I'm in my senior year of high school and for the past four years I have had no friends. I was always relatively friendly to everyone and tried my best to be well adjusted, but no one ever felt inclined to invite me to anything (with the exeption of the four big birthday parties where they felt inclined to invite literally anyone.

I am at the point where I just don't want to pretend to be normal anymore and just feel the need to tell someone in detail about how I have no friends and then just listen to the ackward silence.

How do I make friends before I go off to college? I need to remedy my extreme deficit of social interaction.

Hey man i feel exactly just like you, and everyone probably feels the same deep inside. One suggestion, maybe you gotta be the event setter?

You can make new friends whenever you get to know someone, even if we have 2 months left. If you can't thats fine too, college is a blank slate; first two weeks, you're probably not going to learn much, so go out there meet tons of new people, then worry about cliches later when you find people you particularly like.

Does this help?

> everyone probably feels the same deep inside
nah, I pretty much compared myself to everyone in senior year and I'm the only one without a group of friends.

I once went trough a list of my peers and couldn't find anyone like me, I've literally seen everyone else walking around / going to parties with their friend group while I'm shopping for groceries or some shit. There are lots of people who feel like me but none of them are in my immediate vicinity.

>maybe you gotta be the event setter

This requires the social skills that I never developed in my early childhood. I know that mys suggestions wouldn't get shot down, but I couldn't properly execute a plan without friends, which I don't have.

Senior in college here

Literally it's too late.

It all ends in two months. It's done. Be sad about how you wasted highschool or don't, you've got about 60 days left. This isn't your life anymore.

I have a lot on my plate in life at the moment and need some direction. I have been sad, depressed, and lonely for the past 10 years and I have no idea what to do or where to go. I've been working for my father for the past 5 or so years, but the business is dying for reasons beyond our control. I dislike the work itself and as such its really turned me off from the vehicle industry as a whole. I am 23 and have saved about $20k from working. I have no real hobbies or interests and no real future. What do I do? Should I go to school for...something? I hate where I live, should I just disappear? Should I kill myself? I have no direction and no one who can help me.

2.you can off yourself (like a bitch)
3.or you can do whatever the fuck you want cuz you ain't got nothing to lose.

hey ive been dating this girl for almost 4 months, and her birthday is coming up in about a week. Im planning on buying her one of these music boxes(pic related) that plays "you are my sunshine" with a little note the says something like "happy birthday to my sunshine" Do you think she will like this or is it too cheesy?

it seems ok, just try getting her a bracelet or something just incase she doesnt like it that much
>>
It sounds wonderful! I would go with that, man I think just about anyone would love a gift like that. In the case that she doesn't like it, buy her a cake, that will brighten the mood and if she wasn't thoroughly happy with the music box already she will be happier,

You get used to it I guess. You have to stop putting them on pedestals and just see your own self worth. If they lose you, thats it, it is THEIR loss. And you will continue on your own great journey of life without them.

Let's take a minute to talk about change. I've been watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of articles about it and of all the common ways to fail at changing I realized that there is one that's not often touched upon.
The lack of a reason to change. Now you'll read and see a lot about how you need a "why" in order to succeed in your endeavors. Whatever reason means the most to you, your life purpose and on and on. However, I have been trying to change of a few of my habits lately and I realize that I don't have any "why"'s that are significant enough to trump my current life. My life is pretty damn good, so I'm having trouble coming up with a reason to change it. It's a great life but not the life I want. I wish I could claim that I'm not complacent because I think about change a lot, but my issue is two fold. I also don't follow through. I don't have a reason to and all that jazz. I'm 24, in the Air Force, I have a great girlfriend; two cats a nice apartment and a sturdy car.

How do I overcome my complacency and get to a point mentally where I HAVE to change and build off my current environment?

Anyone can be a friking cashier if they know basic maths, why the fuck do they ask for 2 years experience on retarded shit like that?

I think there's no correct answer to that but my favorite is still: Just do stuff. Go out, meet new people, even if they have nothing to do with you, try new things, develop a new healthy habit, such as working out or a craft.

So there is this female co worker, who is always there to help me when I need it and pointing at where a customer needs helping putting their items in their car. But every time she says thank you Anon I would completely ignore her and just keep walking.

I'm more of a shy loner introvert guy, while she is more outgoing, friendly, and just is able to get along with everyone at work.

Should I apologize for being such a dick to her? Would she even care?

Is this autistic?

I'm getting my ass beat this semester by three of my science classes. All of them require a shit load of study time and understanding the concepts. Any free time I have (which is basically never) is usually devoted to doing work or studying for those classes because there's so much shit to understand and I'm usually at a disadvantage by not knowing everything or being up to date. Anyway, there's a girl I see every so often working at the dining hall on my campus. She's always really nice to me and we talk for a bit before I leave off with my food. I'd totally date her but I feel like I won't have enough time to spend with her when I could be spending that time studying for my classes which I really need to focus on. Because where I stand now with my classes, I'm not doing too well.

tl;dr want to date a girl but i'm a busy motherfucker. is it reasonable to not date her because of how busy i am?

I always thought it was odd to have a partner whilst studying. Or at least to start a relationship as you're studying. Because not only will you inevitably be busy, as you say, but you will have this whole person to get to know and be able to devote some amount of your spare time to. It's too time consuming and you're risking a break-up that could potentially send you down depression avenue, which would completely screw up your grades.

tl;dr: save it for later

You've touched on what you think you should do, so let my comment help shift your doubt:

Your wellbeing, academic or otherwise, comes first. Get your studies under control while you have the chance, or you'll regret tanking grades.

I took up working for a family member because I'm a former freelancer and they couldn't get anyone reliable.

I've been making this guy around $2 million a year and he won't give me a pay rise from about $40,000 and makes me work insane hours.

I feel bad because other family members have a stake in the business but where do you draw the line?

depends on the context, but if you can make 2 million dollars a year by walking away and telling the clients 'hey, you know how im the guy who does all the work? well i can at 75% of the original cost now.

boom, now you're a millionaire.

Posted this on /mu/ but thought it might be good here too:


A fairly popular Youtube channel (probably make around 20k a year from videos and ads) has been using music from my old band in their intros. Which I feel cool about it, but I'm pissed because they aren't even giving credit to us in the video bios.

The music isn't copyrighted, so am I basically shit out of luck in terms of going after them legally?

I would approach them kindly and say, "hey, man, thanks for using my old band's music in the intros!!!! I am flattered. I just wanna ask for one quick favor: would you mind mentioning the band that made it in your video descriptions? Would greatly appreciate that, as it would be advantageous to us!"

Kill 'em with kindness.
