How do I accept myself?

>hate my face, avoid looking in the mirror
>aware that I don't look bad, but I'd rather blame my failures with girls on my looks
>have a friend who gets all the pussy he wants even though he doesn't look that great, jealousy and thoughts like "what am I doing wrong? what is he doing so fucking right?" stop me from sleeping at night
>have big ambitions, but scared as fuck to do anything
>impulsive as fuck, do really dumb stuff when angry/sad and then regret it
>start blaming my failures on my genes, feel like I am destined to fail
>bisexual, feel ashamed about it
>hate showing my weaker side to people, feel like complete worthless shit everytime I show any deeper emotions or talk about my problems with people
>scared that they will consider me a depressed loser and leave me

I really want to improve as a person, but nothing fucking works. It just makes me realize how flawed I am and how different and superior other people are.

Help please

Therapy
Get exercise and eat right-junk food makes you feel shittier
Volunteer so you are out of your own thoughts and can think of others.
Build yourself up everyday but finding at least one thing you like about yourself or are grateful for. Also, tell yourself the opposite every time you think something negative. Every time you see yourself in the mirror think about how handsome you are and not how ugly.
Good luck anon.
It's scary to change your life, but worth it on the other side.

>Therapy
I can't. I can't just go there and look like a fucking loser telling the therapist about my problems.

>Get exercise and eat right-junk food makes you feel shittier

I recently started exercising, feels kinda good. I still get the urges to eat sweets. Also I don't look bad, that doesn't seem to be the problem.

>Build yourself up everyday but finding at least one thing you like about yourself or are grateful for. Also, tell yourself the opposite every time you think something negative. Every time you see yourself in the mirror think about how handsome you are and not how ugly.

I try. But everytime I'm convinced that I look amazing I realize that it's impossible. If I looked good I wouldn't be such a fucking failure.
>>
Honestly. Keep at it. Keep believing and seeing yourself just as you are. Ive been doing the same, in solitude to boot and ive got to say im completely bored of the whole process. You tell yourself you are ugly or a failure long enough. You dont make an attempt to change long enough you will hit that moment where the motions are so repetitive. You get tired of feeling that way, hell you get tired of dreaming about the fantasies where you arent. Anyways, that boredom will fuel your need to feel something else. Be something else. Your emotions can be a roller coaster but, if youre paying attention to them your anger and self hatred will get extremely predictable. Once that happens...well youll catch yourself working out to feel something else, youll look in a mirror and not feel so self conscious because you have arrived at not giving a shit about it. Know yourself motherfucker, pay attention and really absorb your thoughts. See that pattern of your ideas and im telling you, things will change. Because youll be tired of being exactly the same.

Ok so here's the thing. I'm a guy, I'm decent-good looking.

There's a girl in my class who's a total qt. Because she's beatiful all the attention was on her. So i didnt pay her attention in the first weeks of we met. After some time we somehow started to talk. I never msged her. But we really talked a lot.

When there's people around she's just all teasing me and making really harsh jokes about me but when there's only two of us she's just nice.. But i'm pretty sure that she's a really nice person.

We unintentionally went to 2 basketball matches. We sit next to eachother everytime we gone. First time i sit next to her and second time she found me and sit next to me.

After some time our little jokes started to really gettting big. She's just all making ironic jokes about me like how bad person i'm and shit like that. But when we were playing truth or dare someone said some mean thing about me and she said "Don't talk like that Anon has a great heart"

But now all again we're in a ironical mood its all fucking around. I'm never getting offended by her jokes (got that advice from the internet)

So like there's nothing real we can talk about now. And i'm having really fucking hard time to talk to her alone. She have really fucking a lot of friends. We both having fun right now by these things but i want shit to become real but i just dont know how to fucking do it. And please dont say "go talk to her directly" Nah man it'll be too fucking awkard. Is there a possible way of using irony to solve my problem?

I'm having real fun but i just dont want to get jealous anymore. Like because she's beatiful every fucking guy try to flirt with her. She doesnt reply them in a flirty way though..

I just dont know what to do, i dont even know if i make sense.

Fuck me

How do I negotiate my pay for under the table job?

>>
>>18130429
One clarification.. is the actual work illegal or are you just getting paid under the table?
>>
Richard Dawkins looks great in a dress.
>>
>>18130429

outside of the generic broad strokes, which is essentially just 'negotiate' and 'get leverage' nothing. negotiation is about creating your own specific tactic. imagine if someone said 'how do i beat someone up?' the answer can involve broad strokes like 'hit him where it hurts' but you need to figure out how to act and react on your own.

example,
>air conditioner breaks
>our landlord says its our job to replace it
>the contract intended this (commercial, office space)
>however there are some loopholes in my favor
>now in court it would be a 50/50 chance of losing
>however the contract also says that in the case of a dispute we'd each pay our own legal fees
>so the best leverage i can get is to claim we have a lawyer for a client working for free

this gives us leverage, because it means that he'd lose money even if he won the case, whereas we would not.

on top of that the implication is that we have a REAL case, as our lawyer has no reason to lie to us, no money to gain, whereas his does, and claiming they can win still means money even if they lose.

because of that we've talked him up to 50% of repair costs, and were going to have him at 75% if not a full 100 once our lawyer writes up a letter.

So, I just found out that my girlfriend kissed like 4 guys in some party while we where talking, we had not started dating but we where already flirting and I had let clear from the start that I wanted something more than friendship. I feel like shit and I don't know If I should finish it. Any advice? (Sorry for my bad English)

>>18130358
Um you guys weren't dating she didn't do really anything that should affect your view of her so grow up maybe?
>>
First of all, are you sure the information is true? And if it is, are you sure it hasn't been exaggerated?

This incident might be considered a red flag, simply because a person who makes out with four guys in one night is probably not that invested in the idea of a long-term, exclusive relationship.

However, she didn't cheat on you and you should keep that in mind. Flirting is not a relationship, and just because you made your intentions clear doesn't mean that she reciprocated them at the time.

It was probably a drunken night of mistakes, which she didn't want to mention to you because nobody likes to say "hey, by the way I once participated in an anonymous orgy" to their current SO. But I wouldn't worry about it. Seems like your pride is hurt more than anything.
>>
Yeah, I know it's inmature. So how do I stop feeling this fucking bad? I know my pride Is hurt, so how do I heal it?

Yes there are. But to date one, or a girl of any height for that matter, you need to stop being so insecure about your height. Nobody finds insecurity attractive.

You'll find that girls, no matter their own height, don't actually care about a guy's height.

So this is what happened. Currently, my best friend is in a relationship with this girl, and they are getting further and further apart. I told the girl that i have a crush on her, and she said she fancies me aswell. Now the problem is that if she was to break up with my best friend and we start dating, everyone would shank me in the toilets. What should i do?

Is it possible to make your asshole gape permanently? If yes, then how? What kind of negative effects should I expect?
12 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>What kind of negative effects should I expect?
Anal leakage/loss of stool and inability to hold in the urge to shit.

Do you sincerely not know what the sphincter is for?

Anyway yeah it can happen if you damage your ass too much with huge dildos, no lube etc. I don't think there's a clear cut step by step plan, though, probably also depends on your age and how good your genetics are whether or not your body can bounce back.
>>
There are muscles there, that's how your butt closes you're asking if they can be prevented from ever clenching again. I'm not sure if they can but you would have to cause quite severe muscle damage if it's possible. That'd be painful, impact your ability to clench down to expell waste, prevent you from stopping any waste coming out at a given time, smell horribly, and probably be a significant chance for infection/chafing considering that it's meant to stay slightly moist on the inside.

The muscles can be surgically removed and are in the event of particularly severe hemorrhages. But that would, as my doctor put it, be an absolute last resort option since it'd mean you have to carry a colonoscopy bag around you for the rest of your life.

In addition to having a bag for your shit strapped to your waist while you're out, you might be in for an unpleasant smell which repels other people, being mocked, belittled, and isolated by people who find out.

And there's always the chance of abuse by hospital staff or another caretaker when you're older one day and reliant on them to change your bag of shit. Not that long ago some teens were in the news for refusing to change them for patients in the hospital (nursing home?) they worked at, mocking him, smearing his own shit on him, recording it, and laughing at him all the while as he cried.

>>18130332
>>18130321

I wasn't expecting all this. Is it possible to instead make it loose enough that inserting huge objects only requires small amounts of lube and pretty easy?

Where is the line between being able to take huge insertions and getting all or too many of the problems above?

Hello /adv/, i have some sort of problem and i want to ask for your advice, maybe compare ideas with anyone going through this as well.Post is a little long, there is a TL;DR at the bottom

I initially wanted to make a thread about feeling excluded, but i realized what bugged me more than that. And it's the fact that i see a lot of people in serious relationships, achieving things whereas I'm still at ground level. I also get sad hearing a girl i like talk to some of our friends about guys she saw around campus and how they're "sooooo dreamy" whilst i'm sitting there feeling invisible. But i keep that to myself, the last thing i need is for someone to find out what I really think about.
Back to the point, the baseline feeling i get is that i'll never find anyone, not necessarily to fuck (because yeah, I'm turning 21 in may and i doubt i'll lose my virginity by then), but to have a normal, decent relationship. I never get hit on, i never even get greeted or at least, smiled at by a girl i don't know.

I can't, for the love of God figure out what the problem is, i'm a smart guy, i look decent, i take care of the way i look, I stopped swearing all the time, i know how to act like a civilized person, so what is the problem? Is there a rite of passing everyone took during puberty that I missed? Am I supposed to act like a cock in public to attract attention on myself?

I understand that everyone has problems, i'm not going to claim my problems are more important than anyone else's, i just want some advice, or tips, or fucking anything.

By the way, i'm not American, so the " how didn't you get laid by now, it's so easy" argument isn't valid in my case.
TL;DR: OP feels invisible to women, like he is going to die alone, wants to get laid and/or have a relationship

Stop thinking too much about this.

Get out and meet more people, not all the time, like every few weeks. Whether it's a sport or hobby. I took up scuba diving and went on a holiday with one of the shops. Given it was a lot of older folks due the time of year, retirees, its was an awesome time. Had job prospects (company owners on the trip), you should come by and meet my daughter after the trip, and met other people/women also on vacation.

go volunteer somewhere. the hospital is a good start. always looking for people and you can practice socializing and charming people. easy

Make you the best version, every day

Convince me not to leave my £8-an-hour-moving-boxes job.

I just saw people from head office leave my store, typical young yuppie looking types with expensive suits and haircuts, who don't look they've had to work a day in their lives. They came for 2 hours, had a laugh and then fucked off.

Meanwhile I've learnt that they've cut overtime again cos there's no budget for overtime but still expect us to work twice as hard to make up for that fact.

What the fuck is this? The way I figure is that I have at least 2 months salary saved to go on a job search. Is this advisable?

>>18130288
Definitely, why would you want to work in an environment that treats you like shit? Like >>18130297
says it's going to be similar in most places, but just because something is difficult is no reason to give up on it. Follow your tendency to liberation and self realization. Otherwise you'll end up either wanting to kill yourself, addicted to something to make the pain go away, or totally enlightened.

Consider, how hard is your job? Does it cause long term problems to your health? How does it fit into your other goals in life? Can you work to change the conditions of your employment, perhaps through unionizing or disruptively performing your job?

I'm writing from personal experience by the way. I saved up a ton of money working before I realized that my job was mentally killing me and left shortly thereafter.

You should fuck that off sharpish mate. You're right about the nonces in suits, they wouldn't know a good days graft if it bit them on the ass, but you can be certain they're not pitching up for £64 a day like you are.

If you want to make decent money I'd say go and work for an independant tradesman. In a company of a thousand blokes, all the money goes to the top five men. If the entire company consists of two blokes in a transit the distribution is a lot more even. As an example, I'm a carpet cleaner (I do all types of flooring, upholstery, blinds and curtains, but it just says "Anon's carpet cleaning" on the side of my van). Today, I did three sofas and a chair on the first job, a hall stairs and landing on the second, and two staircases, four rooms and six rugs on the last. Todays takings came to £530+VAT, of which my young lad (who does nothing cleverer than fetch, carry, and drive my van sometimes) gets £150 same as every other day he works and the rest is mine. We started at 8:30, and I dropped him at his flat at about 2:45 when we finished. You won't get that working for a company where the directors drive bentley's.

Hello people,

I want to tell you my situation with my girlfriend, to see if you can give me some good insight.

We are both argentinians living in Germany, we came here in the year 2013. I am studying and she looked for a job, which she didn't find until 18 months after having arrived.

In Argentina she used to have a good job and she also misses her family and friends a lot. She has suffered a lot not having a job, and was complaining about not liking the country a lot.

To complicate everything more, she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, for which she has to follow a chemotherapy. Before the diagnosis I was thinking of dumping her if she didn' t show a more positive attitude towards our life here.

Now she is following the therapy and we are sort of ok, but I still think that the relationship is going nowhere and that she would be happier in Argentina (and I don't want to come back).

Then I am considering the following situations:
A- Wait until the therapy is over and then have a talk about the future (saying that I want to stay here, which will probably cause a break up).
B- Somehow talk about the situation now, which kind of sucks because she HAS to stay here for the therapy, until July. If we break up the situation will be very bad for her.
C- Wait until time after the therapy has passed, to see if she finds a job or how she behaves without health issues.

Any kind of insight will be appreciated!

I don't really have any experience with this sort of thing so my word might not be the best, but B sounds like your best bet.
I would say to do that because staying with her because you feel sorry for her is doing nothing for either of you. If anything, it's selfish because you are doing it just so you won't feel like a bad person. I won't lie, it will hit her like a sledgehammer, but at least she will know what's up. Maybe this experience will change her and realize that she needs to adopt a new outlook on life. But I would advocate for direct communication nonetheless so both of you know where to go from there.
>>
>>18130299

Thank you for your advice! I will think about it, this sound about right once I have made up my mind, which is still not the case. But maybe I can start by expressing my doubts
>>
unless you or your family somehow depend on a good relationship between you two, go for option B, it will burn down all bridges, but any breakup does that. People who know her though will think very badly of you for breaking up with her, when she is ill, but that's just because of their romance bullshit

I'm on the other end of a situation like this. My gf is always in a emotional wreck about something. It's become very draining dating her. Feels like I'm in relationship with a child. Best would prolly be to talk to him, tell him how you feel. If you're not happy and a emotional burden then chances are he's not happy either.

tl;dr How do I resign from my job?

Is a resignation email ok? Should I give my boss a warning or something or just email him it out of the blue? It seems abrupt but I'm probably overthinking it.

>Long form,
So I've talked it over with my therapist and decided to quit my job.
I'm that part time night auditor who posts here sometimes if anyone remembers my shit.

-Autistic and people stress me out really bad
-On disability
-Working two nights a week doubles my income, but the job is making me super depressed and anxious (I can get into the reasons if someone wants)

I'm gonna look for a new job, one without customers but not sure how to properly leave this job. Looking ahead, what do you guys do for work and how do you like it? Terrible? Ok? Love it?

Can someone critique my study routine?
Suppose I have a full day:
9am - 12pm Work
3pm - 6pm Work
8.30pm - 12am Work
On a day packed with lectures
8.30am - 3pm lectures
5pm - 6pm Work
8.30pm - 12am Work
Work = Studying or solving problem sums.
Is this too relaxed? I don't want to pack it end to end and end up burning out and giving up. Thanks
