Value on X depends on person Y's perception of X's value.
If you don't hold your own life dear so be it, if you don't even hold anyone else so dear in order to live for them, so be it.

I think like you in one way, our thoughts and our mind will cease to exist just like a toaster stops working or a flame burns out.
So why bother? I find the joy in amusing things like sex vidya or love, i also have something i want to accomplish because i see it as a challenge and that's the spirit. We're not here for long but i sure as hell want to enjoy my time.

>>18094359
Also, you're stuck on thinking about others and what others may think, ditch that shit.

Well, I have a dream. I want to change the world. I have wanted to change the world for so long and it was not until my grandfather's passing I began to act. I felt as if the state could have done so much more then I realised then and there, it solidified the fact to me that we as people are a currency. There was so much more they could have done for him when he was healthy and he was badly treated at the home he had to live in.

I read Mein Kampf a while back. I realised that Hitler and I shared a lot of the same philosophy and thoughts.

My dream is to change the world and leave my permanent mark on humanity. To go down in history as somebody who did something of honour. A bit far fetched but it keeps me going.

another thing is when i was younger for a long time i had no idea what i wanted to do for a living whenever someone asked me. the first thing i thought i'd like to be is a comedian cause i've always enjoyed making people laugh. but i have no idea how to start writing jokes or what type of comedy id like to do if i were to (sketch comic, stand-up, etc) and i have social anxiety issues so i don't know how i would do that either.

but like i said i just have no idea what to go for. all i know is that i want to be extremely good at whatever it is i do

I also feel a significant amount of anger because my father, who makes a ton of money in business, ALWAYS told me to go the academic route and that there would be both money and passion there. He said business was soulless.

But let's face it... there isn't that much benefit to being well educated today.

>>18094348
You know, I don't know your father in and out but the fact he makes a lot of money in business and has enough clout to say it's soulless shows he cares.

Money is still important in our society mind you, but as a means to an end. I think your dad merely wants you to find a sense of fulfillment. I've a kid brother who wants to make it it big but all he ever talks about is nothing but the next big get-rich-scheme.

Perhaps business will be a fulfilling path for you, so maybe the message isn't so much that business is soulless so much as one should find a filter between work and home or work and pleasure.

sounds like a fag

>I honestly do get a bit jealous at times. Like when A tags others in memes and not me, etc.

Chill, you are not his GF dude. He can have more than one friend. It's fine to say he obsesses too much, but don't do it out of jealousy.

>>18094129
It never goes well. Ever.

At some point no after how rosy things might seem it causes tension and you'll lose your friend your gf or both

If they dated for the sex and fun, I'd say no biggie. But if they were together for a longer period emotions will be involved on one side at least, most likely your friend. I wouldn't try unless it was my only only option (and I count meeting new people as a viable option).

Pretty big dick move unless you get verbal consent from your bud. How would you feel if it was the other way round?

More than likely you just aren't a priority. Treat them the same way

>>18094132
This senpai, increase your value and they'll make openings for you. If you are 6/10 or lower work on charisma and confidence to supplement your shit genes, if lower than 4 get rich or find 2/10 uggo. No matter what, work on your style and hide that powerlevel if want to have some success unless you are a 9 or 10 in which case any autismal displays will register as cute and quirky. Also, start lifting.

>Why does every girl I talk to always say they're busy? They'll meet me but it's always in 1 or 2 months.

Do they eventually meet with you or not?

I would imagine it's possible in some subjects. English and philosophy.

If you self study diligently you can learn a shitload, only problem is you want to have a good professor for the harder math courses.

I recommend making use of MIT Opencourseware, and obtaining or renting Early Transcendentals by Stewart to get your Calculus legs.

>>18094092

Do you think that other courses are just too complex to learn them this way?

>>18094105

Sounds good, I'll check it out. Another question that I have: How likely do you think it is to get employed in a field that you studied this way but did not get a college degree to back it up?

Learn castellan and then just drop 2nd person plural.

As for slang there is really no safe way of learning it as even Mexican Spanish differs greatly from area to area.

>>18094080
I'll try to look for some online courses for castellan then. Other recommendatios are also welcome.

Check out the /int/ wiki, decent place to start out.

Also you want to start browsing hispachan once you are reasonably fluent.

Whats on your mind? What are the problems you're facing right now?

Welcome to 4chan we are all useless except for the guys who make fanart and shit

I often hear people tell me I'm a "good guy", so I guess that means I'm useful in a place that isn't looked for in jobs? Or relevant in real life?

I might know what you mean though, all through my life I thought I was pretty good at drawing until I started seriously to become an artist. ALL I ever got told was how bad my art was, so I full-on ragequit and haven't touched any form of art media since. Although I really should since my dad bought me some pencils and a book for christmas.....

I dunno. You dont have to really be good at anything outside of a job or the like. Skills are only really relevant in relation to a demand. If there is no demand like there is in my lifestyle then being useless at everything is fine.

Uniqlo or something is a nice store, not sure if they have online shit but probably do.

>>18093978
Ok thanks for that

>hey I havent gotten a chance to talk to you yet
>what kind of vidya do you like?

keep it short, head off as soon as it dies
>it was nice talking to you, see you tomorrow

next time
>"hey nameofgirl, hows your day going?"
while shes talking think about something you can comment on and branch out another question/convo.

when you think itd be good ask for her number, just text when you can bc its preferred by you people.

>>18093942
>I just want to feel fulfilled and happy again.

Don't put that on her. Talk to her and whatever, but keep in mind she can decide NOT to date you. That's not an insult and it doesn't speak badly about you. She might have many reasons to say no that haven nothing to do with you. Manage your expectations.

>>18093942
You've never had so much as a conversation and already you've decided she's perfect for you?
This will only end in tears.

>>18093916

Dive in that shit. Also, fantastic image OP, I'm not too sure why but holy fuck is that pleasing to the eye.

>>18093916
i know that problem, it happens to my cat every day, you just have to sew it. the problem is: after many farts, the cats stomach fills up with gas and explodes, you can also use it as a stinky bomb!

>>18093916
I'm gonna need pics of this

You're planning ahead way too much. Don't even think about it until it happens, then speak slowly, reservedly and concisely.

I have this problem sometimes. You're letting your imagination take over -- getting caught up on how you think it will be rather than the reality of the situation. Also, you could ignore the girls, and wait until they talk to you -- even if they don't, someone will.

They might be aesthetically pleasing, but if that's all you see in them past surface details and stuff you haven't gleaned in listening in on their conversations then chances are that's all they are for you -- aesthetically pleasing -- and therefore they've got nothing your left hand can't do for you.

TL;DR focus on improving your speaking and yourself overall -- pick up a couple hobbies, even if they're kind of weird, and get good at them. You're probably young so you have plenty of time to improve -- they might never improve past the point at they're at, and all beauty fades eventually. So get skilled.

I dont think i just see them as sex objects, maybe some, but this girl has similar music taste as i do and im interested to learn more about her, im just a fucking idiot who gets nervous for no reason. Im also not a boring neet, im very invested in art of design and architecture, good with cars, etc i have plenty of hobbies, im just bad with people i guess

>>18093958
You're still thinking a little far ahead, I think. Which is a pretty hard habit to break, but it's one that's probably gonna need to go.

>>18093778

Your gf isn't answering and you decide to moan about it on /adv/ instead of doing something? I'd understand if it was some chick you're just getting to know, but goddamn, just call her if the radio silence bothers you, it's your damn gf.

>>18093785

I called a few hours ago, no answer, so I left a message

>>18093801
Go check if everything is okay?
Holy fuck, if my boyfriend doesn't reply for 12 hours I go batshit crazy.
