I think I am reaching breaking point /adv/
Let me start by saying I graduated from uni, landed a job with a big 4 firm in their their forensic team, earn a good salary, family is supporting me
Yet social life wise, it does not exist. I see people dating and shit, and I am unsure how the hell they do it, what am I missing exactly ? What is it so different with me ? I can't help but think I am ugly or something
It doesn't help too that I am foreigner here (in Britain), as I come from a different country with a very different culture and I can't say I enjoy the heavy drinking culture and how almost every social activity involves that
Moving back to my country at this stage would be suicide career wise, hence why I am just being patient but I feel emotionally drained and I am not sure I am able to keep it up anymore
What should I do /adv/ ?

Does the company you work with not operate in your home country?
Assuming its big and influential they might have offices there - and considering you are probably a citizen of that country you wouldn't even need a work visa.
So just try to see if you can file for a transfer?

You have to go back

Not everyone drinks man, look up meet-ups online for interests that you are into and go test the waters.

How do you avoid talking about sex when you're a virgin?
People always talk about how many people they've had sex with and all the crazy shit they do. They inevitably ask me. How do you avoid this?

How do I find out if a person has faked an official government document(a court paper)? I'm in UK, all I found so far is how to detect ID fraud, but that's not what I need.

A better question would be "what's preventing you from doing it"? Life and beauty are all around us. Not all the time, but they are there. Why can't you see it? What's bringing you down?

A girl I have BDSM sex with and know basically nothing about invited me to a party she's having with her close friends and boyfriend. I agreed to go because I'm a shithead. How do I act normal for 1 hour around semi-normies?

What do?
I have the chance to get an interview to get a job as a marketing assistant, which is the gateway to my dream job/career. All I have to do is write a short blog post based on what the company does. Easy enough.
The problem is, the company is a charity that helps people with learning difficulties. I've looked through their social media, and their website, and all that shit, and I've realised (not that I didn't know already desu) that I really don't give a shit about it. Like, the only reason I want the job is because it'll help my career prospects, and it's the only company so far that's not said "no" outright. I literally don't care about learning disabilities, or helping people with them. I'd only be taking the job (if offered) to get it on my CV.
So, what do? Should I go for it? I mean, I could do it for a year and then bail/move on to other jobs, but I also don't want to accept it if something better comes along. Plus, I really don't care about the people they're helping, so I'd struggle to really get motivated to do the job. So should I go for it, or knock it on the head?

Hello I am extremely fucking apathetic, about to be 34 and still living at home at my moms house. Not ugly or out of shape or a neckbeard ect. I've had about 10 jobs in my life.
My main problem is motivation to do ANYTHING outside of making sure I don't get fat and making sure I get some sun and socialize.
How the fuck do I get a job again? also my 3 best friends have died of drug overdoses in the last 3 years.
Pls help my life is on the line. I sincerely appreciate it.

Reach out. If you are suicidal, hotlines andactual therapists will be better than shitheads online. 4Chan can't really help you all that much.
That said, if nothing excites you, then try new things. Maybe you'll find something that does.
>>
Just go out and do things. There's honestly no shortcut or magical trick that's going to change it. Discipline means doing things when you're well past the point of caring; You are not disciplined. Just go do it because it needs done and stop using whatever convenient excuse or justification presents itself in a given circumstance. You want a job? Go ask in person at literally every place in town even if you're not qualified or experienced and check back in person every week or two. Word will get around eventually and somebody might hook you up. Change your lifestyle. Go hiking or camping or fishing or learn to paint or learn a language or find some other new hobby. When life's in a rut, break out of the rut and try different things.

Im sorry about your friends. That must be hard.
Alright, this helps me sometimes... It's a little abstract. It's my copy and paste method.
You know that feel when you get really excited about something? Inspiration? Yeah... I copy and paste that emotion from the past to the future. I know that sounds retarded and frankly most of the time I'm not in the mood to do it, but sometimes it does work and I can run with it.
Just try and remember that feel inside your chest bubbling up inside you, excitement, intrigue, and apply it to your current state. More importantly, find that goal (finding a job?) and specifically copy and paste that feel pertaining to that topic. AKA, feel excited and inspired by the idea of job-hunting.
It's a silly method, but that's all I've got for you OP. I have faith in you for not dying already.

Would you consider pedantic and annoying to speak in an educated and grandiloquent manner, while adding short interruptions in order to give more "effect" to your words?

I assume you chose that word because you understand it's meaning, in which case you already answered your own question

>>18612090
Yes. What you are doing right now is pretty pedantic already, I can't imagine I'd tolerate it for long it in person.

How worth is a woman's kiss? Yesterday I kissed by crush for helping her out in work. I am not entirely sure it meant more for her, it definetly meant more for me, but I dont want to give myself false hopes again.

About 10$ from a regular girl.
The worth of sex is 250. Check massage places.

>>18612075
A kiss on the cheek means nothing, unless cheek kissless virgin. And depending on context, making out means nothing unless your hands start to explore her privates.
>>
>>18612075
She kissed you on the cheek? That's just a way to show apreciation, at least in most places worldwide (I assume English is not your first language). Nothing more.

Is there any way to volunteer myself for detainment for the rest of my life? I'm weird to other people and I'm sick of a life that requires social interaction and I am afraid that with all the hatred bubbling inside of me that something bad will happen. I think it's best if I am locked away from everyone but don't want to be in prison with other people because that defeats the purpose in my mind. Is there any way I can request to be put in like one of those bubbles and then they can just feed me and give me pen and paper to write with until I die in 70 years?

The closest you'll get is being voluntarily committed in a psychiatric hospital where you'll be forced to meet with counselors and attend group therapy and other such bullshit every day.

>>18612052
Apply to the Catholic Church for a post as a monk in a contemplative order. You might have to do a bit of gardening and cleaning, but most of the time you can be alone with your pen and paper.
The main gotcha is that you have to pretend to have an invisible friend, but that's not so hard.

I'll be 27 in a month, but my career as a graphic designer has taken me absolutely nowhere. All places keep asking for 35 years or older and only pay around $250/month with freelance job being contractually forbidden.
Having freelance experience under my belt, I've gone for job interviews and the like, but they're always really far away and the salary isn't even enough to pay all bills.
I've been considering going back to school, there are no such thing as Student Loans in my country, and even then I'd be going to my state university since it's cheaper. I think I should become an attorney.
Would you reccomend it, /adv/, or suck it up and continue this aimless direction? Hell, yesterday I went print a few things on big size high quality and the lady there and I talked about this and told me how he's been telling highschoolers to NOT take out path and keep design as a hobby instead instead of career.
TL;DR: Almost 27, jobless, aimless. Am I too old to become a lawyer?

I am a 30 year old man and I have to start my life over. My house costs me roughly 800 a month with utilities and insurances. I have no job history, and no education past high school, no marketable skills.
How do I fix this mess?

What happened ? But first sell the house get an apt and get a job in construction or something similar
>>
>>18612007
I'd rather not say. I can say that I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and I'm trying to right the ship before I waste anymore of my time. I cannot be hired by any trade union or labor work due to my job history, hence why I wrote it as if I had no job history at all.
I don't think it would be wise to sell the one asset I own in favor of paying rent, though. In my area, rent is more than my house payment.

I would like to add that I'm leaning toward crunching everything I can on Khan Academy for 10-14 hours a day over the next few months, then applying to college for something. I'm not good at anything, so I'd have to figure that out later. Does anyone else have experience doing something like this?

So my 22nd is on Monday, and I've come to realize that I like meeting women pretty much any way other than the bars. I spent the ages of 15-17 walking through the Main Street of my town hitting on girls at the bars when I was young and had more luck doing THAT then being 21 and actually trying to talk to these bitches
So the thing is, the place I go, the crowd is generally 26-39 ish older, preppy, middle to lower middle class white suburban types. I have no problem approaching, talking to, flirting, anything with these chicks. It's simply just that a lot of them are rude and crude. Example: two weeks ago I was out and these two chubby chicks were outside. One was really drunk and asked for my cigarette so I gave her the end of it. After that she kept demanding I give her another when I lied and told her I was out (cause she was obnoxious and I was talking to her friend) . This bitch actually said "no cigarette, no talk" to me while I'm trying to talk to her friend
When I do get numbers they don't really go anywhere, people don't respond. I have great luck in pretty much any other context of meeting people, from college parties to grocery stores, so why bars are hard for me is beyond me

You forgot to ask question.
And the answer is clear: social events you hate / bever been before and online dating. Good luck!

I'm a MBA student and I'm currently signed up for 12 credit hours and I'm thinking about signing up for one more class. Is this a dumb idea?
I know that 12 hours is difficult, but is 15 graduate hours suicidal?
A little background: I won't be working during this time and will be home during the day when I'm not in class.
