I'm in a similar boat. I'll tell you this though, get a job that makes cash and do arts on the side. Have something to fall back on. Unless you're deep into the arts in which case go for it.

>>18584910
I've thought about potentially being an art teacher but I've heard it can be hard to find a job as a teacher unless you teach STEM.

if youre asking this, you shouldnt even be in school desu
just take your basics these first two years and decide then, dont sweat it
Pursue your interests in the interim and talk to professors/professionals in their respective fields and decide if it's something you want to do, youll end up with a general idea of what you like and things you'd hate to do

>but they seem to be paid poorly
if youre going for 'making big bucks straight out of college', youre also doing it wrong, youre going to hate yourself for the rest of your life
Not that it cant be achieved, but plan accordingly and dont fuck yourself by majoring in something that you dont love/wont help you achieve your end goal
Be smart about it and truly decide what is important for you in terms of what you want in your future

My best friend is a teacher in junior high, and although he might not be making the big bucks, he's fucking happier than most of us, gets school day vacations, has his own home and genuinely loves his job (sans state testing curriculum)

Attempt suicide, fail and you'll stop caring about anything

chop your dick off

Confidence is a meme.

>This dude is ok

You can't make him like you, he resents you because you're dating her instead of him.

>>18584815
Eh thought about that, like the way he always makes eye contact with her and never with me, even when we're sitting right next to each other

Thing is, he is doing parties and stuff and I'm not invited to some of those

>Girlfriend's "best friend"
>a dude
>does not like you
>makes eye contact with her and not you
Do you seriously have to ask why?

Same situation here, OP. I'm 18 and I have friends who talk about having experiences with girls and shit, and I always just sit quietly trying to avoid having them ask me anything.

I don't have any "real" friends either, just some people I game with and maybe hang out with sometimes.

I also think that ill never quite get over the fact that I've missed out on young love. Having some dumb thing with a girl while you're both trying to figure shit out and experiencing everything for the first time with each other. I always see it in movies and shows, and it makes me sad because ive never had it and its too late for me now. I see pretty girls all the time and they just make me angry because I feel that ill never get one and ill miss out even more.

>>18584827
Yeah, you put my thoughts into words for me.
I'm 18, don't even have any friends who are girls, yet alone girl friends.

The only two friends I keep into contact with never want to hang out. They are always too lazy or don't want to do anything more than just play video games.

The worst part is, I miss being in school, I miss the people I saw every day and I miss the opportunities I never took.

My life until now feels like it all took place in my fucking room

>I feel like I've WASTED my life so far.
You likely have wasted a lot of time and you will waste it many many times again. This thread is likely waste of your time to. But that's ok. You have unimaginable amounts of time. It's completely normal to waste it.

>I am depressed, alone and stressed.
These are things you can work to fix eventually. Not everything has to be perfect now.

>I'm also insanely afraid of death.
How long do you think you should live so you wouldn't be afraid of death? I bet even if you had hundreds and hundreds of years to come you still would fear at least one day.

Think about this in another way: You could see not-being as the default state of things and living as something extra you get to have for awhile.

If someone came up to you and told you could go to live to a greatest house you can think of and have the greatest vidyas and vidya accessories there all expenses covered BUT you could only be there a week would you be sad that the time you have is too short or would you be happy you could have it at all? In the same way no one ever claimed life was going to last forever.

Lol you are an idiot.
You are being used as a sugar daddy and you do not even realize it.
Stop buying her shit if you do not think she deserves it, see how she reacts.

>>18584776
Look, if you are paying for all her shit and she doesnt show thats she is graceful for the life you are providing, should you be really living with a person like that? Especially if she isnt family and just a 20 years old girl. You are a fucking catch if you do all the things you say you do. You are obviously tired of the relationship and the depression she has doesnt justify staying with her.

>>18584776
I've been on a similar boat mate.

Please do your best to get out of it, anon. It's a toxic situation that will only build up. I can't say that i know what you're going through because i'm not OP, but know that some anon cares for your well being.

Why are you worried about his dick size?
Is he not satisfying you?

I'm completely satisfied with his size, like I said I almost prefer a little less length but I was only curious about where he was compared to all the other guys.

>>18584773
I hate NY, but i digress.

Do whatever. If his dick is not pleasing you, buy him a pump. Rank shouldn't matter if you love him.

Someone can always track you regardless of where you are, the dark web is like playing Russian roulette when you hookup with a random hooker, you never know if you might catch something. If you were to go on I'd recommend a public place with a lot of computer activity and I would not recommend using your personal computer for your own safety.

I think the fact you're asking these types of questions on /adv/ says it all. You're too uneducated on internet security and computers to be toying with things such as the dark web. Even if you think you know lots and researched a lot, there's still going to be things you're missing, holes that hackers and governments have tabs on. I mean if it's just lurking the surface of the dark web you want to do, there's really little risk. But obviously the fact you're asking about virtual machines and tails means you're probably more interested in actually cross the line into the partaking of the illegal side of things. In that case the only advice I can give you is to really study. Can't stress that enough. Learn about every facet in depth. Learn the risks. One mistake could result you in jail. My only other advice: don't buy anything. But if you do, you better know what the hell you're doing.

There's so much hype about the dark web but it's honestly pretty Bullshit. Most of the stuff on there you have to pay a shit ton of money in bitcoins to access and the rest of it is by invitation only. Save yourself the stress and time for the shitty disappointment.

Why do you want to stop?

>>18584743
Can't help but feel shame after every session, and I've always been a big Christian to boot.

>>18584744
Just keep yourself busy enough so you don't have time to

>>18584727
>The degree is just token and not real knowledge
Most degrees are. The main point is to learn skills that you can then apply in the real world.

Would you suggest going a different path entirely? May not be that simple because I'm financially dependent on parents who will have their own way.

>>18584741
Are you actually interested in your major? If you're not sure, think about why you are studying what you're studying

>>18584664
slowly introduce your fetish jokingly in conversations when you have an opportunity and go from there

How would I do that jokingly? Like, Could You Give Me Some Tips On Convo Starters, Or jokes to make or something? I feel really anxious when dealing with these things..

>>18584664

How did you find yourself in that situation to begin with?

>>18584666
Well, i went to a party and she just started flirting with me. I was drunk and so was she , next thing we knew, we had drunk sex.
The thing is i dont take her seriously, i just want to have a good time but i dont want to hurt her feeling, so should i just explain my situation?

Sorry about my grammar, im drunk and its not my first language.

>>18584685
I'd say yes, being honest and up-front about the relationship is the quickest and easiest way to straighten things out. If you dance around the issue, you'll just end up stuck in a dead relationship even longer. And during that time, who knows how many opportunities you miss to find someone you actually DO like and find attractive.

So tell her what's really on your mind. She'll either understand, or you'll be eligible for a trade-up. Either way, you win.

>Nazi
>right wing
kek

That person is not your friend, if they were then they wouldn't have set you up with someone who is completely incompatible with you.

>>18584654
stop being an offensive nazi then. You'll have to eventually if you don't want to ruin your life, you might as well get started now

Permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Can't get a job, chasing a near worthless degree for a career that probably won't get me anywhere and a Virgin with no hope in sight

>>18584648
>can't get a job
there are simple changes you can apply right now to improve your chances. I am pretty sure you don't get a job because your approach is not clever enough, not that you lack achievements.

>chasing a near worthless degree for a career that probably won't get me anywhere
what's that?

>Virgin with no hope in sight
this is overrated and nobody gives a shit when you mature outside of HS or college freshman year, but if you are that obsessed about virginity, go get a hooker or something, it's not that hard

>>18584589

and nothing of value was lost.

btw, even if OP doesn't come back, just actually typing out the question or asking aloud can still help people develop an answer if they never spelled out the question before.

>>18584605
this is a good perspective, and I am happy that for some people, putting their problem in actual words is enough. I don't wanna sound pretentious, that I must absolutely get a (you) every time, I am just rather annoyed that I have no way of telling if some OP's only stick around for 5 minutes then close tab or they quietly lurk their own thread but don't respond later.

>>18584589
maybe your advice's shit little man
