Learning how to deal with my parents disliking me?
I am the eldest out of my two brothers but I was born with a lot of health problems and disabilities because of this I was vulnerable at a young age and ended up getting groomed by an adult that in return ended up creating even more problems for me and I ended up developing agorphobia as I got older.
I ended up going to college online for web design I got honnors but after completing college and going into the work field remotely I realized that web design affected my health too greatly so I ended up freelancing art I make roughly 2k a month which is not that much but I can live with it and my health is better so that is all that matters.
My parents do not think too highly of me though. My two younger brothers are engineers and making 100k+ a year they are always bragging to family and friends about how successful my brothers are. When they visit all they do is talk about my brothers and I try to change the topic but they will just ignore me and keep going on. I am very proud of my little brothers but I do not feel it is right for my parents to love me less for going my own path for my health. My parents often belittle my health issues and disabilities and will say they are non existant but when I try to do anything outside of my comfort zone they will bring up my health issues and tell me not to do. It is very belittling and embarassing. I am just reccently getting comfortable with the fact that my life will be based more on taking care of my health than career and that was very difficult for me to grasp. How my parents treat me though is putting salt in it even more though. I have tried talking to them about it but they will just ignore what I have to say.
What do you do when you are the least favourite child out of your family? I really do not want to cut my parents out of my life and I can tell by how they treat me it makes my brothers uncomfortable too.

So what exactly are your health issues? Give me a quick rundown.
>>
>>18151208
I have a lot of deadly allergies and a lot of allergies its easier for me to say what I can eat than can not, crohns, dsylexia, stutter and hearing disability that was born with. My body pretty weak and because of the stuff that happened when I was a kid my anxiety can affect my health largely especially crohns because when anxiety high I get far worst ulcers. I take medical weed that is helping but I am constantly having to watch what I eat and do so I do not end up bed ridden.

>>18151289
Sounds like you have a hard time, my friend. I dont know your parents, but if you think its possible to talk to them you could try to make them understand how you feel about all this. I dont think they can blame you for your health problems. I hope your brothers respect you at least?

Gonna have to be strong for her. Right now, that means continuing as if nothing is wrong. Act as if a family friend didn't die. When and if she wants to talk about it with you; if she wants space, she'll bring it up. No reason for you to do anything else but act like normal.
>>
>>18150988
>Its been like a week
Fucking christ, man. She's having a rough time, those won't last forever. Pull your head out of your ass, wrap her in a few blankets and feed her ice cream. Watch some Disney flick with her and pet her hair during it. This isn't about you, it's about her. Act like it. Be supportive instead of being a self-centred prick. If you keep this up, she'll walk for sure, sooner rather than later.

When I was kid, I loved reading about WWII. The thought of combat and the badassery of it amazed me. Being a marine, like those in the Pacific back then, was my dream as a kid.
Learning about figures such as Napoleon, Frederick the Great, etc. revived this dream. Leading men into battle with an idealistic mission seemed like a calling.
However, I grew to see that modern warfare is nothing like the romanticized past. Many of the once 'honorable' things of the past are no longer present in modern warfare. Likewise, some actions conducted by the military contradict its own doctrines. Yet, I still want to gain the experience and discipline offered by the military.
TL;DR Should I join the military (not army) via college ROTC if my main goal is to develop discipline and military skills? I would do just the required 4 years and then return to civilian life.

Dude...don't.
Do you honestly want to be ordered by people you don't know and who don't give a fuck about you; to go kill other human beings over who's imaginary friend is the best?
That's basically what it boils down to...
Imagine in 5 years time - would you feel proud of the fact that you killed people because you were told to?
>>
>>18150969
That is what I want to avoid. But would that kind of killing be found even in the navy? If so, is there any other way to gain the skills offered by the military?
>>
>>18150938
Honestly, it sounds like your entire vision about what army is like is romanticized. You'll spend 4 years getting yelled at by someone who's most likely a complete fucking tool, but because he really enjoys yelling at people and inspires big emotions (mostly fear, hate or reluctant hero worship) in little guys, he gets to do it. No matter what you end up doing during those 4 years, you'll do it with a bunch of stupid assholes who either hate doing it or love it way too much. You won't develop dicipline, you'll just become very good at doing what you're told to do and once you're out that lack of structure will leave you drifing. Frankly, unless you're absolutely sure you'll like it, don't go. Going because you read about wars in books when you were a kid is not a reason good enough.
If i have a grinder but it's at someone else's house, can I get in trouble if their house gets searched but I'm not there?

Is it illegal to own drug paraphernalia in your country/state/whatever.
If not, forget about it.
That shit is sold openly in the UK.
>>
only if he rats you out
>>
>>18150929
If it's sold openly, no.
If it has grinder up drugs in it, or appeared to have it, yes.
If it could be traced back to you, yes.
But it would be he said/she said at that point

What's it like to transfer college? Seriously considering it after two years but I don't want to take any longer for my degree than the 4 years I already planned.
Also switching from a top 10 Canadian university to an American university in the mid 150's in rank, is it a mistake? I really hate this place but I don't want to disappoint my parents

It's completely unexciting. You stop going to one college and start going to another.
If you're going from a supposedly 'good' college to a supposedly 'not as good' college or vice-versa, in all likelihood you'll quickly realize there's very little if any difference in the quality of teaching.
>>
I mean, it is possible to move and find yourself in paradise but if you're at a top ranked school there are probably all the amenities already.
Visit places you think you want to move to for a week and go about as if you lived there. It'll help prevent moving into the same situation.
>>
>>18150956
yeah it would be to move back close to home, in a different environment totally. I'm not concerned with the place it would be, just worried about doing an extra year for a worse degree or something

Turning 33 in two weeks.
You're not feeling bad from age. You're feeling bad from wasted years. First develop a skill, second develop a valuable output of some sort, third develop a lifestyle that doesn't revolve around entertaining yourself.
Anyone have any experience lying about their GPA on employment applications?
How did it go? How much work do employers do to verify your GPA is legitimate? How common is it for them to ask for a sealed transcript? If I go in confidently with a printout of my grades off the official school website, (obviously altered, but nonetheless completely legitimately looking), how many employers will bother to dig any deeper?
No, I'm not a retard who made a 1.5 and is pretending to be a straight-A student. More like a 3.1 who just wants to improve his chances a bit. I am confident I actually know the material my degree says I know.

Employers don't really give a fuck about your GPA. They care about the fact that you've got the education and relevant skills and they care that you've got the experience, that's it. So lying about GPA is pointless, because either they won't care or you'll get caught and then disqualified for being a lying little shit.
>>
>>18150907
Maybe that's true, but when you've just graduated and your resume is basically blank aside for whatever stupid shit you've done in school and whatever $8-an-hour jobs you've had as a teenager, they don't really have anything else to go on. If I was 35 and had ten years of hard experience to put down, you're right, I wouldn't give a fuck, but I'm not.
Your grades are legally sealed. Nobody is allowed to see them unless you personally hand them over. I'm thinking it over, I really don't see any way I could get caught. Worse case scenario, they tell me they need to see a sealed transcript from the school, I nod and agree, and a few days later call them and tell them I'd unfortunately accepted a position elsewhere and cross them off the list.

Bump...any other perspectives?

How the fuck do I gain discipline and motivation once older? I'm 26 and I'm embarrassed to be haunted by the same problems that afflicted me when I was 16. I almost feel like I should join the military to shape me up only I'm a fat fuck as well.

By growing the fuck up and realizing life isn't just fun and games all the time. You sound like one of those discusting cunts who expect things handed to them and when they realize they might need to do shit, they just collapse under the pressure and whine like little bitches. Life gets boring sometimes, get over yourself and just do what you're supposed to fucking do. I bet your parents spoiled you and you've never been ablte to cope with doing shit by yourself.

These are just meaningless platitudes. I'm after solutions.
Yes my parents spoilt me a little but I want to change.

>>18150873
>I'm after solutions
Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is no magic trick to motivation or discipline. Either you have them or you don't. It's litreally just about making the decision and then acting on it. There are no significant ways to skip those two steps or making them easier. Only consistent, conscious practice is what will help build self-dicipline, but even then you need to first have some to even get started.

Don't mess around with it when its not working properly, especially since it's a problem with the battery/charging unit. I heard of people having theirs explode in their face and that is no bs since vapes mostly have a battery type that could actually go up in flames if overcharged or shorted.
Get a new one.
If I buy nudes from someone online and they don't deliver is that reportable offense? If so where do I report. They're on a public website I at least want to prevent other guys from getting suckered.

Hey, guys, I'd appreciate input.
I got a date in a few days with a Tinder slut and I'm not her type/she thinks she's sofisticated/multicultural/fancy/ohlookatmeImfrenchbaguettebaguette but I am hilarious and she hates funny guys (same joke I told successfully to a few different chicks about muslims, she hated and said was a turnoff). Now, I know I've had girlfriends prettier and all-around better than her and I could just turn the date into a skit/assholefest, but that's the easy route and since I'm wasting my resources to go and meet her I'd like to (at least initially) try being a normal/unfunny guy, since humour is one of my pride traits and since you guys (barring /r9k/, man fuck those guys) are not funny (except when you try to give serious life advices), I'd appreciate your input.
Oh, I'm a bit of a prick, so half the battle's won already, innit? :v

I've lived an extremely sheltered, closed in excuse for a life and I want to break out of it. I'm a 20 year old handholdless virgin and I feel like I haven't really "lived". I've spent my whole life in a room by myself staring at my computer screen and I'm tired of it. I'm currently in college for engineering, but I realize that my current path will lead to more of what I want to escape. I also experience a considerable amount of anxiety(currently on meds). I'm at a complete loss for what path to take. I'd ideally like to find some way to travel, but I know I'll be the same person regardless of where I go.

i am also in the same predicament.
It has made me such a boring person, I find it hard to make friends and have continuous conversations.
I've always heard "fake it until you make it" instead of being yourself, but pretending to be an interesting, funny person is extremely difficult when you aren't.
>>
>>18150790
It's a feeling I think a lot of people on a site like 4chan experience. Being in college has forced me to be slightly more social, but the damage has already been done. I still retreat to my room with my emotions alternating between sad, slightly optimistic, and emotional husk.
>>
>>18150806
>but the damage has already been done
sad but true. we spent our formative years grinding RPG and RTS vgs while everyone else was learning social skills and exploring relationships.
The worst part is wanting to be social when I'm alone and wanting to be alone when I'm social. There's no winning, we're damaged human beings.

Hey adv I am really picky and specific and out of my whole year there is only one girl that I somewhat like. I'm kind of attached to this person and I was lately thinking of asking her out.
This may seem easy and all but there are a few obstacles:
1) She's only in one of my classed and that one class is discussion of sensitive topics. I always voice my opinion in the class. I am the most right wing person in the class and school most likely.
2) She is a liberal/progressive and supports all the average things everyone on the left supports but a bit more moderate and respectable than other classmates, she doesn't agree with polygamy and etc which is good.
3)She cycles home while I take the bus.
4)We never talk as there is no time when we are even close to each other due to the classes and the fact that she hangs out with a group of girls in the corner of the hallway and never talks to people outside of it during lunch breaks.
5)You may say I don't know this person but I do, we have been on a debating team and worked together for a while. I understood that she is a good person and is actually very intelligent. Working with someone is a very good way to discover that person.
6)I think she may dislike me for my opinions and thinks I'm some sort of bigot or whatever.
btw we got on really well at the debating event and I made her laugh as well as flirted a bit (Flirting is an effort for me as it makes me cringe)
I honestly dunno what to do about this.The thought has been on my mind for a while so I think I should do something about it.
She's about a 8/10 imo due to the combination of her looks/body and personality.
Pls help me I will accept any advice.

btw when I say I'm right wing I mean I sometimes go on Iron March and listen to Slavros. I'm don't classify myself as fascist but my principles and beliefs are very close to it.
The whole school is a shitlib school and there are lgbt posters hanging everywhere as well as pro-refugee and anti-racism/bullying posters.

my life just hasn't been going well the past few years. i don't even want to be here, and then this happened.
all i want is the love and affection of a female but it feels like i'll never get it because of my fucked up dick and the anxieties that come with it.
Can anyone relate?
How do i fix my dick?
I honestly believe my entire life would be different if i didn't have this problem.

Just relax and take it easy man. Don't jump straight to sex, just hang out with a girl and get to know her first.
Also masturbate, it'll help with the sensitivity.
>>
>>18150718
yeah the only 2 options you have are a: smash smash smash just fuck until you dont care anymore, this is only really an option if you can get laid.
2nd option is kinda better, get to know a girl take it slow, tell her about the problems you have and she will try to help you out. who knows maybe you will find a girl who loves that you cum fast so she can just keep milking you.

>falling for the Jew
There's literally no need to get circumcised whatsoever. You fucked up.
How do you tell your gf that you don't want to see her this weekend? See, I just got a Nintendo Switch with Zelda and I really want to spend my weekend playing vidya. I'd invite her over but she doesn't like video games. This isn't something that happens often but I know her, she'll say that I don't want to spend time with her and stuff.
Actually it's the first weekend that I want for myself but I really don't want to have a fight over this
Also, am I an asshole?
