Im not sure what I want to do. I went through college and got a worthless degree in 2012. I wasted the last few years after a bad mental crash and haven't really worked much besides a temp office admin job that is due to end in a month. I also started up college again for a second bachelors.
Well I'm finding out I'm too stupid to try to stem, and with my office job ending soon I'm trying to decide what to do come January. I can drop school and look for another job, and hope that my long absence can be over looked and hope to push the idea that i was employees recently at least and will be let go under favorable status (business is closing).
Or I found out I can do an even more worthless degree than my original, but I've got enough credits from my original degree I can get another one by the end of summer. This way I can push the idea that I went back to school to show I'm serious about getting back in the work force?
>>17715266
What degree did you get back in 2012?
>>17715276
International business. But I didn't do an internship nor did I have real job experience beside fast food and convenience stores
>>17715277
If you're in Singapore, it would probably be a decent degree.
How do you know when you're "trying too hard" to be funny?
>>17715259
If you're making an effort to be funny, it'll sound forced and fake. Humor just flows through a conversation pretty naturally.
>>17715259
When nobody laughs.

This.
I want to break up with my girlfriend. Not because I don't love her anymore, but because its too much pressure. I'm constantly thinking about her. I'm constantly worried I'm fucking this up. She's too good for me. Once she finds out about all my insecurities she's going to grow tired of them and leave me. She's already way too busy with college, I can't add in dealing someone with insecurities. The more I'm with her the more the insecurities become apparent. I want the best for her and I feel like I'm bringing her down. She has friends, good grades, and a loving family. I have none of that. I was perpetually single and almost killed myself over it but it seems I can't handle the relationship life either. There's no light at the end of this tunnel. Everything will just lead to misery.
You're not used to feeling life as cool that's why you're fucking yourself up like this, you still don't believe that you deserve good things even though they're your girlfriend
That's really nice of you to think about her this way but imo it's just a way to turn yourself down without having to be truly authentic about all your little insecurities, maybe you think she won't like you anymore or whatnot, but you can't lie to her if you feel this way, and you have to realize that you're getting it way out of proportion by overfeeding your fantasies
Life is cool if when you let go of all the mental bullshit
It will with that attitude.
>>17715248
>You're not used to feeling life as cool that's why you're fucking yourself up like this, you still don't believe that you deserve good things even though they're your girlfriend
You're right. It doesn't seem right that things can be this good. I'm used to being let down and disappointed, or settling for "just okay"
I don't really know how to change my attitude about this. When I'm sitting on my computer it all makes sense and I know it's all in my head but when I'm out there in real life nothing feels comfortable.
>>17715255
I know. This relationship is doomed and it's all going to be my fault.
There seems to be three categories of people:
>FACE/HEIGHT/FRAME/MONEY... NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!
>It is possible to study social dynamics, and develop the art of picking up women based as a skill set. Looks are less relevant
>a combination of these two. Looks should be optimized and is of equal importance to your social skills.
I just got out of a relationship, and I'm feeling rusty as all hell with women. Within one year I feel like my sex appeal has completely vanished. I'm looking to really get back into the game, and was wondering which of you guys are very successful with women, and what your take is on seduction, as well as which category you place yourself in. PUA is a meme on here, but is there no legitimate authors and coaches that have valuable insight to pick from?
[NO ROASTIES ALLOWED, FELLAS ONLY]
>>17715213
I wouldn't say i'm an expert, but here's my advice for what it's worth.
Meet people with an open mind. If you think of yourself as good/bad looking force yourself to shoot both below and above what you think your league is. In my opinion the best game is your wit; flirt, but not to feel sly. I don't much believe in PUA but try reading "The Game" by Neil Strauss if a couple of tricks/pointers help you feel more confident.
>>17715213
Number two is the best strategy but it takes a lot of time and effort to optimize anything.
Ask yourself how much you need it and how much you are willing to sacrifice. Personally I am not the type to give my all for women and if one doesn't like me then whatever, there'll always be others.
OWEN fucking COOK
Just, listen to owen dude
AND GO OUT AND PRACTICE
Hey, I have been at uni for just over a month and I am having some issues meeting fun people. My flat is full of anti social people, so I mostly go out to societies to meet people. I go to Republicans and Debating. The thing is, while I like these people, they aren't really that cool. Many are autists and are otherwise not all that fun to drink with. I don't want to go to a sports society since my physique is shit and I am working on it through knowledge walks and strict diet control.
How do I meet cool people who can drink?
>>17715209
Push the aspies to go for beers a little bit more, even if they aren't boring they probably have cool friends. the mutual friends channel doesn't require too much effort
>>17715217
I've tried that a bit with mixed results. The thing is that they're usually fine when it comes to politics but they make me cringe otherwise.
I'd like to find some friends to just relax with and party with.
>>17715222
push your flatmates to go out for beers.
I need to break my forearm. What methods can I use to insure quickest recovery, but it needs to be bad enough so that I can get out of exams. So, whats some advice on methods I can use and how to insure quicker recovery?
Breaking your arm won't get you out of your exams you fucking retard.
High Schools and Universities have student disability services and they will force you to take the exam with a writing aide to remedy for the fact that you broke your arm.
>>17715161
Make a first put you thumb in the fist and slam it down super hard, this will break the tendon it will heal faster and you still will miss eams
Fuckin CHRIST dude don't do that.
Alternative: Call 911 and say you want to kill yourself. Spend 3-4 days in inpatient ward.
Guaranteed to get you out of exams with out penalties. Probably give you a week or so extra after you get out too.
I have never posted here before, but I am majorly in need of advice, I am 18, and I am planning on going into a career of criminal investigation, most likely as a homicide detective. However when I was 15 I sent myself to the mental hospital on 3 seperate occasions claming self harm/suicidal thoughts to escape my parents home due to the nature of my life living there. My question is once I am done with college (around age 26 due to the degree I want) will I be disqualified to join the Police? I have a reasonable explanation as to why I was hospitalized, so do I have any chance? Should I not bring it up and hope the records are gone after that amount of time? Please help me /adv/
Please also note, I was able to qualify for the army, I just didn't give them access to my medical records, I even qualified for jobs requiring Secret Clearance but decided against joining.
>>17715155
self-bump
>>17715155
Idk but from my experience all that information should be private unless you allowed others (parents) to be able to obtain that information if they wanted it. Not sure if it varies by state but inpatient hospital records can't be released unless you allow permission. Check your HIPA rights
>>17715193
so if I tried to become a detective, they cant see those records? and what about the polygraph test?
I applied to join the army but failed the medical on the grounds that I take anti depressants, I was told that I will need to wait at least 4 years after stopping them before I am allowed to reapply. This was despite the fact that I have had no suicidal tendencies for at least 3 years. I feel really ashamed of myself since it was genuinely something I was really wanting to do to improve myself, learn useful skills, gain confidence, have people respect me. Since I have aspergers syndrome my life I felt that this would balance out alot of the shit I was predetermined with. I feel really emasculated and weak like I am less than other people. I also feel pretty pathetic when I see in other countries guys (and even worse girls) my age are conscripted and learn military skills and feel really envious, since that is what I dream of doing and they are just given it to them. I have a degree in international politics and I wanted to join a military intel corp to put my skills to use, but now I will have to settle for some really feminine job like a journalist or bureaucrat.
I don't really know what to do if I should keep trying I just feel like a complete piece of shit
Former Airman here. Don't let medical shit get you down. The fact is that, in your state, you wouldn't be effective. The military taking you in assumes a lot of liability taking you in (this coming from a guy who, third year into his contract, was discharged on grounds of an ODPMC).
If the military is something you feel you have to do, you have to overcome your personal issues or they'll not only follow you into the military, but they'll bloat under the stress of your environment, especially with the MOS you want and especially during Basic, where they're trying to cull you guys out. It would be even worse if you had an ELS because you weren't cut out, and then you'd be dealing with depression and the humiliation of failing to accomplish your dreams without another chance of reenlisting.
Trust me, this is for the best. Your heart is in the right place.
Have you considered not feeling that way?
>>17715160
But I actually don't feel like it would hold me back it is something I really want. I only have depression because of having aspergers. I am trying to quit antidepressants and reapply in a few years. Its just such bullshit I thought it was meant to help people by putting them in those conditions
I miss the days when I didn't have a job.
Whenever I have free time I just waste it on browsing 4chan and not on other fun things like my hobbies because I'm too tired and anxious to think of anything else and I don't find enjoyment in the things I loved to do.
Anyone else can relate?
Penis dick balls
>>17715076
no, we're all unemployed losers. the grass is always greener, yeah? i'm sure you'd love your free time for a while, but then you'd probably fall into a different sort of rut, if that's the sort of person you are.
but i've certainly related to you in the past, and i'm dreading getting a full time job again. i've worked hard and scraped so long (read: been born rich and drank my way through three attempts at college) that I'm about to be making 60k a year, eventually 80k or more. So my plan is to not work all that long. I won't have children, I'll just buy a tiny house, save up some money the guvment don't know about, and follow my true ambitions.
If i don't have the willpower to do that, I'll be a drunk and not hold down jobs for very long, and desperately try to start my own business (which is fairly realistic in my line of work).

Thanks normies! I had a massive breakdown today, I haven't been sleeping, only eating 2 small meals a day. Depression flared up and hit hard. Hoping I'll be fine and land on my feet but fuck this shit. I tried my hardest and I still failed.
"jobs" anymore pay shit all. My undiagnosed (2poor4doctors) ass burgers are just bad enough to prevent me from ever making it and not bad enough to get neetbux for. It's a special kind of hell, like god came and crafted this endless suffering just for me. I can't even rely on family and don't have friends.
When I take a deep breath and hold down on my bottom rib it pops, anyone know what this means? Google was no help
>>17715069
Why are you holding your rib down, the fuck is wrong with you.
>>17715211
No just my hand was on my rib and it started popping
>>17715069
My sister has an extra rib, google that. Maybe you have an extra rib too.
I want another fucking girlfriend. I miss holding girls hands, hugging, having sex. Mostly sex I'm sick of emotional discussions about our feelings for each other, just want sex
I'm not that great looking, is it worth just throwing a pic up on some dating app and hoping to get lucky? Or do I have zero chance unless I'm a buff guy?
>>17715042
(I am a girl btw) no you don't need to be buff. A lot of girls don't only date big guys. Also you need to make sure your not going for girls or of your league. Of course a hot 20 year old who gets hit on all the time by guys her age won't go for someone she meets online. Find a sweet girl who you think is attractive and likes talking to you and will make you happy
>>17715049
Thanks for the advice "girl"
It seems like everyone on OKC is either way out of my league or ugly as fuck
Fuck this
OKC worked for me sometimes. it was fucking annoying and took some work and experimentation, but thus is life.
Honestly if I was trying to get laid now that I'm a grown up, I'd crawl the bars. That's what they're for.
So basically this guy keeps messaging my girlfriend and saying he is going to fuck/rape her. She has blocked him on multiple fake accounts but this is the most recent. I am just wondering if one of you guys can somehow get his IP address and maybe phone numbers for me. This is not his real name, he has used multiple aliases and every time I message and tell him to man up, he tells me I am a pussy and to fuck off. It is getting really old, and chan is my last resort. Someone please just help me out, so I can confront this pussy. His most recent fake account just used to message my gf today is this: /johnny.teague.148 facebook
file a police report
not your personal army
>>17715043
But I dont want to deal with it legally. I bet if we do this fuck will get off easy. I want to really punish him
>>17715031
I'm a tad drunk so take what I say with a grain of salt, but why don't you have your gf pretend to be into it, honeytrap the fucker, and break every bone in his body with a baseball bat?
I'm aiming to photoshop the date of a medical note I got in the past to get out of an exam that I'm not prepared for.
What are the odds of getting caught with forgery?
If the edit is done really well, what could the teacher do to get suspicious and prosecute me, save hire a forensic analyst (which would never happen.)
>>17715022
Your thinking too much just do a good job they won't go snooping they will shrug it off
>>17715026
Yeah and I'ts literally a super minor detail of the note to change (on number). Just wondering if there are horror stories of professors catching a student
imagine if you had just put this amount of effort into your schoolwork instead
I'm 27. I have a problem, and I don't think I can stop. I can stop eating. I always over eat, I eat whenever things go bad, I eat whenever they go well or neutral, and I eat just because. I stopped keeping food in my apartment because I would just eat it all, but then I always get stuff when I go out.
The real kicker is that I know I should care, but I don't. I hate everything about myself and don't see a reason why I should care about it. The one time I managed to lose weight, down like 60lbs, I was just miserable as before. It wasn't even a crazy crash diet. I just tracked what I ate, and ate less. Everyone commented on how good I looked or how much weight I had lost, but I could only feel despair when I looked at myself. Why bother at that point?
>>17714978
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I've never understood overweight people. When I get depressed I get angry and snap at people, sometimes I get too drunk and beat the shit out of random objects outside, but I never really want to eat that bad.
I say that to explain a possibility of why you aren't getting responses, it's very difficult for me to map any of my experiences on to your problem. But I'll take a stab.
Hows your sex drive? Do you get laid? If you not, and if you got in shape, do you think you could get laid then? I say this because, for me, sex and love basically turns me into a deterministic gear. I'm a hopeless romantic sort, and I've come to terms with that. My libido has always kept me from getting out of shape.
>>17714978
If you don't love yourself, make others love you.
In other words, try to see yourself from the eyes of another person or just another point of view. What do they see when they look at you ? What do they feel ? And then what do you feel when you think about it. To the worst, ask them. You might be surprised.
This comes from somebody who, whenever sees himself in the mirror and doesn't recognize himself, finds himself ugly.
>>17715216
>Please don't take this the wrong way, but I've never understood overweight people. When I get depressed I get angry and snap at people, sometimes I get too drunk and beat the shit out of random objects outside, but I never really want to eat that bad.
If a thing has never happened to you, you wouldn't be able to understand it. Instead of punching a wall, I eat. Instead of drinking, I eat. Instead of yelling at people, I eat. It's not even enjoyable. It makes me feel like shit, and I still do it anyway.

It exists I suppose, but I don't get laid. I'm a total khv who's never been on a date, and I honestly don't believe being in shape would change that. Believe it or not, I'm not a total blob. My job is very physically demanding. I'm fat, yes, but it sits well.
>>17715243
I do think like that. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be with me. The thought that someone might be interested in me disgusts me.
I, too, hate seeing myself. I hate everything about me.
Look at my belly
1 I'm not pregnant
2 I don't eat for two days (in the hope it would be good but it is not eitherĀ£

Are you talking about the bump below your bra because I thought that was your ribs, other than that I see nothing
