i wish i could fake my own death and start over somewhere else, i feel like i have done nothing good in my entire life
is starting over really possible?

If you haven't achieved anything in life, 'starting over' isn't going to change anything.

>>18710505
you are probably right
i was built for failure
>>
>>18710514
You are getting it wrong. Let me reformulate what that poster said.
It means 2 things:
1.If you haven't achieved anything in life, that means that your life has not really started. If your life as not really started, you can "starting over" right now.
2. Fleeing don't solve your problems. You have to solve them. This is how you can "start over", or better said, change your life.

if you're the kind of person who likes to advertise knowledge of things you know very little about in order to gain social stance, then laptop stickers are for you.

Ask any faggot with a github sticker on their laptop basic questions about how git works and see how many can manage an answer. "you just, like, commit and push, xan"

Holy cringe no

For some reason, I always get extremely attached to people whenever they pay the least bit of attention to me.

This weekend, I went to a party with people I knew, but hadn't really talked to before. I had *one* conversation with a girl about nothing even slightly related to getting together, and now I'm so infatuated I'm almost 'in love with her.'

It's fucking ridiculous, it happens with pretty much every girl I talk to, to the point where I get defensive about them.

How do I stop being this way?

You have to get real hurt or just put it in your head that people don't care about you at all.
I used to be this way. It took me getting hurt to realize which people would be ones to take a bullet for me.
>>
In my experience, it happens when you don't have that much interaction from the the opposite gender much (of comparable age). So your brain latches onto the first one that remotely acknowledges you.

The way to stop it is to keep meeting people, including girls. Itll stop happening.
>>
>>18710416
this is usually caused by an upbringing by somewhat detached parents. they weren't there enough for you emotionally, never gave you enough attention, so now you're basically in a state where people giving you attention makes you crave approval and support from them, due to a latent craving for approval and support from your parents. that's my guess anyways. only thing you can do about that is see a psychologist for years, but it'll never really get better, unfortunately. sorry bro

This but it's worse.
I hate my "friends."
I only like one of them, but him and I can't hold great conversations because we're not anything alike. He's good friends with a total thot that I absolutely despise. She's cancer, and she also gives me a reputation for constantly being around me and my friend.
Her boyfriend is obviously a cuck and the two of them follow me like puppies. In the theater, the thot will ALWAYS try to sit beside me, and try to snuggle. She's ugly as fuck, so I always tell her to stop, but it's still annoying.
There's a fourth guy I really like, who I think I'd be really good friends with, and who I'd love to hang out with, but it's hard to say "Hey, do you want to hang out one-on-one, because honestly I hate my friends and I know you wouldn't like them either."
Life ain't fair and the world is mean.

Most of my friends are real ones and I love it, but I have one dude I've grown up with the last couple years that has turned to shit.
>disregards peoples feelings
>makes jokes he shouldn't make
>started doing edibles/lsd/weed all the time
>never wants to hangout unless drugs
>fat
>autistic family situation
If you need an idea about the types of jokes I mean, he pissed off one of my friends about his girlfriend giving head to her ex boyfriend. He also makes jokes about me being a beta because my girlfriend broke up with my last week. I told him he was being a dick in both of these situations and his only thing he says is "I don't care" and then it eventually spins to awkward silence from me not having anything to say. What do? Am I a sensitive pussy or is this dude a jackass?

He seems cool to me. It sounds like you and your group of friends are too sensitive and care too much about other people's opinions. If this is about him being a jackass, you have hardly any room to complain, you guys do drugs, have a thing against fatties and misuse autism but he takes it too far calling you a beta or making a rude joke. It just sounds like you can't handle it being on the end of a joke.

So, back in May, I was an assistant manager before our store went out of business. I was making good money but since then I've been on unemployment (unemployment is fucking purgatory, do whatever you can to avoid using it).

4 months later, another retail store has opened up an assistant manager position, I applied and immediately got called by the district manager. We were talking about the position and he even asked if I could be interviewed the next day by the store manager. The interview went beautifully, and he was very eager to hire me. 2 hours later, the district manager got the news, told me about the perks and even told me how much he wanted to start me off.

After this, the store manager has a problem, seeing as this retail chain is sort of linked to the one I worked before, my ex boss listed me as non rehireable, or some shit, and they've had me on limbo for two weeks. HR can't seem to find the reason why I was listed as non-rehireable, and after two calls with the store manager, he's still waiting on the district manager to "sort it out" but I have a feeling they may not want me anymore (I wasn't fired at my old job or did anything that violated protocol).

What do?

If you need a job and it doesn't look like you're going to get this one, you're doing yourself a disservice by sitting on your ass and waiting.

>ermmmm ok you can tell me
>I kinda like someone else

All my fucking rage /adv/. And it isn't even a shock to me. She's been distant. Shown how little she actually cares for me. But here's me being the idiot and believing her.
Do girls always lie?
Like seriously....she changes her settings on her fb so i cant see her friendlist anymore...clearly to hide the people she's adding. She tells me she didnt change it and fb must of done it...sketchy i know but i believed her to avoid an argument.
I feel like a dumbass. Totally fucking raging.

If she's not your girlfriend, you don't really have much reason to be mad about this. Also just because she likes someone else, doesn't mean she doesn't care about you.

Just try to move on. Girls are dumb and they don't realize what they have until it's gone.

She claims she has strong feelings for me.
promises me she hasnt been speaking to other guys
now suddenly she kinda likes someone else.....
Doesn't matter if shes my gf or not...still dishonest.

So I'm an atheist stuck in a heavily religious family. It just wouldn't work if my family knew. The problem is there is a girl at our church that I'm crushing on and I want to ask her out. I feel like as soon as I'm public about my atheism everything would fall apart. It seems irresponsible to start a relationship. What do you think?

Very much the former.

>>18710383
I mean the latter lol

so basically my boyfriend is constantly away for hours on end but i see him posting on other social medias (snapchat mostly and him hanging out with friends and doing literally nothing saying he is bored) and im kind of clingy and ive been doing really good about not being clingy but im not so sure what to do about him because ive talked to him about it before but he is my first in real life boyfriend and i'm going to miss all the physical affection.

when we are irl together (he's away at college and i dont have my drivers license yet) i always have a really good time and we're laughing and talking and i just dont know what to do. any advice of what i should do would be appreciated, thank you. pic not related.

TLDR: Boyfriend using my resources (my home, invites his friends over, drives my car, etc). It didn't bother me at first but now it's starting to since I feel like he is getting comfortable and that he doesn't need to do get his own things so long as I have it. How do I begin the conversation?

Been dating the boyfriend for 10 months. Our relationship itself is great. I do love him and everything but one thing that's been getting to me is how he has nothing of his own. He drives my car, basically lives at my house for free, and doesn't seem to have much money so I end up paying for a lot of the things. I feel like if he made more money or at least as much as I do, the finance and resources things wouldn't be a problem.

I don't know how to begin the conversation with him without being a complete bitch. I'm not happy with this and I have it all bottled up. I honestly have no idea how I could even talk to him about this without it breaking out into an entire fight. What do? Photo totally unrelated.

there is no good way, that's why you have been putting it off. tell him that you feel like he is taking advantage of you. he may get mad but if he wasn't just using you from the beginning he will take responsibility for his own life. seriously stop putting this off. if this ends up some huge sticking point he's not worth your time anyway. if he cares he will change.
>>
>>18710230
If you don't want to broach the topic of how he is taking advantage of you, then frame it as, "I think we should split bills and expenses now that we use the same things." And if he says that's unfair, then split it on a percentage. You said you make more than him? Find the applicable percentage that you can each pay to be fair. You make $50,000 and he makes $20,000? Add it together, you get $70,000. Roughly 30% is from him (20000/70000) and 70% is from you (50000/70000). If a bill is $100, you pay $70 and he pays $30. There you go. Frame it as that.

If he finds that (fair) deal unacceptable, then get into him on taking advantage of you and using you, that you're not his mom, and you're not here to support him.
>>
>>18710260
The thing is I don't think he's doing it on purpose but the root of the feelings is definitely that I feel like I'm feeling a little used and under-appreciated. And you make a good point. If he gets defensive or fights back it's not my problem and not worth my time.

She's going through another "Waaaaaaaaaaaah general education work is too hard to get done I'm going to sit here and be a useless depressed woman" stage. It's fucking annoying. If she fails another semester, she's going to be working a 9-5 job for potentially the rest of her life.

Is there anything I can do? It's simple work. She has the ability to do it. She just occasionally acts like a goddamn woman and stops getting shit done.

You sound like you are not good to her and you also sound immature, her reality will never be your reality, sometimes people go through hard times, periods of mental blockage.

Something my dormmate said about me to some of her friends eventually lead me to figure out that I'm an inherently defunct human being.
>this is anon, she's very suspicious but actually very different (code for autism, I Know), meek and sensitive
>dudes laugh
>I thunk "is this really who I am? Fuck me, then. Fuck."

>best friend all my life describes me very differently-- "being around you makes the world make sense and feel good--you feel like a beacon". She has ADHD and is hyperactive around everyone but me. We talk for hours and talk about evil plans like cheesy dorks, she says I seem assertive and confident
>another dude, a friend of my dorm, says in front of a whole party after I do something that really stands out "damn, anon, I love you (note: in a platonic way)--you're so real and genuine like nobody else is. And you're so reserved but then you're actually so bold and fierce--it's awesome!"
>everyone agrees and makes a toast to me
>me: *assumes it's some elaborate joke despite this dude usually being open and kind to everyone, so much so people think he's gay"
>assume that each time someone says something nice about me or is kind to me, it's a joke

>thunk some more
>it seems fairly random what people make of me
>realize that all I am are only the weird impressions I give to others--that they're all but a series of accidents in the end. Nothing is deliberate, nothing is controlled. I often do things and say things that by all means I barely remember...that I barely believe I did. I'm like an unchained beast...

you're not special, just obsessive. the non socially anxious don't remember or obsess over every time they had a friend or were the center of attention. Everybody gets varied reactions like you and most of them don't care

Yeah, to a degree,

But my issues is real--I don't have much an identity and you may judge me all I want for saying this, but having an identity and being a self-contained individual with purpose is important to me.

Hey Americans,

I'm new to your country, my company sent me over here to do some work at one of our subsidiaries here for a year.

My boss here has invited the department to his home for a dinner party. I am unfamiliar with this custom so I have several questions.

1. Everybody is bringing their wives and girlfriends, would it be out of turn if I brought my (same sex) roommate? We are not involved romantically but he is basically my only friend here and I think it would help to have him come along. His english is about as good as mine so I don't think he would be too awkward in conversations. at least not worse than I haha

2. Am I supposed to bring something?

3. Is it a bad thing if I don't go to this? I know Americans are easily offended but this seems like something that can be skipped on because it is an outside of work thing right? I don't know help me out here.

It'd be weird, definitely. Just go alone, no one will think less of you for it.

>Am I supposed to bring something?
Take along a bottle of wine or something. Not too cheap, but not super expensive either.

>Is it a bad thing if I don't go to this?
Sounds like he wants it to be a team bonding thing, you should go unless you have a legitimate excuse, which you don't.
>>
>>18709910
What the fuck country do people not invite other people over for dinner?
>>
>>18709954
I'm pretty sure he's not unfamiliar with the concept of going to others' for dinner, he just wants to know what the etiquette is in the US.
