Is my hobby still autistic if I'm kinda good at it? I only draw cute girls in my spare time in my dorm, should I still hide this? I feel like girls will think I'm a manchild. I haven't even watched anime in years either, I just like drawing qt's.

It's a cool skill to have nevertheless. Girls might ask you to draw them in an anime style or something like that for example, they like that kind of shit and it's a good excuse to make eye contact with them for a while

Anything can be creepy if you do it just to fap. Wood carving is awesome, but if you only make nude women and hide them in your room then you are a weirdo.

Try drawing other stuff too. Expand your horizons.

On Monster.com? Let me be the first to tell you that an insurance sales job is just a step above going door to door selling cutlery. I wouldn't do it unless you're desperate for work and can't find a regular job.

It's pretty much me calling up people to see if they need life insurance.

I want to be a royal marine this year, I'm kinda in need of money but I'm not desperate yet.

Is it ok to fap once every 2-3 days in order to keep your sex drive away?

>>17950822
its okay to do whatever the flying fuck you want with your dick, however often your dick wants you to do it.

This applies to a lot of things in life as long as it doesn't affect other people.
>>
>>17950844

It is a good sex drive repressant right?

I want my sex drive to stay far away

I usually do it at least once or twice a week that's it. Sometimes, I might even skip a week.

Why are escorts so much smarter, chill, and understanding than most women?

I'm not even trying to disparage women here, for once. I just don't think I've ever been able to hold the amount and depths of conversations with women than I can escorts. Nor do have I been able to find women who were as patient and reasonable with you than escorts. I know I'm paying them for this, but god damn it's so foreign, and leagues out of the fields of most girls, that I'm constantly flabbergasted.

>>17950794
OK for one it's because you're paying them to act like that. Two, there's a degree of connection that comes with it. Most escorts see middle aged, depressed men come to them because it's a solace. It's the one place where they can both release their instinctual urges while also having the opportunity to talk about their problems, because they're paying her to listen. An escort won't judge you because of the problems you're talking about; your wife or girlfriend will, on the other hand, because she has nothing to lose since she has that opportunity to meet some other guy and leave you.
>>
>>17950794
You do understand an escort is paid to give a shit for what your saying? They are good at the art of conversation because that is their jobs, make men think they are special and keep coming back for more. Being an escort is more then sex, its creating a desire for their product ( them) Its so you only want them and keep calling them back and wasting money.

>I been able to find women who were as patient and reasonable with you than escorts.

You know you are paying them. You know they have to feign or exaggerate their interest. Yeah you come here to say how nice they are to you. Can you see this is insane? Have I fallen for bait?

Which kind of depression? You feel unhappy? You want to kill youself?
>>
>>17950761
I've been diagnosed with depression in 2013 and couldn't take meds because of other health conditions.

What worked for me was:
>therapy
>support from my loved ones
>talking openly about depression
>volunteering
>travelling
>reading
>working out
>bullet journaling/making lists of things I had to do

Medication is only a start and will only go so far. Then you have to make life changes. It will take a long time, count with at least a year. It's your decision.

I have been working on 2 main goals as of late which I want to achieve, and one of them I worried about not being able to achieve: having an appearance which I'm proud of

I think a large part of my lack of confidence and fear stems from my appearance, and I have been working on it. I have lost 45 pounds in the past 4 months, though I still have at least another 55 to go.


my worry is, when I lose all this weight, what if I still look like crap? I worry that I might have loose skin, or many different things that might not look good. I'm 25 so I am not exactly as young as I used to be, and my hair is falling out already.

Not only am I doing this to have confidence in myself by having an appearance I like, but I also want to be able to have people find me attractive.

I've barely had any sex in my life, and yet there are decent looking people all around me my age that are getting laid. I missed out on my chance for a lot of this while I was younger and I really regret it, so I need to take advantage of this while im still young

I'm just afraid I never will though. I am really worried that I won't be able to have a decent appearance or have a good sex life, or if its too late. And not only that, I just feel excluded and like im missing out, especially since its something I really want

whether these fears are rational or not, they are hampering my progress and make me feel like crap. and when I hear about other people getting laid or just seeing other people my age who look better than me I feel like crap. and this feeling like crap over this issue is taking a toll on me, since I can't concentrate on the present as well, and it just brings down my mood in general and I end up doing a crappier job at work. I am also just constantly regretting not taking more care of my appearance earlier on in my life.

I guess i'm looking for a way to not feel so crappy about this and hope that things can still turn out good for me if I keep trying.

You still have a lot of time to enjoy your life.
Think of it like that - these thin fuckers had it easy for their whole life. They never made any effort to look that way. Now look at you. You actually did something, you try and you actually put a lot of effort into thr way your body looks like. You should be proud of yourself and continue to do so well.

Sup /adv/

I've been with my bf for over 2 years, we are each other first seriously relationship. Over the past month or so I realise that I'm no longer in love and do not want to be with him. He seems very much in love with me.

We're doing exams for the next week then going on a holiday other friends so I know that's when I'm going to do it. How do I approach this?

I live with him and we share the same friend group. I care about him and logistically we're probably going to have to get along after breaking up (I want to, at least).

How do I break up with him in the least hurtful way?

If you're convinced, just do it - be honest and upfront, apologise, leave the house.
Give him some time to get over and don't try to be his friend. Wait for him to make the first move.

OP, feelings chance once you get out of the honeymoon phase.
I'm not absolutely and mindlessly crazy for my boyfriend like I was at the beginning either. But I do love him deeply, I want to devote myself to him and I'm very happy with him.
All relationships have ups and downs, too.
Give yourself some time to think about it, in my opinion.
>>
>>17950739
I've been thinking about this for a while but you're right about the honeymoon phase. I think things are beyond that though, I know things need to change.

I feel suffocated, I feel like I'm expected to be someone else because I'm with him. Sometimes I even feel like I'm his mother.

Im going to give him some space but I feel horrible if he has no idea that this is coming :(
>>
>>17950748
Have you tried talking to him about this?
I don't want to push you to stay in a relationship if you don't want to, but it seems like something that can be worked through.

Maybe give it a try before breaking up.

This is fake. No one talks about themselves like this. If this story is real, then you think like a 14 years-old boy. So my first piece of advice would be changing that.

Post pics. You sound like a really beautiful woman. Confused but beautiful.

How can I find out if one of my friends who I have onetis with but has a boyfriend is hanging out with my friends tonight? My friends wanna hangout but I dont want to go if the girl is there because it'll hurt too much and I won't have a good time at all. I can't just ask if X is coming tonight, I have no idea on how to find out if she is coming or not. I am just leaning towards the safe route and staying home alone tonight.

"Who all is gunna be there?"

They respond. Then ask "where at?"

Then if you then want to back out, come up with some excuse why that place doesn't work like: "no ty, I'm trying to save money"


That way you cover up why you aren't going.
>>
>>17950808
You could just be honest too, if they're your friends they'll understand. I was in this same boat and ended up having to bail, I told them why and it was fine. If they're not asses they'll respect you

Ideas for hobbies that I can talk about/share? (That don't require too much effort to adopt?)

It's not that I don't have hobbies, I have tons. It's just that hobbies I have are hard for small talk/be interesting for other people.

Current hobbies I already have but can't really talk much of
>Art (Can't talk much without boring people, basically like I made this after x hours, done)
>GameDev (Same thing, made this game x hours, try it out, done)
>Study (Learning tons of nutrition, psychology along with my current school subjects, boring)
>Exercise (Jogged here there, did tons of circuits, done)
>Cooking (ex made Kale smoothie, way too healthy for most people to be interested)
>Music (listen to EDM, done)

Sure I could expand on them and talk in detail but that'll just make me sound like a nerd if its not with someone who shares the hobby, it would just confuse/bore people.

>>17950682
protip: keep trying. find someone you CAN talk to this stuff about. there are forums dedicated to niche as fuck interests. it's hard to break past that initial wall of doubt and disinterest, but thats normal. its normal to feel reclusive as the human mind jumps right to fear of judgement.

find an art appreciation forum, or maybe peruse some local museums. same could be said for all of your hobbies.

your problem could also be spreading yourself too thin and trying to be involved with many interests. narrow it down, and see how that works. focus all of your time and effort in to game development, and go full speed. that could lead to more to do with yourself, at the very least. work on a huge project, and try to find cohorts to share the experience with. thats one way to find friends.

Hi guys.
I have this weird "fear" of alcohol. Whenever I'm out with friends I'm always the one who doesn't drink. Same goes for parties etc. There is something inside of me that tells me not to drink for no particular reason. My only guess is the fact that I've never gotten drunk before and I don't know how would it feel. I've never had any problems with alcohol in my family, so that's not the case. Any ideas where that "fear" comes from?
Btw I've revently turned 18 which is a legal drinking age in my country so it's not that either.

Well believe me OP, i have a fear of talking to girls at bars. How silly isn't that?
>>
>>17950732
Talking to girls requires some social skills, sense of humour etc. So it's understandable that one can be afraid of doing it.
But if drinking one shot of vodka is too scary for me it's just kinda weird and makes no sense.
>>
>>17950764
It's a phobia.
The cure is to just do it.

Don't you have her phone? Are you usually flirting on social media?

If both are "no", then move on dude.

I don't have her phone but occasionally flirt late at night over snapchat. I only get to see her for an hour a day but I do talk to her during her time. She leaves me on read 25% of the time but I this is the first girl I got feels for so I want to keep trying

might as well just ask her out. sounds like a no lose scenario

what's my issue? depression?
> making plans stresses me out
> like planning my own stuff
> girlfriend asking me to take a trip for 2 days terryfies me because I will not be able to do what I want for 2 days
> went on tour with my band through europe for a month and it was the best time for everbody but I hated the fact that I had a month planned out ahead
> mondays are the worst when there's something to do for every other day of the week
> love working on stuff alone at home
> love other people and hanging out with them
> absolutely hate making plans to hang out with someone a week ahead

Do I have a mental problem or am I just plain stupid?

How do I present myself a bit more... mature? I'm turning 25 next week and I feel i'm still too much of a manchild. (And I don't mean physically or financially.) People still see me as a cunty college student. Was there anything you did to transform yourself as an "adult"? Any habits you broke for example?

I live in a pretty conservative area with no college in like a 40km radius. So no liberal callboy type of people around here. Guess that's kind of clears things up as in why i'm having this problem. Pretty much a culture shock to comeback after college, but i'm living here around family until I can save up enough to atleast buy or rent a decent house.
>>
>>17950611
Thats too unclear. In which way do people see you as a "cunty college student"?
