normies don't want to hang out with people with no friends

not because they are judgmental, but most people who have no friends are way way too clingy and desperate, to a point of invasiveness
>>
>>18310978
Yeah, I guess I can get that.

It just makes it hard. I feel so lonely.

How do I come to terms with the idea that it may not be in the cards for me to have friends?
>>
>>18310961
Don't panic.
Married couples do have lots of legitimate social obligations - family, kids, whatever.
Give it a couple of weeks off and try again.

Meanwhile, what you did worked so do it again. Get involved in group activities, especially something that interests you (so that even if you don't meet anyone you'll still have a good time)

Join a club, take a non-academic class (cooking, art appreciation, etc), do volunteer work, go to music clubs/bars. Everyone there will be interested in the same thing you are, so there will be a point of connection from the start.

I was just playing along with her joke.

This entire conversation reeks of childish.

>>18310944

She's just playing hard to get. Play along and say something assuring like "I'm absolutely sure I'll enjoy your company. That's why I asked you out." or something. She's fishing for complements.

I dont know what to do. I've been in this really down state 3 times a week for 2 years now. I don't want my parents knowing i take antidepressant if prescribed or that i feel this way. I try talking it out but i got attached to this girl and now i can't tell her up front either. I'm just really alone. I commute to University from home and I wish i could just run away and kill myself without anyone finding out. Any help or advice ? Thanks in advance

So I might've fucked up, maybe I'm just lonely or something but I met a girl off tinder and we agreed to see each other for the month sense we're both leaving the country, I found myself really attracted to her, not just sexually but we click on a lot of different levels. We spent the day together on Wednesday and now she keeps canceling and said won't be available until the day I fly out. Am I a fool for feeling this way so soon when I already know the outcome?

I wanna buy a gun. A pistol or something.
I know precisely fuck all about guns, but I want a gun that doesn't scream "I know precisely fuck all about guns".

Any suggestions?
8 posts and 2 images submitted.

>>18310757
before buying a gun I recommend taking a few courses on the basics of guns and safety. Stop at your local gun shop and ask about them in person as you'll get more viable information from more knowledgeable people. They're pretty cheap compared to the gun itself but they are infinitely more valuable.
>>
>>18310770
Make no mistake, some training is on the agenda. I'm not Jamal over here who buys a gun from a pawn shop and automatically thinks he's Carl fucking Johnson.
>>
Buy a 1911 pistol if u can those look cool.
The first gun i brought was a sks. Anyways i took it home and was looking at it pulled on the bolt and it fell in half. Had to take it back the shop guys hadnt assembled it right with the new stock. Just pick something you want then buy the manual and read up how to strip it and clean it. Only way your gonna learn is by getting guns and learning shit about them.

22 y/o virgin who's never landed a date in his life, here. I have a habit of oversharing and giving unnecessary details, but I feel like I shouldn't leave a single detail out, so buckle up.

>Have 2 Bio classes at uni with cute girl
>Ride in the same car during 2 class trips and talk with her a bit
>I ask her for help with part of a project
>I get her number when she asks for help on another part of the same project a few weeks later
>Approach her and a couple of her friends after class, work with them, end up invited (by a friend of hers, but she's happy when I say yes) to a study session for our lab final
>Sit next to her the whole time and flirt every once and a while, especially the couple of times we're alone
>Make a few jokes, do some light teasing, that kind of shit
>I think she's responding positively but I'm autistic as fuck so I have no idea if she really is or I'm imagining it
>Text her after the exam, ask her how she thinks she did, etc, and then suggest that we all have another study session this weekend before our lecture final
>She says that sounds good and agrees to get back to me if she can make it
>This was 2 days ago and she still hasn't said anything

I have 2 questions.

1. Should I text her tomorrow afternoon and ask her if she can make it or should I continue to wait and hope for a response?

2. Assuming she does make it, my plan is to keep talking to her after finals are over. My problem is that I don't really know how to start a conversation through text that doesn't begin with talking about class. Any time I try to think of how to start a conversation with no lead-in like that, I feel like it comes across as way too forced and awkward. Any advice for starting relaxed, friendly dialogue that isn't awkward and forced?

1) yeah, definitely text her tomorrow, but not any sooner, just to see if she's up for it, if she doesn't respond then you pretty much have your answer, you were just someone convenient to talk to.
2) if the date/hangin out does go through, and you see that she is willing to keep in contact, easiest way to open up conversation is sending normie memes that she may appreciate, or you know, asking how she is. pretty safe conversation starters.

just don't act too desperate, or clingy. if she doesn't respond back to a text, don't spam her with three messages after. don't ask to chill everyday or too often, don't overshare as well, and make it out like she's the only thing going in your life (even if that is the case). you'll be fine, my dude, either way. if she rejects you, always thots on tinder lmao. best of luck.
>>
>>18310779
oops, *don't make it out like she is the only thing going on in your life.
>>
>>18310779
Thanks. I'm not too worried about seeming clingy though, because I've sure as hell made that mistake before. I've been deliberately very slow in responding to most her texts and am only texting her every couple of days.

I'm kind of meek, but can be assertive when the situation calls for it. Often I just please people. How can I interact better and be more dominant?

I had the same exact issue and as fucking dumb as it sounds, it works.

Start faking arrogance. Act confident, but confident to the point it's a fucking joke. For example,
>get a compliment
>"Thank you, I'm the greatest fucking person on earth. Better than you too."
It slowly turns into genuine confidence, girls see it as being an assertive asshole which is attractive in a way and it's funny.

It does sound fucking dumb.

>>18310762
It's basically fucking retarded...
... But it worked. For me at least.

Im obsessing over a girl who doesn't know me and who i havent seen in 3 years.

>inb4 get over her faggot

Can't do that. I just dont want to be this creepy stalker for the rest of my life. No other girl has ever made me feel this way. Im a total loser and she's sort of not a loser.

What do i do adv should I message her should I not? What do I do? I know she's the love of my life

>love of your life
>doesn't know you exist

You're stupid, and deluded. Go ahead and message her, get the awkwardness out of the way so you can move on because you've fallen in love with some pretend, imagined version of some girl you're stalking.

>3 years

You waited way too fucking long for it to not be awkward. It's going to be. And she's not the love of your life, you just wish she was.
>>
>>18310683
It's not real and the second you experience real love that will be clear as day to you. I'd say follow your heart, but it really doesn't matter if it works out. Still, it's good for you to do what you gotta do
>>
>>18310683
no, you should get over her. Cut everything of and about her out of your life. you haven't seen her or heard from her in 3 years, you are devoting way too much time to someone who doesn't know you and its all been a complete waste. This is a bad obsession and you should go see a therapist because its very unhealthy. Someone who doesnt know you cant be the love of your life.

>The guy you've seen at the gym for years finally decides to start talking to you

Why did he do this? I feel awkward now, our relationship for years was based on completely ignoring each other, and now out of nowhere he decides to engage me in conversation? I don't like this.

My boss is the worst kind of shit disturber. Contantly berrating my fellow co-workers and I, putting me in situations where he knows I'll have difficulty or where I haven't been trained, even going so far as to whip me with a lanyard. I've had enough, so what's the best way to quit when your boss and is douchebag?

You write a letter telling them that you're resigning and when your last day will be. Thank them for the opportunities they have given you (even if they haven't given you any), and sign it "Regards, Anon"

I don't know if I want to join the army when I finish high school, or if I want to go to college. My grades aren't that great, and I don't have a lot of money, but I know that if I try hard enough, I can do it. But, then again, when he was young I wanted to join the army, and I still do, kind of. I don't fucking know.

Sorry, I'm a fucking dumbass
>>
>>18310555
Here's the thing, if you do go into the Army, they will control your life for at least six years, but you can choose what job you do so you don't have to be infantry (nor do I recommend it). After those six years though, you'll get to use the GI bill which will pay for your schooling. If I were in your shoes, I would enlist. Plus, while you're in, you don't make a lot of money but they provide food and housing so it's all take home and you get good insurance.
>>
That's kinda what I was thinking. I have an one of those edgy faggots from school as my friend. You know, the kind of kids that always say theyre going to shoot up the school, and believe in zombies? He says he's gonna enlist, and that i should too, because it'll pay for me to go to college, so yeah.

Lots of people don't feel bad for being assholes. Thats kind of what makes them assholes.
>>
>>18310505
I wasn't always an asshole though. I became more of an asshole the longer I spent socializing and the more I became an asshole, the better I got with women. They're all assholes too, but they have a pussy and I want that.

I haven't actually cucked this dude yet but it's inevitable. I'm just having a strange feeling because when I met the guy it was like looking at my past self.
>>
>>18310499
Well.... that's tough. I mean, it's not really your fault - it's on the person committed in a relationship. You're single; they're not. So it's on them. But then again, if you know they're in a relationship and you do it anyway, it's pretty inconsiderate to the other person in the relationship.

Sure, you don't know them, you probably won't meet them, but just imagine how they'd feel if they ever found out?

I mean, go ahead if you're either desperate for sex or just don't really care about the person's feelings. They probably won't find out if the cheater isn't completely stupid, so have at it.

Is it true that a bio degree is worse (in terms of employment and pay) than a psych, English, and even sociology degree?

unlikely
there are plenty of jobs in labs
>>
Any degree is what you make of it. If you're expecting to get a degree, do nothing else while you're a student and still land a job afterwards, you're a moron. This is true for any field, not just the ones you have listed.
>>
>>18310422
This.

But it all comes down to what you do in college. For ANY major, you need internships. Science degrees, it is even more critical that you have multiple internships under your belt before you graduate. You should have an internship no later than your junior year. One over each summer break, and one during the school year, for at least two years. Employers expect kids to have experience the day they graduate. The paper isn't enough anymore. Do your time in some labs and you won't have any trouble getting a job with a bio degree.

I'm 21 and I've come to the decision that I want a tattoo on my left arm. I've brought it up to my very catholic parents (who very fortunately well off and pay my entire college tuition, along with car insurance and other expenses) and they are completely against it. My mom said she would be ok with it after I have a full time job (which doesn't make any sense, it would be a small, easy to hide one on my arm which can be covered with sleeves, so job interviews are not a problem)

I've wanted a tattoo for a while and know a friend who does it and will give me a good price and I know does good work. The only person in my family with tattoos is my aunt and my grandfather who's passed.

I know the general advice is to just get one and not tell them but I'm not sure if it's the best decision to do that at my point of my life. I have the money and I really really want to get it done this summer. But I'm concerned they will disown me or take away certain privileges of mine like my car insurance (car is under my name) or my college tuition both of which I can't afford without taking out huge loans

Well, OP, that's the thing about being an adult and making adult decisions. You deal with the adult consequences of your decision. It's up to you. Risk the punishment of getting a tattoo, or wait to get one until you are entirely self-sufficient. There's a good chance you won't want the same tattoo, or maybe even one at all, by the time you are independent. This coming from someone with a lot of tattoos. The first few I ever got when I was your age--I don't regret them, but I do wish I had used the space the occupy more wisely. There are better things I'd like to do with where they are. But it's whatever.

Anyway, back to the point. If you truly, SERIOUSLY think they'd revoke all of the privileges and luxuries you have, then don't be a dumbass. Don't get a tattoo.
