itt: Sand People
Am I the only one around here that has to live with this kind of bullshit?
Why would you even choose to live with sand people? I wouldn't even want them as neighbors.
Culture shock, it's who they are. I hope you didn't sign a lease i would be getting the fuck out ASAP nigga there are SHIT SMEARS in your shower. you do understand you have literal curry diharrea spray in an environment that you enter to become clean. Your roommates came from a filthy putrid diseased backwater country where they view shitting in a western shower as a luxury, they will never change get out
OP here
I'm stuck living here. I'm an asylum seeker, as are they. They've literally just gotten off the proverbial boat. I came seeking help from fear of death, they came to cash in. Blerg.
i'm worried that i'm going to open my eyes or walk round a corner and see some hallucinated unknown horror
i keep seeing blurred entities made out of objects in my peripheral vision that disappear whenever they're looked at
how do i get over this, i know it's irrational
>>17964951
See a doctor. There are meds for that
Have you been more stressed than normal lately?
>>17964957
You don't necessarily need meds for that if OP has a type of paranoia hallucinations.
Certain psychotherapists can actually find your triggers and help you rationalize what your fears are producing. I knew a few cases of people who altered their mind and were perfectly normal after that.
If that is OP's case of course.
this new years i was at my girlfriend of 1 year group birthday party with her two cousins. was having a good time and getting drunk af. late into the night after most went home my girlfriend was locked in a room. i didnt know why so i knocked. idr but i went outside to smoke then went back in and apparently( because idr) i damaged the door. that is when a friend of the family lets call him walter, earholed me and proceeded to jump me. i was way too drunk and got fucked up as the cousins stand by watching. noone jumped in or stopped it. as i was limping out of the hallway i was pissed thatnoone came to my aid. i punched out their 55 in tv. dude came out of nowhere and i fell and he kicked me in head multiple times. two black eyes swollen face bruises all over concussion and cracked rib and i was fucked up. i ran off and hid behind a car down the street. when i get my bearings i came out and police yelled get on the floor and arrested me. didnt let me say anything. they charged me with battery and destruction of property and took me to jail. i plead guilty to dest of prop since i did punch the tv. after i got out of jail my gf and her mom couldnt remember anything. i eventually did remember that it was over my gf being in a room locked. She did admit that to me but told me its all my fault. other dude not charged with anything and im sure was good ol boyed by the family. she said she was laying down in the roomat one point then it changed to arguing with her mom.
i wouldnt think that i damaged the door on purpose but i was black out wasted. i also didnt think it was a bad idea to get so drunk at "families" house.
i cant believe who i called family let this happen like it did and i have a court date for domestic battery. i have to give 50 hrs comm service and pay 1900 in damages. which is over priced for the tv.
i have since excommunicated all of her family and her because of all this.
im getting this off my chest and i guess im wondering yalls thoughts on this.
You got royally screwed. Not much else to say.
>>17964942
>i cant believe who i called family let this happen like it did and i have a court date for domestic battery
You're a shitty person and your girlfriend is a shitty person and her family is a bunch of shitty people and you all decided to get all the shitty people together and get blackout drunk.
Shitty people + alcohol = shitty things happening.
Better luck next time.
>>17964971
thanks for the advice.
when in company of a bunch of shitty people dont drink.
I've been dating a girl for over a year and I feel really bad about our relationship. Maybe I'm just focusing on all the negative things, but lately every little "bad" thing she does has been getting to me. Like yesterday she went to a theatre play with her mom and I've texted her that evening:
- How was the theater?
- Break now, then another part. Thus far I can say: fucking hell :D
- What do you mean?
- I mean it's hella good
- Oh, I see. Awesome!
- Sorry, I don't wanna chat right now. Will tell later
So this time it was this "I don't wanna chat right now", made me think, what? Is it alright to even say that? Anyway, she called me later that day and said she didn't mean to say it like that, I just played it off cool, but in reality, things like this trigger me. Also it kinda triggered me how she was saying how good it was and how they got best seats and how expensive it was, when she's never been this excited when I took her out to concerts and payed even more. I don't let this show, but I wonder why am I feeling this way?
She's from a once wealthy family and I've been always paying for her and bying expensive gifts. Half of the times I do that she even forgets to say thank you. Maybe that's why I'm disliking her? Should I break up or just work on my attitude and put myself first? How should I go about expensive gifts and paying for everything? Just stop doing that out of the blue? Some advice would be very appreciated.
You're totally overthinking this. The thing that stood out to me the most was that you were upset she didn't want to talk now. She was busy and had to go, don't be a baby about it. As for if she's not being appreciative enough, I'm wondering if she's actually fine and you're just high-strung, because by the sounds of your post you sound like it. Either talk to her about it or reexamine who's really the problem here.
>You're totally overthinking this.
Yeah, I do understand that it's not a big deal at all, that's why I never say do anything when this happens, just thought she could've phrased it better, like said that she just needed to go. I have abolutely no problem with that. I guess that was a silly example overall.
>The thing that stood out to me the most was that you were upset she didn't want to talk now.
No, I was upsed at how she phrased it. But then again, I do agree that this example is silly and it looks like a very, very minor thing and I probably come off as reading way too much into every word here. It's just that things like this happen all the time. Am I just being clingy, is it alright to say you don't want to talk to someone?
>As for if she's not being appreciative enough, I'm wondering if she's actually fine and you're just high-strung, because by the sounds of your post you sound like it. Either talk to her about it or reexamine who's really the problem here.
I'm definitely getting nervous and easy to tick off lately, even with the smallest of things. I'm trying to examine the core of the problem here, before doing or saying anything to her. Might be I'm just really overthinking things. I feel the pressure to buy her things, because she's very frequently saying that she wants this and that and how her dad won't buy her it, so I most of the times do. Am I in the mindset of a pleaser? How should I go about it? Just stop doing this all of a sudden or go gradually or?
Up.
how 2 simulate confidence? are there some artificial means of increasing it?
no ideas?
sorry, wasn't aware /adv/ is a slow board
nb
Dress well, smile a lot, have good posture, gesticulate, don't ever look at the ground, step out of your comfort zone.
Do go to jail for not completing your community service i have a lady friend who is in this situation
depends on the judge. and place.
Usually courts ask them why they couldnt pay and if its a good enough reason you can get an extension. When the cops come knocking, go to court, because if you dont then you are going to jail/
hey guys. todays my birthday. any LEO or cali fags on here?
>driving in fresno county
>get pulled over in my old home town
>went there to get my car insurance
>it had expired by a month and the cop writes me a fixit ticket for it
>check mail weeks later
>court ordered appearance
>outstanding fine of 1200$ plus dollars
>huh? oh shit its from my DUI over a decade ago
>got my DUI when they separated the court and DMV sides of it that year, thought I had the whole thing paid off, guess not
>have no money or job now, just moved to a new town in the mountains
>court date is next week
am I going to jail? are they just gonna ask me for money? what am I looking at here? 3 or 4 days in county?
>>17964822
depends on what the charge is
if its an adult work offender program this is what happens
> get sentenced to 2 months in jail
> sentence deferred to x amount of hours community service
> dont complete service
> they either charge you money to extend your ability to get more hours
or
> serve the original sentence of x amount of time in jail
so yes most likely
My girlfriend cried for 3 hours today. We broke up. It was her idea and I agreed. She was sobbing in my arms the entire time. Then when I walked her home she broke down crying again really badly.
We broke up because we had been dating for a month and she was asking me very personal questions that I was not comfortable with answering. She said because of this it meant I did not love her enough.
She asked me what I wanted with her and I told her I didn't know and this made her cry a lot. When I asked her the same thing she said one day she was hoping we'd have a home together and stuff like that. She was asking me to marry her and I told her I wasn't ready.
I just feel really awful right now it's a terrible feeling when a girl cries in your arms especially when she cries so much. Advice?
>>17964801
You've been dating for a fucking month.
She was probably hoping you'd tell her what she wanted to know to get back with her, but it backfired.
Move on. Crazy, clingy bitch.
>>17964801
Run, run, run. It's the kind of girl who is going to emotionally blackmail you her whole life to get what she wants. Marriage and shit? After a month? Good god.
Just don't deal with her anymore. She wanted you to "prove" you really like her.
>>17964810
I feel sad about it. What was she hoping I'd tell her?
She was asking me to show her the facebook profiles of my exs. I was afraid of doing this because I was afraid she'd message them.
She also asked me who sucked my dick better her or my ex. I just said "you". I must have said it over 100 times but she was never satisfied and kept repeating the question.
>>17964818
i took her virginity. but she was the one that pressured me to have sex with her.
I cared about her a lot but she was asking for too much from me too fast. I also would pay for all our expenses whenever we went out and I don't think I could have kept that up.
How was she expecting me to prove that I really like her? The first time she pulled this break up card I asked her not to break up with me and we didn't end up breaking up. But she kept doing this again and again everytime things didnt go her way. Even a few days ago she broke up with me but then pretended it never happened the next day.
But this time she told me to never text her again. But what if she texts me tomorrow. Should I just ignore her? I'm a really soft person.
I feel incredibly apathetic all the time. I usually keep it pretty well concealed, my relatives have no clue that I'm wreck inside. I've been this way for most of my life thus far, barring a few small exceptions. Somewhere in my mind I feel like if I could land a really nice and loyal girlfriend that I'd have a much easier time getting to where I can feel better, but it seems so far out of reach. I'm not really a social person, I'm pretty introverted, even misanthropic at times, but I don't treat people like shit for no reason. I can get women.
I've had my fair share of girlfriends growing up, and I have one now, but I can't seem to find one that suits what I think I need. My current girlfriend... I don't really care for all that much to be honest. I didn't really care all that much when I asked her, but I treated her well, like all my past relationships. She's just been awful to me on numerous occasions to be completely honest. I would break up with her, but I'm just dating her to not be alone, to pass the time. I know it sounds fucked up, but trust that I don't treat her poorly.
I want to go more in-depth, discuss it in further detail with you all, but I don't know how much you guys want to read, so I'll just leave it at this and keep up with your responses if you seem like you want more.
>>17964772
Why would we want more? You're the one who's seeking advice.
>>17964806
As in more information to go on in order to give advice.
>>17964772
You create your own mindscape. My guess is there's something important missing from your life. I found my thing two years ago, but the bad days didn't end there. They never do, but you can have them less often if you choose to find meaning in your words, actions, and pursuits.
>step dad hits and screams at mom all the time
>finally stand up and call the police, on christmas
>get's sent to jail, 4 charges against him
>court date on wednesday
>mom still i love with him, hoping that he would change
>people around her thinking that she may have stockholm syndrome
>not really sure what to do
any ideas how to approach her without making things worse, but also helping her get over him?
>>17964735
Therapy. Loving support. Just be there.
>>17964735
>>17964759
OP this only sound advice
>>17964735
Hey anon, I had a similar situation with my mom last year. She's been with an abusive husband for a long time now, and one day he beat her and the police came and arrested him. He went to jail and got charged with a felony. He's foreign and would have been deported from the country if my mom hadn't decided to drop everything.
It'll be really hard to break them apart, especially if she is financially dependent on him. Try getting some kind of counselor that deals with domestic violence to help her. If you can, make sure she has little to NO contact with your step dad. He could try to sweet talk her back into the relationship again.
That's the best advice I got, hope things work out for you.
So earlier today I was more or less sexually assaulted by someone I met on Craigslist. To make a long story short, my stupid ass replied to a threesome ad, there was never a female there, and I was coerced into letting the guy perform several sexual acts on me (I'm male). He kept telling me this girl would arrive later so I said I had a late meeting to attend but would come back later; I left and immediately blocked him from my phone and email.
I am now mostly worried for my safety hereafter. This guy has a bogus anonymous email from me but also my real phone number. He also knows I work at very small company that he (allegedly) was on the board of several years before I started. How do I ensure that this guy doesn't find out where I live and murder me or something?
>>17964697
Are you a virgin
>>17964704
No.
>>17964697
He probly doesn't give a fuck about you past getting his nuts off dude. He just told you anything you wanted to get you over to his house
I'm 28 and crushing on a 14 year old what do? in 4 years she will be legal.
Nothing for 4 years
>>17964646
Couldn't I be her friend or mentor and groom her.
>>17964648
Not with those intentions. No way.
How long does it take a buzzcut to regrow to normal length hair (combable)? I want to try one but I'm going to be applying for jobs soon and I don't want to look like a neo-nazi if I fuck up buzzing myself.
>>17964601
If you don't have the confidence to buzz your hair don't buzz your hair. Hell even a good looking one will make you look skinhead as fuck. Just keep it clean and on your head.
>>17964601
More than 4 months.
-A dude who always buzzes his hair.
>>17964601
I've buzzed my hair for most of the last 15 years at varrying lengths. If you want to grow it, you can keep it tidy and even by buzzing with progressively thicker guides on the clippers, every week. You will look very different from a #0 (right to the skin), which makes me look like a thug; to a #3 (3/8") which I wear to my office job.
The regrowth is super quick but there is a problem: past 1/2", your hair will look like ass for 2+ months while you wait to get it to a combable length.
Hope that helps.
I break up with girls way too easily. Its not even like a "fuck and chuck" thing. After I've gotten to know a woman and know her interests and what she's like I lose interest. I just can't seem to make myself care. I've thought about the whole MGTOW thing because it sounds like it'd fit me best, but besides sounding like a total meme I really enjoy relationships for the beginning at least. I just can't stop getting bored with people, people and especially women in general just seem so one dimensional and uninteresting.
What the fuck is wrong with me? I'm sure thinking this way is not normal but I'm not sure what to do. I was diagnosed with schizoid personality before, but I don't fully understand what it is, I just thought it might be pertinent.
What contraption am I looking at?
>>17964588
Bump
For me its similar, once I get a girl I get tired of them too fast and just dump them and begin all over again
>>17964588
you ever think about fucking guys?
First relationship here. Having trouble with all the sacrifice it involves and having to give up a lot of things I enjoy to spend time with her and make her happy. How do I cope?
Like Shia. Just do it.
>>17964581
It's not about making her happy. It's about both of you being happy. Don't value her over yourself. Be in equilibrium
>>17964581
>>17964589
I'm in somewhat the same position. She asked me to stop doing harddrugs. She tried to cope with it but just can't since she has traumas about it in the past. I really don't feel like I can give it up just yet. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an addict that is doing it every week or month. like once in the half year I will pop a pill or do some shrooms with friends. But she just can't handle it anymore.
She's been the perfect girl, but at this point I'm really thinking about it to break it off
