My (previous) roommates have finally left, and I am so relieved to be rid of them. They were two of some of the most annoying and immature morons I have ever had to plead with to do their goddamn dishes.

I have just one question for the internet. Before they moved out, they managed to break (among other things) the toilet seat. Normally, I would say that shit happens, but they also broke the toilet seat at the last apartment we shared.

The picture is not our toilet, but does show where it was broken. Somehow, the hinge on one side snapped and now it works but is wobbly, and wants to fall off.

Not the biggest problem in the world, but they managed to do this TWICE. And when asked how the toilet seat broke, they told me they did not know. I have never in my life broken a toilet seat, but these nincompoops apparently know the secret.

Can anyone solve the mystery of what you need to do to fuck up so badly?

Maybe they are straining forward when they shit?

Maybe they are too rough when they knock it up to piss?

The straining things makes more sense, since we all pee sitting down.

a fellow pee-sitting-down bro?

rad.

Is it bad that I'm comparing my life to people from college via Instagram and Facebook?


They're leading fun lives, in cool swanky offices in cool cities taking pictures of them with hot girls.

Meanwhile I have a boring job, in a boring city, I've got no friends and not hot chicks to take Instagram pics at trendy cafes with.

People say "well don't be focus on what they have. Focus on what YOU want OP" but I want the glamor. I want the popularity and validation I ain't scared to admit it. Instagram likes, inside joke comments on uploads, Facebook banter, and then off the net, a fun rewarding social life with lots of people in your circle and a positive life situation.

That's the sole thing thats driving me to try and better my life right now. Not for more cash, not because I'm self motivated, not because I'm "passionate" about my field (I sure as fuck am not but it's a job)- I just want the validation and social status

Should I just keep on doing what I'm doing?

Pic so related

Nobody has that shit, it's all an illusion.

I used to believe the EXACT same thing as you, to the last letter, until I joined a group of people that do exactly that, and outside Instagram and Facebook they all have oddly normal and boring lives. They go to work, they kiss ass of bosses, they go to college and fail exams, they ask parents for money, they moan and bitch and whine, it's all so surreal if you think about it.
But I'll be damn, they post pictures of everything and everywhere and get thousands of likes. I'm still the same guy, just that I'm tagged along in those pictures.

>have boring life
>do something average every couple weeks
>take a staged pic with good cam and edit it
>upload to fb/insta
>now everone thinks you're living life like some rockstar
Those people are average as fuck, otherwise they wouldn't feel the need to upload pics of sitting in cafes like that's something special. Actually the fact that they need their 'fun activities' validated by random fags on the internet shows their insecurity about their averageness and how desperate they are in trying to convince everyone else and themselves that they aren't average.
It's all fake and coverup. Don't buy into it.

/adv/ I am fucking retarded and have zero job skills. Everywhere I go, I see people who are functional, have interests, are able to express themselves clearly, are able to hold down a job and multi-task. Being on the internet is especially painful because its often a playground for intellectualism.

I don't know what I'm asking here, looking for suggestions and just ranting I guess. MODS DELETE

Get a part time job at least and start developing job skills on the side (learning excel is a good place to start).

Develop hobbies - have at least 3 hobbies, one from each category:

Physical (running, lifting, hiking, rock climbing, sports, etc)

Mental (poker, chess, programming, robotics, writing, astronomy, learning a language, etc)

Creative (crafts, 3d printing, painting, playing an instrument, dance, etc)

One of these should be social (for example: playing basketball on a team, going to a poker league, or being in a band).

You should also be reading, watching movies, listening to music, cooking, cleaning, etc regularly. Try to challenge yourself with these, but reading a dumb third rate fantasy novel about orcs is better than not reading at all, cooking a plain old chicken breast is better than not cooking at all, etc.

Think about which adjectives and titles you would like to describe you (artistic, programmer, athletic, well read, etc) and then figure out a map to get there.

I'm terrible with women and people in general, but I'm not exaggerating when I say I dated an extremely attractive girl the last three months. Now that she's gone I'm left striking out with every woman yet again, wondering how I got to be so spoiled in the first place. I need to move on but the world is getting increasingly intimidating and leaving me to stagnate when time is of the essence.

I'm 32 and not going anywhere in life. I want to make improvements and I thought I'd take time to pursue them but my self esteem keeps plummeting instead. Last month I thought I was this attractive guy with lots of opportunities, now the complete opposite because of how the world is ignoring the hell out of me

How do I deepen and coarsen my voice? At 25, looking like a 2m lumberjack with a thick beard, I still sound like a wee bitch.

Great question. So great that there is no answer.

I too am plagued by a nasally shrill faggot voice. I sound JP from grandmas boy when he does the robot voice...

>>18121920

Drink, smoke and practice singing heavy metal songs in the shower. Should fuck up your voice just fine. Also, do you sound like a wee bitch to yourself when you talk or on recordings too? Other people hear you differently than you hear yourself.

Happiness and success feels even better when you can share it with someone who'll feel happy with you and even proud of you. Having someone special amplifies the good feels quite effectively. Meanwhile, expecting an amplifier to produce results by itself is pointless and ineffective.

Recent blood tests have revealed I have the testosterone levels of an 85-100 year old man (270 ng/dl), and I'm only 24. Going to see an endocrinologist soon with a doctor's referral, and I presume I'm going to be prescribed testosterone injections in the near future.

I can go through the low T symptoms online and it feels like a list of everything wrong with my life.

>disappearing libido, worse every passing year
>erectile dysfunction
>low body/facial hair growth
>can't lose weight (been on 1500 calories a day for over a month, lost 2 pounds)
>can't gain muscle (been exercising 2-3 times a week for an hour each time)
>lethargic all day every day
>depression/anxiety achieved easily

Any anons on testosterone replacement therapy? What are the positive and negative ways it's affected you? I feel like a limp noodle all the time (in more ways than one) and if this would take care of all the above problems I'd probably be happy to swallow the potential the side-effects.

My dad was always the same way (low sex drive, low energy), which contributed to my parents' divorce. Is it possible that a tendency for low testosterone can be hereditary?

You will turn into alpha guy.

Good luck on your quest! Do what doc tells you and prepare yourself for testicles atrophy aka becoming infertile.

Consider freezing sperm if you want your own babies.

>hereditary
Yes. You can literally be born weak beta male. Deal with it.
>>
>>18121909
>freezing sperm
I've never been interested in contributing to overpopulation, but who knows. How much does it cost to get my jizz frozen? I'd consider it if it's less than like $1K a year, otherwise I'll just adopt some starving vietnamese kid if I ever want to take on that burden.

>testicles atrophy
How much are they gonna shrink? My balls are reasonably big so a slight size reduction wouldn't bother me too much.
>>
>>18121952
You dont get it. You being low test means that your balls are already not 100% working. And when you use steroids (like /fit/), balls will most likely stop producing test and in time will be just dead tissue.

Of course it is all one IT DEPENDS. Ask your doc. Do your research. If I had to make a bet, i would bet you will be infertile after 2 years. It is your body, your choice, your responcibility.

Some docs dont care about patients at all, ask him about consequences. Dont let him tell you that it is safe. Nothing ever is "safe". Do question him.

Anyway boosting test will make you feel alive. Maybe for the first time in your life you will feel alive like all normal horny teens around you.

So, I've started to go on regular bike rides with my friend. I'm in shape and enjoy biking, but the length of the rides has caused a problem:

my taint hurts. so fucking much.

I am one step away from using a hemorrhoid pillow. What can be done?

I cannot admit this to my friend because I spent some time digging at him for being so slow on a bike that's not a stationary one at the gym.

Please help.

Try to get another bicycle saddle.

Also all your bike problems are here
>>>/o/
>>
Let me guess: you have a really soft saddle material because you thought the extra cushioning would help relieve the pain.

Wrong. Get your ass on a hard seat. Use a piece of plywood, nigga. The splinters make you a man.

Really though, just look this up. You want a hard saddle that your ass-bones can rest against comfortably. It'll hurt for the first 2 weeks but from there on you'll be fine. Soft saddles make it worse because they push up into your taint and apply pressure where there shouldn't be any.
>>
>>18121931
I'll try there. Thanks!

>>18121938
No, I have the seat the bike came with. It's a huffy I've used to commute for years without complaint. It's these four hour rides that are killing me.

I'll look into a harder saddle. Would having female anatomy still make this an improvement?

Hey guys wondering if you've had any experience with antidepressants. I've tried psychedelics and meditation and It just doesn't work for me. I guess I don't know how to deal with my emotions and it really fucks with every aspect of my life. I'm tired of it and I don't care about dealing with it anymore I just want to be able to function. Are they worth it? What do you recommend I ask the doctor for?

You mean self medicating DOESN'T work? That's so weirddddd... Are you sure? I mean, it seems like a chemical imbalance in your brain would surely be the kind of thing any layman can handle on their own. So you think you should go to a, a, a... "doctor" or something?

He is right, go to the specialists.

How do I maintain focus on studying?

I'm a law student, which means I have to read a lot, but I have been unable to focus. I often get asleep after reading like 20 pages, or I'm just plain unable to remember what I read 15 seconds ago. This is especially true now that I have to read 300 pages of Foucault. It doesn't help that I hate Foucault.

What to do? I'm trying to drink coffee before studying but it's not exactly helping a lot.

Part of college is to figure out how to force yourself to do something you dont like.

Good luck with that. Not everybody is able to do it.
>>
>>18121814

Where do you study? Changing location to somewhere else could help. It can help you separate work time from off time.

Figure out a reward system that work for you. For example, if you read amount x before 5pm you can take the evening off.

Set schedules. It helps focus if you pace yourself. 20min study and 5min break or 60min study and 15min break. Figure out what works best for you.

Study smart, not hard. "Reading" is useless if you don't know what you need to know. Figure out what your lecturers focus on in the lectures and read up ok that, extend to relevant topics, bit exclude those which seem irrelevant to themes studied in the course. Don't study what you think you need to know, study what you think they think you need to know.

Also, don't drink too much coffee. Caffeine will fuck up your concentration if you go nuts with it.

Hey /adv/, I gotta get out more.
What are some portable, light-weight hobbies I can bring with me anywhere? It would be something I could easily bring with me while while walking or biking anyplace.

Some ideas go like
>drawing
Because a small sketchbook and a pencil fits in a pocket
>playing harmonica
Also fits easily in a pocket
>listening to music
Always got my phone with me so this is a nobrainer, however, can merely listening to music even be considered a hobby?

I consider walking/biking itself to be a hobby. Maybe that makes me boring.

Reading? You could try paperbacks or also a kindle or something.

Writing? Not sure if you're into it.

Birdwatching, or other documentation of nature?

Using your pocket-sized GPS device to make maps of your neighborhood, or walking trails or whatever? I have found that most maps don't have anything that's not for automobile traffic well documented.

Orienteering? No purpose to it, really.

Good suggestions.

I'm probably dyslexic or something because words, written or read, give me a headache. Well when it's for hours on end at least. Highschool dropout, go figure.

So how do you combat the urge's to eat shitty fast food? I'm so hungry right now and have nothing in the house to eat and the burger king down the road sounds really good right now.

Drinking water helps, often water is the reason for hunger because many people now are water deficient they tend to try and etc water through food. Learning to cook also helps because you can make better food and buying right saves you money surprisingly.

>Meet androgynous girl in mutual college related weekly thing I run

Here's the deal

She seems like a pretty cool girl and I enjoy having someone I can nerd out with

In the past I have just made the moves like going in to kiss a girl and it wasn't a big deal

With her I get the impression she just wouldn't know what to do or how to take it

Should I just say something literal like "Hey I like you"?

there's a lot of introvert girls who'd know better than me about this, but try giving her some more hints.
if she's in two of your classes, you can meet up there because you two seem like genuine friends if you can do DnD and watch Samurai Jack up until 1:30 A.M.
Observe her and look for signs that she likes you.
Ask her out for coffee or some shit.

You talk about anything. For starters you can ask her why she didnt run away and how can she make you less autistic and more human.

How do I ask a colleague out if my work doesn't allow me to chat with her? I usually have one or two moments of 5 seconds a day with her. Any more than that is very difficult. As a result we don't actually know each other. I find her physically attractive, but my interest grew after I googled her as she seems to be a very interesting and smart person.

So how do you ask out a girl you often see but never get the chance to have a proper conversation with? How do I do it without it being strange or random?
