Hi /adv/, how you doing? I'm writing this because i'm very torn about a decision to make. It's not very life-defining decision, but still i think it could be very important to me.
Yesterday i went out with some friends and we passed a lot of time taking picturess with our smarthphones. Yes /p/, i know, everything we did is grubbish but, here's the point: i really enjoyed taking pictures of the sea, boats, the sand, sunset, my friends and i was constantly looking for some kind of magical moment that would have made the perfect shot. I never considered photography before, and i never liked taking pictures of myself, i just like the world and how the happiness is hidden in nature and natural looks and movements of animals and persons. My friends told me i took great pictures and they loved them, i wasn't so sure about what i did and getting home i realized they were not so good as i throught, but still, i liked it.
Here's the question: knowing that photography for me will be just a hobby and not a job, and knowing that is a very expensive one, what should i do?
I mean: if photography was a girl, i really like her right now. But what if, when i start to know her more and more, i don't like her anymore?
Also, should i post this on /p/ or here is fine? I didn't wanted to get somebody upset or something.

Just get a cheap DSLR from second hand or pawn shop and start shooting. Nothing to be torn about. If it works out? Woohooo!! And get some better gear.
If not, then at least you didn't spend a shitload of money on it. Just get like a D90 or something from years ago. Should only be like $300 by now.

Will do, thanks :)

Peeking at girls is a bad practice, but it has slowly became my habit because I have done it too much. I can't control myself but to quickly peek. How do I stop myself peeking at girls?

I'm a relatively happy person from what I know, kinda iffy childhood but besides that I'm fine. Though, with relationships I can't really develop a solid bond with others.
I can have a relationship and keep it for some time but I just get anxiety over time that seems to stem from nowhere. It gets so unbearable that I have to cut off the relationship just to make it stop. That and I get distant which I've also been trying to control but it has been difficult.
It's pretty much made it extremely difficult to form an emotional bond with others which is something I strive for a lot. But whenever I get it this just happens.
What can I do to help with this?

Once you get too close to someone you start to fear that? Or is it more like you are afraid that the person is not who you thought he or she would be?
Also mentioning that you are a happy person is a red flag on advice, will give you no replies for some reason 90% of the time.
It took me a long time to open up to my partner too, you will have to keep him at bay until you feel ready for it. Or maybe you should generally plan how you want to get closer and where your limits are?
>>
>>18085804
If I had to put it under those two I'd say it's closer to the latter.
Oh, I'll remember that for later. I just didn't want to mislead into making people think it could be correlated with depression or something. Thanks.
Keeping them at bay and plan out bonding? How do you think I should about that? How long did it take for you to feel comfortable with your partner?

I'm confused, I've always been overweight and overeating was kinda normal to me, but for the past week I seem to be randomly throwing up no matter what/how much I eat.
I've been to a doctor thinking it was a virus or something, but they couldn't find anything and said that it might be due to stress.
It's not getting better and I'm afraid that I might be developing some kind of eating disorder. Any experiences or ideas in regards to this?

I have a neighbor, a friend of mine who is going away to another state. He is having a really big going away party tonight with a lot of his friends and i was invited.
Gonna greentext for a bit
>Have a problem with drinking excessively
>drank so much i had to see a doctor not too long ago, my liver is elevated to the point where it physically hurts my entire chest.
>Messed up a few times and got black out drunk anyway
>Finally cut all booze 6 days ago
>Starting to go through alcohol withdrawals
>Don't feel sociable
>I feel like I am not really that fun at a party with mostly strangers unless i am drinking
>Kinda feeling lonely and isolated tonight
So i made a appearance gave him a beer, wished him the best of luck and kinda left shortly after. He was kinda bummed that I was leaving so early and i kinda feel bad. Did i make the right decision? i feel really shitty, like if I was drinking i would have gone over and made some friends but instead I left. I kinda don't wanna be around a bunch of drunk people right now though. Should i go back i am torn.

what the hell is wrong with me
why do i keep doing this shit
ive never met a girl that i actually want to keep. as soon as I go on a date with them (or get their number if theyre a complete stranger) my interest starts to drop. Its not just a "oh I had sex/blowjob/handjob pump n dump time" thing either, ill lose interest before anything sexual happens. I force myself through it because I know I want a relationship, but I also know Im not going to like it. It really hearts my heart too because a lot of these girls completely fall for me and have no clue why I want to break things off because Ive been lieing to them about how I feel. I keep trying to "fake it until you make it" but that just isnt working. what the fuck do I do to beat this?

I think you should stop lying about how you feel, and you absolutely should stop acting in a sexual manner with someone who is into you unless you have an honest conversation about where things are likely to go.
You don't have to commit to rejecting someone immediately, but you can let these people know you're still figuring out how you feel about them.
You might want to try talking to a counselor or mental health professional about why you behave the way you do. It's certainly not something that I think text communication on /adv is going to figure out for you.
When I date to find someone to be in a relationship with, I usually meet a lot of women and the majority of them I think something along the lines of "she's nice, but she's not for me". Sometimes it takes a while to find someone who just feels right. Maybe you don't have that capacity at all right now.
Regardless, you should still try to be a decent person.
>>
>>18085527
I have the same problem. I give dudes my number and immediately lose interest.
You have to be honest with yourself, OP. If you have standards that aren't being met (especially from a previous relationship) you aren't going to be happy. But if you're real with yourself about what you want, you'll get it.
Don't force yourself into "relationships" because you want one. You have to be emotionally ready to deal with one. Try finding just a friend first and let it develop from there.

I've been feeling weird recently in terms of sexuality. Sometimes I find myself more attracted to traps and kinda feminine men but not too womanly.
I have been struggling to come to some sort of conclusion. I simultaneously want to be with and be a trap. I don't understand why.
This has kept me up for several nights and I'm not usually an emotional guy but I've cried a few times over this because it keeps happening and I don't understand why.
What is wrong with me?

Well I'm having some career issues, and I've decided that a basket weaving forum on the internet is the best place to ask.
Currently I'm stuck in a 3rd world shithole with crappy opportunities for leaving until I graduate from university, but this being a shithole studying here is not exactly pleasing. On one side I managed to get a complete scholarship on one of the most prestigious universities here (AKA: Most expensive here by far), and so far I have two trimesters in the career. The things is I don't like my career a whole lot, nor do I like my university that much. I also have the option of changing to another university that once was good, but thanks to shitty management it's felt a lot of strikes, is seriously lacking in practical materials, and many of it's professors have left; yet it has both the career I'm more inclined to study, and the people who study there are not all snobs.
So I'm not sure what to do at all, to change and enter a place that will potentially get worse and last a lot longer, but at least has what I "want"; or stay where I am where I can finish earlier, but not in a place I particularly care for.

Check the terms of your scholarship, if you don't complete it, you might have to pay back fees for what you did do
>>
>>18085337
It doesn't specify anything (thank god), I already ask and what happens if I leave is that i'll end up losing the scholarship, "just" that.
>>
>>18085334
I think you should suck it up and continue the course that you know is closer to a guaranteed win. Being in a third world shithole makes it way more important to make certain you don't end up in the terrible place that the majority of your fellow humans are.
Once you're done you are almost certainly going to be in a better position to investigate the alternative career path.

At what point does one lower their standards? It's not possible in America to find non-degenerate women these days, but I've been feeling the urge to enter a relationship lately.

What's non-degenerate for you?
In any case, America's a fucking wasteland for dating. It's damn near impossible to find a single man who still acts like a man who wants to take control in a relationship. All that's left besides the homos are the neo-males who try to avoid the responsibilities of being men while simultaneously abusing the male privileges and taking advantage of equality by getting hooked up with more accomplished women who end up taking care of them like children. I understand the many men in America have the same problem with women doing the same thing. If you can stand other religions and cultures, try dating non-Americans. If you're lucky you might find a woman who still holds traditional ideals but is intelligent enough to act like a modern woman.

I'm so fucking bored holy fuck. My only friends are my two coworkers at a non-profit where I don't get fucking paid. I signed up for emergency medical work, to see if it's something I want to make a minor career out of or not. I'm also meeting with two acquaintances for lunch, but goddamn...I used to be buzzing all the time, ecstatic just to do something simple such as playing a videogame, attracting female attention left and right. What happened?

2. Buy/do cooler shit.
3. Find a wife.

Hey /b/...I honestly feel like my fetishes became too extreme and I got bored of normal porn, anyone else feel it?
I can't cum if the girl doesn't shit on the dick during anal (I'm serious, scat fetish is no joke) or if she's not being fucked balls deep in her ass. I hope I'm not being too graphic since this is a blue board. Watching regular porn or nudes of girls don't even get me hard anymore. What can I do?

I'd say try to quit watching porn, at the professional level at least. Think of what you were attracted to before this. Then start spacing out the times you watch porn and masturbate. When you come back to it try watching or thinking about something simple like ass or titties. The longer you wait the more simple thinks may arouse you.
Unless this is stuff you've been into since the beginning of adolesence, I think you can get over it. I used to watch some pretty weird porn, girls shooting tennis balls out of their ass and what not. But now when I do watch porn it might be some homemade tape where you can't even see genitals or just a girl shaking her ass or something.
If this kind of sex is something you want to pursue then hey that's you're right but i dunno how healthy it is physically

What? You like this? You don't like this? You're just here bragging or venting?
You can talk to her about what you want and see if any effort is made or anything changes, you can accept it and stay, or you can decide you don't like it and leave.
Being unhappy and whining about it and staying with her is accepting it. It's just accepting it in a way that's tiresome and unpleasant for the people you whine to.

maybe it looks that way because she doesnt realize you are or because you are doing so in a negative way. why not explain to her in a polite way i really care about you. unless youre a compulsive liar that wouldnt work.

Hey /adv/.
Basically, I'm your typical 19-year-old college student that sometimes goes out and spends most of his time either studying or procrastinating from studying by having hobbies. I'm almost done with my second year in college and I still don't know what I really want to do with my life.
I feel lost and I'm not motivated to do anything at all. I don't really enjoy anything I do anymore. I still live with my dad and I passed up an opportunity to stay fit and join the military because of him, and since then, I haven't really found a reason to live or get better. I had spent months working out constantly and putting it insane amounts of work into myself so that I could be eligible for the job I dreamed of, and just a few months before I was gonna be sent off to boot camp, I was guilt tripped into quitting the prospect of joining the military. As a result, I got depressed and regained all the weight I lost in a short amount of time.
It's been a year since then and I don't know what to do. I tried to raise my grades, stay in shape and still be somewhat social, but I failed in every regard and now; I have mediocre grades, I'm very overweight and I'm too ashamed of myself to continue having any consistent form of a social life, including the possibility. Every week gets harder for me to live through and now, I just want to be by myself, even though it kills me to not be able to have any confidence in myself anymore.
How can I fix this? I've tried everything I could think of, but I just feel like I'm forcing myself to live a life that I don't want, and yet I don't have the energy nor the motivation to do anything about it.
Pic unrelated, i just really like this game.

What's that supposed to mean? Why were you guilt tripped?
Nobody can make you feel or do what you don't want to. You allow them to tell you what to do.
>>
>>18085183
You're going through what everyone goes through.
Just understand that from now until about 30 years of age you're going to be consistently fucking everything up. Don't sweat the small stuff... ie girls, dumb jobs, speeding tickets, grades, etc.
You'll find your way. It will happen.
>>
>>18085183
stop being a pussy and join the military, it'll help you transition from being a sobbing sad cunt into a sick cunt for the rest of your life once you're through with it
it ain't gonna be easy, and it's gonna suck, but it'll make you harder than you ever thought possible and take you to places you've never seen before. you'll join an exclusive community of veterans who understand what the journey is like, too, and you won't regret your choice in joining.
fuck the guilt trip, it's your life and you gotta live it before you die. we don't get long on this earth after all
btw I barely trained before joining the marines. I sucked at college and after 2 years decided I'd go ahead and do something else and see the world a bit before finishing up my degree. I had already put on that freshman 15, but as long as you aren't fatasfatass you'll be fine. I was in that gay ass poolee shit for like 2 weeks max and I told the fuckheads I'm not going to their gay ass meetings/events because I've got a job and don't feel like wasting my time with a bunch of dickheads pretending to be in the military already
