TLDR: AirForce vet, Should I go to College or Marines?
Background: >Join the Air Force last summer
>Get injured in basic, get sent to medhold for 5 months
>Medical Discharge through the medboard process
>get told with my reenlistment code the only ones that will take me back are the Marines (I talked to all 5 branches)
>Have GI bill waiting for me and pending VA disability rating
>22 years old, poor as fuck
I still want to serve and I really enjoyed what little I got of the military life. It sounds like I should be good to serve again after a year or so. Basically I'm asking should I go back to school for IT or go be a Marine doing IT

Do you want to be a Marine?
You will get paid more in IT as a civilian and at times the Corps is going to suuuuuuuck.
But you get to be a US Marine.
For some people, like both of my sons, being a Marine is worth all of the BS. They take great pride in it.
For most people, it's not worth it.

>>18097810
I loved the idea of being in the military. I wouldn't mind going through all the bullshit to become a Marine. I do have alot more pride in myself just saying I served.
I know i'll get payed more as a civilian but to me with all the benefits I feel that being a Marine would still be worth it at the end of the day.

Hey /adv/, I'd like to hear your thoughts on a situation I'm in. I am posting this purely to hear people's opinions on the limited information I'm providing but I hope you can make a good judgment it.
Some months ago I met a chick who at the time told me she was suicidal. I offered her friendship and showed her I cared about her survival, and we remained friends on and off for a few months.
After a rough breakup with my ex, she came in and kind of listened to everything that was happening and offered a positive supportive role in our friendship. After a month of really spending more time together I found myself motivated by my newfound freedom and the things she was telling me- very affirming support of my artwork, of my ambitions, things like that.
After enough time passed, she confided that she deeply cares for me romantically. I thanked her but suggested that we shouldn't for a few reasons including that I just got out of my relationship. As we started hanging out into the new year, she would do things like buy my lunch or other things that were really pleasant. She started showing me how good someone could be to me. As a friend she started surpassing all of the women I've dated, which eventually led me to both raise my standards and also develop feelings in return.
After enough time, I started to finally reciprocate the feelings of love, but then she started pulling away, expressing that maybe we shouldn't for a while, maybe we should stop. I didn't really buy into it and dismissed this. We kept meeting up, kept having fun, kept smiling.
I asked her to be my girlfriend one day, and she immediately said yes, but then moments later retracted it. I didn't really understand. [Cont'd]

Late that night, when we talked on the phone, she confessed to me that she had lied to me. She had a boyfriend the entire time we've known eachother. A long distance guy that she's been seeing for over 2 years but has cheated on more than once, going so far as having a second relationship (similar to the one we were making) around the time I met her.
I forgave her because she was honest, as my ex had actually done this same thing to me. Literally the exact same thing- only this time the guy knew what was happening the whole time. More about him later.
Anyway, she spent like a week unsure what she was doing, and even though I didn't care to stay out of self-respect, I wanted to force her to choose someone. In the end, she chose him.
As a friend, the only thing I cared about was her happiness and survival. She seems hell-bent on staying with him in some bid to make up for all the betrayal. As for me, as much as I care about her, I don't want to date her even though my feelings remain. I do however wish to remain her friend and keep the happiness and motivation she gives me as a creator strong. She's the person who's inspired me the most artistically and I honestly never felt so strongly about someone before.
I'm still going out to meet new people and get back into the swing of things romantically but I find myself at a sort of cross-roads. I want to continue being the person I was before we started getting involved. The feelings are there but honestly I just care about seeing my friend happy. I myself find my own happiness every day. I hurt sometimes over what happened, but it's just how it goes.

Anyway /adv/, I ask what you think of this situation.
About the other guy, I can tell you the boyfriend is honestly the biggest loser I've ever spoken to because of how legitimately obsessed he is over her. It's really creepy. Being with him made her go toward suicide- she doesn't find happiness like she had when we were hardly even dating. He's incapable of giving my friend happiness and I think she'd be better off /alone/ than with him. Honestly hate this guy. I don't plan on dating her if she ends up single, but I reaaaally fucking do not like him. That's kind of unrelated but I felt I should share it.

How do I get rid of a strep throat fast?

Your get antibiotics from the doctor. You drink plenty of fluids. You try hard not to cough, pull mucus from your throat, or otherwise irritate the throat more than normal.
>>
>>18098276
This, mostly. Coughing can irritate the throat but productive coughs (ie. lots of mucus) can remove the infection faster.
Also load up on guaifenisen.

Stop sucking dick for starters.
At what stage of your life do you start trying to find someone to start a family with?
I'm 23 now, soon turning 24. I know that I'm too young right now, but not so long ago I went out for some drinks with a 35 year-old friend, and at the end of the night he broke down crying saying that he'd left things too late and fucked up his chances of having a family by not marrying when he had the opportunity, in his 20's. My uncle is in his 30's and is trying for a baby with his fiancée with little luck, it seems like they got together because of wanting a family and yet it's still too late for them.
The only girls my age I meet seem to be interested in sex / having fun for another 10 years before settling down (I live in pic related and people are sill overcompensating like crazy over Franco and the the Catholic Church controlling every aspect of people's lives). I had a relationship with an older woman but it ended because she was too worried about being judged by other people.
How do I get this bullshit out of my mind?

Shameless self-bump

As soon as you start having relationships you are looking, and if you aren't you are a fool.
>>
Ask yourself this. What would make you happier at the end of the day?
Being lonely alone, being stuck with someone who will irritate you, or having to deal with screaming children?
Or, you can look at it from a different perspective:
Being independent and free, being with someone who loves you, or leaving a legacy of yourself for the future?
I'm trying to tell you that it's not bullshit unless you make it bullshit.

It's just a fantasy, she's not expecting you to be a fat bald middle aged man. I bet you've fantasised about women totally unlike your gf, but that doesn't mean you find her any less attractive. People often fantasise about thing they don't have on daily basis or don't even particularly want to have, that's the whole point.

>Ex and I are on good terms
>She's home for school so we hangout (a few days ago)
>Ever since been in a horrid mood
>Romantic feelings aren't coming back, but still insanely sexually attracted to her and is getting in my head
This isn't the first time this has happened, not with an ex other times but with female friends. Sometimes I find I'll develop what can only be described as a "sexual obsession" towards a female friend. It honestly gets to the point where fucking that specific person is pretty much all I can think about and it has a significantly negative effect on my mood and overall mental state.
I know it's normal for a guy to think about fucking his female friends, and I know it's normal for a guy to struggle to be platonic friends with girls he's attracted to. However I'm very concerned about how much it gets to me. It gets all up in my head and drives me insane, depresses me and sky rockets my anxiety levels. Letting my head get in such a tizzy over an attractive friend not wanting to bang can't be normal

I do the same thing sometimes mate. If I just want to get laid in general but I cant - like if I'm having a dry spell or whatever - that's fine, I can cope with that. However, when I get in to my head that I want to have sex with a specific person and I can't it makes me angry as all hell, and that'll last anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days.
I'd love to tell you what the solution is, but I have absolutely no idea.

>>18097621
So is it more a general sexual frustration that I'm just relating to a specific person

Hey
In may I'm finishing high school.
My grades are fine, I won't fuck up the finals, I have a great girlfriend who loves me and he'll, I love her too. I'm a rather smart guy, not a Mensa type genius but still. I have a nice voice, I have the gab, good communication skills, pretty handsome face and everyone tells me that I'm the type of a guy who's gonna "always get by in life", a go-getter
Then why the fuck do I feel like the whole world is going to eat me alive, like I'm gonna die in a fucking pregame? Why don't I have the slightest idea what the fuck to do with myself and the sheer thought of the future scares me shitless

too much expectations for yourself but you know deep down you're still just a fallible person. Get out of your head a bit and don't get sucked up by your ego, you'll be fine kid

Probably because you've spent a lot of time on this website which is populated by fuckups who think the world is against them.

Read the gorilla mindset or something. You seem to be stuck in a negative thought loop/self talk process that is destroying your ambition and your child-like adoration for discovering your potential.
In a job interview for an entry level job like fast food how do I explain a long 8-10 year gap without working? I never got a job because I had horrible anxiety with minor autism and I couldn't deal with the pressure of job interviews. I know this isn't a good excuse but that's the truth. Do I tell them the truth?

Definitely.
I have social anxiety that extends to fearing judgement from family members, so any time I get to be alone is like unwinding after a really long day.
>>
>>18097278
Yeah. I think it might be due to the fact that we don't have to behave in a way we dislike when we are alone. Like there is a freedom to having no one around to witness your weirdness or real feelings for things, and when people are around you throw up an image to avoid things you consider taboo in social settings.
Maybe it boils down to our own insecurities and fears, and not necessarily other people.
I'd love to hear more people talk about this.

yeah you get feel judgment free and dont have to talk with people u dont like

My head hurts and the sensation of the feeling slightly before vomitting is bothering me, but I don't need to vomit. I feel physically ill, no idea how to describe it, it's like someone put tons of painkillers into my mind and everything muffled. Each next day is getting worse. It recently got also harder for me to differentiate between dreams and reality, so I do things in my dreams and think I actually did it. This whole reality lost the feeling of realness and it's hard to do anything. What should I do?

Seek professional help, this sounds serious if it's interfering with your daily life and functionality.
>>
>>18097176
I don't really have a daily life anymore. I got recently into a crash and tried to work on my car today and it felt like someone else was doing it. In the past after weeks of persuading myself I tried to go to a therapist, but it was such a bad experience and made me focus on my issues more I think, which made them worse. Professional help seems to not help.

For the past couple of months sex with my girlfriend has been almost a chore, it's not really that great and frankly she bores me. We try new things and after a while she just wants to go back to vanilla sex. I don't want to break up with her over this because she's my best friend but I would probably jump at the chance to cheat.
What do /adv/ ?

well the first step is to tell HER this shit. not us.
and when you talk to her, focus on YOU and your feelings and not stat on what you think the problems are with her.
it will make her more empathetic and less defensive when listening to you.

>>18097129
If your still getting a hard on than what's the big deal? Unless you're like on a Viagra drip it sounds like you're still into her.

>>18097129
What's the guarantee the girl you want to cheat with will not be into vanilla sex purely?

Tl;dr how do you kill boredom?
Hi. I noticed I got chubbier because I eat everything I have in my fridge. This is due to the fact that I'm very bored at home and I find eating helpful to kill boredom. I want to get rid of this bad habit and was wondering what you all do when you are bored.
I tried watching movies or playing video games but that makes me want food even more. I play guitar daily but that's only for an hour or so. Now I'm looking at meditation since it might help me.
