stuff. Help? I want to experience something new. I love adventure.

I need help getting my first job and this is what they asked on their electronic application:

A customer tells you that they “must have” a particular item that you are out of in your store. You can tell that the customer is impatient and appears to be becoming frustrated. They explain to you that this is the second time they have been to the store to find a product they want is out of stock. Your supervisor is unavailable as they are working with another customer. Briefly describe how you would handle this.

I would offer them to order their product online (since they have an online store), do you guys think that is a good enough response? What would you guys do?

Apologize, promise them to personally talk to your superior to order it later and suggest an alternative.

Also since it's clearly a shittier job, your answer doesn't matter too much unless it sounds absolutely retarded.

Soz basically tonight is another sleepless night where I'm pondering thoughts of suicide. Not only that but I want to inflict real harm on my "friends" before I go out. Life just feels so boring nothing interests me and I hate myself for wasting my life doing nothing. I want to change but everything sucks so fking much. Even things I think I'm passionate about I soon realize was just a phase. I'm a fking grown adult who can't even do anything to help his family. I'm an actual parasite that should be removed. Idk what I'm holding out for fear?belief I can actually be something? Sparing my parents the grief? But I do know if its possible to change I'd like to change. Why do I have such a shitty outlook on life? Why do people piss me off so much even though I'm truly a nice person? Why do I fail at everything I do? So many questions can someone on this thread actually help me? Red pill me....

Coming from someone who has had 2 friends kill themselves (one may have been murder but we never figured it out) it leaves a terrible legacy to your name. Stop. Take a breath. Realize that your conditions are better than a large majority of the world. Yeah people suck, that'll never change. You probably have family and friends who would be devastated if you killed yourself. Im not a very financially successful person but I've been through enough shit times to be able to step back and appreciate that I'm alive. It's never that bad....and usually there is a source to your struggles. Find it. I'm also really high but ultimately don't do it. We need as many good people on the planet as we can get

>Why do I have such a shitty outlook on life?

Because you chose it.

>Why do people piss me off so much even though I'm truly a nice person?

People can be different. Sometimes things can arise in us that might make us reject them or maybe feel ''not so nice'' about them.

I believe this is ok. Entertaining these feelings or not exploring them to a point where your each a satisfactory conclusion (one where you might realize and come to terms with the origins of your anger) is what seems wrong to me.

Even though I know this Its been years but I think, for me, I am getting over it.

>Why do I fail at everything I do?

A very broad question. I know why I failed my tests and school in general, I chose not to go to school, take them, study or give my homework.

Like this I could find other examples where I ''failed'' and see if it was because of me or because of outside factors.

>So many questions can someone on this thread actually help me?

How can I help?

Build up more self confidence. I don't care how pretty they are, they still take a shit and wipe their ass like everybody else. So, I don't care who it is, I never feel intimidated.
>>
thats a paradox you just described
>>
You could call it that but there is actually another meaning. You have to look at things differently to start boosting your confidence and self esteem. They may be pretty but they are also just people. While they have looks they are deficient in other ways. You may feel your looks are inferior to theirs but I sure you excel in other areas. We're a mix of different people and you can't judge quality by the package.
