How do you talk to someone who places their entire value on how much money they make? Especially when they are going through financial hard times and have zero self-esteem and a bitter inferiority complex?

How do you help someone who just sees it as pity (and doesn't want it) when you just care about them and want to help them because when you were going through hard times people were there for you?

How the fuck do you reason with that?

I don't really understand what you are trying to say. I don't think it's logical that your value is in how much money you make. People put value in lots of things. I also don't think it's common sense to just completely melt down because you're broke. It's far more logical to take advantage of the kindnesses shown you, especially when people want to help you because they care about you.

1. Making money is very important.
2. if you want to help, help them find a job. Can't? You can't help.
3. Your "emotional support" is only relevant if they respect you and don't view you as useless trash.

>Leave, devastating her. I turned her world upside down. I tried my best not to feel. I didn't show much emotion after I made the decision. I cried while she wasn't there. honestly thought it was best for both of us. I couldn't be the man she wanted/deserved, she wasn't hearing this.
A yearish later...
>Found a way to hit her up cause I was in town for family. She agrees, we have wonderful sex, we hang out for a little while. I don't remember the conversations.
>We meet up again a few months later, she has a bf. I try to get in the pants anyways. She isn't having it.
Last words I said to her was that I always had a thing for her mom. I believe I was drunk at that moment, and regret it to this day.

>Woke up, worked like a broken robot, now I'm home.
Thank you for sticking around for the question..
I desperately want to tell her I'm sorry for everything. I don't want to fuck her and I don't want to ruin her marriage. I want to approach as a friend.
Am I retarded? Should I just accept that guilt is the consequence of my stupidity?
Or..
Email her best friend, hoping to get contact info.
Or drive few hours to drop off letter at her parents house and hope they don't burn it. What do?

Leave her alone, you fucking idiot. It's over. She doesn't want to see you and you know it. The game is over, so find another woman to focus on.

Don't talk to her. You realize that she's married and happy right? You said breaking up with her would be best for both of you. It was for her. Be happy for her. You let her go, good for doing that.

well, if you resort to just condescending to people and immediately invalidating anything people say that you don't agree with and calling people racists and assholes when they aren't then you're gonna help destroy your cause. just saying. it's why trump was elected. even I am getting tired of being told I'm a racist just for being white, a misogynist just for being male, and homophobic just because I'm straight.

Me and my Mom have a long history of not liking each other.

About 5 years back, I had a stroke, or a nervous breakdown, or something, and confided in her that it was difficult to think. She said : "Oh, so you try and try, but you just..can't..do it.", with a snarky smile. My Dad was standing there, and he commented that it was no wonder why I hated her. I was extremely upset and went to my room, and she slid in there and apologized with this shit-eating grin. I was so upset and so mentally fucked I couldn't even defend myself. It seemed as if she thoroughly enjoyed making me upset.

There's a few more examples of things shes said or done to me that has mentally scarred me. In my heart of hearts, I really don't think she's what I would personally call a good person. She's unapologetically narcissistic, uncaring of others feelings, and a complete hypocrite. Not to mention perpetually emotionally abusive to all of her children since birth. She was beaten by her father mercilessly and now she's a sick, internally blind, shell of a person.

I guess I just wanted to vent. I've always felt like that was a really, really fucked up thing to say to someone. Just that alone, too. And considering some of the other things shes done to me, I don't know if I want her involved in my life whatsoever anymore.

Wouldn't let me post this part because it made the post too long:

So, some backstory to why she acted like that: I was a pretty severe drug addict for a couple of years. I fell into a deep depression, discovered meth, and didn't look back. At the height of my addiction, I was "living in sin" with my girlfriend and got in this huge fight with my mom. Long story short, I had to come over to pick up a few things, and she was giving me shit, and I called her a bitch, and she layed into me ("piece of shit", punching me in the face, etc), then I started throwing things, and then I punched a mirror and had to get stitches. She also threw out the back of her ankle from laying into me, but still managed to cross the room to throw my computer on the floor. I think she largely fakes ailments for whatever it is she'll gain in the moment.

plz go eat a bag of nigger dicks

Would I be an idiot to look for work at my local grocery store as a college graduate?

I've been considering this for a few months now. Basically I'm a 26 year old guy with a game development degree from a pretty good university. After graduating I managed to get a job at a computer repair shop that doubles as a retail store. $14.60/hr, no benefits.

The work itself is interesting at times, but there are also aspects of it that I don't love. I don't love that I have to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. I don't love that I've never had a vacation because 'the timing isn't right' despite the fact that coworkers and managers go on vacations all the time. At one point I was 'given' a five day vacation by upper management because I asked for one, but my supervisor made me work three of the five days anyway under threat of termination if I didn't come in. I do love my coworkers and I do love that occasionally (3-4 times a month) I get to work on a really engaging repair.

Recently a position stocking shelves in our local grocery store has opened up. I assume it's going to be around $11/hr because that's the minimum wage here, but the position offers 100% health, dental, and vision coverage, plus reimbursement for fitness classes, gym memberships, and generous discounts for food purchased at the store. It also offers three weeks paid vacation right off the bat and 6% 401k matching after three months of work, and it's a union job.

I worry about taking a pay cut, and I also worry about the stigma of going from something relevant to my degree to literally stocking shelves at a grocery store, because I've always been told these were the kinds of jobs I was trying to avoid by going to college.

What would you suggest?

Do you honestly think any of that is going to be different at a supermarket? I think you'd have to be stupid to downgrade, but then again, you studied game development as a degree, so you're obviously not the most intelligent person anyway
>>
>>17763848
I would assume any job that tells you you have three weeks of paid time off will make good on that.

Regarding the "you chose the wrong program", I know there's a lot of that going around on this board. Many people on 4chan think engineering and CS is the only worthwhile degree, but how worthwhile is it if you don't want to be an engineer or a software developer? I'd personally rather be a librarian or some kind of community organizer for the town.
>>
>>17763867
I've never really understood this mentality. If you want to be a zookeeper or a whale biologist or a spanish teacher it's not like that engineering degree is actually going to do anything for you.

Realistically speaking, is it possible for two people to get back after a not really rough breakup? Considering there are some feelings left and the time spent together was totally amazing.

Not likely but it can be done. I think only by people with a degree or already doing some trade. You might be able to jump into construction for that kind of pay

semi difficult, even educated people are struggling to find good jobs.

if it were easy wouldn't every 20 year old with no college degree be doing it?

>Taking three classes this semester that are all considered quite difficult while working full time
>Managerial accounting, microecon (has an incredibly low pass rate at my uni), and applied stats
>These classes have super fucked schedules and I end up taking a test every week
>Leaves me scrambling to prepare for a test every week, while half assing my other classes homework as quickly as possible to allow for more exam practice time
>This has been repeating all semester long
>I'm up to like 2-3 AM most nights studying/doing homework, and have to be up at 6 for actual work
>Done this every night the entire semester

2 of the classes I have a D in, because even though I did relatively fine on the exams, the literal mountains of homework are really starting to weigh me down. However, despite missing a chunk of homework my accounting score is pretty high, because I've nearly aced all the tests so far.

I'm starting to get super fucking burned out, to the point where I'll get incredibly frustrated while studying. Doing this while working has me wondering if trade school would be more my thing.

So what do if you're at the breaking point with University, and are just about ready to throw your hands up and walk away from it? I've basically been led to believe, if I don't get a good degree I'm fucked, so I've been torturing myself with this shit while working full time.

Can you take fewer hours at work? Do you NEED to work?

Pretty much, yeah. I can't afford to not work right now. But I also can't afford to fail classes and have to retake them.

Well you can't do both. Personally, I think education is more important, but if you can't not work, then perhaps you can drop one of the classes

This might be stupid for you all and you can tell me that other people has real problems, but I do have real problems and also have this one, and this one is killing me...

I met a girl, she has boyfriend but we liked each other, we acted like a couple for about three weeks and now she dont want it anymore, she abandoned me me bit by bit, day by day until she doesnt talk to me anymore, I asked her why and she said she is too busy for this.. I tell her that it was ok that I understand, that we can see each other at leas 5 minutos a day and she said no, that she cant... I she dont want to betray her boyfriend anymore... I said I understad, again, but I dont, I miss her, I it hurts me so mucho... And it seems too easy for her not talking to me anymore but I can barely handle no talking to her.

I'm going through something similar right now. But I'm the one that decided I need to stop talking to her. For my situation I just realized she was manipulative and wants approval, I think you need to realize that too. In a way I wanted that approval as well, so I wanted to keep talking to her. I missed her so much as well and still do. But it's getting better because I'm out her life now and she's out of mine. Realize that you don't really miss her, but the idea of her. You want someone to talk to and act like a couple.

My advice would be to ghost her, just delete her off everything and get her out of your life as fast as possible. It's hard as fuck to do, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier. Tell yourself is there really a point tot keep communicating with her? She isn't gonna come crawling back and dump her boyfriend for you, this isn't a fairytale. The reality is she was using you for her own emotional gain. Go out there and talk to other people or old friends. If you could talk to this girl just tell yourself you can talk to another one as well.

Outta sight outta mind my friend. Good luck

>>17763948
We are in the same University, We are in the same career... She is in First year and I am in Third year, we dont see clases together but we always cross in cafeteria or in the library... And looking at her and saying hello, just like that, like if anything ever happened... Man... Its like fire inside me, how that hurts.
>>
>>17764064
Well as you said you aren't in the same classes as her, and i'm sure you can find other places to go that aren't the cafeteria or library. Distance yourself from her as much as you can. And even if you do see her act like nothing has happened and you are happy in your life, last thing you want is for her to see how miserable she is making you, and how she still has control over you.

So I am decently good looking i'd say, im not hot but im not ugly either but its fucking with me really hard. I am being way too picky with girls to the point of im 22 and a virgin still because the only girls who show interest are fatter uglier girls I have no interest in. There is one girl I fell for in my friend group but she is way outta my league and its fucking with me really hard. Its twisting how I look at other girls and compare them to her. I have oneitis I suppose but I need a way to lower my expectations with girls. I have no issue talking with girls but keeping a conversation going is my issue if they don't show interest and im doing all the talking, which the girls i've chased do exactly that. How can I lower my standards, I don't want any overweight girls or black girls those are my two big things.

I agree with another anon, workout if you want a high tier woman

You're less attractive than you think and this applies to all people

Im a white gay dude, and im super attracted to asian guys. The chances of me finding, say, a white guy attractive are probably ~5%, whereas for asians its more like 50%.

1) Does this make me racist?

And perhaps more importantly:

2) Will other people perceive me as a racist?

I understand that many people dont like being 'fetishized' because of their race, and while I dont think thats what im doing, im not 100% sure. i dont want to offend anyone, but i cant help who im attracted to. Asians are just my "type" i think.

How am I supposed to break up with an Internet "girlfriend"?

There's a girl in a foreign country who is obsessed with me...I lost interest a long time (months) ago, but I still talk with her and tell her I love her because I don't want her to be sad and I'm afraid of confrontation.

Even today I told her I love her and in my head I was thinking "Jesus Christ this is pathetic."

How should I end this? I know it's as easy as blocking her, but I'd like to make it clear this should be final and such.

I wouldn't just ghost her and leave her hanging. Just give her the same old "I'm not ready for a relationship" or "It's not you it's me" crap. It doesn't really matter what you say, just so you let her know it's final.
