I don't have good advice OP, but I'll tell you how it stopped for me

when I was a teen, I was extremely anxious whenever I left the house

growing up, I started "dying in the inside", abandoned my dreams, stopped giving a fuck about everything

I always absolutely hate leaving the house, I'm still agoraphobic in that sense but now when I do, I'm just bored and bitter, no longer anxious at all

I think it as something to do as perceiving danger in everything, including what people think and not being able to return to a safe haven, your home, so since I don't want to be alive, I don't perceive that danger anymore, or something

so yeah, you're anxious because you feel and you care, if you stop feeling and caring, you won't be anxious anymore (and you'll be dead inside)

almost too obvious to even say but learn some programming and get a low level programming job

There are tech schools. You don't have to be a programmer if that's not your thing.

Get a commercial driver's license (CDL). Get trained as a welder. There's also being like a med tech or something related.

This is the life you will live with an addict. You have to be prepared to leave if they make no attempt to get better

Life with an addict will lead to you and your relationship going through sober periods and relapses. This will occur for all of the relationship, the only change will be the length of the periods. If his problem worsens you will have to confront him, and eventually a choice will have to be made. Depending on what your feelings are you can try to help him, but as we all know, you can't change someone who isn't you.

if he doesn't want to change or get better then he won't. there's only so much you can do about it. be supportive and be aware that it is a constant struggle, but also don't push yourself if you don't think you can handle the burden. you matter too.

nice try, fbi

no dickhead, i just want to download some movies. i use the ebooks and bookz on undernet, but for music and movies dont know where to look

What kind of dog breed is in the picture?

Dogs are worth it btw

>>18106833

no one really knows. as a general rule the worst case scenario is that you give your dog a VERY boring life, but thats a lot better than the life they would have gotten otherwise. even if someone else did adopt them, some other dog would be suffering a bad fate. so adopting a dog at least guarantees one extra slot of boring life in place of suffering or ended life.

beyond that its hard to say. a lot of people dont realize how little yhey want to play with a dog. some dogs NEED to be played with all day or they're just sitting there depressed. others dont need played with at all. unfortunately you can't really predict personalities after homing as your first impression is just them excited to meet someone.

I love my dog and theres enough space for her but she doesn't know how to play on her own. i even bought a really expensive toy that moves on its own but shes just afraid of it. she can only play if someone else is playing iwth her and i worry its lead to a miserable life because i admittedly dont play with her for more than ten minutes or so a day (on top of about 20 to 30 minutes for a walk).

>>18106845
I did plan to go to a shelter first to see if they have anything that needs a home.

Knowing how much I hate the outdoors, any dog that needs plenty of exercise is out of the question.

Do different breeds have different tendencies towards needing someone to play with? My mother's dog is very affectionate but 90% of the time he just prefers napping on her feet, and I'd like that, but I live alone and I fear if I left that kind of a dog alone for full 8 hours for work her heart would stop.

V20 no question, but you are showing the G5 in the pic.

V20 has stellar dual rear cameras, clever "second display" and a DAC for great audio using headphones. LG's V-series is high end, the Nexus line is midrange (and the 6P is oldballs now)

Yar I has a V20. Some advantages are SD card slot, removable battery, dual rear cameras (wide angle is useful) and IR blaster. It's the first smartphone to basically totally satisfy me.

>>18106812
id stay away from LG, had the Nexus 4(made by LG) and the LG G3 and they all stopped working days after my warranty expired

Why don't you comment on her pictures? You will probably make her happy.

>>18106826
A few reasons

1. I dont want to give her false hope
2. I dont want her to think I like her because im a nice guy who just randomly gives her attention
3. This should be a lesson to her to get better

>>18106803
>Does this just mean she is not smart enough to take a hint and change?

I think so.

>>18106802
>The relationship isn't sexual at all, and neither of us want to take it that way,

What? When spending time with girl friends don't you keep and open mind and an erect, loaded dick in case any possibility arises?

Don't you want to be prepared?

People have less than ideal childhoods all the time and it doesn't mean shit.

Your problems aren't caused by "muh chilhood". They are caused by you. Take responsibility.

Also, many people find it hard to concentrate... it's because what they are trying to concentrate on is fucking boring and pointless (to them). And everyone has problems socializing at some point or another. Some people never learn. But anyone can.

>mfw just jacked off without porn and then saw this thread
you just have to have willpower... it helps if you become disgusted by the porn industry

Put on pants and a belt as soon as you open your eyes in the morning. Get fully dressed. Stay active. Go to public places. Open your windows. Watch tv. Browse blue boards only. Get fully dressed right after a shower. Don't remove clothes till you are sure you are falling asleep.

>>18106749
Not OP but fapping to pictures is fine right? Just don't use porn videos?

1. Of course housing is expensive in college towns, there is extremely high demand
2. Leases get more expensive with more people because there is more risk assumed by having multiple tenants

Why don't you just move?

Is she fat?
Are you a bitch nigger?

Shes fat and she;s white and she called me a nigger just to try to get under my skin.

We're both men; never been too emotional around each other, but we said most of what we need to say to each other. We're really close.

I think you should convince him to hold off until he can no longer enjoy life. Maybe schedule some time away together and squeeze everything you can out of his last moments. Do some sort of shit you've never done - a test of manhood like running with the bulls, sky diving, auto racing, or some other dangerous shit. After all, if he dies doing it at least he got an honorable death and if not, you have memories to hang onto about how your dad was a bad ass until the end. Hopefully he has insurance that pays him while he is unable to work so you can do this. You can file FMLA if you have been with your employer for a year and get 12 weeks off, assuming US.

>>18106649
I'm only 21, and college student, so we won't be running with the bulls anytime soon. He's in too much pain anyway. I'm definitely feeling the full weight of all the responsibilities I'm going to inherit. But yeah, I'm hoping I can drink with him one last time; we used to drink together and have backyard bonfires every Friday--me him and my friends. Poor man's only 51.

>>18106634
