Ok so for how long do you need to keep a gift?

My parents gave me a car for ~$2500 when I got my license a year ago. It's such a shitty car, I live on the countryside of Sweden, and it's a small city car. I wanna sell it and put in another 4 grand to get a Volvo SUV but I'd feel ungrateful.

So for how long do I need to wait? My father doesn't take ungratefulness lightly. Imagine him as the godfather from the movies.

explain to your dad why it's important for you and how you are grateful. what do you think will happen?
>>
>>18698944
I dont believe it would make you look ungrateful. The car has no sentimental value, the utility is where its value comes from.
>>
>>18699009
I've brought this up before and they were pretty offended. That's why I wondered if it was "too soon"

>>18699019
No they don't care about the actual car, so maybe you're right. If I spend all the money on a new car which is better I think they won't mind too much.

It's in a repair shop atm. Since it isn't made for these distances I've driven it, I had to change both the generator and the start engine at the same time. So I'll have to save up some money for a couple of months after this is paid for...

Every time I try to talk to someone about how I'm struggling with depressive realism and misanthropy, they blow me off as if I haven't said anything. This happens via text and in person.

The professionals I can afford mostly just argue with me like children, raising their own completely unrelated points (example: their coworker got them cookies, they believe in healing crystals...).

The fact I can't seem to have a productive conversation about this situation is just worsening it. It takes me from mild dysphoria to absolute rage and suicidal thoughts, rage that my own people won't even fucking talk to me if it's this particular subject. I just thought about suicide for the first time in a year.

I'm not ready to give up, though. I can broaden my search for people to talk with me about this. I can even become disruptive and overbearing if it needs to come to that.

If anyone has constructive helpful advice, that'd be greatly appreciated.

I grew up in a household where healthy physical contact (sympathetic touching/hugging/warm greetings) and verbal affection didn't happen much. I've avoided family members' funerals/ putting pets down because seeing immediate family cry makes me physically uncomfortable.

People say I'm funny (in a ha-ha way) and, growing up, I got good at diffusing tension at home by being a goof. Still use those skills a lot now and have recently gotten more comfortable using them to flirt. It just feels like having a dick without balls, though. Everything is going good and feeling fun until I realize I need to make a move physically. Everything shuts down and I feel like that little kid getting turned away from riding a rollercoaster because he's too short. Everything feels wrong, she notices, and it dies.

I'll do this maybe three times a night when I go out. I have no fear of talking to women, but this other shit stops me cold. The only thing that makes things remotely easier is alcohol, but that only makes me feel worse/more guilty. I honestly love meeting interesting, fun people and wouldn't mind seeing what it's like to be more close to somebody.

What should I do? If it helps, I come off as an INFJ to the people I know best. INTJ to people who don't know me that well. I'm a dude.

I feel bad for my dad, because I know he loves me, but is just as broken, if not more, than anyone else in my family. A few years ago, he said something to me like "I hope you know that your mother and I are always there for you and care about you very much" when we were coming home from visiting my Granddad. At first I was angry and indignant, but then I realized he sincerely meant it. That was one of the saddest realizations of my adult life: that you could care so much, yet be so defeated that it didn't matter.

I wonder if he even realizes how sad and lonely he seemed to me and my sister when we were growing up.

I want to take boner pills and force people in stores to deal with seeing me hard.. I imagine the store could kick me out but legally I can be as hard as I want in public right?

Actually, you could be arrested and be forced to register as a sex offender.

Not to mention, it's a really stupid "plan"

even if you don't expose your penis? just being hard inside pants can get you in legal trouble?

>>18698742
Boner pills work by spiking your blood pressure. Taking them without a doctor's supervision could result in a stroke or aneurysm. You could wind up even more of a moron than you already are.

Just don't do it, faggot.

>>18698668
But she probably won't. Any time I've brought up the possibly of us not being together in the near future, she gushes that there's no way she's dating again, because "I'm not looking for a heartbreak anymore."

She's 24 years old.

Accept and embrace it. Being bald and confident is 1000x better than trying to hide it.
>>
>>18698647
IF inevitable, I want to accept it.

However I'd still like to know if there's anything I can do against it.
>>
>>18698647
This. Shaving my head was one of the best choices of my life. You know all the worrying you're doing about how your hair looks, OP? Imagine never having to do that again. Worrying about balding can take a lot out of you and shaving your head is worth it just to end that. Plus, it's convenient as fuck in a bunch of other ways, too.

When it comes down to it, no one else cares about your hair as much as you do, so you need to make a choice to benefit yourself. You can spend a lot of time worrying about it, and possibly dump a bunch of money into fixes that don't work very and might screw with you in other ways, or you could just shave it off and stop giving a fuck.

I am an Objectivist who is ninety-nine percent of the time surrounded by Liberals who wouldn't be accepting of my views. While, political views are not everything, in this day and age I can't go an inch without some stepping in some slackjawed shit about "0000, Donald Trump is a rac1st NAZI, if you don't think communism needs to happen kill yourself." I also don't find myself at home on /pol/ considering their views on the Jewish and people of other color. (however I am fairly certain at least three quarters of it are simple good ol'fashioned trolling.) TL;DR, I am lonely, and I can't seem to find anywhere I could find like minded individuals, so I came to the ass-end of the internet for advice. Let's see how well this turns out.

Why do you care so much about politics? Get a hobby.
>>
I am a child free military wife. I know how you feel. Its imporant to have simular beleifs as friends but the trick is to make friends with people who respect your views and decissions. Anyone who does not respect your views is not worthy of being a friend. You can have simular views in moral and not politics so try not to get so hung up on politics being your go to reference. I am a mix for the most part so there are parts I will agree from most political parties. You can try volunteering for the political parties to meet people but most of the people who do that are older.

>objectivism
That's why.
Nobody likes Objectivism except Objectivists. It doesn't work in the real world, much like communism and libertarianism. Ya know how Kmart and Sears are dying? That's why.
My only real suggestion is to temper your views in conversation, and get your fix of good conversation on GreedIsGood.com or whatever forum you guys use.

My breasts are much too large for my frame and it gets me a lot of unwanted attention from men and women alike. A part of me wants to get a reduction, but I'm not sure I want to because I want to be as sexy as possible for my future husband (but only him). What should I do?

PIcs?

I personally say you should only get a reduction if it's physically affecting you on a negative aspect. Try not wearing tight or form fitting clothing.

Are you my future husband?

I'm 100lbs into a 150lb weight loss plan. But I feel as shitty now as when I was heavier. I still don't relate to people, I still have never had a girlfriend. I've been to therapy but they couldn't help me either. I'm old enough that teenagers could call me "old".

It doesn't get any easier does it? Sometimes it's all just... It's just the way it is. Sometimes things don't get better.

Who told you that losing weight would solve all your problems?

I don't know. Myself. Part of me thought that if I could be more handsome, maybe people would give me the time of day.

>>18698601
There are plenty of fat people out there with lots of friends and a spouse and children. Stop blaming everything on your weight and figure out what the real problem is and work on that. But do keep with your weight loss, not for looks but for your health.

So I have been struggling with what I thought was depression for as long as I can remember but just recently I kinda got some kind of answer.
I was seeing a counselor and he said that he wouldn't diagnose me but if he had to take his best guess he would say I have dysthymia or as I have started to call it functional depression.
Basically I can get up work and do all that kind of stuff but I never get any joy or satisfaction from anything. Sure in some moments I feel happy but afterwards I always get depressed or empty soon after.
I know that there are things I should feel joy over, I know there are things I have done that I should feel satisfied about but nothing ever seems to make me happy longer than in the moment.

I was just hoping for some advice/words of wisdom to help me out.

I've had this all my life. Effexor really helped me, but it's not a cure. But I feel better. Seek help. Get vitamins, no shifty products. Do some research. Iherb is a good place to buy strong ones.

>>18698549
>>18698549
newest research found out that many psychical illnesses do nit really come from your actions, theycome from your gut bacteria.

try out vitamin D 4000 IU a day + Magnesium + Vitamin K + Probiotics.

Also use natural probiotics, like yogurts, apple vinegar and sourcrout.

>New neighbor moves in downstairs
>Hear that he's a college professor
>He seems really nice. Gonna give him a housewarming gift tomorrow.

Two questions:
On the rare occassion that I pass him, do I refer to him as "Professor"? I am not a student of his, mind you he's not much older than me.
Example: "Good afternoon, Professor!"

Second, how do I go about asking what field he is a professor of?

Meet him and introduce yourself. Unless he introduces himself as "The Professor" then call him by his name. To find out what he is a professor of just ask him you dip.

>>18698560
>To find out what he is a professor of just ask him you dip.

How exactly would you phrase it? I guess that's the part that I'm not certain of. What is the proper way to ask? "What are you a professor of?", "What do you teach?"
>>
>>18698566
Either of those is fine. You're overthinking it. People love talking about themselves.

I'm to shy to approach girls at clubs, pubs or parties.

The only girls that approach me in any of these places are either flat out ugly or super plain.

Anyone else stuck in this existential dilemma?

Good looking girls don't need to approach guys. They get approached.

If you want a shot with them, go for it yourself.

“I want you to know that nothing she has done is your fault. Not sleeping with other people, not pretending to hurt herself, not ignoring your needs, nothing. I love you and that's proof you won't be forever alone. You're not an unlovable monster. You're handsome and strong and funny and great. I believe in you. This relationship isn't typical or normal. No matter what you did, you deserve better. I'll be here for you any way that I can. I hope you'll call me later but it's 100% ok if you don't feel like it. TL;DR : I love you. Have a good day <3"

Dating a great girl for about 2 months
I feel like I am going through the motions of a relationship.
Granted, I feel great around her and I'm developing feelings for her, but I honestly feel like I'm just going through the motions of a relationship and sometimes just feel like I'm faking it till I make it, you know?
All my relationships ranged from 2 to 8 years and I guess I just feel like this one will end someday too, so maybe I'm guarding a part of myself? I did wait about a year before I started dating again for this girlfriend and I do have wonderful moments with her and feel things but there is just always this nagging feeling deep down that no matter how great it is, how close I become to her friends and family, how ingrained our lives become, I'll just have to repeat the steps again, eventually.

Does anyone know if this goes away eventually? This is the first time in my life that I've enjoyed something but also felt like this. Any advice would be appreciated.

depends on why your past relationships ended and how.
>>
Doubt is a natural feeling to have when feeling love towards someone. You always have to expect the worst & hope for the best. It seems like you truly like this girl & your relationship sounds healthy but don't think it'll end up like your past relationships. Comparing & dreading from the past will only bring negativity in yourself & your relationship. Hope this helps my dude. Best of luck.

Try going to social events or parties through friends

You'll be surprised how easy it is to meet and date new girls. Some (not the hottest ones though) will outright approach you
>>
>>18698348

even the hottest black girl will have lower standards, because we tend to treat the white girls better. so you can get a lot of minorities to message oyu because they need to put them selves out there more.

if you got one girl of every race and lined them up and they were all 10/10s you'd still have the white girl as the hottest, and the black girl as the least hot, with asians latinas and middle easterns and whatnot inbetween.
