Why are you cool with being passionless? Did something happen (or not happen) to you? One day your mind might be completely destroyed, and your consciousness will disappear. Do you want to be like, "Yeah man, that was alright. The Doritos and Mountain Dew were pretty decent - not to mention the occasional head"?

TV shows, movies, books, comics, games, websites, music, other forms of art and even people are more appealing to me if they are unpopular. I tend to be disappointed by hyped up media and people who are everywhere. But when I discover something less popular and enjoy it I feel like I found a gem, something special. I want to show it to others, help it grow. However when I like a show early on and later it becomes popular and I see it everywhere I cringe.
I have not told this to everyone because it sounds like I'm a pretentious hipster but I really couldn't give a shit. I just want to enjoy things.

Under the tongue as long as possible until u feel it literally dissolve. Aim for one hour under ur tongue. Do it in the morning also cause u wont be able to sleep at night on acid.

Hi /adv/

I'm a 20 year old guy, who's a medstudent. I always learned very well, was first in my class in high school and college, however I invested way too much time into studying, and it was very detrimental for my social life. So I recognized at 20 that I'm a complete social retard.

I can't hold a conversation with anyone, I always find people boring, I can't really do anything with subjective opinions. I got used to dealing with facts and strong evidence that I just subconsciously find anything that's not backed up by strong evidence or facts as boring. Almost every conversation I have with anyone ends with I just getting bored of others when if I objectively try to judge myself I'm sure I'm the boring one. I just don't know how to get to know people and enjoy myself without either getting really bored, or hurting others by trying to correct them.

It's even worse with women to whom I can't relate at all. There was a girl who was always nice to me, wanted to meet me, we just talked about things, then it got boring for me, and I just left. Last week her girlfriend told me she was all over me, and she was really hurt when I was really cold to her and dismissive. It wasn't the first time a girl has fallen for me and I didn't even recognize it. Feels like shit.

How to cure social obliviousness and retardedness?

Not being interested in the overly-subjective bullshit is probably a good part of your personality. Try not to conflate that with being stoic and awkward.
>>
>>18035614
What's wrong with stoic, and how not to be awkward?
>>
>>18035630
stoic is an okay default, but it's not good to be stuck in and pretend you chose it

that girl wanted you to be playful obviously. I don't know if you've had a sexual relationship or any strong attachment recently, but it is an inherent playful thing (a healthy one is, anyway)

>how to not be awkward
Everyone is a little bit awkward, and people who are smooth all the time are either a.) very gifted, or b.) totally faking.

But you don't want to be super awkward, right? That can usually be fixed with experience and personal development (not in those goddamend self-help books, I mean in reality)

I just let my roommate know I was planning on having people over to our apartment next week for Fuck Valentines Day tacos.
She replied with "So should I cancel my romantic house date?".
She never told me she had plans. I didn't ask her first I just made plans and then let her know. She obviously did the same thing, but without letting me know.

Would it be rude of me to tell her yes? What do?

>>18035518

kinda. instead of thinking of this as a game to win, think of what will actually get everyone wehat they want. you have several people coming over, are you saying legit none of them can host? do their roommates happen to have house dates too?

ultimately its valentines day and he just wants a nice date. worse case scenario, just go out fwith friends
>>
Inviting one person over is a lot different to inviting a bunch of people over. Asking before inviting a group is polite, but I don't think it's necessary if you're asking over one person.

And if you tell her to cancel her plans, you're just going to look like you're butthurt because she has a date and you don't.
>>
There's no clear right or wrong here, whether you want to moralize it or are just trying to figure out how to navigate the relationship with this person. Interpersonal situations are complicated, and you're the one most qualified to make this decision, being one of the parties involved and not some anon on 4chan.

Recently I noticed I've been desensitized to sex assaults on the news. Why is that? How can I regain my empathy for rape victims? Can someone interpret their reason why they're horrified by it so I can regain my perspective? I've become desensitized to gore, but I don't want to be desensitized to this

>on the news
It's because you don't know these people. The more distant someone is, the harder it is to feel empathy for them
>>
>>18035485

There's probably a variety of reasons but only you know what's in your head

>>18035491
Is right. Not knowing them is definitely a major factor. Add to that tge number of false reports and self inflicted situation. (I.e. girl gets drunk with frat boys, regrets next day etc)
With sjws constantly crying wolf, we're all a little desensitized
>>
Maybe read first-hand accounts from rape victims, read up on the whole "rape culture" thing, learn more about how society's views of sexuality/purity/etc can fuck up a person and make them vulnerable to rape trauma.

There are so many facets as to why it is horrifying. Some are general to loss of agency and such in common with victims of violence. Others are specific to the sexual nature. Yet others are specific to the gender politics involved for the victim depending on their culture and sex.

Anyway, I know that's super vauge but I feel like I could write a fucking book on the specifics so making a post outlining them is hard.

I can tell you my personal rape story if you'd like, but it's obviously a limited view.

The thing is, first of all he's married. Also he's not what I'd go for normally. He's 19 years older than me, and has a cute beer belly, but on the other hand he's a genuinely kind and good man, great sense of humor, intelligent. Pretty tall and masculine too. So heaven's help me I'm totally into him.

How do I stop this? I've been working at this place for almost a year now, but early March I'll leave to finish my degree, how can I stop myself from doing anything I'd seriously regret later?

Holy fuck just don't.
Not even because he's married. Whatever. If he's into you too his marriage is on the rocks anyway.

But don't be fucking stupid. I've fallen for older men. Especially when I was quite young and all the guys my age were busy being macho and couldn't hold a fucking conversation. But once the initial relief of dating someone who really challenged me wore off, the differences in our life stages was too much. I was still interested in things he had grown out of. I didn't relate well to his priorities either. The typically generational differences in our takes on society started to emerge. We didn't have any shared childhood experiences to relate to each other with. Our senses of humor turned out to be pretty different. I eventually realized he didn't quite respect me as an equal, more because of age than anything else since he was really supportive of/impressed with my career path.

Maybe your guy is perfect, I don't know.

But do you really want to be in a relationship you can't really talk to friends and family about? If it's something you cant' gush about it's probably not something you should be doing in the long run.
>>
>>18035474
What about...sex without adjectives in secret? I'd be fine with that too.

I know I know, get another guy for that...but, this is the thing isn't it? I don't want somebody else. I want him.

Clearly there's some measure of incompatibility that's preventing you from having any kind of mutually pleasant relationship.

Need to replace the engine on my 2006 Scion xB. Dealership mechanic says it will cost between $5400 and $7200 because the seized engine will need to be disassembled to be able to disconnect it from the transmission. Parents want me to buy their scion xB 2008 for $4000, (probably worth about 8-10k desu) I love my car but holy fuck 5k just to replace the engine?

Should I even bother trying to hunt around for a better deal on the engine replacement?

No. That sounds both fairly accurate and like an average price. I definitely wouldn't want to spend $4k on a fucking xB though, even something not almost a decade old.

Driving it home from work at 6AM. Oil light (whihc to be fair i have never even seen before) comes on. On the highway so decide to check it when I get home. 5 miles later, engine stops.

Mechanic says oil filter is MISSING, but that it wasnt destroyed or broken (threading is intact). Shop i took it to have the oil changed 3-4 months ago says there's no way it could have left "loose or not put on correctly" and been unnoticed or anything for fucking 4 months. Both of my parking spaces (home and work) show no pools of oil. There was also no signs of any change or issue until the moment that it happened (and the light came on)

The mechanic, the dealership, and my mechanic friends are very confused.

You provided enough details, I just meant there's not really a 100% safe route of action to take. At best, make a decision and hope for the best, and learn from any mistakes you may make.

Hey /adv/. My girlfriend and I had a shaky last month and nearly broke up (long series of arguments), but we resolved to both try to improve stuff we were screwing up. Since then, though, it feels like she's still been picking at stuff that I've messed up and I'm getting really defensive about it, so neither of us are really helping. We're sort of resolving any arguments that crop up better, and we're both apologetic by the end, but it's really exhausting sometimes.

Did any of you guys go through these sorts of periods with your SOs? How'd it go and when did it sort of either click and become manageable or become a point where it became too much?

I did go through that stage, and I think many people go through such a breaking point. When you're able to mature and get past it, and actually fucking ADMIT and FORGIVE, you'll open up the gates to an amazing relationship.
>>
i'm currently in a similar situation, bad summer of miscommunication and shit like that, i'm equally as frustrated and bummed out as you are.

i don't know the answer. i'm trying to better myself and be more patient with her. the problem is she is very abrasive and stubborn, and i'm somewhat irrational, we're both going through shit in our lives, but no matter how bad the argument is we always end up forgiving eachother.

i don't know man, sorry if i don't have the answer but, just know you're not alone in this battle

You go through patches like that in a LTR, I've been through several in the 13 years I've been with my husband. The key is communication, you have got to be able to talk to each other about your grievances.

My gf talks alot with her best friends boyfriend. They all work together but the bf of the girl works in a different department. They talk alot through Facebook. I've talked to her about it before and apparently she's always had many guy friends throughout her life. She told me not to worry about it that she won't ever hurt me(cheat on me). We've hangout together once (the four of us) and my gf stayed close to me always she didn't any interest in him or her for that matter. Should I be wary? Or should I stick to my guns and trust her? Something tells me she's hiding something. I've been cheated on before. It wasn't pleasant

Eh, that doesn't sound terribly worrying to me. Same boat, been cheated on and my gf has a ton of guy friends. She's been up front about the fact that she went out with two of them before, and I get along with them. I trust her.

Note that you're saying that because something happened to YOU, you're worried about HER. You're right that it's a boundary; it's understandable to be leery of your girlfriend and other guys, and she should probably know it's a sore spot from you. But a relationship is about trust. If you think something's really going on, then you get out. And likewise, it might be prudent if you're feeling that trust to tell her that it's something that makes you insecure. Not necessarily to dissuade her from talking to him (that's pretty controlling), but to let her know she should be wary of that for your sake. It might be kind of sensitive for both of you, but it's something you should communicate.

Has she done anything in particular that worried you, other than speaking to him in the first place?
>>
>>18035241

Some people can have friends of the opposite sex.

The only time I'd start to worry is if they hang out outside of work exclusively, (such as going to the movies together and only them two)
>>
>>18035289
She knows it's a sore spot for me. I've told her it's cool they could talk and I told her I just have this insecurity because I've been cheated on before (she's been cheated on before as well) I've told her I'd never had a gf before that had many guy friends or talked with them alot for that matter. She's always been upfront with me so for that reason I trust her. We are both after something serious as well. She's hasn't done anything in particular but one time my gf and I and one of her female coworkers from work hung out she put my gf on blast after we were leaving a movie theatre, she said jokingly that the guy doesn't do his work because he's always talking to his gf or with my gf. She said he'd just disappear and he'd find him talking either with his gf my gf or the two of them. This upset me. My gf knew it would upset me when she heard her say that. After we left we had an argument which we patched up that same night. I think she said something about touch as well. She said he doesn't touch her but she touches him like smacks him. This upset me as well but I didn't tell her. Wish I did. It eats me up sometimes

Is it weird that I want a gf but don't give two shits about having friends?

Do I subconsciously just want one to validate myself?
8 posts and 1 images submitted.

Maybe. How old are you?

I'm sort of opposite. In amazing relationship but more or less friendless. Which is actually alright. It's like I do everything with my best friend.

Discovering adult friendships, by and large, aren't the awesome shit friendships can be when you're younger. I used to think it was fucking wild my parents had "friends" they called 3-4 times a year but still acted like they cared about and did favors for. But that happens. It's great when you can have close friendships in adulthood, but honestly having a great relationship is going to effect your life more. So...whatever.

Don't overthink what you want right now unless it's making you act fucking stupid.
>>
I couldn't possibly tell you I think it's weird, since the only people I ever care about or talk to aside from "hi" or "bye" are my girlfriend and my parents, but I'm not really a "common case". I go to uni and know how to be social, I just don't give a fuck about anyone, and I've found myself at my happiest by being this way. To each their own, I guess.

Good luck.
>>
Nah, I'm kinda the same. I mean I do like the friends I have, but it's really hard to stay close with people you rarely see. And that's what being an adult does, all your friends are all around the country, even the world, and since basically everyone is dating you're just not going to be that close. Don't have a girlfriend but wish I did, I too was at my happiest back when I did and she was my best friend and the only one I really did stuff with. Easier to put all your social energy into one person rather than divide to ten. Being introverted is like that.
