Getting tested for ADHD tomorrow by my doctor. I'm a 21 y/o male and I have never been tested for it / been prescribed anything before.

What should I expect from the testing process? Just questions about my habits / grades / family history? How likely am I to be denied a prescription?

Why do you want one so much? Do you actually think you have ADHD or are you just trying to "score"?

I think I have had it since youth but my parents vehemently insisted that I don't get tested back then. However I also understand how suspicious it is for a college age male to randomly decide he wants to be tested and medicated.

haha nice try dude i have it and i know ur full of shit

I'm going to the beach soon and I'm a fat girl

I was reading an article about what happens when you go to the beach and you're fat and this bit:

"I had expected that the majority of the negative reactions to my body in a chunkini would come from people close to my age, and I wasn't wrong. What was somewhat shocking, though, was that groups of twentysomethings or teens didn't see me. The young people who stopped to look, point, and giggle were often paired in twos as part of a couple. The most obvious incident happened when a young guy saw me, visibly dropped his jaw, tried to conceal his laughter by moving his head slightly toward his girlfriend, whispering at her to look at me, and proceeding to ogle. Once he got her attention, they didn't even try to hide their staring, and he certainly didn't try to hide his laughter. But what is most interesting about this is that it foreshadowed the couples to come. Three young couples in total looked at me mockingly, and in each instance, it was the man who alerted the woman to my presence."

Has got me scared of going. I don't know if I can handle being laughed at.

Advice?

I'm unable to do anything productive when I'm annoyed, angry, pissed off, etc.

With the way my life is currently, these things happen very easily. I have a job that I have to interact with assholes a lot and I have to take public transportation, which is great especially when the bus fucks off and leaves 10 minutes early.

How do I stop letting these little things ruin my mood so easily?

TL;DR : What should I do to cure my anxiety/selective mutism? And please no answers like "Just get over it and stop complaining about fake disorders you stupid fag boy", because I've heard that one too many times already and it's never helped.

I have had zero friends in the past 4 years. And I'm not just being overly dramatic and saying the people I hang out with aren't my real friends, I mean I literally have had zero people to hang out with or talk to whatsoever. When I was in high school, I rarely ever talked, and people never talked to me because I was the weird kid who never talked. I would go to school, quietly do work, then return home to play video games / use the internet. I talked so rarely that it became odd to hear my own voice.

Before this span of 4 years where I have had no friends, I had friends, but I always took the submissive role, keeping my mouth shut and doing whatever they wanted to do. I was still painfully shy and never gave my opinion on anything. Part of the reason I stopped being friends with my prior friends was because I felt ashamed of being the submissive one in all my friendships. I wanted friends I could be on equal ground with. Plus, I started going to a new school in the area, so I could easily fade away from my old friends.

I didn't make those prior friends by being extroverted and reaching out to people. Instead, those friends came to me, purely by chance. I thought the same thing would happen again, and I'd get a new set of friends who I would maybe be more extroverted around, but people rarely come up and talk to me, so I've been alone all this time.

I feel like my issues are mainly genetic, but there also has to be some environmental influence as well. At a younger age I was shy, but it seems as though today I've reached an even lower low. Spending so much time alone has to have damaged me somehow, right? (1/2)

When high school ended, I got a job as a cashier at a department store. I was optimistic and thought interacting with customers was my pathway to becoming a social butterfly. I figured I just needed more exposure to become socially confident and cast away my anxiety. I was wrong. Being around all these people just made me even more shy. Dealing with so many assholes and bullies opened my eyes to how scary people actually are. I used to think my social anxiety was an irrational fear, but having the experience of working in customer service made it clear to me that people are a rational thing to be afraid of.

I had also been taking classes at a community college part time while I worked. The 1st semester classes were easy, and I didn't have to socialize with my classmates at all. The teachers would simply lecture and not require the students to interact with each other. The first semester went well and I got straight As.

I was stressed out about work, but I enjoyed college and was proud of my success enough to keep myself sane. Then comes the 2nd semester. This time around, the teachers didn't merely lecture. They expected us to work in groups. The first time they had me work in a group, I was too nervous to concentrate, and I came across as a complete retard to my classmates.

I had a mental breakdown, and in a week I dropped all my classes and quit my job. I spent the summer doing nothing but mooching off my mom. I decided last minute that I would continue going to college in the fall, as I felt despicable just sitting in my room being useless all day. I don't know what I'll do if it's just a repeat of the 2nd semester. (2/3)

I want to be social, and more than anything I want a girlfriend, but I don't have the basic skills and confidence needed, and I don't know what to do to get them. People tell me to just get more exposure to social situations and to learn from mistakes, but social interaction completely breaks my mind and makes me recede into my shell even farther. What should I do? Should I kill myself? (3/3)
>>
I'm 4 years older than you and similar in a lot of ways. What's helped is being around people and interacting with them. Don't dismiss me right away. Like you I got a job working with people, but I got one in a nursing home which is a lot better for your social skills and growth than being a cashier because people are generally asses to cashiers. A lot of old people are very patient, and grateful if you take care of them and treat them with dignity. They're so patient and often take control of conversations that it's easy to pick up social skills from them. When you're a cashier you don't get deep interaction. You're not having conversations with your customers. I know, I used to work at a place like that.

If you get a job where you're interacting with the same people every day, things might improve. I know it sucks right now, but don't kill yourself. Just make small changes and see where life takes you. Try seeing a psychologist? That helped me see things in a different light. My GPA went up by 1.0 and I started being able to participate in group work (without it being painful, it was actually fun for the first time in my life). It's awkward, but it can help if you vet the psychologist first.

I'm still a shut-in loner with issues but I'm capable of enough charisma to come across well in job interviews, maintain a romantic relationship, and to not be seen as a weirdo (some of the time). I never thought that'd be possible at your age.

When you're older the not-having-friends thing doesn't matter as much. SO many people who had friends in high school and college lose touch with them, move to different cities, and find themselves alone all of a sudden. You'll be in a better spot than them because you'll have learned to manage being alone. If you work on yourself and develop interesting solitary hobbies (making you an interesting person) you can connect with those people in a few years. Most people are also so much less judgmental over small oddities as they age.

How do I get over the fact that I'm older than most people who realize what they want to do with their lives?

I'm 28 and currently working a crappy QA tester job in Los Angeles. Didn't graduate from state university til I was 26, something I'm kinda of ashamed of even though I shouldn't be.

It's always been my dream to live in Japan for a while, I've studied the language and I'm about intermediate at it. I'm hoping to move there early next year if I'm lucky.

I never had much ambition until the past year or so. Not sure where it came from but suddenly personal achievement is incredibly important to me. Which doesn't help because I've always struggled with some pretty severe ADD, even with medication and treatment.

I suddenly want to do something creative, like be an artist and live off an ability to draw like Ilya Kuvshinov. But I keep beating myself up because I feel that I've wasted the last 10 years of my life, and might not be able to catch up.

I actually lie to people about my age, because I look a lot younger than I am, and again I'm ashamed.

I'm sick and tired of feeling depressed about it. I come from a family of late bloomers, none of my family became successful until after they were 35, but I still can't seem to get past this. I just want to move forward, but how do I stop beating myself up?

Sorry to break to you senpai but the only job you could possibly get in here is as an English teacher. Unless you pass the jlpt n2 you will only be able to get shit jobs.

Think long and hard before you buy a ticket to come here. Life ain't easy here senpai.

If it's for pussy and you're white and somewhat fit then it shouldn't be a problem scoring. Waifu? Young girls don't want to marry, you will only find +35 yr olds desperate to grab some walking paycheck to pay for her to stay at home and fuck other dudes while you work.

Whenever i'm with a girl and we start dating, i'm very manly and attract girls easily with my sense of humour ...

But after a while, like 2 months of relationship, I become nice and more "patient" and behave like a kitten.

I don't know why but i become nicer and there is this girl who said I changed I become nice and that she prefered her exboyfriend who was more insulting and manly than me.

So i don't know. I need advice to figure if she just was a bitch or if i'm wrong by becoming nice and docile with time ...

Once i'm in love, it's like she has my balls and i start ... caring for her, like I don't want her to be upset or anything, i'll try to make her happy and all that shit ...

I'm not very very experienced with relations.. Had a few but they didn't work the way i wanted for those specific reason.

Thank you for your help.

Yes. Go to a fancy hipster restaurant in manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens, and AVOID Times Square. Seek out comic book shops and hipster art spaces, as well as major art museums. Consider checking out UN stuff. Look up what concerts are happening. Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan will likely have the most interesting things to check out, but also check to see if anything neat is happening in The Bronx. There is no reason why you should ever go to Staten Island, it's lame and there are some dangerous shaolin.

My Anxiety never seemed like an issue to me, but about a week ago I started working. Then it kicked it harder than ever. I felt constantly pressured, like every movement I made was watched and every mistake I made was recorded. I seriously spent the whole week holding back tears.

Taking it a bit more seriously than needed due to severe chest pain, I quit like a dumb pansy. The point is, I never realized how much of an issue this was for me. Sometimes when playing an online game I feel like this too, especially if it's competitive. This intense feeling that makes me shake and lose my composure. It's gotten really bad to the point where when I become aware of it it intensifies. How do I learn to cope with something like this?

Is it too late to start a 3 year University degree for me? I would be studying my favorite subject such as Western Literature and Languages plus a bunch of cool stuff like Medieval History and Geo politics.
I might be a late bloomer but Social Anxiety stopped me from choosing the right path for my life when I was 18 but If I'm lucky enough to get another shot at this I'm definitely going to make it count this time.
Any pointers? It feels really scary to jump back as an old man with all those teens running around. Will I have trouble meeting people due to the age gap?
Does anybody have any experience with this? I'd love to hear some of the younger guys too if possible.

No, it doesn't fucking matter. I had 30+ colleagues in college (I was 18-22) and they had no issue fitting in. No one treated them differently. Actually one of them was on of my closer friends in college.

No one cares if you're 25 as long as you're not socially retarded.

Why would you want to cut off part of your dick? Just do stretches if you have phimosis or something.

No, you don't need to. Yes it hurts for weeks and ruins your penis.

If you have phimosis, stretch it, if weird africans can get their lips around plates you can get your foreskin around your glans. If you HAVE to be operated on, just have them open it up, not remove the entire thing.

I live in a small town in Kansas where high paying jobs are very rare. I have no discernible skills besides my supposed intelligence and my highest form of education is "some college". I dropped out at the end of my sophomore year to start a research chemical company. It made a huge profit for the couple of months that I did it but the reward isn't worth the risk so I quit.
Anyway, how should I go about acquiring a good career? I'm open to moving anywhere in the US, and thanks to the internet I have plenty of friends in plenty of cities that would be happy to help me out in the beginning. I'm also an active member of Mensa and Intertel, those should look good on an application right? But where do I begin?

Well, you have some experience in the chemical sector, so I'd start looking there.
Having Mensa on your resume doesn't add that much, 'cause it doesn't list the skills you've acquired. You've got the intelligence, but you've got them to acknowledge your skills. So stress the experience you've gained.

This world is about skills and your college degree only shows that's you've mastered processing information, but what they really want to know is how you process it
