I will have $1400 a month for the rest of my life. I am a single average male. I have a paid for car. Suggestions for how to live???
>>17709878
>Move to Eastern Europe
>Live like a fucking King
I could live off $1400 a year in Nepal comfy eating at restaurants every day. Seriously save up and move country dude.
Should I get roommate? Man or woman? I would rather not.
Im not gay but the tought of having sex with another male is kinda hot. Of course without all the gay stuff like love, cuddling, relationship and kissing. Just sex.
I already had females doing stuff with my backdoor ant it feels like really good. I also have straight sex with females and its noice but on a different level.
What to do?
>>17709872
A. accept the fact that you're bi
B. do whatever you want 'cuz everyone and their sexual fetishes/attraction
>>17709872
Free your mind.
Any gender will do.
Guys are okay.
Girls are too.
OP, just be bisexual
Tl; dr FAGGOT
straight guy here who is exclusively attracted to the opposite sex
anal sex feels awesome. it's not the sensation of getting fucked, it's just having a hard object to squeeze on.

>>17709873
I was actually able to get out of being a NEET through these threads. Sadly there is just a circle jerk most of the time.
On top of that I'm not much happier. There's a lot more trouble for the majority of us than just not having cash. Now I just spend more money eating out at different restaurants and games I don't play.
Of course that's helped clear up some of the social anxiety though so that's nice I guess. Probably a little bit better when it comes to that then I was in high school.

Gratz for escaping neetdom. Real human bean. I bet there's a cartoon porn gold mine on your discord though.
/adv/ help a guy out pls
So you see I've been texting this girl I go to uni with for weeks now and we used to chat like 4 hours straight everyday. Because of my stupidity, though, I texted her that I actually have a crush on her when I got drunk a few days ago. (I know, bad move)
Normally, most girls I've talked to before would shy away and straight up ignore me when I tell them I was interested in them in more than being friends, but she instead continued to talk to me through text, like asking me about why I continue getting drunk/ concerned about my wellbeing, asking me if I had problems we could talk about etc, so I was surprised she wasn't awkward about it.
So, anyways, we met up yesterday irl after class and we talked about shit and the conversation sorta moved to dating. I told her I was gonna go on a date with a girl (requirement for class), and I told her that she was more beautiful than the girl I'm gonna got to the date with. I then told her that since I don't have much experience with girls (robot all my life), I didn't know what to do on a date. She told me that I just needed to experiment on more girls on more dates to get more confidence. I told her, like who? I don't know any other girls?
Then she told me, maybe some of your classmates or someone sitting next to you? (she was sitting next to me at the time obviously) so I took the chance and said, so can I go on a date with you? of these she just laughed because she seemed busy but she didn't straight up say no. All the while she was being touchy and kept putting her hand on my thigh and arm (?? What does that mean) like hitting me lightly when she laughed.
Long story short, we parted ways because she had to go somewhere, and now I don't know how to follow that up. I haven't texted her since yesterday
BTw, she didn't say anything directly telling me she was interested in me too, so Im not too sure what's she trying to do. Wat do?
(sorry for bad English, not first language)
She's not interested by the sounds of things.
I want to say no. Girls like touching stuff so thats no indicator
>>17709847
definitely.
Don't hit on her again. You don't want to be "that guy"
how do they get girls to kiss them?
money?
they're probably just friends or friends of friends.
>>17709757
just need to be non white immigrant
Kissing someone is very much hyped up by anyone who haven't kissed that many people, if anybody.
It really isn't that big of a deal.
Is there a word in the English language that means "not figuratively" WITHOUT ALSO MEANING "figuratively"?
Yes, I understand that a word can have more than one meaning, and that is a problem, because it's impossible to guess which meaning is being used at any given moment.
Imagine if the word "left" meant "right" while also meaning "left".
>Which way do I turn at this intersection?
>Turn left.
>You mean left?
>Yes, left.
>But not not left.
>Of course. Just left.
>*turns left*
>What are you doing!! I told you to turn the other way!
>You said left!
>When I said left I meant left!
>That's what I did!
>That's left, not left!
>What left?
>The other left!
Not the way you want, no.
You can use the words, "in the literal sense" which makes it clear that you mean "literally" without falling into the trap which that word now poses, as it is currently popular to use the word "literally" just for emphasis.
Language is messy. Many times a speaker of one language will ask what the word for something is in another language, and be shocked that none exists. The words inept and insomnia have no counterparts in English. Ept and somnia make rational sense, but don't exist as words in English. In other languages, they sometimes do.
It's understandable to want language to be precise; you want to be understood! But language is always imprecise to some degree. It is something we must live with.
>>17709806
Then how can you justify the word "literally" meaning both "figuratively" and "not figuratively" by saying "language changes, deal with it", as if nothing of value was lost?
We used to have a word that meant "not figuratively" without also meaning "figuratively", and now we don't, so we can't express that concept anymore in English, because every time we say "literally" it also means the opposite of what we mean to say.
This change objectively took something away from the language.
>>17709756
In an old Charlie Chan movie Number Three Son and the driver have a comic routine over whether one said "No, You turn here" or "No U-Turn here."
In the one full-length Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz movie he's driving and she's map reading and she suddenly shouts "Turn right here!" He does, and she says "You didn't let me finish. I was saying Turn right here to the left."
I woke up one day, and I suddenly felt almost no emotion. First, I realized that I suddenly felt no infatuation towards my girlfriend anymore. On top of that, I realized that I felt no sexual desire either. Confused, I tried to imagine how I would feel if my entire family died in a car crash. I felt nothing. I suddenly stopped taking an interest in my friends' lives. I am not happy, or sad. I am just empty. When my mother says "I love you", the only reason I say "I love you, too" is because in the past I actually meant it.
It has been a week now, and this is worse than times wherein I was seriously depressed. I'd rather feel a deep, longing sadness than this current lack of emotion. It is maddening.
I'm 18 years old. Is this emotional detachment a normal part of puberty? Is it just temporary? Or does it sound like some sort of mental illness?
Please help. This is horrible.
>>17709734
Your gf poisoned you
>>17709734
Have you stopped taking or reduced the dose of any other prescription medication or recreational drug?
>>17709746
Not at all. I do take Adderall XR since I have ADHD, but I haven't done anything different with it.
I have ADHD and OCD. And depression runs in my family, but I do not think I have it. My father and uncle both have Narcissistic personality.
I am almost 23 and for all of my uni years I was unsuccessful with men.
I try to dress well, go out a lot (uni, student organisations, parties, etc), initiate conversation with people- all that with no success.
I really feel my time to find someone decent shrinks, especially since I dont see myself suddenly getting men interested in me, if they havent been for those years.
What can I do about my situation?
>>17709728
post a pic, let's see what you can improve physically first, because that's clearly the issue.
>>17709728
Ask yourself why it's so hard to find someone.
Not being so attractive is not an excuse. Ugly people fuck too. Maybe you are too clingly, too nerdy, too rude, too needy, etc.
So self reflection helps here a lot.
>>17709729
I posted on soc before and got between 6-8 rates, would rather keep posting face on soc only.
I am not fat though since thats usually first question (quite skinny) and wear glasses.
opinion time: family edition
okay so me (19) and my older sister (24) just got into a fight. he just came home at around 3 am and started to try and wake me up off the couch to sleep there, telling me to go sleep with my mom in her bed. I don't respond after she shakes me, threatens to pour water on me and screams in my ear to wake me. do she's pissed. then he proceeds to throw the blankets off me and pillow. we play tug of war with the blanket and I let go and ask her why she feels entitled to the couch. she mocks me. then my mom and aunt wake up and tell me to get up and sleep in my moms room which I don't cause my sister can, I was already sleeping. she tries getting me up for like 20 minutes until she leaves.
me and my family are in a tough spot right now and are staying in a two bed room. there's four of us.
info:
2 bedroom
I sometimes sleep in my moms room but didn't cause I don't feel comfortable there.
she says I should move cause I sweat, I sleep in the other room sometimes and have athletes foot. I paid rent this month, she didn't. she's going to help pay rent next month though.
take turns, make a roster.
Or move out.
(you fucking idiot)
what should I have done?
she left after that to go sleep somewhere else and started to mention how we wouldn't be able to pay rent without her and all cause we all need each other rn
I just finished crying
>>17709718
I can't move out I'm helping my mom and aunt pay their crippling bills.
why?
>>17709704
hot shower when my mental state is weak
cold shower when it's strong
not kidding
>>17709704
Cold when the room temp is too high/sweating
Warm when it's low/just got out of bed
Cold Showers my man. Better than coffee to wake up, helps your metabolism and recovery (eg after sport), may help with depression, reduces stress on your body.

Ease into it, start with a hot shower and a cold end and increase time. You'll get used to it fast
>I was her first serious relationship (all her past ones were just little 1-2 week things, we spent 6 months together and before me she was single for a year)
>We done everything, we were really close, opened up to each other about a lot of things
>I was her first kiss, and first everything else
>Always done cute shit for her, treated her really good
Just to note: There was definitely no other guy or cheating or anything like that.
So anyway after having the best relationship she ends it out of nowhere. Giving me one vague excuse after another and how she has to move on. For 2 days we spoke, and I tried to find the reason, tell her how important she is to me etc, but to no avail.
Then I left it for 2 weeks, and started talking again. During that time her sister tells me she was talking to one guy last week, then another a few days later and this week its another, which isn't like her at all. So I message her, and we're talking. But she's just being so cold and talking to me as if I was never the best boyfriend she had. She's telling me shes moved on, and acting like 2 weeks later its too late to fix anything, and shes saying she can do what she wants etc. I tell her how special she is to me and why is she being like that, she tells me to don't play that game I'm going asleep (but we still talk / argue for the next half hour). Saying she doesn't care about us anymore.
I'm just so confused and hurt she's acting like I cheated on her or something. I never done anything except treat her good, we been through thick and thin together, always affectionate to each other all that jazz and from that, to this??
>>17709670
Relationships end. Finding out why and being happy with the reasons won't change the fact that its over.
Its over. Thats it. Move on.
>>17709673
It just doesn't feel right you know. I've had this in the past and it's sorta like what you said, okay whatever its over. With her I feel she is scared to get close or something, because her past relationships she wasn't treated very good, same with her dad who she no longer sees, and for the first time she has a guy who treats her right and it's like shes trying to push me away.
>>17709705
She has pushed you away. Get over it.
My gf has borderline personality disorder. I love her very much but recently she's become very distant from me. I know she has a second phone, she doesn't know I know, and has been texting another guy quite a lot.
She doesn't ask me to do things with her anymore and hardly acknowledges by existence.
I'm afraid I'm about to be discarded.
(Borderlines idealize, devalue and then discard people they were once close to)
What do I do?
>>17709640
>What do I do?
Break up. In the future, try not to date psychotic cheaters.
Realize personality disorders are a spook. That is to say, they have no neurological basis, and are a collection of behaviors. They don't exist.
Oh, she was diagnosed officially? Doesn't matter, they don't exist. Don't be spooked.
She's untrustworthy. If you can't exert your control over her, she isn't yours and you're wasting your time thinking about her desu

Interesting. Where did you get your degree in clinical psychology?
How to convince my parent to get my a manual transmission car?

"They are cheaper in the long run as they require less maintenance/fuck out less often than automatic transmission."
Google it.
do you know how to drive one?
I need to vent a little, mate.
I've always felt a little off, different from others like I can't really connect with anyone. Whenever something happens within my circle of friends, I'm barely on the side, I'm never invited to anything and it just feels awkward.
I just feel depressed and down today and I've been laying in bed thinking about what the fuck am I doing and why it's all happening. I overheard yesterday that my ex went to her ex's house to "watch a movie"... It nearly killed me there and then.
I don't know why can't I make friends or at least maintain friendships/relationships, or why can't I connect with people as easily as others. I've entered this circle of friends along with another guy and I'm on the side of things, I don't belong at all while this other guy got into a relationship and is constantly in the middle of things, always getting invited to events and stuff.
And I'm not jealous, this has been an issue of mime for as long as I can remember. I honestly can't connect with people at all.
What can I do? I have a job, I have a car, I lift, I'm a smart guy, I'm not ugly.... There's just something that's off about me, like I'm on another frequency than others.
>inb4 these are not real friends
I know, but if I don't hang out with these people I really have nobody else and it feels good to go out at least once in a while and grab a drink, even if I feel like shit afterwards.
I'm really at the end of the line here man and I don't know what to do. I just feel so.... Tired.
Everyone has these problems.
Are you ok?
This seems troubling.
My dear anon,
Don't fret
My advice will surely help you:
Always trust your instincts.

>Are you ok?
Nah, I'm definitely not ok. I just feel like crap after hearing my ex (whom I still have feelings for) went at her ex to "watch a movie" last night.
Yeah, I don't have an issue with that specifically, but I've had a gut feeling that she may be cheating on me with him (which is why I ended the relationship in the first place). It feels worse to have a shitty thing confirmed to you. I'd be better off ignorant.
Anyway, this coupled with my depression made me think about all sorts of things regarding me social life.
How do I get out of this pit man? It's messing with my head real bad.
