i have/had this friend who recently started belittling me for my life choices while framing it as though he's trying to help me. at least that's what it seems like. i'm practically a neet with an ee degree, i just don't see the point in being a wageslave like him. life is ephemeral and this whole notion that we need to do things as society outlined always irritated me. i finished my degree because i am genuinely interested in the topic but the workplace is a cult where everyone below the boss is a submissive tool.
anyway before he started making headway in his career we used to be the best of friends. spent a lot of time making fun of normies for being willful slaves to the system that uses them and peddles all sorts of bullshit to beat the dead horse they are and philosophizing and discussing politics. but now it's all about climbing the corporate ladder and finding a wife to settle down with him. essentially whenever i try to discuss deeper meanings of anything he tells me to shut up in one way or another. he is a very talented engineer who was unappreciated till he started playing the corporate game which is incredibly superficial. they don't care about his work but how he advertises himself and i know it eats away at him but yet he seems to be going though some stockholm syndrome. and i'm too immature now apparently. i want to be friends with him again but i don't want to throw away my principles like he did.

the principles that you are trying to hold onto are laziness
like it or not, society functions by people working. you can just consume resources and not create them if that's what you want, but it iis counterintuitive to

there is a difference between work and this wageslave system that treats people like cattle. i would gladly see this society crumble if it means we can rebuild it such that people are treated as human beings.

Your friend didn't "Throw away his principles;" he grew up. Which is what it sounds like you need to do. Phrases like "Normies," "Wage slaves," and "Willful slaves to the system" are what people who don't want to be responsible use to make themselves sound and feel enlightened so that they don't have to analyze their own life choices.
Your friend may very well be framing his advice in a way that comes across as douchey, but you need to get off your own high horse and stop thinking that you're one of the brilliant few who realized that working for a living isn't fun.
I lost my fucking wallet and I don't know what to do. I had everything in there, license, student ID, all my debit cards, my insurance card, at least 50 dollars. I've already consulted with public safety at least 7 hours ago and nothing back and I've tried to find it on my own for three hours now.
What else can I do, I'm having a fucking panic attack. pls help

Already did a little bit. I want the anticipation of something arriving in the mail.
I like old video games, weeaboo shit, desk toys, techy junk. That sort of thing. If I knew what I wanted, I'd just get it myself. I'd be willing to spend like 60 or so bucks, but getting a few smaller things would be cool too.
I can't decide what I should learn in college.
Mechatronics or IT?

That feel when I'm in a bar now with my family and there is one short (5'3-5'4), good looking guy (looks like Tom Cruise kek) who's friendly, laid back and just beeing himself.
I'm pretty good looking too (6'0, but it doesn't matter) but I'm torn by complexes and crushing self-doubt.
I wish I was like him. I wish he was my friend.

just grit your teeth and deal. All women do this shit but you better not mention an ex of yours. Women are always relating everything that happens minute by minute with what they did in the past and with whom and it runs out their mouth. If it happens to be an ex it still spews and how you feel never enters her mind.

Hey adv. Ex ended it with me two weeks ago and we've been textin here and there. Yesterday she texted me saying, "you still have pics of your ex on Facebook. Don't ever talk to me again you piece of shit".
Something about this triggers me so hard. She has a NEW bf and she broke up with me. So why would she hit me with this? I think she just needs trouble but ima stay calm and let it be.
Any advice as to where my mind should be at on this? It makes me anxious

So I moved to NY from CA for grad school and brought along my girlfriend who pretty much hates it here. She has no career options here and is homesick, but is sticking through it because she is crazy in love with me.
We have been together for almost 8 years. But I don't think I share the same feelings as her, and I still think I have feelings for somebody I met 2 years ago (in California).
Whats the nicest way to break up with someone like this in my position, I know it is going to absolutely devastate her, I am pretty much her whole world here in NY, as she doesn't really know anyone here other than her co-workers. if we broke up, she would likely move back to CA.

Wow. Why do you let her tag along and leave her lofe behibd to be with you if you don't see a future with her? You are a real fucking piece of shit and you know that full well. That said, tell her asap and then you WILL not blame this crap on her whatsoever and will do anything to help her get back home and get her life back. My god, anon...

Have you guys talked about it? What happened during the talks?
Friend of 4 years recently told me she didn't want to be friends with me because I was "toxic". I spent the last 4 years helping here through suicidal streak through suicidal streak, held her when she had seizures, and listened to all of her problems every night. I'm not bitter about her leaving, if I am toxic to her I want her to be happy and move on, I'm just curious to how exactly I'm toxic. I've never had any notable mental health issues, no criminal record, and no major emotional issues. Was she just lying to me?

No way to know what she thinks, but she may be following an instinct to "blank-slate" her life. She might need to do this, judging by her issues.
Prrhaps you can reconnect when she is a healthier person.
I hate living.
I've missed every single adult milestone. I'm 22 years old, no drivers license or car, didn't graduate high school, never been to college.
I don't feel like putting my whole life story on here but long story short, I have been homeless multiple times, and have spent the last ~5 years just floating around from couch to couch. My parents abandoned me when I was 16 and I have no family or friends. I've pretty much had to look after myself since that age, and I still have no idea what I'm doing. whenever I see people years younger than me with cars and going to college it makes me feel worthless.
I couldn't even join the military. They rejected me because of my asthma I happened to be born with. I am considered "permanently disqualified" for any branch of the military.
Life has given me exceptionally difficult circumstances. Everyone always gives me the same advice of "work hard and you will pull through it!". Why do I specifically have to work so exceptionally hard? I didn't choose to have "hard mode". I don't feel obligated to even bother. I don't feel like trying. I just want to give up and do nothing, and let whatever happens to me as a result of that, happen. Be it homelessness or death. I suffer through my crushing depression and loneliness every single day as it is. I wouldn't really mind if I got hit by a car tomorrow or fell in a ditch.
There's probably nothing anyone can say to help me. I don't even really know why I'm making this post. Probably because I'm desperate enough for the minuscule amount of attention and pity I might get from the 2-3 people that may care enough to reply to this post. Whatever. I suck.

If you're feeling suicidal, I have a better advice then just suicide.
Kill criminals.
Yeah, kill them until you get killed.
At least, you did something remarkable on your life and you possibly saved lifes.
Godspeed hero.

you're right, it's too late for things to ever get better.
you've wasted a third of your life and accomplished nothing. you should be feeling bad.

You'll have to understand that you only have one life, and you decide solely what you want to do with it, if i was in your position, i'd try to find something i really love doing, and keep on doing that

Alright /adv/ I'm on the fence about something. I have three options right now. Im good friends with these two cute virgin girls and I very much like both of them but here's the problem, one of them is O K, black curly hair, has my sense of humor, etc etc I'm absolutely positive she wants me and she has a relatively good personality and face, but she's a bit on the chubby side and I'd probably end the relationship around a year or so just because that's how I am when I'm not 100% into a girl. Then there's this other girl. She is my fucking literal perfect dream girl, personality and body wise, I would chop off my left arm and testicle to be able to spend my life with her, but the problem is, I know she at least likes me somewhat, she laughs harder than most do at my jokes, actively holds conversations and generally acts nice, and seems to enjoy my company, but I'm not even sure she is straight, let alone would consider dating me. Should I wait around until I'm more in shape and on better terms with the dream girl, settle with the black haired girl, or just stay single as to avoid any unnecessary drama just for some pussy?

Ask a femanon who just saw her husband through a year of grieving, depression, and probably nervous breakdowns anything.
I feel like I have learned a lot this year about grief, and love, and relationships. I would love to be helpful to anyone going through unbearable times, or supporting a loved one through dark times.

Should i tell my sister i'm depressed and want to kill myself?
Everytime i opened up i got screwed over but those bottled up emotions want out and i'm afraid i won't contain myself.
Experience tells me no...

>>17525741
I hate to give you a non-answer, but you really have to use your judgement on that one.
Many people will flip the fuck out if you say that. I am not one of them: it is my opinion that it is a human right to end your life if you want to do so. I certainly hope you don't!!
One fact to remember is that life goes on. It really does. The sun rises and sets, people are born and live and die, plants grow and bloom and etc. I find that comforting when my own little life is too hard to bear.

My friend and I have been really tight all through the last half of high school. He followed me everywhere I went and we were best buds. The other day we hung out one last time before I left for college and he was acting really strange and clingy. Before I went home, he gave this big speech about how he doesn't want to lose this friendship, and he gave me a bracelet that he wore every day through high school. The next morning he sent me a text that said something along the lines of "had fun yesterday, text me when you're back in town so we can hang ;)". Should I be concerned?

Does he usually throw you gay undertones?
>>
>>17525696
Talk to your friend man. You won't know for sure, and make sure the conversation is judgement free and positive. Maybe he's gay, maybe he's going to bang your mom, maybe he's going to kill himself. We're not in a position to know.
>>
>>17525715
OP here. He's all over the place. He's never mentioned any previous GF's or BF's, but he doesn't appear stereotypically gay in any fashion. We actually went to after-prom together (neither of us had dates for real prom, after-prom was just a big party at an arcade), and while there we played this shit-tier arcade game where you kill giant spiders or something, and at the end of the game you're ranked at how "in sync" your shots were. The ranking went from "strangers" to "lovers", and we got "just classmates" which was one of the lower rankings. He referenced it frequently in the past, and multiple times the last time we hung out.

>gf read my texts and is mad
The other day, I left my laptop at my college dining hall- and then managed to forget about it for the entire rest of the day, as I was going to art museums and movies with her. she generously offered to get it the next morning, which she did, as the dining hall is really close to her dorm.
The next morning, she asked me for laptop PIN (I'd locked it via iCloud) and I thought this was a little weird, (like why do you need to unlock my laptop?) but I thought she was just being nice so I gave it to her.
Turns out, she not only unlocked my laptop, but also logged into it, and promptly read my messages to a good friend on groupme, feelings about school, freaking out a little about life, and even venting a little about our relationship- expressing my frustration that I felt that she was always angry with me for some reason or another, and also expressing that "I don't know where I want to go with my life as a whole, I'm bored of my relationship, and I don't like the place I'm in, how lonely I am in it, and how few people I connect with here."
This was me venting on a very shitty day, where my words didn't really reflect a whole lot of "truly thought out" feelings- I do enjoy this relationship, and I didn't have any intention of leaving it- I was just feeling down and pretty frustrated with a lot of things.
I feel like this is a breach of my privacy, and this isn't the first time she's read through my personal things.
She's saying a lot of things like "just fucking leave then, I'm not going through heartbreak again, I'm fucking beyond furious" and I just don't understand why firstly, she would read through my personal messages, and secondly, why she would see a conversation filled with a lot of negative feelings about generally everything and not only take them personally but also decide to be angry rather than, at least on some level, concerned.
Maybe I have a victim complex, I don't know. what do you guys think

Wow you should break up with her. She obviously doesn't trust or respect you and isn't in a place to begin doing that either seeing as how she's ready to put the blame on you. Start dating emotionally healthy women.
