Hey /adv/, I'm a little bit concerned about my behavior and how it affects others.

I'm a no-bullshit type of guy and I fear I might blow up on someone who is doesn't deserve it. I come off very stern and it deters most people until they talk to me.

My concern comes from my experience at college this semester, where I get very agitated at shy people. I hate small talk with a passion and while nothing really bad has happened, a good friend pointed out that I sound very stern, almost like I'm a professor to people I don't know.

I believe I need to find a way to come off nicer but being friendly isn't exactly my strong suit, despite me having many good friends. What should I do?

were you bullied in the past? I behave this way also but I'm a softie inside

>>18685272
I was, yeah. I'm supposing my behavior is a direct result of that.

I was the same all the way to age 23 until my partner pushed me to be more social. It just came with practice. I had to lower my defenses around other people and relax my tone and learn to allow my emotions to come out instead of sounding blocked off all the time. It just comes with practice.

I wouldn't. But if you really want to you should be fine within 4 hours. If you don't feel fine just tell him you got diarrhea or something.

hello / adv /, I'm in doubt about the relationship, I'm dating 9 months, we do not have much in common, but she and my friend are 2 years old and we date 9, and I really like her, you know, my love, many traumas, she does not do any sex with me and is starting to criticize me for asking these things to her, saying that I only talk about it, being that I speak very carefully, it's only after marriage, but I do not even care a lot of it, however, some of their actions are driving me crazy, like in a moment that he was in a crazy crisis of anxiety to start speaking bad of min until say it arrives, I really like it, but I do not know what else to do , I'm feeling in confusion, some advice ?

Sup /adv/

So I've been speaking to this girl for quite some time (about 5 months) and we live really close together (1 hour drive away)....but we still haven't met.
We have gotten really close and I honestly have really strong feelings for her. We always plan to meet but come closer to the day...she cancels. Makes excuses and blames me...says "you put me off".
She has anxiety....but so do I. I fight it to see her and yet, she doesn't do the same. It's almost as if she really doesn't wanna meet me.
Like she's happy just speaking to me online. I really don't want that. I want something to be real. Everything online feels fake...i want to have her here with me.
Anyway, she's cancelled on me again and just looking for some advice.
Should I just walk away, leave her? I really don't want to...but I also want more. I can't handle this online thing for much longer.

help me /adv/

Walk away. You're being used as her validation dispenser machine/emotional tampon. She's not really interested on you since she's been flaking for more than two times in your story.

Realize that there'll be always people who behave like this, and have some respect to your own time and cut away your investment and loss. Just saying.
>>
>>18684999

She's probably lied to you about something and meeting you would mean she gets caught. Walk away and never look back.
>>
>>18685013
She's actually cancelled on me over 5 times. Keeps telling me she really does want to see me but she's scared. Surly if you really want to see someone you would face that silly fear like I do.
Maybe you are right and she's just using me as an emotional tampon.

Hello again, /adv/. I'm the fag from a few days ago who had concerns about dating a woman who was taller than me (actually I learned we are about the same, if not the same, height) and now I figured I would report back in:
>we start talking more and more
>talk about interests and similar other things
>she collects really weird stuff
>skulls, bones, her cat's whiskers, her own hair, etc.
>kinda cringe but doesn't bother me too much
>beggarscantbechoosers.png
>find out she's still single
>but also overhear that more people than myself are after her
>plan on asking her for her #
>cowardice overruns me and I don't ask.

I've asked for a girl's number before and got rejected because we hadn't talked enough. Do you guys have a recommendation on when to ask for a number? All I know is that I have to move briskly or I'll miss my chance.

pic unrelated, just aesthetic.

I've never had a girlfriend and I don't really feel like I need one.

I know I'm an ugly fucker with a face covered in acne scars and a body covered in stretch marks from my fat teenage years. I'm nearly six and a half feet tall, but my dick is only like four inches hard, so it looks even smaller than it normally does.

No girl would ever actually sleep with me, but it doesn't hurt too much. I've always been kind of solitary anyways, I like my pets better than my friends.

Is something wrong with me for not wanting a girlfriend? I don't think I'm asexual, since I do masturbate, though I'm trying to quit porn. And this isn't a MGTOW thing, either, I've always felt this way.

Nah, youre just honest with yourself, and above frivolus bullshit. Nothin wrong with singleplayer mode.

Sounds like a good situation to me. I personally would like to have a girlfriend, but I'm trying to not let it bother me too much and just go on with life and hope that maybe one day I'll meet someone I could actually fall in love with. It does scare me a bit that it'll never happen, so I envy you. Wish I could also just not give a single shit, but maybe someday I'llreach that state. Not like there aren't more important things, I wouldn't trade my friends for a girlfriend and I'm hopeful about my career. Can't always get the cream on the cake, doesn't mean the cake can't still be good. You keep doing you buddy, as long as you're happy with your life you're doing it right.

Hey guys, I like to voice chat alot with my friends but I never know what to say.
Every time my internet friend messages me I hit them up with a "vc?" And they do in 5 minutes but then it's the most awkward conversation that I ever have because there's over 6 minutes of silence over each topic/question that lasts 10-40 seconds.
I want to voice chat so much because I want to play vidya while talking. What do?

>Hey, what's up?
>How's it going?

If you know of anything going on in their life, ask about that.

>Is your mom still doing okay?
>How's that new car working out for you?

People like talking about themselves. I learned this working customer service.

Most importantly:

>Hey, wanna get together sometime?

Don't just spend all your time with your friends on VC playing vidya. Go out and do things with them.

>Anyone wanna go see the new ________ movie?

I used to play Planetside 2 with one of my closest friends. We talked pretty much all the time. Most of the time, or at least as we start we talk about the game, what strategies we should use, what we did wrong last time, how we can improve. It makes both parts think and engage in the conversation. It's really just a kickstarter, because after an hour the conversation goes from game-related to real life related and back again seamlessly without thinking about it.

Then we didn't play for 2 years. We tried to play another game and I experienced what you explained. Remember this is one of my real life friends I've gone to school with and stuff, but still the conversation was dead as fuck which kind of surprised me. But once again I found that focusing on the game initially works as lube for the conversation. It's simply about establishing a rhythm between you. As soon as the gears of communication are oiled up, segwaying into other casual talk is quite easy.

>>18684933
Just say whatever man, it's just game chat it's not like anything you say on there will actually matter.

I started college almost three years ago but I befriended the wrong people, they got me into some rumors and they destroyed my reputation. I'm not strong enough to stand up for myself against them as they were my only friends. I think I should change majors and go somewhere else. I want another chance.
But I'm wondering, I really don't want to be in this situation again, what kind of job should I try to get that don't rely on people? A job that in my everyday life I don't have to talk to people very much, or one that doesn't need too much networking to secure a place.
I don't think coding is an option.

Was anyone else here poor? I'm trying to decide if I should hate my family or not

Poor, no food, malnourished my whole life, they don't care about my needs or shit I need, literally still recooping from lack of food, brought me to the middle of nowhere, broken down house that leaks, never helped me getting a car, got 0 dollars on graduation (they were the ass holes that made me finish)

No, not me. Though when I started work I went through periods of having money then not. Now I'm poor but I get along just about. It's not easy.

Well OP you're clearly a faggot that isn't grateful for the bare minimum.
Are you physically handicapped? Mentally handicap in a way wear you can't provide for yourself?

Well seems like you're able bodied so stop crying and deal with it.

Had none of the actors, musicians, entrepreneurs etc. Have some form of need to improve their lives we wouldn't have what they provide.

I'm not saying you're gonna do any good with your life but to hate your family for it is stupid and childish.

Fucking fool. So what if yoir family home leaked?

There's people drowning in some jungle thing near, in India due to flood.
The same in Texas.

There's kids born with cancer.

And all you manage to do is cry because you weren't given money on your graduation?

Know what?

You're worse than pajeet who shits in designated shitting streets.

I'm a 30yo guy who still lives at home with his parents. No GF, no Friends, shitty job. Only people I talk to are direct family and work colleagues (and now I don't like them much either). Hobbies are vidya, coffee and sleep. Have a few goals (organization, business and having no more social anxiety) but everytime I start one of them, I don't end up doing more than 2 or 3 days worth.

I need a good swift kick in the ass, please advise how I get out.

Social anxiety you should probably visit a therapist. Hobbies, try and find something more creative or good for your well being, there must be something. As far as business maybe sort out your other problems first, you'll find it easier afterwards. You need to be able to get in the habit of self discipline , like studying or practice. Maybe learn book keeping?

Quit vidya and replace with gym. Its full of people who have goals and achieve.

>>18684872
No.

Reduce vidya, add gym.

Went to a club for the first time ever last night and I have to say, the idea doesn't appeal to me sober, but the idea of going to a pub, getting tipsy, then going to a club does appeal
One thing I don't know how to deal with is girls. I'm not a virgin, but even then I don't really count that as knowing how to deal with girls because she did all the work getting me into bed and I was clueless.
For quite a bit of the night (felt like it anyway) there were two girls dancing with some other people and one of them kept smiling at me and I'd smile back, or I would smile at her and she would smile at me. Me and my mates moved to a different bit, and they moved, they moved, and I would slowly work my way around. I saw them go into the toilets and then lost track of them.
Then there was another girl which even the turbo-chad normie from high school and 6th form said was fit. Out of nowhere she started grinding on me and I had no clue what to do. Grinded back for a bit, think I held her hips and sort of rubbed her sides for a bit because I didn't know what else to do, we grinded, and she just went off and started dancing with another guy.
Finally, start chatting with a guy who I'm 99% sure was gay, and he's out with two birds and one of them has an absolute cracking pair of tits and wearing a top that made her nipples on display from certain angles but I didn't even to speak to her because I was so intimidated. Even her mate who had nothing in comparison was still pretty fit but I didn't talk to either of them.

tl;dr what are signs that a girl in a nightclub likes me and what do I do

I think the idea is that if you look at her and she smiles its a go signal. From there you approach her make some small chat, dance around like chimps and then you make out with her.
Take this with a grain of salt since this comes from my observation of what of how other people do it in nigt clubs.
>>
Im no expert but i hookup with girls at clubs 80% of the time i go with mates.

Its pretty easy, everyones drunk so assume girls that smile/GRIND on you like you.

This is what i do, i dance around etc with friends and mingle around looking for a qte girl that smiles/dances with me. Once i find her, i dance with her, then grab her hips while smirking and staring into het eyes. She will smile back, i slowly move my face close to hers and damce with our bodies grinding each other. lastly i pull my face back then smirk more at her and eye fuck her eyes, by this point i go in and makeout with her because her body language says "kiss me!".

Sometimes i get too drunk and after i hookup i leave the girl for my mates to tell them. Then i lose her cause silly drunk me left her lol.

Ever since my girlfriend broke up with me, I basically I haven't left the house. I mean, I don't start college til spring, I work from home, and most of my friends don't live close enough for us to hang out. So all of my communication for the last month has been online.

Well, Friday I went to my old highschool's first football game of the season, and, suprise surprise, my social skills have gone to absolute shit. I don't want to be this sperging mess once I start college, so I was like, "Shit, I need to go to social events to brush up on my skills." But I honestly don't even know where to start. Most of the events I know about are non-socializing social events, like art shows, jazz concerts, and movies. Do places where strangers just go to socialize even exist?

Also, fuck me for not being able to spell "socialize."

Stop working from home, get an office job or something just so you can socialize with people. I used to work from home for a little bit, trust me, it's not something you want to do.

>What's the latest in the world of anon?
Went out last night and ended up hooking up with my ex-girlfriend. It was really nice but now I'm tired and I'm realising I've missed the intimacy.

>What are the positive aspects of your life as of late?
I'm working a job that I really like and I still have enough free time to do the things I want to do. I could be making more money but life isn't bad.

>What are the negative aspects of your life as of late?
Hm. I lead a decent life. I wish I had my own place but it's not that big of a deal at this point in my life. I'm an emotionally switched off person. I have trouble genuinely connecting with people. That's why I'm feeling a little blue right; hooking up with someone I did share something with. It's always going to mean something, you know?

>How do they compare with the past?
I think our problems differ from year to year. We're always in a flux of positive of negative.

That's just life, brother. Can't win 'em all.
