>they like me too

Literally that's the story, why would someone freak out over something so simple as people being friends

So I've kinda backed myself into a difficult and awkward situation. Some context first, I'm 19 and currently studying at university. I've had a bit of a rough time throughout school, was always kinda chubby and got heavily bullied leading to minor depression and as a result I've always had self-confidence issues. In an attempt to get over it all I've been hitting the gym and getting in shape, gone from 124kg down to 108kg in about 3 months.

Regardless, being the nerdy study all day and video games kinda guy as well as going to an all boys high school I've never had a relationship or even have a close female friend and really don't know how to interact with always has limited me to only small talk with girls at university, nothing really past coursework discussions.

I'm currently into the second year of my degree and I've liked this girl in my course for over a year now but never really talked to her. I've made up my mind that I do want to ask her out but I really don't know how to build up to it. I get this mental image that I'd be really creepy suddenly talking to her from out of nowhere and I really have no clue as to how to go from barley conversing to asking her out. Also as far as I know she doesn't and never has had a boyfriend.

What should I do?

definitely not wrong about that. honestly you need to talk to her to see if you actually do like her and are not just idealizing her. use some situational humour or reference, it shouldn't be hard if you've both been in the same class for a while.

You still got a lot of work to do, this problem should make you to train harder for her, OP.

Was about to say what the other anon said but you should be able to lose more bodyfat % and become handsome as fuark too.

Just sayin', no more advise for you but the other anon is right, you should do some talk about coursework and then other things and finally ask her out.

>>18175808
>>18175839
Cheers for the advice
Honestly no clue how I should actually ask her once I get to know her a bit better. Was thinking a coffee place on campus, or should I go for something else?

Also any tips for small talk in terms of getting to know her better?

I have a strong erection in the afternoon/ morning and a relatively weak one in the evening. This has only been happening for a month or two. And its worth noting that I recently got laid off and I am on anti-depressants. Got any advice?

should clarify , I am wondering if this is something to worry about? or short term stress / medication related?
>>
>>18175789
You should read about the side effects of those anti-depressants, could be that.

>short term stress
Definitely could this be too but what is happing has been for a month or two like you said.

IMO it's the meds, read about them, OP.

obviously nothing wrong with your dick if you ccan still get it up. proably just feeding into the psychological part of it.

I seriously hope I'm not going to make you mad for this shitty advise but you really should see a psychiatrist about this.

I don't think we have a MD that could help you right now, since pretty much you need the meds so you can control your anger issues.
Maybe, MAYBE there is some anon that knows, but I don't guarantee it.

oh wow another one of the "idk what to do with my life" threads

im 19 and i dropped out of school 2 weeks ago. i dropped out because i am emotionally weak and have a bad work ethic. i couldnt handle the stress and the pressure and i cracked. my parents were pretty understanding 2 weeks ago but now i think they want me either gone or back in school. i really dont think i can go back realistically. i live in a really expensive area of california so if i move out i would have to move far away. im just lost i dont really know what else to say. i dont crave a crazy lavish life style i just need out of here. i dont know how much longer im gonna last. any help is appreciated

Don't lose hope, OP.

I guess if you are unstable and cannot go back to school then your last option is to get your GED/HiSet.

You can take it and be self taught in your home, but you gotta study a lot so you can finish that high school equivalence.

Tell your parents you still want to study and tell them that you want to get your GED.
>>
Oh and seek a psychologist, you still have to become emotionally stronger and start having a better work ethic since that isn't going to take you anywhere in life, OP.

i dropped out of college, i was in my second year. so i do have a highschool diploma but thats not good for anything these days anyways. thanks man ive been thinking about a psychologist

I'm on the fence. Here's what I've got going for me

>clean driving record
>anti-social as fuck
>easily entertained by looking out the window at shit
>used to driving for long hours/distances
>have my G, M, and drive manual

I'm also 23 and have zero personal connections to this industry. Would I be laughed out the door at trucker school? What bad shit should I expect from the job/training?

> Would I be laughed out the door at trucker school?
No. I know the dumbest, most irresponsible fucks who drive for a living. It's a pretty easy job. The training will be the hardest part, honestly. It's rather similar to driver's ed. They'll teach you how to maneuver the vehicle based on the size of the box, the amount of hours you're allowed to be on the road, what to do if/when a tire explodes, stuff like that. You take written and driven exams and boom. You'll be fine.

What should I do? I am currently employed, but I saw a job I liked while browsing online about a week ago and sent my resume. They contacted me today and want to schedule an interview, but I'm having second thoughts.

Current job
>Excel monkey
>$35k a year
>Been there about a year-and-a-half
>Very easy job, I know how to do it and some days I literally just browse the internet
>Get along well with coworkers
>1 hour commute

New job
>Accountant
>A lot more responsibilities than my current job
>$45k a year
>Would be better for me professionally as it would be more towards the field I eventually want to be in (I have an accounting bachelors)
>15 minute commute
>I don't have a personality that always meshes well with people, so unknown about how I'd deal with them as coworkers

So should I call them back for the interview? On the pros list are a $10k increase in salary, a shorter commute and developing myself more (professionally speaking). I will be giving up a lot of knowns, though. I know I can currently handle my current position, versus this one which has a ton more shit attached to it. I know I get along well with my coworkers here, versus it being an unknown at this new company. I know I get days where I literally do 2-3 hours of work in an 8 hour shift at my current job, probably not going to happen at the new job based on the "responsibilities" list they had on the posting.

You gotta move on to move up. I say do it. Upward mobility and opportunity for good experience is the most valuable benefit.
>>
why wouldnt you at least try it? U have nothing to lose but a bit of time from your day. It sounds exceptionally better than ur current situation imo, and desu ive not known many accountants who relied on their social charisma to be successful. One of my best friends is a CPA and hes a total social fucktard. Makes 150k a year
>>
For starters, this depends on everything about you.

Getting that new job with more salary and experience for your BSc is really good and I think you'll be fine with the new coworkers if you become more sociable.

But you're writing this because you're concerned about the responsabilities of the new job, so I'm saying this will depend 100% on you, since you must have the will to be more responsable and don't fuck shit up in your first job as an accountant since that will be on your record, Anon.

Not much advise I know but there isn't much I can write for you.

How do I let go of anger and jealousy?

I am working on a pretty ambitious project, and tomorrow I am working with someone who is very accomplished.

But the thing is, their significance began even since they were in school. Like "it's in their blood" kind of thing. But here I am, all Don Draper and shit trying to forge my own path with nobody but myself and my extreme anxiety that makes me work to exhaustion.

I try not to be bitter, but it is so hard.

So, how do I let go of that anger?

So the root of the anger is that you're mad at this person for making you anxious, and you feel like you've had to work harder to get to where you are?
>>
>>18175686

Not the first part, but the second part, yes.
>>
>>18175713
well, ya know. the buddha said anger is like carrying a hot coal to throw at someone else, you're the one who gets burned. so first make sure you're completely convinced of the uselessness of the resentment.

next, think about how silly it is to compare different people's paths like that. billions of people around the world (probably) worked harder than you just to survive. you're looking at things under a microscope.

and finally, focus on the work itself. maybe you'll learn something from this fucker, or you'll just look good at the end. just think about the outcome.

at least where i live, it IS possible to get a computering sort of job without a degree. just takes tons of initiative and some luck, and you'll always get paid a lot less than if you had it.

there are lots of people in your situation, OP. it's a tough pill to swallow, but pretty much all jobs suck. you do it for the money. and you get the $30k piece of paper for the money also.

it's not an easy choice at all.
>>
>>18175663
also if i could go back in time, i'd pick something easy like being a teacher.

i'm a semester short of getting my CS batchelors and it's a BITCH, at least at my school. lots of math, and they make classes that should be easy, like compilers and algorithms, as hard as they can just for the hell of it.

Do you REALLY have a passion for computers now?

Then go take some IT/CIS classes and try to learn a lot of programming languages on your own.
Read the /g/ wiki as well.

And I'm not reccomending you CS classes because I don't know how good you're with math, since you generally need calculus.

I seriously hope you finally decided IT/CIS and are not going to give up, because you're wasting a fuckton of money.

Have some /g/ info.

Tough shit, you made the mistake of not getting experience in your teenage years.

Either go back to college or fuck off and get a job you lazy fuck.

I have always had procrastination problems or atleast since about 5th grade. I am currently a sophomore in high school and i have over 80 absences. Most absences have been because i procrastinate and do anything not to sleep unless really motivated. It sometimes gets to the point where I will not go to school. I almost never do homework but I remember being able to when I was young without a problem. I do not study and almost never open my backpack when I get home. I spend alot of time on the computer and phone. I am soon going to see a psychiatrist because I believe I might have high functioning autism. I have ways been smarter then my peers but I do not socialize well at all. I just want to be able to use my smarts to my advantage. How can I not procrastinate, manage time, and organize life in general?

No, you're lazy as shit OP.

>How can I not procrastinate, manage time, and organize life in general?
Need to know what motivates you in order to tell you that you should be able to focus on that so you finally stop being a lazy piece of shit.

>manage time, and organize life in general
You just need to make a schedule book or w/e they're called in the US in order to manage time better, since if you do this you gotta do it and never be late.

Start making dates with hours on what are you going to do OP, you need some discipline so you stop being a lazy shit and start taking your classes on school.

Some anon might have a better advise than more of fix what I wrote so wait.

I'm such a fucking dumbass.
I was walking around with my sister's baby while she prepared the bath. She's a loud baby so she cries unless she's being held and moving.
Anyways, I was walking around with her, bobbing up and down to calm her down and my foot slides, so I instinctively land on my other knee to not fall. As I fell the baby's head went back because I was in the middle of switching arms to support her head at the moment. Should I be worried? I'm scared as all hell. She's only 1 month old

Holy shit you retard.

You probably fucked the baby's life and there's a chance she will have some problems if it was THAT ROUGH.

And she's just 1 month, OP.

This is why you don't give a baby to a retard, kids.
>>
>>18175538
She's probably fine. Babies bounce for a reason.
>>
if it scares you all enough just go to a doctor. If thats not an option best thing to do is just keep an eye on the baby and watch out for any abnormalities like excessive crying or swelling or, i dunno anything that just doesnt seem normal. If the baby calms down and seems fine just be grateful, keep checking up on her and just be extra careful anytime you hold her.

I wont say its nothing, these are very crucial months for the baby and its development, but no use in beating yourself up over it. learn from your mistakes and pay attention to your surroundings and be careful when you're taking care of her. Maybe next time stop moving, switch arms, then start walking again.
