Why is it that every new person or friend i meet stops talking or wanting to hang out after a few weeks.
Is my personality that horrible?
>>17594859
I feel you OP.
I'm guessing they got a good impression of you at first but later realized that you weren't really what you expected
>>17594941
what they expected*
>>17594859
same feel.
I don't think I'm a terrible person, I just probably don't give them a friendly vibe, maybe they think I secretly hate them or whatever. Or maybe I'm just not the type of person they want to hang out with.
maybe it's the same with you.
post date text
there's usually always one with her
date 3, I did the post date text.
she hasn't responded in a day
it's over, right?
>>17594809
>it's over, right?
yes
>>17594809
Probably. Don't send anything else just in case. Something happened during the date?

she was normal on one side but super cold and not talking much on another
Hi guys. First time here on /adv/, looking for some advices in where I should enrol for a semester.
I'm an italian finishing my MA. I wanted to try a semester in a foreign university and I got accepted in these three.
I study Public Relations and Marketing.
Columbia is the most expensive one but I would also earn a certificate.
King's College is in London and therefore way less expensive and problematic for an european like me.
Chicago U is nice (usually one of the best 10, in the rankings) but not in the Ivy League.
I wouldn't mind working in the USA, one day.
Can you help me in my choice? How are these uni seen in your country?
I live in Chicago, go to King's College, debt is normal in America, which isn't good to be in.
>>17594796
certificate equals line on a resume/qualification
but I wouldn't go into debt or pay a ton for one, there are other ways. if I were you I would go to King's. as an american who has lived abroad, I would take most opportunities to live somewhere else.
Londoner here, King's college is generally highly regarded across the country and I think it's in the top 20. It's part of the Russell Group of Unis which is UK's equivalent to Ivy League but to a far lesser extent. It's better to look into how good your degree department is on sites like whatuni or something. Either way, you're getting a foreign experience whichever one you choose. If you feel like living in America in the future, then maybe Chicago isn't so bad. There's a lot to do in London though and you're bound to fit in with the thousands of foreign Europeans at University. Everything in London is stupidly expensive though for what you're getting, especially accommodation and our campuses are pretty small compared to American universities.
Studying cyber security as a post grad, struggling with it. I've had a lecturer say he's worried about me and suggested maybe cyber security isn't for me and I look for something else.
I was thinking a business postgrad or something like this http://courses.curtin.edu.au/course_overview/postgraduate/GDip-InformationLibrary or this http://courses.curtin.edu.au/course_overview/postgraduate/GDip-RecordsArchives
Another option was doing a TAFE nursing course.
Why would he say that?
What's your bachelor
>>17594774
Interactivemedia and marketing double major. I've worked in web development and SEO/SEM but the job market is sooo shit right now it isn't funny. Only have contract jobs went a year to 4 months in length. I just want stable employment mate I hate dealing with centrelink.
I just got a call from a girl that studies with me. Apparently she took a job from some construction company to draw plans for a stretch of road, she claims to have worked for that company before, but only doing plans for buildings and that she has no idea how to actually draw a road. Now she offered me some good money to draw the plans for her.
Could i get into trouble for this? I mean first of all who knows if it is really a job or if she just wants her homework done by someone else. Secondly im afraid that if something goes wrong way down the line she will admit to never having done the plans herself and shifting blame to me.
She isnt rich or anything so im pretty convinced she is desperate.
Also, if it matters, i dont NEED the money, i just think it would be nice to have some extra cash.
>>17594700
Sounds like trouble and, besides, she'll be only setting herself for failure when somebody inevitably starts making questions about the specifics of the project. Worst case scenario, you could get in legal trouble as an accomplice.
You won't get in any trouble but she might if she gets caught. Just help her out, take the cash, and also make her blow you before giving her the plans if you're cool enough for that
>>17594735
I will do that. But i will insist on her working with me, so that she at least knows SOMETHING about the project. as>>17594723
said. I can always deny everything if push comes to shove.
Does anyone have any tips to get rid of acne fast ..
I got really bad acne from being on steroids (prescribed from my dr for health related) and I got horrible acne some on my body too. I know lots about skincare but I can't seem to get rid of it..
I wash my face twice a day with a cleanser or scrub, just started using toner, and I use serum at morning and moisturizer at night if I get up before I sleep.. My problem seems to be they turn into little scars that stay in my face for a long time(I had acne last year and left scars that didn't go away for a full year !!) I'm also taking zinc and probiotics. I do face masks when I can (kinda low budget now and ran out of my last couple) I clean my phone and pillowcases etc
Should I start getting facials? Anyone wanna recommend specific products, diet tips? I am pretty educated about diet and what not but if there's anything specific that helped anyone? I would go see a dermatologist but it takes a while to acuslly even get an appointment and then if I do I feel like they will just either put me on antibiotics which I'm not down for I was just on them for a month for a health related thing or tell me to /prescribe salycic acid or benzoyl peroxide which I'm already aware about and have so it just seems like a waste . Pic related is the bad side of my face. No acne of chin or forehead, just the two sides, other side isn't as bad . I also have mild body acne from the steroids and have been using neutrogena body clear body wash,I've had it for like 3 weeks now I think it's getting better not sure tho

So I've had my dog for 3 years. Never had a flea or tick issue. These past 2 weeks shed been ridiculously itchy. I've given her two flea baths, and flea medicine. Still no improvement. She was just scratching herself, and I managed to get a decent picture. Appears to be a red rash, very small, not sensitive to the touch. Any idea what it could be?
>>17594551
demodex, allergy, etc etc etc
ask your fucking vet.

How do you know what to do, I am almost literally tearing myself apart in an uncertain limbo.
My mind is telling me knuckle down work hard and build a business. I have a plan to start a small let's say entertainment business, won't go into details as I don't want to give someone my business before o get a chance to start it
Heart wants to just take a blind leap and get the girl. Long story short someone I care for deeply, whom I know shares these feelings, lives 2000+km away, moved for collage we catch up when ever we happen to be in the same town but don't visit eachother, anyway in my heart I just want to leave everything I have here and move to her city and do what ever it takes to make it
And my soul longs to give it all up to persue a life of charity. Something like feeding homeless or helping provide aid for third world or war torn nations, or even work in an orphanage or something, just dedicating my life to helping all those in need.
I just don't know what I'm ment to do and all three pull me just as hard toward them leaving me stuck in the middle trying to do everything and achieving nothing. Pls help, what's helped you choose if you've been pulled multiple directions by life, which option do yous think would be Best?
>>17594501
why is your post formatted this way?
>>17594504
Because I'm on a phone and can't use phone keyboard for shit and don't post often
You have 3 clear paths while other people have gone their whole lives with none. Why ask an anonymous image board?
Follow your heart imo tho
Any others dealing with phimosis here? Any tips on dealing with it would be great.
every case is different, so i can't really help
talk to your doctor
try stretching for a few weeks
if it's not better, go to a doc to get a steroid cream for stretching
if that doesn't work either, get a surgery which just widens the foreskin opening (dorsal incision, triple incision), never ever do a circumcision.
if you go to a doc and the first thing s/he says "circumcision", stand up and leave.
>>17594507
I've been stretching for a while and I've managed to see entire head and it smelled horrendous, but I'm afraid of pulling it all the way down because it hurts a little and I don't want to tear anything. I've been only stretching while flaccid btw.
What do /adv/:
>22 year old robot
>feel unwanted by group of friends (not really my friends, only got them)
>I'm either not invited to hangouts, or everyone is openly invited and no one asks me if I'm going
>whenever I go people tell me "I'm the soul of the party" or something hypocritical along those lines
>get mad drunk 75% of the time, even if I'm only drinking 2 beers people assume I'm black out drunk
>I'm an impertinent annoying drunk, wherever I go I'm usually the center of attention and everyone mocks me
I've tried to distance myself from the group but it's been hard, I always end up going to a party or a hang out when I'm ocassionaly invited to shit.
I get bored on the weekends and I might genuinely have an alcohol problem, to be honest I admit that I'm the problem and that people got tired of having to take care of me when I get drunk, but even before that I wasn't considered "part" of the group either.
I like these guys and it hurts me to know that I've invested years in their friendship and that they only consider me a hindrance, I know I'm to blame, but still.
>>17594453
>only got them
I meant that I don't really have other "circle" of friends.
>>17594453
pls respond
>>17594453
Every second drink should be soda or water
Make sure to eat a BIG meal before the part with good amounts of fat ( like eggs and bacon or some ground meat dish)
Control your intake and make sure your belly's full, and you should be able to not get so drunk.
Attend parties as the new tipsy you instead of the blackout drunk annoying you, people will notice and hold you in ever higher esteem
I went to a job interview recently for which I was unsuccessful. However, the manager got in touch with me telling me there is a position opening up she'd like me for. She emailed me on Wednesday asking when I can work; I emailed back straight away. That's the last I've heard from her. I emailed her again on Friday asking 'is that ok' or something to that effect.
Over a week since I last hear from her. What do plox?
>>17594441
Stop waiting for people to be responsible.
Apply for other jobs and other positions while you wait on this moron who may or may not get back to you.
Do you really want to work for people who cant be assed to send an email?
Spam applications like a motherfucker nonstop till your employed.
>>17594449
>Apply for other jobs and other positions
Imagine that only one job was feasible.
Not OP btw.
This is the situation I'm in. Something above minimum wage not requiring 2 years of experience (or an absurdly specific degree) comes along once a blue moon.
>>17594472
Contrary to popular belief, min wage is a lovable income.
What "isn't feasible" is unemployment. If you cant get the income you need to sustain your previous way of living, its time to cut spending. Wether that means cutting yourself off from luxuries like cable tv, or that lofty suburb you want to live in isnt for me to say, but sometimes you have to make a sacrifice and bite the hard bullet, working back up the ladder you fell down.
How to keep the conversation going?
I have almost no friends, and i can't really make new ones outside of internet because my conversation skills are horrible. It mostly looks like this:
>Hi person, [question]?
>hi anon, [y/n]
>insert awkward silence
I can't seem to keep the conversation going. Noone around me gives a shit aboit politics, so i cant even use this as an excuse for conversation.
Even when i know someone has similar interests to me i seem incapable to keep conversation about my own hobbies going.
Please help. I'm lonely and sad.
I'm calling it now (as someone with the same problem)
No one's going to answer you with anything helpful. Just vagueries like hygeine and confidence. Shit you already knew and are perplexed that they bother to put to words.
>>17594435
I don't have any problem with hygiene or confidence. I am very confident person and approaching people is really easy. It's just that after i approach them i don't know what to say.
>>17594426
follow up with another question.
If a straight yes or no is all you're getting out of people, present your questions in a way that pushes them to explain themselves more.
Or just ask why.
But at the end of the day, some people just dont want to talk to you.
I am a newfag on Tinder. I have some questions about the app.
1) Am I only allowed to see a number of matches with the free version?
2) How to add more photos of me on Tinder?
3) How to add my bio on Tinder?
4) How to see more photos and the bio of the other person on Tinder?
Also, as a girl, how to stay safe when using the app?
Hah. I had it for two months and got three matches, none of whom ever responded.
Fml
1. I think so but I've never hit the limit and I swipe pretty much all the time.
2-3. Tap the person icon in the top left on the frirst page of the app the tap the pencil next to your profile. That should take you straight to the edit.
4. Just tap the profile instead of swiping it then swipe through the photos and scoll down to see the bio.
5. A couple of girls I've talked to on timder have said that they've had guys try to rape them. Just be clear that you don't wanna fuck them before meeting up and meet in a public place the first time. You'll probably get shit for this but people are just assholes sometimes.
>>17594417
It really is one of the worst things to ever catch on.
I despise what happens in my brain as I'm using it.
It's acclimating us to treating people shittily.
