I feel like I care about my height more than other people do (if people even care about another persons height)
I just dont feel human. Im 5'3 and I feel like a freak everywhere I go because im so short. Like im expected to be much much taller. starting to lose sleep over being the weird short guy.
I just dont know how to love myself being this tall. it doesnt make any sense. people walk all over me, treat me like shit, and expect me to be okay with it because im short. I dont even think id hate myself if people werent so fucking rude to me for no reason.
my question is, how do I raise my confidence and get over my height? I feel like the moment I get over it is the moment other people treat me with respect. I feel like if I became confident I would move from being the weird short guy to the unapproachable overly charismatic weird short guy.

I'm 4'10" and everyone is taller than me. I used to be insecure about my height too, then I realized that I really couldn't change it no matter how I worried, so I might as well accept it. Now, it feels natural to me.
I can't think of a single instance in which I've cared about someone's height. All I care about is the actual person.

Just wanted to ask something real quick, It won't be some long-biased thing I just really want to know how long it usually takes for girls to message guys on Dating sites like Tinder, OkCupid and eHarmony and such. Which site is better for constant chatting and making friends? which are a waste of time? I know making friends is one of the bigger parts of building a relationship and I want to start doing that but haven't had luck and the girls I message with friendly open-minded shit often don't message me back. I actually don't even get looked at most of the time by people and It feels like if I don't fit the perfect criteria (hot body, well-off, car, and living alone) Girl's won't give a fuck. Me on the other hand, I have been messaging chicks for a while now and they just don't give a shit most of the time. The ones I get a bit far with having a decent conversation even asking for names which I don't usually do unless we're both comfortable, they don't stick for very long.
What works? what doesn't?

from the other side:
what works:
- opening with a question that actually shows interest in the person (i.e. not "hi" or "what are you up to")
- putting effort into your replies, questions
- when I ask you a question, please write things that aren't one-sentence responses, so that I can keep the conversation going
what doesn't work:
- copy/pasting the same generic greeting to everyone
- excessive swearing (a little is fine, if you use it in every sentence I think you're an edgy thirteen-year-old)
- spelling errors
- seeming mean/unkind to others, unintelligent, or narcissistic

I can tell you that I have done that very well but even still I don't get far. Maybe the age of the people I talk to also matters? What age group is best for this kind of thing? I feel like being 19 is a big disadvantage for meeting new girls... Most of them just want to brag from what I can tell. Be it passively or outright out in the open.
So I was given a puppy a while ago and have no idea what to do. I know it's part husky but I forgot the name of the other mix. It was a small dog. Any idea what it could be?

Well to get to the point
I don't enjoy learning to code
I like actually programming but I really have no positive feelings for the learning process which there is still 98% of to go.
Do you all think that is enough to change major? Id be switching to psychology which I know I have a passion for but the job prospects looks so much worse.
what do you all think?

You like algorithm/programming but hate coding?
perhaps look at
Numerical analysis (note that this has very little to do with actual number and much more to do with Taylor expansion and convergence of iterative processes)
or mathematical programming (optimization)
Both are much harder but you don't really need to learn to code, just need to think a lot.
>psychology
wtf lol
>>
>>18069170
If you have a passion for delving into the demon realm of human madness, and enjoy the idea of algorithms and code I recommend you at least get a Minor in CS, that will make you look more attractive, also take statistics courses to bolster your capability to do data-oriented analysis because you will probably have to do some type of research related thing to be successful

How do you know that?
Plus having a passion for something and enjoying to study it in academia are two VERY different things.
>but the job prospects looks so much worse
Saying "so much worse" is putting it very lightly.
>what do you all think?
Stick with Comp Sci and enjoy your STEM Major privilege.

I've been dating him sinice late July last year and mid August he was talking about his ex girlfriend showing up at his work stalking him or his fan club he says. This didn't really concern me because I had an ex like that at the time but it was a few weeks after that I had lost my phone for a day where I logged onto facebook onto his home computer where that white box popped up (which I can only guess is recents) that read from bottom to top
My log in (as oldest I think) then his ex girlfriends twice then his login which I had just logged him out. Does this mean anything? I love him but I'm so scared that he cheated on me so early on and if so I want to get out of this relationship as soon as possible.

I have a new job at a cocktail bar
I need to memorize 60 cocktail specs in roughly 2 weeks, with only the sheet specs to go off
on top of that i need to memorise 30 colour codings for juices and premades (IE red/green stripe = orange juice, white/brown stripe = coconut water)
>mfw
I have poor memory, and i prefer to memorize things practically so i need advice on memorisation and tips and tricks on how to retain complex information on paper quickly

Mock up a duplicate of the bar in your home, and drill repeatedly on where things are and what bottles to reach for for each recipe. Your body memory (turn now, reach here, etc) will learn faster than just studying a book.

So, for the last month or so, there's been a steady decline in my positive mood. More specifically, I'm becoming distant and isolated from everything in my life. Significant other, family, friends, etc., you name it, they're all starting to become background noise. All I can do is narcissistically focus on my own failures and likelyhood that I'm going to end up living my life unfulfilled, despite the fact that from a professional standpoint, my réponse imitiez are still being mainted and addressed just fine. Something has to give at this point. How do you restart? How do you let the past go? How do find the courage to do what's best?

Train your focus elsewhere. De-centralize.
Focus on anything from the way your heart beats without you to the way people move outside of your control.
Meditate, and you can regain a connection to life. People often do "wrong" things simply out of habit. Meditation trains you to break out of patterns.
Some good books are "Mindfulness in Plain English" and "The Mind Illuminated" (might be wrong, it is written by John Yates Culadasa)
Both are available for free online, the second might be only on gen.lib

So a while back about a month after i had started seeing this guy, my boyfriend was talking about how his ex kept stalking him work and then a week after that i was trying to log on my facebook on his home computer I saw his in the recent login history ( you know when you type in your email and it shows history) his ex had logged in two times after me and then his email two times after that. Does this mean anything? Or am I wrong about the login thing? Please I need help

I have been diagnised with ADHD and a severe anxiety disorder.
My shrink prescribed these for me?
Now I think they made me some good, but I read everywhere that once you're out of them it's like trying to get detoxicated from heroin.
Is Clonazepam a good drug for ADHD?
And am I better off not taking it, knowing it may be a one way in and no way out?
The doctor prescribed a total of 1mg per day and not 2 like pic shows.

Klonapin will fuck you up and the withdrawals can kill you

clonazepam is not for adhd, but its possible that by calming you down it might affect your ability to concentrate (for better or worse)
shit can turn you into a junkie if abused, but if you take it as prescribed and honest with doc then you'll be ok...I dont think its something you'd want to take forever though, even adhd meds mess people up longterm sometimes
hopefully you can try to take it less often when you feel better

Both are pretty bad, but one is permanently attached to you while in college. Just manage your time better so you dont have to fret and age yourself faster from stress and lack of sleep. Open that book instead of jerking off/picking up that controller/mouse

cramming, of course
sleeplessness is impermanent, that grade/mark/assignment is not.

cry
have a walk
take a bit of a substance of your liking
sleep
under no circumstances whine to her about how much you miss her, she feels the same and dont need more pressure than theres already
youll need a few days to settle down, it will sound foolish, but get a bit of distance from her until you are ok

What do you find humourous /adv/?
I ask b/c I always feel like a fucking stick-in-the-mud everytime my friends make jokes. It's either "LOL SO RANDUMB AND OFFENSIVE LOL" attention-whore style humor or "post-ironic" vapidness. I consider myself to be a pretty relaxed guy but I don't see how anyone could find anyone of these styles of humor funny, repeated over-and-over again even less. It's unnatural, often not clever, and is often painfully by-the-numbers in its attempts to be unpredictable. It's seriously becoming an issue in the sense that some conversations with my friends are just me internally cringing at their shit-tier humour and I have to make up some random excuse to leave.
Admittedly I may not be the target audience for that type of humour considering my preferred style is drier and more satirical (Although more physical types of humor can be great, depending on their timing and execution). That's why I want to say, for people that like the FilthyFrank, H3h3, Neil Cecierega, etc type of humour, why do you find that funny? Because I struggle to find any merit with them or anyone like them. Am I just autistic or is the humor autistic?

You probably just have friends that have a shitty sense of humor. I know this one guy my age that kept on making me watch these youtube videos of TF2 characters lip-syncing to popular music.
I guess you shouldn't be friends with people who are into things that annoy you. Try to find people that like the same stuff you like or are more open to it.
