Title ^
I try to tell them, but they're all lazy and make up dumb reasons, all they want to ever do involves money, they just can't bring themselves to meet each other face to face phones down pc's off and without the skype voice delay, our connection to one another is very superficial even though we've been friends for years, but at our current situations all we've got is each other.

I know they can not be convinced, where do I find new people to meet? I'm from Israel and there's no online meetups or stuff like that, I don't go to college and probably won't ever go because of financial situation, I just work a normal minimum wage retail job, I sleep eat and shit.

>all they ever want to do involves money

Realistically unless we have a co op game going or its special occasion I don't usually hang out with my friends without spending money.

Everything fun costs at least 8 dollars OP

That's not to my taste, we weren't born to talk to each other through screens and go to restaurants and movies and distractions distractions distractions.
Human connection, talking to a person face to face, bit of drinks, some snacks, I'm interested in the person - not the game or the movie or the food.

I go and get dinner with one of my friends at least once a week.

We sit and talk after we eat, we just don't eat and part ways. The other thing is my two closest friends, the ones I spend the most time with, I know everything about. Ive known one for over a decade, and spent the a shit load of time with the other. We never talk about the past or anything because we know every story.

We go out and get dinner or go do something because we need to blow off steam or take a break. That's what it's for. If your friends don't need to do that then they won't go out for free

Just get some new friends or quit crying like a baby

Should I even ever get a GF? I've realized that I don't actually want a girl for herself, I want the status and feelings of normalcy and inclusiveness that she would bring me. It would be so nice to get lessen of my inferiority complex (even though it has driven me to do good things in the past).

It sounds like a good idea to try and form a relationship just so I can feel normal, so I can feel like I people wouldn't mock me for a truthful answer on questions like "What was your last relationship like?"

I feel EXTREMELY vulnerable to public humiliation at the moment and those feelings are getting stronger over time.

How do you get the energy or motivation to do anything?

If you work hard then you'll miss the big picture and never be well rounded. If you become well rounded then you'll never become great at anything.

The only intellectually respectable jobs are mathematics, physics, or theoretical compute scientists and even then you have to sacrifice many aspects of your life to achieve anything worthwhile in them. Everything else is cuckworthy. Academics who study practical shit like distributed systems or fiber optic cables simply help Stacey get quicker chad matches on Tinder (and this academic is far ABOVE wageslaves. All jobs outside academia are intellectually worthless). And in all academic areas you are ultimately playing the lottery in terms of success.

All of art has become a mechanism for social signalling by the consumers and blatant money grabbing and self indulgence by the producers. The exception is video games, which has its own unique problems but is the most technically advanced art form.

All Philosophy consists of flailing about in the infinitely large space of unfalsifiable thoughts. That's fucking it. Mountains of "public intellectuals" have nothing non-trivial to say.

I simply don't respect almost all jobs on either the intellectual level or on importance. Even a millionaire CEO of some to-do list company talks about changing the world. They have nothing better to do!

My now ex boyfriend won't stop texting my mom to complain about me. He's basically just getting as many pity points as he can with her. He would do it when we were together as well and I would catch him every time. He would jusy say sorry and that he wouldn't do it again. Well last week I caught him calling her and this week I saw all the texts. What the hell do I do??? My mom is also a prick who only gathers info about others to later use them against them. She also likes to play victim with others as well so I can see why he loves texting her so much, she makes him feel "understood". I am so fucking sick and tired of this and it's so frustrating he keeps doing it.

Not sure what you want to hear, but tell first your mom and then him to cut that shit out, you want him out of your life. Those are some disgusting traits on ur mother, just tell her u dont want anything to do with him anymore and she shouldn't either.
>>
>>17768595
This shit has been going on since i was in high school. She called my ex when he broke up with me (she not knowing at all) just to snoop around and talk about me.

They both already know. The only thing that comes to mind is to cut things off completely with my mother. My aunt died recently so I have no family left. He used to call my aunt but she would tell him to fuck off basically so he moved on to my mom.

Even combined with alcohol, you need a metric fuckton of Xanax to kill yourself. You'll just blackout most likely.

Don't fucking kill your self with a train, that will be traumatic as hell for the river and you'll fuck up the train system for the whole day.

Have you considered not killing yourself?

Bitch it's a trauma for the driver. I know an old man who drove trams all his life until the day he ran over some suicidal fuck. He retired and couldn't get over it for years. Never drove trams again, never had a fulfilling job since then. He loved his job and had passion. Now he's a bitter gramp because of someone like you.

If you're too much of a pussy to kill yourself, don't expect others to unwillingly do it for you, you inconsiderate shit

How accurate is this rule for working out height?

Add the mother's height and the father's height in either inches or centimeters.
Add 5 inches (13 centimeters) for boys or subtract 5 inches (13 centimeters) for girls.
Divide by two.

Do you follow this rule? Did you end up taller than your parents?

I'm 20 and have only ever really been in one not-too-serious relationship, but I've currently been getting a lot of pressure to start getting into relationships.

It's not that I'm averse to the idea of one, but I feel like there's so much stuff I need to work on as an individual that I'll never really have the time to dedicate any of myself to another person. I've thought of/wanted some degree of human companionship from time to time, but seeking a partner seems like a hassle and time I should put to better use. I'm probably an average-below average person, and was raised in a mostly female camp of "you don't deserve to find a partner/if you aren't the best, don't expect women to want you/everyone can do better than you", and while it's good for humbling, I guess, I can't really take the idea of being in a relationship at any point in my life seriously since my self esteem is shot.

Are there any other anons that feel this way?

Iktf anon. Though I'm no man, but being a homo I get the "you don't deserve a partner/you're not good enough" voice that fills your subconscious most of the time.
I don't think this is too unusual, especially when you didn't get to date in your early teens (I haven't ever dated before).
Do you exercise often? That usually helps a good lot with self-esteem issues. I remember I used to feel a lot more confident and fulfilled when I'd for a run about just 3 days a week.
>>
>>17768521
I waned in frequency until I just don't anymore.

Also yeah, never got to date in my early teens. Went from being just sort of a background student in elementary to getting bullied in middle and changing districts and not knowing anyone in high school.

I know, but I was just pointing out I literally never had any chances for relationships. I had crushes, sure, and was so bold as to just say I liked them without the bullshit, but nothing was ever reciprocated.

because girls don't give a shit if you tell them you like them

did you ever consider what's in it for her if you tell them you like them?
nothing

all girls want is to be shown a good time and someone to take care of them, not financially but emotionally.
You can't do that if you're an emotional mess yourself, which considering your self loathing you are

How do you deal with the fact that you're surrounded by cheaters?

I dropped out of college first year.

My English teacher made it very clear to the class she wanted to be bribed. She also made numerous references to the fact that she was promiscuous, had a failed marriage, and was basically willing to fuck students for better grades.

I was threatened mid-class by 2 blacks gangsters who didn't like me who were going to college to become cops because hurr durr kill whitey.

Another person saw me getting sad in class, he was cheating through the class which was evidently clear from the girls he was always conversing with. He stared me in the fucking face and laughed because he knew I knew he was cheating and there was nothing I could do about it. I was also the teachers most hated student because I didn't know what I was doing, he was the 2nd most loved next to the girls who were helping him cheat.

I was harassed by numerous people just walking from point A to point B on college campus who were friends of the people I've mentioned.
Why is it so hard to just try and be honest and hardworker?
How do I cope with this? I can't sleep at night because of these people.

All I wanted to do was to get psychology degree to help people but then shit like this happens.

I don't even feel like I want to help people anymore or go to college at all. Feel like I'd much rather be a nobody than be successful with people like that around.

It's called dealing with the bullshit, if people cheat, let them cheat, if people are hypos, let them be hypos, just make sure they are not cheating off you, or that they are not hypocrites towards you, if they do, call them out, your kind of late in the game to realize that you should only worry about yourself and nobody else, if your English teacher is a woman, then fuck her. It's an edge and in the real world there is no fair, only victory. Oh and about the helping people, make sure your helping people for yourself, not the other way around.
>>
>>17768368
Harsh reality of life really. People WILL take advantage of you. Best to be on your guard and worry about yourself first. Helping people is its own reward. Don't let them take away your kindness. Some people are just assholes.
>>
Forgive, but I can only speak from experience.

I work as a jailer in one of the largest sheriff's offices in the US in a "specialized" unit for mental health.

When working with people around you who are at times professional manipulators, you need to set very clear boundaries about who you are and what you will or will not accept. You can be amicable, but do not let your kindness be taken for weakness or it WILL be used against you.

I'm not suggesting you punch out anyone who gets after you, but think of it this way. You're reacting to them. You're giving them POWER over you and that's one thing you need to understand about people is that almost EVERYONE wants some form of power or control in their life. If they get that sense of control from running roughshod over you, it gives them their little bit of power and they'll see what else they can get. If they cheat and get away with it, it's power over who they cheated on. If they successfully lie, they feel more inclined to continue and so it goes.

The more you give in to it and don't establish that barrier, the more others are going to notice it and they won't respect you. In a jail, respect is a currency and once you lose it, what you say doesn't mean anything. In the world, respect may not be currency, but it still carries a lot of weight because that's what most of today's movements claim to be based in.

Respect yourself. Don't give in. Be cordial but don't be taken for a fool. It isn't really your responsibility to worry about what the people around you are doing, so long as you are doing what you need to do and living by a standard you have set for yourself. If they want to fuck up their own worlds, let them. It's not your choice, it's theirs and when it blows up in their face, it'll still be their problem.

Met a really cute girl, was messaging her on whatsapp.

She sent me a message asking to chill on saturday (last saturday) over a week ago.

I forgot to check whatsapp. All my clients email me or call me, I have no friends, and the girls I am casual with know to email me since I never check whatsapp/texts.

I literally forgot to check my fucking whatsapp for the week.

Super salty.

Thinking about just calling her tommrow.

What do I say?

How do I explain not answering the whatsapp for a week? I don't want to tell her 'Haha I have no friends so I just don't check texts'

I think my best bet here is to just call her and say 'sorry, when are you free'.

I work 80 hours a week+ and it's hard to meet women and this one is a real dime, 9/10

Met her on OKC, work hours, no friends, stuck with online dating and hitting on randoms irl.

Also, YOU offer a time to meet. Waiting for her to give you a time is off putting.

Yeah I don't understand why I didn't just text her.

I'm 20 years old, I'm a hard worker, natural born leader, can speak 2 languages, and a gpa of 3.14. A while back i dropped out of college because I had a panic attack and couldn't take the pressure, but reguardles since I was 16 I have never been able to hold a job longer than 3 months, since I was 16 I have been fired from 5 jobs, I don't know what's wrong with me, at first it seems like I'm doing adove average than all of a sudden "we have to let you go" I fucking hate it, I don't seem to be able to stay at a job past a certain point, because of myself, oh and my last job, I actually fired myself from my job, so I mean, go figure
>it's all rambeling from here guys
it's not like I can't make money without one, but when I'm not in a job I feel useless and like a leach, I try to constantly do something to improve my life, but it's like it doesn't matter because I keep ending up in the same place, my mothers basement getting high and playing video games with only (depending on the situation) less than $400 usd.

Same here. I worked mostly factory jobs and I was always let go. I couldn't keep up. I don't know how everyone else does it. I know I'm better than this. You know you're better than this.

Doesn't matter what I the job is, I always go at it 101% but it's like fuck, every day, talking to the same people, doing the same things, coworkers asking why the fuck I don't talk to anyone more than just 30 seconds, it's because i despise humanity that's why, maybe I feel like I should do something better, but without a college degree, I have limited options

>>17768339
Sorry man. Hope you find something. Personally, I don't care if I don't have a job. If I was given the basic bare minimum of necessities to survive, I'll be a happy camper. I can't though. We need money to survive. We can always go to the woods and survive like the primal beasts we are, but that's not exactly what I want or mean. Fuck jobs in general. Any type, even those that would I would supposedly love doing based on interests.

Well, I'm assuming this is a relevant avenue to express some wound up feelings and receive some opinions and criticism, so here it goes:

I'm 22, I work full-time and attend college part-time. I have been doing this since 18 and I have learned (what I think is) a lot along the way about my perception of life, myself, etc. I've always considered work and education as core values I'd like to invest my time and effort into, to achieve self-gratification and respect for myself, and perhaps indirectly from others. I'm studying MIS and I work for a grocery store with decent benefits (401k, tuition reimbursement, stock, $14.30/hr). I work hard, set the example and I'm tired of it. Tired of all the ridiculousness and politics of it all (to be general).

I never really identified that "thing" that I wanted in life, or wanted to do, but as I start to think more about where I am now, I feel though sometimes as if my time is wasted. I have a few hobbies (motorcycling, gaming, the gym) which I greatly enjoy and am never stressed or upset when partaking in. If there was something I wanted in life, it would be just to relax, enjoy my youth while I have it. The more and more I work though and notice how incompetent and lazy people are, the more I hate the idea of a "job". It extends into management too, as they seem to not have any concern towards those who pride on a job well done, such as myself. I know this extends into actual degree-required careers too, as people don't change, but the game does. I have been thinking more about avoiding the inevitable:

>Degree, Career, Work 30+, Retire.

I've been looking a lot in to the topic personal businesses, investing, entrepreneurial type ventures, self-made situations. In general, just breaking free of this "9-5 stigma" and the safe, common route through life. Who else shares this kind of thinking? Are there any books, articles, etc. you could refer to me on the subject? There has to be more than 30+ years of unhappiness.

I also understand that we all have different views on the subject and some may see this sort of thinking as unrealistic.
I am in no way bashing careers and comfortable living, just elaborating on the thought of extending beyond my average way of thinking for the past 5 years.

>>17768255
Running your own business, especially when starting up, is going to mean a LOT more work than a 9-5 job.
