Sometime this week I'm going to start working 2 full time jobs at the same time for the first time in my life and I don't know what to expect or how bad it's gonna be

Can I get any advice to preprare myself for this?

3rd shift job is from 10 p.m to 6:30 a.m and 1st shift job is from 7 a.m til 3:30 p.m

I'm a little bit anxious on how my body and mind are going to be affected but regardless I'm going to give it my best because I could really use the money for bills and saving up for school

I worked 16 hour shifts at 711 when people would call out and their would be no other workers. If you have a real goal with your money then that should keep you motivated. If your doing this just to live and not saving up for somthing your not going to last. Fuck school. Open a janitorial buisness youl make more money working for your self and its cheap to do. Then once you get enough accounts you can have employees and you chill and delegate those employees instead of working
>>
>>18140122
Thats a bad idea. Dont do one shift right after the other. You have zero time to take a shit in privacy or shower before the next. Go with one full and one part time. None can be customer service orientated youl be to groggy to interact with them and that will piss off your boss

How do become more social if I don't know anything about tv, games , relevant music , sports or anime/cartoons , social media or much about latest tech / products? Most people I know talk about this and I never know how to respond and it kills me when they realize they're talking to the wrong person. When they're not talking about that I just can't continue a conversation. I always say things like "how are you , what are you doing (text) , or oh that's great nice. I suck at jokes. I cant make friends without boring them and having them tease me constantly about it. I also stutter and mispronounce words. How can I fix this. Thank you.

Either talk about something you are knowledgeable in or become knowledgeable in something common.

Talk about food. Everyone like to talk about food they like.
Ask them questions about themselves and talk about the things you relate with them.
Find a group of people. Then you can mainly listen and just chime in from time to time.
>>
>>18140113
talk about your life and experiences, chances are you might find some common ground there. A lot of people like to talk about themselves, So if they tell you about experience ask them questions about it. Either make a comment about their experiences expressing what you think or if you relate tell them how you relate.
>>
>>18140125
Yes I'll try to become more knowledgeable thanks. AAAA food is aaaaalll most people talk about its incredibly annoying to me. I'll k do is ask questions about them but I've realized the more I do it the less they want to talk to me about mutual interest but instead about their interests. Alright , thank you so much ill try it! Have a good day

I'm trying to figure out If I have an anxiety disorder but I am skeptical of self diagnoses.
>constantly worry about being attacked or having my stuff stolen
>have intrusive thoughts of being harmed or killed.
>when doing work I get really stressed out because I feel like I need to do things perfect and I feel down if I think Its not good enough.
>have death anxiety and worry about existence every night
>dont sleep well and engage in distracting activities all day and night
Is this GAD?

>Does anyone here have or have had generalized anxiety disorder?

Yup. Go see a doctor. He/She will help you out.

>I'm trying to figure out If I have an anxiety disorder but I am skeptical of self diagnoses.

You should be skeptical because you have absolutely no medical training. Go see a doctor, you know, the people that have gone to school for years to learn how to diagnose people.
>>
>>18140104
I just wanted to be sure before investing time and money into it, I sometimes go to the doctor with something and its usually nothing. I get it in my head that I might have something bad and go just to be sure. Like a hypochondriac, but I'm not super bad. I'm more skeptical of my fears because I think there is a degree of irrationality to them.
>>
>>18140099
I have GAD and what you say sounds similar to what I experience, however mine is more rooted in social situations and things just going wrong than violent encounters.

>>dont sleep well and engage in distracting activities all day and night

Get this under control ASAP. I've seen a psychiatrist and they gave me pretty basic information to go with the drugs but basically sleep regulates your hormones and thus your emotional stability. Pick a time to be in bed by and get at least 7-8 hours of sleep at night, and have a meal when you wake up. Keep this up and absolutely keep a structured routine and really pay attention to caffeine intake, sugar, and exposure to bright screens before sleeping. Getting up and moving around and not sitting, and only laying down in your bed to sleep or for sex will help you fall asleep easier since you're releasing some adrenaline by moving and making your body associate your bed with it being time to sleep. If none of that helps you should definitely seek out a psychologist to up root anything that's bottling up and making you anxious.

Has anyone here been to rehab for addiction before? Can you share your experience? I'm at the end of my rope and I can't decide if I should spend money to go to a private one, go to a publicly funded one, or even go at all. Any input would help.

My girlfriend's friends recently got her hooked on cigarettes. I told her the first day she would become addicted and now here we are. What can I do to help her off them without being a dick or "infringe on her rights"?

Hit her with some stats, namely:

>IIRC it's like 80% of lifetime smokers develop COPD

Ask that she not smoke around you or in your house and that kind of thing. Limit the spaces where she can do it so that ultimately she has to pick between you or her smoking.

a week ago my girlfriend confided in my a secret she told no one else: when she was 13, she had low self esteem over having no boyfriend like the other girls. then some 17 year old guy said she's beautiful and they started "dating". he convinced her to send half naked pics. when she called the relationship off, he tried blackmailing her, but failed. she still hates him because he, a guy neither of us have met, could still have the pics. I'm curious, dues thus count as molestation?

No op it's just blackmail.
Teach your dumb bitch that what ever gets sent through an electronic device has the potential to be seen by everybody
>>
She's a dumb ass drop her.

>>18140013
Molestation is physical sexual abuse of a minor.
This is blackmail, also if he still has them then he owns child pornography. He can't do shit with them without risking jail.

i had acne for about all of high school now, and the only thing that has worked out of the four years of medication, if you have it bad and it isn't related to not washing your face or anything like that, is accutane, but its pretty hardcore shit and has some not so good side effects, but hey, it gets the job done

Just had my first kiss and feel REALLY disgusted and disturbed. Anyone else's feel the same way?

I'm considering asking someone out, basically, trying to start a relationship.
I'm also not 100% mentally stable. I'm concerned I might do something weird, gross, or maybe even dangerous.
On the other hand, I'm very much interested in this person, and the circumstances are that if I don't make some kind of move within a few months I'll miss my chance, as we might not meet in person again for a very long time.
What do?

Well then gather the best of your self control and do it when you think its OK.

Worst case scenario... Rejection is usually easier to deal with than regret.

>>18139960
It's good and it's perfectly feasible just as long as you understand that dating isn't the same as being exclusive, or in other words, being girlfriend and boyfriend. Dating is just a test period where you're trying to see who really gets you going.

I don't recommend bragging about it but if someone you're dating ever gets on your ass about it just ask them if they want to become exclusive. Should shut them up pretty nicely.

When I lie in bed at night or anytime I'm alone I feel this hollow crushing feeling inside my chest. Sometimes I attribute it to not having a girlfriend (khv at 21 - I desire cuddles more than anything) but I don't even know if that would fix it long term. Of course I have no idea how to meet people and I've been interested in like 2 people throughout my entire life ever whom I'm retrospectively glad I didn't pursue, so it doesn't matter whether or not this is the problem. I doubt I'll ever muster the courage to ask someone out or anything like that.

Everything hurts so much. I'm going in a relatively good direction in life, (obtaining bachelors, doing summer research, planning on pursing PhD) but it's all a fucking sham. I don't want to be here, I don't want this life or any life. Why the fuck do I have to be so miserable? Why do I feel like this?

It's been like this as long as I can remember. I've literally never been happy long term, I always come back to feeling awful, like there's this hole in my chest and I don't even know what to fill it with. And everyone thinks I'm this cheery, successful person to be envied.

I don't expect /adv/ to be of much help (I've made posts like this before, here and elsewhere,) but once again I felt compelled to do something. Somebody tell me something I haven't heard before that will help, please.

People will lie and say it gets better but it won't. Time is a flat circle. These feelings return and consume you over and over. People like to think these down times are worth living for but they aren't. Either you endure a painful existence or expedite the process.
>>
>>18139925
I feel like this a lot too, OP. Unfortunately for you, I'm not a khv, I had a gf for a year and a half when I was 17-18. Not going to lie, it felt like all my problems had been solved.

For a while.

Then I gradually slipped back into my old ways of thinking. I still felt unsatisfied (although somewhat less unsatisfied), as though something was missing.

I still feel that way. I give the same impression as you; I do alright in my studies, all my friends think that I am largely happy, and when I do see them I do enjoy my time with them. But deep down I feel that there must be more.

I continue on because I feel that it must get better in the future. I really want to get married and have children. That's pretty much all I hang on for. If I found out I was sterile, I suspect that I would kill myself pretty much immediately. I also plan on doing it if I'm unmarried at 40 because I consider that to be a failure of life.

I wish I could help you but I really can't. I'm in pretty much the same boat.

I hope something I said was valuable to you.

Seems like you're struggling with some sort of existential crisis, trying to find meaning in life and failing. That sure can get you down and depress you. Why don't you read Feeling Good by David Burns? It delineates coping strategies for being unhappy, in every possible situation. It's a great book. What do you have to lose?

Anyone else feel daunted by this? I feel like non-white women are basically living different lives and you just CAN'T do the same shit than as if you were to date a white woman.

For example, I live in a city with a large puerto rican population. I have taken white women to like art museums and stuff like that because I like museums and other attractions that you get to see interesting stuff..

Try that same date with a puerto rican girl and she will think you are a effeminate faggot who is wasting her time.

What the fuck is going on? It doesn't really help that I am a black guy either. I am not saying all puerto rican females are like that but this city is fucked up man. A lot of them want "trap stars" and listen to reggaeton and the rapper known as future, a boogie with da hoodie, weeknd, shit like that.

It honestly just seems like you can't date "WOMEN" you have to use tactics depending on their race too. Which sucks because I hate profiling like that but I can tell what type of person a woman is or most likely to be within like 10-15 minutes of talking to her.

Its fucked. Help. Dating white women feels a lot more open and full of options. When dating minority women, I feel like I would have to put on a facade which I hate. I am not thug.

Maybe this city is just fucking aids or something.

>>18139888

I am black. I also have an extreme preference for hispanic women. Particularly, puerto rican females from the bronx. But they are... something else. A bit rough for me. and more often than not.. super fucking ghetto which I don't dig so much.

I'm 22. I am kinda unhappy with life. I read that traveling can make you feel better. I have traveled for work, but never much for tourism. I don't even want a long vacation, just a weekend trip would be cool.

I live in Maine, and growing up my family didn't have a lot of cash so spending money on a flight for a 2 day trip would seem silly and wasteful to them.

I'm mostly interested in going to different cities in the southwest. I could sleep at the airport for all I care.

I don't have anyone to go with so I'd be alone. I just reallyyyyyy want to see America.

Two days is not enough to do sit. That's basically flying to, and back again. Do you not understand travel time and prep time? Waiting in security, and lines. Jesus you are stupid.
>>
>>18139828
>Do you not understand travel time and prep time?

Not OP but a late night flight on friday and late night flight on sunday doesn't sound impossible at all. Friday night party, saturday and sunday club bounce, visit nature, and sunday night go to the airport.

Also, it's commonsense that domestic flights are less of a hassle than international and you only need to be there 2 hours in advance.

Don't call someone stupid if you're just going to give easily refutable points.

You're rude lol

So I'm gonna be a little detailed in this thread, I'm a lurker and never really posted before so this is new to me.

I'm a femanon in university. By just about all conventionally attractive standards I'm considerably an 8 or 9/10 according to many many comments. (No I wont post a picture, sorry).

My sexual history is that I'm openly bisexual, I've had relationships with men and women alike and I have had two female sexual partners and three male sexual partners. All have been longterm and all except one have been pretty healthy.

I can also say I have a really really high sex drive compared to most women. The three men I've dated have been blown away with how often I want to have sex.

I always considered sex to be something I could acquire anytime I wanted because I'm very attractive, and that's why I would purposely hold off on having it until I was with somebody I could trust and be comfortable around. But for some reason my sex drive has skyrocketed these last three or so months to the point where I constantly want to sleep around and constantly want to hookup with my platonic friends. It's getting difficult to hang out one on one with lots of my friends.

I haven't acted on this yet cause I'm worried about getting labelled as a slut or another label along those lines. Should I act on it and get it out of my system or find a different way to address it? Any advice that isn't derogatory or trolling is really appreciated, thank you!!

Take a trip abroad. There you can hook up all you want with no strings attached and it won't follow you back home.
