How do I stop pining for my ex? He hurt me deeply and shut me out altogether and all this time I've still been finding myself wanting and expecting him to apologize in some way, but I've finally realized that the only reason I'm desperate for an apology is so that I can get my foot back in the door with him. Because, sadly, I know I'd still take him back, despite the many ways he very callously ended things with me. I don't even have any reason to believe he even feels bad. He's probably moved on completely and yet I'm still here waiting.
I'm just so sad all the time even though we've been apart for some time now. I can't figure out how to move on or let go. Nothing I do seems to be working -- I can't even concentrate on any of my hobbies for those to be helpfully distracting.
I love you
>>17957948
What kind of hobbies do you have? Where do you live? How old are you?
I've been there. He never really apologized. It was only when a friend told me he sounded emotionally abusive that I started to be able to move on. You have to understand that you're not really pining for your ex, but for who you wish he was. I can't give much help on moving on since it took me a while too. But try to accept that what you want will never happen.
Hello /adv/, Wayne Lambright here! Really thinking about changing my wardrobe have any advice on what style I should go with?
>>17957919
Shave your head
Horn rim glasses
work out
trim your beard
wear whatever the fuck you want
only faggy metrosexual millenials care about clothes other than utilitarian purposes
Try a kevorkian necktie, Wayne
>>17957919
Just get the fuck out of here Wayne, not tonight
Anyone have advice on how to get my Facial hair to grow in faster/fuller?
A coworker of mine suggested picking up a philips trimmer but is trimming it the only way to get facial hair to grow properly? or does it just take time
My upper lip looks like that. Never shaved in my life. Might start soon.

Just start shaving it using a razor .. that doesn't work -> pubic hair transplant

>>17957885
If you have a problem with every single worker at multiple jobs it is probably you.
>>17957888
Trips of truth
>>17957885
Take general ed classes, (math, language, history, science) and use that time to figure out what you want. Electives additionally help you figure out. the purpose of these classes is so you can explore your interest before committing!
so apparently girls think im a fuckboy and thats why im eternally single
what does that even mean
>>17957878
Describe what you do when you're trying to get with a girl
>>17957889
I just talk to them a bit over text then invite them out, or I just try to be their friend and be friendly.
>>17957896
Do you say a lot of sexual stuff/innuendo to girls you haven't slept with yet? do you generally try to talk to a bunch of girls to see which one works out, or do you kinda focus on one at a time?
When ever I talk to grill I got feels for over messages the conversations always turn to menial shit, how can I stop this? Irl we can have regular conversation
>>17957848
>menial shit
>regular conversation
Give us an example of what you mean by each
I have this exact problem. Help me senpais.
Set up dates and stop texting so much. If you get rejected just stop texting her in general.
He's my homeroom teacher and my personal tutor. We became really close after I became the school representative in a quiz bee and he's my adviser/tutor in that. After studying, we hang out, eat together or shop together before he takes me home. We sometimes flirt but it always goes nowhere. I think he's somewhat interested in me because everytime my classmates tease me and the boy who likes me, he glares at me in class and then give me the cold treatment later when we're alone. I told him he doesn't need to worry because I belong to him and him alone but then he drew the line saying I'm a student and he's a teacher so I shouldn't say things like that. Days later, he'll flirt with me again, not confirming anything. It's always like that and I'm getting tired of it, I love him but our situation is such a pain, what should I do?
If this was going to go somewhere, don't you think it already would have?
Age gap is 9 years btw. He's really hot and a math wizard.
>>17957828
I don't know, he's really hard to read. There are times when I think of giving up of course, but he's really sweet, it increases my hope.
Are there any based religions?
>be me
>exploring different religions
>enjoy a lot of what many have to offer
>narrow it down to becoming protestant or mormon
>"oh but you have to literally believe that thing about jesus dying for your sins because that makes sense"
>can't get past it
>can't fully join these religions
What's the deal? Believing that God isn't a pinpointed deity who literally speaks to us in structured language and exists outside the laws of physics isn't allowed. The main point of these religions is that God impregnated a virgin (nohymennomiracle, had her give birth to himself, and set himself up in a situation that he knew would get him killed. How does this part of the story make any sense? Why is it considered sacrifice and suffering if he knows for a fact that earthly pain is meaningless?
Have you looked into taoism or Buddhism? I'm not religious myself but I find the point of Buddha being a human just like us who learned how to maneuver through life harmoniously without forcing him as a deity (though some do) to be an excellent example of something similar to what you're looking for
>>17957832
Those can coexist with the religions I mentioned, and likely will with me.
I'm looking for something otherworldly, something more of a religion than a philosophy. Maybe my understanding of those religions you mentioned is insufficient
>>17957821
I think you're taking it too literally. This is the part of the story that makes the most sense, it's the crux of the whole Jesus thing, and the Jesus narrative plays out again and again throughout history.
Jesus was killed because he was a preachy troublemaker, because he made people confront their own sins. For people that do Christianity right, attempting to be "Christlike" means standing up and speaking up for what you believe is right, even when it makes you wildly unpopular or hated.
So, I don't party much but every time I do I always try to at least have some fun. I don't do this frequently but when I meet a cute guy I chatted up with him and maybe making out if there's chemistry.
I went on first dates usually relaxed and energetic. I could hug/a pick on the lips to say goodbye, holding hands with them or sometimes kissing them if I feel like I into them. Never sleep on the first date though.
So this is the problem. Am I sound like a hoe?
My friends say the reason making me still single up to this age is because I'm easy. I admit I am an affectionate one but I have my boundaries despite the fact I'm touchy-freely.
>>17957765
Im pretty critical of stuff like this but honestly if it really is like you say then no, you're far from as bad as hoes get.
t. "Bbc chad" I deal with a lot of modern young women if what you're saying really is accurate, you're fine, don't sweat it. just do what you do and someone will come along who enjoys you and it'll work.
Unless you're fat, then get it together Linda, if you're ugly though sorry life will just be harder
>>17957879
Then why it seems like I have no luck with men?
I'm not fat. But I'm only 5ft. I work out so I'm fit. I'm not desperate for a relationship but whenever I feel like I want one then that guy will run away.
>>17957910
Are you ugly?
Also you kinda have to be a bit conservative, I know myself and a lot of other guys feel that if a woman is extremely forward and unabashed,it messes up the natural flow of things, it does make you seem easy and makes guys think of whether or not you're like that with all guys you have some interesting in. Those qualities may work great for one night stands or quick flings. But no sane and healthy man wants those qualities in a wife.
Play a little hard to get, hold back a bit and make it seem like you're worth the work it takes to get in there
>Haven't gotten a full strength erection in years
>Even Viagra didn't really solve the problem
I'm scared. What will it take to fix this?
Chopp it off, if viagra didn't do it it's beyond salvation
Do you have porn induced erectile dysfunction?
>>17957802
No I barely ever watch porn anymore
ITT: Dreams you've given up on.
>Be me

>The older I get the less time I get to actually write anything
>Hit 12th grade and faced with teachers and counselors continuously bombarding us with questions of what we want to do with our lives
>Tell them I want to score music
"You'll most likely be living with your parents"

>Still don't know what I want to do with my life
>Currently graduated, looking at community college
From time to time I still write small piano pieces, but nothing quite as big as I use to write.
fuck em as least try, but make sure you have a backup plan.
>>17957762
Most I can think of is to do commissions on the side, but nothing to the scale that I dreamed of when I was a kid.
Gotta start small I suppose.
>phd in math $300k starting
feels bad
When i was a kid my fucked aunt drilled a hole in the side of my head.
As I got older I became more self.conscious about. I can feel people stare and I get anxious.
When I was a kid, I was carefree and didn't give two fucks.
What do?
>>17957729
Why and how did she do it OP?

Bullshit. There's no way that actually happened

I have been through a lot of traumatising emotional and sexual things over the last few years and it made me go psychotic.
Now I'm in a good place around good people, but my emotions are all fucked and I can hardly feel more than a hint of good feelings or libido at any given time. I've been like this for months.
I feel disconnected from the world, I can only strongly emotionally react to some music sometimes.
It feels like I'm drifting through life and not a part of it
How many years must I wait until I can feel everything good intensely again?
>>17957726
You might need to start learning to live with it, you've developed a disconnect with the world as a cushion, if something bad happens it doesn't feel very real so it won't hurt as much (like your favorite TV show character dying vs an actual person you care about dying). That's the mechanism behind it, once you understand that it should make coping easier, I've found that taking 5 minutes out your day or any moment you can to just relax,sit still, close your eyed and really focus on listening to the world around you, it helps quite a bit (for me at least)
t. I've got PTSD from growing up in a warzone in Africa and experience a similar feeling on a daily basis, almost as if I'm watching a movie instead of experiencing real life.
Open the doors of your heart
You are not disconnected from the universe
you perceive you are because you selfishly believe you are separate from everything.
Pro-tip: you're not.
>>17957827
I agree and appreciate the sentiment, but you've gotta explain it further to the OP in a way that makes sense, at face value what you typed looks like mysticism and bullshit (mind you I 100%) agree with what you said, but if I hadn't studied things like that on my own your post would seem useless to a lot of people here
How do I get my friends to stop asking me to join them in threeways?
I'm not gonna sugarcoat this more than I need to. I'm male, I'm attractive, my friends are not. We've all known each other since high school, and I can safely assume that none of my male friends are interested in me sexually. However, most of them are married or at least have an S/O. The problem is, my unattractive friends married unattractive ladies. It's not even that I have very high standards, but sex is kinda weird for me, which is a whole different monster, and I'm not gonna put on airs to fuck my friend's girl. Beyond that, I'm just not into it.
I've been approached about two MMF and one MFF in just a few weeks. I don't wanna explain to my friends that they look like sacks of shit, or that I'm not interested in their wives, or that I have my own thing that I don't really want to explain to them, so on and so forth.
Best way to shut this shit down ?
>best way to shut this shit down?
Tell them that they and their wives are pug fugly. Should shut it down pretty quick
>mfw you're ugly as sin and your friends are all pulling a prank on you
You can either be a dishonest asshat and lie to them saying you're not comfortable with threeways anymore,. OR you can man up and just tell your gross friends they married gross girls and you don't want to even go near that shit
Girl who I've been talking to seriously for a little bit sent me a picture with her new boyfriend. I was positive and happy for her, because we are still really good friends at this point.
But, I messed up for taking too long to just commit and talk to her about how I feel. Is it worth telling her how I've felt, or just kind of wait it out? Not sure how long this relationship may be. I'll learn from my mistakes no doubt, and I'd imagine I should wait out this relationship so that I do not hurt what they have. The question is how long do I wait to tell her when/if they split?
no, dont "tell her how you feel". But you should have asked her out/made a move a while ago, yes
Don't hurt yourself anymore anon, I think you should move on
Move on. Women -always- sense the intention behind your words or actions. Most likely she already knows you caught the feels for her.
You don't want to be the guy that's sitting around waiting for her to be single again before you try to muster up the courage that you didn't have the first time. Her relationship could last for years for all you know. Stay friends with her but just accept that the girlfriend boat already sailed
