Why do interracial relationships make me so uncomfortable? Is it wrong of me to feel this way, and why or why not?

I'm curious about general statements about people, not me specifically. Let me hear your thoughts.

Didn't we just have a 150 post thread about this a couple days ago?

Most people here hate race mixing because they're afraid of the white race going extinct or that their culture will be destroyed.

I don't personally have a beef about it but I'm mixed myself so it would be a bit self loathing. I think people should date or fuck whoever they want and I don't see whites or anyone else dying out because there will always be people who stick to their own race.

>>18344486
I mean it is pretty stupid that you concern yourself with who other people choose to be with.

So I mean objectively, it's a shitty attitude to hold, but what makes you uncomfortable makes you uncomfortable. If you don't like it, don't get into an interracial relationship.

We're tribalistic and thus are hardwired to despise degenerate activities and there's nothing more degenerate than beastiality.

Hi. I know you guys aren't neurological experts, but long story short, I was a pretty regular marijuana user from age 17 up until age 21. The heaviest I was at was when I picked up a dab rig, but I would only buy wax occasionally. As of the final week in April, I've thrown away everything.

I was psychologically addicted to weed for a while, as I used it as a coping mechanism when I was depressed and suicidal in high school.

I finally quit this spring for a lot of reasons; applying to graduate school, fear damaging my brain before it's completely developed, finances, feeling more critical of myself, panic attacks, and tired of being comfortable acting like social outcast (this was huge).

Since I threw my shit away I actually smoked three times out of my friends one hitter while we were out drinking. I thought I would wake up the next day feeling like buying a 40 sack, but no, the appeal is practically gone, that said I'm not going to even smoke if its offered to me anymore by friends, as I want it to be completely out of my life. It was nice weaning myself a bit, even though it's just weed. I've been eating better, exercising, and overall feeling much better than I did when I was smoking weed everyday. I know I made the right choice in the long run quitting before my brain is fully developed and using heavily for over 6 years (I hear this is when there is a significant increase in long term neurological damage).

To be completely honest though, I over analyze things (especially when I'm sober) and I am afraid I still have done some damage to my brain, even though I have no actual proof. I still feel a bit forgetful sometimes at work, even when thinking of words or names, although I did read up that the short term effects THC has on the brain can last 6-12 weeks.

tl;dr I quit weed after about 4.5-5 years of heavy marijuana use, and I finally quit cold turkey (or in the process more so), I am worried I did permanent damage. Am I being a worrisome faggot?

I'm not reading all that shit

Smoking before your early 20's absolutely alters the growth of the brain permanently.

You fucked up but it's probably not THAT bad and it's not like you can fix it now anyway.

>Am I being a worrisome faggot?
Yes. You're also just a plain ol' faggot who rambles. Your post could have been half as long as still accomplished the same amount of information.

>Imaging studies of marijuana’s impact on brain structure in humans have shown conflicting results. Some studies suggest regular marijuana use in adolescence is associated with altered connectivity and reduced volume of specific brain regions involved in a broad range of executive functions such as memory, learning, and impulse control compared to people who do not use. Other studies have not found significant structural differences between the brains of people who do and do not use the drug.

The point of the comic is to make rational decisions based on a person's history. By all means, take a history of infidelity into account when choosing a mate, but it does not follow to hate them for it. Your hatred has a different root cause.

A perfectly valid reason for not dating someone

>Not dating someone for being a "slut"
You're a hypocrite and a misogynist. No one will ever love you.

Why not. I am in a failing marriage. I am unable to support myself with my disabilities I can not get a job I am stuck in a body to just exist at this point. I have tried reaching out for help but none of the physchologists helped me and they just dismiss me saying that I am a narcissist rather than listening to what I have to say. I rely on my parents for money I have no friends or social skills and when I try I end up having to leave because of my health. I just want to let society benefit from me not being around and have one less person to take money from.

I was beaten up by a 10 year old and now everyone thinks I'm either a pussy or a bully. What should I do?

Sorry, details are long. So I'm 18 years old, 5'10 and 140lbs. Kid in pic strangling me with his legs is 10 years old and like 4'11, 60lbs (height is estimate, but his age and weight were mentioned).

Basically, what happened is I was hanging out with my "friends" when this kid ran over my foot with his bike, he claimed by accident. So I called after him and told him to clean the dirt off my shoes. He refused and so I started punching him.

So my "friends" started recording it and as you can see by the pic, he got the upper-hand and got his legs around my neck and started squeezing like crazy. I tapped out (and told him that I gave up verbally, while in tears) but he didn't let go and my "friends" weren't breaking it up, so I got knocked out wetting myself in the process.

My "friends" uploaded it to fb and now everyone knows I got knocked out by a 10 year old and wet myself. He even knocked out one of my front teeth from the punches.

What can I do to stop everyone thinking I'm a pussy or a jerk?

3/10 for making me reply

Been dating this guy for a month or so. Everything was great up until this point. He was respectful, sweet, smart, and I could tell he really liked me.

The other day he started to finger me and asked if I wanted to fool around. I said no because I didn't feel like it. He said "That's a first" and continued anyway. I didn't know what to say...he got on top and asked what I wanted. I said "I just want a hug" and he laughed and said "That's it?" and proceeded to take off my pants. I didn't know what to do, I just lay there not moving and when he got on top I was motionless and speechless the entire time - I thought this would discourage him because I'm usually very enthusiastic, but he didn't seem to even notice. I tried to move my arm but I'm really weak and he pinned me down. I started crying and turned my head away. When he finished I turned around and started sobbing quietly into his comforter. He noticed THEN and asked me what was wrong, but I couldn't verbalize it then and asked to go home.

Since then it's been a few days. He messaged me saying he's been thinking it over and know he's messed up because I said no and he didn't respect that - he said he thought I was just being coy. He has really high EQ and I don't know if I believe that he actually didn't know better or if he knew and did it anyway - especially since he himself said that he knew exactly why I became really upset.

I can't talk to anyone about this. I feel so stupid. He wanted to talk about it in person but for two days I felt too disgusted by him to even meet in person. I know he wants me to forgive him. Am I overreacting? Was it sexual assault? Does he not respect me?

How wrong of us is it to box out our drunken disaster of a friend from our annual group vacation when she's the reason the trip happened in the first place in the past?

She's going to see all of the social media posts and shit and realize she got kicked out.

Have you tried talking to her about being a drunk embarrassing mess? If you aren't condescending about it you have a chance at sparing her the shame of being excluded.
>>
>>18343038

not wrong at all imo, but there is going to be fallout, and how you handle that fall out is where the issue of morality really falls.
>>
you can't just not say anything to her. she probably doesn't know how much of problem/burden she tends to be. just say hey we all ganged up and talked about you behind your back and we think you're not fun at all to be around when you're super drunk, so we're going on this thing without you and we'll see how you act when we're back.

Ask them out.

Anywhere outside. Or online.

Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.

>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.

>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing.

No.

How do you effectively act distant to someone after a day of fuck up and embarrassment?

We are really close but I want to be left alone and have nothing to do with that person anymore.

I just don't want it to be obvious because that person will really notice the change in my attitude.

>single father to 4 year old daughter
>mother passed away shortly after birth, shock caused by c-section infection
>own a house, fully paid off
>work from home making $60,000~ a year. Very casual work: I have a lot of free time

Why am I so hesitant to date again? I'm confident and have my life sorted out, I just want companionship. Is it wrong to be on great terms with my late wife's family? What if I still visit her grave? Do women care if they'll be constantly reminded that I still love someone else?

You don't.
You can't.

There is nothing you can do to stop loving a girl or caring for her. However, there is stuff that might improve your life.

If other things in your life go well the unrequited love does not weight so much.
>>
think about the things you dislike about her more than the things you like, even if that makes you look like a bitch
>>
To further elaborate the situation
>Meet girl on social media
>I stay in US and she stays in France
>Talk all the time(instant messaging, video chats, calls)
>I was being distant at first but then one day she went "Can I tell you something? I think I love you."
>Took me by surprise, never heard this from a girl
>Say it back and both of us agree to meet one day
>Further down the line I realize myself getting jealous of the guys she's friends with on social media
>Tho she says she loves me a lot of guys are hitting her up and it has my imagination going wild
>Imagine I'm not the only guy she is talking to like she is
>Everyday constantly scared she'll hurt me and stalk her profile to see who she's to and if they're flirting with her
>Always jealous, nervous, mad etc etc because she talks to other men on social media but not all flirtsy
>Emotions are going crazy and head is always wondering what she's doing even tho she has assured me time and time again there is no one else and she loves me


I just want off this crazy ride. I want my life back. I tried to ignore her for a day but I broke down and had to hit her up I love her so much. Idk what to do I want my life back im tired of these feelings

Not all girls enjoy their bodies to through same ways.
Some girls have orgasms in the gym workng out, some are hetero but have lesbian fantasies.

Im a guy but my opinion: you need a partner for who you fall in love or some fantasy/fetish to get a better orgasm.
Just you can find it, probably through experimentation, but don't have high expectations, do it to enjoy your body.

It's totally fine.
Do what you want, as long as you enjoy doing it :)
Many people don't enjoy sexual things. It's really ok.

OK /adv/ here it goes. Now, I know that 4chan is perhaps the worst place on earth to ask for advice, find sympathy, seek catharsis, etc. However, I’ve lurked this site for like 3 years now, and I’ve gotten used to the community, and frankly I enjoy it.

I’ll post a TLDNR at the end of my story/rant and i’ll bump (with pics of my ideal thoreau-like end-game future innawoods or onnaboat) if things are getting slow because I actually want to put some effort into confiding in you anons.

OK, so, I just graduated with my masters degree from a small university near my home in an east-coast state. It’s a masters in theology (MDiv), essentially it’s the same degree that priests/pastors get when they want to serve a church. Here’s the thing, I’ve never been a member of a church in my entire adult life (I’m 29 btw). I got the degree thinking that applying for a job leading a church was a lot like applying for a job in software or at a business -- if you have the skills and education, then you would be considered. Not the case. The process for becoming a church priest/pastor involves you going to church as a layperson for several years while you “form bonds” at your local church level, with the leader there, and then they recommend you for the next steps towards leadership. Every local church I’ve been to is filled with old ladies, practically dying, and theologically very conservative. They really aren’t my cup of tea, and I don’t want to commute a long distance from my home just to go to church every Sunday and Wednesday (a usual day for Bible Study). Plus there’s no guarantee they’ll want to recommend me for what’s called “ordination,” that’s the process to becoming a paid Christian church leader.

So basically I feel like I have a pretty useless degree. I started it because I liked religions rituals, different cultures, the mythology, the philosophy of faith (essentially theology -- the study of God) and I wanted to HELP people. I come from an upper-middle class family and I wanted to give back to the universe for all the blessings I’ve had. But when I started my degree many of the classes were not based in history, philosophy, facts and study. Instead I ended up writing about my “feelings” a lot. You know, how has God touched you, do something creative with this paper, talk about your personal experience in this class as opposed to a critical analysis of your reading or lecture. Etc. etc. And frankly there was a lot of “Well all this book learnin’ ain’t helpful cause in mah church we do this and that… Now you might wanna talk about what it says in yo book BUT I JUST FEEL THAT (and at that point I wanna snap and throw some people against the wall).” So yeah, all of my graduate education has been pretty meh, and low information. Mostly just writing papers, but I try to keep them on point and academically sound. However, at a certain point they actually told me it would lower my grade if I didn’t get all mushy and personal. Well, so much for serious theological studies :( but I came out better informed than when I went in, so you could call that a net gain.

>TLDNR: I feel like my degree is pretty useless, it certainly didn't lead me smoothly into a career. It’s a theology degree so even though I liked a lot of what I studied, there were parts that were objectively useless and low information. I chose the degree because I wanted to help people and learn about philosophy and cultures and stuff.

So now, finally, to the problem. I’ve graduated, I’m officially a NEET. At 29. Living with my parents. I really don’t have many, if any, skills or experience. I’ve never held a job, even part-time, I’ve always been in school. At 23 I graduated college, spent about three years abroad teaching english and trying to “find myself,” then went into graduate school to become a priest (like I said, without ever really going to church). So now at 29, I’m without any other experience in my life other than volunteer work and school.

>TLDNR: So now that I’ve graduated I’m an old NEET with no paid work experience. Just a degree and three years of international volunteering from over six years ago.
