I dont know what to do anymore. All my ambitions are gone, and my interests are slowly slipping away. Im 19, and next month will be a year since I graduated. Ive accomplished jack shit. I'm going to community college, and I'm doing terrible because I lack any motivation. My high school experience sucked, and now I look back at with regret. My teachers always told me I had potential, but no one ever guided me into the right direction of going to a good college. I was in one club, but besides that nothing else. I was a musician in middle school, but didn't follow through. I could be great right now. Im beginning to notice all of the girls that liked me, and how I could've had multiple girlfriends by now. I'm working in the fast food industry (McDonalds). Just a couple months ago, was in the process of being promoted. All of that went out the window once I went back to school. Now I'm shit at my job, and my manager has pushed me to the side. The only good thing in my life is my girlfriend, but I feel sometimes it'll end. She's ready to settle down, because of all of the assholes she dated. But I've never dated anyone. I would've liked to explore with other girls, but she's amazing. I don't want to lose her. Im just lost, and I don't know how to get my motivation back. I have a gym membership but haven't gone. I don't have a car, and I don't have a license. What the fuck. Im a loser.

You're 19, go fuck yourself. I'm 24 and only figured out what I want to do last year. I wasted my life smoking weed and flunking out of engineering classes that my parents told me to take until then.

I fucking wish I had had the balls and the knowedge of who I am when I was 19 to actually do what I wanted in terms of ecistential authenticity.

Why don't you do some serious soul searching and figure out who you are. Write down your values, who your parents are, what you really love, who you admire and why, etc. Figure out what tou want and who you are and then persue it full fucking bore. Nobody can tell you and don't waste your time pursuing the white picket fence boring ass suburb life.

Should I break up with my girlfriend because I her mother hates me?

I love my gf, but to continue with her would mean turning her mother into my mother in law. And she hates me.

Best I can hope for is that she's a tsundere mother in law.

If you know words like tsundere, she's right about hating you. I'm so certain about this because I know them too.

Why you think she hates you?. Sometimes they think you're not good enough, it's not like they hate you, but that they prefer something better for their daughter

Yeah, it feels like that. In that case, should I break up with her?

Hey adv.

Its been a while.

Ive always had communication issues and eventually got turned off by my own writing. Stopped posting because I got fed up with how I could never articulate my problems, got hung up with applying cliches to my own life, and just getting too excited about getting (You)s.

I want to try again. So Ill pose my problem.

How to deal with hopelessness? I think hopelessness is the same sensation across most people, so I will just sum it up as being that feeling that makes you suddenly feel ashamed at ever thinking youd have a chance at happiness.

Does it ever stop? Do I have to just hold onto my blanket and let it pass?

I am currently very much interested with a girl I've known for years, since she lives pretty near to my home and work. I have always been interested in her. But I fear that it might turn into obsession, and while I probably have very little chance, I don't want to toss it out of the window because I can stalk her on social internet things. How do I set a restriction on iny head not to become a creeper? Pic semi related, while not necceserraly accurate description

My personal relationships with people have been damaged and turbulent since my falling out with everyone at sixteen. It started with the senpai going to shit, and then me making a lot of troubled friends...troubled people are troublesome.

I'm getting my life together now, and hopefully things will continue to work out, but sometimes I have a really negative view of humanity and can't help but feel that existence is just futile because of this. It's got to be what psychologists would call a 'cognitive distortion', which is a pretty vague term that I don't like.

It's like, you open the news and instead of reading reports about new technology and new social programs, you watch TV news reports about war and government corruption. It's an easy way to start feeling like humans are shit.

Some days I'm working on myself, cooperating with other people and feeling half right. Other days I can only think of what's really been fucked up between me and the people I've had the misfortune of getting into conflicts with.

Instead of seeing humans as positive forces that help organize the world (except for animals and third-world savages) and create positive moments, in these moments I think about the times I've been slighted and the damage everyone does to each other with deceitful shit like lying, cheating, and rape.

Does anyone know about those dark days when it feels like people are shit? Do you have any advice on this?

>terrible texter
Part of me thinks i have a general dislike for women, although I'm definitely sexually attracted to them. It's a lot easier just to talk to/hang out with friends for company, and porn nullifies the sexual incentive to talk to women. I'm straight but struggle to find the motivation to approach women or talk to them unless they started talking to me. On the other hand, a part of me does want female company, and eventually a relationship, maybe just for societal reasons but I don't know how to tell. I guess the main question is how do I get the motivation to talk to more women?

But what about passing on genes, and companionship? Men are generally designed to provide resources to women, and women generally provide childcare, sex and domestic skills in return. Maybe it's pragmatic but being single all my life might not feel right

I just lost my entire group of friends and a community that I've been building from the ground up for the past 4 years because they got pissy about me having a girlfriend and not being as active/not wanting to kill myself every waking second anymore and started being really passive aggressive about it until I finally decided that I was sick of it and wanted nothing more to do with it. I'm pretty disappointed and sad, and I'm going to miss talking to them, but I think I may be better off. They really showed their true colors during this whole debacle, and I realized that most of the people I considered my "friends" actually weren't that at all.

The thing is, I don't really know much about how to meet new people online. I spent most of my time getting to know these people on IRC, where the community was based, and now I am not really on good terms with like 75% of the people I was fairly close to. I have a few IRL friends outside of the group that involves my girlfriend, but I kind of lost touch with them when I started hanging out with the gf more and more. A lot of them have also gotten their own girlfriends and are busy with work and so on. I make music and like to play games and watch dreary arthouse films. What would you suggest, /adv/?

Just seek out other communities. I'm part of a forum on IGN that I've been with for 15 years, and I've grown up with these people, even as our interests have varied. I've been parts of other forums like for my favorite football team, and then there's 4chan as well.

But I never feel like I need to force anything if those communities aren't evolving with me. There will be other places, if need be.

But at the same time, reflect on yourself a little bit. Are there things about you that changed negatively as your relationship grew? Did you go from being "the always depressed guy" to now "won't stop talking about his girlfriend guy?" It's pretty common, and even I went through it, but I'd advise you not to write off your friends entirely, as this could just be a bump in the road if you play it right and look at it from other perspectives.

Sounds like a case of jealousy to me anon. I would try and expand your IRL social circle.

Oh shit, is that board The Vestibule by any chance? I used to post there back when I was a teenager, but I was a pretty obnoxious kid and eventually decided to leave. I kinda miss that place.

I absolutely did become that guy for a period of about a month, and I'm frustrated that things turned out the way they did. I made a very serious attempt to not do that once I realized that it was a problem, but it was too late, and people wouldn't stop being shitty to me every time I chatted, so at a certain point I decided it was best to just leave, especially when people I looked up to were starting to become really aggressive for no reason. I think the main reason people were upset though wasn't really the chats (which I managed to stop entirely, but occasionally I'd still mention her because I think it's absurd that everyone else was allowed to talk about what's going on in their lives; just not me), but because I used to run a lot of stuff for the community and I no longer had time to do that. One of those things was a pretty active film club, and I also would coordinate album listenalongs and game nights and so on. I also used to do a lot of streams for them. Some considered me the glue that held things together.

You're right, though. I definitely shouldn't write them off. A lot of them are just concerned and upset that I'm not spending as much time with them as I used to. I'm just frustrated because I can't help but see it as somewhat selfish to demand that someone go back to how they "used" to be when they know full well that the person they used to be was completely miserable. I have also seen several of them go through the exact same thing I am, and I was never an asshole to any of them, so it's a bit bewildering that now that I'm on the other side of the table, I'm made out to be an asshole, but whatever, I tried. For now, though, I need to seek out new communities and meet new people.

Last December I quit a well-paying, high prestige job at one of the nation's major companies where I was highly regarded for three reasons:

>The stress was keeping me up at night and making me vomit every Monday morning
>It was further pushing me away from ever having a chance to pursue my creative passions in writing, editing, and publishing
>They were forcing me into a "promotion" that was requiring me to learn a bunch of skills in a direction in the industry I didn't want to go, which would give me much more stress

I went to a small startup, and suddenly being a big fish in a small pond made me feel like shit. I couldn't brag to girls, I had to explain what my company was to friends and family without them just immediately knowing and heaping me with praise, my parents called me a failure... I felt like an average joe. So I quit.

So last week, the first company came back to me saying they made a mistake, and are creating a new position they would like me to lead. I immediately accepted. Am I making a mistake?

So I made the decision a couple of days ago to quit smoking weed. My roommate is also quitting cold turkey with me.

To be blunt, it's been a little rough. We have some extra rolling tobacco so I've been smoking the occasional hand-rolled cigarette but I can already tell this is a terrible fucking idea. So, what can I do to help myself quit this? Sleeping is already a problem, tonight's the worst it's been so far,

It's tough, but don't replace you're addiction with another one man, that defeats the whole point.

As much as everyone is all "mmuh weed is good for you" wouldn't surprise me if your body is somewhat physically dependent on it. You're probably detoxing from it right now. Just stay strong. I think a marijuana detox only takes about 2 weeks.
>>
>>18256627

Try your best not to replace it with another addiction, but if you're having trouble sleeping, try something like melatonin (not really addictive), or trouble with anxiety, maybe a beer or two, something like that.

It's important to try to let your body adjust to life without being constantly fucked up on something.

Hey /adv/ I'd like to know you're honest opinion on whether or not I'm ugly. I've had people tell me I'm ugly, I've also had people say I'm not. Looks is something I've always been a little hostile about but I want to know what you guys, people outside of my everyday life, think. Don't hold back. These are my most recent ones. I know it's not safe putting myself out here like this but I legitimately want to know. Thanks

Should I just accept to being an introvert and keep at it or can one learn to be more outgoing, more talkative, more comfortable to be in the center of attention? What can be learned by practicing and what are the limits?
17 posts and 1 images submitted.

Probably the former although I encourage you to consider that you might not be an introvert and to consider in what ways you are introverted and what ways you are an extrovert. It's not usually all that black and white. Personally I have qualities of both, and you probably do too.
>>
>>18256585

Introvert vs extrovert has nothing to do with social skills, ability to be talkative, or ability to be the center of attention.

It just has to do with what you find draining, and what recharges you.

The rest of that shit is learned, trained, improved, and polished.

Pretty much the only limits in that kind of shit are the ones you tell yourself that exist.
>>
Thank you both
>>18256623
This is an other understanding of what I had of the matter. Comforting in a way. But it seems that these social things are strongly connected to the introvert-extrovert distinction (and in between). I find these social expressions very draining but I gues a lot of it has to do with being uncomfortable/ insecure in doing it and maybe learning them makes it less draining.

So recently, I've gotten a job and my girlfriend doesn't like it, because of how many girls work there. In fact, after weeks of training, she was still mad that I got it. Today, I was looking through her insta and saw she was followed to an old bf, and I didnt like it, so I confronted her. She whined and whined and made ME the bad guy because I "stalked her insta," keep in mind she owns the password to my fb, insta, discord, even skype. Why am I the bad guy for this? Am I? Or are bitches just crazy?

how connected is your relationship atm. Are you living together?

and what job did you get that it matters if you work with girls?
>>
>>18256584
Quit job, become houseman, smoke dope day in day out, eventually play victim every time she reminds you who wears the pants in relationship and makes money. Because apparently equal career opportunities is bad. I would go even further, and get a job at where she works.

My retard of a wife has a gambling problem!!!

The short of it is- moved to vegas, more work , pay less .

But now my wife spends everything she earns at this shitty corner McCasino called dottys!!

Anyway to fix her?! Im fucking mad guys

>>18256553

Fuckin' Dottys man, they're everywhere.

Vegasbro here though, that shit is challenging. People get addicted to the highs of winning, and I've seen it ruin a lot of lives. That first win is SO EASY, and then you feel like you can do it again. Then when you lose what you've won, you feel the urge to "win it back," knowing that just one more jackpot is going to make everything okay again. But it doesn't come, and you've buried yourself.

Since she's your wife, is there a way to set limits on the finances? Like a set amount that can be taken out of your account before going to the bank? Can you talk to her about responsibly sharing the money, maybe with her letting you control how much she can take out at a time until she's less interested in going to Dotty's?

There's Gambling Anonymous meetings, and I've been to one to support a friend, but as an alcoholic that can't stand AA, I don't know if I should recommend GA as any kind of a solution either.
