I'm afraid for my future, and I'm pretty depressed in general.
I'm a 22 year old guy going to college for a degree in Psychology. I'm doing it because I want to help people, namely younger people through some of the same issues I faced in school among other things like having a troubled home life, but I don't know where to start when I'm done. And I don't know how I'd do anyway given the possible state I'd be in after. I don't know if I'm doing even close to well as it is. I don't have a car; I've been walking and hitching a ride from friends and family to get to work, I have very little experience living alone, I currently work a minimum wage job and live in a relatively small town with little opportunity in the way of getting anywhere else especially with the lack of transportation and experience given that this is the only job I've ever had.

I'm afraid for a few reasons. I feel like a failure as it is. Everybody else is already doing well for themselves. My brother is married and has experience in a lot of different things job-wise, him and his wife have their own house and are generally doing pretty well. I feel like I've been kind of left in the dust and that when I finally get as far as I can go with what I want to do, I won't really be all that young anymore. That I'll have gone through my remaining time as a young adult with one low paying job to my name, never having a girlfriend, not able to afford to move out, and with all of that, unable to go through with the career I've been aiming for, and never able to get any of the things I just mentioned because of it.

I've been scared of it for years and acted like it would all play out and that I'd learn things as I went along and they all became issues, and that I'd adapt. But I haven't come very far since graduating highschool and starting college. And I'm fucking terrified.

Where should I start, /adv/?

There are jobs in every field as long as your willing to travel to find that job. If you are white bonus points you can easily get a job in China.

Try psychiatry instead. For one, it's an actual field of medicine and it works unlike psychology. Also, it pays better.

being married is not a measure of success. it can really only measure two things.

1) luck
2) idiocy

My birthday was a couple days ago and my husband did nothing for me. I am kind of sad because every week I am doing something for my husband an example being I bought him a pokemon booster box and the new Zelda game this week. I feel really unappreciated I told him I wanted to do something for my birthday and his response was that he take me to this movie but it was a movie he liked not me and I told him that so he ended up taking me no where. I even sent him links to cheap ideas we could do but it never happened.

I am really sad guys my marriage has turned into one sided.

To be honest I do not want to have sex with someone who has stopped caring about me. Sex to me is something special towards two people who love each other. It feels like he is just keeping me around and I am trying everything to make him happy but no matter what I do it is not good enough for him and he ends up not even saying thank you or being kind to me. He is always taking his anger out on me and belittling me infront of his family. Last week I ended up crying at his parents house because of it. To be honest I am a bit obscure in my personality but I am attractive my husband is more normal and I think what he use to find qurky and cute about me are now annoying compared to normal people.

I cut myself back in the ninth grade, I regret it and it makes me feel like no guy will ever like me. Please don't hate, just be blatantly honest because I can't stop thinking about it. My scars remind me everyday that someday I'll have to be answerable to many people and they'll never fade.

You're only answerable to yourself. You're a survivor. You've chosen to keep going regardless of the pain. Don't ever allow anyone make you feel like less because you didn't know how to deal with the pain in a healthy way. You're beautiful, Anon, scars and all. Don't ever forget that. You understand me?

Guys won't judge you for your scars. But if you're really thinking that these scars are gonna be a bad thing, you can cover them with a tattoo.

> she wants to meet up and "talk"
>I am 29 y/o and have no desire to cheat or ruin what I have with my current gf

Talking to her only by your phone is a good idea. Never meet her again. And if I were you, I would not talk about this to this board, but with your current girlfriend. You want to help, and only this, make it clear.

You don't want your girlfriend finding about all this by finding all the secret calls you would have with this ex gf.

Hey y'all, since I was born my dad has been the owner of a bar. He doesn't have a manager to help run the bar so he has spent most of his time working there. He comes home late and I tend to only see him once a week. He knows very little about me, how can I create a better relationship with my dad?

unless hes willing to take time off or willing to let you work there, there isnt much you can do, but even if you work there it might not be an ideal way to become friends unfortunately.
>>
>>18134223
Work at the bar. See if he will let you in on the family business. You get some work experience, some money and time with your dad.
>>
I've tried talking to him about working at the bar, he says that I can but I have to commit myself to school and baseball at the same time. And when I get the opportunity to work, he usually doesn't allow me to attend. Good advice though, appreciate it!

Hello /adv/ I'm in a generous mood. My phone's fully charged, I have nothing to do and i have a fifth of 80proof Crown Royal all to myself.

My question for you is how much should I drink to get drunk but avoid throwing up? I'm 210lbs , 18% of that is body fat. The reason I ask is because I have this bad habit of starting off slow and then before I know it there's no more liquor and I'm staring at a pile of puke.

In the mean time I'll be assisting all of you the best I can. God bless

>how much hsould i drink

its irrelevant really, the issue isn't that you havent imposed some limit its that sudden;y its all missing, as in you drink and drink and cant control yourself.

if you can contorl yourself, just find out what your limit is. if you're drunk, you dont need more booze.

The problem that I have is that I get drunk and comfy. The wavy and loose feeling takes about 10 minutes to set in, and it's gone in 10 minutes. I feel entirely sober, So I just take another drink. After repeating that process 4 or 5 times the feeling will finally stick, and I'll feel that way for hours, then as it fades my stomach churns and any visual stimulation makes me nauseous. The only think that settles my stomach is another drink. But then I lay down swearing up and down that I'll never drink again because of how miserable I feel. Sometimes I can manage to sleep it off, other times I gotta vomit.

That's why my question was "how to drink to get drunk" meaning maintain that loose, energetic, expressive, wavy feeling for longer than 10 minutes without having to down a bottle and regret it later.

I've began with a single glass, I'll let you know how that goes when it's empty. I'll be tripfagging this entire board until I pass out, cheers!

I am not religious I want to be but I have trouble believing in god, I want to marry a Christian girl, Should I start attending a church and faking it or try to be convinced? will they find out that I don't really believe in it?

you need to find a version of god that works for you. you just need something outside of yourself to believe in

for a lot of people, "God" is just the collective force of people... if everyone around you says "God doesn't want us to wear green" and then they all stop wearing green, what do you call that social force that stops everyone from wearing green? can you see it? touch it? no. its "God"

for other people, god is just an imaginary friend who always has your back. sometimes its nice to just believe that everything is going to be OK because reasons. and they dont think too much about it because it would shatter the illusion

and for some others god is simply that which cant be explained. we can describe so much about our universe and how it behaves and how it functions, but we cant really explain why it exists in the first place... God is the reason why existence exists. it doesnt have to make perfect sense... we are just talking monkeys after all

I think you're more looking at an ideology or a philosophy rather than a God to believe in.

I'm about to get out of a really shitty retail job that I've hated for almost 10 years now because the store is shutting down.

In these years, to make extra money to be able to enjoy myself, I've written fapfics (I'm not going to lie and say it's "literotica" because it's fucking not, it's someone's OC in fapfics) and I enjoyed it, in addition to writing stories of my own.

Lately I've become sick of writing, erotic or otherwise. What used to be fun and let me express being a pervert has become boring and feels like a second job. Whenever I write something, I always pause about 10 minutes into it, think "this is too samey, no one's gonna like this" and stop.

So I decided "Hey, I'm a huge fucking manchild and I like buying toys once in a while, maybe I could do YouTube videos on a series I like!" but this particular series has a small group of dedicated people, some of who are clearly in it ONLY for the money of their fanbase's wealthy parents and one of them (in my opinion) just outright pretends to love the series in an attempt to make kids tell more people about his videos for more views.

tl;dr Should I try to rekindle my writing spark, or should I push through the whole "everyone else has done it" shit and be a YouTuber?

Just because they are doing it for money doesn't give you any more legitimacy than them.

Their motivation for money can be greater than your actual genuine interest on the subject. This is how posers always seem to blow the fuck out of "real" people.

So if you're basing your entry into youtube off the foregoing reasons, you should just write, but write different things. Learn how to write a formal paper, learn how to write an epic, learn how to write a poem, learn how to write technically, learn how to write a historical essay. There's so many niches for writing that you can excel in and you don't even know it.

But that's just taking advantage of children whose parents don't pay attention to their credit cards. It's fucking terrible.

>>18134190
Why not both? Keep writing, but try to start a YouTube channel on the side. If your channel starts to pick up and you enjoy making videos, then you can quit writing and make videos full-time.

not really.
>>
>>18134168

you make strides but you dont really change your personality, you just find out that more things were within your personality range than you thought.

for instance, all these people claiming to be introverted but that they are miserable becuase of it ARENT introverted. introversion means WANTING to be alone.

these people are just anxious about social interaction, not because they hate it but because they fear consequences.

becoming brave isn't really changing your personality, its just facing up to your fears or realizing they arent as scary as you thought.

you cant gain passion, you just find something you were passionate baout.

Can dating a crazy girl work? I only was one serious relationship, but the girl was crazy and she left me. Now I met another girl and we've gone on dates, fucked. Just like my ex she has cut scars and a bottle of meds on her nightstand.

Should I just try it out anyways? I'm quiet, I don't go outside much, I don't get many opportunities like this.

>>18134155

the question is' whats the worst that can happen?'

and i dont mean that rhetorically. seriously, if there seems to be any sign of danger, get out. if not, well we all got drama we all got therapy, its whatever. scars imply its old, not new.

either way, the biggerconcern is whether or not you get too attached. if you get too attached than you should leave cuz it will just cloud your judgement

but if you;re only dating a girl you dont really like because' i dont get many opportunities' than maybe you should just go out more.

>>18134158
I like her. I'm just treading cautiously because she's mentally ill.

It seems like your the problem if these are the kind of girls gravitating towards you. I'd say you put out a heroic rescuer vibe and these basket cases latch on and commence draining your soul.

I would head for the hills as a relationship should be between people who have their shit together and help each other grow as opposed to clinging on to one an other for dear life. Plenty of more suited girls OP keep on trucking or start speed dating at your local asylum you'll be a stud there

How do I stop watching porn that makes me feel ashamed as fuck as soon as I'm done? I don't even think I'm actually attracted to the genre of porn, I just get a rush every time I choke the worm to it.

Porn isn't an issue either, I tried no-porn for two months and just accepted no matter how hard I lift I'll always be a shy loser..I've managed to sleep with three women in my life, and it was by sheer luck of finding them online in the same games.

My dad wanted me to help him this weekend but I have other plans so he said it was okay and we could do it Monday, I think he was disappointed though. Now that I'm just going to feel guilty all weekend anyway should I just cancel my plans and help him?

>>
>>18134084
Basically we're going to go get some firewood. My plans were to go visit my friends one town over for the weekend. I was supposed to go visit them last weekend but I cancelled it because I helped my dad then and also had an ill-timed dentist appointment. I didn't hear anything about him wanting me to help him until tonight.

No real reason why waiting until Monday is a bad thing... I think he might also want to have somebody in the neighborhood for St. Patrick's Day, he is kind of a lonely dude since my mom died.
>>
>>18134090

that is unfortunate, but you shouldnt cancel your plans just because your dad needs firewood, and its not urgent...

id take some more time to do some male bonding with him, but no reason to cancel this particular weekend.
