How the do you talk to people?

I can't keep a conversation going for more than 2 minutes.
Im usually a boring and unfunny person and I want to have meaningful and fun conversations with my friends. Whenever I see my friends talk about stuff they always laugh and go at it with each other. Whenever I talk to a friend 1 v 1 theres always this awkward silence when I talk to people.

>tfw turning 28 in April

My youth is almost gone. What the fuck do I do to cope?! Is it normal to still feel this useless at my age?

>getting ready to go
>step dad cleaning kitchen
>pretty sure he has ocd
>commands me to finish drinking apple cider jug
>my "his ocd is acting up sense tingling"
>finish packing up car
>stepdad: "but what about this cider there is only like a gulp left! Just drink it "
>I don't feel like drinking the cider at this specific moment in time
>"I'll probably drink it tommorw "
>he starts ranting about how the cider has been at a small amount for two days
>"If it bothers you than I'll dump it out"
>him "oh no Ive got it. God this is six year old shit really it's always something like this some-" he dumps out the cider
>At this point I just left in the middle of his sentence. I didnt storm of or slam the door or anything I was on my way out anyway and just kind of casually left. Which is admittedly disrespectful. But I wasn't in the mood to here him complain about a jug existing in the fridge for an extra day

The "always something" things he is referring to are thing like just last week. I got home late from work. I ate cereal for dinner. I left the box on the counter overnight. The next morning I found a hand written note about remembering to put the cereal box back in the pantry.

I do chores. I stay tidey. I clean gutters and shit he's too old to do. I walk his dog. I'm not leaving the house messy.

Does this shit actually bother people? Like I understand being annoyed at dirty dishes or something, but a container of food having a small amount of food in it doesn't bother me in the slightest. He also seems to get upset when he is cleaning and other people are currently not.

I feel that he is always just kind of trying to give me commands to feel in control. He isn't always like this but he gets in these funks were he seems to think people are actively undermining him. I got sick of this and didn't want to have a conversation about the proper contents level of cider in the fridge.

Just wanted feedback.

Pic unrelated.

How do I get over being sexually assaulted ?

>Have new fwb
>Keeps mentioning her sexual history, which I have no interest in hearing
>Keeps asking about my sexual history (how many girls I've slept with, how I got so good at giving head etc.)

Why does she want to know? Imagining the person I'm banging with another person is kind of gross. Does she get off to the thought that I have a huge sexual history or does is she just trying to see if I'm a manwhore?

I told my bf that im ok with him watching porn as long as he doesn't look at it behind my back, but I think the volume he's been consuming becoming unhealthy.

He doesn't delete his history anymore so I see everything.
He looks at porn while I am working morning-evening shifts and he continues to watch and look at porn when i am asleep when he gets home from work.

He also used to share porn with his best guy friend behind over IM behind my back until i found out about it.

He doesn't do it anymore to my knowledge.

He says that he looks at porn because it helps his sex drive but we hardly have sex (maybe twice a week).

When he sleeps with me its unenthusiastic with him unless I roleplay extreme fetishes with him (like incest roleplay)

This is really starting to make me feel like shit because I feel like I'm always playing a character for him to fuck instead of actually getting fucked as myself if that makes sense?

Like he would rather have sex with someone else and this is how he compromises being in a monogamous relationship.

He looks at porn for the videogames he plays and the anime he watches so he has no problem sexualizing these things but he seems to have a problem sexualizing me, a real woman who's actually into him.

We have been together a year so the relationship is still new, but the first 6 months he did not have this problem. He loved to have sex!

Despite the obvious problem he keeps denying that consuming this amount of porn is a problem.

Is there anything more I can do to make him realize that he is hurting me by doing this? I really love him and stand by him I would hate for this issue to be the endgame.

I'm in a long distance relationship and my partner is overweight.
Not obese, just overweight.
I'm going to be moving to her country soon and I don't want her to be overweight anymore.
She already knows this, but she keeps making excuses, keeps eating food, keeps skipping exercise.
She's had weight issues before, and she lost the weight then, so I know she can do it and I know she wants to lose weight again.

But I am not physically attracted to her as she is right now.
I don't want her to be stick skinny. I like her when she's curvy and got an ass and stuff (like she was at the start of our relationship), but she's at around 180lbs and is 5'2"...I'm 6'1" and 140. Our bodies felt so weird together last time we were together.

I love her very much, with all my heart and my future is with her. I could never leave her.

How do I strongly convey that I want her to lose weight?

Okay /adv/, I really need your help this time. I get I should set the scene first, I'll try to be as brief as possible:
>high school senior (inb4 "MODS"; I'm 18 so don't worry I'm not breaking any rules)
>haven't had a girlfriend since Sophomore year
>she was the only girl I ever dated
>now I'm in limbo
>homecoming is this Friday
>time is running short to ask a girl out
>I have my sight set on one girl: super qt, super nice, we're friends but not super close so I only talk to her during club meetings and in homeroom

I think you all see where this is going. I think I could work up the courage to ask her to the dance, but I can't figure out how to bring it up in conversation without seeming desperate. I don't want to be the one to mention the dance, but I don't want to entirely rely on random happenstance. What should I do?! I really don't want to fuck things up with her, since non-slutty, nice, and attractive high school girls are a rare sight these days.

Also, I don't think she has a boyfriend, but I need to find a casual way to find out.

Please, guys, I really don't want to screw this up.

>Woman dislike men who are virgins
She just likes an experienced guy
>Man dislikes woman who isnt a virgin
Hes insecure

Why is it that Im not allowed to not want to date women who arent virgins. Its doesnt make sense to make. Why am I suddenly the bad guy for dumping a girl after finding out shes not a virgin. Why am I not allowed to choose what I want in a partner.
Im so tired of being told that I made a mistake for breaking up for such an [insert ad hominem] reason.
Whats the best way to deal with people treating me like Im some sort of criminal for this.

Undergrad CS major and I can't help but be overcome with intense rage every time I mess up a calculation or take longer than what I think is a reasonable time frame to write a program in (for example, taking longer than an hour to finish any program typically ends in mild self harm once it's working).

Every time I learn something that's not syntax I'm mad because I didn't figure it out myself, for example how the volume of a sphere is computed and how the binomial theorem is proved by induction.

I feel like I'm never going to make it doing anything but flipping burgers given how fucking incompetent I prove myself to be on a daily basis. Understanding is not enough, if I didn't discover it myself I'm not worthy of utilizing it and I have more proof that I'm worthless and unintelligent.

CS doesn't feel fun anymore. All I feel is rage at myself and I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. I also don't eat on a regular basis.

Is there a cure for this?

I am 30 years old with my own home. Everything I can possibly think of, I have changed to my own address, but on account of having the same name and birthday as my father, plus using my parents' address until I was 24, mail sometimes shows up to my parents' place.

My dad is often out of town - but really for only 2-4 days at a time. My mom opens his mail. The problem is, my mom is prone to panic. Today she opened junk mail that made her think I'm $63,000 in credit card debt, and spent the day losing her shit and demanding I show her my accounts. (Not at all true, and I didn't show her.)

I have asked that she no longer opens mail addressed to my dad and I's name, because she will always freak out, and sometimes there might be something I don't want to share with anyone. She's refusing, and saying I must have something to hide.

What legal recourse do I have to report her for opening my mail? How severe will the reprecussions be?

How can I convince my boyfriend to try anal?

I hate vaginal penetration. I have a unnaturally narrow vagina, so it almost always hurts or is, at least, uncomfortable. I am, however, fond of anal.

He thinks it's gross, though, even though I know I keep myself clean. I just don't want to break up with him because we're sexually incompatable, but I'm just not enjoying myself.
