What do I do if I don't feel passionate about anything useful and hate doing most things (in regards to college majors)?
My father keeps telling me to study something I enjoy but I can't seriously go back to Uni and study art history or music or war history and do something with it can I? I can imagine business management and managing subcontractors for different jobs but I'm not sure.
Fairly lost. I'm not asking someone to make the decision for me. I just need some input, I think I'm narrowing my views too much because I'm stressed as hell about getting a job to not be homeless.

fuck it OP just study what you find interesting. If you are active enough while in college and search out opportunies, like research and internships, you will be able to find something.
Still, even if it takes you 10 years to apply your degree, wouldn't you want to eventually do something you like rather than forcing yourself to work to live.
>>
>>18207481
business management is not a real degree neither is business, bc its just common sense and no one in the world hires people to manage being a fresh degree earner.
go accounting, or just work part time and listen to podcasts and watch videos of professionals in a bunch of different fields until you figure out what you want to do. go volunteer if can as well so you can see if you can do that kind of work beofre you get a degree( like lets you you want medicine, but then go volunteer and you find out that you faint at the sight of blood)
dont just rush into school for shit you dont like or know about bc you will waster everyones time and money
>>
>>18207481
well OP, let me just preface my advice by saying that I am fortunate enough to love what I do, that I chose my career in 7th grade and never deviated, and that my career just so happens to be "useful" so the jobs and money are easy to come by.
With that said, I would never advise anyone to "study what you find interesting". I think Mike Rowe put it best when he said something akin to "Don't follow your passion, bring your passion with you wherever you go." No one in the history of Earth wanted to work in a sewer, but lots of people have made fantastic money doing so, and some have come to love it.
I would advise you to study something "useful" and to bring your passion to it and devote yourself to becoming the best at it, even if it seems frivolous. You can follow your passions after you've a steady and solid professional life.

I sit here sad every day thinking about the guy that broke up with me. It's been 2 weeks since I have seen him. 2 weeks since he ended it. I have seen no progress in myself other than plotting how to get him back. If it's not that then it's me thinking about dying and how convenient it would be. I work 45 hours a week and I'm in college but that doesn't keep my mind off of it. I was the push in the relationship. He said jump and I did right away. He said he loved me and I had bliss from that. I think that's what was the best part was. Why am I so fucking sad... I want him back but I don't think he would have changed. Please help.

You're stressed and you will get through it. Sometimes just taking a step back can open your eyes to new things as well as new people. So, don't worry about trying to get back with someone who isn't willing to commit just think about the people who care for you: your friends and family. They are the people who can help make you happy. You are only going to hurt yourself more thinking about him and it will effect your school and work if you do.

>>18207311
You need to learn to build your own self-esteem and remove your self-worth from the equation of love. Think more rationally about the situation.
>>
Here's how I get over break ups: First, allow yourself to be sad about it for awhile. Then when you're sick of it, you gotta start hating them. Think of every negative thing about their personality, their appearance, dum things they've said. Basically, you want to start thinking of them as a total loser, and that you are so much better off without them. Then after awhile, you stop thinking about them.

First off, how fucked am I looks wise? Do I even stand a chance? On one hand I have a hot as hell 9/10 lesbian girl holding my face in her hands and telling me I'm beautiful and should model, a guy friend says I should model, a gay guy called me hot as hell, and on the other I have people carding me when I try to get into clubs because "I have a baby face"
I also can't into facial hair outside of basically face pubes so I have to constantly shave
If I'm not fucked, should I just go to a photographer and get quality pictures? My phone camera sucks and none of my friends can be bothered to shut the fuck up and go out with me and take pictures

I'm a NEET in my late 20s who lives with my parents. I do make a little bit of money doing odd jobs. I'm good at saving my money, so I have a few thousand dollars in savings. I have credit cards with high limits. I pay for my own phone, food, and vehicle expenses. I technically legally own my own business, but I have no income from it at the moment.
My question is, though, am I going to be viewed negatively by potential romantic partners for living with my parents and having little income despite spending most of my time working on my business and having a decent amount of financial resources? Does ambition even matter?

I have no interest in changing what I'm doing. My plan has always been to get my own place once my business becomes profitable and I can afford to do so. I'm just wondering where I stand in life to others. I can live with the consequences of my choices.

Should I just dump her? We have talked about her friends, she really sees them as cool beta faggots, but then again I don't think she's respecting me much as her boyfriend. What do you say /adv/?

>>
I wouldn't break up just yet. I have a few male friends who are just friends, because I like things that aren't generally liked by a lot of girls (playing music, politics, philosophy, video games etc.)
so making friends with guys was easier.
I would never fuck any of them. So just wait and see what happens, although I would talk to her about you feeling like she doesn't value you and you're beginning to worry about her friends.
Also nice Camus pick by the way. I had a massive celebrity crush on him when I was like, 12.
>>
>>18207111
Of course I don't want to. But I think and objective point of view should help a little. Would you dump someone given those circumstances? She hasn't really given me reasons to not trust her. But then again she acts like no other girlfriend I've ever had or met (going out with just male friends and not wanting to bring their boyfriend, or going to the forest with just a female friend and again not inviting her bf).

I'm a aspiring artist who really wants to do web comics later on in life.
That doesn't seem like a reasonable/respectable career path though so I thought I would make compromises by pursuing a trade first.
Then I could have a reliable source of income that can support my hobby (hopefully profession if its successful). However I'm just kinda worried ill loose sight of my dreams and end up working as a plumber or some shit the rest of my life.
Would a art career (graphic designer/tattoo artist) be more wise or should I just grow the fuck up and forget about it?

>would an art career be more wise or i should i grow the fuck up and forget about it?
neither. your first instinct was the correct one. have your trade ready but be prepared to only ever have art be your hobby.
the real issue is whether or not you want a family / kids.
>>
>>18207109
alright then that's reassuring some artist where telling me it was a death sentence. I'm fine with it being a "hobby" but I obviously have high hopes for it. A family would be neat but I'm still a virgin and I don't have much desire to be a dad you know? Making stories that really resonate with people like spider man,berserk,watchmen etc seems much more fulfilling personally
>>
>>18207154
There are few fathers who would contest the claim that being a dad is the most fulfilling aspect of their life.
From what I've gathered, becoming a dad is the most life changing experience there is, and nothing shifts your perspective and dreams more. I wouldn't want to rule out such an experience yet
But I'm not a father, that's just the answer I've gotten from the fathers i've asked (like 4 or 5)

Hi, I just went on my very first date ever with a chinese girl yesterday. I have a second date organised but I am not certain how I should handle it.
>Meet girl
>Really really quiet, so I take the lead role asking questions, joking and being nice to her
>Constant giggling from her, a good amount of eye contact
>Take her to a french resturant and we have steak
>Still sitting with me, trying to learn about her, and she is quite quiet but still laughing and covering her face a little
>Ask her which she wanted to date me, make it clear it's because I thought she was attractive and her behavior is making me think she's even more cute
>Full blush mode, doesn't answer for 3 minutes, eventually says she was reluctant because she's 2 years older (19 vs 21) but went because she thought my dog was cute (riight)
>Continue laughing, go off to toilet
>Come back and we finish eating, but she didn't finish her food and after a little bit of time trying to get a straight answer out she says we should get the bill
>Do so, I feel rather awkward and sorta shut down, but still a bit of eye contact and occassional giggling from her
>Get off bus back at uni, she comes up to hug, but I don't because too awkward
>Feel miserable, but she messages me like 20 minutes later saying she really enjoyed it
>Next day, messages me first, saying she slept really well. We organise to see a movie, beauty and the beast
>This is now
I have no idea what to do, but she's asked about my flat quite a bit. What do? What do you think?

Girls smile and laught when they like you.
She didnt finish food to look like she is guarding her figure (to not get fat). She complimented you indirectly (dog lol).
Buy condoms and keep doing what you are doing. Dont try to get into her panties. Be nice and you cant fail. She will sooner or later try herself to do something. The sole fact you can make her blush is enough.
Take her for a walk after movie and hold her hand with interlocked fingers. Hugs allowed :-)

I never thought of that, I assumed she wanted to get it over with initially, but later realised it wasn't anything negative. It was a 10 oz steak tbf.

Just try to have a good time. If she doesn't mention anything about the relationship, then she probably just wants to be friends

Posted this earlier today at around 4 AM to very few replies, here's another shot.
To say that I'm depressed seems like a stretch, but I'm definitely unsatisfied with my life. In thinking about why that is, it hit me: people have only ever existed to disappoint me.
Time and time again, whether in work, in love, or in friendship, I'm always let down. I can't depend on anyone but myself, and it's incredibly sad. Love is especially challenging for me.
Just when I think I've found someone to spend my life with, I somehow... Wear out my welcome. I'm not funny enough. I'm not always 'on' 100% of the time. I work too hard or too much. I'm strange. On and on and on.
What do I do? How do I overcome existential malaise? As I type this, I'm watching a Top 50 Wrestlers DVD and enjoying myself. But there's gotta be more to life than this. I'm not sure what the hell I'm expecting here, but any advice or encouraging words would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hey /adv/,
Glad to be posting here.
I have voluntarily agreed to be posted in a country where majority people do not speak english. I am a programmer by profession and people in my office do speak english but not most of the time.
Having this been a voluntary decision, I am afraid of walking back on it and feel like I'll be letting down the people who trusted me and got everything done for me to be here.
But every day and mostly weekends are hard because its hard to be in an almost alien place and harder to not have people who I can speak to.
Going out to pubs and bars to meet people is hard because of language barrier. I've already tried a couple of times.
Continuing with this would definitely help my career as a programmer because I am working on tech that I haven't worked on before and its interesting enough.
At the same time, I am weighing the cost of progress of career with the daily (and mostly on weekends) loneliness that I am going through and not being able to identify myself as a part of the society or the people.
I am not sure if any of you have gone through something similar and have some words of advice.
Thank you!

Fucking baby. Move out. Once you have your own place and missing work means not paying rent or not eating, that's when maturity sets in. That's when you stop throwing tantrums that hurt your responsibilities, it's when you learn to deal with resentment in a functional (if not healthy) way, start sucking it up and get what needs to be done done despite how you feel, and when you start being an adult.
