Hello, I am a recently turned 19 year old poor and unattractive male who has had a fair share of life's hard knocks. I came to an epiphany after having a panic attack before my high school formal when I was 18 that when you are unattractive and poor nothing will ever end well for you which hit me like a ton of bricks and I decided to myself that I never wanted to be poor and unattractive again.

Since being accepted into a shit tier university all I have done is stay in my room, study and save student welfare money for Plastic surgery consultations I have socially withdrawn from all contact with friends. My goal is to never be poor and unattractive again and for the next three years I plan on nothing but studying and receiving plastic surgery procedures.

I am currently receiving purely high distinctions and distinctions at university and with these results I can probably transfer to Sydney Uni which is one of the most prestigious in the world and get a highly paying job which will also help pay my cosmetic procedures .
So 4chan, is this mental illness, an aspirational goal, or both?

What pain medecations are safe to take while using prescription Celebrex?

Im sick again, I woke up like this, and this time I don't feel like being in pain from body aches. Google is telling me acetomenophen (Tylenol) is safe to take because it's not an NSAID (but Celebrex is). Because I wasn't sure, I always just dealt with pain because I wasn't sure which pain reliever is safe to take while using Celebrex.

I just want second opinions please

Have you ever been in love with someone who died before you met them? It sucks.

I feel like that emo girl from World's Greatest Dad.

Hey, guys
So I'm falling for my coworker. To keep things short, one night some of us when out to drink and we both got pretty drunk. Since I got a little too messed up, she insisted that she take me home to keep me safe. After taking a uber back home she walked me up the stairs to my Apartment and went inside with me. She was in there for atleast 20-30min and I can hardly remember what happened, besides us being really touchy and me playing guitar. After awhile her boyfriend came to look for her and she left. I still talk to her a lot and she said that she wanted to make sure I got home safe. I honestly would believe this but we've always had a flirty relationship so idk what to think. I really like this girl but I really need advice on what to do.

I'm a guy that personally thinks he is a 6/10 but everyone always argues and calls me attractive and 8/10 or higher sometimes.

Whenever I go to bars or hang out with girl friends, they always flirt a lot and touch up on me. Like tonight I was taking a piss and it was just me and this girl I've known since middle school and she came up behind me and grabbed my dick, we both laughed because we are close, but I did kind of realize that I'm the one holding me back.

So the question is this: am I insecure or a pussy?

Because I do think I am attractive at times, and women and men flirt with me all the time, I just don't do anything about it because I'm super scared of getting hurt.

I'm almost 19 and still a virgin by choice really, I want the person I lose my virginity to to be someone super meaningful, even if it was a friend, I just don't know how to even come by it.

>TLDR: attractive /adv/irgin doesn't know what to do when girls flirt with him, should he say fuck it and start living are actually work out his emotions?

I'd truly appreciate your help tonight, /adv/.

TL;DR
I texted an ex earlier tonight by mistake. I found her number on a piece of paper in my wallet and tried it, but I realized my mistake once I knew who was on the other end. As of 2 months ago, we're not supposed to talk to each other anymore. Now we only feel worse about each other and we must start the healing process all over again. What does /adv/ do when they've been irreparably severed from the one they love?

The full story:
I met a girl at a friend's house party when I was 17. She told me she was 15, which was fine with me. She looked, talked, and acted as if she were 15 years old, or perhaps older. She was sweet and polite and everything I found intriguing in a person. We got drunk and fooled around, and mutually decided to keep in touch after that.

She definitely had issues with her mental health, as I did / still do, and she would ask me to cut her and hurt her the next time we should meet. She was very possessive and anxious; my therapist suggested she may have been a victim of past abuse. Our conversations were sometimes obscene in this way, but we also shared many deep and personal discussions. No matter where we are now, I'll always cherish those good conversations.

Or maybe not exactly shaving, more like trimming it down. I never had to do this before but now I'll need to.
I only have an electric razor here, can I use that? How do I make sure I don't cut myself, especially my scrotum. I'll also need to get rid of asshair, how do I do that?
No clue where to start, first time doing it, very hairy and I need to at least trim it so it's somewhat neat.

Anyone out there got any experience with breaking and entering? Or hell, just any kind of lucrative petty theft that is relatively idiot proof?

sobstory tiem
>7 months ago: kicked out of school
> few weeks later: GF of just over a year leaves me for some rich guy 20 years her senior
> 5 months ago: apartment floods with raw sewage, 80% of the shit I own goes up in a literal shitstorm
> 4 months ago: one of my friends moves Downtown, steals a good 500$, give or take, from me b4 he takes off, never to be heard from again
> 3 months ago: The fancy, rich people restaurant where I work as a line cook burns down cause some stupid fuck forgets to shut off an fryer or something
> Can't find work for shit, living off savings
> 1 month ago: savings run up
> this month: get a letter telling me I'v been denied snap cause my shithouse cell service keeps kicking the interviewer to voicemail
> Down to 3 cans of beans, 4 packets of oatmeal, and like 3$
>probably guna have to pawn my pc to make rent
> find out today my Dad has skin cancer
>wont be able to go back to work for another 2 months

Not guna lie, contemplated Anhero, but decided I wasn't TOTALLY out of options, and started looking around online for tips and walking around my neighborhood looking for vulnerable businesses or homes i could easly snatch a few things from to sell.

So I'm looking for advice: If you had to resort to petty theft to keep themselves afloat, what would be the easiest and/or least risky way to make a few bucks with some kind of petty theft, nothing felony level.

The title may be misleading, so I'll make it clear that I am the one with both of these things. I'm more or less fucked in the head, and have been for has long as I can remember. Before anyone asks, I was in and out of therapy since I was 6, and I'm 28 now, though its been at least 10 years since my last visit. Mostly depression, which is diagnosed, but there is a very real probability that I am also schizoid.

Obviously, I've never had a girlfriend, and frankly I don't want one. The whole process is more trouble that it's worth, and I can honestly say that the thought of having another person being there (literally or figuratively like texting) constantly not only sounds tiring but also annoying.

The trouble is that my one friend's girlfriend's friend is into me. I've danced around it and shit, but they're drinking and he straight up asked me. I haven't responded yet, but the last time I basically shut down for a week. I honestly don't know what to say because it's literally never happened before, but I can't just say no.

Give me a reason to go on. I hate the world. To go on living in a world where psychopaths and sociopaths can kill or break people for power, for money, even for entertainment. I hate society. According to society, these people are saints and model citizens, until they are caught in which case they are subhuman. I hate life. Life is only suffering. You're told your best times are when you're young. My youth has been shit. I was alone and I wanted to kill myself but couldn't let the 2 or 3 people who cared down. Life is only suffering. You either work until you bleed or you die because you're lesser than everyone else. The goal in life is living long. Living a long life you don't want. Fuck that. If this is the best it gets might as well end it right now. But there's the biggest reason of all. I hate myself. I hate who I've become. I hate how I can't see good in everything. I hate my own hatred of everything I see. I despise anything and everything, including myself.

Give me a reason to go on.
