Where do you go when you're broke and lonely? I haven't been scheduled for work this week while I undergo a transfer so I have no money or friends to talk to RN, my discord got deleted as well so nobody to talk to on there either.

>she's isnt a slut (seemingly), but from the conversation I overhear do her having, she sounds very intelligent and kind

I'm not really sure how to get to know her. There isn't an opportunity to do so in the middle of class, and even after class there doesn't seem to be a good way to ease into a conversation with her. I also don't want to make I think awkward for the rest of the semester by being blunt with her. Any advice?

The fact that a large concern of yours is "is she a slut" when you literally haven't even talked to her indicates that you have no chance in hell of dating her.
>>
>>18651361
if she doesn't make eye contact with you and doesn't smile back when you smile at her then she isn't interrested in you and you should probably keep your distance.

you could ask her for notes at the end of a class and gauge her reaction. if she isn't smilling then forget it.

How can you tell if she's a slut or not without even talking to her?

Dress properly and join all parties that you can, uninvited and without having close relationships with anybody. When in the party, talk a lot about anime and attack people using your favourite character's move. People will look upon you and say "Wow, Jimmie, what a guy!"

No, just kidding. No reason to party unless you feel very comfortable. And if you wanna feel comfortable you need to have built good telationships with a few guys. Or if you really, really wanna party (reason???) join uninvited and have an unforgettable awkward experience

Why do liberals hate nuclear energy so much? it is literally the best thing mankind can have for energy and production.
>"w-wind energy is safer!!!"
It doesn't provide enough power

Same shit, different method
Seriously, my advice to society is that we embrace nuclear energy and keep fossil fuels underground.

Senior in high school this year and I decided to take 3 AP classes consisting of Goverment, Economics, and English Literature. Mostly looking for advice on how to keep focused and not fuck up these classes? Anyone with experience in taking more than 1 or 2 AP classes?

APgov was one of my easiest classes, but that might be because of my teacher. Just have a basic understanding of American history along with knowing the three branches of govt. and what they do, get used to writing FAQs/DBQ's and study a couple times a week.

English lit is fun if you like reading, and isn't fun if you don't. It's difficulty entirely depends on how well you can analyze writing.

No idea about engineering.

Hey /adv/, 27 year old male anon here that's been in a committed relationship for six years and has lived with said partner for the better part of four years.

Recently I can't stop thinking about cheating on her. We're sexually active and I'm attracted to her, I could genuinely see myself spending the rest of my life with her, and I feel like I genuinely love her; However, I can't shake this compulsion to want to stick my dick in other people. Is that just an issue with monogamy? I haven't cheated on her, but I compulsively browse Craigslist personals, backpage etc. I've never actually attempted to contact someone and don't know if I have the gall to do it, but in recognizing that I want to is it an issue with my relationship or with myself?

More so in terms of cheating, I have a friend that would hook up with me if I asked but is there a distinction between how egregious cheating would be with someone she knew versus a sex worker or a random.

I realize this rather long winded but I guess my questions are two fold:
1. How do you handle thoughts of cheating? Do you act on them, repress them, does it indicate a problem to you in some way? Do you voice your concerns?

2. If I were to, or were to act on should I be honest with her regarding my desires? Should I have a life altering break up because I'm promiscuous? Adversely, should I cheat on her is it better to do randomly or with someone I know.

Looking at those personals and backpages is your way of indulging with the fantasy of dicking someone else. I personally don't see anything wrong with this.. it's akin to watching porn to get yourself off.

I get urges like that too, and it comes down to me just being horny. I have no intention of leaving or fucking things up with my girl, but the thought of fucking other women crosses my mind a lot. But I get over it. I even remind myself why I shouldn't fuck up a good thing and move on.

But be careful though. The more you 'indulge' into this fantasy, the more likely you might be to act on it if the opportunity ever arises.

And finally, don't cheat on her. If you really want to fuck other people then do the right thing and break up with her.
>>
I usually have thoughts of cheating when I'm withdrawing from the relationship, but that's just me.
>>
>>18651345
Thanks for your input, I think you put it quite aptly that browsing is my way indulging in the fantasy of cheating, it definitely orients me in that direction. You're also right, if I am going to cheat I should just break up with her, thanks.

My entire days consist of me just lying down thinking about how happiness and comfort are possible. Every hobby/activity seems like a waste of time to me and anytime I've forced myself to pick something up I give up because I don't understand why it matters that I'm doing something and because none of it actually entertains me.
I don't have any actual interests, just some things are somewhat more tolerable than others, usually things that aren't mainstream/aren't trendy. Can someone help me understand what it means to enjoy something? This isn't a joke, I really need help. I'm a broken person and will probably end up ending my life soon if this emptiness keeps up. (not that it would matter to anyone)

I'm coming out of the same thing OP. I'm old, and the past three decades of my life have been shit. You gotta work on yourself, you gotta exercise and take care of yourself man. Find something to do that addresses how you feel directly. Maybe that's painting, or making time to be outside, or volunteering or something. Whatever it is, you need to start taking control of your life, one aspect at a time. I can promise if you do that, it will get better. Not right away, but it will happen.

I grew up playing video games and spending time with friends, going outside, going to local shows, now I can't do anything, nothing is truly enjoyable to me. So I decided to put all my interest into love, being in love made the sun shine in my life like I was a kid again, food tasted good again, tv movies and video games inspired me again, music actually sounded pleasant again. But then you forget that people aren't to be trusted. Nothing can fill this void in me, I'm back to my old self just sitting and staring at the ceiling. No calls or texts in my phone, just notification from spam emails and youtube uploads. Life is bleak and dark OP. You can try and fill your void like I did but failing feels worse than never trying at all. Maybe we were just meant to go with the motions until our inevitable demise. People like us weren't meant for this life, we don't belong. Society accepts us because we are able to work and contribute but that's the most value we'll ever have in the grand scheme. I know this doesn't help, but you aren't alone.

I dropped my phone a few months ago and a purple fluid slowly filled the screen to the point the whole screen became pitch black.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S6.

How do I get the pictures/videos stored inside? Do I have to repair the phone itself, or can I get the pictures out of the phone, despite it being damaged now?

Thanks.

How do I go about making new friends? I understand the entire finding a place and humans to talk to, but how do I talk to them spontaneously? How do I approach strangers and make conversation without it being odd and awkward?

Get a haircut, take a shower and become confident. This will solve itself then.
>>
>>18651270
Not him, but I always take a shower, I just got my haircut today coincidentally, and there's no confidence in the world that I'm in.
>>
>>18651270
I always shower and regularly cut my hair. I understand the confidence part, but that doesn't tell me anything. It isn't about being shy, it's about not understanding how to go about it logistically. Who would be a good person to approach in a random area? What should I say to initiate conversation? Where would be a good place to do any of this? I can go up to someone in a park and say "Hey, how are you?" but that just feels weird to me since there isn't much apparent context or reason for starting conversation.

>GF of 3 years
>Had to go LDR for 5 months because of jobs
>Thought she might be "the one"
>Had like 4 interviews so far trying to get a job up near her
>She starts seeming more distant
>Suddenly says she's not sure if she sees a future with me
>Doesn't like my family
>I got an interview out of the blue tomorrow and she says she wants to spend time with me to "see how she feels"
>We are both the only people we've ever dated and she says that if she stays with me, she'll always wonder what it might be like to date other people
>She says she doesn't want to break up
>We decided to get a hotel and just talk about it

I was willing to wait until I get a job up near her, but she says she feels so lonely and this that and the other. I could get a job near her next week or in a few months. Now I don't know if I want to be up there at all. I feel like we work well together and the whole "sample a bunch of people or you'll be unhappy" is a societal meme. We were both virgins when we met, we will never have a relationship as tailored to just us ever again. I don't know, she's always been hesitant about the idea of settling down, acts like shes tied down by me, while she lives with her parents.

Basically I have an important job interview and a make-or-break relationship interaction with my gf on the same day after traveling like 5 hours. Shit is going to suck balls.

Should I just break up? Should I just enjoy one last day with her and then we go our separate ways.

Maybe we aren't meant to be or whatever, basically sucks ass that now my entire friend group up where she lives will probably some what estranged if we break up.

I could see a future with her, but she's not sure if shes "going through a phase" and "needs to see me".

I don't fucking know. I've already laid my cards out and said "I would like us to work if it's possible, I feel like the ball is in your court on this one, I have been driving up and down the coast trying to make us work. I don't want to be in limbo"

If she wants to break up with you, she's going to break up with you. It doesn't matter how much you think "I'll always wonder what it's like to date other people" is a meme, if she feels that way, there's nothing you can do about it.

>Should I just break up?
What, just so you can say you were the dumper instead of the dumpee? Because after all that waffle you just spewed about how well you work together, that seems to be the only reason you'd want to break up with her.
>>
If a job is the only thing keeping the future secure with her, and she doesn't like your family (and you felt the need to mention that because it obviously matters) then it's probably fucked. You sound young so I doubt you'll commit to going to therapy so there's no use in telling that. Just suck it up and see what happens at the interview, she sounds like she's gonna put her foot down and you're going to let her.
>>
>>18651254
I'm asking because it is her doing the majority of the waffling. I'm not going to bullshit you and say I don't have mixed feelings as well. I just know I'd like to give it a shot. When I try and get a more direct answer it's always "I don't know what to do. I love you but what if it won't work?"

Let me try and condense. If someone says things like "I feel like I could have regrets or I'm not sure I see a future" is this a normal sort of "dark midnight of the soul" or just a precursor to breaking up?

I don't know what else to tell her. I;ve already said "people always wonder what the other grass is like, I do to, but I feel I can choose to be happy with you. I have no way of telling you what dating other people is like. Please, just make a choice here because I'm not going to be your stand by back up plan."

>>18651265
I just what a straight answer. I wish she would do something so certain, it would be a relief.

I'm too lazy to take a poop and sometimes I just hold it inside, not gonna lie it even feels good sometimes. How to deal with this?

Sometimes I can't wait to get to the toilet to get away from my girlfriend for a little bit and fuck around on my phone. Don't get me wrong, I live with her and I love her, but there's nothing like relaxing on the shitter.

That said, just hang out on the john while you browse 4chan until it all comes out. But since you actually enjoy holding it in.. what's the problem?

How???

I'm a fucking mess. I have little to no knowledge of life skills. My good friends tell me they have no idea how I'll survive when I move out. I fuck up in the stupidest ways and I seem to be uninformed on about everything except obscure political topics and other unnecessary trivia I learned from the internet, like history. I have no idea how everyone else figured this shit out.

> I can't cook or make food other than eggs and sandwiches, because of this I'm underweight. I love working out at the gym, but my eating habits get in the way because I'm not getting enough calories
> I failed a job interview because I answered yes to "Have you ever been asked to do something illegal?"
> I need to be explained things like a 5 year old to understand them
> My social skills are weak
> My situational awareness is awful, I also lose things often
> My self-confidence needs to be reaffirmed by an expert on the topic or I'm worried that I haven't done something correctly
> I'm overly trusting and assume that people have good intentions
> I have a bit of an inferiority complex, it's probably showing now

I feel like I'm so much stupider than everyone else. Obviously it's my fault for being dumb and the world isn't conspiring against me, but what the fuck do I do? I've been tackling all these problems at once and progress has been very slow. With some of these problems I don't even know how to solve them? I always remind myself that my life is good, but I am so tired of pitying myself and losing out on life because of my incompetence. I feel powerless because of my lack on knowledge and ability to do anything. Doesn't help that I can't legally drive alone yet either. I only just got my license while my friends got theirs years ago because I wasn't motivated enough. How do I improve so I can survive in the adult world?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess this is your problem for everything. You can learn to cook. You can learn how to tackle job interviews (although I don't think that particular question was the reason they rejected you). You can learn more things and become more well rounded. But you need to get out there and do it. You might not have all the confidence now, and you probably think attempting is futile, but you NEED to know that it's okay to fail. It's OKAY TO FAIL, just pick yourself up and try again. And if it comes time to call it quits, at the very least you probably learned something and that already makes you
a better person.

What's not okay is not trying at all. That ensures you'll be as useless as you think you are.
>>
When thrown into the wild, you'll figure out how to survive anon.

>Can't cook
I highly doubt you've ever actually given it a good shot to learn. Pull up some recipes online and practice till it's good.

>Job interview
Well, now you know how to answer that question don't you? Failure is progress anon.

>5 year old
This is a valid issue, the only thing I've got for this point in specific is you'll get into a routine eventually and you'll understand shit the more you work at it.

>Social skills/awkwardness/confidence/insecurity
>Aka the rest of what you put there
Practice practice practice. The ONLY way to get better at socializing is to just do it. There is no way around it, you have to go out there, fail, and succeed.

>I've been tackling all these problems at once
Don't do that. Baby steps, one thing at a time. Learning to cook is probably the easiest thing you put up there, start with that.

> With some of these problems I don't even know how to solve them?
All of them are solved with practice. And I mean putting in a real honest try, not half assing it once and giving up because you are embarrassed.

Take the time you need to recover, but you need to never lose sight of the future. It might be frightening to try to pick your life back up again and carry on, but the alternative is to live in a shell doing nothing until you die.
>>
>>18651224
Agreed, I'd say start by picking up a minimum wage job or something to test the waters and re accumulate yourself with a schedule, learning new task ect. ect.

But one thing you gotta remember is recovery time is NOT wasted time if that makes sense, that idea is what gave my mom a second heart attack in two months. Good luck to you anon
