As you might've guessed, I've got a problem with resilience: I really have none of it (or pretty close).

I have been a more or less avoidant person for at least 15 years now, especially in my teen years, so I didn't build up any resistance to setbacks, failure and rejection (the fact that I'm a somewhat sensitive bitch with an inferiority complex, poor self-control, and a negative view of life doesn't help, either).

Now, this constitutes an obstacle for several things, mainly (my priorities might be skewed, but whatever, it also serves as an example) the managing of my body image: I literally can't see my social life (especially with women) ever going somewhere until I gain some self-esteem in this department, because it really holds me back a lot.
But it's difficult: I almost always don't even start doing anything (because I'm ashamed of showing myself) and, when I do, because I have very little resistance to exertion, I get frustrated pretty easily when I think about how fruitless it all is unless I keep repeating that humiliating experience over and over.

I'm not used to suffering (not in this way, at least), and the idea that the only way out is through endless pain disheartens me to no end.
What can I do?

TL;DR: Lacking resilience. What do?

You're not talking about resilience. Resilience is proven to yourself by enduring hardships. Avoiding difficult situations is just cowardice.

Fact is that you don't know how resilient you are, because you refuse to test yourself. Try it, the feeling of going through some shit and coming out the other side successfully is great.

Protip: we are each of us stronger than we think

So I'm currently 18 and I'm a senior in high school. When I was a freshman, I had to leave school due to anxiety and bullying issues. I was put into a home schooling program. After 3 years of being in social isolation, I'm coming out of my shell.

I'm currently in running start, and I had to register with my local school district to do the running start program. So even though I don't go to my local school, I'm allowed to join their proms, dances, and other school activities since I'm technically registered.

Recently, a girl asked me to prom, and I'm so confused on what to do. On one side, I want to go to prom, mainly because I've missed out on such a huge part of my young life, and prom would be an everlasting memory to have because I'm a huge believer of making memories. But on the other side, I'm terrified. Being at my school and seeing all the people gives me major anxiety. Like, if I went to prom, I would seriously be scared of having a panic or anxiety attack. I'm just so conflicted. I don't know what to do. I want to live this part of my high school life, but I'm scared my anxiety won't let me. What should I do?

How do I try to be an actor while not fucking up my life if I fail?

I got into a great Drama school here in the UK and I'm starting this September. These schools are harder to get into than Oxford / Cambridge and I still can't believe I have a place there. The acting scene in the UK is different to the US, way more anal about formal training. It's important to go to a reputable school, where you trained the first thing casting directors look at and if you don't have formal training you're not getting that audition.

I really want to be an actor, it's the only thing I've ever cared about and probably the only thing I'm good at too.

But the unemployment rate is 85%. Realistically I'm not going to be one of that 15% who makes it.

I'm still going to try it anyway. I have my place and it's the only thing I want to do. But when I'm 30 and I've wasted my 20s what do I do then?

I don't want to end up working in call centre or something depressing like that when I'm 40 but I won't have any skills and my work history will be shit so it's the only place I'll end up getting hired.

wat do, 4chan?

To the fools who dream. Don't stop chasing what you want in life

But realistically you'll need to work and go to as many auditions as possible when you have time. Some actors don't get their break until relatively late in life. And if you dont make it as an actor then you can still work in film or theatre in a different capacity
>>

>if you dont make it as an actor you can still work in film or theatre in a different capacity

This would be nice but the whole industry is overcrowded. Very hard to do anything without direct experience. The school I'm going to offers BAs in every area of the industry. They even have a stage managing one. Imagine having to train for 3 years to turns lights on and off.

>>18206179
Harder to get into then Oxford or Cambridge? Okay. Well congratulations you are better at pretending to be a character then other people are and apparently there are a lot more wannabe pretenders compared to physicists.

Neither, going to a college for art will only put you into ridiculous debt that you will never pay off and either teach you retarded modernist ideas about art by which you'll never improve yourself, or will just teach you CalArts style by which you'll only ever be able to draw one way and will be among competition of literally everyone in your age group who draws the same way.

If you want to improve your art, draw more and more and steal liberally from better artists and work to master their strong suits until you can adapt them seamlessly to yours. This is how it's done.

That eliminates the issue of debt but it doesn't eliminate the fact that spending years of your life to learn a water-down talent you can already learn by yourself is counterproductive.

How do I help my husband get off alcohol?
He recently relapsed and just got out of the hospital. They didn't give him any prescriptions just told him to stop drinking. He wants to taper off but he keeps buying more and drinking more while I'm working. It's been 3 days and he's drinking a little more every day instead of less. I don't know what to do. He's going to die if he keeps this up. He had the will to walk a mile and a half to the liquor store but not to drink less. He tells me his withdrawals are too difficult to deal with unless he tapers. What can I possibly do? This is my first time going through this with him and I'm at a loss.

then you don't want to stop biting your nails. simple as that.

So I'm a 21 y.o female kissless/dateless virgin, and there's a guy in my university who i've started talking to thats into what I'm into, we added each other on Steam, but I'm not into him that way. Even though I want to be friends, I can't help but feel like even just being friendly to him could be leading him on. He's not ugly by any means, he's average, I'm just not attracted to him. He just asked me to the movies over Steam, and I've never gone to the movies before with just me and a guy, even as friends (which I intend for this to be, i dont want to view this as a date, asked me very casually) Am I just in my own head too much and should I just enjoy finally making a friend at university? I can't fully enjoy myself though because I can't kick the feeling of leading him on/he MUST like me, right?

Other girls, how do you deal with this? And guys, what do you think I should do? I don't want to straight up say, btw im not into you romantically to make things awkward, and I do still want a friend.

Ghost him immediately. He is literally going to fall in love with you, and you'll become his oneitis. Cut contact before his heart can get fully shattered.

That or act just completely disgusting and unattractive around him. Maybe you can scare him off that way. I presume you are fat? Play on that somehow to back him off
>>
>>18210309
Joke answer clearly, but i'll humor it.
Not fat, and i'm not just gonna ghost him. Already exchanged numbers and Steam ID's. Plus he just bought me something off of my steam wishlist for my birthday.

I read lips at the moment but I do not think sign language would work there because it is a completely different language. I know some sign but is basic I am also dyslexic so the thought of trying to learn another language is nearly impossible I already have enough issues with English.

I am feeling really guilty about it too because I told my mom about it and she said that if I do not go that I am a bad wife.

Hey everyone,

I'm lonely that's a fact, I don't have friends,
I hate my life, still going to high school, I haven't had a girlfriend in over four years, I don't do shit of my days, I go to school, spend the whole day hoping time goes faster, and try to avoid being bullied, go home turn my computer on and watch yt videos, eat, go to sleep. (well i jerk off before I go to sleep) and on and on it goes that has been my life for at least five years, i don't have friend so to speak I talk to people at school but that's all. I've never had anyone over at my house, and I've nerver been to someone's since I was a kid. I hope I make sense, cause I often don't. I need advice, I don't no what to do, all I know is that rn i'm not going to change anything if I continue like this, what can I do to meet new people, hell even online I don't have friends.

Find hobbies that aren't as asocial. Things like biking, hiking, disc golf, whatever. It doesn't have to be something amazing that will impress all the lads and lasses - just something to fill your time.

Computers, videogames, jerking off all fuck with your dopamine/reward system if abused. Try limiting your time with all of those. Stop watching porn, masturbate once or twice a week if you can. No fap is a meme so don't fall for it.

Join clubs, be someone who comes off as more welcoming if you want friends but suck at approaching others. That means being more clean cut/approachable.

You don't have to completely change your style, but make sure you smell decent and don't dress like a school shooter or meth head or however you call your style.

I don't know. Try to find ways to be content with solitude. It's strange, but when I was ok with being on my own is when people started pouring into my life.
>>
>>18210108
Also, to add to the limiting masturbation/eliminating porn

Don't think of it as a solution for anything. Don't think of not jerking off as a cure.

Treat it as an act of self-discipline. That's something modern society lacks. If you can have discipline, then you're way far ahead of the curve when it comes time to find a career.

Other things like making your bed, building a schedule/routine and sticking to it, working out, etc. all help.

If you decide to work out, again - treat it as a discipline rather than "oh, gonna get ripped, gonna get all the chicks" or some shit.

If you want to exercise and learn discipline without being a gym rat, learn a martial art. They're very meditative and less gay than yoga. Unless you are gay, then do yoga. Or, if you aren't gay join yoga to get girls.

>>18210075
Make conversation with people, keep it light and friendly. There are a bazillion videos on YT to teach you how to be more social.

Next stage is to get involved in as many OUTSIDE activities as possible, that's how you meet people. Sports is a good one or just some kind of hobby that involves leaving the house.

Restrict computer time to 1 hour a day and go out after school. Look for events in your area and attend them.

i wouldnt say they look like girls legs in particular, like i could easily see those being a guys legs and feet. they are on the dainty side. if you shave your legs, stop, but id lick them up and down and im a homo so i think that means they are at least obviously guyish

get into meditation and try to control your hormones, this way, you can do the same things depression meds do

If you acknowledge depression as something more than a simple mood and the fact it's related to your body's functioning flaws, why are you so against taking meds?

So it's settled
I'm going to lose my virginity to a decently priced prostitute (costs just about everything I have for 4 hours) on Saturday
Then spend Sunday deciding wehther to kill myself after the experience (No virginity isn't the reason)

Any suggestions

>>18209851
if you want to kill yourself you can pretty much do whatever you want.

you won't need 4 hours. Try just 1 hour. She won't remember and you won't remember it next week.

I wanted to die so I joined a church, I don't believe in god but I made some good friends
>>
>>18209851

you're not losing your virginity.

imagine you want to be one of those hunters that hunt big game, so you go to africa and pay those people who capture it for you, then let you shoot it.

that man is not a hunter. he just killed an anima;. big difference.

you are having sex, but you are not losing your virginity (especially not if you're using a condom)
>>
>>18209857
Stop being such a party pooper. He will lose his virginity. And if he doesn't kill himself it will greatly help him get sex in the future as well. Getting it over it does help a lot.

Are you a virgin by any chance?
