I argue a lot with parents because I have bad "attitude", that's because I do the shit they ask me to do, but not in the attitude they want.

I never said no, because I get badly punished if I do so. I have no other option but obey and follow orders. It isn't hard for me to follow orders, but following orders and then trying to satisfy someone's expectation about my mood fucking annoys me.

I have some other shit than family, I have a life, school, job and shit to do and think about, if you tell me to go for milk at 11 p.m. i'll do it, don't expect a happy clown face while doing it.

Now i'm in a shitstorm, just got a "I will cut off support for you, food, internet and rides to school and job" thanks to me being "grumpy" while parking some cars at 11:30 p.m. after falling asleep.

I'm fucking tired of being called selfish, useless, ungrateful and unhelpful while all my friends and coworkers recognize me for all the opposite. I actively try to stay away from my family and to be honest this shit clogs me and really makes me think about shooting up loads of heroin to OD or just eat a bullet.

I can't move, shitty payment, half shift job and in college atm so I have to deal with them for a while if I want to have food and shelter.

The house I live in is being sold come January. The company I work for is also moving business elsewhere. In the same month. I may still be able to work there. If not, I will have to figure that part out later.

My main concern for the time being is a living situation. After looking at the prices of living spaces, I got an idea, and I can't be the first to have had it.

What is the feasibility of not having a living space at all? I can imagine saving about a grand each month.

To accomplish this,
>I could do my showering at the gym.
>Get an PO box for my mail. I suppose banks are the only ones that’d have issue with that.
>Lots of places to potentially rest my head, some safer than others. I own a car I could do my sleeping in.
>As for food, I have all the necessary utilities to cook my food at my place of employment, including a fridge. I can even use my desk space for personal business and even gaming after hours. The boss wouldn't mind. I have all the security credentials to come and go as I please, and I've done so on many a weekend in order to study.
>As for all the shit I own, I could just rent a storage unit.

It’s a crazy idea, but one I keep chewing on. Convincing my family that I want to do my own thing is going to be the tough part.

Thoughts? What does /adv/ think of such a lifestyle choice? Have any of you considered a classier form of homelessness?

Anyone familiar with this rash? This is my inner thigh right below my groin. It itches and has been here visiting for over 2 weeks now. Jock itch?

>run into gorgeous grad student at school weekly-ish for a little under a month
>she flirts with me very enthusiastically
>exchange numbers
>suggest coffee via text and she says "Sure!"
>propose a day
>three days later she hasn't replied

Should I just drop this? I feel like anything I say now will seem needy.

Other info:

She wasn't very flirty the day we exchanged numbers, but she was telling me how sick/exhausted she was of her TAship and exams were about to start, so I chalked it up to that.

I didn't text her until the end of the exam period, about a week after we exchanged numbers. Probably my bad there.. I thought I was being considerate since she was so busy.

Her response time was pretty slow before I asked her out (20m to 2h).

I might have a class with her next semester.

Any medical anons here? My boyfriend has a vasectomy in his previous marriage because he ex wife "injured" him in a domestic fight. It's a touchy topic for him so I can't ask myself, I have tried.

Under what scenario would a vasectomy be a cure for an injury in that region? There's nothing else here but curiousity. I really just want to know without having him dig up painful memories to tell me.

I was bullied and had trouble making friends growing up.

I am now in my mid twenties and only have one friend, and it's online not IRL. I also have acquaintances, but they are not interested in being friends.

Is there a way to develop social skills now? A book or something? I'm very lonely.

I used to think about suicide as a teen, but now I fantasize about throwing my life in the garbage and becoming a bum. So, there's a quick glimpse of what my "mental health" is like.

I think it's time to pull an all-nighter. I woke up at 2:00PM today, and I have shit to do tomorrow. After an all-nighter, I either succumb to sleepiness, or I become mentally unwell. I get stuck thinking about metaphysics and how all of my ex girlfriends were bitches.

I don't want to think about that shit all day. Can you guys please give me advice on how to survive this all-nighter?

I am 25 years old and finally realizing that I dont think I have ever had TRUE friends. I always see in the movies and stuff about friends that would go out of there way to help a friend in need, loan them money, basically anything to help out.

I have known my "friends" since 3rd grade. We dont talk like normal people, I almost feel like I am their punching bag. They call me names and treat me badly. I almost feel like they hang around me out of obligation just cus we have known each other so long. If I had a problem come up, they would never be there to help. They would probably laugh at me and not speak to me for awhile.

Point is, I dont think I have ever had a real friendship. Never had someone speak to me like a normal person. I feel like its too late to find friends like this. Should I tell them how I feel? I honestly feel like if I did this, I would be even more of a laughing stock.

>have allergic asthma
>start new job teaching music lessons
>teach for 3 hours in a private room
>air conditioning comes in the building
>notice it smells a bit like mold
>ignore it
>go home
>have extreme asthma for 2 days straight
>take every medicine known to man

Uhhh yeah I don't know what to do. I have been working at this job for about a week. I could try closing the air-vent in my room, but I have a feeling I won't be able to fix this problem. Some of the rooms in the building smell a lot like mold.

Should I quit?

So, my girlfriend and I want to take LSD, but we have no idea what to do. Her friend has some experience and will be there to help us through, but we still have some fears involving bad trips, overdosing or "not coming back" from the trip.

Are there any tips for a first time with such drug?

A little backstory here, Im 32yo, freshly divorced, but before that separated for almost two years, about 6 years away from retiring from the army with a sweet ass pension. Have two cars, a house Im renting, and no debts besides monthly bills for rent and utilities, etc. Putting away a decent amount every month in savings.

So, my problem is basically that Im ready to marry again. Ive got some ladies waiting for me, Im just not sure which to choose, and I feel like Im letting feelings get in the way when Im trying to make rational choices this time around.

So, theres a woman, shes 39yo, Korean, sweetest lady I ever met, also smart with a nice body. I just have a lot of trouble getting over the fact that shes older than me. I dated her for some months recently, and she stayed with me for a month in the US. I want kids and I have concerns about her being able to deliver on that. She said she would have some eggs frozen just in case, and agreed, grudgingly and with careful thought to accept donor eggs with my sperm, even if we had some of our own (because I wanted the chance to have white child too).

Option two is a polygamous relationship with a girl from morocco and one here in the USA. Both very nice young ladies, mid 20s, attractive, Ive known em both for a year, and they have known each other for about that time, and are totally cool with it.

Option 3 is a very high maintenance heiress from the phillipines. Shes hot AF, just cute in the face but her body is pretty amazing. Shes crazy, no doubt, insanely jealous, but kind and sweet when she doesn't think im fucking everything with two legs. She does try to be rational but has a lot of trouble with it, reconsiders things she says and does and apologizes to me regularly. So I think shes not a bad person, just has no self control.She offered to buyout my army contract and pension.

You may not believe im faced with these choices, I don't care, but what would you do?
