>be me a year ago
I was playing one of my favorite games, minecraft, when I was bored and was asking around the lobby for someone to skype. Then this boy (around my age) skype my ass. So im talking with this guy we become fast best friends. After a couple of months he introduces me to one of his irl friends. So over the months i develop a small crush on my best friend. Then it quickly got bigger and bigger. Then last month I confessed my feelings and he instantly blocked me. I still talk to the friend he introduced me to.
what can I do to get my best friend back?
I miss him.
I dunno.
I feel like youve left out key info here.
Age... sex. What was said etc
>want to order a whore like pizza delivery
>don't agree to the terms and conditions
>the botnet wants me to be a virgin
fuck off
I'm a 23 year old man who finished up CC and am starting at university this fall. What can I do to bang as many 18 year olds as possible?
Going to college and want to teach English as a foreign language. What's the best language to learn?
Right now I'm most considering Spanish or Russian.

If u like literature then russian. If you like food and beer Spanish
Hey guys,
I'm from a lower caste in life, and it wasn't until earlier today that I found out higher education is free in some countries.
I'm poor as shit, and equally quite untalented when it comes to education, which is why I didn't just study here in the US. However through working, I've disciplined myself enough to value a good strong work ethic and an appreciation for education. I have some experience from community college, but deviated from that because of work and I love the romanticized idea of going back to school while being in a beautiful country.
I've looked into some countries, like Sweden and Norway, but besides that, does anyone have any idea how a US citizen could go study abroad?
Also, what other countries should I look out for? How different is the thought vs the reality of studying abroad as an immigrant?
I only have one friend who bothers texting me back and genuinely seems interested in hanging out with me. And he's a recent friend, so it's only a matter of time until he catches on to whatever everyone else is sensing in me and starts ignoring me, too.
How do I end this suffering. I recently made an effort to overcome my social anxiety and come out of my shell, and I thought I was doing really well and connecting with a few people, and now I'm back to square one.
Nobody bothers responding to my 4chan threads, either.
>>18537036
this is one of the slowest boards on 4chan, and all you did was whine, how are we supposed to help you?
>wants to have friends
>makes a friend
>back to square one
You ARE doing well you fucking moron.
>And he's a recent friend, so it's only a matter of time until he catches on to whatever everyone else is sensing in me and starts ignoring me, too.
Your posts reek of self loathing OP. Stop feeling so much pity for yourself, why would anyone want to be friends with someone who thinks their whole world's collapsing the moment they feel a slight discomfort?
I know I posted before but I'm still not decided.
So my gf of about 8 months has lived an adventureous life before she met me, over the past 10 years or so she's been living and working all over the world. When I met her "It was time to come home now" was the idea atleast but she's had some issues finding a job here (her skills just isn't needed here)
So she contacted one of her ex-employers: "Maybe I can get some freelance projects from them".
Well, she was instantly offered her old position back in Spain, so she was gonna decline but after about 2 weeks of thinking about it this has turned into: "what if I accept their offer? You can come with and we can live there for a year or something!"
Well, I am open towards it, I have never done something like this so it might be a good experience, however, we are only 8 months deep into our relationship and it's strength just hasn't been truly tested yet and this feels like a pretty hard first test.
I really don't want to loose here, I hate to say it but: "I have never felt this way about another person before"
>clichè!!! But true
I don't speak Spanish, I have no idea what I'd be doing there: Technician by trade, people always need technicians but not sure how open they'd be towards hiring someone who'd have to communicate in english.
As for my life here: I am allready away from family and friends, not living in my hometown... the only person I really care about here is her and for my job: I'm sort of in the planning stage of switching jobs anyways and I have probobly 3-4 months worth of living in savings and I can lease my apt out for probobly 1,2k (euro) a month aswell so I could probobly drag those savings out quite a lot so the timing isn't fucked wrong to do something like this.
Still worrying though.
>>18536500
Brody, there was never a "coming home feeling" in the first place. You're willing to uproot your entire life for a piece of pussy you've known for 8 month. 8 months of knowing a person is NOTHING in the big picture. If you really love her, set her free, if she comes back, it means she feels the same way. Just don't get cucked in the interim hahaha. Always look out for number one man, cuz she might just wake up one day and realize she might not want to be with you anymore, then you're fucked. Let her go, there are plenty of other fish in he sea.
>>18536844
Dude, I'm 30 and "I have never felt this way about another person before"
>there are plenty of fish in the sea
Doesn't really apply to me, I never/very very rarely get attached to people.
It's not getting cucked if I want to go is it?
>>18536844
And if you didn't read: It's not uprooting my life: I'm quitting my job and all my family and friends live elsewhere anyway.
I allready uprooted my life to go here.
How do I stop overthinking? It reached the point where if I don't overthink some dumb shit I end up overthinking how to end overthinking or how to live. I have been sleeping no more than 4-5 hours a day this past week. I'm going to go mad.
Therapist or medication is no option for at least 10 days
I tried meditation, I feel great for as long as it lasts but when I finish I start overthinking being mindful and I end up having a lot of anxiety
bumpo
>>18536498
Stop thinking, start doing.
I dont know how to cope. I have no friends to talk to about my situation. My feelings have been toyed by someone I highly respected and loved. My best friend. I wish he would apologize to me in person instead through social media. He called me his best friend and that he cares about me a lot. I believe him. But I wish he can see the damage hes done to me. I feel so depressed. And now I have to avoid him while in college cause we go to the same one cause he cant be seen with me. What do I do.
You're weak. Just get over it and start talking to other people.
My parents were fucking insane and hammered proper manners into me from an early age. They also made me paranoid and scared at fuck about everything. I'm scared to roll a blunt in my own house in a state where alcohol is decriminalized because "someone might tell on me".
I'm scared to say "no" to people because I don't want to offend them. I never leave work early even when my boss says it's fine to take the rest of the evening off because in my head "he's just trying to test my discipline better say no"
It's gotten to the point where it stifles everyhrinf I do and I'm not confident to do ANYTHING in fear of someone coming down and reprimanding me. Being forward with a girl? Your SJW high school teacher will shame you for expressing interest in front of your entire clsss and threaten to tell your parents and now you have a scarred memory about approaching women
How do I get my balls back? I'm deathly deathly afraid of rocking any status quo and I'm only 24 and I'm wildly unhappy
I'm 21, a couple years ago I used to be the same. Let me say, it's not about rocking status quos or being a rebel that will make you happy. Being confident and being cautious don't have to be mutually exclusive. You learn by execution. If you want to be confident, act as if you are and eventually you will be. The mind learns through conditioning, the phrase "fake it till you make it" isn't bullshit man. Get out there and become more confident by being confident.
I'm in a class that is curved, the professor has caught cheaters from previous exams and I'm sure there's more. I don't care about the cheating really but they are hurting my grade, how do I convince my professor to give me more points because of them?
>>18536446
Ask for a private talk with the teacher. I did that a lot. 'Teach can we talk outside for a second' most will agree. Use your social skills to let him know that you are against cheating but theres knothing u could do about it. Ask him 'do i have anyway of not getting hurt by those cheaters' as a way to trap him. Hell probably suggest giving extra grades or more oportunities.
>>18536472
I explained my viewpoint and asked if he wanted to meet in person through email, I just had the email today and sent it while the exam was still going on
Guys please help. /r9k/ here and I somehow managed to get a date with a girl. She wants to get Thai food take-out and eat it at her place. What can I get that won't give me explosive shits in case we hook up later?
Not trolling, genuinely need help. I've never had Thai food.
Why don't you just eat before going out and then order a little appetizer at the restaurant?
>>18536434
Just order satay and noodles and make sure you order it non-spicy. Thai food is just fine usually, just a load of peanuts and green curry. Noodles and satay will not upset our bowels so easily. Unless the meat was off
>>18536434
Eat three pills of actovated charcoal before the meal. Or a spoonfull. That should help. Oh and if you get laid you better greentext about ot here.
>all my roommates are leaving the area
>no car
>If I can't manage a last minute college acceptance and loan I won't have a place to live in after the lease is up
>know fuck all about living on my own because my family (both extended and immediate) kept me sheltered
>said family doesn't want anything to do with me anymore
Does anyone have experience/tips on making it on their own or starting from nothing. I have a 2k credit limit, high school diploma, valid drivers license, clean record, but I can't join the military due to medical crap. As of now If the college thing doesn't pan out the closest thing I have to a plan of action is moving to a new area that has a homeless shelter/affordable 24/7 gym so I have a place to take showers while I look for a new job to get on my feet.

California needs farm workers. Most of the farms offer accommodation. The areas to look are from Fresno and north of Fresno. You could be working tomorrow but it is seasonal so you need to save what you make. However if you're a hard worker and semi-intelligent a farm may make you a permanent employee.
hey /adv/
i'm a recent high school graduate who's really in a weird situation concerning college.
essentially, i'm enrolled at two different schools and can't fully devote myself to one or the other and idk how to bring myself to make a real, solid decision. i feel like a dumbass because all of my peers know where they're going and have all this shit planned out, but i'm a total mess.
one school is a private lib arts college in a state bordering mine, and i've been awarded a full scholarship to attend. i have mixed feelings about it and was kinda pressured into applying by a counselor and my family, but i think i could adjust and be satisfied if i attend the school.
the other is a regional uni on the west coast, nearly 3000 miles away from where i currently live, and they've awarded me a pretty hefty scholarship and i should be able to pay for everything and only take out very small (like less than $2000) loans. i really like the idea of just totally fucking off and doing something different while i still can, but i can't help but worry about the unknown. life def wouldn't be as comfortable or as easy there as it would be at the other school, but i feel like it really could be worth it but i don't want to go over there and produce nothing and wind up feeling like an alienated loser.
idk, any help is appreciated. and btw, both schools have majors that i'm into and i'd be working about the same amount of time no matter what so those aren't huge factors.

go with the cheaper option.
the problem with liberal arts schools (aside from being expensive) is that they aren't very well known outside of the local area that they are in. if you want to get really well versed in the liberal arts, like history and philosophy, but miss out on other, more career oriented opportunities then go there.
i went to a liberal arts school, and it trained me to be really good at school (writing a paper, sifting through a reading, questioning the writer's argument, identifying the thesis, etc.), but not really anything else. part of this could be because of the opportunities i didnt take or whatever, but there u go. also I really didn't fit in socially where I went to college-- lots of rich snobbish people that i had practically nothing in common with (although this has always been an issue of mine).
i think a state school would have been a better choice for me, because i would have not had nearly as much debt while waffling over the career I wanted to pursue (which I am still doing 10 years later). also state schools offer more diverse programs in relevant and current fields and research.
also think about where you might want to end up after college, geographically. if you stay at home, going to the liberal arts school, you'll probably find its harder to relocate right away, because you have no experience, and nobody outside of a 150 mile radius of the school knows anything about it.
you can always come back home from somewhere else, but its not always easy to do the reverse.
Comging from someone who just up and left for the army one day mid way through college. Go to the one on the west coast. The best way I grew as a person was to get outside of my bubble. west coast isnt all that expensive as people make it out to be. Those that are thought to be courageous never do something in full confidence. Thats what makes them courageous.
Ok, so I will TRY and keep this short.
I've been looking for a career path. I'm gonna be 23 soon. I have this idea of a simple, obtainable job that doesn't have to make me rich, just keep me afloat. I dropped out of college once already and fear going back for the same reason. I'm extremely interested in working in some form of animation (wake up, go to a cubicle, create characters/worlds in 3D or 2D on some shitty tablet). I guess you could say I want to be part of a game/animation dev team, but primarily as an artist. I know 2D animation and most other software such as Photoshop, Vegas, etc.
If I start college now, ill be out by the time im 27 (which is ok I guess)
Time, and finding the correct college/path to take to bring me to this goal have been driving me fucking crazy.
I'm reaching my mid 20's and it's starting to scare me. I want to find some kind of career that I can do all day without an issue, and I'm fully convinced that would be some form of digital art.
I seriously need some advice. I'm working an ok job right now that makes me ok money, it's just not a "solid" job.
I'm willing to take any advice
Extra points if you work a job like this already and can tell me how you got there
Thanks guys
Best I can do is to build a portfolio and ask someone to sit down and make your knowledge marketable on a resume. Youll just need something to show for it. If youre that good then youll get picked up but without a degree dont expect to be making more than what you do now. All else fails the military has graphic design jobs. Reserve bonuses are through the roof. As a graphic designer in the military I will never see combat ( unfortunately). Youll come out with a cert and a shit ton of marketable experience
>>18536512
I'm from New York, I cant find much work that is willing to hire without a degree. I think I will try college again, I'm just worried it wont help much. A military graphic design job is a really interesting route to take, I didn't even that was a thing.
