How do I live with myself?
I work a semi-decent job that leaves me with around $450~ surplus a month, and I've been doing it for about four years now. Maybe I have delusions of wine tastes with tap water budget, but I keep trying to look for better jobs with no luck. The only issue is that I don't have a Bachelor's (only associate), and I don't have 2-4 years of preexisting experience. What little independent work I've done seems to have gone unnoticed because it's not part of something bigger. The only experience I have is dumb warehouse labor, and when it comes to work load/wage, I'm making more than if I went over to something like Amazon.
I'm not exactly hurting for money at the end of the day, but I know that all it'd take is one bad day to clean out my account and put me into debt. I know that I'm making well below my age median (29k at 24), and it kills me because I have a urges and dreams to one day start a family, or at least find a job that pays at least $20 an hour compared to $13.47.
Am I supposed to just take more bites of the shit sandwich until I get older and somehow end up in a better job? Is my shit family a healthy indicator of my ultimate fate? Am I just being stupid and not selling myself hard enough or not annoying the right people? I feel like resigning myself to a fate of permanent poor scum...which is still somehow better than the bulk of my family at this point.

Warehouse work is what it is; not much room for advancement. Trades make good money--electrician, HVAC, even drywall, masonry, plumbing. At 24, plenty of time to switch type of work.
>>

How could I even get into something like electrician? I don't have the money to go to a university, and I don't know anyone who could go "sure, you're a liability and you'll be underpaid rest assured...but I'll give you a chance".

How do I get my dad to fuck off? He's the most inconsiderate prick on the planet and won't fuck off.
>he bought this stupid pellet stove
>it squeaks like nails on a chalkboard every time he opens it
>he goes up and down the stairs all day long starting at 6 am until like 3 am every 5 minutes opening it back up and smacking metal shit inside of it
>he's constantly running up and down the stairs while burping stomping farting talking and grunting
>he literally goes to the kitchen and slams the microwave door 8 times every hour
I literally woke up from him 3 times in the last hour. I literally had to crawl out of bed and ask him can I please go to sleep now I'm really tired. I have no fucking clue how he's up 24/7 or why he's such a loud prick Jesus Christ.

I suffer from brain-fog and an inability to reason about concrete concepts effectively anymore. Sometimes even simple math brings me to a pause.
How can I help myself fix this?

Omega 3, 6, 9. Find a way to meditate. Get a doc appt to see if missing vitamins. Eat healthy. Get therapy.

>>18096071
depends on what the issue is. if you have the time to take time off, take time off. no screens, out of your home, preferrably camping, at least 3 days.
mold in your home can cause brain fog, or just staring at computers too long. it all depends.

I have a brain disease that is untreated and has left me mentally handicapped, omega 3 I'm not sure if it actually helps but you can research it

Hi everyone.
I currently go to high school in a small town in the US. I'm about to graduate in a few months and, by some dumb luck, I got accepted into a US school in Shanghai on a decent scholarship.
I've never lived in a city before, so I'm pretty nervous about it. Does anyone have advice about staying safe, away from scammers, etc? Should I be scared of being mugged? Should I carry something like pepper spray? Or am I freaked out for no reason?
I know this might be a "just-google-it" kind of question, but I'd appreciate any thoughts on the subject. Thanks.

Can't say much since I'm from a small town myself though it's a fairly violent one. At least at the beginning the basics should get you covered, things such as don't go walking around on the street late at night, or deserted places at any time. If you really have to, always pay attention to public places/stores you can run into or get help in case something happens. Stay aware of your surroundings. When you're getting used to the place you live and the places you wanna visit you might want to plan your steps up ahead (with google maps or whatever) instead of showing off your phone and looking lost in the middle of the street. Oh, and when you're walking around in the city always check for visual clues (there's probably a better word for it) that can serve as references to where you are in case you get lost. If I remember anything else I'll add to it! Good luck, anon!

You'll be fine. Surely there will be some kind of newcomers orientation so you know what districts you should absolutely avoid, and since you won't find many natives fluent in english, obviously you and your classmates will go out and do things with each other, so safety in numbers. Never a bad idea to have a weapon (small knife, pepper spray). All major cities on the planet, regardless of country, will have scammers. Don't wear baggy pants, because it's easier to be pickpocketed and not feel it. If a group of kids ever run up to you, make sure to put habds on your wallet and phone - it's a common tactic to be overwhelmed by groups then one person does the pickpocketing. Don't give money to the homeless. Give them food or whatever else, but don't pull put your wallet. If you are waiting on anything, it's a good idea to have your back against a wall, or at least have your hands on your wallet and cellphone as you wait. All I can think of for now

the only advice i have for u in the city is dont make eye contact with black people. black people are racist, they treat white people so badly.

Recently seperated. Theres a girl i see everyday. Fuck it, mustarded up the courage to friend request out of the blue.
She Posts a bunch of good music. I messaged her for more recommendations... We have been messening ever since. A lot. This started about 3 weeks ago.
Here is the fucked up part. Shes engaged. Married.jpg this fall. She doesnt mention him that much and she almost seems nervous about it.
In summary were both miserable in our current siuations but cant easily get out of them. It seems like we are developing feelings for each other at the same time.
Ive never felt this type of romance or this shock of energy before. If anything i want to remain really good friends but before she gets married (if) i want to take her out on amazing date and kiss her.
What the fuck is going on /adv/?? What do i do about this?.

I got an offer to come in for an interview at this place, however the commute is about 1 hour and 40 minutes away. Should I take it?

Yes, if you really need it. I myself have once traveled over 35 miles every night for a graveyard shift factory job via public transportation that took around 1 hour and 30 minutes. For the last leg of the trip I had to walk about a mile before reaching my work place.

Does it pay? Enough to cover gas expenses and the chore of driving one hour just to get there, I mean. Do you like what you'll be doing? Do you think it will be good to your career/to build experience? You have to evaluate things like that before accepting. And you can always jump out if it proves to be a bad choice, I guess
>>
>>18096083
Yeah it would be great for my career as a digital artist/graphic designer. By commute I mean public transport, I still need to finish my driver's test and get a car. By the wage, I'm not sure entirely, but I'll ask during interview I guess.

Im wondering if my relationship is worth the stress involved. I met a guy about 6 months ago and we went out on a few dates and it became a regular thing to hangout and we started to date, shortly after we started dating, i explain to him that i have chronic depression and im also bipolar (medicated for both so that they don't effect my daily life) and he says that he will do his best ti help me and explains that he deals with stress too from time to time... this was the beginning.
He calls everyday which isn't bad but all he does on the phone is complain about his life and when we text it's nothing but the same, he chastises me for not being as verbal as he thinks i should be, and equates it to my illnesses (its not related) and whenever i bring up negative things between us, he gets extremely emotional and will even cry. (Today i asked what it was that we see in each other and he started sniffling and crying about how we need each other.)
Im wondering what happened and how did me explaining my illnesses to him trigger this static change in behavior... should o just end it before i get too attached?

So, I've been really struggling the past 6 months with my finances, and it looks like I'm going to have a rough month. I'll be lucky if I have anything left over for food. This has me worried, and frankly pretty depressed. Can anyone help me sort this shit out?

How much money do you have left for the month (after paying rent?)
Do you donate blood-plasma?
Last month I managed to survive fine with 240€
>>
>>18096005
Give or take $935 but my car is $300 (including insurance) those are my two major expenditures. Most of what's left over goes to little bills that add up. Usually I have $150-200 left over for food/entertainment. Frankly, I could be better at managing my money.

Hello normies. I've never really questioned my lot in life. I'm unattractive, short, mildly autistic, and only have autistic interests such as vidya, shitposting, and recently anime. No woman has ever even attempted to get close to me and I fully understand why. I've never thought about having a relationship as anything but a nice fantasy, completely within the realm of fiction. However, I'm starting to wonder about what I'm missing out on. Every year gets lonelier, and after watching an embarrassing amount of romance anime I've started to think. Doesn't it stand to reason that somewhere out there is a girl who's not popular, not particularly attractive, and shares similar geeky interests who might be desperate enough (or even be happy) to be with me? Obviously, experiencing love and affection is as natural as eating and drinking to 99% of people. How can I experience that myself? What's the secret?

>talk with people that aren't interested in things I like

What's the point of talking to people? Is the chance that they might like something I like be the main motivation? I just can't force myself to be curious about people.

>What's the point of talking to people?
keeping your job.
I used to just not talk much but people got angry and upset about it. So now I talk to people just enough so they don't hate me. I read the results of football online so I can talk a little about something they're interested in. I still dont like them or football though.
>>
We talk to people because:
A. We want something from them.
B. We want to cum inside their body.
All of the unnecessary shit like conversation, interests, and feelings is just societal foreplay.
>>
>>18095980
my main problem is why would I go out and speak with people when I can go on specific places on the internet to always talk about literally anything I want right on the spot with other people who share that interest only? I know it's kind of retarded to think like that but at the same time why not?

I'm 24.
I'm in my second year of university so my friends are 19-21 year olds.
When I was 19-21 I didn't get to go to parties and clubs, wear makeup and nice clothes or have friends or sex
I was a burnout loser NEET who was on the computer all day every day, rarely venturing outside and had 0 friends
I feel like I've lost a good portion of my youth. I'll never get to have the memories they do.
How do I stop grieving over the experiences and time that I lost? There's no way to make up for it now

Started studying engineering a few years ago, got depressed. Changed schools. Got into humanities.
When I got out of engineering school I called my mom mid-crisis to let her know i had done it and to tell her I was walking home to tell my dad. She told me she'd tell him, that he'd take it better coming from her. So I came home and went straight to my room to cry myself to sleep.
Of course things were too much for her and she backed down, didn't tell me, though. New school started and I got into antidepressants. Tried to OD on them so I could come clean to him when I found out mom hadn't told him. Didn't work. With each passing day things got harder. Never really told him.
Tomorrow's my graduation. I tried to tell him today, but mom took him to my sister's home on another city. That's when the message came: "I already told your dad about your career. Hes very sad, as I expected him to be. If he tells you anything, don't respond. I'll hanlde him"
They arrived an hour ago. He hasn't spoken to me. What do?

Thanks for responding. I know I have to tell him that. I plan on explaining my situation to him. I accknowlede that I failed him as his only son. I feel like shit.

A little update:
He just went into my room with my mom and asked me why didn't I tell him sooner. Told him. He told me he supported my career choices, even though he looked dissapointed as fuck (naturally). Somehow I feel worse.
Thanks, /adv/.

My life sucks, really bad, and I want to kill myself, but I can't get the stones to do it... I've tried, but I chicken out, I pull myself from the noose, I wrap the wounds ect. ect. How do I built the courage to kill myself.

Don't do it. Your life is worth saving. I know life seems like it sucks right now, but I promise you there are beautiful things in every day. Happy moments that you're missing. People that love you, that you just can't seem to notice. Everything will be ok. Don't end your life. Live it to its fullest.

Tbh I feel suicidal at least every two months. What always helps me is long walks alone in the woods. You realize all of your problems are made up. If you have food and water in the woods nothing else matters.
Walking alone in the woods gives clarity, if you still feel suicidal after that you will at least have more resolve, but I doubt you'll want to once you gain some perspective
