If you and the girl are practically a couple, and only your lesbo BFF's ignorance keeps it from being official... and you two WANT it to be official?

If your lesbo bff says she wouldn't mind, then take her word for it. If the lesbo starts re-developing feeling for your girl, then you know what to do, lol.

Tell her to get over it? She's dating someone at the moment btw

Unless this chick is just amazing, which for the sake of argument I'll assume she's not, then you clearly don't value the friendship if you make this move.

Doesn't make you a bad person per say, but just know that it's not a friendship that truly matters to you if you go to these lengths to shag some skank.

How to deal with smokers?

I'm planning on confronting the neighbor about his smoking habits and politely ask him to at least go outside of the premises to smoke. ( Which is just 30 steps away ). My 6-year-old son has asthma and every night our room fills up with their cigarette and weed scent. Twice a day it's been happening recently and I hate having to close all the windows and deny us fresh air and spray Febreeze to neutralize the odor.

What else can I do?

Yeah. I'm sure they know because even they leave their back door open to let it out. Since it's an alleyway, that's how it gets to us but we're fine through the front doors...oddly. Either you're okay or neighbors are too scared/nervous to really complain. I'm fine with it like once a day but they smoke when we're getting ready to sleep and I really don't wanna go to sleep inhaling that all night.

My gf has been acting a bit cold it seemed to me, so yesterday I told her that. Asked what's wrong.
She said she never noticed that she's been acting cold towards me, and when prodded, she started crying.
She said she never wants to hurt me but she's been having this depression for a year and she feels like she messes and ruins everything she touches. She said she cares deeply about me and that I'm the best guy ever, and she thanked many times for being there for her.
She promised me she'll try to change for the better and get over her issues.

I want to help her, /adv/ what's the best course of action?

>>17591015
I am a calm and pațient guy usually, but how can I "BE PATIENT" with her specifically? What does it mean? Not push her around to do things she doesn't like?
I told her yesterday I don't know how to treat her because I don't want to distance myself from her, but at the same time I don't want to suffocate her either.

It broke my heart to see her cry, man. It killed me and I silently wept as well. I actually dropped tears right there with her, something that never happened to me in my entire.life.

I love her damn it. I will always love and support her and I want her to know that.

How do I do that?

Ive got a friend that lives in Czech Republic (has done her whole life) and works there. Shes 21
She wants to move over to England and work, better money, slightly less depressing country etc.

What would she have to do? What rules/restrictions are there for her to deal with?
She'd be living with a friend of her mother.

Is anyone else deeply, profoundly, cripplingly disturbed by shitting and the knowledge that we will be shitting for the rest of our lives?

I'm almost anorexic because I just can't bring myself to eat even more than I do and make more SHIT.

Fat people absolutely disgust me - not because they have no self-control or because they like to indulge in food - but because of the amount of shit they must be shitting all day every day. I live with fat people and honestly they spend more time in the bathroom than anywhere else, presumably shitting.

I admit, a quick, clean shit is not too bad, but a toilet clogging monstrous amount at once quickly becomes a nightmare that seriously makes me consider suicide. Has anyone ever left a suicide note: "Tired of shitting. Goodbye shitty world..."?

It's also stopped me from having relationships. How can anyone date anyone and have sex knowing that they take shits regularly? Or that their intestines are full of shit all the time? I just see humans as shit machines.

Someone please help me, I'm seriously on the verge of suicide over this shit.

First-jesus christ dude get some therapy

Second-You need to change your perspective on it. I know that's not easy, and obviously you aren't going to do it over night, but seriously let yourself think about what shit is.

It is waste. It is simply the by product of material from food that your body did not need to keep functioning properly. It stinks because that is your bodies way of saying 'we didn't need this part of the food, don't put it back in'. It looks gross and all around un-appeasing because it goes back to your natural instinct of-this is waste, you don't need it anymore, and it carries germs. Stay away.

This is also why humans created plumbing, because proper plumbing and disposal is essential to keep the waste from reaching areas that could possibly make us sick.

It is just a by product of a properly functioning body. Just like we have saliva to get our food wet so that we can chew and digest it properly, and why we have to blow our nose sometimes to rid our nasals of unwanted debri. It's just another function of our body, and every living creature has or does some form of it.

I just can't stand it. I don't think it's a problem from my childhood because I only remember becoming aware of it as a teenager (older now).

I only go like once every three days and even that is too much. When I read medical sites saying "once or twice a day" is ideal I want to fucking puke. How can people live like that?

I'm even thinking of going on an all liquid diet or something to cut out shitting as much as possible. I don't want to live if I have to shit once a day.

How can i ever keep the anxiety and depression at bay without the aid of drugs?

Hello all, i hope some of you will hear me out. I don't do hard drugs. Though i'm probably addicted to what i do take, it isn't to the point where i spend every waking moment intoxicated. I'm actually sober most of the time, and when i do get high, i don't usually get super fucked up.

Here's the thing: i've been pretty miserable for a long time. Every day i just can never find joy in anything. I'm irritated by almost everything and everyone, and i'm always wishing i were at home in bed. When interacting with people, it feels like i'm straining to hold in a giant shit, because i just can't fake it and match anyone's cheerfulness. Its so goddamn exhausting and wears me the fuck out.

When i do drugs, i mix a few things. I'll take a 30mg vyvanse with 2 big cans of redbull in the morning, which gets me pumped AS FUCK and ready to take on any task. I get so in the zone, i end up finishing everything i need to do for the day and then some.

When i start to come down, i ease my way through it by smoking a few bowls of weed and having a few beers. At this point, i'm in heaven. I've reached total relaxation, and as i reflect on everything, i realize that everything that usually bothers me so much is NOTHING!

Please don't misinterpret. It's not a matter of me getting all fucked up and just not caring, it's me finally feeling relaxed and realizing that it's all okay, it really is. I'm just too uptight when i'm sober. Being a little intoxicated actually seems to unlock the doors in my head and let the REAL me out.

I know taking substances is not the answer. But i just don't know how to be level-headed when i'm sober, ever. I'm so uncomfortable all the time.

I don't think you can I don't know if it's because I'm on the down swing of my depression again but I can't live without MDMA, amphetamines or drinking. I'm scared too because I don't want to hurt my friends or family but I've pushed almost everyone away because of depression. And I'm tired of living like this there's no getting better so I think I'll end up dying along the way instead.
>>
You need to stop doing any kind of substance in general. Now I'm not saying go straight edge or any of that other bullshit but hear me out. I spent two years dealing with terrible depression and anxiety and all of that. During those two years (and a few years prior) I dabbled quite heavily into alcohol and did a fair variety of drugs (nothing hardcore though).
During that time I was spiralling downwards and downwards and just getting overall worse. Then I had a buddy who was going down the same road as I attempt suicide and luckily failed at it but the shit woke me up. I stopped from doing any substances at all and spent a year sobered up. It was hard, God damn was it ever tough to just cold turkey it all out but Months after I've cleaned up I felt the weight of my depression and anxieties lift up and get better.
Now I'll drink and have an occasional toke but only touch substances a small slight fraction of the time that I used to and things couldn't be better. I have my days and moods but every person does.
Tl;dr lay off the stuff and you'll feel better
>>
> it isn't to the point where i spend every waking moment intoxicated

It definitely sounds like it, taking red bull and amphetamines in the morning and weed and alcohol at night.

> Being a little intoxicated actually seems to unlock the doors in my head and let the REAL me out.

No, it's fucking you up, you're hiding from your problems by getting intoxicated and the amphetamines and red bull are making your anxiety a million times worse. I would strongly advise you to stop using any drugs for a while until you can be happy sober. You're romanticizing your drug use and you can't start getting better until you stop, you even admit that you're addicted. Then I would suggest reading about cognitive behavioral therapy, get a book on it.

love doesn't work that way.

what you "feel" only lasts for a few months, at most. it is a neurological change.. your brain chemistry changes a bit

the purpose is to get you to pair bond and then have sex, and then pass on your genes.

the feeling that you think you're looking for (and that hollywood glorifies) is 100% biological

and many breakups, and divorces assume that they should feel like they felt in the "new relationship phase" forever. but of course, the brain chemistry wears off, so you won't feel like that forever.

then what?

when the chemical attraction subsides a bit, and you, when in a clear state of mind, decide that you would sacrifice your own happiness... even your own life.. to improve the happiness of this woman.. and then you are able to reliable act on that sentiment without feeling resentful... then you are are doing love.

The english language only has one word for "love". The early Greek versions of the bible had 3 different words that all get translated to "love" in english, but in the Bible, they mean different things. Much of the bible talks about "servant love", which has a connotation of what you do to and for someone else because you wish to serve them.

That's the stuff long term relationships are made of. Very few boys and girls are brought up that way in our society, however.

Fiance just told me she felt God told her she needed to "Let me go" in life after we've had a stagnated year or two. She feels she isn't doing much in her life, happy with her job, or just progressing as a Christian. Says I'm wonderful and a man of God, but she feels shes holding me back in life from doing even more someday. She was raised Christian her whole life and still says she loves me. Shes just not excited to get married anymore and doesn't want to hold me back.

So we're broken up now, I'm an absolute mess but praying and trying to keep a positive attitude right now. She isn't cheating on me (not the kind of person), still says she loves me, wrote in her journal its the hardest thing she'll have to do for God. I want to wait for her, but that could be years at this point. Any advice?

I know I'm seeing everything through rose colored lens right now, but I can't stop shaking the feeling I was meant to be married to her, grow old and have kids someday.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

She's not happy about something, and is filtering it all through her faith to produce a faith-based reason for breaking up with you.

I'm not saying she's left you for Chad.

For all I know she broke up with you as a form of self-harm... but bottom line is the STATED reason is a load of crap.

Not this.

Don't wait for her, it's fucking over. You just weren't satisfying her or something about your relationship wasn't working out. also she's saying that stuff about missing you because she does, and she likes you as a person and doesn't want to hurt you, she likes you as a person but not as a lover.

> but I can't stop shaking the feeling I was meant to be married to her, grow old and have kids someday.

The quicker you let go of this the quicker you'll heal. Seriously, stop thinking this garbage because it can haunt you for years if you don't move on. Go find another Christian girl and move on.

Background investigator calls me, and tells me that I failed the polygraph. He said the polygraph person emphasized the question about how many times I had smoked marijuana.
Background investigator says I am the perfect candidate and that he set up another polygraph appointment.
>okay go to appointment
>same result

I fail backgrounds because of polygraph test. My question is- do law enforcement agencies wash people out of the program in the polygraph because they don't like them for some arbitrary reason? Is the polygraph just a tool to discriminate applicants, based on an investigator's bias?

How was your past with marijuana?
>>
>>17590832
I know right? I just think it is a vetting tool that they use for applicants they deem "just not right."
I smoked marijuana 6 times between the age of 15 and 18. The ploygraph examiner told me "The machine is showing a reaction to those questions." "Your generation is known for smoking a lot of marijuana- I would believe the 65 year old man next door, but not you." While I didn't say anything, I found that comment odd because generationally I would say marijuana was more popular in the adolescence of that age group. Interesting process that I don't think I'll go through ever again.

No wonder cops are all a bunch of dick bags nowadays. Anyone who has never smoked pot is a tight ass grumpy butt, and everyone who did and made it is a spectacular liar.
Reminds me of an article I saw,about how the FBI can't find any really good computer guys to hire because they all smoke pot.
They're shooting themselves in the foot. OP sounds like a stand up guy who is being honest about being a normal teenager. But everyone should know, that in any kind of government job, honesty is a one way ticket to ass-rape station.

All right so my ex has been fucking with me lately. Today in Trade Class she decided to hide my phone and not say anything(she was the only one sitting behind me when I set it down to write some notes on a video we were watching). During English I have a seat in the back and i know when shes stareing at me. Ive heard from her friends and new boyfriend shes pregnant so I think shes frightened. The phone thing today among other things are attention grabs(really attention is something that she values the most)

Im thinking about asking her what the deal is. But I think by doing that Ill have given into her endless hunger for attention. I dont plan on going back after all the shit like gaslighting she tried to pull on me. But I feel that if i dont ask what her problem is shell kerp annoying me.

Its my last year in highschool and I dont want any drama in my last year.

What do i do /adv/?

Then don't give her any attention. You said that asking her what she's doing will give her attention, so don't do it. Ignore her, continue life as normal. You'll only have drama if you invite it.
>>
>>17590760
This.

Just sneer, dont make eye contact, don't give attention. If you're not entirely beta, id suggest making awkward moments on purpose. Make her and her friends feel awkward for tons of WIN!

I promise you, some of the best stories in life are awkward ones, but certainly dont embarrass yourself or make it too cringey. Side benefit is experimenting and internalizing good social skills for future use, get over any small amounts of social anxiety you may have, but you seem well put together already
