So I have heard that strings will last longer if you boil them. Well I put the thing in a nice big 50 gallon metal drum I found and boiled it, but now the guitar is all soggy and shit. It can't stay in tune and when I play it has this dark spongy tonal quality to it.
What do I do now?
Get a job writing fiction.
How do I send this girl in my major my class schedule and ask if we have any classes together without sounding like a fucking robot?
>>18612436
depends. why are you doing this? what is your current relationship to this girl?
>>18612436
Why would you do that?
>>18612436
yeah that's not possible unless you guys are already acquaintances.
How do you maintain friendships from 4chan? Everyone I've added on Skype/Kik aside from one person weirds me out from the start but I don't want to be an asshole and block them.
If they are 4chan you should assume they are weird to begin with
The whole point of 4chan is that it is fucking ANONYMOUS. Unless you are very very strange, you just don't tell anybody who you really are. This means you can block anybody with zero consequences.
Did you foolishly use your real name?
>>18612448
No but I still feel guilty about blocking them for some reason.
What would a therapist do or say to someone who feels like everything is disappointing and nothing is worth doing. From video games and leisure activities to productive things. Anyone with experience with therapists/psychologists? What would be there advice or actions?
>>18612373
Supplement your therapy sessions with a visit with a psychiatrist.
>>18612373
long term counseling
>>18612373
My therapist would say "So how does it make you feel?" and take the conversation from there, looking at how you feel and why you feel that. And if you feel nothing, looking at that too.
They're persistent, those therapists, they have a question for everything. Mostly hard questions too.
I'm 23 and I'm trying to leave my job as a waiter and get a "real profession" job. I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to computers/business and I do have a cert in IT. I also have some interview lined up so I might be set (hopefully).
The problem is that if I do so how manage to get the job, I'm scared I will not be able to do well and work well with others. I have only had jobs where I worked with immature high school kids and college drop outs, so working with mature serious adults seem intimating for some reason.
How do I get over this fear?
How will I connect with them?
Is the whole fake it till you make it true in the professional world?
My analogy to the situation I'm currently in is that of an abused dog snapping at people that try to pet him.
I've been hurt by most people I loved in unforgivable ways, this has lead me to have a general distrust of people and being always irritated.
When people interact with me, I'm most of the time not in the mood so I snap at them as my first reaction. Is not that I want to snap at people or to be unpleasent on purpoise but I just react like this, then when I think of what I've done I feel terrible.
I've become angry and vindictive. I want to change but I don't act like this wanting to do so, is just a reaction. How can I get over this, my emotions rule me.
>>18612326
What do you consider unforgivable ways?
>>18612326
Try to relax, pick up so fun activity and meet people there, while having fun. If you feel the anger building up, try to stop yourself from snapping at those that don't deserve it.
>>18612326
I know someone like this, he usually follows up saying or doing something nice afterwards so I don't mind. I accept that he has a problem and don't hold it against him. I don't think most people are like me though.
Is it viable to "hire" a prostitute? Tell your experiences, if you ever done that.
I'm not ugly, but i cannot have any matches on Tinder, when I do it doesn't go anywhere. I don't have friends, so hanging out sucks. Last time I tried something with a girl it didn't went anywhere, not even friendship. I'm probably going mad because of the lack of sex and I don't know what to do.
>>18612325
>I'm probably going mad because of the lack of sex and I don't know what to do.
Fap. The lack of human connection is also driving you mad. Make some frineds and you'll feela bit better. THen you can keep working from there.
>>18612340
I do that once or twice a day, sadly.
But yeah, you're right, lack of human connection might be the actual problem. Thanks anon
Hi adv
Did i make the right choice? I stopped school after getting a college it degree. I didnt find work for some time but ended up working in an export import company. But the work circumstances were terrible ( multiple people quit/are quitting )
I have some experience to get the same kind of job somewhere else. But i chose to go to university else. I thought of doing uni and mixing it with work instead ( evening shifts and weekend shifts are really common in this branch ). Considering i dont make any university debt because its basically almost free. Did i make the right choise? Im 22 btw.
>>18612311
Do you live by yourself? Half shift might not be enough to support yourself. But if you live with parents, then do whatever you want man.
Should I supplement with it? I read that it increases prostate cancer by 80% but has no evidence of benefits. What do you guys think?
>>18612298
I take it along with vitamin f for my mood, gonna have to google that prostate cancer stuff though. Scary
where the fuck did you read that shit? definutely not true. First go get your blood tested see what micro/macro elements you need and then go buy food suplements/vitamins. No need to buy all shit internet sugests, ask doctor first

Didn't know what to do this weekend, looked at meetup and so many profiles looked unappealing so I'm wondering if anyone's tried it and didn't end up in an awkward situation.
>>18612285
I was all over meetup for awhile. stop looking at the 'profiles' and just look at the events. what do you like? find one and just go. worst case scenario you wasted a few hours you woulda just wasted at home. nothing to lose.
>>18612289
On weekends I like going to clubs but it sucks doing it alone. My board game group disbanded and I know the meeting strangers online for d&d will likely involve huge sweaty neets and if I wanted that I'd just go to a comic book store gaming event
>>18612344
look, you can write off all opportunities by rationalizing 'OH EVERYONE THERE WILL BE A SWEATY NEET EXCEPT FOR ME' or you can just stop being a whiny cunt and go try it out.
again, worst case scenario you lose a few hours of your life, a few hours you would have spent at home doing nothing.
make a choice, but dont be stupid enough to say 'THERE WILL ONLY BE SWEATY NEETS THERE'
So I already bought the Nioxin Shampoo & Conditioner Twin Pack off Amazon, but then I noticed that there is also a scalp treatment sytem, apparently you apply it to your hair without washing it off. Do I also need to buy this?
>>18612263
this is what I originally bought
Please help. I have amnesia in North Bend, WA and I'm in the library and I have no food, money, ID, and/or way to get help. I'm apparently being harassed by a bunch of weird space demons. Please help. I just need something to eat and a place to stay. If I could just find my ID, I'd be able to work.
Could someone please get me a real ID with the name Simon Kerouac? I'll take any birthday, all other details are irrelevant. I'll accept the ID as legal as long as it will function legally. SOS, please help me.
>>18612249
Would be pleased to help, but the no money thing is a problem. You have to pay.
How do I start writting about philosophy?
Any advise from writters here?
>>18612227
Star by reading philosophy. You gotta know about the previous work in your area of study.
Then, take part in the community. I don't really know how. I assume using Uni as a way to establish contact with budding philosophers.
And then... well, just write about whatever comes up after absorbing this knowledge and exchanging ideas with like-minded people.
read good philosophers, dont go for nietche and copying his nihilistic shit. decide what is interesting for you life, politics, government or other shit, do some google for authors and read few most known to get general idea, later write your own
>>18612227
Read other philosophers, critique or expand upon their ideas. Whatever you do, dont be an obscurantist or I will kick your ass
i feel like everytime i get close to my good friends i end up hurting them. i start to get more rude and because of this i dont really talk much to them anymore. also, i start to get annoyed by minor things that they do. things that shouldnt even bug me.
op here, realized i didnt really phrase this as a question. is there anything that i can do to improve my situation and stop hurting myself and my friends?
>>18612217
>>18612229
thanks anon. i dont think that i could change myself anyway
Right, so I have social anxiety problems and I don't have many friends. Low self esteem is also an issue. Every time I talk to people I just feel like I'm bothering them and annoying them, even if that isn't the case.
What can I do to meet people in general? How should I go about changing my way of thinking. I'm sad, scared of the future and don't know what to do.
Thaks for reading. <3
How old are you, and do you have a job?
