Leave the house and then call the cops on them.

Seeing how responsible of an adult you are will surly help you get into her pants.

>wew lad, but I don't really know what to do after that..

Don't worry, you can always brag to them about how good your taste in music is, and how much you disprove of alcohol, weed, and loud music. They'll understand and praise you.

>>18098186
This guy gets it.

>>18098129
No, you're not a retard. There is a lot of good in you, you're just going through a difficult time right now.

Which aspect of your life is causing you the most stress?

>>18098136
Fear of failure, I don't want to try my hardest just to produce mediocrity.

I'm scared of trying to cook because I might burn my dish and get thrown out of the house, for example.

>>18098129

first and foremost when something goes wrong, don't reduce it to your entire existence. when you burn a meal, don't say 'WOW IM THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD'

cuz that doesn't help you fix the problem. that victimizes yourself, it perpetuates the idea that you're magically hopeless, that you were just born wrong and will never do anything right. and while that may seem like as ad thought, psychologically it protects you. it creates a mindset that you dont have to improve because you literally can't. its a coping mechanism that makes you pity yourself.

>i can't cook

no one was born able to cook. thats not a thing. you literally just follow recipes. whats worse is you don't even have to buy cook books anymore, you just do it online.

and most shit is all too easy to cook. want pasta? boils noodles. then cook sauce. throw in a meat if you want. not hard.

you can even look for youtube tutorials for really basic shit these days.

>i can't drive

go learn, ask a friend or parents to teach you and if you're going to say
>BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TEACH ME

than you aren't trying hard enough.

>can't clean

you can, you just tend to take the lazy route, its not hard to figure out.

>>18098118
Bump. It's driving me nuts.

What's your goal? Do you want to get her back? Are you still in contact with her?

>>18098537
I did want her back, I told her that too. I was just flat out honest about everything. She said she still has feelings for me too yet she still chose to go back to him.

I'm not in contact with her. She's blocked me on everything it seems.

"ok."

Say "I am sorry to hear that"

>>18098116
"feed it to my snake"

Cool kids all have pet snakes.

Sorry about your dad anon. Remember that while being stoic is often a desirable trait, bottling up strong emotions isn't good for your mental health. Stay strong, but don't be afraid to grieve.

I'd suggest you put any inheritance money into an index fund, it will appreciate a lot over a few decades and will be safer from impulsive spending.

Sorry about your dad. Get counseling and anxiety meds. Do not fall for the trap of telling him about all the fucked up shit he said and did.

>>18098078
Thanks dude. Not an impulsive spender at all, hell, me and my dad pee outside to save on the water bill. But yeah, I tear up a little bit when I'm by myself, but it's not cool to do that in public. Will be hard at the funeral though with all the crying women. He has some in a savings bond for me, which I'll most likely leave there, and a good bit that he just removed from his mutual fund. Now, I can't pay the bills with savings bonds since I can't withdraw as easily. Will I be able to with index funds? I'll look into that a bit. Thanks

Not a crime if you don't get caught.

/adv/ please, write a novel for me

or better go fuck yourself

>>18098051
Cover your tracks. Think about the crime you're doing, and think like a cop - what's incriminating evidence? What would be tell tale signs of a guilty suspect? What physical evidence would there be to collect?

You have a series of events that can unfold:
1. Officer investigates -- at this point there's nothing to worry about. S/he's just poking around because a complaint has been made or he has seen something suspicious. He won't approach you at this point, but if he does, then do the following. Have a relaxed conversation, answer his answers politely and throw in a 'sir' or 'ma'am' here and there, but don't brown nose. Act relaxed. I can't stress this enough. Police are heavily trained to read body language, and trust me, they'll know if you're hiding something. Now, if they do think something's up, they might ask more pointed questions.
2. At this point, keep answering, but ask casually, "Am I being detained? Am I free to go sir?" If he doesn't answer or keeps asking questions, then it's strongly indicative that you are not being detained, unless you incriminate yourself while he's questioning you.
3. If he answers "yes, you're being detained, please come with me." Then cooperate with him with every single thing he wants. Don't make a fuss - or that'll be an extra charge against you. Mind you, at this point he's not charging you, he's just arresting you for questioning. You may or may not be put into cuffs, but you are for sure going into the cop car.
3. You'll be taken down to the station and questioned further. Ask for a lawyer. The police officer is obligated to give you a free call to a lawyer and will not question you until you call legal counsel. Chances are, you won't have your lawyer to begin with - but that's what planning is for: hire a lawyer that you pay by the hour - do not under any circumstance hire a lump sum payment lawyer, they won't fight your case that well. Trust me.

B-bump?

I sort of have the same problem. Having issues pronouncing things but sounds dead on in my head. Usually I just take time and read books to effectuate. Keep in mind, you should keep on talking, as weird as it sounds its actually beneficial b/c it works your jaw/tongue/etc. It's just that you're not really talkative in my opinion like me.

I write better than I talk. Reading aloud helps somewhat with enunciation.

Tell him you will do it but you need a week to gather the funds.

Then you secretly move out in the middle of the night and burn the place down.

look at your old lease and see if its even necessary to sign.

>>18098196
I was on a month to month lease. From my limited understanding that means I'm vulnerable to sudden changes to the lease like this. I think I'll just call him tomorrow and let him know I'll be moving out. Just waiting on word from my sister if she can let me life with her for a little while. I was just worried that since my old lease said I had to let him know the billing period prior to me moving out. But since he waited until the last minute to post my change in lease before I could let him know last month I wanted to move out that I'd be legally liable to pay rent or something next month.

>>18097984
Wait, I don't follow
So who do you want to be again?
Like a normal poet who writes in latin?
I don't get this distinction between normal and grand option.

Anyway, maybe just learn it hobby-stlye until you are skilled enough to make money with it. Then go full poet

do you foresee any way of supporting yourself financially with this endeavor or are you just going to keep leeching of mummy for the rest of her life while writing your epic latin poems?

>>18097984
Dude that sounds awesome, just compromise. Keep your current job because it is the rational option, but plan for your dream. Study latin, read poetry and write in your off time from work. You can do both theses things, and heck if your good enough then you can make a career out of it.

Use entry level positions, unpaid internships or volunteer work to develop experience and CV credentials. Decide on a field for a career, build a portfolio demonstrating evidence of competency in your desired field, and move into that field - unpaid or paid - your aim is to make friends and contacts, learn more about the mechanisms for hiring, discover industry publications, facebook groups and companies for hiring opportunities.

Want to be an adult? First lesson: Your IQ means shit. A dumbass picking up boxes by the docks can support his family.

Working is about dedication, goals, responsibility, and all that shit that has nothing to do with "IQ".

>>18097981
You're not a genius, op. If you were you'd already be rich.

>>18097964

Nothing inherently wrong with it, but if it's the only change you're making and hope that bitches will then miraculously fall on your dick, then you're a deluded fool.

>Why is it wrong to excercise and lift weights, if you just want to attract women ?

What the fuck are you talking about? Who the fuck do you know says its wrong to make yourself make self improvements to attract women?

I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life. You trollin?

>>18097964

Doing anything "just" to get women is dumb. Don't put your self-worth in the hands of others. When you get fit and your thirst/desperation still turn women off, you'll feel really bad because you put so much effort into something that didn't pan out.

>>18097940

DON'T DO IT MAN!!

It will itch like a bitch and that's the last thing you need on the big day. Relax, you did a good job. You got this.

Nope. I don't have a reason why--just never expected it myself or heard of a friend expecting it. Most shaving disasters have happened well into the sexual relationship (NEVER USE CVS BRAND WAX).

I recently picked up cubing (solving different kinds of rubix cubes). I've solved 3x3, 5x5, so far, and have like 7 more on my bucket list for learning how to solve. It's been a fun hobby so far, and not too difficult to pick up

>>18097868
Eh, I'm already on that, I obviously aim higher in life than this town. I'll be off studying in a nearby city by September next year. Just feels like there's nothing to do entertainment wise, especially during the shit weather months.
>>18097871
Something mentally stimulating and relaxing I could do with a podcast in the background. Not a bad suggestion.
