How do I explain to a little child ( 5) that something they saw should never be talked about or even told to their mom or dad?
Now this is what I call bait. You could catch a whale with this bait.
>>17501408
I didn't hurt her if that's what you are implying.
you just act as if it was normal, but ignore the situation.
Young children get their reactions from things from watching other peoples reactions.
If a child falls and hurt themselves and you look in shock, they will cry, as a pavlovian response.
If you just look at them normally and pick them up, they'll be fine.
If you did something like, got caught masturbating, just ignore it and move on, they probably wont care about it because they think its just normal.
If you make a deal out of it, then thats when it gets troublesome.
>Had a girl express interest in me through a friend
>thought she was joking
>think nothing of it for a couple of months
>i start to see her around often, always with friends
>she's cute
>like a lot
>don't have the guts to talk to her
>don't wanna add her on facebook and talk to her cause I wanna do things the proper way
>eventually add her
>couple of likes exchanged
>friend says that she founds me physically attractive but I seem sad/always have a long face, so she's a bit cold towards me now
Why am I such a failure ?
>>17501382
she was a normie bitch.
rise above Morty. Do it for the sweet 2d waifus.
>>17501382
Probably because you're a coward who finds the certainty of not trying to be more comfortable than the unknown of trying and maybe failing.
>>17501657
She's totally a normie. Turbo normie status
>>17501683
Dude, I wouldn't be on 4chan if hadn't some kind of problem. I've been in the army, I did some stuff, not your average r9k robot, but I'm not normal in any way. Probably emotionally stunted or smth, I can't approach grills.

How do I convince my genius-level child to do something meaningful with her life? Entered uni as a sophmore due to AP classes. Majoring in English (no jobs).. minor is Theater (less than no jobs).
I appreciate following what you're passionate about. Realistically, it will cost a house.. to be destitute.
What do?
>>17501362
The "no jobs for English majors" meme is false. As long as takes on internships while she's in school, she will be fine in the job market. We just hired an English major at my marketing firm. She'll be doing all of our copywriting and blogs and other writing-based shit that we sell. She's not anything special, either. My industry in particular doesn't give a fuck what degree you have, as long as you have a degree. Anything in the marketing field can be taught. The same holds true for any job that requires someone to be a proficient writer. Every form of business needs someone who can produce error-free work.
The most important thing for any college grad is entering the job market with at least 2-3 internships under their belt. A piece of paper doesn't mean shit. The only kids who get jobs nowadays are those who have experience. Real experience, not Old Navy or McDonalds experience. You get those in internships.
>>17501387
Thanks. I'll have Mom whisper this in her ear.
Follow passion not money
Bet you'd be a lot happier if you did that huh
Don't judge, but whacking it to girls just taking it and moaning is getting dull. The one night stands instead of dating adds to it.
So where/what do I search to find porn where it's pov and the girl acts like your significant other? Like she says stuff simulating some emotional attachment?
I'm judging the fuck out of you dude
>>17501325
I can't be the only person who wants this stuff. As far as stuff to be into, this seems so normal, so there has to be some out there.
Play otome games.
>suddenly developing feelings on a new co-worker
>she's great, hard worker and our personalities complement each other real well
>feel nervous to approach her for a few reasons:
>I'm one of her supervisors, as well as we have somewhat of an age gap (she's 18 and in high school, I'm 21)
>work frowns upon workplace relationships, however they're not banned
>heavily considering asking her out or to hang out since I leave work in about a month
How should I go about this? I posted about it last night which was helpful, but it was late and was looking for more input. Our schedule has us working tomorrow together, but we don't see each other for about 2 weeks after that so I need to decide
Like, am I overthinking the age gap thing as something bad or is it not a huge deal? Also, how do I even approach a co-worker romantically? SHOULD I even approach her, why or why not?
Bump
tl;dr
>falling for a co-worker 3 years younger than me, in high school
>not sure if it's the right thing to ask her out, and if it is how exactly to do it as coworkers
Last bump before bed.
Age gap isnt bad, she might like that youre older if you act mature as well. Chances are, if she likes you shes with it, if not you get rejected. Talk to her about stuff not work related then go do that stuff.
"What do you do with your friends"
"Smoke metg and skateboard! YUHHH!!! So sick life style CHEA CHEA!"
"Cool, i smoke meth and have a skateboard too! Wanna fuck up our lives together?"
But if you dont actually skate and smoke meth, dont be a poser. Real recognize real, grandad, and you looking a bit unfamiliar
I've been with my boyfriend on and off (mostly on) for the last 7.5 years. I do honestly love him and care for him a lot but pretty recently I made a friend and I started having feelings for him. I'm not acting on them because cheating is terrible and I would never do that... But idk what to do. Do I just ignore it or break up with my boyfriend and develop those feelings?
Me and my boyfriend are great together, but we've had a few really big issues in the past. friend of mine has a lot more in common with me and if I wasn't with my boyfriend I'd definitely date him, but I don't really want to throw away 7.5 years either. Thoughts?
>>17501264
you are a whore
Think very very carefully before you act on a feeling.
>>17501264
There is no fucking way anyone will ever have enough context to answer properly, that is, except for you. You have to decide for yourself.
Maybe this sounds pathetic idk
The last two people I associated with IRL I stopped talking to because they're assholes. I live in a low populated area and no one seems genuinely friendly. I had trouble enough getting my "friends" to do anything.
How do I make friends?
please help me out /adv/ I've felt so alone for so long
>Maybe this sounds pathetic idk
excuses
>The last two people I associated with IRL I stopped talking to because they're assholes
excuses

excuses
>How do I make friends?
By going out there and interacting with real human beings. If you can't fully substitute your social life with the internet, then going outside is mandatory. "They don't seem friendly" is not a good enough excuse to avoid making friends, because almost everyone is like that until you actually start having a conversation with them (including you).
>>17501534
It was not excuse. I only wanted to describe my situation. I have tried hard to make friends,but only feel embarrassed in return.I am not offering excuses, just saying what happened.
>>17501626
i believe you.
the obvious answer is to go out and meet people. but that's not what you need to hear.
all of our relationships are different to one another's. even if there are two identical people who do the same things and behave the same way, they are still two different existences and are positioned at two different points. therefore your relationship with either or both is going to be different. apply this to your thread.
>>17501254
how did you make those friends to begin with? maybe you were thrown into some sort of system that had a lot of of your generation in it. then you clicked because the way you presented yourselves to one another and communicated in general towards one another. you came to a mutual understanding using a certain kind of process.
my advice is to not sweat it. being anti-social isn't necessarily a bad thing. just don't stay socially retarded. you have to put yourself forth in the world enough to be able to know how to speak with anybody about general information.
having friends isn't necessarily as important as this.
it's not going to be some graduation for yourself one day. it takes a lifetime because you slowly become who you imagine yourself being as, and who you see yourself as.
So, this is a continuation of a post I made yesterday.
Long story short- met a girl on tinder, really hit it off with her, common interests, common friends, everything going real good. On our 3rd “date” I tell her that I really like her – she looks at me, smiles, giggles, I say goodnight and leave (Yeah, I fucked up).
After this she acts as if nothing happened, keeps sending me pictures/videos of her daily things, initiates conversations, invites me to events. So today I kind of “MANNED UP” and we spent good 10 hours together. I walked her to her place and as we hug goodbye, I tell her “You know, what I said before…yeah, I like you, romantically.” To which she replies “I don’t know how to respond”. I mutter something along the lines of “hehe, well that’s not the greatest outcome, but we’re good, thanks for the evening and cya later!”
So, what the fuck /adv/. I don’t get these silly hoes. She initiates, sends me videos, pictures, talks to me 24/7, we stay up late together, chatting and in the end I get this shit. What fucking gives?
>>17501235
Sounds like bad luck, OP, and I'm sorry that happened to you. Not sure why she is on tinder and then confused when you say you like her romantically, but I can guarantee you that not all girls on tinder are so silly. Keep trying!
She kept fucking mentioning tinder in our conversations too. I treated it as some kind of a "is-this-romanitc" type of mindgame, and baited her with tinder too in response.
Fucking honestly believed that this is gonna be it. First time I do this shit too, my last relationship kind of started up without dates/"I like you" 's and all that shit, so this is all somewhat new to me.
Feels fucking bad man. Genuinely a very big fall for me, I was really sure of this shit working out.
>>17501235
OP, either shes an attention whore, or youre not picking up on some signs she might be dropping that she does or doesnt like you.
My tooth hurts.
I have no money to see a doctor.
What do I do?
Get a job, preferably one that offers you dental insurance
Go to a dental college,they might offer a severely reduced payment plan, and sometimes free if you're willing to sign waivers
>>17501354
wow such advice
Has anyone ever thought of doing this? Just packing up and leaving everything and everyone and just starting completely fresh?
There's so much drama and worry in my life right now that instead of trying to fix the mass amounts of problems I thought maybe I could just completely restart in a new town, deactivate all accounts and change my numbers and emails and just forget it all
Has anyone tried this?
How did it work out?
Wow, I really would like to do that too. exactly for the same reasons, my house is like a theater with all the drama going around there and I really don't need that shit.
I say do it if you're independent and you're life is already shit over here.
>>17501188
Do it anon!
>>17501188
Would you write a note to tell everyone you are leaving? Or just disappear?
How to stop masturbating? My fap habits are getting out of hand, I'm masturbating at least 5 times a day and not because I'm horny but because I'm bored. It's one way I procrastinate things I have to get done and I need to stop.
Get a hobby. Go hiking, play Vidya, pick up an instrument. Also, as long as it's not impeding your everyday life then it isn't a problem.
>>17501367
Don't play vidya. Don't replace a bad habit with another one.
>>17501380
Oy mate. Everything in moderation. Vidya is great time waster that's at least somewhat productive considering it helps in upping general higher motor function.
I hate my job. I'm in school for international business and I don't know why. What's the secret to a job you enjoy?
be passionate about it, or at least good at it. If you are neither, figure something else out.
>>17501143
I'm not passionate about much. Video games, sleeping, culture, reading and writing. That's about it.
I'm confident in my ability to tackle large dreams once I have a target, but that's the problem, I don't have one.
halp
I always tell people, you never know when you could die. You could have a heart condition you don't know about and fall over dead. Someone could pull out a gun and cap you and you'd never know why, a fucking plane could fall from the sky. So enjoy every moment you have on this earth. Learn to love yourself or change yourself to that point because you only have one body to take you through this beautiful life. Be happy because you never know when your last minute could hit. Save money, but also learn to enjoy that money in the moment. I tell people this, share this opinion, I love myself, but why am I letting someone do this to me? Why have I been letting someone make me miserable for the past 4 months? Why can't I practice what i peach? Feels bad man. Share some feels people.
'cause you're a stupid predictable human :)
>>17501126
Confront the source of your pain. Solve the issue with the person or let them go. Your philosophy is positive, but if you can't reap its full benefit, then it's just a facade
>>17501147
I've been with my girlfriend for the past 3 years. I love her to death, I want to marry her someday, but she just has too many personal issues, trust issues, etc. which I've added to I don't deny my part in it, which is while I feel obligated to stay regardless of how sad it makes me, hoping someday that this will fix itself, but the thought of living until the day I die like this scares me. I want to wake up happy again.

As a senior in highschool, I am in need of some career advice. I want to become an Archeologist, that is what I want to do with my life, is becoming an archeologist as of, say 2020 a good idea? will the salary be comfortable? Do you have advice for an aspiring Archeologist?
>>17501101
yes its a real job, but it mainly exists in academia rather than the private sector. That means you'll need to go to grad school and become an archaeology professor even if you only want to work in the field.
Unfortunately I have no advice except try to find some cool stuff, and when you find it thank /adv/
>>17501112
Could I make good money with a BA in Archeology, Anthropology, or History, by becoming an archeologist?
Ex broke up with me a little over a month ago. Been going on dates with chicks from tinder and just not enjoying it. I miss my ex, and want to talk to her again. Unfortunately I deleted her off all social media when we broke up.
How can I talk to her again without seeming like a pathetic loser, or is that impossible in this scenario since she dumped me? It wasn't really a bad break up, no one cheated on each other or anything like that, she just said she wasn't happy with me anymore
>>17501046
>Is it possible to get your ex back without being a pathetic beta?
Yes. What isn't possible without being pathetic is TRYING to get your ex back.
>is there a way to get your ex back without being pathetic
Talk about an oxymoron
>>17501073
Can you explain further? Basically I do nothing?
