So I'm fairly certain a friend of mine has developed some form of psychosis. While I'm nowhere near an expert on the topic, he sure seems to be starting to show quite a lot of the schizophrenia like symptoms. For example a few weeks ago he stated that at one point he turned off the oven light with his mind, he also asked another friend of mine if he can hear his thoughts and that he (first friend) often hears his thoughts in a form of an external voice speaking to him. He's also very paranoid that the illuminati are targeting him for trying to 'better the world'. He was a daily weed smoker till about two months or so ago when he quit, but I'm affraid the damage of weed only escalating the progeress of his..oddness had already been done. Slowly but steady his whole behaviour has been changing from week to week. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? I feel that if we simply confront him about it he would only get even more distant and alienated, however we also need to make something asap

Get him into therapy. The earlier the better. If you do it as he's just having his first break it's likely it'll be his only episode. If you do not, he may get better on his own (psychosis is not black and white), but if he doesn't, his prognosis will be far worse than if you helped him into therapy now.

What is a good way to ask a girl out that I've been talking to for a couple of weeks now, I'm not sure whether I should just ask her out or give a reason/compliment as well such as "You're nice to talk to, I'd like to take you out some time". This seems super trivial but its important to me because who the fuck knows this could be my future wife. Just looking for some feedback.

This mindset means you are in for a very, very hard love life. How old are you? 18? 20?

Chill, don't be Ted Mosby. Going on a date should be fun by itself. Just doing something together. Don't make plans and just ask yourself: Would it be fun to go out with her? Would she say "yes" to hanghing out even as friends?
>>
>>18232756

I'm actually in my mid 20's, about 6 months out of a 3+ year relationship. I get what you're saying, Its really not that big of a deal but given its been a long time since I've taken someone out for the first time I wanted some advice.

I do feel as though she would say yes, thats why I've been trying to think of an ideal way to pop the question, when I guess just asking her straight up would work equally as well.

So I have a pretty big nose. It looks very Jewish and I'm pretty self conscious about it even though most people don't comment and I'm able to attract females.
My question is does anybody know any methods that work for reducing the size of your nose? Like does the pushing/squeezing method work or do I need to get a nose job in the future?

Look into nose fillers/injections. They can sometimes be a quick fix and make it look less bad, and it costs way less than surgery. usually lasts about 9 months.
>>
>>18232727
>does the pushing/squeezing method work

Likely not. It's fucking bone and cartilage. If you poke or sqeeze your knee, you think it's going to shrink or just become uncomfortable? Greek beaks, or English bridge noses are nice. Don't sweat small shit like that. Most people that get nose jobs don't need them; look fine before. Eventually you will come to accept yourself for who you are, and your nose won't matter. You're just human. No one is perfect.
>>
A big nose is not as noticeable as a bad nose job.

Be happy with what you have.

How do I get myself to enter the gym? I already payed for membership but haven't even gone yet in 2 weeks. I'm going to be completely lost and I'm so clumsy I'll probably hurt myself or others with the weights.
11 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>18232717
don't compare yourself to others, low weights but more reps= fat loss/heavy weights less reps=muscle gain
>>
First of all, try not to worry about your first time - it's gonna be pretty daunting walking through those doors to start with, but once you're in that's the hardest part over and done with! Next, just start with the machines - there's usually instructions or a visual guide for how to use it (alternatively don't be afraid to ask staff or someone who looks like they know what they're doing), and it's very difficult to do anything wrong when using them. Maybe look up some exercises online before you go so you have an idea of what you want to do, but I'd definitely recommend just starting with the machines to build up your base strength first, and you can go on to free weights later when you have a better idea of what you're doing. Finally, don't worry about what anyone else there thinks, people may glance over at you if you're new but they won't be judging you - in fact a lot of veteran gym-goers are pleased to see people starting up because it shows that you want to improve yourself. So don't worry too much about feeling self-conscious (it's natural to feel a bit nervous), just plug your headphones in, pick an exercise, and have a good time! Best of luck friendo!
>>
>>18232732
Also, as this guy says, think about what you want to achieve in the gym.

If you want to get strong: 6-8 reps heavy weight
If you want to get big: 10-15 reps at medium weight
If you want to burn fat: 15+ reps at a manageable weight.

To begin with though, just do about 3 sets of 10 reps and build it up from there. As a newbie, pretty much anything you do in the gym will build muscle if you're eating right!

My internet router isn't working and I'm not savvy with technology. All I know is as you can see the power/globe symbol is a solid red and the wifi blinks on and off red. I've looked online and nothing seems to explain what to do, my searches just tell me that my router has failed to establish a connection (but doesn't tell me how to fix it).

I have a feeling this might be a laughably easy fix but I really just haven't the slightest clue on what to do. I hope one of you younger folk on /adv might be able to help me out.

I am growing cherry tomatoes from seeds in a container with a tomato cage this year. I didn't think I'd have much success, so I poked a few holes in the soil, put in 2 to 3 seeds, and waited a week. To my surprise, everything worked better than expected and all the seeds sprouted, resulting in many tiny cherry tomato seedlings.

Wtf do I do with all the seedlings? I just want one plant. Do I wait to see who's the strongest seedling? Or do I pluck out the seedlings I don't want? Are they edible? Will they make me sick if I eat them?

I'm unlovable and hopeless.

If I can get someone to marry me it will be a dead end. I'm foolish. I'm bland. My exes got over me so fast and I'm still here heartbroken. All the dates I've gotten cancel on me or go shitty. I've tried for years upon years.

Therapy didn't help. Medication didn't help. There's nothing I can do. I am worthless and hopeless. The last life goal I have left is marrying someone I love and having a family, but my relationships are always lopsided.

Is going to College when you are 25 acceptable?

I already have a few years of experience as a web developer, but I have a feeling not having a degree will push me back in the future. I was thinking on doing an account or finance degree and working half-time as a developer (even though college is free in my country).

Anyone has similar experience?

I've masturbated two or three times a day out of anger and sadness all my life and I'll stop for a few days but it makes me feel worse. How do I start having real sex? I had the chance when I had a job but was confused about it and left the job and now I can't get another job. Am I just being paranoid thinking everyone is in touch with everyone else but me? My grandad wants my mom to take me to a counselor but she thinks she should be the one even though she has a job she likes and a boyfriend and a drivers license. I'm almost 28 and I left my gf when I was fourteen and I held the hope of seeing her again for ten years before that shit at work happened

The deal is I am 23 and my partner 20.
Have been together for 8 months.
I have vowed to her that i will be with her for life and stand by her no matter what, i do truely love her and i havnt had a thought where theres doubt about us ever.
Her and i are a literally perfect match, we better each other, we care and love for each other, we do everything for each other and we have a countless number of things we do exactly the same.

The problem is her parents are standing in the way of our engagement because they think we are too young, havnt had enough life experience and dont know ourselves yet and because we (obviously due to age) dont have an aweful lot of money yet.

We don't let anything stop us from loving each other because love isn't materialistic, and we dont let materialistic things control our love.

What are your thoughts wise people?

Dear lord, hold back the thought for a moment. My sister actually got her dumb self married at 25 with no career and her husband was jobless at the time... They are currently still paying off the loans in which they had to take for the marriage to work, their student loans, and now a house they bought recently.

You mentioned you were not financially sound, therefore, you are not in a position to speak for yourself. You need to understand that marriage is not just an agreement upon love, it is an economical pact as well that binds your financial position to hers and vice-versa.

Just wait. Be patient. Marriage is something that SHOULD be planned economically not emotionally.
>>
Obviously too young.

If you two do have such a strong connection with each other, engagement is not going to add anything. That's my POV.

8 months doesn't sound like much either. If you think about it, you haven't been through all 4 seasons with her by your side. It's only natural that you feel everyone is against your willing and is trying to ruin your life (been there).

But seriously, forget about the engagement thing and enjoy every day you get to be together.
>>
>>18232366
They're right.
You're too young, you've been together for too little.
If you truly love her and you're made to last, you can be together for a couple of years without getting married. It won't change anything.

Met my now girlfriend about three years ago. The first year was more of social circle acquaintance due to dating others at the time and distance.

We both get single. I move closer for work. Start spending more time together. What caught me off guard was that we got along so well compared to women I dated in the past.

Then her friend comes into the picture and this girl starts prioritizing her more and more. New "fun friends", the things we talked about doing weren't as fun anymore. The influence was strong. I could tell it was going south and asked her what's up- "I don't want a relationship right now". Told her I'd see her around and left the picture

Few months later she comes back and wants to start over. Coincidentally this friend meets a new guy and has no time for her. She really put in the effort so I agreed to date officially this time. I guess I forgave but definitely didn't forget. As she's falling more in love with me or atleast getting super attached, I keep thinking that I'm some fallback plan here. The plan B.

In the beginning before the "break" I thought wow I could marry this chick, but now I'm having my doubts for the long term if something else comes up in the future

How old are you?

It's perfectly normal for somebody to avoid a long term, serious, settled relationship in order to live a life without commitment. A lot of people on here will call this "riding the cock carousel" but this isn't always the case. It can be a matter of career, lifestyle, travelling - all the things that being in a long term relationship can have a serious effect on.

Only you know how long term your relationship feels. Although I don't think it's wrong to end a relationship (or take a break) if it doesn't feel right to you at the time, I probably wouldn't take a break from a relationship I was genuinely happy in. It doesn't really sound like you had a "break" though, more like she changed her mind about what she wanted very early in.

The fact is, she came back to you. She obviously wants to consider a relationship with you at the moment which suggests she likes you. Only you know how genuine she is as a person. It might be that she's settling with you after an attempt at securing something else, but nobody here can tell you whether that's the case.

Personally, I would avoid this because it sounds like a liability. What if this person comes back into her life and she suddenly decides that she doesn't want to be with you again, only years into a settled relationship?
