>graduated from university almost 2 years ago
>for three years I've wasted all of my free time on internet browsing
>for at least 3 times a week in the past 1.5 years I've had junk food and told myself it was the last time and believed myself
>same as above but with coffee

How do I start working really hard and avoid eating junk? My procrastination has been immense. Is the answer really just, "Just do it"? How do other people do it?

It seems like everyone lives an easy life compared to me. Either they're a female, chad, or some generic normie who is accepted by everyone and has a support structure. I am ugly and have bad social skills and no social life so I will never have any sort of support structure. I feel like an incredible loser whenever I see any young people.

I always feel so paranoid and frustrated because there are ten trillion books / subjects people say you have to learn or else you're stupid." Not only do I get annoyed by this, I can clearly see that they're talking shit, yet I still feel constantly cucked because I haven't read that book etc.

I've completely squandered almost two years on nothing but internet time wasting and lazing about. I used to go on the bus and go to the library or cinema to feel less alone but that made me feel like a loser in public (it just makes me feel cheated). I have had graduate interviews but have never been extroverted and normie enough to pass them. My part time jobs have never taken up much time but I despised them even though I barely work.

I have never been motivated enough to work on productive things in my own time. I consider learning programming and have done about three weeks of productive maths / programming in two years but it's just another mountain to climb. I have to become a workaholic ubermensch just to create some stupid app / nonsense business / become a low tier wagecuck while everyone else floats in to prestigious jobs because they are a normie.

The 6 months I have spent here have been the worst of my life. I'm on the verge of failing a math class that I am retaking and a chemistry class, both integral to the major I wanted to do. I don't have any friends here and I've gotten so many shit grades that at this point I don't even feel bad about it anymore. I just feel stupid that I am wasting so much money. I am going to go to my school's counseling office tomorrow to either cancel my enrollment or go on acedemic leave. I am wondering as to what exactly I should say when I talk to them. I might want to come back after a while so I don't want to kill the chance of me ever going back to university. What do /adv/?

It's been a year and I keep having nightmares with my ex girlfriend and they are always the same, that she has become a slut (that she has fuckbuddies and one night stands) and I feel really bad after these dreams, anxious and really sad. Why they keep happening? I rarely think of her during the day and what could I do?
>Inb4 if she was a man you would consider that to be bad behaviour
I find promiscuity immoral regardless of the gender

I'm nineteen. I have ADHD. I have trouble sitting down to do work. I overreact to sadness and freak out. I have a bit of a temper. I can suppress almost all of my other temptations (saying random shit, cutting people off, etc.) I am on medication.

I hate working. I can barely bring myself to do it. I know this sounds like a dumb complaint, everyone hates work. But for me it makes me want to kill myself.

I want to kill myself. I don't want to live as someone who is objectively inferior to other people, especially in such a cutthroat and hard world. My mind is broken. Nobody understands me. Nobody cares to.

What are the odds I will get better?

I want to become my very own version of Christian Grey.
Successful, fit, selfmade, independent.
How do I achieve that? I train four times a week, I study physics to obtain a degree and I program in my spare time, read books as well.

Am I on the right track?

There's this bitch, let's call her Red. She's generally a manipulative person, and no one in our nerd group likes her. She blocked a friend of mine on facebook for opposite political beliefs. Red later publicly accuses him of harassment. He's a good friend of mine, so I try to defend him politely. I say if you don't want something criticized don't put anything at all. She flips her shit. Tells me I have my head up his ass, tells me she has a job and a life, and the conversation is over. She ends up unfriending me. And stops hanging out with everyone else in our group of friends.

A few peaceful months pass and my friend wants Red to come back to hang out with our nerd group. She says if he apologizes, she'll consider coming back (through her boyfriend, I might add). If she comes back, which I'm hoping she doesn't (I'm a shy piece of shit who likes being nice to people. Even though I might not act that way when I see her), but I'm wondering if there are any ways I could convince my friend not to apologize, or to just show her in the most passive aggressive way that I hate her?

Basically, my sister is somewhat neglecting her dog. Not in any major way, he is well fed and he obviously gets to go outside 3 times a day to take a dump and pee.
But he isn't getting any real exercise, he seems a bit neurotic to me (licks everything and doesn't stop, he has a pillow that he licks for hours until it's soaking wet) and he's not well trained. Most of that is probably due to him being alone for most of the day.

I'm not sure what to tell her or if I should even bring it up. She's working all day and obviously tired when she gets home, but I really think she should go out with her dog for a run or something instead of "cuddling" with him in front of the TV.

My girlfriend ignores me. I don't mean she doesn't talk to me or anything, but sometimes I'll be messaging her and she'll be reading the messages, but then she'll just start talking about her own thing.

I brought it up to her, and she knows she does it sometimes. She says sometimes she intentionally does it when I try to talk about something serious because she either doesn't know what to say or just wants to avoid it. But when I just want to talk about something I'm interested in it happens sometimes. She says she believes me, but doesn't realize she does it. I know she gets excited sometimes and gets in her own little world, and I humor that, but when it happens often for weeks it kinda builds up and gets frustrating/depressing.

It's not a matter of her not respecting my taste or my interests. When she doesn't feel talkative, she'll explicitly ask me to talk about things because she does like listening to me talk passionately about things when she isn't in the mood to talk. She also always asks for movie and music recs from me, so it's not like she thinks I'm lame or anything.

I know it happens because when she gets excited, it overwhelms her thoughts and she gets in her own little world. I totally understand that, and I think it's cute. I don't want to stop her, because then I know she's just waiting for me to finish talking so she can go on. I just don't like how ignored I feel when it happens. Maybe it's not a problem of hers at all, and just me?

This is for my job, actually.

I've ignored social media for years because of a rather wretched family life and just having 0 time for it with studies and drama. Now, I'm in a field that requires knowledge of social media and I need to also be able to network since many of the clients and all that jazz are internet people anyway.

So, how do I really do that? I've gotten 5 followers on twitter in the past day and am trying to get to about 50 a week to start with.

As for instagram, I'm not ugly so I could probably get featured on a few pages but other than that, I am at a loss.

Are there any good books or articles on these subjects?
