I would like to acquire a Heightened Received Pronunciation. You know, the upper-class british accent.

See example:

I recommend taking a trip to London and just hang around the streets and go into pubs and such. Also, take notes from this video;

go to a professional dialect coach
they usually work with actors

if you can't, or don't have the money, there are lots of guides online for it but a large amount of them are targeted toward american speakers of english/people with american accents

learn IPA pronunciations to help with all this

you probably arent going to hear as much of the posh accent just walking around london as suggested by >>18100754
>>
>>18100744
>upper class British accent
>not even upper class British
>not even British
What for? You're just going to sound incredibly pretentious

My gf lives 3 hours away so we only see each other on weekends. We usually alternate who drives to see who, but lately I've had to do most of the driving because she has wrecked her car twice since we've started dating.

Last weekend she tried to swallow an entire bottle of anti-anxiety pills in front of me and I had to physically restrain her until she calmed down, and I basically spent the entire weekend comforting her in her room worrying about if she was going to hurt herself when I left.

Last night my friends invited me to stuff but I had to tell them no because I need to drive up to see my gf... but just now I really didn't feel like driving and called to tell her that I want to spend this weekend in town with my friends. She got upset, told me she didn't even hear anything I said after I said I wasn't going to go see her, and then she hung up on me.

Am I in a toxic relationship?

Was the pill-popping unexpected? If yes, maybe not. If no, yes.
>>
If all you said was that she was popping pills then yes, you are in a toxic relationship.

Alongside everything else, absolutely.

I know your 'compassion' prevents you from ending it, because that's where we've all been at one point or another. But you know that you will have to end it sooner or later, and you're better off doing it soon.

Otherwise enjoy having the life sucked out of you. You can't fix everyone, dude. No matter how hard you try.

Yes, dumdum, of course you are. She's fucking insane. The only relationship she should have right now is with a psychiatrist.

Why does it feel impossible to get a girlfriend/fuckbuddy ?

I'm starting to think that girls just don't like me and I think I should go to an escort.

Maybe this will help being more cool around women.

It's not that girls don't like you, it's just that you haven't found the right one yet OP. Just keep trying and eventually you'll find the right person.

Hello. I am a 20 year old college student, but this problem started when I was about 14 and has only gotten worse over the years.
I cannot stop sleeping. I get about 8 hours of sleep on school nights, then go to class and fall asleep during lessons, then skip lunch some days in order to sleep some more, then get home and take a nap, then go to work where I fall asleep during slow hours, then go home and sleep some more. Today was my day off, and I slept from 11 pm last night to 10 am, then took a two hour nap at 11:30 am, and now it is 5:45 pm and I am fighting back the urge to fall asleep once again.
I eat healthy food. I get moderate exercise as I don't drive (I fall asleep while driving) and get around everywhere by walking or biking. I take vitamin supplements every morning. I have had my blood tested for iron and vitamin deficiency and everything is normal. What is wrong with me? I don't think it's narcolepsy because I don't "faint" or experience muscle weakness. When I went to my sleep specialist, she would not let me take a sleep study until I had stopped napping after 4 pm for a month, which was impossible for me. What do I do? I'm desperate, every hour I spend sleeping is an hour I could spend doing something else but I just can't stop.

Someone with a similar problem got responses suggesting it might be a thyroid problem or something else that a physician could diagnose
(of course, then some paranoid cunt said a physician would just want to get your a bunch of vaccine shots for money... and it devolved from there.)

Anyways, see a pro.
>>
>>18100691
get a second opinion anon. I'm sorry for this but know this won't always stay the same, you will know more about the problem and even solve it. can you ask friends and family for help?

make an appointment with other doctor
>>
Try some coffee in the morning. I drink about 3 cups in the morning. Also, get some exercise. Just something to get your breathing and heart rate up for about 20-30 minutes a day. Nothing crazy, I don't want you looking better than I do. Not getting exercise will cause a build up of nitrogen in the body and you feel tired all the time. Exercise helps add oxygen to the body and balance shit out. Google what I'm telling you.

I've been biting my nails since i've been a kid, i tought i'd eventually grown out of it so i didnt really put much thought into it, but since i'm reaching my late teens and i still have that disgusting habit i wanted to know any ways to stop it.

I've also been biting my nails since childhood and i still do it today at age 26. I've never had a problem with it, it's not something you should worry about unless you're a complete basket case who does it 24/7
>>
Used to do it a lot. Started using clippers and a nail file to clean them up. Figured that seeing them looking nice I wouldn't want to mess them up. It worked. Haven't gone back to biting them since then.

>>18100689

use a clear nailpolish.

Hey guys, this is my situation.
-Long Term girlfriend of 7+ years(known her since middle school).
-Started a semi fast g rowing business. Both my girlfriend and I are financially stable with both high paying STEM degrees.
- Iam pretty charismatic and I have a bunch of girl-friends and guy friends. Some of them want to have sex but I never gave them the chance. However when Im out with my guy friends and them I have some of the girls make out for everyone's entertainment. I want to get my girlfriend involved but Im afraid of destroying the relationship.
Both of the girls are promiscuous enough not to say anything to her if something happened but my gut and sense of control would probably end up killing me if I cheated. Should I stay with the stable girl of my youth, or break free and have fun with other girls, or try to have both? Anyone with experience on this would be great. But im open to anything.

Follow your heart man, fucking random girls isn't nearly as rewarding.

If you fuck them, the second after you cum you will feel nothing but remorse and despair.

Keep that in mind.

You have a woman who is faithful already. I guess if you change your religion you could have multiple woman who are faithful.

Should i follow this? i dont think its healthy

Health can be subjective.

There are physical symptoms (weak ankles), but you can just work those out every now and then.
Emotionally, it depends on the person. For me, at first I became slightly depressed, because I was thinking of the past. All the wrongs I've done, and all those done to me.
Psychologically... my paranoia has remained intact, and I still don't value others... but I'm learning to.

Honestly, it just seems like a lot of time to think about things.

tl;dr go for it. It works for me. Well, not 100% isolation, but like... 70%
>>
>>18100685
Don't do it. There is a plethora of documentation on isolation, cases of people in isolation, and particularly the effects of social isolation, you are liable to drop in IQ through longterm isolation.

I mean. Google it. Isolation is not what we are meant to do. We are social creatures.

Should I pick graphic design or fine art?

what about fine design or graphic art?
>>
Exactly
>>
I majored in graphic design then got a graphic design job straight out of school.

The company went out of business, after their rivals went out of business months prior.

The past 10 years for me (time since that job) have been misery and hopelessness, retraining again and again only to go work for other doomed companies who become fully insolvent mere months later.

Why the hell is fine art your other choice? Learn plumbing or carpentry if you like money.

Dude you are dating a cum-dumpster.

You need to re-evaluate your life choices at this point.

I have trouble living with the fact (regardless of prejudices) that *most* people, at least in this culture, are major sources of pain to others. I'm tired of seeing male cruelty and female trickery. I'm tired of seeing greed and so on. Sometimes I don't like myself, don't feel like I'm the best human, but often I just hate the fact that I am human. Maybe there's more simplicity, and therefore more purity, in being something like a dolphin or an elephant. What does that mean? I think we create a mental hell for each other, and I'm tired of living in it.

Do any of you have feedback/advice on this?

You're fighting the ego (aka thoughts). At the core you are the same conciousness as dolphins and elephants. The reason you feel this way is because you probably overthink too much.

I'd advice to either meditate or read some Nietzsche, whatever floats your boat.
>>
>>18100636
Nietzsche was fuckin' miserable, and how do you figure there is a collective consciousness - religion?
>>
People can drive themselves insane trying to figure out all the aspects of the human condition. Don't be one of those people. Just keep living your life, trying to be the best human being you can and tuning out all the evil in the world to the best of your ability.

How do I deal with feedback

I find it hard to accept my own imperfections

i.e. I had an internship 1,5 years ago where nothing went right. They kicked me out and I think about the things they told me about my work every day. It was 1,5 years ago ffs. Although I finished school and have an actual job now so why worry.

I just can't stop thinking about negative feedback and what I could've done different.

It sounds like your job isn't keeping you occupied enough for you to stop thinking about it.
>>
>>18100627
maybe that's right. I only work a half week (20 hrs) . I nver get negative feedback anymore though

An ex of mine has told me she wants me back at least three times now. It has been sometime since the last time she said she wanted me back. What should i do? Things are kinda awkward between us.

Well you are either going to get a job and try to find a place to live or you will be homeless with no money and probably starve to death. Only you can get your life on track.
>>
>>18100579
Why are you getting kicked out? Is there anyway to not get kicked out or delay it a few months? Will you have a place to stay? Do you have any savings at all? What us the cost of living where you are? Get a job. Get a GED.

How did you afford weed and cigarettes with no job?
