/adv/, I need to ask you something.
I feel fundamentally wrong as a person, I don't feel like myself anymore, I hate everything that I do but I also love doing it, but I do it for the sake of feeling like I belong. I feel this sheer disconnect from reality and that I am just a persona of a human pretending to be someone, that I use things like my interests to supplement and replace my personality, rather than actually having one.
Im having a crisis right now and I don't know how I feel or what do to about any of it.
So I've been in a very lowkey relationship for about a month and im leaving for college soon, am I supposed to end it or attempt a ldr?
I am a guy 28, virgin
I always felt like I was going to meet somebody special and share my life with her.
but all women my age have been around, and I have a strong aversion against that.
I am so disgusted when I find out in dating that she has been around that it ruins my love for her.
I think society is fucked up.
How do I deal with this?
In the past, everybody waited until marriage.
nowadays everybody has been around.
should I just "get over it" and get cucked by a feminist whore who uses me for financial stability and as an emotional tampon.
or should I continue to live the rest of my life alone, and occasionally use women for sex.
jkys
losing your virginity by 28 is normal,
also it's not at all your right to judge people based on the fact that they've had sex by 28.
at this point your perspective on this is fucked.
>>18572128
Yeah, most people have had sex by 28. They've probably had sex a lot, too. It's you that's behind the pack. Also, life is too fucking short to be worried about this shit.
>>18572152
please help me, I am too socially awkward and unconfident to have sex
how do I find a girl that I can be comfortable with?
i'm tired of it, the acne is gone but i still look like shit. i have no money for peelings and fancy stuff, i tried once and it didn't work. i'm constant with my routine but i'm tired of it.
famous people do it and naturally pretty people have it... why can't i, a normie, have perfect skin like them. just unfair.
are you guys, what's y'alls opinion?
don't do it,
whatever aesthetic benefit derived will be offset by the perceived weirdness/beta/transgenderiness of it.
or just go full transgender and you'll be completely undatable.
>>18572109
Ave you tried going to a doctor? I got some sort of cream prescribed and applying it twice a day cleared it all up.
>>18572123
acne is gone, but i have scars and uneven skin tone all over my face.
So I just saw my ex come up on tinder as I was swiping through. We broke up about 5 months ago but we were together for about 5 years.
I know I'm a hypocrite for being upset about it because I'm on tinder too, but to be honest I was only on there as a tool to help me get over her.
She was a virgin when we started dating and I've always held out hope we'd get back together but seeing her on tinder really brought this wave of crushing emotions over me and the idea of her being with someone else is making me physically sick.
So basically I'm just asking for advice on how to feel better or get over it or just whatever you guys have to offer really.
Picture unrelated
Shameless self bump. I really need help guys
>>18572108
By realizing she isn't your problem anymore. It's over. Whatever happens to her now, good or bad, doesn't affect you in the slightest.
>>18572135
But i do care what happens to her, because I'm still in love with her
I think I have a sexual attraction to insane feminist girls. I have no idea if this is due to a humiliation fetish, a cuckold fetish, a femdom fetish, or any combination of the three. But whenever I see something like this it gets me hard. What is wrong with me, /adv/?

The women in these videos also have sexy voices to me. Oh god, why can't I be normal?!
Why do women getting sexually assaulted and harassed arouse you, OP?
Can i bareback my gf without risking aids?
Or is the virus in the air and I might get it just from probably touching her shit with my tip?
your partner is HIV+? HIV is spread through contact with bodily fluids but it most easily spreads with blood, and can't spread at all with saliva. Always use a condom when having any kind of sexual contact as the virus will travel up your urethra and infect your cells.
Can anyone tell me why why why why WHY all rappers have a perfect hair line (not line up like genetically) abs and a hairless body
Like wtf are they just genetic mutants born in a lab. Lil Wayne is 40 but still like 25 and physically fit wtf. I honestly think it's all from their personality.
when you have money you can afford a personal trainer 7 days a week, and a nutritionist to plan and make all your meals so you're always eating healthy
but what advice were you looking for
>>18572058
Ok why do they have full hairlines and perfect hair and they don't have trainers and shit they're always skinny like before they're famous and they have tours and so drugs all day.
Black men are genetically superior
White men are pudgy and bald rapidly
I called the local police department to report a possible shooting at my neighbors' house. It's been an hour and no one's come AFAIK.
Why?
My town's police department phone number redirects to the county (we'll call N) number, but my town is actually in two counties (N and S) and I and my neighbors live in S county. Is that why police haven't come? But wouldn't N send S police if they had to?
What's up with this?
i hope phil's doing ok
>>18572045
I woke up at 2:30 and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got on the Internet. At 3:12 CST, I heard a car blasting music for several minutes left of me (very close by, probably just the neighbors' house north of me). I thought little of it, until suddenly I heard a quick succession of pops, like firecrackers going off and at least two voices speaking loudly, again around my left. I also heard a puppy yelp several times. The neighbors' I believe this may have happened to also have a puppy.
I called at about 3:20, but I haven't heard anyone come by and no one has rang my doorbell or even called me (I gave them my number).
I'm so confused.
>>18572065
Shit, meant to say "me too" about Phil.
ex just told me shes pregnant but im skeptical as shes on implanon.
she has been acting super crazy these past 2 weeks texing me saying she wants to see me and when i cant respond cause im working she flips out saying stuff like "nothings ever going to change, the ship has sailed." just dramatic bs
im freaking out but at the same time feel like its some ploy to manipulate me. calm me down /adv/
has she done a pregnancy test?
>>18572030
Ask her to piss on the pregnancy test directly in front of you in the bathroom. If she objects, you can say, "I've literally been inside of you, but you won't piss on a stick in front of me?" and walk away.
If she tests positive, DNA test upon birth.
>>18572030
She might be pregnant but the kid might not be yours. Had two women try convincing me I knocked them up when they were fucking someone else. One finally admitted the fuckery and had an abortion, with the other one her own father told me she had been fucking a neighbor for years and believed it was that guys. You be calm with her but tell her that if she is pregnant before you sign the birth certificate you must have a DNA test. Guys put an end to women passing their child off on you as they have for 10's of thousands of years.
Basically there are 2 options for how you are going to be perceived:
1: be considered weak
2: be considered an asshole
3: become utterly indifferent but lose the ability to care and pursue anything, you become invulnerable to shame, failure, losing people, public perception and anything social but you won't make any personal progress, see 1.
4: Become egomaniac, only you matter, if you gain nothing from something you don't care about it, see 2.
>muh balance and middle ground maturity
Just a convoluted state that lacks clarity due to not being openly exposed to the power dynamics directly due to excess comfort and safety for too long a time. If examined, distilled.
and dissected all relations boil down to the dynamics above.
>b-b-but my unique virtues, honors and personality are what people appreciate.
All of your unique characteristics are irrelevant beyond the scope of being either a weakness or a strength, it either makes you stronger or weaker and it will affect your ranking on the social hierarchy as such, all else is irrelevant.
Psychological advice on this perspective?
I can't shake it as it see it as ultimately being correct. It serves me well but at the same time it prevents any genuine investment in social bonds. I'm not even sure if its even problematic or just the truth of things.
>>18572022
Being noble. Honor can be confused with being weak, but it's not. I have no need to shame anyone, nor am I weak, as I help those in my care, as well as complete fucking strangers when I can (donate time to a recycling center, food to a food bank, and have even paid the rent of complete strangers who needed help, by donating to a church pastor/priest in a poor part of the city, telling them to give to those who need it the most).
That said, my acts of good will are not out of some sort of compulsion, or in the hopes of being accepted, but because they are the right thing to do, and, if I feel I my charity is being abused, I can stand up, walk away, and take what the other party wants with me, all without a twinge of guilt. I don't need them, they need me (although clearly not badly enough to abstain from seeking to abuse my acts of good will). I can feel shame, I can fail, but I strive to live a life where I don't feel ashamed about anything I've done, and if I fail, I can fail without regret, as I did the best that I could do with the knowledge and skill I had at the time.
I love deeply, I give generously, I live the best life I can, and am not so greedy as to not seek to improve the life of others.
What category of person would you consider me, out of the 4 you listed?
>>18572053
egomaniac
true altruism is a lie.
you do it because it makes you feel good.
>>18572053
Partially disingenuous and partially lacking exposure to know the raw truth of motivations of both yourself and other people.
Your actions are ultimately self serving all the same since you are compelled out of self interest, your noble acts really only serve to establish your position as being above those who receive your 'charity' and 'nobility', you raise yourself above them by having 'sympathy' and they confirm this by receiving it willingly, this is also why they ultimately stab you in the back.
You merely haven't been exposed to the nature of motivations of yourself and other people, your position is one formed by a lack of understanding or being disingenuous and a lack of exposure.
I got some fillings done last month, and about 4 weeks after getting them, one of the fillings fell out, which i got replaced yesterday. I just tried flossing near said tooth, and it cracked. I think it's just barely staying in there for now, and i'm afraid to brush, floss, or even eat or drink anything. What's worse is, I can't go see any other dentist because that's the only one i'm covered under, the other ones could cost thousands of dollars, and I have more that are scheduled to be done at the same place.
What am I supposed to do? I don't have the money for other dentists, and I don't trust this one to not make the same mistake three times in a fucking row.

>>18572017
Any reputable dentist will guarantee his work, and do any necessary repairs at no further cost. If he refuses, report him to the insurance plan he's part of.
>>18572033
I'm just using some state medical card because i can't get coverage any other way, and I don't pay anything for it aside from the transportation to the location, a fucking hour away. He already replaced it once and I don't see how it'd get fixed the third time.
I can feel the crack on the filling, i'm afraid more brushing will make it come completely out. It's a rather deep cavity to begin with, and i dont even know what i'm supposed to do if/when it falls out. At this point i feel like even if I did see another dentist, it'd still come out, since it's on the front side of a tooth, not the top or backside. I have a filling or two needed that are on the front as well, which is just another reason i'm panicking
Forgot to mention, first time i got it done there was a decently sized bump on the filling, which got caught on something at some point and came out. The second time, i'm not sure the dentist ran floss between the filled tooth and the adjacent tooth. I'm not sure he did it for the other one i got done during that trip either. With no other dentist options, what can i do? This thing won't fully fall out in my sleep and choke me right?
This is my first time posting on this board, so I apologize is this just seems stupid. I need advice on how to get this person to like me who has fucked me over in the past? Is it possible to manipulate someone into making themselves believe they like you?
Well it's a really long story but without going into too much details I am really in love with this one person, but they've really fucked me over in the past, even tried convincing me to kill myself. IT seems like whatever I do doesn't have any impact on them, I try to make them jealous sometimes but it literally does nothing. I always text first. I know they're ignoring me because I see them posting and talking to other people. It's like they're trying to mess with me mentally, is there anyway I can turn this around? How can I make someone who doesn't give a shit about me, start caring about me? I don't care how long it takes. They say really sweet things to me and shit for a really short time, then go back to just ignoring me and shit. Sometimes we'll talk for hours and then the next day they'll ignore me, barely give me replies. They aren't busy either because I know they are talking to other people. I probably sound pathetic but lol, I'll try anything I can to somehow change this around. Don't just tell me to give up because I can't
Are you 12 or autistic? Or are you just a shitty troll?
I don't even know where to start with this, this is beyond fucked. You're going to have to convince me this is real before I say anything more.
>>18572005
How do I make you believe I'm real?
I'm not 12 lol
I really want some genuine advice
>>18571995
>even tried convincing me to kill myself
Why would you ever want this person? They clearly have issues.
I want a magnified view of the sun, for the upcoming eclipse. Will this blind me instantly?
no. shit is seriously over rated.
I stared at the sun heaps when I was a kid, for extended periods of time. All it did was make my view slightly darker for awhile.
I ran into this girl at a friends birthday party 2 weeks ago that showed some interest in me. It's become apparent that my mutual friends with her won't set something up to allow me to bust a move.
Slide into DMs: Yay or Nay and how should I go about this?
Find your way to her.
It's you who want her, not your mutual friend. Go for it if you wish.
>>18571946
She's just inside her bitch forcefield at the moment, you have to keep trying to break through
