Yes, therapy can help. Also immersion therapy. It sounds awful, but given enough time immersed in the unfamiliar you adapt.

Hey /adv/, some advice for this sad piece of shit here?
Alright, so recently I got to know this girl from my college orientation camp and we got along pretty damn well. Fast forward to the first month of school and we've been texting each other over the past few weeks. It was just like any normal texts, mild flirting, asking each other about life and school and so on. She's going for a student exchange where she left about, 4 days ago.
So one day I managed to ask her out for lunch and she rejected at first, but offered to reschedule. In the end she asked me if we could eat the next day(I honestly thought she would just forget that I even asked). Even after that we still kept in touch. So at least I know it wasn’t a total failure. Thought I could really go for her right?
So a week later, I asked her out again, just one last time before she flies off, I even prepared a gift for her, nothing much though. We had a great time just hanging out. It didn’t feel weird. In fact, we had a great time. We still maintained our conversation.
Here’s where shit happens, after me and a bunch of friends from the orientation group sent her off to her exchange program, our texts became really slow, where it could take up to a half a day or a day to reply. It’s weird because she would still post on her social media, but reply really late. The tone of the message is still the same, not those one word replies. Funny thing is, I realized she would text another guy within the group of friends and not reply me while we were waiting to surprise her, which pretty much had me feeling fucked inside.
Which leaves me to wonder if I still have a chance. We’re still maintaining the conversation we had. I tried end our texting conversations so I could take a break from talking to her, but she still wants to keep the texts going, even though it would be a whole day’s reply.

So what, I should just drop it and stop talking? It's gonna be awkward as hell when she gets back and the group has another meetup right?

I realised that I am overly enthusiastic (happy and talkative). I find myself saying things too much that might've annoyed people. So I want to become less talkative and increase my frequency to noise ratio.

How do I chill the fuck out?

>>17527828
if people actually like you, i wouldent suggest changing. no one is perfect, we all piss someone off. being talkative and happy has its positives too, yeah, at times, you might piss people off but fuck them.
>>
>>17527828
Yeah, be yourself. Make some more alone time for yourself. I'm sure you're intelligent. Just focus on having internal monologues when in company. Practice makes perfect.
>>
>>17527835

This is the thing to keep in mind. If people like you, then no need for drastic changes.

However, if people roll their eyes or conversation dies after you open your mouth, then it's time to take inventory. I have a classmate who is terrible with this shit as he feels like he needs to comment on EVERYTHING the teacher says in a very loud voice. I think he has some shape of autism or just poor socialization from being homeschooled for most of his life because it seems like he just can't keep his mouth shut rather than being purposefully disruptive. She started having him keep a notebook to write down any comments that he may want to interject when she's talking, and he can make a comment out loud after he writes 5 comments or something. I think it's helping him moderate when he speaks out of turn because it forces him to process his words silently and slowly.

Hey folks, storytime, i'm your storyteller, 20/M 6/10 anon, not alpha but definitely not beta, i'm not afraid of talking to girls i realistically have a chance with. I've recently met a girl who was incredible in every way, maybe too good to be true. She likes going out with friends, to the same places I love, she's smart, witty, pretty and pretty much got me in love with her. For weeks we went out together, 3-4 times a week, and we always had a great time, with funny and meaningful talks and more. The furthest we reached was sleeping together, although no sexytime yet, just a sleepless night of kissing and talking, since we were crashing at a mutual friend's place. Then come last Thursday, when our mutual friend called, saying the grill and she are going to our favourite pub, they would love to see me there, and i could crash at her place for the night. I was down, i was happy, i went there, disaster ensued. In the 5 minutes i managed to be there, sitting next to the girl I was seeing, it was hard not to throw up. She was so stoned and drunk she literally didnt recognize me (or anyone at all, i believe), i dont think she noticed me coming and going. In said 5 minutes she made out with 1 girl and 2 random guys (later found out it was 4 stranger guys in total). I managed 5 minutes since thats how long it took me to get my best friend to rescue me, take me somewhere, and we got as drunk as probably never before. I don't think I've ever been that hurt before. Grill later apologized, and I know she was stoned and drunk out of her mind, still these are hardly excuses and the damage is done. We've been "together" (not even) for 2 weeks tho, and I am willing to give this another go if she wants to. However she kept telling me that she can hardly look into my eyes, avoids meeting and all that, and I can't help thinking she already has someone else. On very serious terms, do you guys think this could get restarted and made to work?

Also, when I say serious, i mean it: im gonna meet her in person, and tell her everything I think. If she's willing to accept my terms (such as cutting back on the wild partying lifestyle etc), that would mean I do matter to her, and then im down to a restart, but otherwise there is no way in hell i'm going to get together with her only to keep getting cucked.

Stay away bro, she reeks of being a cheap whore. Like you said the damage is done but if you take her back then you might as well cut your balls off because you pretty much don't have any as it is right now.
>>
>>17527790
First of all, her being able to make out with a bunch of random people meant that this mutual friend did fuck all, even though it was clear she was so smashed that she had no idea what she was doing. Same goes for you when you got there.

>definitely not beta
Unless you neglected to mention that you took some kind of action, this is what I'm getting from your synopsis here:
You fucking watched her make out with a girl and 2 random guys in the 5 minutes you were there and did NOTHING. If you are so in love with this chick, and care about her that much, why didn't you take some responsibility and step in? That's what people do when they care for someone, they make sure they don't do anything stupid when they're in a vulnerable state like that.

But to answer your question sure, go ahead if you reckon its worth getting back together with her. And if she regrets what she did and had no idea what the fuck she was doing at the time, then no you didn't get cucked.

Like becoming more social, joining interest groups to make friends instead, becoming more sporty, and enjoying meeting different types of people from different cultural backgrounds after going to college?

Yes, if you let it happen.

You get type-cast in high school, given a label that everyone assumes and you come to believe in. In college or work, no one has any preconceptions about you, so you can redefine yourself.
>>
Of course. Most people I know have changed since high school
>>
>Do people develop their interests and tastes as they get older?

It's a pretty obvious answer. Take me for example, at middle school I was fairly unfit and borderline obese, very unsocial and generally very reserved about drugs and shit.

By the time I got to uni I became the coach of a sports team, lost a lot of weight, enjoy a healthy social life and far more relaxed about smoking weed and drinking too much alcohol. People say I don't look different, but I feel very different.

i uhh... need that suicide crisis hotline they used to post here. read no further if not needed.

short version of my situation: i believe i dont deserve happiness/confidence because about 20 years ago i molested/felt up my cousin in her sleep (she knew/suspected what was up) and i uh... well, im generally a piece of shit

i used to be an academic, now im a barely-educated pothead with no ambition and possess no desire sufficient to change who I actually am. Chunky, dumb, and fucked up with medical issues. Irredeemable.

it can only get worse. Dont want to (god forbid) affect anyone else's life like i no doubt have affected my cousins' or to lead life as this horrible example/excuse for a person.

If my mom weren't alive i'd have an hero'd by now. I figure I dont want her to see who I could become, though.

pic is me. I am living garbage.

>>17527601
You should try to talk with your cousin about that. It is kind of weird, and more fucked up that you did it to her in her sleep, but to be honest the "hots for cousin" thing is a lot more common than people want to talk about. How old were you both when this happened? Have you interacted much since then? If you're basing your entire worth on this one incident, then you should clear it up with your cousin and yourself.

After that, go back to school or find a hobby or some shit. Hit the gym and smoke less.

>>17527696
we haven't spoken much since our teenage years. Seen each other for family gathering type things. I believe we were about 12-13. I did it maybe 3 separate when we slept in the same bed. I kind of touched her through her clothing.

...but how could this conversation possibly go? maybe she did realize what i was doing but had repressed it? that seems like a horrible thing to drudge up, almost selfish...

I guess what Im asking is, I realize: how do I actually handle that? I could contact her through facebook... a phone call seems inappropriate but what, do we meet over coffee or some shit?

all noted, for the record. If i could motivate myself to actually stop smoking pot and hit the gym i imagine i'd be a much happier person...c maybe i couldve forgotten about it or justified it to myself...

Start dancing a few months ago. See this one girl around, Sam, very cute but don't act on it. Barely talk.

Get good at dancing. Join performance group with Sam. Dance with her a lot as part of training and get talking, find we have a lot in common, she's very interesting and funny.

Share a long car journey together during which there's a lot of flirting, getting to know each other etc. After this night, begin to text a lot.

Go on a few 'hang outs' during which I stay comfortably in the friendzone. Go to the zoo, cook for her, go for coffee etc. Try nothing, feel frustrated.

One night go dancing and see her there. Lots of IOI's. At the end of the night tell her I need to do something and kiss her, she kisses back.

See her a couple more times the following weeks, but not in a date capacity; through dancing and social circle. Cold behaviour from her and no physical contact.

See her for big dance event that weekend, go somewhere private, grab and kiss her. Feels like a release of a lot of tension. Tell her I have feelings for her, and I need to know if the relationship is going anywhere. I get a 'you know I like you', but also some teary eyes and 'I'm not the great person you think I am'. Sam is very shy and she's religious; admits to 'sinning' repeatedly which causes her some self-hatred but she wont admit to what it is. I give her a hug and say we should go dancing. Have great night dancing and kiss at the end of the night, although notice when she hugs me she doesn't fully embrace me, but rests her forearms on my chest/collar bones, almost like trying to put up a physical barrier.

Ask her out to dinner for my birthday last night. Shows up a little late but looking beautiful, gives me a very thoughtful gift with a cute message. During the night mentions a lot of stuff we should do when she gets back from her work trip (a coffee shop she thinks I'd like, films we should watch). Great meal, go spend the rest of the night in a bar talking and laughing and flirting.

Walk her home, stand outside her place. Talk a lot about her work trip. She's about to leave without kissing me, although after saying she had a great time. Kiss her, and then she says 'I have to go'.

Sam has never been very openly affectionate, and I have had to make all the moves, but last night seemed particularly distant, but only immediately after kissing her.

Willing to fully admit I am breaking all the rules, I have feelings for her and am probably developing some toxic oneitis currently. From what you have been told (and please ask for more info if required), did I ought to cut my losses now and save myself some pain?

Thanks for your insight.
>>
Really don't see the super big cause for alarm here - she seems to really like you, but she's struggling with some inner things.

Don't just drop her for her "religious stuff", just stick with it till after her trip and see how interested she is after it.

It seems a bit early to say she's never going to be emotionally invested, she might be unwilling to show too much affection because her "sins" in the past might've been premarital sex that she let some guy have who she thought she could trust and then the fucker ran.

Just tread lightly.

Your partner is fucking you. Talk to your professor and throw her under the bus before she does it to you, or just plain brings you both down.
Though, from the sound of it you are already fucked.

>she's been in the class longer than I have and has succeeded so far

What the fuck does this even mean, how do you start the same class at different times?

Also, she's been shady as fuck throughout the whole process. You should take this as an opportunity to learn how people will quite willingly fuck you over. The only choice you have left is whether or not you'll take it sitting down.

This guy again. I just remembered something similar that happened in high school for a history assignment.
We had a big essay due, but this one girl in my class didn't have it done yet a few days before. So, she asked someone else in our class to read over her essay for some ideas. They send her their essay, and they find out a few days later that she just put her name on it and turned it in as her own.

why do professors do this shit? Even when all parties actually pull their weight group projects create so much unnecessary stress. I know they say some shit like oh it prepares you for the real world but now that I've worked in an office and been on teams writing 100+ page reports it is absolutely nothing like the bullshit group projects I had to do in college since there's always a person assigned as the team lead who is actually your fucking boss until the project is completed.

Its been years since I left school but this thread brought back all the burning memories of how much I hated this shit. Anyway as to your question depending on the prof he might still shit on you saying that its your fault that you couldn't make your partner pull their weight...somehow. But frankly I think you should go speak to him in person and explain what happened and in the interests of accountability you need to let him know about your partner's lack of integrity and that you did not participate. If you don't raise this issue and it's later revealed that part of the paper is plagiarized (and if it's blatant the prof will spot it without question) things could become difficult for you. Many schools have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism and will expel you on a first offense.

also, just out of curiosity what was your paper on?
