Smoking.
Excessive drinking.
Excessive eating.
Not exercising.
Bad posture.
Bad sleeping habits such as going to bed late, sleep less than 7 hours, not going to bed and waking up always at the same time.
Being messy.
Hoarding.
Not saving.
Not having a good work ethic.
>>
>>18107691
If it is your habit to shit in school playgrounds, do your best to stop it. Or at least wait until the kids leave.
>>
Smoking. You've seen the commercials and what it causes. Smoking can easily be beaten with exercise.
I have the easiest time not smoking when I'm physically active on a regular basis. Otherwise I fall into lazy sedentary spells where I smoke.

fuuuuuuuuuuuck help /adv/
Im fucked in the head and I dont know what is wrong me. Its like by body doesn't let me feel happiness. Im horribly depressed and have been for years and whenever I feel happy it lasts a couple of hours occasionally - maybe once a fortnight but after a few hours I start to get really easily irritated and the smallest thing sets my mind off. By the next day im in a furious state telling myself how stupid I am and how im an idiot and worthless. then any small thing that doesnt go right (firefox could crash for a sec, i drop somthing) triggers me to start self harming. Punching myself in the face, slamming my fists on the surface im next to really hard and fast, headbutting a wall. I then isolate myself. this means 80% of my time I cant enjoy anything I do be it playing video games, playing guitar, driving because im in such a state. I keep it hidden from work and can function fine there without any physical outbursts I just keep it in my head, same when im with my friends but this makes it build up and build up so when im alone I get reallllllly bad and actually scream at the small things. I would never ever harm another person and its entirely self directed.
im waiting to see a therapist but thats another few months away and things are getting worse. I want to kill myself honestly I dont want to live my life like this. I grew up relatively normal considering the disadvantaged upbringing I had.
wtf is wrong with me. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

YEah you need to see a therapist way sooner than you planned on.
>>
>>18107690
its been this way for months now too I hate it and I hate myself for being this way. I can't speak to my friends about it either because I don't want them to know me like this. this is not who I am. Girls shouldn't be like this. I need a fuckin hug
>>
>>18107700
No one should be like that. Like I said, you gotta see a therapist sooner rather than later. That shit isn't healthy.

hi /adv/, does this look too skinny to you? this is my goal

It looks good on her.
But do not have "body goals" - eat healthy, exercise and see where you get.
Not all bodies are the same - fat distribution, or the way your bones are shaped might make it impossible for you to get at that body type. My best friend for example is more triangular shaped and could never look like that, I have muscular thighs and my legs will never look like that unless I stop working out and starve myself (and even then, I doubt it will look like it).
>>
>>18107693
This.
Goals to look a certain way don't help anything. At all.
A goal to have a healthy relationship with food helps. Goal to be healthy and maybe even fit, is good.
>>
Who says it is "too skinny"?
No, it is a very nice body, great goals.
You can even be skinnier, but this is not necessary at all.

Need some opinions /adv/
I'm dating a girl now after 5 months of getting over a rough breakup. She's wonderful (cute,interesting, smart, funny, cooks, showers me with tons love) and we get along very well. I'm absolutely smitten with her. She helped me along during my shitty few months and we fell for each other.
Anyway....
The only problem I'm having is she's too generous at times. As in she buys me bunches of food, movie tickets and takes me on trips where she covers almost everything. I literally have to fight to cover the restaurant check at times or pay for my own stuff (groceries/rent/various bills). She comes from a super wealthy family that gives her a hefty allowance on top of the job she's holding while going to school (I only know this because I was concerned she was going broke with her generosity so she had to explain). This has become a recent thing and I'm suffering from severe guilt. I don't mooch off anyone and I never ask for money, I earn my own way, always have since I come from a lower middle class family. I'm always the one to provide in the relationship, not the other way around. I don't want to bring a riff into our relationship already but I don't want to "owe" anyone later on.
She explained to me that she wants to take care of me and she always does this in relationships. She wants me to be "stress free" and to start enjoying myself without worrying about financial stuff. That sounds nice but I know it isn't right, it's hurting my pride a bit as a male in the relationship. I don't want this to devolve into me being arm candy and feeling like I have to give myself physically to make up for her generosity.
What do you guys think? How should I approach this? I do well for myself financially also, I can provide but she doesn't want to take my money.

You're creating a problem that doesn't exist. If you offer and she insists, so be it. Be sure to take her out from time to time and you'll be gold.
>>
>>18107682
I had a good friend tell me something similar. I'm just not used to such treatment so I was worried if I was in the wrong. I do buy her gifts and things she enjoys, not out of guilt but just because I genuinely like to treat her.
>>
>>18107675
If she's financially stable/well off and wants to take care of you let it happen. Women these days want to put the pants on so let them, enjoy your situation. Do things for her but don't wig out if she buys you food or whatever. Put your pride aside and accept that she wants to take care of you. Be a loving/faithful boyfriend and it'll be ok. If she thinks you are good enough to be financially coddled then you are worth her dollar.

My story begins about 6 years ago when i was still a teenager.
I smoked weed occasionally but as time went on i found that i was becoming addicted to it (inb4 weed isnt addictive). It went from me having minor withdrawals and only "needing" it once a week (i say needing but i know it doesnt have physical addictive properties) to smoking it daily just to get by. It didnt help that i was living with dealers and selling it myself from time to time.
Anyway fast forward to about 4 years ago when i started dating my now ex girlfriend. I got her into smoking daily and eventually she became abusive without it and basically wouldnt let me sleep (good thing i didnt have a job at the time). I left her at the beginning of last year and I struggled to stop smoking so suddenly as i had to move back in with my parents and i didnt want to get caught smoking it at their house for fear of being kicked out.
Thats when i turned to alcohol. In the beginning i would only drink to help me sleep. I still had massive cravings for bud, but if i drank enough, I would get to sleep just fine.
I got back into smoking pot while still at my parents because my paranoia went away seeing as i stopped smoking so much and i had a dealer friend I would help out trimming buds to make some money (or free weed) and soon found i was addicted to it again.
Recently this friend has been busted and no longer does that so ive had to use actual money to start buying it again but i realised just how expensive it is seeing as im spending upwards of $300 a week on booze. But to top it all off, ive also managed to become addicted to prescription drugs. I feel the only way to get over this is to be locked in a room for 3 weeks with only the essentials and i dont have money for therapy or rehab.
Tldr: is there a quick fix for addiction that doesnt require much money or affect my job?

Also i smoke nearly 25g of tobacco (red) every 2 days
>>
stop drinking alcohol
stop smoking cigarettes
for fucks sake stop taking prescription meds
and get back to daily pot use
of all the things that you can be hooked on, weed is the least worst
everything else is terrible
also use a vaporizer so you can hide weed use easily with minimal smell
>>
>>18107674
The reason i stopped smoking is because its not always accessible and i cant always smoke it... i also have mild psychosis when I smoke..
i have vaped before and it didnt really hit me as hard.. a joint does more desu and it really didnt hide the smell whatsoever

It's always legit. I used it for acid reflux pills, worked like a champ, despite being generic Indian meds. 10/10 never gonna buy in the US if I don't have to.
How do I become better at public speaking, confidence and become more charismatic?
>tfw had to introduce myself to 360+ people as why I should represent them
>tfw only one other person voted for me
feels bad man, I have to cope with these people for the next half of the year too. It's statistically unsound that only one person would - I must be that bad. I need help, serious advice.

If you're just talking about public speaking, then practice is the most important thing. The first step to giving a good speech is to memorize it so well you don't even have to think about what to say next. This allows you to focus more on your delivery than the content. Try looking at other people who give great speeches. Analyze the techniques they use and ask yourself why their speeches are better than yours. Film yourself giving your speech and watch it. It's easy to critique it if you're in the audience's shoes.
>>
>>18107627
>>18107643
Oh yeah, I forgot, you'll want to practice speaking under pressure as well. The only way you can really practice this is if you give your speech in front of some of your friends or family or maybe a camera if you can't find anyone.

I don't get the fuss of a relationship. I'm 19 and almost everyone has had interest in a girl or is wanting someone special to either have sex with or an actual relationship. Of course I have the natural instinct to spot out attractive girls but I've always been the kind to laugh at romantic movies and see it as having more disadvantages and getting in the way of ambitions. I'm pretty sure I'm not asexual because there's still the primal lust but I just repress it 24/7 since it's nothing but instinct

>>18107620
Not really. Sure maybe during highschool and not in my personal life but in my mind it would only hold me back.

>>18107632
You'll never know if you don't try. At best it's an emotional and sexual outlet and an additional source of motivation, at worst you go through a nasty breakup.

I've known my boyfriend a very long time and he is my best friend. We have a wonderful life together and our relationship is very good.
Over the past few weeks, I've felt an overwhelming desire to take things to the next level with him. Specifically, I think I want him to put a baby in me.
How do you even go about bringing this kind of thing up, without it becoming some high pressure plan? We've discussed the idea before and both of us are positive towards it, but bringing it up like it's something you're getting closer to is very intimidating.
I know this kind of thing can freak a person out, especially if it wasn't even on your mind and suddenly it becomes an option. Any tips on how to lightly introduce the idea without it seeming like I have a plan or ulterior motive?

Ask him at what age he thinks having a baby is good for him. Like does he wanna wait till he's older, has more money saved up, etc. Or would he prefer to have em young to enjoy watching them grow up(?) Just kinda nudging it a bit.
Up to you though, ultimately how you wanna phrase it.
>>
>>18107612
Yeah, that's true. Neither of us are what you'd call "young", although this isn't the reason why I'm suddenly warming to the idea of children. Something just kind of clicked in me where I really want to experience the journey of having and bringing up a child with this person. This is coming from someone who had pretty much written off the idea a few years ago.
I suppose what I don't want to happen is, I mention it as an idea, he says he isn't ready or doesn't want to, then starts to panic that I'm obsessed with the idea and may try to make it happen. Now I'm very sure he trusts me enough to not assume the worst of me, but I've read some horror stories and wouldn't blame the majority of men for getting a bit nervous if their partner mentioned children.
Another idea was to leave it a few months and then mention it at a less pressured time, maybe on holiday or something, so we can move on from it if he doesn't feel comfortable talking about it.

My ears are fucked up. Playing music too loud as a teen left me with tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear. However, the worst thing about my ears is the itchiness. They itch BAD for hours whenever I'm exposed to even remotely loud noises. I've talked to doctors and they don't see anything wrong. What could this possibly be? I'm really at the end of my rope here, it's making my life SIGNIFICANTLY harder.

Hyperacusis
Hyperacusis is a rare condition that occurs when ordinary sounds cause discomfort or pain to the ears.
I'm pretty sure itching would qualify. Educate yourself a bit then see an ear, nose, throat specialist.
>>
>>18107543
I've got constant tinnitus from shooting guns without hearing protection as a kid. I would pay alot of money to be able to experience silence again. Just one day would be a huge gift.
It's gotten progressively worse over the last 15 years. 2 years ago, I started having a sensation on my right ear, which is the one I perceive less tinnitus in. It feels like I have a bunch of hair in the part of the ear where you can stick your pinky, but not go any further. There is no hair there. Sometimes it feels like a slight burning, like menthol or muscle cream has been applied.
I ignore my tinnitus as much as I can, but it still effects my concentration at work and such.
No answers here, but I think I can empathize with your frustration. Good luck.

You already have the job. They're just gonna ask when you're available to work and put you in the system and schedule training. Relax.

Next week is spring break at my college and I don't really have anywhere to go. Without getting too into it, for the last year or so some of my extended family has been letting me stay with them but theres been some recent turmoil with other family members and I'm no longer welcome there anymore. I don't think they would turn me out on the street but I know that the visit would be unpleasant enough to where I wouldnt be able to get any schoolwork done and my mental health would be pretty fucked up for mid terms which is the week we get back.
The problem with staying over break though is that it costs $300 which I straight up just don't have. I told my friend who is staying on campus about this and he offered to let me stay in his dorm with him (which is not allowed). He has a suite, so there's a self contained kitchen, living room, bathroom and shower. His roommates are all gone for the week and his room is a double with an unoccupied bed.
I know that they do a room check on the first day and I'm confident I can hide or just avoid that but the main problem is that this is a tiny fucking campus in the middle of nowhere. So I can't leave the room, because there's no where to go and there's no one else on campus so the RA's are going to notice me.
I trust my friend and I think I could get enough food together to last for 9 days but is this enough? Do you think I can get away with this shit without getting caught? I'm not worried about getting in trouble, I'm worried about a $300 fine more than anything else. Because the other option is going to end up with me tanking midterms and I need to keep up my GPA to a certain point for scholarship reasons.
TLDR Do you think anyone would catch me living secretly in my friends dorm for over a week?

Just stay the fuck inside and never leave
Only let him check the door
and if there is an emergency, have a plan like getting under the bed or into the closet as soon as possible.

I'm from the UK and had my American girlfriend live with me while I was in university halls. Our halls were 6 self contained bedrooms with a shared kitchen and bathroom per block.
I don't know why, but thinking back I guess I just didn't give a fuck. Nobody in the block cared as they liked both of us. We had people who lived on campus who were responsible for busting you for shit which I'm guessing is the same as your RA's except they were either super crappy or we were super stealthy.
Basically she looked like another student. Nobody was going to really stop and quiz her and if they did they can't detain her or do anything except ask her to leave the site unless she couldn't bullshit her way out of it which she'd have been able to.
Also the main block was locked and each room was locked and this was back in the day when things like inspections/cleaning etc was considered ridiculous rather than routine.

Love is not a feeling that comes and goes. It's a commitment, devotion, and respect for a person that was started by that feeling. Many young people don't understand this.
>>
>>18107526
Wow, thank you for the reply. I've never really thought of it that way. Honestly.. I feel disrespectful for staying because I don't share the same feelings as she does.
It's just I know she will be devastated. I'm one of her only few friends left. Perhaps it's good for her too, so she can find herself.
>>
Currently I this situation and she is visiting now which I love. I love being with her. But she goes to college in another state so when she leaves I will have this feeling back.
