I own a three-bedroom home. My roommate of 8 years just moved out and took the dog with him, and my other roommate has a girlfriend that he stays with mostly.

The house is so empty and quiet. I'm used to staying in my room doing my own thing to avoid what was going on out there, but now I just sit alone in a sterile, empty house.

What can I do?

I failed to tip my uber driver. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or is the damage done?

Simply put, he's stopped several places for me, and I wanted to tip him, but I left my cash at home and my new debit card's pin has been reset.

People who have been in a relationship; when did you realize that you had stopped loving your partner? I'm scared that I may be falling out of love with my bf. Nothing has changed in our relationship significantly to make me feel this way, if anything the things that have changed were for the better. However, when ever I am away from him I want to talk to other boys, I find it harder to control myself when someone is flirting with me. Also, recently he brought up moving in with me...which honestly is something I've always wanted but now idk what happened but I suddenly don't want to. When ever we get into fights now I just want to say "I'm breaking up with you," which I never have wanted to say this before, even in our most heated arguments. I just don't get it, I think it may be obvious that I am losing feelings for him but I don't know. I just feel like there is no reason for me to be falling out of love, our relationship is great, he's the most supportive person in my life...Hes also put up with all of my emotions, I am a very emotional person so its a hard task.

Is there anyway to stop this feeling? Can I fall in love with him all over if I actually am falling out of love?

Ok, this is a dumbass question but how can I subtly let a guy know I want him to ask me to prom?

So I'm a senior in high school, and there's this really nice/sweet guy in my history class. He's not that attractive, so I don't think he really has too much of a clue when it comes to girls. It's a pretty chill class, and I talk to one of his friends (with my best friend, I sit next to her) daily. I've talked to the guy I want to ask me a few times, but lately he has been sitting farther away from me. I'm not entirely sure if he's interested in me (probably not) but I'm to scared/shy to approach him. I don't mean to want him to do all the work, but I don't actually have a crush on him or anything so I wouldn't ask him to prom myself. I mostly just want to go as friends.

As for myself, i'm not ugly, maybe a 6.5/10 ish, who knows. I have small boobs and a small butt, so maybe that's why a lot of guys are not interested in me. (5'5", 115 lbs) I used to be really shy but I'm not really anymore.

Any advice would be appreciated, I know this is kinda a dumb question.

I masturbate up to 3 times a day, usually to hentai. It's destroying my life. I also just finished fapping to Boku No Pico. I swear i'm not gay, probably bisexual tho. Any tips on stopping this horrible addiction, fellow autists

/adv/, I'm gonna be done with college in June and all I ever did relationship wise was:

>make out with this chick twice, once at the end of freshman year and at the beginning of sophomore year
>Took forever to get over her after she stopped talking to me (never talked to her again)
>tried tinder at school last 2 years and ok cupid over the summer for only meeting up with a chick from HS who didn't want anything that wasn't platonic
>let a chance I had with a friend's friend earlier in the school year go cold cause she lived 3 hours away via public transport (no car for me at school) and knew I wouldn't have the energy or the trust to try anything with her plus she might have just wanted me for sexual

I have never been the party type, but I wouldn't say I'm socially incompetent either, I just have a poor time meeting people by myself, with friends I'm fine. But even then, I feel like my social circle is enough and don't want to join more cause it tires me the fuck out, hence why I never made friends at my college job I had my 2nd and 3rd years here.

I really think being in a relationship is healthy for me, but this year I don't give a fuck cause I'm on my way out, what scares me is once I go back home and realize my friends aren't here cause I only really have one good friend I would see back home, and I'm afraid of becoming a neet and not getting in a relationship anytime soon.

wtf do I do?

tl;dr: I'm afraid of singleness and can't think how to leave it.

tl;dr
>clinical depression
>life has been in a terrible lull for two years
>i want to fix myself but i dont know how, everything sucks
>poor and borderline homeless

I dont know what to do. 'Get a job" obviously, but that keeps not working, and I think a big part of my depression is my enviroment...but how do I change my enviroment?
its like a giant catch-22 and suicide is objectively starting to appear like the better option. Medication helps, but it's not a fix all.

Hard to explain, but I'll try anyways. I've been trying to break the habit loop I've had over time during my free time, where I just do nothing, look at Youtube videos, go on 4chan, etc. etc., all things which promote distraction and not focus. I realize I don't really have too many things to do during the day, and I'm not sure how to fill up that time (as in, during break or weekends). To sum up, I'm trying to cut my internet addiction and fill it with other things

What are some healthy things to do? My apartment receives no light and is depressing, so I would like to leave, but it's expensive to find places to work in (coffee shops) and it's cheaper to stay at home and cook, but I hate my apartment. Should I just bear it and do other things anyways? Hope this question makes sense, it's personally hard to pinpoint exactly what I need, so any response is useful. Thanks in advance

Hey, /adv/, I need some opinions.

My whole life I've struggled with friendships. Not in making friends, but with maintaining them. I feel like most of them are quite shallow, like we never really have a deep connection.

The one friendship that is really deep is with my gf. But pretty much all of my other friendships will just fade over time and we both won't think nothing of it. Its just seems really sad that I have a phone full of contacts I never really talk to anymore

And its not like I don't want to talk to people. I love hearing new opinions and different points of view or about different interests. People really interest me. When I bring this up, my gf gets sad because she feels she's not doing enough for me. She is though, I just want to meet new people too. Or at least make friends that I can have deep conversations with.

Any advice? Do you think its me, the people around me or something more? Thank you in advance

Went on a date with dream girl probably about a year ago now. Date went awesome, I knew the chick from school and it had been a while. She texted me literally right after the date but I fucked it up big time. Make a joke about her/her dog and called them both bitches. Pretty autistic move if I say so myself. Anyways, this was about a year ago. Would it be weird to hit this chick up out of the blue? Would it look desperate? What do

Does anyone know what this is?

I scratched myself after soaking in a bath and I saw grey under my fingernails. It feels like clay so I kept scratching and collecting it.

Occasionally I've seen this under my nails before but I never tried to ball it up like this. It doesn't smell and it seems water proof.

Is this really all dead skin or residue from soap or something?

I'll try to keep this as anonymous as possible so I won't be too specific regarding details.

> My Dad (50s) was laying in bed on his iPad as he was getting up early in the morning.
> My Mum was still up but in another room.
> Knowing my Dad is still up, I go into his room to ask him something.
> He puts iPad on bed when talking to me as I asked him to have a look at headphones to see if he could fix them.
> I glance at iPad screen and see a selfie of a topless man in a towel
> Dad doesn't realize I saw, I pretend I didn't and then make an excuse to leave the room as quickly as possible

All of this would sound completely innocent and most people would say, "your Dad has social media and came across a profile of his friend/family member taking a shirtless selfie, big deal!"

However...

My Dad does not have any social media accounts that my family have ever been aware of. He has explicitly made out as if he isn't interested in them and I couldn't find any of his profiles after a thorough search. This is *extremely* out of character for him to be on social media; let alone looking through that sort of thing.

And the possibility that he may be a closet homosexual/bisexual has never crossed my mind because he is not flamboyant/effeminate/camp and he does not exhibit any of the stereotypical gay male characteristics.

His relationship with my Mum isn't particularly romantic/sexual; I don't think I've ever been aware of them having sex in the 20-odd years I've been alive.

He also works *a lot*; 70 hours a week and is away for long period of time, at bizarre hours... although this *is* typical for the type of work he does. But it would give him the time and excuse to be living another life.

Am I being paranoid or is there something to this?

What should I do? Try and snatch his iPad and look at the history? Follow him when he goes to work one day? Speak to him about it (we don't have that sort of relationship so it would be extremely awkward/dangerous)?

So i'm suspecting that my best friend's wife is cheating on him.

How do i go about this situation and dig up further proof without triggering too many alarms?

How do you get over regret? Every day I think about what things would be like on all aspects if I had made a different decision. Sometimes I even think of what I'd be doing on the exact moment instead of what I'm doing now if I had made a different choice. What I did changed my life to a good extent, and it never felt right; I think I did it because once the ball started rolling and everyone in my life told me to do it I couldn't help but fall in line.

Anyway, how do I stop thinking like this? It almost paralyzes me, sometimes I can't do work at all. It devours my thoughts. It's as if I'm living two lives, one in my head, and I can't stop thinking about how much I wish I were there. It's been effecting my mental health.

I try to put it in the past but it's like an inescapable parasite hanging in the back of my mind at all times. How can I get over this? Put this behind me?

Sorry for faggoty long post, thanks for any replies.
