Whenever I go out, I get stares from girls CONSTANTLY who are with their boyfriends/husbands.

Their husbands get hysterically angry and sometimes grab their lady aside like it's a dog.

I'm a quiet person and I struggle meeting women, most shy away and avoid me, but I find this dynamic from couples perplexing

Can someone help fix this into a positive situation?

So my dad passed away on the 16th this month. He was a strong and athletic guy for his age. On the 11th, he was helping my little sister with cooking. And by the 16th, he was taking his last breaths. I guess I'm still emotionally shellshocked at the moment. Any decent advice for moving on in the grieving process? Thanks.

I really ought to do great things in my life, but achievement requires some kind of dewy-eyed optimism and the more I hear things like 'military-grade encryption' or 'abortion rights' or 'unregistered ammunition' the less I want to be part of this world and its future. How can I sustain myself while tucked in a hole somewhere hoping things implode and get better afterwards?

Whenever I try to go somewhere to connect with people, start a class, anything social, the first meeting is always the best and then I keep feeling more and more alienated from everyone.

Will I always feel so lonely?
I've tried everything people say that helps, pretending to like social situations, getting to know the person and be curious about their interests and life, share my life and problems, physical touch.
Everything feels fake and unfulfilling.

Whats wrong with me, is it just an autistic, your brain is fucked thing?

How do you fix the feeling of being lonely around others? I used to blame others for this feeling, but even when the people around me are cool, I still feel very alone.

Maybe the cause of this is that lately my mom and my (maybe former) best friend sort of betrayed me. My best friend told his father to stop buying me food and gifts because I was "an ingrate" for being hostile towards incel Nazi weebism, and my mom refused to let me hang out with her in order to take a break from the fucking isolation.

I don't think this is fair. I'm paying for school myself, so my mom ought to at least eat dinner with me now and again. And, I was helping his father with some things, so I don't see how my food supply getting cut off would be justice or some shit.

They round-about apologized when I presented it to them this was, so I certainly do not hate them. I just don't know if I should be close to them.

On the non-platonic side of things, every woman I have been with has tried to play a horrible trick, be it cheating on me with the whole town, trying to cuck me with some "sugar daddy," or trying to keep me a secret because my social status was too low for her peers' approval.

Maybe I feel alone because it seems like nobody is trustworthy. The two guys I'm hanging out with lately seem to be very kind and well-intended people, but one of them is seriously womanizing, and the other is constantly being tricked by fake yoga gurus into believing total nonsense.

This sounds like "woe is me," but I don't even think my situation is as bad as those who have been asdaulted or those who grow up in bad areas.

I just don't know if humanity as good as we make it out to be. How do I end this loneliness? I can't get pets at the moment. Am I a good person? Maybe I'm just mediocre.

How do you get a guy to like you in a romantic way?

I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about how to make a guy fall for you

I'm 36...a full r9k wagecuck but I have a problem. I've tweeted to a lady nurse who's 35 but looks 25 at most for about 4 years.

I can't stop thinking about her but she has made it very clear the she doesn't want friends, turns down doctors on a regular basis, and doesn't want children cause of "bipolar genes."

I'm still torturing myself with being a pathetic orbiter. I can't tweeting to her cause she's the only interaction I have outside of work often for 1-2 months cause I live alone and have no friends. She gives me some positive attention cause she's polite but I need to stop...I need to give up on the dreams cause love isn't real.

I know I'm making myself unhappy by having desires that my only path is to go full monk mode into productive work.

I hate the fact that I adore women or at least my idea what they are that I have built up...but I know I have to stop.

How I stop before I go crazy?

so, is there any way for one to deduce whether or not they're clinically depressed? i've hated myself for the past few years, but i've never felt the urge to hurt myself. i used to huff occasionally until one day i crashed for nearly an hour and woke up bleeding, almost getting caught. but that's the extent of any self-destructive behavior i've engaged in, aside from putting myself down. so, am i just being a bitch, or might there be some chemical imbalance that can be fixed? cause the way i see it, i could live with being a shitty person, but if there's something i could take to get better, i'm game. seems like im beyond any "keep your chin up, sport" type stuff at least

I applied for engineering and business schools.

I got accepted into mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, and electrical engineering.

I was also accepted into Business Management.

My ultimate goal with a career is to have a high salary, preferably without heavy manual labor.

Can anyone shed some light on what Engineering discipline is more likely for success overall?

How much physical labor is in Engineering?

Any Business Management opinions/advice

So my parents cook Chinese dishes pretty much everyday.

On Tuesday and Wednesdays, I come home around 8:30pm, and that's when I start eating. My family usually starts eating at like 7 and finishes by 7:30. When I come home late, my parents portion some dishes for me and usually covers it with a lid or plastic wrap or something.

For some reason, when I come home late, althoughI haven't eaten, I just don't feel like eating that food. I can eat anything else all right, but just not that. To be honest my mom is a pretty bad cook, but by the time I start eating it's really bland. If I eat at the usual time, I can pretty much eat until I'm full. When I come home late, I can eat, but I don't want to eat even though I know I could.

Help me out here /adv/, I need my nutrients if I wanna grow into a big strong boy. What do I do?

I graduated high school last year and took some university courses for a semester before dropping out. Now I've been working and was planning to go back to university and study a program and graduate and get a diploma and all that, but I became unsure during the summer. I'm really not that interested in studying. I was going to study engineering but I have no real interest in math or simulation or whatever.

I realized I want to do fun things while I'm still young, I can start college at 21 or 23 or any other time but of course it has drawbacks. I will be older than most students and will miss out on work experience compared to others my age. I'm in a European country so there are still many people who wait until that age before they start studying.

What I really wanna do is surf, sail, travel and ski. I was thinking a working holiday in Australia would be perfect. I could live in towns near the sea, surf and enjoy nice weather while the weather over here in northern Europe would be freezing. I could travel around and meet people and work shitty jobs and see things. I could also use this time to figure out what I wanna do/study afterwards.

I'm having a really hard time deciding if I should go to university now, study a couple of years and then take a gap year and work and travel or if I should do it now and go to uni next year or if I shouldn't do it at all and just wait until I have a real job to go on vacations. What is your advice?

I want to become a history professor at an American University and specialize in Western History, that's American, Canadian, European (including East Europe and Russia, but not including Turkey), Latin American, and Australian history, all the way back to the times of the Ancient Greeks. But for that, I'll need a PhD or something like that. Will I have to painstakingly endure at least 4 years of SJW bullshit being shoved down my throat?

Did listening to trippy Pink Floyd while staring at the sky rolling last during long car rides as a toddler influence my psyche? I'm depressed and legally Asperger.
