How do I constructively approach the fact that I hate work, but know I have to do it? I just have despised work at every level, and it sits on my mind and drags me down really bad. I try to forget it exists and drink and shut myself away when I'm off, but I know that's not healthy.

I was out sick the past two days and now I'm dreading going back in today. True, absolute, dread & panic.

You hate the work you do, specifically, or you hate work in general? If first, try to change where you work or what field you work in. If latter, suck it up and find something meaningful, fulfilling and worthwhile to do in your free time that compensates for the work shit and gives you something to look forward to during a work day.

>>18565686

I hate work in general. What I do is a decent compromise. However, I'm too stressed and tired from it to want to do anything after work, like a hobby or something. I can't imagine forcing another task on myself and having even less time to relax, eat, and sleep.

"Suck it up" isn't particularly good advice by the way.

It's not easy to enter the working society. School is pretty much there to get you used to it, that you have to do something every day and perform reasonably well. For normal people like me it's hard to comprehend that some people would do anything just to avoid work. I'm not a psychologist, I just have to deal with them sometimes. We had a guy who always tried to slip away and lock himself in the toilet (standing on it so we don't find him). And another one who was always hiding behind the trash containers. The little shits.

I usually attribute this to a fear of failure. A lack of self confidence and lack of skill. They are so afraid to be found out they would rather try to not work at all, try to avoid delivering anything because then they would be found out. They just "want to be safe" above all else.

You'll have to git gud. If you didn't get used to doing stuff in school, you have to start now. For normal people work is motivated by pride in success, not by fear of failure. They want to perform well, earn more, get promoted, etc.
Try to be the best in the team. Or pick someone who's OK and try to be better than them.

If you're already "that guy", then git gud and get another job when done. Because all your colleagues already know, and this impression will probably never change. Another big factor of liking your workplace is liking the people you work with.

I always regret what I post on social media, including things like profile picture, which means my Facebook profile is completely empty.

Does any of you have a method to decide whether you will regret a post later?

Hey adv. Im a 26 yo guy obsessed with women. Boners all day everyday and it gets in the way of my work. Im also obsessed with wanting a wife and kids even though im not in a position to have them. I fucked a hooker last night and even that did nothing for my cravings. I want to be single minded and focus on my career. Women will not make me happy - love with a wife can make me more happy but is not the source of happiness. Also most artists and emgineers do their best work before marriage. I need to focus.

Please help.

How do I do it?
I found a room in a house after piles of apartment ads that has a much cheaper, flat price including utilities

Would I pay the guy directly?
When I interview and if he approves, would I have to pay him the deposit before I move in?
Im not in the area and wont be until early August and ready to move in then.
Additionally, when I get there and sign the lease, I pay the first month's rent right?

I have no idea what Im doing and would appreciate any extra advice

Thanks in advace

how do I know for sure it's his house?

when it comes to payments, how do I record/register my payments if he is the owner?
like if he says he'd rather have me pay cash or wire the money?

Get a receipt from him each time you pay him I reccomend checks , you can see who owns the property by going to your local assessment office ,

>1 year since split from ex - no contact.
>Have had a 1 night stand with someone else and have tried (and failed) pursuing another relationshit since
>Found out ex is now with a new partner

Why is this upsetting me so much? We're separated by countries, we're split and there's nothing left of it. I wanted her to move on and be happy - since I broke up with her, to stop her destroying her academic career (she was a foreign exchange student) in order to continue our relationship. Logically, of course she was going to move on. I've attempted to myself - and have no right to be sad. So why do I feel like my heart is breaking all over again?

>Found out ex is now with a new partner
I was almost over my ex and I found this stuff too. In fact, I looked up on FB that she actually had a kid with some other guy who looks kinda nerdy like me. I didn't even care about her but I stumbled upon her pictures with the new guy and kid and it made me sperg out very bad, I was yelling at family members, stormed outside, crying and called suicide hotline multiple times, but they didn't respond. Later, I calmed the fuck down and didn't care anymore.

I don't know why this shit happens. Some psychological phenomenon, I guess?

I think I have Internet addiction. I don't even look at social media but I'm obsessed with looking up information about my various hobbies or just anything I'm interested in. I also spend a fuck ton of time browsing 4chan.

A fuck tonne if people have internet addiction. Its the perfect storm for human reward system stimulation.

You can know anything in 5 minutes. You can get affirmation on facebook or instagram, or here when you write out your opinions and some anon agrees with you and affirms your world view.

Videos, stimulants, comedy, interests... Its the perfect storm man.

>advice

I dont know how to break it. If i did i would. Ill tell you ive moved a lot in my life, and at this one place i lived internet was so fucking expensive i cancelled it and didnt have it.


It was the best time of my adult life. Seriously.

But im too reliant on it now. I need access to email for work and i do have some real skills and hobbies for which the internet is my primary teacher.

Its tough mang.

I actually have thought and read about internet addiction. I remember it was such a big fucking deal in the early 00's computer magazine, but by now, people don't even know you can be addicted to internet, because they all are.

It sounds bad but keep being internet-addicted. For real. Some guy on Ted talk said that when he did an internet detox for a year, he got even more lonely than he was before, because social media/internet is where you get notifications on events in the real world, and where you can network with others and build relationships and all that jazz. There is real power in how much internet can affect real world.

Only thing I can advise to you is that using internet without pracitical application is loser neckbeard tier - use internet in the most practical way possible. When you read knowledge, read something that could bring you cash in the future. Learn finance, business or some shit, hell, learn how to play online poker. Use internet to meet people, build profiles on different sites. Use internet for diet/exercise advice. Use internet on tips on how to save money. Use internet to buy shit cheaper than in stores.

Internet is such a great fucking thing, you only notice the upsides when you spend away from internet. You cannot appreciate which is always there, OP.

>t. spent first 7 years of my childhood without computer or internet then got a shitty Win 95 computer, XP/dial-up internet in 2003, actual internet in 2006 and so on
>>
>>18565530

At this point being addicted to the internet is like being addicted to oxygen. It's pretty hard to go without it.

How do i make big scar without death results,
Im Lonely and the only time people wanna interact with me is because pitty ness,
And i really need my friends to talk to me

Stop doing this kind of shit. People only interact with you for pity exactly because of this.
Clean up your act and get out of the basement more often to have normal social interactions.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you've brought this on yourself

How to end a 5 years lasting relationship without much harm? We are living together and he thinks we are mutually in love, but i no longer care about us staying together. I don't want him to suffer, i still care about him and wish him the best, and he can definitely do better than me. From his point of view he has gotten himself the best he can, but this doesn't actually make us a good match.
Any similar experience? How are your exes doing after a break up? How do i tell him i want to move out and end this?

Plan this OP. Get your finances in order, organize your possessions, find you a place to go, set a deadline for your flight and keep your mouth shut until everything is ready. This is going to be messy and no way around it and if you can when he is not home move most of your shit to your new place and when he gets home have your talk and do not spend another night with him. You tell him its over and why and grab your purse and leave.

You cannot have a breakup without much harm. Your decision will probably ruin his life for many years. Only way you can truly minimize the damage is when you somehow manage to arrange your life in such a manner that you are moving somewhere far away because reasons and you can't have a long distance or take him with you.

I am a guy, and I have been both dumped and been dumping myself (not really dumped the next gf, just acted like a dick on purpose b/c I wasn't into her and she broke up with me), and I can tell you that it's going to be very bad news for him.

Only words I can say is that you have to be decisive and assure him with confidence that it's not his fault (since it seems it really isn't).

So /adv/, how the hell do you improve your self esteem?

A few months ago I got into a relationship with another beta from 4Chan. We live in different countries, but we still visit each other once a month. The guy never dated a girl before, and this really boosted his confidence. He's now happier and more motivated, and likes to joke about making a harem with other girls, too.
Meanwhile, I'm still rock bottom. My self esteem is nonexistent, and I'm starting to think I was better off alone in my own misery. I started working out more, studying his field of work and doing all sorts of things out of panic he may get bored of me otherwise. He is aware of my massive insecurity, but that doesn't seem to stop him from making lewd comments regarding other females. He jokes that we should invite my female friends for a threesome, or that some of them would be perfect for his harem. Obviously it's all with humorous intent, but I can't help being butthurt about it. I'd rather have a minimum amount of self confidence and laugh it off.

tl;dr how to stop being an insecure beta

Don't date people from 4chan, especially if you're a femanon. People here are most part outcasts, mentally ill or NEETs.
>>
I've never been in a relationship before but people have always told me that two mentally ill people don't work very well together. Hell, I have a hard time even hanging out with my depressed friend.

It may not be the time for you to commit to something like this. I don't know how you can boost your self esteem, but you should definitely work on yourself first before you try a relationship.
>>
It's rather simple, OP
If your bf/gf is not making you feel better about yourself, then that person is not for you.
Get out of there before you get more damage going your way. Also it seems like the guy is really pushing for threesomes because he knows he can manipulate you for your insecurities

I have some kind of sleep problem and I want to identify it. Maybe someone can relate and help.

Sometimes I wake up feeling worse than having had no sleep at all. It's usually when I am excited about something the night before but not always.
Today I was going to do something I really like but when I woke up I felt drowsy as shit. I try my best to identify what the problem is. First of all I feel really cold. Even if it's not cold in the room. I put on a bunch of clothes, ate a bowl of cereal, then crawled back in bed to get warm. The sensation first was that I can't breathe properly. Like I'm holding my breath subconsciously. I forced myself to breathe in and out a few times and then I suddenly realized I was in pain. My shoulders and arms felt clenched and stiff. So I moved them around to get them loose. I read a few pages of a book and that seemed to distract me a little but I still felt like shit. Eventually I just turned on one side and managed to fell asleep again. After an hour or so I woke up feeling great. All my muscles were numb in a good way, I felt extremely relaxed like I could sit in bed all day that way. It felt really good and now looking forward to the rest of the day.
But it bothers me that I can't feel this way after a regular night of sleep. I had the day off today so I could do this but there are days when I can't and I go through an entire day feeling like shit. Has anyone experienced something like this?

I don't wanna make new friends, I love these guys so damn much and want to keep hanging out with them but having my ex along especially with their new cumdump partner is just too painful and awkward

They obviously are more your ex's friends not yours. Break ups tell us where loyalties lay so why not find real friends, friends that have your back and support you and not fair-weather acquaintances.
>>
Ask them if they would like to hang out without your ex sometime because it's too painful for you to see them. Real friends should be understanding.

I'm sad because of my parent's mortality.

My dad got a physical today and there were, albeit very small, trace amounts of blood. Apparently this had happened last year and the doctors weren't worried. My mom and dad both say not to be worried and that it's nothing, but all day I've been thinking about my dad. He's not going to live forever. I cried in my car on my break at work, and I'm crying right now.

I'm sad. I know I should be thankful that I even have parents, and I know he's not even unwell. I just can't stop thinking about what it would be like to lose my dad. I'm crying like a bitch right now.

I'm moving out of state too. I live with my parents right now and just the thought that something could happen without me there or knowing just scares me. I know that this is something everyone deals with but fuck. These are the best people I could possibly be raised by and I want to be just like them when I get older.

I'm sad /adv/.

I just want to tell you there is nothing bad about crying, no matter where and who you are. I found my dad dead after he comitted suicide like three years ago and I think about him everyday. I cry a lot too. It's never bad. Now you should do everything to make your dad feel special. He is fine and you too should be.

You don't send PMs here. Best case you can hope for is someone giving you a throw away email address and then giving you a phone number (or, more likely, skype/telegram/wickr/wire account).

But you're anonymous here, nobody knows who you are. Just ask for advice.
