I have severe PTSD from abuse that basically started when I was an infant and lasted up until I was 16. I haven't known much kindness in my life.
I'm now dating a great guy (my first proper relationship), he's everything I could ever wish for. He's so sweet and considerate, and that's exactly what fucks me up. I don't know how to deal with it. It makes me feel so insecure, because I don't feel like I deserve such kindness. I feel like he's way out of my league. I feel like I look like a sack of potatoes, and I'm also incredibly awkward due to my autism. While he's fit and a social butterfly. I don't know how to cope with this. I know how annoying insecure people are, which is why I don't want to bother him too much with my insecurities. I really don't know what to do.

You don't know what to do about what? You are already in a relationship with him so he obviously likes you.

Honestly I am not seeing the problem here.

Just consider that an awkward autistic guy who looks like a sack of potatoes would NEVER EVER get a girl who is "sweet and considerate", "way out of my league", "fit and a social butterfly". In fact he will probably never get anyone ever and die alone! Hope that helps!

How can I start talking to someone long distance? I plan to eventually move in a year and was curious to how meeting someone online long distance works. What steps should I take and what apps work best?

I would highly caution against initiating a long-distance relationship. They are nothing but heartbreak and misery.

But if you must, I would suggest using the Internet.

My GF has been working 12 hours a day, 5 days a week for the past month. Just found out today that it's going to last another 3 months. Since we don't live together, we literally spend about 5 hours together once per week, and most of that is sitting in front of a TV watching shows that she/we missed during the week (it's one of the activities we've always done since we started dating 2.5 years ago). She never messages me when she's at work, and 95% of her job is sitting there waiting. I'll message her once every couple of days and she'll respond after 15-20 minutes, but never with any follow-up question. When she gets home from work she's too wiped out to play games or anything (how we met initially, and another thing we've always done together). She had this work schedule last year for about 2 months, and when I complained about it, she got super defensive and angry.

It also might be worth mentioning that she doesn't really NEED the money since she still lives with her parents and has pretty extensive savings in the bank. This job is also elective in that she committed herself to this working schedule knowing what it would be, and if she rejected it, she'd just get put on other things working 35-40 hours per week. Last year when we argued about it, she made a comment like, "Do you think I'd really rather be at work, having to cancel dates than with you?". It kind of made sense last year because she had no idea how intense the whole work schedule would be when she took the job, but then she did it again this year without saying a word to me. The whole situation just makes like no sense to me.

At this point, I don't even know what I'm most upset about...committing to this again without even a conversation, jealousy with her spending 10x as much time with coworkers than me, sadness remembering how much time we used to spend together each night when we first started dating, or her seemingly not caring about how little time we actually spend together nowadays.

Doesn't sound like she takes your relationship seriously at all senpai, when she gets to pick (for the second time) between two work schedule and chooses the one that eats almost all of your together time - all without a word to you.

It's not a good sign no matter how you look at it. She doesn't value you and what you have together, at the very least as much as she should after 2.5 years together, I'd be pissed as well.

Do you have any problems in your relationship, that she could be trying to get away from? How good is your communication in general? It's hard for me to see it as anything other than a deliberate decision on her end to spend as little time with you as possible, the question is why that might be.
>>
What I am wondering is what she seems to be hiding. There has to be a reason she is taking those extreme and unnecessary hours when living in a free house and already with savings. It does not seem like she is saving money for anything. And what makes it worse is that you said she was super defensive and angry over you complaining that she spends too much time at work. You are awake 16 hours a day, that is only 4 hours a day out of working for her, and that is without subtracting for travel and getting ready before work. Why is she so defensive and persistent on taking these major hours? Is she even at work for 12 hours? It sounds like she is just making up being at work for 12 hours and is spending 4 hours elsewhere. She won't talk to you at a lazy job, spends an extremely large amount of hours there, gets super defensive, has no defense to why she does it, and has no reason to spend that long there financially. Man up and ask her what is up and why is she taking such an extremely large amount of extra hours, and if she says "Do you think I'd really rather be at work, having to cancel dates than with you?" again, say "If not, then what reason would you take the extra hours? What reason is more important at work than spending time with your own boyfriend?". Find out what the fuck she is hiding.

>Do you have any problems in your relationship
Nah, things have actually been great. If anything, it's maybe her anxiety towards the future - moving out of her parents, marriage, etc.

>How good is your communication in general?
It's...okay for most things, not great I'd say in the sense that she really does not take criticism well, ESPECIALLY not from me. When we fight, she'll ignore my messages for days. I've told her that that's really not cool, but she continues to do it. We fight very infrequently though so I don't see it as a huge problem at the moment.

>>18112424
Yeah, she works in a weird industry. She's a background actress, so these film companies hire her for the day, and she literally has no idea how long she'll be working that day, or how frequently they'll be using her in scenes. This specific show she's working on now is a bit different than most TV/Movies she does since it's 4 months of solid work, but most of the time she doesn't even get the work request until the night before, which makes trying to schedule things a nightmare. To be honest, I think it's the shittiest working situation ever and I'd never do it, but it doesn't seem to bother her.

>Man up and ask her what is up and why is she taking such an extremely large amount of extra hours
This is basically what our argument was about last year. It's really strange to me as well, but it's like she has this mindset that she can't turn down working hours. I think the problem is that her job is literally just sitting there talking to her work friends, reading, or playing boardgames for 90% of the day, so it's not shitty enough of a time to motivate her to choose to turn down some extra money, even if it ruins 30% of the year.

What is bottle flipping?

And what are you - about 12?

This entire thread will be me whining and complaining about my situation. It's pretty pathetic actually, but who cares it's an anonymous basket weaving forum.

My health is going to shit, I've been shitting blood for the last few months and ignored it because I'm retarded. Now I've started randomly throwing up, currently waiting on the results from the docs, they told me it could be cancer and that I should be prepared for that diagnosis. Cancer at the age of 20, what a fucking life.

I'm still a semi-kissless virgin, I've lost all friends years ago by being retarded and I push away everyone who is approaching me. And of course I still can't stop thinking of the one girl that I ever "loved" even though I am absolutely aware that she's not actually how I imagine her. I glorified and idealised her beyond belief because she was the first person to actually show me affection and to get me out of my misery for a little while.

I'm kinda staying afloat in University but if this keeps going on I'll fail my courses miserably. I have no motivation to do any of this, I literally just want to stay in bed. Hell, I'm lacking the motivation to play video games or to watch TV on most days, it's too much effort for me. I'm a complete failure as a human being.

Maybe the whole cancer thing isn't too bad after all, I could never kill myself because that would crush my family and especially my mother. But simply dying off through cancer could be convenient. I say that now but I also know that I'm shitting my pants over the diagnosis.

What do I know, I'm just some retard on the internet.

Real question: How is your family life right now?
>>
If it is cancer, you can still get treated. Experimental treatments today have overwhelmingly large success rates, so you may be safe in the cancer department. As for the rest, just try to make a list of things you want to do to become better, write it on paper, and post it on your door/wall and try to follow it. Start it easy and get started. You can always make new friends and there are millions of women out there, and I am sure another one will look attractive to you.

Well my father died from cancer when I was 9.
My grandparents (his parents) aren't doing well in regards to health, she probably has dementia or Alzheimer's or something similar and he has heart issues. We used to get along really well but they have both changed drastically over the last few years, we still visit them but it's more of a chore than anything else really.
My other grandparents, well she is abusive and has been her whole life (to her husband and her kids). He doesn't really care anymore and just lives for his dog. I get along fairly well with them for some reason.
I see my mother regularly and I love her but lately it's been exhausting talking to her. Again, it feels like a chore.
I have 2 sisters, we get along great.
I don't see the rest of my family.

My life is completely directionless.

I just turned 33. Since graduating high school 15 years ago I've had a lot of jobs. I was a labourer, a soldier, a business owner, customer service, tech support... I keep bouncing from one job to another because I just see them as a means of sustaining myself, but within a couple of years I always become so unbearably miserable with my work that I feel I have no choice but to leave and try to find something new so that I'll at least feel excited again for a few months.

2 years ago I left my last job as a security guard after 5 years of steady work because I felt like it was never going to get me anywhere (we were all getting pay cuts because a new company took over the contract). I decided to start attending University at the age of 31, without any clear idea of what my actual goal was. I just figured that having a degree would give me more options.

Unfortunately I've always been much better with words than with numbers, so I felt I had to settle for an arts degree (english, specifically). Now I'm just about 2 years into my degree, and I have to say that I find this intolerable. I hate classes, I hate reading all the goddamn time, I hate being poor, and I hate listening to pretentious kids ponder over literature all day.

I'm at a point where I feel like something has to change, but I don't know what. I can't think of any job that feels or sounds "right" to me. I don't know what I'm doing or even what I'm trying to do. I just want to find a path that doesn't make me incredibly depressed when I imagine staying in the same line of work for 20+ years, but I know that if I don't find stability soon I'll probably never be able to afford retirement. I have no money saved because all of my jobs have been very low wage.

How do you find the right path? Do most people just pick a random job and stick with it, and try to find happiness elsewhere in the life? I don't want to be bouncing around between minimum wage jobs when I'm 50.

Like it or not, a degree, any degree, gives you an amount of flexibility that people without can never have. Tons of jobs don't even care what your degree is, only that you have one. I'd say stick it out man. You're halfway there.

Shoulda picked STEM faggot.

No really, I'm in a similar boat. I'm 32 and I have never had a job above "minimum wage" (no such thing in my country, but I've always been poor af and basically a bottom feeder). But I started a STEM degree at university (tuition costs and part gime wage greatly cut my standard of living) 4.5 years ago and now I'm almost through. I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Deal w/ your shitty life choices or change the direction yourlife is going.

I hate brushing my teeth. The sound and sight of just someone on tv brushing makes me legitimately cringe. I have tried soft, hard, and electric brushes. It just feels so bad on my teeth.

What should I do? Is there a rinse or other method I could use to clean my mouth?

mouth washer.

>>18112281
What exactly do you dislike about brushing your teeth? Like does it hurt or what precisely is it?
I would say there is no alternative to brushing them, it's necessary. And things like mouth wash won't really remove residues on your teeth. Big things sure, but not the smaller things that will turn your teeth yellow.

I learned yesterday morning that I actually know very little about penis. I saw morning wood in good light for the first time, and realized that despite being hard, the head was all small, and it was smooth, like as if it wasn't a full erection, but just had a rod in it. What different kind of boners are there, and how should they be treated differently? This guy seemed to have no interest in sex with a morning boner, even though he was totally hard. Here I thought it only had 2 forms, soft and hard.

Halp /adv/. I need a penis tutorial. Teach me its secrets!

A dick is like a slave on a man's body that lives an awful life, but is on good terms with the owner. It spends the majority of its time in a cramped, hot, humid, and dark place. Taken out only to use the restroom, to be cleaned, to be beaten, or to be thrust into another cramped, hot, humid, slippery, dark place until it vomits. As a slave it has a mind of its own, and occasionally will stand up and try to look around. The owner has no control over this, but does have control over whether or not to put it to work since it's already up. This happens whether the owner is awake or not, and is completely involuntary. Sometimes it wants to look around at inopportune times, such as just before giving a business presentation or just prior to hugging Grandma. Other times the owner sees something and the owner's interest alerts the slave to get up. But a variety of reasons such as age or nerves can cause the slave to refuse to stand even though the owner is very interested in what he sees. There's no rhyme or reason to the slave's actions as only the slave knows why it does what it does

men are like women in the sense that they can be aroused and not need to get off, or that they can get ready for just about any occassion if pressured into it.

morning wood tends to be non sexual, its just the way the blood flows at night. i have an erection for a lot of the night i notice.

also even if he is horny morning sex is just exhausting. even if they do all the work , your orgasm is more numb than usual and kinda uncomfortable.

like when someoen you dont like tickles you.
>>
>>18112160
hell I always loved the morning fuck. You see, I have a slightly different impression from those other anons.I found out there indeed is a kind of boner that works... strangely. It may happen in the morning, after cumming or ocasionally at some other time as well.
This type of boner is not numb in a strict sense - it just doesn't "charge" with pleasure, meaning you can fuck for hours at an end (tho more likely it's going to be shorter) before you finally cum.
This of course may lead to some really nice sex if you happen to be the kind of guy who likes to pleasure a woman.
There are also other types. If I don't cum for an extended period of time, the head grows to it's maximum size giwing me a centimeter or even two more. Of course ejaculation will come faster in this case.

This is totally normal. Eating a large spicy, salty, acidic, or cheesy supper contributes. HR Giger gave himself nightmares by this method to inspire his iconic art!

Even so, all REM phases (your dreaming state) involve highly negative/aversive content. Dr. Domhoff and others have basically proven this is a combined mechanism of memory consolidation and learning that would have been adaptive to pre-verbal organisms. For instance; you see sabre-tooth cat. Fortunately, it doesnt notice you. In your dreams, you prepare repeatedly for situations where it DOES notice you and you have to act.

Tell me your stories /adv/,

I have epilepsy (have had it since I was 17 am now 23) and am going to have to have brain surgery and going to see a neurosurgeon on Monday after tablets for the past 6 years haven't helped. With this said every seizure the people around me lose their mind and it effects them more than it really effects me. In saying that the closer I get to having this surgery the taller I have to stand so the people around me don't get effected...

they can apparently reduce the symptoms of eppilepsy by slicing your brain right down the center.

this apparently has very few negative side effects because the brain is technically two separate organs, two separate entities, who just happen to have a few bridges between them. they still function fine when separated, but it means your brains dont talk to each other anymore.

so they started doing some basic experiments on people who had this procedure done, namely asking them questions like 'pick up the block that is your favorite color'

surprisingly, each hand would pick up a different block. the human would seem confused by this, and then try to rationalize it with a story like 'oh this looked blue when i saw it, then i realized it wasnt blue so grabbed the blue one with my other hand' or 'oh i used to love this one, but then i saw this oen and realized ITS my favorite'

but what sicentist believe is that the brains have two seperate personalities, and since each half of your brain controls a different part of your body, they chose different colors, and the part that talks, which is limited to only one side of the brian makes up a story to rationalize.

it turns out your brain is actually having a debate iwth itself anytime a question is asked, and they have to form a consensus in your head.

Anyone served in the US army here? I have a boyfriend who's stationed at a base a few states from me and I haven't heard from him in three days. I know he can't text me when he's out on the field but he usually tells me before he goes. This time I he hasn't given me any warning and I'm kinda worried.
> Do they randomly take your phones away?
>Do they sometimes rush you to field without give you a chance to tell someone?

I know he told me about possibly being deployed soon but he said if that happened it'd be awhile so doubt it's that. (He's in infantry btw)
