"If you have problems with yourself, take it out on others rather that fixing the root issue." Is all that quote is saying. It's a pussies route that doesn't fix shit and causes more problems.

A tactic employed by some people. Why develop anything positive or build yourself when you can just put others down to feel and make yourself appear better.

Why do seemingly happy and successful people self harm themselves?


This guy who I just recently started dating from work self harms himself.

He always wears a suit to work so the only time I saw his arms was when we were intimate this previous weekend.

He had large scars ALL OVER both his arms, When I asked him about it he didn't want to talk about it.

He just said "I'm not suicidal, It just calms me down and I enjoy doing it"

I asked if he had ever thought of killing himself before and he said "I think everyone has at one point, But I would not kill myself".


He is very successful and seemingly very very happy, Why would someone who is happy do that?


I can't really understand deliberately harming yourself to the point you would have scars that large, I imagine at least once he's had stitches.

I don't know why, all I know is people that enjoy that shit ain't worth your time. Get the fuck outta there

>>18282810
Cutting yourself releases a lot of calming substances. They mostly do it to cleanse their mind from unwanted thoughs, and after you just get through the pain, it can get pretty addictive. It's a weird concept, yes, but self harm can become an addiction hard to stop.
>>
>>18282820

Can confirm. I don't think everyone does it because they're unhappy because of things in their life, depression can also be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, assuming he does it because of that. Personally, I've done it to get rid of bad thoughts, mainly suicidal ideation. I don't want to kill myself, but when I get those thoughts I don't think rationally. Self harm calms me down and makes the thoughts go away. Though since starting antidepressants a couple of months ago I find it much easier to not give into that thought process to begin with, much easier to rationalize any negative feelings and work through it.

K, 4chan. Strange one for ya. My kid's friend comes over and I meet her for the first time. She's only 7 and HUGE. Poor thing looks like a freaking linebacker. But that's not the problem. She peed everywhere. On the car seat, on the couch, on my daughter's bed. Everywhere. I quietly changed her and asked if she's okay. She stares at me and doesn't answer. We take her home a few hours later and what the god damn fuck... We live in a nice town, but this kid is living in the projects. Mom comes out and she has no fucking teeth, tats all over her face, and piercings. Fuck. Methhead. I'm sure of it. And this kid is being abused, I think. Isn't peeing everywhere a sign of that? She came over again and cried when she had to go. We want to keep her. I told the school something is wrong, they've ignored me. What to do? Going out of my skull thinking that this kid is being hurt.

You should definitely do something, first step would be contacting some authorities, school can't do that much on it's own.

>>18282809
Contact social workers / police and tell them you have suspicion about abusing / neglecting kid.

Most likely not. But even life in alysum is better than with pot heads.

My girlfriend is a victim of abuse and it's totally new to me. She has had terrible past relationships and has brought her learned behaviour into this one. She's constantly lies to me about the smallest things. I've caught her so many times and it's put a strain on our relationship and I'm not sure I can continue. I've been so patient and loving and kind but she continues to lie because she says her previous experience was abusive so she learned to lie. She is seeing a therapist. My question is will it ever change or do I leave now with my sanity somewhat intact?

She might change, but for your own sanity you can't expect or hope for her to change, you've just got to assume she is how she's going to be. So, if it's not working now it's just not gong to work.
I'm basically in this situation myself and I realize more day by day that you can either deal with it how it is, for the rest of the relationship, or if that sounds like shit, you're better off on your own.
>>
>>18282736
She is a liar and using her supposedly abusive past as a scapegoat for her behavior. Everything we do is a choice, every time she lies to you it's like coming to a fork in the road and knowingly deciding to take the worst fork. Unfortunately constant lying undermines trust which means your entire relationship is built on an unstable foundation. So what if she is seeing a therapist? She probably lies to him/her too! I won't try to tell you how to handle your relationships, but ask yourself this; are you willing to invest your life in someone who refuses to be truthful with you and who undermines your trust in her at every opportunity?
>>
>>18282736
I would leave anon. I know that's easier said than done and I don't know how close you are. In my experience however, people like this tend not to change. Maybe give her some time with therapy and see how it goes? See if she does genuinely improve and appear to change, even on a small level at first. If not, I recommend getting out

What can I expect from taking viagra for the first time? I have ED from SSRI and anxiety. Is there a chance it won't work? or that my erection will go away when I put on a condom? Will it give constant erections or just when I'm turned on?

Why do girls like to pretend I'm attractive?
I will ask a girl at a store about something and they will get all giddy and flirt, I'm ugly as fuck so why do they do it?
I have low self esteem(maybe even zero) as it is and when they do this it just makes it worse.

>>18282701
Attraction is subjective and involuntary, so if girls are showing attraction to you, it follows logically that you're attractive to someone. I also have low self-esteem and occasionally get interest from girls who I believe are at least 3-4 points above me in the scale. I'm learning to just go along with it rather than to try to rationalize it or let my low self esteem push them away. Be wise, but live in the moment a little. Stop trying to figure everything out.

>>18282701
Probably you are attractive and your perception is just screwed.

You might also just be tall. I think I'm fuck ugly and have the personality of a brick but I get all sorts of girls to talk to me without even trying. I'm 6 4.

So I think I'm realising I'm asexual...or something. I've had 2 partners in my life (27f), the first one I was with for 3 years and the current one is going on 4 soon. I've never been a particularly sexual person, but I do sometimes have sexual thoughts (rare). In these 2 relationships I started out having a lot of sex but it dwindles down to almost nothing a year in. I believe i do this because im trying to learn about the person, to feel close to that person, and also because it's expected of me. Not because I'm horny. I really do try to put out but I don't really feel sexually attracted to the person, so im not the one initiating. Ever. It makes me feel like the villain when I reject my bf's advances, I feel like a fucking loser.

I know this isn't normal. Ive been trying to convince myself of ways to like sex, to want sex, but nothing fucking works. The "sexual thoughts" I have had aren't even sexual? Like I think about a video game character I like, but not even the act of fucking them. Not even touching them. Just being next to them. Or I remember a time I was with my best friend at an anime convention, we were like 16, nothing sexual but we had so much fun. I got to share a bed with her and we cuddled, and I love that moment more than anything. I didn't want to do anything sexual, but the idea of being so close to her made me happy. I don't think I'm lesbian though, I don't have sexual thoughts of women, but I do like looking at the pretty ones.

My bf is kind of a /pol/lack, so the idea of presenting myself as asexual to him...i don't think he'll take it seriously. We are already sexually incompatible, so I don't think the relationship will last, heck i don't even know why he's with someone like me.

TLDR: what does it mean to be asexual? How would I know if i am? If so, how do I tell my partner I am? Can i fix it? How to stop being a total loser?

There is nothing wrong with not having any particular interest in sex, and you sound like you put effort into pleasing your partners despite that. Why do you have such low self esteem ? It seems like your problem is less that you think you're asexual and more that you seem to not value yourself at all.

I have no idea about being asexual and what's it like so I can't comment on that or offer advice on that, but I couldn't let your post slide. You're not worthless and you're not a loser if you don't want to have sex, that's perfectly within your right to say no, and if you're ready to compromise for your partner, they should be ready to compromise for you
>>
>>18282604
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I probably do have low self esteem, I don't have a lot of people in my life, mostly just my parents and my bf. So I have to live with my own thoughts...not that I mind. I think my sex problem is a real problem though.

I don't want to compromise with him forever though. I think he's just too sexual for me, I don't want to deprive him of sex any longer. He deserves happiness...something I can't provide.
>>
>>18282615

My personal advice would be to see a professional about your state of mind and not try to hunt for a label online, or self diagnose. They should help you figure out what is going on in you, and wether or not you are the way you think you are. It's not necessarily something you can find out by yourself, especially in your state of mind (you seem very emotional and inclined towards self flagellation, sorry to say).

About your boyfriend, don't unilaterally take that decision. You should have an open conversation with him about the subject. Maybe you are overestimating how heavy the situation weights on him ? Either way, you can't take a decision out of concern for him without consulting with him about his feelings. But don't use the term asexual, just say you have a very low sex drive or something.

If however you want out of the relationship because you yourself feel uncomfortable with your incompatibility, then do so and be honest about the reason.

But whatever you do stop hitting yourself over the head girl, you're not going to get any farther by calling yourself names. Happiness comes in many forms and you should not consider yourself an hindrance to your partner's happiness - sex isnt THAT great, even coming from someone that loves it.

Going to lose my virginity in a few weeks. Girl has often jokes about how we might "end up together" and was discussing baby names with me (jokingly) at one point.
I trust her, but I should definitely wear a condom right?
I really wanted to go raw my first time, and I'm sure she'd take the pill.

DON'T use a ribbed condom whatever you do!

It's well documented some women are capable of utilising vaginal muscles to actually grasp condoms, and with a specific rhythm, become capable of removing a condom to increase the chances she will be fertilised by you.

My GF found out her dog that she gave away years ago died at the age of 11 and keeps crying about it like she just lost a relatives.
She went on a little after-work date and she kept crying in public at the restaurant. It was embarrassing and annoying because she's 30 years old crying in public like a child with people looking at her.
She has the AUDACITY to get mad at me for being annoyed and "unsympathetic". I held her but my face clearly looked annoyed when she started crying for the 5th time. I didn't know what else to do besides hold her. What, tell her "you'll get a new dog!"?

What do I say? She's now angry texting me because of my cold reaction and me telling her the reason why I looked annoyed was because I don't think adults should cry in public. When I see people cry in public I think "Dramatic", "Drunk", "Drug addict", "Mentally Ill" or something absolutely terrible happened.

Youre a moron, OP. You should have just hugged her. Don't you know women are emotional?? If I was her I would break up with you! Emotions dont usually follow logic. Just support her. She's a hormonal mess, commonly referred to as homo sapiens sapiens female.
>>
I'm not going to tell you to break up with her, nobody ever comes here looking for that answer, but just ignore her and let her make an ass out of herself. If she has any sense of shame she'll apologize later.

I need some advice. My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost two years now, have known eachother for nearly eight years. We decided to move in together back in August and it has been a tough time. Our sex life has never been anything of note, and honestly it is getting worse. At the same time she feels like after our lease is up we should stay together but live seperately, which makes me feel uncomfortable. This past weekend we decided to break up yet just a couple hours after she came home and I took her back. Now she asks me if I am truely happy and my honest answer is I don't know. A part of me feels like i should leave her, but I truely love her. Please /adv I need some help.

try having a heart to heart chat then. it could be something else that's causing the friction, directions in life, that kind of thing. if you're serious enough (both of you, that is) maybe go for couples counselling? good luck.

So I'll keep this brief. I'm in a dead end security job paid 12 an hour full time. Not bad but I need more. I'm paying all my bills but not saving anything. I have roughly 2 years of customer service and a year of security under my belt with a bonus of having awesome tech skills. I just never went to college. What do.

you haven't explained much other than what you've done, and what you're doing, anon/
how about some details about your endgame, ambitions, dreams and all that jazz? aside from making a bit more dough, that is.
>>
Currently living with my grandparents and obviously I want the fuck out. My main goal is to get the hell out and live in an apartment. Have 6 or so dollars left every paycheck so yeah saving isn't happening. I don't really have a lot of restrictions personally aside from something not too physical because I'm built like some kind of fucked up fatass dwarf. My dream would be to be an author but I know how unrealistic that is. I just honestly don't know what to do. I apply everywhere with zero responses. All I want is to start life but that's a bitch all on its own. Not helping is the fact my grandparents are threatening to kick me out even though I pay half their fucking bills myself.
>>
>>18282790
How can you only save 6 dollars a month from your paycheck? Are you exaggerating, or is that accurate? If you really want to move out and make actual change in your life, you should be able to make significant savings. Stop buying shit you don't need and keep your goal of moving out in your mind when you're tempted to buy it.

Tl;dr what (and much appreciated - where) to educate myself on that is of interest AND practical use in my day-to-day life? (eg. cars, getting a house, politics, etc.) Please help me fix my ignorance.

Get a vehicle if you live outside of the city.
Get a gym membership and lift/cardio (you don't have to be extreme with this)
Look at the hobbies you enjoy, if they are all inside one's try to drop a couple and do easy outdoor types like hiking.
Get a simple job that doesn't make you work more than 40 hours a week. (Try to make it one where you do a little socialising)
Buy clothes you enjoy that aren't super neet and are form fitting.
Prepare for the summer.

Do these things and you should be on the road to normy-ville

Noted.
But how do I get normie on the mental/intellectual level as well? I want to be able to contribute to conversations about casual things.

What are the things people know and talk about that matter in their lives? I'm taking some online courses to learn more about the world but they'er pretty specific and not sure which or how many of them will help me function as an average person that has a say in casual discussions.

Skim the newspaper. If you can get it for free like if you're at university then it's all the better.
Also browsing reddit front page will probably give you plenty bs conversational filler for any given day.

Health question. I know I need to go to the doctor, but I currently don't have insurance or a job. so I am coming to you for some advice. I seem to have some sort of painful bump near the start of my butt crack. occasionally I can puncture it and it leaks, its not pus but its clear sticky liquid that smells rather bad. some days theres no pain other days its frequent pain. do you guys know what it could be? I am not sexually active and never have been. I kind of want to post a picture but I am not sure if its allowed on /adv/ as it may be nsfw but i have it cropped to just the problem area.
