More fiber, metamucil.

Don't take antibiotics or eat foods with chemical preservatives, especially sulfates, carragenan, etc

Add a cup of Joghurt with a TS of flax seed to your diet, optional add some dried fruits. Drink more. Small change will make your bowels move more easily. Also reducing your coffee to one portion daily in the morning will make them work regularly every morning, as coffee helps to move them.

Stop trying to imagine death. You can talk about it, joke about it, even think about how you're going to die, but never for God's sake try imagining death.

Now that you know what to keep away from, find other thoughts that will distract you. It doesn't need to be something that will keep you thinking, but you must try and ignore the thoughts you don't like. Stay relaxed, clear your mind and try not focusing much on thinking.

It never really goes away but once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy to stay away from

Cause youre wke. But for real get a gf and ground yourself. Im not saying be completely attached because existentialism is what keeps us wondering about the world, consciousness, etc. Find some passions and better yourself wherever you can

>>18533701

That's exactly what I'm doing.. imagining it.
Thanks for this.

>>18533706
I've got a gf who loves me and I love her. Makes it worse in my opinion, she's going to die to.

No matter what, this picture always makes me feel good about myself.

I'm in my 30s, and it has been the absolutely best decade of my life. You're only now starting to get to the fun part of life. There are so many new things opening to you.

>>18533587
K. Keep me updated.

it could be an STI. it could be a UTI. it could be a stray hair that got stuck in there and caused irritation.

source: I've had all three.

Did you shove something in there recently?
No?
then you have a STI anon.

What are you studying, and why are you studying it?

>>18533562
Computer Science. I studied it cause its the only thing i am good at at the moment. It was fun and interesting at first. However after 2 years, I just feel tired and burnt out now.

Kind of regret studying and felt that i wasted all the resources being poured into me by my parents but i am kind of losing it. I am not even sure if this is what i want to do for the rest of my life. I just want a fun and exciting life//job but now everything seems so dull to me. I am just wasting my time away and escaping all the work i need to do.

>>18533512
try /fa/

>>18533512
Yes, a tailor can do that. No, 100 bucks isn't enough. You're looking at a minimum of double that.

>>18533523
fuckkkk

go pop some laxatives and hunker down on your toilet for the rest of the day. maybe chase it down with some milk of magnesia

>>18533494
Do you think it's really just a case of severe constipation? This never usually happens to me.

>>18533491
Drink a shitton of water.
Eat some dried foods, if you have flax seed.
Drink some strong coffee.

Next time watch your dietary fieber or just ad some flax seed to a cup of joghurt in the morning.

But if it's to late it is possible that your intestines have already fucked each other and make you need to go to the hospital. But that will only be the case if you get labor like constractions.

Also, don't press. It will get you hemorhides.

if you are so lazy that you can't even 'watch movies' as part of your work load than you are in for a world of struggle.

>>18533403
o ultimately we cannot really tell you how to be motivated. its not a multi step process. even if it was, if you arent motivated to just work out, how would you find the motivation to do something to get you motivated to work out? its a flawed concept.

the best thing you can do is create some small goals and try to meet them, and build up to bigger goals. the high gets bigger with every accomplishment.

you can also try other systems that don't rely on SELF discipline. Slave system (like when you were younger, you did what you had to do in order to avoid punishment). Reward system, you give your self candy or ice cream or your favorite video game at the end of the day only when you accomplished your goals. Buddy system, where someone who also wants to do this or something else works with you and you work with him on each of your goals (this ones a bit flawed as you might just end up bringing the worst out of each other). then there's mentor system which is where you have someone who DOES run the marathon force you to get up every morning and run with him until you get there.

none of these require self discipline, there is motivation but it comes from external forces, and while it can help get you to the finish line and learn your real potential you will likely just fall back into your normal routine once that system is no longer in place.

the fun thing about self discipline is that everyone CAN have it, and its pretty literally just a choice. you can choose to do something. just because you CHOSE not to do it doesn't mean you can't do it. you literally can. but most people can't wrap their minds around the concept. they've convinced themselves they 'can't. simply because they 'won't'.

>>18533421

heres the thing though: you don't need to WANT to do something in order to do it. even if you hate doing it, you can just do it anyway.

thats how you find out who you really are.metimes you meet people who say they want to be a writer. then five years later they still say they want to be a writer. and in that time they will have written nothing but maybe a chapter of a book, and some fanfiction.

anytime you ask them how writing is going they will say 'oh i got writers block'. despite never even having a basic writing break through, they will claim writers block. despite them not knowing how to write, never actually writing anything, and hating it when they do write, they will insist that they are a writer.

you are the less obsessed version of that. You see something that LOOKS interesting, then you try it, and it isn't something you enjoy, so you leave. the writers i mentioned earlier are like you but they are obsessed with the idea because of the lifestyle it brings to their imagination. its almost like saying you are a youtuber. you just want to be looked up to for no real reason.

>i am a born adventurer
So why not make new adventures with kids?

>>18533385
i have heard you can't do that. that life becomes mundane and domesticated with kids.

>>18533390
If you think life is "mundane" because of kids, you're insane.

It's literally like living with a tiny sociopath in your house. I mean, if you don't want kids, don't have them. But I can tell you its far from boring.

>>18533358

people say you should call to follow up but honestly its just not true. the idea behind calling to follow up is thati t proves you really want the job, but they don't care. they're not going to say 'WOW THIS GUY REALLY WANTS THE JOB I MUST'VE BEEN WRONG WITH MY ORIGINAL JUDGEMENT HE IS PROBABLY GOOD FOR IT'

they didn't call back cuz you werent a good candidate. i went into a sandwich shop and asked if they had looked at my resume for 4 months. the entire time the manager and all the employees kept complaining they were understaffedb ut that he hadn't had a chance to look at new employees. 4 months. kept promising id definitely get a call. never did.

thank god too cuz id probably still be stuck there if i did.

regardless, the point im trying to make is that following up does pretty much zilch unless its some small business where forging a personal relationship matters.

>>18533358
You can follow up now. Just let them know you applied and are following up.

Don't take it bad if they don't choose you. I have a ton of degrees and it was still tricky to get my first real job. People in the private sector half the time are just hiring their school friends or girls they want to bang.

>>18533362
I want to follow up so I can stop worrying about this, rather than getting goodboy points. BUT, if I follow up too early, then I might hurt my chances by annoying them. That's my conundrum.

>>18533322
No. It's not. I moved into a dorm to go to uni at 21. Made some of the best friends I've ever had. Once they earned my trust, I would pick them up booze, too (although they were responsible for bringing it into the dorm and taking care of it).

Not if you move into a dorm that includes sophomores and juniors. Moving into apartments the university owns would also put you among older/ non-traditional students. 18 and 19 year olds will grate on you. I would recommend moving out of the dorm after a year or two so that you can get an apartment, which will be much quieter.

And there's nothing wrong with going to university a couple years later than most students. You're almost certainly more mature than normal freshman, and ought to be able to handle your classes better. Two years in either an educational or professional career aren't big enough to be worth sweating over.

What exactly are you worried about?

>>18533322
No as long as you aren't an autist you'll probably even be looked up to in a way.

t. 27 year old just about to graduate.

Get it done anon, don't be like me.

>>18533306
Yep, I guess I shouldn't have mentioned the fact that I'm trying to get this fit nor the driving lessons.

Ignore? No. Just dont go out of your way for these girls. Keep doing your thing.

I wouldn't ignore it. Getting experience talking to girls will help you in the long run. Keep on improving, dont worry about the rejection.

>>18533293
Ok, so what do you want advice regarding? Convincing your parents? Whether you should do it? What to bring.

>>18533323
Whether I should do it or not.

Also convincing my parents

>>18533293
Are you over 18? If yes, then you do not need your parent's permission. Just get everything packed up, ready to go and do it if it's what you want. This sounds like a great opportunity for you.

Still 17, just explain to them that you're wanting to get a head start on life, get a job and move out into the world.

>>18533196
don't shoot your waifu desu she might apologize!!

>>18533196
Ok Cupid, Badoo, are what I use.

>>18533196
Never used one, and never will. It's pretty much a guarantee that you're getting damaged goods. Fatties, single moms, and divorcees flood every dating app, from what I can tell.

>>18533191
Don't fix it. Just learn from your mistakes and move on. Looks like you need to change a bit as a person.

>>18533214
A bit this dude gotta do a 180

>>18533191
lol why'd you even get married? 4 months?!
