Hey /adv/, I need some help.

I've been losing sleep and having nightmares because of me watching scary things or playing horror games. I usually get to sleep around 1 am at best.

I don't know why I do this and I keep getting told at school to get some sleep when I sleep in class or when i'm not paying attention, but they give me no real advice.

Start furiously masturbating. The monsters will go away cause they dont want to see that shit
>>
>>18126054
when you get older you'll learn to sense that you're dreaming and this will stop you from having nightmares

as far as sleep goes, you're young, you don't need it. you can easily get away with 4ish hours of sleep, maybe less.

if you're hellbent on getting more sleep then stay active during the day, dont just bumble around a play vidya. go out side, chop some logs, play some basketball, or better yet work and earn some money. Do something physical and catch some rays. The trick to sleeping is being tired. You wont get physically tired by watching anime and playing vidya
>>
>>18126060
alright, thank you for the advice.

I guess I should be more physical so ill definitely take your advice. Again, thank you.

I live on the west coast and I'm flying to Philadelphia with on Wednesday for a 15th anniversary event that happens on Saturday.

All Tuesday flights are going to be canceled, and I might not make it out because of this storm, but I could put in my best effort and try to be there.

The alternative is a cool trip to Disneyland, a hockey game, and not sitting in the freezing fucking cold, but I'd be letting down the people that are going to be there.

Should I cancel?

Weigh up:

- how important it is you be at this event
- the level of regret you would/wouldn't feel for not going
- the ability to go Disneyland or whatever another time and whether its a factor

You haven't given us much info about any of that so figure out what you put first etc
>>
>>18126047

1. Not that important in the grand scheme of things, but it's part of a group of people I've known over half my life...

2. I'd feel a lot of regret, but also regret over money and time I might waste getting out there or not.

3. Disneyland could happen almost any weekend, it's only a four hour drive.

I'm looking at possibly fighting with a bunch of people that really want to get HOME, for one day of drunken celebration for an event with old friends.

But, a group of friends I've known forever, so valid enough for me to care a lot.

I was dating this girl for a while. She is 2 years ahead of me in school. I was a virgin before her, so she was my first.Recently she has been avoiding me, so I asked what's up. She is breaking up with me because she feels "peer pressure" for dating someone younger. What the hell do I do. My friends told me she is bad news, my sister told me she just want me to "take advantage of" I didn't listen, I thought she cared about me. Should I just move on?

Unfortunately that's a sign that the relationship wouldn't have lasted. Otherwise she'd have stayed with you regardless of "peer pressure". While it sucks just be glad you're out of there quickly and didn't leave yourself to get even more attached.
>>
>>18126026
In a similar position man. I think our only choice is to move on. Accept that something good came from it but otherwise fuck these bitches, if they were the ones they'd still be here with us.

Hey /adv/ I'm currently a full time student looking to make some quick money for food and gas. I was wondering if anybody here can share their methods of making money.

pizza delivery

just work rush shifts (3-4 hours) during peak times

You'll probably get $30-$60 a shift and it will more than cover the cost of food/gas if you work 5 days a week

If a part time job is out of the question, check out other universities that offer scientific research studies where they'll pay you for your time. I once participated in a sleep study for an entire weekend and made $500.

I've been working at a place for awhile that usually employs teenagers. I'm 26 years old. A young girl who's still in high school works with me. I crack jokes, we giggle and I thought that was it. I'm attracted to her physically, but that's not new I'm attracted to 90% of the girls working there. We got along real well for a couple months, but in the last few months it's gotten a little weird. First I found out she's attracted to me. Then I find out everyone knew this fact a lot sooner then me. My manager looks at us weird when we're together. I'm getting teased by other co-workers about it now. My interactions with her are not and never been romantic or sexual in nature, but I do gravitate towards her and vice versa when we work shifts together. She called me her boyfriend one day and I half joked that I'm gonna be on a list now. I'm honestly weirded out that we get along so well considering I'm 9 years older, but it only gets weird when I think about it. I don't want a romantic relationship with her and I thought I could just have someone at work I could be myself around. She's never pushed wanting something more other than some jokes, but that tells me she thinks about it. It just confuses the fuck out of me to be honest I hate feeling like I'm some kind of predator or that people might think I'm grooming her or something of that nature. Is there anyway I can save some dignity at this job? Is there going to be a day she wants more and I turn her down? I'm a little afraid I won't be able to if it happens. What the fuck do I do short of quitting?

Ehh 17 and 26 isnt that bad. Fuck this girl I dated was with a 31 year old when she was 17, he met her parents and everything and things were relatively amicable(aside from people gossiping about it). Pretty sure the age of consent is 17 in most states so you probably wont be in any legal trouble, if you did date her be ready some awkward conversations.

You're 26 years old. She's a high schooler. Grow the fuck up. Act like an adult and keep your professional and personal life separate.

I have been with women 10-15 years older than me.
A shitload of girls have been with men older than them.

Also, in most countries this is perfectly legal.
E.g. in my Euro country she needs just be 14 y.o. or 16 if you are somewhat responsible for her (e.g. Boss, teacher, etc.)

Nothing fucking wrong.
She is biologically ready and so you are.

What the fuck is the problem with you? Just be discreet because people like to talk behind your back.

Cocaine and working hard.

I need some advice. I want to join the police academy. Is there any advice from any of you? How can I improve my running speed? What kind of questions will I be asked? How can I prepare for them? Anywhere where I can download books? Library doesn't have much. I don't go to college so I don't have much education. Just the basic knowledge. I learn very fast when I need to. I want to protect and serve. I finally found my calling and I want to be prepared for it. Help?

If police academy/training is anything like Army/military training its should be pretty fucking easy and intuitive. You'll be told everything and nobody will expect you to know much already. As for physical requirements about 90% of skinnyfat normies will be capable of meeting the req. The U.S. gov. will take almost any warm body.

Alright /adv/ I have an odd question for you I really just want some second opinions. Heres the hypothetical.

So lets say you have been dating a girl for 4 years, and you have a 1 year old child together. You have a good relationship with her family and you are best friends with your girlfriends stepbrother. Unbeknownst to you your girlfriend and her stepbrother had a 2 year long relationship and had sex multiple times. Even as recently as 1 year before you met but there are no sexual feelings between them now.

How would you feel if you were this guy? What kind of reaction would you have if she told you? Would you prefer to not know this?

>is it cheating?
leave
>is it not cheating?
you have a kid. take care of him/her. Staying with her is good for the kid, and marrying her is better. I'd try to forgive if it wasn't cheating.
>>
Its probably why you get along with her brother I would take life as usual never bring it up. Give the best life for your children
>>
>>18125880
Yeah its not cheating I dont think he would leave

Recap:
>most women seek me just when they need help
>I make friends with some I am attracted to
>At some stage I become quite straightforward about my feelings and intentions
At this stage, two things may occur:
>1. We *do* something together, but we never step up (e.g. Kiss but not sex). No matter how horny I am and how horny she is, it all ends up with her saying "well, it's better if we stop". They tend to get angry if I try harder.
>2. They simply ignore this. They don't even say "no". I just don't get it. But if I try to get away from them, they blame me for giving them the "silence treatment" or for simply avoiding them

In my life, I've had a couple of 1-month mini-stories that pivoted on sex and am myself a very sexual person, but would be happy to dedicate my life to somebody.

Over the time, I have realized that:
>most women think I am crap at sex *before* they even have sex with me. It sounds like a marketing problem, I suppose
>most women somewhat think I've had more relationships and many told me they believed I was always "in demand".
It happened to me even last week:
>[my friend's gf]: "anon, how is it possible you had JUST two girlfriends in the past 15 years... I would never have told from your looks and behaviour".
Thanks fuck. Everyone thinks I'm already happy and fucking half of the neighborhood.

Finally, out of the closest female friends I had (and towards whom I had a crush at some stage of my life), some have confessed me their mental health issues and in a couple of cases even the desire to commit suicide. This is also why I find it pretty hard to turn my back to women who seek my support. :(

you just care too much. real man sees woman, wants to fuck woman, goes and fuck woman. thats it.

you need to lead the encounter and stop expecting a woman to "pick up on your signals" or w/e. open up to yourself about who you are and what you want. dont let yourself feel shame or guilt for wanting things from other people, and dont EVER try to adjust your desires in order to accommodate another. there are plenty of women out there.

>you just care too much. real man sees woman, wants to fuck woman, goes and fuck woman. thats it.
This has always worked for me in the short run. It's a bit like: the less we know each other, the more likely we are to have sex.
Yet I hardly bond with one night stands and the like.

I end up having feelings for people who share my life: e.g. Coworkers. If I start working or sharing time with a girl, the crush is almost automatic.

>you care too much
Indeed I do. But I am afraid of how things will go if I stop caring. Also, I have some kind of ego in the sense I hate being hated by people (but that's fucking normal, isn't it?)... Now I have a different mindset and am able to detach a bit more. Yet I still hate being called a cunt or being considered as someone who takes the carpet away from under your feet just because you didn't fuck me.

At first I'd typed out a sappy story about how I love to hear this girl's voice and really like her. We'd spend the day texting and the evening calling. Good enough story, but I'm not an author. I'm OP.

How often is appropriate to call someone just to talk? Because you enjoy them? Because you like them?
What about if you're not quite dating? What about if you are?
When you see them regularly, or not at all?

I already find myself holding back to 'save up' discussion topics for our calls, because frankly I'm a shit caller. I keep the texts going, she keeps the calls going. Any solutions to this as well?

It depends on how much they're ok with and how much you're ok with. Some people are cool with texting throughout the day 24/7. Some are not.

If she enjoys it, there's no reason to stop. If you sense she's getting overwhelmed, back off.

I'm 19. A virgin. I left school before I was supposed to graduate. I hate existing. Nothing positive in my life leaves impression, and they're rare at that. My only friend is my Father who can't rationalise when I express these sentiments which makes me guilty. Trying to improve things doesn't work because I can't stop asking what it's for, which is ultimately nothing. I wouldn't mind living for nothing if positive things occured in my life so I'm not a naïve nihilist, but they dont occur. I try to create my own identity, but I'm only emulating the few people I admire. I hate myself for not being able to reach my own standards and fulfill my capabilities. When I try to lower my standards I hate myself more. The development of an inferiority complex gnaws at my soul. The things that make living barrable quickly fade from my memory and senses. I can't talk to people because I hate humans as a species. I'm insecure and self-conscious so I can't converse and change my mind about it. When I think about living a life in the future in a realistic context it makes me want die and stop the waste of time. I'm also a pervert who would lose his percieved humanity if people were to know. I want fuck my cousin, too. I also don't want to take medication. Am I fucked?

Look at how afraid you are of judgment.

Live your life for yourself, no one else. No one creates their own identity in a vacuum. Everyone is the sum of their experiences.
Nihilism is beautiful. Nothing you do matters, so it doesn't matter what you do. If video games and masturbation are what you desire, pursue them wholly and disregard the world.

If nothing in life has left a positive impression, they are not positive impressions to begin with because you would remember them. Imagine what would be a positive experience for you and pursue it. You want to fuck your cousin? Probably don't go for it, but find dopplebanghers or women that look like her.

Don't be insecure. Nothing matters, so it doesn't matter what you do, good or bad.
>>
>>18125859
I'd like to not be able to care, but I don't know how.

Endless video games and masturbation won't make me happy. Masturbation is a habit and I don't really play games as passionately as I did in my past. I don't think this would make anyone happy, if I'm honest. It's like telling a junkie to keep shooting up.

The problem with embracing nihilism is that I don't know anything I could enjoy if I didn't care.
>>
>>18125847
What's the problem with emulating other people you admire? That's exactly how it works! Don't get entangled in a vicious desire for originality at all costs. That's some media-propelled bullshit.

Rather, try to build on something others have built. That's where you start.

Furthermore, if you got nothing to lose you can just set yourself some goals and see how you travel. And I am talking small goals... e.g. Try to explore what people do and why... Do some fucking research just for the sake of it. Keep yourself in motion.

...and don't try to run marathons before you even tested yourself against a 5 km march. If you try to run a marathon on the first day of training you will.end up exhausted the day after and not willing to continue training. The pro-tip here is that you have to aim for less and do less: setting smaller goals doesn't mean "lowering your standards" for fuck's sake. You are exhausted and want to kill yourself because you have been running marathons all your life long -- or maybe someone made you do that without you knowing.

Finally, take some fucking rest. And I mean: real rest. Breath and stare at the fucking ceiling for one hour or so... Try and dedicate a time frame in which you will not engage in anything -- technology in particular. I have also found relief by putting earplugs and blindfolding myself: reducing incoming data is a way to relax.

Good luck motherfucker!

P.S.: I failed my PhD.

How do I cope with the fact that the girl I love (and who loves me) is almost 99% likely to have blood cancer?
I'm not trying to distract from her issue at all, I just don't know what to do.

Stay.

At the end of her life, if it is terminal cancer, she will be with the one she loves most. Although it may pain you to lose her, you will have a tremendous understanding of impermanence and you will cherish and understand future relationships better than anyone else.

This is more of a rant and a way to organize my thoughts and feelings than it is a plea for advice. That being said, any advice on this subject would be appreciated.

My mother is lonely and is making me feel anxious. Since my mother broke up with her long term boyfriend almost 5 years ago, she hasn't moved on socially or emotionally. Thats not to say she is still saddened by the break up, but she has not developed any new meaningful relationships since.

She has no friends, or anyone she spends time with. My concern however, lies in the fact that she is an extremely negative woman, and never speaks of anyone in good regard. She never has anything nice to say about anyone. She speaks awful things about her sisters, that theyre self centred, narcissistic, and materialistic if they dont prioritize my mother. Shes extremely neurotic and obsessive. always speaking very intensely, as if shes angry but shes not. all in all, shes a very unlikable person.
These are all recent personality changes in the past 4 years or so. She has become overbearing in some ways. For example, I didnt reply to a text for 5 hours or so, because i was at work. she proceeded to call my work and ask to speak to me. She guilts me into feeling certain ways. I tried expressing to her that i would like to be able to live my life and pursue my goals, and she said that it made her sad that im not including her. Which i never said i wasnt.

My biggest concern is that this is only going to get worse over time. A few months ago when she was telling me how awful and cold everyone in the city she lives in is, and how she feels lonely, I told her that maybe its her that needs to change. I told her very gently that how can the entire city cannot be against her. It is statistically very unlikely that she is doing nothing wrong, and everyone else is wrong. She brushed me off and said "im just feeling this way because of the weather".

I feel terrible for thinking this way about my mother.

I really hope I am over analyzing this, and fretting over nothing. I really hope she meets someone that makes her happy.

But I believe its wrong to live vicariously through ones children. And upon hearing that oes children are succeeding, getting good jobs, building meaningful relationships, it shouldnt make one upset to hear those things.

I think the worst feeling I have, is that I have no desire to be around her anymore. I hate hearing her talk nasty things about other people. I have so much pity for her. but i dont want to console her, and to go out of my way to positively reinforce these feelings and attitudes of hers.

How can a child think this way about their mother? This is all very selfish of me. Does this make me a terrible person?
>>
My situation with my mom was like this: she was an alcoholic, when I was able to get away from her, I did. Kept in contact over the phone for years, she always gave me subtle guilt trips, always tried to make me feel bad; I kept up the contact for her sake, not mine. After 9 years of this, I made moves to permanently cut her out of my life. Moved, new phone number, made new email, whatever that gave her a way to contact me. I'm much happier. It was a hard decision, I cried for weeks over it - I still care about her as a human being, but when you have a situation like that, that makes you so miserable, things eventually come to a point where you make a choice.

I always put others needs in front of my own, always bent over backwards for people, and when I started to distance myself from them they started trashing me and telling me I was a bad person.

Now I just live for myself and don't let other people manipulate me. It's an exhilirating feeling, being rid of all that sadness and anger and always worrying about how your actions will affect this other person.
>>
>>18125821
Be frank with her op.

Tell her shes being an unlikable angry cunt. Tell her nobody wants to be around a person like that.

None of this willl help her change however. She is who she is. So maybe dont even bother.

Its a tough situation. I didn't help any. Sorry. This ones tough this makes me reflect on my own attitude as well. I hope im not overly negative.
