how is this even a person.jpg

I posted this to /r/relationships but I would like to hear from you guys too.


I should probably preface this by saying I have Asperger's (mild autism) and my friend doesn't know that.
We have been close for a few years now and he is the one that has used the term "best friend" and said I'm "like a brother to him" but we barely spend any time together anymore. He used to be a nEET for about the first year out of high school but probably around this past summer he got a part time/minimum wage job but that wasn't where the problems started. Several months ago he quit his old job because he didn't like it and soon after that he got a new one and around the same time he got a new girlfriend (before her he pretty much exclusively had casual sex) and around then is when he started ignoring me. We used to hang out about once a week, sometimes more and now I'm lucky if it's once a month. He also isn't returning many of my texts which is really what hurts the most because I understand that he might be to busy to hang out sometimes but there is no way he is too busy to return a text. But even when it comes to hanging out it's obviously not that he's too busy but that for whatever reason I'm not a priority any more because though he did say he's getting more hours than his old job it is still part time. There also was an event that I had scheduled to go with him to (it was free) several months in advance and the week of when I told him he said he had to work that day, we had made the fucking plans before he even got this job. When we do hang out things seem fine but when we don't he is incredibly distant. About nine months ago we had a fight and when he thought it was going to ruin our friendship he was on the verge of tears, now I don't feel like he cares about me at all. I want to just phone him up (if I can even get a hold of him) and tell him that we aren't friends anymore. Is there anything I can/should do about this? Should I just accept that the friendship is dead?

It is incredibly immature to end a friendship because a friend is busy with life. As hurtful as it is that he isn't as active in the frienship as he once was, he wasn't put on this Earth just to be your friend.
This also falls into your lap on solely depending on one friend to always be there for you- it's a tough reality, but you shouldn't lean on friends like that, because once they're not around you're miserable.
Part of being a good friend is being understanding and supportive. He hasn't done a single thing that could be considered malicious, mean or nasty... Just been MIA and inconsiderate which can be explained by his new relationship and new job. He's busy, give him a break for God's sake.
Aren't you happy for him? He's succeeding in his pursuit of work and has got himself a girlfriend. Or is it a little bit of envy over him doing well, little jealous that it's all happening without you being included?
You should consider telling him how you feel before you explode, be patient and let him know how much you miss him without being angry and starting a huge argument over something that can be solved with a conversation.
Don't be so willing to throw relationships away that you obviously invest too much into. Also get some more friends so you're not as dependant on your best friend.

>>17867792

Thanks for the advice, but like I said in the OP what is really bothering me is that he can't return a fucking text. I understand if he doesn't always have time to hang out but I can't believe he simply doesn't have time to text me back. I mean most of the time its not very important stuff that he has ignored but there was one time when I specifically said it was important and asked him to get back to me as soon as possible and he simply never did. I waited more then a week thinking surely he would respond eventually.

Is it okay to live life purely as a lazy consumer?

>have a job that i don't hate and it pays okay
>have a wonderful gf that i'll probably marry some year if things continue going this well
>have no hobbies or even "interests", i really just chill with her doing whatever or play videogames if there's nothing else i feel like doing, otherwise i snooze comfortably by the tv until i go to bed

>tried for years to "become" something, a creator, a maker, someone who contributes aside from just doing my work and relaxing all day
>drawing, making music, playing instruments, sports, going to events, writing, reading books, etc
>none of it stayed with me for long, even the ones i thought i'd had decided on, i'm probably just too lazy to keep my interest going and i don't feel like i can improve anyway so why bother
>not sure if this is a problem to care for, or if it really isn't necessary
I think what I mean to ask is as I initiated this OP: Is it okay to not be any sort of "creator", and just live the rest of my life comfortably consuming everyone else's work?

No one can judge what you do with your free time, what your passions are. It's perfectly normal and accettable to be boring.

However it doesn't sound like you are happy with yourself, so you should continue to focus on things to try out until you feel comfortable with something.
>>
>>17867734
I don't even think anyone does judge me, I just perceive myself as a worse person because I don't "do" things. I'm not sure how to explain it though.

I feel like compared to all those people who make great images, or all those people who make great music, or all those people who perform and entertain thousands of people, or even just youtuber "content creators" - they all "do" something, you know? They make other peoples' day better, while I just... I just am?

Right now I just want someone to tell me that it's okay to only sleep, eat, work and relax, no pressure. I'm not sure if it is or not. I don't know what most other people around me do.
I think my current worries actually started a few days ago when I learned that this guy at my workplace actually makes literal millions every day, and he just works at my place as a hobby (he's an assistant for kids with CP and such). I admire him both for having the energy to just help people with a smile, but also that he makes money I'll never dream of seeing. Meanwhile, I just... am. I don't know if it's okay.

What does /sci/ use for grinding practice problems / taking notes? I feel like I'm going through an insane amount of paper(could be more efficient space wise). Also limited desk space.

I'm thinking of getting a whiteboard but just taking a pack of paper out and continuously doing problems seems so easy.

I'm sure there are good electronics for taking notes, but every device I've used with a stylus didn't come close to writing on paper with pen or pencil.

Just curious on how others do this and what they think is best / most efficient.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

I thought I wanted to be a graphic designer, but I was wrong. I'm 27. Too old to change my mind. I'm terrified for my future.

Is it okay to not know what I want at my age?

How can i improve my memory? I have incredibly shitty memory. Example: I read a whole chapter of a book recently. I can explain to you what happens in said chapter but I can't remember a single sentence completely. The closest i can get to remembering a sentence in a book is a very scrambled version of the sentence. I can remember the setting, the characters, the plot, but i cannot remember any exact sentencez from one.

>*how do i stop being insecure?*

to give some background at was at a girls housewarming party a few days ago and while we've been talking a bit before and i think shes cute a mutual friend keeps dropping in anytime we end up alone in a room together.
Eventually I leave and joke to a my best mate about about how the other lads cockblocking me.
So he takes me aside and tries to talk me up
publicly and loudly
talking about what i should do
eventually up to three other people get in on it, say im fine joking about and to go for it.
I didnt sperg out but I had to laugh it off and take a buch of strangers browbeat me for what felt like forever when i tried to keep changing the subject my friend turned it back to me

During this I'm in my own personal hell, having my best friend belittle me in front of a group of strangers and talk down to me like im a fucking idiot who doesnt know how to talk to women hurt way more than i ever expected.

I know they never meant it but i cant stop thinking about it, ruined the rest of the night for me and I still feel like shit about it 3 days after.
how do i get over myself?
Failing that how do i get people to see me serisually? I feel like my friends don't even see me as a man

Your friend was kind of a dick but I'm sure he had good intentions.
You should mention to him that jt annoyed you and you'd like not to feel so embarassed in the future. If he apologizes then it's all good. If not then he's a prideful bitch and deserves whatever shit you want to throw at him for being a prick.

gfs only hobbies are browsing insta and having sex with me. She wants to do it all the time, but it feels like a chore, partly because she is a bit of a dead fish, partly because I have way less free time than her (trying to start a business to be able to quit my job and she is still in collage). She complains if I don't go all passionate, which is fair to be honest, but what does she expects when I tell her I have other things to do, tired or just not in the mood.
Problem is when I tried to talk about it she threw a fit telling me I'm not loving her, while imo I put way more effort into our relationship to work.
How can I make her see she is being unreasonable while avoiding the drama?

>>17867471
First off, she needs another hobby. Also, if she doesn't actually do anything in bed either, you could try approaching it from a "we both need to get the passion into our sex life" kinda deal, so it seems like you're not just blaming her.

tbqh though she sounds like the kind of person where drama is inevitable; people with empty lives tend to thrive off of it.

She should respect when you don't feel like it, and you should definitely make that abundantly clear. A relationship with no sexual respect is a doomed one imo.
>>
Does she get mad / upset when you ask her to do things (anything at all) or ask her to change in any way?
>>
>>17867471
Try BDSM or maybe hire a black guy to pleasure your gf while she's blindfolded. Never let her knew it's another dude. You can focus on your business.

This semester I was Academically dismissed from my community college I've been attending for 2 years. I can't make excuses because that won't solve anything, but the past 2 years of my life were rough for a lot of reasons out of school, and I'd be lying if I said some of those things didn't cause me to fuck up. I basically got an entire semester of failed grades because my mother was in the hospital and nearly died. This was the last semester I planned to go to this college, after this I was going to go to a bigger university nearby and change my major. Sadly, on the same day, I was told by the university I was not accepted due to my gpa (which was below a 2.0), and told by the community college that I was Academically dismissed and couldn't attend the following semester. I'm not entirely sure what to do, I'm trying to set up something to talk to the application analyst at this university, so I can explain that I'm trying to make a change, from my major to my lifestyle, so I can get through this, but I don't know if it's going to work out. Does anyone have any general advice to give, or experiences with academic dismissal?

stay away from student loans right now. do not get sunk in debt, even for a community college.

get a regular job for a while and get some savings up in your corner for a few months while you emotionally patch yourself back together.

avoid relationships deeper than casual dating, you don't need to fuck something up right now either with too much comittment or a unexpected kid or something stupid that you knew better.

Why didn't you withdraw from your classes if you weren't coping? That's the first thing they're going to ask you when you present them with your sob story

>>17867401
I actually had already applied and was accepted for loans that would cover the university I'm trying to attend. Problem is that I live with my parents and they will not support me if I'm not in school. I've had a job long before college and its stable and pays well, but is only part time.

I have the possibility of starting a relationship with someone (we've been on one date and they're interested in continuing) but right now I feel it's quite possible I will want to break up with them in the future, partly because I'm only 20. Could use some useful advice on how I should continue. Thanks in advance.
7 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>17867390
Well, I think we have all seen it like this when entering a new relationship. The fear of breaking up just shows that you're afraid of being hurt, and perhaps you don't feel this relationship is worth it.

I have a feeling is something more than "we might break up in the future". What do you think, OP?
>>
You are 20. Almost EVERYONE in your age range is in relationships that don't last.

Don't over think things too hard. As long as you both know what's up coming in, just go with the flow.

Like.. if they're already talking about how they have a 5 year plan and want to get married in 2 years, have a house in 4 and kids in 5... Then yeah, probably be respectful and bounce.

Otherwise though, no one knows what the future holds, and holding yourself back because you're afraid something MIGHT change or MIGHT not last, is just overthinking things to the extreme.

Live life to be happy, not to be afraid. Even if this ends, the memories and experiences will last and go to become a part of who you are.

Good experiences can almost never be erased by bad ones, and they're always something you can treasure.
>>
>>17867418
Yeah, I think you're right about many people feeling the fear of being hurt when they begin a new relationship. In my case I think I'm more concerned about hurting the other person since I'm currently not interested in starting a relationship with the intention of making it last "forever".

>>17867423
You're right, I do have a tendency to overthink things. Thank you very much, anon, this was very helpful.

HELP!

I'm recovering from depression at the moment and just completed a partial hospital program. Before I started the hospital thing, I gave my number to a person who was equally miserable.

This is shitty of me, but I'm dodging their calls because I'm afraid of surrounding myself with negativity. I got a message from them saying "Hi. Can you talk to me? I'm feeling distressed."

Any helpful advice is appreciated!

Don't just duck the calls. If they're already fucked up, it could make them worse. Don't hang out with them if you're afraid they'll help you relapse either though. Explain the situation to them, be courteous and reply a couple times, and find a good place to stop contact without looking like you forced the stop.

You're right. I know that would make me feel worse if the rolls were flipped.

-How do I explain 2 months of not calling back?

-What should I say to them? I'm not a pushover but think my sympathy gets the best of me. (that's why I gave them my number in the first place)

>How do I explain 2 months of not calling back?
It depends. How long were you in the hospital?

>What should I say to them?
I'd need to know more to get a general gameplan going. Just talk to them like you normally would, I guess.

For the next two or three months I'll have a ridiculous amount of free time. In-between jobs, so to speak.

Anyway, I'm curious. What's a skill that I could get proficient at in that amount of time? Not something that takes years of repeated daily practice like a language or instrument, but something that I can look back on after a few months of dedication and think "Wow, I'm actually pretty good at this now."

See if you can find the game anywhere else first. Around you, maybe a friend, other sites and such. It's probably not the wisest decision, but if you're really wanting it, you could just go for it. Just be careful and make sure it's the last resort.

eBay has really good buyer protection. I'd say it's fairly safe in that you have a high chance of getting your money back if you do get fucked over.

She can't hold you hostage. Anyone who says shit like I will kill myself if you leave you simply must fucking leave. It's blackmail. People don't blackmail people they love, people blackmail people they need something from. She probably needs your attention. She doesn't deserve it.

I have a question for biology students or anyone in that field,

About the the portal vein in humans.

When you shove a suppository up your ass I know it melts and then the substance in it travels through the portal vein to the liver which is then distributed throughout the body, right?

But wouldn't the substance also directly travel to the small intestine?

If so how much of it would enter your small intestine?

Fuck nobody on this entire website cares about biology and it's the most interesting science.

Not really a biology student (I'm aiming for medicine) but I have to agree that biology is one of the interesting branches

Could you elaborate on that "directly travel"? Like, the suppository gets dissolved, enters liver then towards the SI or some of the dissolved suppository enters the small intestine?
