I need advice hard.

I need to decide whether I should take or not a college course.
Here's the catch: I think I don't want to take it, and I'm pretty sure I don't have the background to take it. It is a graduate course, and while I have covered the official requirements, I'm not solid enough to be fluent in this course.
Here's the problem: I will feel the greatest the desire to cut my wrists if I don't. Every time I give up on something I realize how stupid and worthless I am. I would be giving up something because I can't do it, and that's makes me upset enough to feel suicidal.

Here's the problem - part two: People there know me, and they have seen me once, because I went to ONE lecture. They will know that I dropped the course, and I will feel ashamed because of their realization of my idiocy. I feel they will be laughing at me, because I am the major idiot in my major - no exaggeration there, of them all I am definitely the slowest.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to go, but I don't want people to know I dropped, and they will if I don't go. I want to stay at home and finish the considerable amount of work I have to finish, but I don't want to live if I am to be the reason of everyone's laugh.

I'm also older than everyone in the course, which makes me feel even worse, because I should know better.

I also want to drop my studies in that field altogether. I have other studies in different fields. I don't want to drop them because I want to drop them, like I want to drop the aforementioned course, but because I feel shame every time I step into a lecture, and I don't want to be seen.

Another reason is because there is a woman, upon whom I had a considerable crush, and I still do, somehow. I felt shamed of being seen there by her, even if she is unaware of my existence, she is there to see me fail. Since she was in the same lecture my anxiety was over the top, and I couldn't think about nothing but to cut my wrists or jump out of the window.

cont'd.

I haven't talked to therapist in almost a year, and I haven't taken any medication since then.

I used to take antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds. My therapist thought they were good, she said they made me "less exigent with myself".
It may be true, but because I am not smart I need to be more exigent with myself than others, because otherwise I won't be able to do anything, not even make a my mind about something, like now.

I suppose I could go to the psychiatrist and ask for Xanax again. I used to take it and I could go to lectures Xanax'd. That may make me less anxious about being there, and maybe more willing to be there even if I don't want to.

I now I sound like a madman, I am aware of that...
Please help.

>implying people notice you and care that much

Relax, nobody cares. They're too busy with their own issues. Do you notice and keep track of other people like that or something?

Girl i am getting into never texts me first, even if i ignore her for a day, and i think she is messing me about. i have went on a handful of dates with her and fucked her a bunch of times. she also normally ignores my text from the previous day, and will only talk to me again if i text her.

the last last text i sent her was of me basically saying she was being apathetic because i felt rejected by her. its been a day and she still hasnt replied. do you think she is messing about, and do you think i should cut if off with her? it would be nice to hear another persons perspective on the this.

Hi /adv/, I have a question about painkillers.

I get bad social anxiety around certain people. I have read that painkillers can relieve social anxiety, so I was wondering this was true. I don't plan to do it often, but I have some low dose painkillers left over from when I had my wisdom teeth out a year ago. I know it isn't a good idea, but will it take the edge off?

I'd rather not. I'm asthmatic and smoking would fuck me up, especially because my doctor just took me off my inhaler to see if I can live without it. Like I said I wouldn't take them often, maybe every once in awhile.

What should I do? My neighbor is constantly beating his wife, I tried talking to her but she is very shy and scared of even bringing up the subject (I believe they are Muslims).

I thought about calling the cops but I doubt she would press charges against him, I just don't know what to do, literally everyday you can hear the woman scream from being beaten. I just can't sit around and do nothing anymore, help me out before I end up doing something I regret.

I really need some advice. I'm going crazy right now.
So I'm kinda a newfag. I was horny and searched for porn in 4chan. I wnet on /b/ and there was a thread with a picture of a girl laying on her stomach posted. There was no way one could it which age she was.

Anons posted that OP delivered good and that the these were some good pictures. Like the newfag I am I clicked on the link and downloaded the .zip file. I quickly realized the OP was probably samefagging and quickly stopped the download. The download never finished.

Now I'm worried. If it was a virus, thank god, nothing extreme here. But it could also be child porn. I absolutely don't know. The fact is, I never actualy fully downloaded the file, I stopped it. But I don't know if this is relevant or not. I was just horny and looking for some porn. I quickly checked my download folder and there was nothing there. I downloaded the microsoft antivirus to check my computer.

I really need some advice, because I don't want the police standing infront of my parents house. Considering it was child porn. I started the download, yes, but I quickly stopped it. I never owned anything and didn't look at something.
I'm from germany.

I'm really goiong nuts right now. I'm fucking scared.

I don't know how Germany handles stuff, but most of the time governments go for the distributors rather than the people who download it. You are probably safe, unless if you have any other suspicious activities. Like I said, though, I don't know how Germany handles things. The surefire way to tell if you screwed up is to wait.

Also, do yourself a favor and don't go on /b/, especially for porn. If you are going to look for porn go on the actual porn boards.

Chill out.


Nothing bad's going to happen.
Germany only screws you over with illegal torrent downloading, etc.

Don't think they'll even track you visiting 4chan.

And welcome to 4chan faggot.

When I was bullied in high school I used to fantasize about it a lot. I grew out of it after finding a close knit group of friends, improving my physique and generally loving life in my college years and beyond.

I understand why people do it. Sometimes it's definitely an overreaction and due to a lack of overall perspective (like people killing themselves when their partner leaves them or something). However, for people with physical or mental issues that make every second of existence pure suffering, I definitely get why they choose the easy way out.

The way I see it, we have such a short lifespan, and death is guaranteed no matter what, so suicide is pretty pointless unless you're really really suffering with no way out of it and not just being a melodramatic angsty teen like I was back in HS

Pic related is a girl who made it obvious she wanted to fuck me as soon as we get back to uni this year. Two days ago she said she'd be back at her apartment by 8 after having dinner with a friend. After we fucked I asked who the friend was. She said "This guy Kevin from one of my classes." I told her that I'm not one to be paranoid but that it's kind of messed up to take another dude on what he definitely considered a "date" only to hop on my dick after he drops her off. Should I put my foot down about her contacting him? What to make of this /adv/?

Wanting to fuck doesn't imply commitment or exclusivity. It's really not your place to tell who she can see and who she can't. However, if it bothers you, talk to her about it. It's not an unreasonable request to make and maybe she'll agree.

Help me /adv/,
I have a job that i love, but the environement is getting worse by the day. It's starting to really get to me. I'm losing appetite and i can't sleep anymore because of it. My bf suggested that i just give my two weeks notice and stay at home. I'm torn. We already live together and we plan to try and get pregnant starting next month. I actually wanted to keep working till the baby is here. But now i'm worried i'll stress myself out way too much if i stay and endure this crap whilst being pregnant. Financially, he'll be better off by the time we had plans to have the baby, so it would be a bit of a tight fit right now for me to stay at home. My bf has some savings and he said we could use that. I don't want him to spend all his savings, but it's so god damn tempting to be able to walk out on them and have a baby in peace. What should i do? Is it morally wrong to take on his offer?

Could you bring this up with your boss? If this issues is affecting you, it's possible it's affecting your co-workers as well. This is not an uncommon problem and different work places deal with this regularly.

However, if it seems like too much and your bf is on board with you staying at home, then there's nothing really wrong with it either. You might want to stay until you get pregnant and maybe until you start to get symptoms so that money won't be quite so tight, but it might be good for you and your baby if you take time off work. Keep in mind though that returning to work world after having a baby might not be exactly easy. Potential employers will ask why you didn't work and might get worried that you could quit and have another baby in similar manner.

What do when if you joke around you're seen as dumb and when serious you're seen as a bore?
Seems like being fun discredits you when you're being serious.
It's like I'm developing a bad reputation among my university friends.
What do in this situation? Have you ever had similar experiences?

Low charisma means you need to choose between Wizard Mode or Barbarian Mode. I recommend putting ranks in Intimidate and dipping into the Blackguard PC for a couple of levels.

>>17521661
Can you only do one personally at one time? So you're either the fun dumb joker, or the serious bore? Neither a mixture where you can crack jokes and still be serious?
>>
>>17521666
I don't understand these terms (probably some satanic shit you devil worshiping prick), but I don't think it's charisma; I'm surprisingly quite liked and social, which makes my post sound a little bit of an exaggeration. The point is that I seem to only expose the fun part of myself which deems me a retard, but no one discusses serious shit at the university; we're like tall midget kids here.

>>17521668
I can do this when one-on-one, not with groups. For example, I was talking about democracy and illusion of choice in the US and post-democracy (edgy, I know, but a serious topic) while actually smiling and making jokes. It deems me a retard.

One thing I should probably stop is acting ironically stupid because I actually have to explain that I'm joking afterwards. It makes me wonder if it's they're retarded or because they're used to everyone being retarded or something else.

Ok I'll cut straight to the chase:
I'm 20 years of age with a lot of health problems. Because of these problems, it's hard for me to find work. I have carpal tunnel+tendonitis in my hands, meaning it's hard to work on computers for extended periods of time. I also have lower back problems from heavy lifting during highschool. These are just a few of my health problems. What sucks is that while I'm focused on trying to live a healthy life, I sacrifice work experience and volunteering experience. Also im going to school at the same time which makes more complications.

TL;DR
Is focusing your time to become healthy, sacrificing work/relationship experience, worth it in the long run?

It sucks because I don't feel like I'm "living" the life I want; I'm not living an interesting life...yet.
Is there still time for me to work on "living"?

unless you're actually dying from something, yes, you have plenty of time. it's good that you have ambitions. you're learning early on what a lot of older people know - that your resources are limited and you can't do everything you want, or you have to do them more slowly.

what I would be doing is trying to find a way to focus on being healthy while doing one other thing well - in your case, school right now. then pursue friendships and relationships as you can fit them into your schedule, both time-wise and energy-wise. it sounds like that's all you can keep on your plate right now, and that's ok.

the thing about having multiple health problems is that if you neglect your health at any point, you could just send everything down the shitter and end up completely disabled just from the sheer combination of worsened health problems. so that's going to have to come first. hopefully in time some of them may solve themselves by going away, or become easier to manage. this has a better chance of happening if you focus on your health.

however, it may not get better. make sure you are seeing your doctor enough for your medical records to accurately reflect your condition. keep any records of incidents where your work or school was impaired by your condition. just keep tabs on it. then once you've finished school and spent a year or two trying to work - if you really find that it's just not feasible with your health, then apply for disability. you'd still be able to work part-time and earn a certain amount of income, but you'd have that additional income so that you don't have to constantly run yourself past your limits in order to have a half-decent life. I would consider that a last resort though.

do what it takes to stay healthy. look for more efficient ways to stay healthy, or more fun ways to stay healthy, so you don't feel like it's sucking away quite so much of your life. and go to school. you have 60 years to worry about the rest of it. gl OP

Thanks bro, seriously.

I feel a lot of pressure from my parents and my brother to start making myself independent and pursue my career. It's tough though, since I can never really do long sessions of physical work im sure most job options are limited.

It's just frustrating since I do want to start being more independent, yet as I keep living it seems that more and more complications seem to arise and I can never get where I want to be.

It's almost as if I'm behind where I "should" be at my age.

Hey guys, i need some advice. this is going to be a long post, i have nobody else to talk to. i wish the best on anyone that can read the whole thing

im 25 and my girlfriend is 24, we both live in Alberta (Canada). we've known eachother for around a year and a half, we've always said we're the male/female equivalent of eachother and our families get along great and are waiting for the day we get married

last January she lost her accounting job and was jobless until April when she got a temporary job that ends tomorrow, she was very angry and moody inbetween January-April but i passed it off. i have been an automotive technician for 6 years, since January my work slowed down and i got 1-2 days a week making $500 if that paycheques. i quit 2 weeks ago to work graveyard shift in a warehouse for $15 an hour vs the $30 as a mechanic i was making

when she lost her job in January she was living in her sisters basement paying rent, i live at home still. my father died when i was 21 and ive hung around to help my mom with housework because its a large house/lot. my mom who is the nicest person in the world let my girlfriend move in with us rent free, and buys us dinner and makes us meals. she gets along with my girlfriend great

since finding out tuesday her job ends tomorrow shes been bitter, to the point where when i gave her a hug yesterday when she got home she just said "fuck you" and walked away. i watched TV for 2 hours and she calmed down

today before i left for work she dropped on me that a friend of ours said he could get her an accounting job 2 Provinces over in Manitoba, she said it would last at least a year and its a government job which she wants. i said im kinda not cool with having a long distance relationship, she said "me and my ex were in one for 3 years, it was fine". i said im still kinda not cool and went to work

Well OP, I'm not you but she sounds fucking wretched. Cranky or not. When she maxed the ex comment I would've just said and that's why he's your ex. You either talk to her about her shit attitude or me personally I'd probably just a walk away. I don't ttake shit like that from anyone. Let alone unprovoked bull shit.
Also canadabro here also.
>>
>>17521603

it ate at me enough at work that i text her saying "im really not cool with it, cant you look for another accounting job here?". that and shes considered applying for the police force. i also said ive hung around the guy that said he can get her the job and he bullshits alot and i guarantee nothing will happen of it. she said she still wants it even though i dont want a LDR. i said "i hate to say it but if you take it, its stones to me. i cant do a LDR, you'll be on your own". she said she has no choice, i said why not get a retail job for 6 months here. she said that would look bad on her resume. i said "just let me know what you value, a job/money or family. a job wont take care of you when youre sick and care for you like family"

i then just said "im disappointed you value a job and money more than me" she said even though its a slim chance, she would leave me for the job because "the job will help 10 years down the line, you just worry about tomorrow hence why youre working in a warehouse overnight". i almost cried at work, the other guys asked what was wrong and agreed im in the right

i told her the truth which was my mom is ready to put $30k-$40k in renovations in the house and our vacation home. i asked my mom for advice, and she said im in the right for not wanting a LDR and shes very disappointed she would leave me over a job. i know my mom is ready to retire and move out and leave us this home worth nearly $1,000,000 and the vacation home to start a family. i have an inkling that my girlfriend knows my mom is willing to give us the house and im flabbergasted she will give that up. my mom said she will sell the house and move into a smaller house if we break up, and shes only keeping this big house because she thought we are close to getting married and starting a family

Sorry, man. That sucks. Won't say it'll get better, but if you don't want her to leave, make sure she knows what that means for you, personally. If she doesn't care, then it'll be a hard call. I personally made one a few weeks ago. Terrible.

Also hello, fellow Albertan.

You're not wrong in the sense that the vast majority of people will. It's a total personality thing. Some men that's their complete goal, some it's not. You may be attracting men who think that way. But in this day yeah, I'd say 75% of men are definitely looking to hook up on the first date. Just keep going, eventually someone will not push it and will look to get to know you better, without being a beta fag and what not, knowing that it's normal to wait a couple dates for sex.

I feel like my current gf of 3 weeks is kinda boring and a little messed.
Every time we go out all she wants is just walk or sit somewhere and talk.
It's not like she's all kissy huggy either. She just want to walk around, sit in the park or whatever and just talk.

Maybe she feels it's too early, maybe whatever but I don't really feel good about it.

Can I just ask her what she likes, what she expects, what she enjoys in a relationship?
Like literally ask her that?

I think she's a bit dense about it. She doesn't seem romantic at all. She also only had 2 relationships before and she claims her last breakup (around November last year) really messed her up and she felt she'll never get in a relationship ever again.

What's up with this thing, /adv/? I literally don't know how to feel / do about her. I obviously like her a lot but I think she's a little messed and can't function properly in a relationship.
How do I help her get more intimate, trust me more? How do I get more connected to her?

Nope, no sex yet because she's a bit prudish. I do plan to get her to my place next week and maybe it'll come down to sex.
