people are proud of what they do, so they talk about it. its not rubbing it in, its enjoying ones self.

>whats the point of living if you suck at everything?

to find something you are at least kinda okay at. it may take some practice though.

>why is it so hard to be at least great at one thing

because if something isn't hard than you can't really be great at it, duh.

So I binged for like four days, fell down the stairs, broke my arm, and chipped my front tooth.
My heart feels like its failing and I can't move without the bones shifting in my bicep.
I don't have insurance since I turned 27 and my parents aren't home.
I don't know what to do.

You do realize the IRS will fine you a bunch of money for not having insurance, right? Get an health insurance policy, then visit a clinic if you can move. If you can't move, then this is an emergency and you should call 911 and deal with whatever happens later. Often you can default on excessive bills anyway or negotiate them down if you want to be nice, so just fix your problem first.

Need some help adv. I've been thinking a lot recently and I've come to conclusion that good things just don't happen to me, my life is a fail. i'm probably going to fail university and once that happens, I've got nothing.

Besides the quick blog post, I was wondering, what's the fastest way to kill myself, I live in a country without access to guns like murica and I don't have a car (heard about the leaving it running thingy). I always thought about hanging, but after seeing that video of that kid who hanged herself, that shit looked really painful and also creepy.

Any methods that work first try?

Helium works well.

Even if you fail uni though, life is not over.

I mean, i have two buddies who "failed" (droppped out or never got a degree for reasons), and they both earn more than me.

One of them has his own company and he's probably going to be rich in a few yeas while i, who did everything in my power to graduate, because i was terrified of what would happen if i failed, i will still be working my 9-5 job and earn about 50k in dollars a year, maybe a little more if im really lucky.

You can't really compare this to US salaries because im not american, but still, it's average at best.

/adv/, I am faced with a quandary. I've been dating around for a little bit, just kind of fucking girls after spending about a year or so in cocoon mode. I've met this girl, and she's pretty nice. We've been on a few dates together, and she even kind of "waited" for me and kept talking to me while I spent a couple months in England traveling around. I'll list a few pros and cons that I wrote down about her while thinking about all of this when I got home from her place this morning.

Pros:
>closer to my age (within 1 year), has a steady career, has a car, her own place
>is funny
>have spent the night at her place, she has made it very clear she's into me
Cons/unsure:
>not very outwardly affectionate- it seems like there's some sort of "rift(?)" between us but maybe that's just because I'm fucking autistic and we've only been on a few dates- I haven't gone dating with people in a long time and I may be unconsciously putting up a wall or something
>her dog is a cockblock
>goes to church (I'm athiest and don't care, but I dunno if she would end up caring about my apathy towards religion or not)
>smokes cigarettes, and as a former smoker I find it difficult to resist temptation when we're outside at a bar and she lights one up

Honestly, I want to pursue her. She's got her shit in order- as do I, at least in the financial and (mostly) mental sense- but still knows how to have a good time. But I also was hurt very badly by a woman I was very much in love with a while ago, and I feel nervous about getting into a committed relationship again. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her and she basically shat all over my heart very suddenly. It really fucked me up for a bit to the point where I stopped wearing my safety gear while riding my motorcycle and I was intentionally getting into fights at bars and I almost got arrested a few times.

Should I talk to this new girl about it? What do you guys think?

Don't talk to a new girl about your ex, that is the most unattractive and annoying shit ever. Seriously avoid that conversation she will drop you and lose interest I'm a girl and I know what I'm talking about with this one

Alright, fair point. Thanks for the advice on that. Am I weird for thinking all of this shit? My friends all say I'm pretty suave with ladies but sometimes I get what they call "autism attacks" and I think this is what they mean

A friend of mine made a VERY generous offer, accepting would make me feel uncomfortable and so would be refusing.

I dunno what to do.
Mostly I don't like the idea of feeling in debt with another person.

>>17960040
Think about giving something back in the future that doesnt mean much for you but he could appreciate, its up to you i would take it personally.

I love her but she's beginning to drive me up a fucking wall. One moment, she may be high strung, completely infatuated with me and talking without breath for hours on end...the next, she wont answer my phone calls, threatens to break up with me for the dumbest, most miniscule shit imaginable.

She complains feverishly about stupid things that most people wouldn't even bat an eye for. She worries /cries endlessly about the same dumb shit, over and over; continues to bring up the same dumb subject even after we've already discussed it about 100 times over.

I'm stretched thin. I'm exhausted to shit. My energy is all but drained from me. I want to be supportive for her but I just don't know how? I want to bring up this possible psychological condition of hers but I fear what consequence that it could bring.

How can I discuss this to her without hurting her feelings?

Cuck her OP. You know this is not going to be a LT relationship, so why are you wasting your time her? Just finding someone new

>How can I discuss this to her without hurting her feelings?
You probably can't.

Being easily hurt, blowing reasonable criticisms way out of proportion, only being able to talk about your problems when she's in the 'right mood'... These are all part of the same pattern.

>I'm stretched thin. I'm exhausted to shit. My energy is all but drained from me. I want to be supportive for her but I just don't know how?
Is this sort of thing reciprocated? Or are you the only one bending over backward, stretching yourself thin, and walking on eggshells?

My suggestion is that you find someone who cares about you (or a professional who's paid to), and talk to them about this situation.
You aren't likely to fix her, and it sounds like you may need to work on setting some boundaries to protect yourself.

How can I obtain social skills as a guy who is probably autistic? I have adhd and I think social anxiety but I believe i also have this. I simply do not know when to do thifs like make certain facial expressions or when to nod my head in a conversation. Usually i would not care about this stuff but ive been trying to pick different dtuff like this up in university. Its frustratig because i lack motivation to be social and could probably completely go without human interaction and feel perfectly fine Anyone who was in my position have any advice?

Find a reason to be social. It has to agree with something you deeply believe in.

That doesn't quite make sense to me. Why do you want a gf, if you're perfectly happy without interaction?

I'm 25, been single my whole life. Never got a girlfriend by my own choice. I've had opprotunities in the distant past, but I was not in the position to do anything about it.

Right now as I sit here, I don't know if it's worth getting a girlfriend or not. when I observe my friends and their relationships, part of it looks nice. But other parts look incredibly frustrating and exhausting. So I'm not really sure if it's even worth stepping into those waters or just stay on my lonley, but nice island.

What should I do?

Well, it's just how people are. Even if someone is in a really great relationship, they will still go through really frustrating times together. I recognize that would happen with anyone eventually

not really. I've been seeing a girl for 4 years, I see her once every week or two. It's perfect for me. Every time I see her we have fun, but there's nothing to argue or get upset about because I maintain some distance. It's not a typical relationship, but it suits me just fine.

Ok so im in this ordeal with a girl I really like and I wanna know if im being played for a chump or not.

First thing's first though, she lies a lot (she practically lies about everything, no matter what it is). She told me straight to my face that she loved me in a serious way then denied it later on.

Thing is here, she works for my boss, who happens to be a close relative of mine. If she catches wind of us having a relationship then she gets fired, so im assuming shes doing it just to protect her job.

Then she randomly told me that there's another guy she's with, whom I can't see at all (she claims that she talks to him regularly but she's always on the phone with her brother so I doubt it).

Her brother wants to come over to work withe and im the guy who approved his Cv and everything, every time I mention helping out her brother she gets super nice.

She also dropped a lot of hints that she's into me (I saw her sending text messages to her brother about how she liked me), but every time I try to ask about it she just refuses the whole idea and says she has another boyfriend.

Help me, am I being used or what?

How about that? You answered your own question.
You know she's a liar. You know she's lying to you. The only way to win this game is to not play.

Yeah but I have feelings for her. I know she's lying through her teeth but I feel great whenever I'm around he. I never felt this way towards a woman before.

This is my first time posting here, I figured this would be a better avenue for some honest advice. I'm very irritated and I'd just like to hear a few opinions on the situation and hopefully a few suggestions to this issue.

I met a girl online a few months ago and she's coming onto me. We both have PS4s so we've been playing the same games together and we'll often play for hours at a time because we make such a great team. It's gotten to where she's been introducing me to her family that also plays the same games we do, and she's blowing up my inbox saying things like "next time you get on, we HAVE to play together, we're awesome" and "I hope you're doing well, I haven't heard from you in a few days!". I also can't get online without her immediately sending me a party invitation with just me and her. She's also admitted that she's been telling me things that no one else online knows.

It's getting to where I don't even want to play my PS4 anymore. She's not leaving me alone and it's getting irritating. What should I do about this situation? I don't want to block her because she IS a nice girl, but I just don't want to be in an online relationship because they fail so often.

What are some thoughts on my problem?

Talk to her. You're basically having an internet relationship you haven't agreed on.
It seems like she is taking things more seriously than you.
>>
>>17959886
Just hide when you get on. Or buy some solo games and only play those for a while. Or be an adult and tell her you'd rather play alone.

Is it time to accept I'm never going to find anyone?
I'm fit, I have a well paying job for my age (60k, 23 yrs old) I have prospects and I'm sociable. I've been tested for autism and disorders, and I am clean.
I fear that I've fallen through the cracks of the people that simply do not ever succeed in passing on their genes. I've gone to church my whole life and there are no decent girls there. I live in the city, so there's no hope of finding a good girl.
Is it time to give up? Is it time to start working purely for myself and give up on any hope of companionship?

How to go to sleep in a reasonable time?

In 2015 I started going to college and moved out of my house. I was always pretty fond of sleeping but when I was at high school and stayed home homesick or something, I was always able to get off the bed before noon. I woke up around 11am and I was happy. Now, I can't fall asleep before 3am and won't wake up before 15pm.

It's really fucked how I got into this "sleepspan". It doesn't matter what I do during the day, I can be tired as fuck, I can be working all day long, but I still won't be able to fall asleep at reasonable time I don't even remember when was the last time I fell asleep before 1am...

I was thinking about sleeping pills, where can I get them? What kind of doctor can prescribe me those?

I just can't get out of the bed. I have very vivid dreams every time I fall asleep and waking up is like walking off from a great movie you won't ever see again. And the world in my dreams is much more interesting than what anyone could ever experience on earth.
