Challenge yourself with problems/puzzles and find the joy in discovering math ideas. Try to understand the inner workings behind the formulas that are taught. Using textbooks just saps your motivation unless you know that that knowledge can be used for furthering your understanding. Remember, it is ok to not understand what you are learning or have difficulty with a problem, be it at college or doing recreational problems. What matters is that you are willing to learn the process and be interested in doing practice.

Here is a website you can try for problems: http://mathschallenge.net/archive

fuck off

nah, lmao. It's clear you don't want the job.

Literally how? I can understand being tired, I hate waking up, but you knew, and you overslept. Why man?
Anyone it depends how much late did you go.

pls

...so you want to get out of doing an exam you have to do without a good excuse, is that what you're saying?

You aren't the only one. Part of being an adult is dealing with shit you don't like or dealing with the consequences of unsafe sex.

Suck it up princess.

>>18135056
>How am I the only one bothered by this?

Most people realize life isn't designed to be perfect for us. We learn to compromise.

Yup. I used to hate condoms. Couldn't come as long as I was wearing one. I also couldn't come from blowjobs. Which means I'd wear a condom, have piv sex until my partner came, then I'd masturbate until I came.

So what did I do?

I got used to fucking with condoms. Now I can come fine.

Maybe you're just dumb or something but it sounds like you want more than a friendship.

>>18135025

Thats the thing, i know anything more wont work out, so i want to keep her as a friend. Is that selfish?

>>18135021
>>18135030

Make more friends. You sound lonely.

>>18134946
imagine fucking her

You need to learn how to get over this shit. She was insulting and presumptuous and you got to actually rub in her face how wrong she is and get a spontaneous apology. And then call bullshit on her damage control. In terms of coworker drama, that's pretty much as good as it gets.

What works best for me is to distract myself as much as possible (actively get going with your hobbies, masturbation, indeed a long walk or drive) and make a conscious choice to take notice every time said coworker does something pleasant/humanizing/professional near me. This will soften your resolve more than anything else because it forces you to acknowledge that they are a person who did something shitty and not a walking embodiment of whatever said shitty thing means to you. You probably have said shit you regret now. Yes you are in your "right" but holding on to resentment and feeling wronged will not make you a happier person or a nicer person to be around. No one wants to be around someone middle aged and bitter, no matter how much you were "on the right side" of the petty little arguments that happened.

Obviously this only works if they're half-way decent. If they're no good at all, you just have to create as much emotional distance as you can, give ironic commentary in your head, learn to become the master of not giving fucks.

Report her to HR

you be like a cheetah in the rain.

Antidepressants.

Or alcohol, if you like it more.

stop fighting against it

Try to not fap for 2 days.
Or go opposite direction and fap until you achieve dry orgasm. Your body can produce only so fluid before you are dry.

Understand that porn is fiction, not an anatomy lesson

if you go without cumming for 7 days, do you really spike in testosterone

no one who is on 4chan is worth shit in the fields of programming or literature. /fit/ does sometimes get some internet celebrity trainers but that's only because autists will purchase their fitness programs and products like crazy
just block it and don't look back. if you're here for more than 10 minutes a day you're essentially wasting time

>>18135489
>no one who is on 4chan is worth shit in the fields of programming or literature.
this is pretty much correct. if there is one professional on 4chan there is a a million fools to match him. good luck sorting the stupid from the smart if your not already smart.
the internet is a poor resource for learning, in general. too much conflicting info.

open
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt
and add the line
0 4chan.org

I think you're trying to sell yourself the kool aid. The most you can say is you will get a cynical perspective on a lot of topics (which can be useful) and that it's a decent place to check during big news (not just political) in order to get a bigger picture than you could just from a media source. That's about it.

When I fell in love with a girl it immediately made me realize that it was a cesspool of negativity. Now that I've had my heart broken I'm back because I have no friends or life.

>>18134887
Continue sending her your progress. Don't try to pamper her on that one, you did nothing wrong. Hug her, pick her up, dance a little with her or some shit. She'll click out of her mood like a little girl. If she doesn't, ignore that behaviour.

holy fucking shit, i just got blocked on facebook

"I thought piano could be special but it's not to you so it kinda ruins the feeling for me now"

i got blocked. what happens now?

>>18134908

>>18134848
You fucking people make me sick by Swans.

Your siblings have taken your pedo father's side against you. There's nothing you can do, they won't let you.

Highway to Hell.

Sex and procreation isnt right, but privilege of "successful" people.

So either start improving yourself or die alone.

Realistically, no. If you have good mind control you will probably stop giving a fuck anywhere between ten and thirty years down the line.

Other than that, chemical castration isn't exactly easy.

>>18134948
>Sex and procreation isnt right, but privilege of "successful" people.
Sure is, but people have this weird doublethink going on where they say you don't "deserve" love (which I agree with, affection isn't a resource to be distributed) but also act like relationships are expected and that "it gets better".

>So either start improving yourself or die alone.
Sure, self-improvement is part of life. I think it just won't be enough, not in this lifetime. Too bad, I guess.

>>18134951
Yeah, seems like you're right. Just have to endure it for a while then?

>>18134783
Maybe you're asexual

>>18134789
No, she just has a low libido.
How healthy are you? Do you exercise and have a healthy diet? Living unhealthy is really damaging in that regard.
It might be worth going to a doctor.

>>18134789
Perhaps. Before I was on the birth control shot, I still had low sex drive. Maybe depression contributed to that.

More information: me & my boyfriend have talked about this issue extensively. He reassures me he's okay if we just make love once a week. Or even every other week.

Finally, when we do make love, it's always when there's parents nearby, because we don't live together yet. When we have actual privacy together, I've shown to be more spontaneous, more agressive, and more comfortable. Is that expected and normal of a woman? It just feels weird when there's no privacy.

>>18134777
Maybe it was obvious it was a drunk text. Probably don't need to follow up, unless you feel guilty. No point in stringing him along.

>>18134822
It was 6ish in the morning when I texted him.
Gosh I am so embarrassed. Should I say sorry I was drunk bla bla?
I never added his Facebook but I saw his on my new feed a few times so I asked if it was him and I just wanted to say hi.
How creepy I am?

>>18134829
lol why do you care? will you ever see this person again?
sounds like your stressing over nothing.

he probably deleted your number a wile ago and didn't know it was you. or maybe he hates your guts, does it make any difference to you?

I'll have to ask you to expand upon your problem. I can't give any meaningful advice. Sounds very peculiar.

You aren't motivated because you've achieved something? That's kind of like saying "help, I don't have anywhere to go because I arrived at my destination".

Do you want to always have a goal? Are you a rich philanthropist or something, that you ran out of goals? See, it's silly without better context.

>>18134762
Get more difficult goals.

>>18134805
Sorry about being vague. I meant that after I completed a goal I lose some motivation. For example, I've wanted a nice truck for about 2 years now, so i increased my income until I could afford it. A week or so after I got it I got really down and I felt really lost, cause that was my big goal for a while. Now my goal is to buy a house, I'll probably complete it in under a year, I'm just scared that once I get it I'll feel lost again. Should I set higher goals?
