My life is a waste, I'll probably kill myself sooner or later. Probably within the next few years.

Ive been an NEET autist virgin handholdless contactless semi mute depressed apathetic shutin guy that's almost about to hit 30. My survival is due to autismbux, but for a long while kinda seems like a waste. Im not doing anything worthwhile and I don't have any thing to look forward to.

It gets better guys. Challenge yourselves to see what's really going on. Push yourselves, even if it hurts. It hurts now, so that it won't have to so much in the future.

5 years on and off as a NEET, never off my parents dime. The whole thing was living a total lie, sweeping shame under a rug. Pretending not to exist around their friends, around our family. Acting like I didn't know how much I'd made my mother cry by being such a failure.

I only got out of it by forcing myself to take a part time job as a barista, after a long bout of idleness and depression. The job hurt. It was stressful and humiliating. It was a high volume store, and the business of it was overwhelming. I'd come home from it and lay in bed for 2 hours just to feel all the things I'd shelved while at work. People looked down on me, talked around me as if I wasn't there, said how sorry they felt for me behind my back. Shift managers would fuck with me and intimidate me because I was meek and they were stressed. I got juggled from position to position, but managed to be a total fuckup in every single one. I wanted to kill myself a lot.

But there were good people, too. One of them helped me get a full-time position as a baker someplace else. It's enough to be independent, which I have been for about 4 months going strong. Things are alright now. They got better for an autist like me. You all can pull yourself out of this hole, too.

We've got someone in the group who's 39, and another who's 28. Most of the rest of the group is in their mid/early 20s. There's a lot of people in similar situations to you all finding their own way through life. You're not alone, Anon. And if you like, we have a lot of really good resources in the Pastebin devoted to dealing with anxiety and depression.

The biggest thing to remember though, and it sounds silly to say but a lot of people forget it. Change only happens if you're willing to take the steps to change. You don't have to rush in over your head, and you don't have to change your whole life at once. Tiny little baby steps are best when you're in this situation. Build on one small success after another.

>tfw university is now doing diversity assessments (took them long enough)
>tfw finally putting more effort into recruiting volunteers, employees, and students from all backgrounds
>tfw white and worked my ass off for nine years here
>tfw might lose some of my opportunities because of these programs
>tfw fear it might already have spread to other jobs

The thing is I didn't even vote Trump. And I'm actually for diversifying the education/employment environment because there is honestly way too many white guys here (enough to call this an albino convention), which in turn just scares way non-whites/non-males. But I don't want all my hard work going down the tube just like that.

And please, keep your /pol/ shit to a minimum. Even if that's like asking a six-year-old to stop singing "Let It Go."

Diversity for its own sake is stupid. The best person for the job should always get the position without any regard to race. To hell with quotas.

>The best person for the job should always get the position without any regard to race.
Unfortunately in a free market society, if one race starts to have the better positions (earned or not), others will start to prefer them or view others of the same race as better for the job than others (like India to tech support), which screws over others trying to apply.
>>
What part of the university are you working?

Hard sciences, engineering, computers? Don't worry too much.

Also out in the real working world, the diversity thing isn't a real concern.

Hey /adv. So for a few years now I've been wanting to cut all my hair off into a pixie cut, kinda like the one shown in the picture. I just think it would look really cute, and it will be a lot easier to take care of. I've always had long hair my entire life, so I feel like I need to change it. And of course if I don't like like it I could always grow it back. But the only thing that's really stopping me is my mother. Let's just say she grew up in the hippie times and by old-fashioned standards, all women must have long hair and all men must have short hair. And if they don't follow those standards, they're gay/trans/etc. Hearing my mother talk so negatively about the LGBT community makes me sick, and I feel like it would get worse if I get a haircut that she would deem me as a lesbian (which joke's on her, I'm bi) and disown me for good. Do note that I am out on my own, but not far enough away from where she lives, and we talk/visit each other regularly. Do help out the best you can, /adv!

I'm 31, haven't worked in about 10 years.
I'm married, father of three.
Wife has worked most of our relationship but she's on maternity for our new child and money is getting tight.
I've stopped being a fat piece of shit in the last year, dieted and working out, joined clubs and generally in a good place.
But I've recently got the feeling that i should get a job. I'm just kind of scared.
I used to fit kitchens and general carpentry. I was an apprentice, but flunked out before getting properly qualified, I do have the skills though, just no paper.
I know i should be looking for any type of job just to get some money but i have this anxiety of family or people i know judging me for working in a shop or waiting on tables ect..

I just really need some advice on what to do or how to get over this fear. 10 years on job seekers is a long time i know.
. In Ireland by the way

I know the feeling, can be pretty terrifying having to face someone and let them be aware of your relative failure.

WTF are you me?

I've been back at work for a few weeks now - it's a shit show and I've spilled a lot of spaghetti but

my advice is to not give a fuck and just do it. No one is the wiser. For all they know you were in prison or CIA, protect your neck and never let em see you sweat.

I've posted about her 4-5 times or so. Anyway, it's my manager (she's 26, I'm 23)

So yesterday I was at work and she said something to me, but I didn't really hear her and was in an off mood so just ignored her and went about my business (also I had to poo really bad and was in the middle of walking to the bathroom) , and for the rest of the day she wouldn't say a word to me and just glared at me. She was being friendly to everyone else, though.

Skip to today and when she got to work she glared at me when she saw me, so I said "Hey, how's it going?" and she just looked at me, paused, and said "oh, hey." in a bitchy tone.

When I was leaving? Same fucking thing...I say "see you tomorrow" and she just looks at me, glares, and says "bye" in the same tone as earlier.

For anyone who remembers, this is the girl who tried scaring me with a knife at one point as a joke, and today I was legit scared she was gonna cut me.

her eyes went from their normal cheery/bright glint they have, to just empty and glassy looking...Then right back to being cheery when she'd talk to other people.

When she was talking to other people she was being all nice and talkative, but to me? Nothing. I asked her a question about how to do something and she just looked at me til I finished talking and walked away.

And I'm just like "dude, you're gonna yell at me if I don't do this right and that'll make you madder" (I didn't really say this, but that's what I was thinking)

What do I do? She's acting like my ex-girlfriend did when I broke up with her, but with this girl I've never even texted her....What gives?

Does anyone here think she's into me, was into me at one point, or??

:(

Who cares, she's your boss. Not your girlfriend, just pull your weight and mind your business.

It is you again? Man, I told you like 20 times, you should've asker her out, it appears she is fed up with hitting on you and getting nothing on return.
I think your chance has passed, maybe she will be fine tomorrow, who knows, I would act cautious with her from now on if I were you.

If things normalise you should just ask her out for a drink already.
>>
>>17799559
technically she's just a supervisor since there's either the GM or one of the two assistant managers there each shift. idk.

>>17799576
She probably is, but it's like a switch flipped out of nowhere and she was pissed off.

I'll see about tomorrow, but idk. I'm gonna tread lightly, that's for sure. I mean, why would she be pissed in the first place? If she was being 100% obvious about any signs of liking me, I wouldn't not know what to do in the first place.

This sucks. I fuck up almost everything in my life. I'm just gonna not ask her out and be depressed about it every day since that's all I'm good at doing.

Has anyone ever gone through opiate withdrawal here? Trying to wean myself down, I've got an excellent support system -- but a big part of me just wants to find a quiet room and sink into oblivion. My significant other has said she would leave me on several occasions but even with that looming over me it's not enough.

Not with opiates, but I have a serious alcohol problem I've actively been trying to kick out of my life this past year.

I can't say I can relate because my issue is very different from your issue, but just keep in mind that the end result will be worth it. You'll have a better outlook on life and won't have that addiction nag prodding at you all day every day.

The best motivation I've found in my situation is not to do it for others, but to do it for myself and my own self-improvement and a better, longer life.

Do your best, Anon. I don't know you but I'm rooting for you.
>>
>>17799537
Thank you for the pep talk, I realize it'll be worth it in the end but it's easy to lose sight of your end goal when your brain isn't working like it's supposed to.
>>
>>17799521
Dunno about the physical withdrawal, but as general "recovering from addiction" advice - It's not enough to just stop taking the substance. You have to replace it with something meaningful, you'll need something new to occupy all this free time. Start figuring out goals and plans for your drug-free life, or it will eventually become impossible to shake off that "nothing to do, might as well get high" feeling. You'll need to keep yourself busy and occupied.

One thing I personally found REALLY helpful - I adopted a dog. The dog needs to be fed twice a day, on time, and walked twice a day, on time. He depends on me, he needs attention and affection. Sometimes it's easy to say I don't give a shit about my own life, but it's hard to not give a shit about my dog. He makes it easier to avoid my impulse to shut down and disappear

>>17799525
I was paranoid and a beta cuck so she lost interess. Also I got her mad and she got her "little revenge" by kissing another guy when we were out with some friends. After the kiss she gave me that look like "yeah I did it cunt" and I got so fucking mad that I haven't talk to her in like a month. God dammit what a cuck I was.

>>17799536
Also I was paranoid and I thought that she was just being friendly and shit. I got to call our dates just some "friendly meetings" and never made that step to kiss her or some other shit. Basically I was a cuck.

Im 22 years old and have huge dark circles around my eyes. I'm currently unemployed but i doubt anyone would want to hire me since i look like a junkie. I drink allot of water every day and get at least 8 hours of sleep most nights and it NEVER gets better. God forbid I actually get a bad sleep and i look disgusting. I think about it everyday, making me depressed and sad and sometimes questioning my existence. It seems silly to be so upset about a physical thing but i honestly feel like an outcast in society, ive never seen another person with them as bad as mine(even most fucking homeless people). I see people much older than me who have dark circles and it makes me wonder, what the fuck will i look like at that age? Everytime i look in the mirror im repulsed and i imagine most people looking at me think the same thing.
Im mostly posting this to vent but would be nice to hear if any anons are going through the same thing.

So I'm a 23 year old man and a 16 year old girl wants to go out with me. I think she's attractive. 16 is also the age of consent here.

I honestly have so much trouble with women these days and haven't had sex since the age of 18. I kind of just want to have fun. I don't know what her intentions are but she says that she won't tell anybody but then again.. She's 16. I'm afraid that she'll start telling her friends about how she's going out with this older dude.

I want to go out with her and I can deal with it personally because I'm already quite a strange fella and I accept it. I'm just afraid of the potential reputation suicide.

What should I do?

Dated a 23 year old for a few years at the age of 16. It worked out alright. It's not reputation suicide if you get her a fake like my ex did and she plays along. Anyway, best relationship I'll ever have in my memory most likely.

He told a couple of his friends and it was funny because we saw Scott Pilgrim with him. (Features that exact age gap.)
