Sounds like you just need to practice more
I got mine at 24 and had major anxiety about it in the weeks leading up to and the actual test and I ended up acing the written portion and only had one fault on the driving because some fucking kids were playing in the street.

Make sure you focus on the faults that are causing your fails the most.

Practice. Lessons only teach you shit, practice helps you perfect it.

Also consider going elsewhere to sit your test. The testers where I live are notorious for failing people for the most minor bullshit; they failed my neighbor for not indicating with her hand which isn't even a requirement in this day and age.

>>18707088
I also failed mine 3 times.

Do you assume the worst in every situation? Some people genuinely are too busy to have the time and energy to put into a relationship.

She's not interested. Doesn't matter why. Find another girl.

>>18706923
Unless she's like a med school student or a fresh out of law school lawyer working 80-hour weeks to try and make partner, you HAVE the time for a relationship if you actually want it.

take less drugs, get more sunlight, sleep at correct times, take up exercising, talk to people more often and work on your social skills. read books about social skills. "how to make friends and influence people" is a classic and decent start. Eat better foods, eat foods around people. spend less time on computer and more time irl. etc.

idfk op lifes hard ok.

why do you want to learn how to want to have friends if you don't want to have friends?

>>18706964
Because I'm lonely.

Find me a greater line-up than this that isn't America. Find me something remotley like this from South America + Mexio. Use the whole continent + Mexico, idc.

Who are you, a presumably monoracial chick, to question him who has way more experience with racial matters than you?

If he doesn't want to be associated brown little spics, maybe there's a good reason for it.

I'm ethnically Chilean, danish, and german even a little bit french.

I hate talking about my ethnicity because idk anything about them and idc but people always seems interested and I couldn't give two fucks and always end up being forced to tell abou myself which I hate. for gods sake I can' even speak the languages and really don't mind it anyways.

I genuinly don't know any other way.

YOU leave the house and cut off her only source of funding.

>>18706864
If she doesn't want it herself, then there is nothing you can do. If your mom is like mine, she won't take you seriously because you're still her child.

>I've been single for the last four years
Ha, try changing the for the last for yours to ''since I was born''
stop crying about it, either work for it or dont, you're not entitled to it

>>18706887
To be fair, my ex wasn't very attractive and I broke up with her after she cheated on me with another guy so it's not as though it was a great time towards the end.

>>18706911
why not rub it in her face by getting a girl better than she ever was

Actually the quickest way to get in her pants i through her ears. Speak to her a lot. Make her feel like you two have a deep connection. Make her laugh. Listen to her. But don't be her 'friend', make sure she knows or at least strongly suspects your intentions.

A little bit of alcohol also helps as a social lubricant. But not too much, or it'll ruin everything.

>>18706845
Actually, as >>18706855 hinted, the quickest way to a girl's heart is through liquor. Candy's dandy, but liquor's quicker.

>>18706855
>>18706857
Would it be possible to get her tipsy (or wasted) with a diet coke in your hand?

They probably thought you were mocking them? Try a better conversation starter that doesn't involve criticizing others to strangers?

fuck you're probably right

god dammit now i'm worried I might genuinely have autism

what's a good conversation starter

Bro who the fuck cares. At least you tried, keep your head up and keep going at it. The only way you lose at this point is if you let this one small interaction matter more than it should.

>>18706781
For:
>has talked about other guys but only because I ask
>gets on her phone near the end of our hang outs could be bored or could also be that she's disappointed I didn't make a move
>complains about situations I couldn't possibly improve
>gives me shit for being a smoker despite having unhealthy habits of her own

Against:
>Isn't embarrassed to be seen with me
>compliments me on my looks
>makes an effort to look nice when she's going to see me
>has no problem making conversation when we meet face to face

Anyone?

>>18706781
Being an orbiter has little to do with her after rejecting your romantic advances. There is only 1 thing that matters:

Do you hang out with her because you GENUINELY like her company as a FRIEND or are you only hanging around because you hope you'll change her mind about the "just wanted to be friends" thing?
>if the former, congratulations, you aren't an orbiter
>if the latter, sorry buddy, you're an orbiter

>>18706832
It would be dishonest to claim that sex isn't on my mind but it's not my primary objective and I'd already had sex with her multiple times in our youth. I sought her out because I enjoyed spending time with her despite how things ended and really didn't get to know her all that well before shit blew up.

Have your sister apply independently, they're not gonna like you once you leave. But leave anyway, you owe no allegiance to these people and you'll need only be sacrificing money and happiness to appease the feelings of some corporate faggots who really don't care either way

>>18706788
Take the better job, like the anon above suggested. Sure you may "bum out" whoever is hiring you, but in the end they don't care that much. You need to look out for yourself, you don't owe anyone anything, and stop worrying about it bro.

>>18706788

Where on campus can I meet girls who don't smoke, drink, party, are virgins, wants something serious, and aren't fat? Obviously I'm all of those too but anywhere I'd think of looking including my major is male dominated. What are my options if I'm pretty introverted but willing to go out of my comfort zone

>>18706794
Yes, not that they'll give you their virginity.
>there's a reason they haven't had sex
>You'll probably have to start going to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or something

My advice is to find a girl who's just not a slut (watch her a little bit without being creepy) and wrap it up the first few times even if she says she's on birth control.

For the guys: I have a Dutch Shepherd. We do (non-competitively) advanced obedience, scent tracking, urban herding, and more. Are either of these unattractive? I'd never give my dog away just to be more attractive to men. I just want to know what you think.

Punch him in the face every time he eats loudly.

>>18706600
Just try not to be around him when he's eating. You really can't call him out on this without sounding like a prick, because he's not actually doing anything wrong.

It's tough to share your living space with another person. There are always gonna be little habits and things they do that piss you off. That's basically the exchange you're making for cheaper rent. You just gotta deal with it. If you start calling each other out on all these little things, you're going to live in a 24/7 fight and it'll be unpleasant for both of you.

There's really no way..? I mean, I can't run away with my laptop in hand anytime he enters the room with a plate.

It's really the only thing I mind about any of my housemates. Just him, just his eating. The other things I can live with, you know?

I really struggle with regret and guilt over wasted time, to the point it causes me to waste time, procrastinate, and have no energy to get stuff done. Probably a carry over from my musical background where I never felt I was practicing/writing/playing enough. I no longer play, so that anxiety has just rolled over into all aspects of my life.

Im 28 and pretty much feel like my life is over cause Ive already wasted too much time.

>inb4 it is

I dunno what's wrong with me but I've become so autistic that I don't even feel like talking to people or making friends anymore. I sometimes completely ignore people or only respond a few seconds after they say something because I'm not expecting to interact with anyone. Any time I try to make friends I just dont have the desire to keep in touch with them or go out and do things with them. I think I'm probably going to kms eventually because my autism is too concentrated for human life

>>18706500
Dude, I used to be like this too until I realized I was just over analyzing things. The less you care about what people think of you, the better.
