All that stuff is much more satisfying after a fairly productive day of getting shit done.

>How do I channel my strong desires to play vidya, watch videos, browse 4chan etc. into productive things like studying, exercising and cleaning
Make a deal with yourself. Have a list of productive things you complete for the day and enjoy vidya to your hearts content after.

>I really want to do them
Completely fine.

>but I understand that my life will go further down the shitter if that's all I end up doing
Yeah duh, you can't neglect your responsibilities. But if you cover all your responsibilities, take care of your health (stop skipping meals), there's no problem doing what you enjoy.

>How do I fix myself?
First of all your not broken. Just do more productive things so when you do play vidya etc. you don't feel so guilty. Anyone is going to feel like a piece of shit if they're on the computer all day, not eating, letting their hygiene go, and sitting in a dirty smelly room.

>>18653526
I was about in the same situation.

I started to learn blender/3d modelling/graphic design, and even Unreal Engine 4, (blender and UE4 are totally free, and there are lots of YT tutorials). All of these things are computer-vidya-related and are productive in a certain way, if you practice and never stop learning new stuff in the computer, you could even start to offer your services and get a payment. There are tons of productive stuff that you can do on a computer, and they aren't necessarily boring office shit.

Learn to do productive hobbies that are related to your interests (vidya etc) and you'll feel less guilty.

>don't lie in your bed for any reason but sleep/masturbation/sex
>do not use screens for preferably an hour, at least half an hour before going to bed
>when you can't sleep, get up after at most fifteen minutes, do something quiet (like reading) then head back to bed, don't lie there while becoming more awake again

Also look up "sleep hygiene" for related tips. If you are legitimately an insomniac, visit a doctor for some pills and keep your sleep hygiene in check.

You don't, your body tells you when it wants to sleep.

If you want to set up a routine though, you need to get into a habit of getting up at the same time and going to bed at the same time every day.

wait til you're tired, make a note of the time in your head, then go to sleep without setting an alarm clock. Then when you wake up, take note of how much sleep you needed to wake up naturally -- this is how much sleep you naturally need.

If it's 8 hours, and you want to be up at 7:30am each morning, you need to be in bed by 11:30pm everyday. Force yourself up at 7:30am the next day if need be until your body establishes a pattern.

What do you do, and why do you dread it?

Also, give yourself time to adapt to a new routine.

You feel incompetent. You think you don't know what you are doing because this is a new environment to you. Keep at it, you will gain confidence with more experience.

Is it that heavy feeling of dread knowing that you have to go and do something for X number of hours? I get that a lot. To compensate, I pretty much wake up at the last second possible, just to get it out of the way as soon as possible, and conserve my energy for afterwards.

You're supposed to dance, and move to the beat.

It's called having fun.

>>18653509
Sort of this >>18653512

But if you made it that far to be with her in private, you are now supposted to sit very close to her and cuddle her, kiss her, grope her, smile like retard and look into her eyes. Do you even sex her up bro?

>>18653512
This. If you didn't react at all she was probably hoping that you'd laugh or join her being silly. It's not impossible that she was flirting but it's difficult to tell without having been present, your description in itself doesn't scream sexual come on.

>>18653499
Send her a photos of your cock

>>18653499
Tell her you don't have one.

Gauge her reaction then

Decide from there

>>18653499
Ask her on date dingus. And tell her truth. You dont have to lose anything by telling truth. It is another topic to talk about
>why have i given up on snap

>>18653494
Can you skip the flea bath treatment and use flea medicine like Frontline or Advantage?

>>18653494
Okay so, you basically have 2 options.
Option one: start the kitter on advantix and keep the environment she lives in immaculate for 3 months (length of a flea's life cycle)
Option two: take her to the vet and have them give it a flea bath. They'll also have advantix that'll they'll stress you buy and use on a monthly basis, all year.
Whatever you do, don't try to medicate your cat. They have extremely sensitive metabolic functions and can be very badly injured or die from any number of medications. Giving her stuff you don't know about will probably just lead to an emergency clinic visit and huge bills. A clinic visit to get advantix and a bath will cost you 100 bucks tops.

>>18653554
This. It works great.

>>18653486
If you wash your face twice daily, it should go away. Also use a warm washcloth. That's what helped me get my acne under control.

>>18653486
Don't touch your face and wash it at least twice a day

Drink a SHIT TON of water everyday.
Get 8 hours of sleep every night
Wash your face twice a day
Place a clean towel over your pillow case every other night

I've always had it, these steps greatly reduced it after a couple months and medication takes can of the rest.

No, you shit sucker.

No, it isn't.

>anime
>acceptable

Never.

Their partnerships don't mean anything. Normies just do that for attention.

You choose to hold yourself to the arbitrary standards you beat yourself up with. You choose to view yourself as inferior.

Are teenage single mums "superior" to you?

Are prostitutes who had sex as early as 13 "superior" to you?

Sex and relationships don't = superior.

>>18653470

>Are teenage single mums "superior" to you?

Yes, I always get a pang of jealousy when I encounter them

>Are prostitutes who had sex as early as 13 "superior" to you?

Still feel an incredible amount of envy and self hatred when I hear stories like that

how does it matter is it pathetic or not, I thought the point was to hide

>>18653454
I mean is it excessive to do?
Does anyone else here do it?

Having multiple accounts is fine?

I usually have a "professional" account, and just a casual account for pretty much everything. Entirely different emails and providers, as well.

It's genetics and diet, but also subjective.

There was a study where they found that men who ate a lot of vegetables had better BO as judged by women.

Onion and garlic will make your BO smell oniony and garlicy so avoid (unless that's your thing)

Another important point: we're attracted to smells that are very different to our own because it indicates that the person has a different immune system. You want to breed with someone with a very different immune system because it's kind of like the equivalent of giving your children a larger "arsenal" to inherit, if that makes sense. The point is, there's no universal "nice" body odor, it depends on your immune system.

Shower daily and use deodorant.

>>18653476
This one is correct, but some things will make you smell less pleasant. Smoking is an obvious factor but a lot of alcohol, red meat and spicy food can also make especially your bodily fluids bitter. Keeping yourself well hydrated makes the smell of your sweat etc milder.

>>18653434
Just keep pepper spray / a knife with you, faggot

>>18653434
Where you live at? I want to fight yo ass and I need a new phone.

>>18653440
Usually the more someone is aggressive in daily life the more insecure they are.
Join a boxing club or something, never let anyone intimidate you because it'll just get worse as you get older. 169lbs is nothing, get to a solid 185lb and you'll be fine

Your girlfriend could have accepted the $18/hr position and just keot searching for better jobs and left when she got a better job,

A better response would have been:

"How do you feel about it all?"

Instead, you pissed on her parade straight away. It's one thing to give you opinion when you're asked for it, but this is her life and her job.

>>18653406
:( you're right.

>>18653394
sorry man you're cucked, plain and simple. Who in their right mind would go to a crowded place full of drunk/stoned retards listening to ear busting music drinking overly priced awful tasting alcohol if they weren't at the very least pulled in by the prospect of potentially getting laid.

100% cucked.

Honestly any time I see someone write out cucked I only imagine some scrawny little kid who owns a MAGA hat and spends his free time playing overwatch and dota.

In conclusion, you're cucked bro. She's probably taking a few cocks as we speak.

Pic related, that's her outfit she's wearing 100%.

It depends. If you're sure about your field of choice, willing to work hard to succeed and to make the extra effort to get internships and practical experience, then yes, college is a good option. If you really just want a job, regular pay within a reasonable time limit and think you'd might be okay with doing one job for the reat of your life, then go trade. With academic fields and studies you won't automatically get a job or be any sort of professional, but college degrees can be quite versatile depending on what experience you combine with it. You need to search for your chosen career harder. Whereas trades will get you a job, but one job only and usually not as good monies as in academic fields.

As a counterpoint: I know you said you live in Ireland, so my input here may be just about worthless, but here in the states, unless you are absolutely certain you know you want to do wildlife biology (or more generally, something academic), you're probably better off picking up a trade. Here in the states, we are quite lacking in tradesmen, and I'm certain carpentry is up there.

If I wasn't going to do what I'm going to do, I'd probably try for being a welder or such myself.

It depends. Right now I am a first year electrical apprentice who is planning on going back to school. I already have an associate's, and I'm thinking about transferring my credits into a finance or accounting major.

Personally, I am demoralized. Trades have fucked up the health of the journeyman I work with, and I keep hearing that getting a degree is far better than grinding out a life in manual labor.

I enjoy working with my hands, but damn this shit is boring. I just can't escape the feeling that I am not living up to my full potential.
