I could not reply last time, I had a 4chan connection issue when posting. My Adblock was the issue.

How does the world work, because I do not understand it
> Went to Uni, studied in the field of STEM
> Got a stable job, with a 6 figure salary
> Got enough time off, I do not work 24/7
> Got a house, got a car, got my retirement plan set
> I'm a great cook, I dress well (not sure about my looks)
Yet, I'm still single and a kissless virigin.
I thought women wanted a man who's stable, not some Chad or Brad dude.

Well they don't exactly come to you.

Sometimes that's the case but you do unfortunately have to seek them out yourself.

O.P here.
I have not clue how to approach women or how to get things started.
I have lived a sheltered life. My parents did not allow me any freedom.
I skipped over my teen years.
I skipped over my 20-something year.
All I did was study or work.
I have never developed social skills.
>>
>>18450351

You seem to know how the world works, then. Start going out, make friends, develop a social circle and some social skills. Eventually you'll meet someone.

My cousin is engaged to a guy and she loves him and he loves her too much,but he got in a car accident and can't walk good anymore (he can walk, just not normally),and my mother and my aunt have been trying to convince her to leave him because they fear he won't be perfect with her. She doesn't want to leave him because she loves him,but you know parents trying to convince. They're scared,"how will he walk with you in your wedding?" "how will he walk with you when you go out?"

As long as he's not dependent on her for walking, what's the big deal? If he needed constant care that would be different but even then, it's pretty shitty to just cast him aside over something he can't help.
>>
>>18450291
So, what's your question?
>>
>>18450291
Your mother and aunt are being silly. Actually, no, they're being mean-spirited, meddling, busybodies who should mind their own fucking business. Even better yet, they should support your cousin and her fiancee during their trying times.
You can tell them I said so on the internet.

Well, the girl I've had the most feelings for in my life just went home with another colleague...

Though the simple sight of dating a colleague will be sad to you, I don't know. Never before did I feel pleasure being around a person. And never before would I have asked help (for a specific person) on the internet, especially /adv/ that I never browse. Never before have I met a girl at this level of smart, pretty and funny. And while at the present, I'm not even so dull, well, I kinda feel the blow.

I'm kind of feeling like it can only go better from now on, but seriously, is that even close to true?

I got not friends, full virgin, 24 yo mediocre engineering student (though in a good school)...
Doing this internship, I've had "doubts" about those two having a thing for maybe 2 months. But tonight after drinking, they both when off at her place (and he lives far far away from hers). Well, again I don't feel like I'm mad, let alone sad. I just feel this nothingness of reality right in the middle of my being.

Why the fuck am I always so self centered? Why the fuck is it so difficult for me to go towards people (especially girls)? Why the fuck am I still such a fucking piece of shit noob? Can you imagine being a full virgin (never kissed a girl) at 24? I'm not even small for fuck's sake.

Well, I can't suicide now because they could link it to me finding out their relationship. But fuck, I wish I knew the fuck is this world, again, for me.

How are you feeling today?
What are we learning in this board? Do people really read our shit? Why would they do so? Can I stop caring and breathing all at once and never wake up?

Because you have no one to care about. Let me guess: your hobbies are solitary, things you do by yourself. Maybe you share with communities online, but a get together every weekend is not gonna happen, right?

Why are there only these two options?

Because STEM. Skills and classes aren't very transferable so you can't easily switch major or to a different career, and if you drop out you've wasted time and money.

okay, but wouldn't it make more sense to just accept that loss then to kill your self?

Been with my girl for 7 years. She doesn't seem to care anymore when I'm angry with her or if she hurts my feelings. She tries to justify everything and argues back with me and discredits why I'm feeling a certain type of way instead of trying to understand why I'm angry and tries to defuse the situation. Does this sound selfish of me for feeling this way?


TLDR: When she's mad, I shut up and listen, and try not to escalate the situation. When I'M mad, she argues, kicks & screams with me until she forcefully says sorry without sounding sorry at all.

Where the fuck do I meet single women? I am 27 and I feel like meeting women is impossible. I am not looking for hooks up either.

What are my options? It seems like as I age, the pool of dateable women shrinks. Women more likely to have a boyfriend.

It's frustrating because every girl I have tried to date has lead me on, lied in someway about herself, or wasn't interested.

I yearn fior that feeling of reciprocated attraction. Fuck....

>>18449855

women are people, and in case you havent noticed people are literally everywhere.

unfortunately unless you want to go to 'singles events' you are not going to find a room filled with single women wanting to be approached by men. where do you live? by knowing where you live we can begin to narrow down your options and the lifestyle of the area.

but as a general rule, bars are not a bad place to start, just don't go to a 'party' bar or a club.

but beyond that what most people do is go to local events that cater to their interests and just talk to women there and everywhere else they go in life.

I'm addicted to him.

It's been 5 years, we always end up fighting but I need to talk to him everyday and I feel like he is a drug to me. He says bad things to me and I say bad things back but I always end up running back to him. Is there something wrong with me? I don't understand how other people move on with break ups because this person means so much to me. I've never felt anything close for anybody else and I've told him things I never told anyone else. Do I have some problem? Because I can't go without talking to him and he can't go without talking to me. In the last 5 years the most we have been away from eachother was a week.

I want to relax in social situations without drinking, something to stop my anxieties and thoughts from racing. Any ideas?

>>18449759
Just remember that we are all slightly evolved apes that generally respond in typical ways positively or negatively based on how well it seems that you can provide support for the said human to accumulate the ability to survive and obtain power. Find a way to offer that to people -within a social situation- and you shall no longer see them as gods that wish to play with you and smite you, but rather as animals that will respond positively -or negatively- to particular statements and actions. You wouldn't get nervous around a dog or cat, would you? So why a human?


I apologize if this is a tad incoherent, but this was the only way to express a thought that enabled me to go from a person with absolutely no friends and was always alone to a person who sort of commanded a unit of people socially.
>>
It's a process
Force yourself to show up sober if you do pre drinks.
If not don't drink for the first half hour or hour and expose yourself to the anxieties that you encounter. Do this until you're able to handle them.
Next show up but don't drink until you're anxieties have become tolerable and you are able to handle them.

Some things to remember, don't expect your anxiety to go away by doing this, this is training yourself to handle your anxieties better. It will take effort and a while, make more opportunities to be able to do this and make them as often as possible. Also look into exposure therapy which is pretty much what I've said but you can do it with everything that causes your anxieties.

My little brother (14) has taken interest in robotics and wants to learn how to code and play with different programs. He is already in a robotics program for next year but he wants to be a few steps in advance.

I don't know jackshit about coding/programming and I'm trying to evaluate my options:

1. Sign him up for a online class. What I had in mind is the Unity/Unreal Engine 4 beginner course on udemy. He will get to learn about coding but at the same time, have some fun and maybe make a littlr game. I think it's better because it won't be too abstract.

2. The other thing I found is some sort of coding bootcamp where he will learn to code with actual teachers.

What should I take?

Obviously everybody will learn differently.
Personally I would recommend before everything else to try learning Python. It's a simple programming/scripting language that can be used for pretty much everything and will teach you the basics of coding. Personally when I first learned to code I started with Java- bad idea. All I wanted to do was make minecraft mods and big games, so I went on youtube and copied tutorials on how to make games with no knowledge of what was actually going on. This is just a pathway to failure and I'm surprised I continued really.

In my opinion, I'd say he should start with learning Python to learn the basics of coding, make a few programs, copy code from online and mess with it to see what effect it has on the program, etc etc. Then he should move on to another language that's best suited to what he wants to do (in this case, robotics) and learn that. That's all the advice I can give
>>
>>18449662
First of all, you are a terrific brother. Your parents must be so proud to have such a caring brother.

When I was 16 I tried programming on my own time. I hated it and didn't touch it again until I was 19 in college (to which I ended up loving it and getting a career out of it). I wouldn't have liked it so much if it weren't for a professor drilling new concepts into my brain every week.

My suggestion: Get him a tutor of some sort. You're on the right track by looking into bootcamps. As long as there is a teacher, he will succeed. Some bootcamps are expensive and usually assume students are young adults. You can also look into summer code camps.

Good luck!
>>
>>18449662
If he's doing First Robotics Competition with his school, then I know stuff about that. I work with the highschool team in my town. I'd find out what they use to program the robot and have him learn that. It'll either be Java or C++. Maybe LabView but I'd hope not. Also, make sure he understands the concepts behind programming and not just syntax. Consider buying him a book. Also, you're a great brother. Keep doing what you're doing.

I need to stop doing this, but I just can't stop smiling/laughing, when I have a conversation with people and when I look into their eyes. I can't hold it somehow even if it's a serious conversation. I need to hold eyecontact in this job if I want it. But it's impossible for me. It's like that since I was a kid. When the teacher said "Look at my eyes, when I talk with you", but when I did that, I couldn't hold my laugh, thus she punished me even more.

No one takes me serious because of this. I hate this and I want it gone.

What is wrong with me?

You're reacting entirely naturally, just more strongly than people usually do. It's normal to smile/laugh when you look someone in the eyes, babies do it all the time, children play games where they look each other in the eyes and see who has to laugh or grin first. Your reflex just seems to be stronger than it is for most other people.

I see but I can't hold eyecontact with people and I can't control it

Maybe try containing it to just a smile?

Hello guys
im 20 years old from a 3rd world shithole please excuse and expect any grammatical errors from here
i just graduated with an associate degree (i know who the fuck wastes their time getting such a useless degree but we'll get to that later)
and im from a middle class family but as things currently are now, my family have ran into so many debts and internal problems
so my parents asked me, not directly but they're suggesting implicitly that i stop studying and convincing me that what i've achieved is enough to land me into some nice job here where the pay is shit and standards are too high
basically the jobs they want for me and MY ONLY OPTIONS are Call Centers (no im not from india) and a work abroad in japan or korea as a factory worker or a welder
now im not being picky but i don't want to do any of that and be stuck with those jobs for the rest of my life
They don't want me to apply for low tier jobs because being a middle class family their expectations for me is quiet high and there's some sort of competitions among families here which is whose children has the best jobs
now i don't know what to do with my life
i want to continue my studies for various reasons like what i studied is my passion and i want to learn more about it (web designing, graphics designing, blahblah) and i can't get my dream job or at least get my foot on the door with an associate degree

so TL;DR
from 3rd world shithole, family facing financial problems, my studies are affected, they want me to apply for shitty jobs, i want to continue studying
How do i convince them to let me continue my studies?

should i just go accept the job abroad (dont worry weabs i wont taint the jap genes im too socially autistic to socialize)
or there's a chance that i can convince my parents to keep on investing on my education even though they're clearly against it (the face they made when i insisted ONCE that i want to keep studying suggests that they really don't want to support me on this path)

call centers fucking sucks i've already applied on one and i bombed the interview
>>
>>18449617
Do part time. Get a job that maybe low tier for the moment, and just juggle studies with work. You may take longer to get through school, but at least your parents will be satisfied for the moment with the extra income. The more schoolwork you accomplish, the better off you'll be long term.

Not to sound silly, but should you keep approaching/start a conversations with girls like this if you aren't a "Chad" ?

Not to generalize, but I've spoken to quite a few girls who look and dress similar to this girl and they reject me.

Maybe these girls don't like me due to how I talk, maybe it's my voice or how friendly I act.

I won't say it's because I'm ugly, because I've seen guys who look worse than me walk around with gorgeous girls frequently.

I admit that I might be the problem.

The only hobbies I have are playing acoustic guitar, weightlifting (started having these hobbies a month ago).

I play videogames 2 hours a day, I'm taking driving lessons and help my parents pay the bills.

Should I become a man that these girls might/most likely want ?

Should I learn from PUA's ?

Would becoming muscular and maybe getting a tatoo (most women like bad boys) also improve my chances ?

Should I try to get my license and move out sooner too also improve my chances with women.

I'm not asking these questions on purpose, I truly feel that I can't attract these girls for who I am right now.

No girl is out of your league, but at the same time I totally get you. For some reason I can only pull women that float around my level of what I've already dealt with, even if I don't want them. Yet if I go after a legit hotter girl that shit is a minefield. And like OP it happens all time. I dunno, I guess my unconscious body movements turn them off I dunno.

There's something about this guys face that agitates the shit out of me. I feel like I've been transported into a HS bullies body because I just want to teabag this faggot so goddamn hard. It's the unwashed innocence and wet nerdiness of his face that drives me the craziest I think. He has the gayest curly hair in existence, pale ass skin, and a gummy smile that screams "I've had a homosexual experience"

why do I feel this rage? I'm a 26 year old man, I shouldn't care, and yet I do. I hate this person without knowing anything about him. I simply find him kind of gross and painfully naive, and this agitates me for some reason.

why
