My boss's dad died, I don't really know him too well and only started a few months ago. He's a busy guy and we haven't interacted much. But I can see he's a really nice guy and I feel horrible for him, my stomach absolutely sunk when I heard the news from a coworker
What do I do? It's a professional environment so I don't want to cross boundaries but I mean come on he's a human and I'm a human too. He's way older than me though. But what do I say?
"I'm sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking of you and your family during this awful time"
>>17491540
imsorry for your loss
He doesn't care what you have to say to him. He has more significant things on his mind right now.
Just make it quick or completely avoid him all together. It will be the best thing for both of you.
Anxiety has taken over my life. Anxiety and panic are constant. But recently its gotten to the point where just standing up makes me feel short of breath. I feel like im dying all the time, sometimes for whole days. Can anxiety do this? Ive never heard of it being that severe.
Yes, anxiety can do this. It has a wide range of physical symptoms and being short of breath is common. You should see a doctor if it gets worse or if you feel your life is in danger, but putting that aside, yes anxiety can be very crippling.
>>17491501
My symptoms have gotten worse and i do feel like my life is in danger all the time. Ive been to the ER a lot because of it.
Why not get medicated? Then you can figure out a plan to reduce it naturally.
GUYS I ACCIDENTALLY LIKED SOME RANDOM GIRL AT MY SCHOOLS TWEET!!!!
I UNDID IT STRAIGHT AWAY BUT WILL SHE FIND OUT??
TELL HER THAT YOUR CAT WALKED ON THE KEYBOARD AND LIKED HER TWEET. TELL HER YOUR CAT IS BLACK AND WHITE AND VERY CUTE. THEN ASK HER IF SHE WANTS TO FUCK.
>>17491488
I DONT EVEN WANT TO FUCK HER
SHES A HUGE SLUT FROM WHAT I HEARD AND NOT EVEN HOT
THE ONLY INTERACTION WE EVER HAD WAS ME SWIPING RIGHT ON HER TINDER AND NEVER MATCHING WITH HER
GOD IM GONNA DIE
>>17491494
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE. REMEMBER YOU CAT DID IT. HE WALKED ON YOUR KEYBOARD LIKE AN ASSHOLE. ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK HER? MAYBE SHE HAS A NICE PERSONALITY, UNLIKE YOUR CAT.
Makes me paranoid that people dislike me
I've been a loser shut in all my life, I spent a lot of time recently preparing myself to break out of it and in the past few days the results have been amazing
I can get into parties because I know people, get girls to grind on me with ease, went from hugless kissless virgin to just virgin all in the past few days
But tonight I was meant to go to another pre-arranged party with this fraternity full of cool guys I mesh with, but shit got weird, no one was there, and this girl that wanted me to meet her there said it was somewhere else
Long story short for a while I couldnt find it and started wondering if people were fucking with me, turns out people left the original spot to go to some new place and the majority of the fraternity guys scattered to the wind and only like 2 or 3 guys that I actually recognized were at this new place
Random girls were asking if I was X, started wondering were people talking shit about me
The few guys I knew smiled at me and talked but didn't seem as enthusiastic as in the past, started thinking I had pissed them off somehow
Also some girl said "I know him he's cool let him in"
When I think about this logically I want to say that sometimes plans go awry and shit happens and the fraternity dudes just couldn't get organized tonight, so I went to a random place and a few of them drifted there, I danced, got grinded on once (didn't really try to tonight), talked to some people, and made some general low key social gains
The paranoid part of me says lack of a bunch of people acting all buddy buddy with me and exchanging contact info = failure you fucked up game over
Am I just having a panic (autism) attack or am I right?
>>17491472
This kind of banal shit puts me to sleep
>>17491472
real gains like a "best friend" or a girl who is really into you creep up anyway.
getting out and being active is always good, and will of course get you very far. Just remember to be a real person and not a facebook friend collector, because wiser men know that's not what really counts.
what really counts is those people who are going to matter in your life, not a girl that grinded on you at a party you'll never see again.
but it's understandable to want positive affirmation, especially if you've never had sex. just remember to be a dude about it, and try to focus on more aspects of life than other people giving you tiny slivers of approval.
I'd take one real friend over about a hundred "ha ha yeah he's a bro" comments from a frat guy. being in a frat is another story entirely.
the fact you're getting female attention and being invited to places the frat bros are means you're not a lost cause or any of these fears you have
my only concern is that when you get the real important friend or girl, you won't know what to do with it. that's the case with most people until they get a little older.
>>17491484
I really have no idea how all these random people that I don't even know know who I am
And also why are random girls smiling at me I didn't even do anything
Shit
thinking of trying a type of drug to expand my mind, recently ive had a lot of problems mentally and i want to stop thinking so much about this shit all the time, especially when im around other people, i need something to change my mind. Any idea if shrooms or acid might help?
Acid will, most definitively.
>>17491441
In my experience, the worst time to try any psychedelics is when your are trying to fix something in your life..
>>17491450
Did it make things worse?
I hear even if its a bad trip or something you still come out with a better mind on things, even though the trip is shitty as fuck
Alright /adv/ here's the deal. About a month ago I went out with this girl who frequents the same places I do. On our first date she told me she had been watching me for a few months, we had a lot in common and told our life stories, hers was really sad. We texted and talked on the phone a lot after, On our second date we banged each other senseless. On our third date we banged again and after she started telling me how the world is controlled by a shadow government, 9/11 was fake, the US government puts drugs in the water to control us.... You get the idea. To me this is not the kind of girl you break up with. So I began using her past relationships to make her want to stop seeing me, First I told her that since we were fucking we were a couple, she agreed. Then I made her think I was needy/controlling she adjusted her schedule to fit whatever I wanted. when that didn't work, I told her I had major trust issues, she began showing me all her texts and emails. Finally I told her via text that I beat my ex, Finally she told me she didn't want to see me anymore. I now feel bad and think I should have just told her she was crazy and stopped seeing her. What do you guys think?
>>17491429
I should have been more clear. Did I do the right thing or should I have told her the truth?
>>17491442
You should have stopped seeing her after she told you, she had been watching you for a few months
>>17491642
Yep, that was quite a large red flag op.
What is a good job with decent income that doesn't require trade school or 4 year college degree?
My stocking job isn't cutting out for me.
a technical degree from a college
you can not want a college diploma, but refusing to step into a college or trade school in search for a profession is kind of silly
lots of schools offer technical degrees in dental hygiene, mechanic introductory programs, medical secretary like stuff
>>17491468
really about 20-30 things I don't remember off the top of my head that take a month to two years to learn
>>17491425
>doesn't require trade school or 4 year college degree
Then you must have a ton of experience in the field you want to be in? Otherwise trade/undergrad school is necessary..
so i dated this guy for a month, we broke it off because he realized he wasn't ready for a relationship yadda yadda yadda. i was disappointed but not heartbroken. he was insistent on being friends but i thought it was best to cut ties, though i still have his number. lately i'm super fucking horny and interested in being fwb with him, but i have no idea how to start the conversation. i'm also worried about it being awkward, as i've never done this sorta thing before. any advice? how would you approach/want to be approached in this situation?
>>17491422
I'd want you to not approach me to use me for sex and instead advise you to deal with your sexual desires in a way that doesn't exploit someone else
There isn't any trick or secret to it, you have to grab the bull by the horns and ask him directly. Don't drop any hints, don't play any game. Contact him, exchange news, describe to him a FWB relationship and ask him if he is interested.
>>17491447
>exchange news
like ask him how he is?

I bathe this thread in flames from the fires of the Inquisition of Pegasus
i'm a 25 year old hugless kissless virgin
i know it's all over for me, my question is just if the girls itt would please say something nice to me, i know it's fucked up but i really have nothing going for me and it hurts so bad and i just want a girl to be nice
Re posting
Guys (or girls, or anyone really) how do I make my boyfriend less squeamish when it comes to touching me? We are both virgins, known each other for a year but have been dating for about a month and a bit now.
We have basically been sleeping over every night, but whilst I'm pretty confident with blowing him off and that, he has only touched me down there twice (only for a minute or so) and when I stated that he could go down on me he said it was weird.
Anyway I can ease him into it? I feel a bit odd that its me doing all the touching all the time...
I think I get it now
Having kids is amazing because you can relive your childhood through them and do all the things with them that you wished your parents did with you
Is this the secret?
>>17491402
Robbing your child of their free will is a great way to create a serial killer
>>17491433
This probably
>>17491402
Kind of, but you don't need a lifelong commitment to do that. Just do what I did and work at a camp during the Summer. You'll be amazed how much "kid stuff" you can do without any permanent responsibility to them.
I'm in a complicated situation. I got set up on a date by multiple people with this girl. It sounded like a good idea at first, and I have about three weeks to plan this, but I'm really not all that interested anymore.
She's currently sober, vegan, and gluten free until mid October. I'm none of these things. I need to come up with a date that sounds fun given that. She doesn't mind if I eat meat or drink booze, but I want to give her a chance, since so many people think I'll like her.
Any ideas? I'm going to go into this with super low expectations, so I'm not nervous, but we have a lot of eyes on us and I don't want to just be a pure jackass and take her to Panda Express or something.
We're both 30, if that counts.
Why is she only all of those things until October?
>>17491396
Well, she's vegan always. I can handle that, I think.
The gluten and sobriety is for a wedding, so she can be in shape in her bridesmaid dress.
>>17491406
>The gluten and sobriety is for a wedding, so she can be in shape in her bridesmaid dress.
Sounds like she lacks self-control unless she goes cold turkey if she needs to monitor what she eats like that.

>about to transfer from a community college to a 4 year university
>major computer engineering
>absolutely no coding skills what so ever (just started to learn on my own like a week ago)
how fucked am i ? i really like this major
>>17491362
Look at Project Management or UX you don't really need deep programing knowledge for that
Business Analyst same story
>Assuming all you did was general ed
If coding is in your major you're going to have to learn how to code, but instead of paying/doing it through a community college you'll be doing it at the university.
You are only fucked if you some how cheated your way into passing previous classes you're supposed to build upon.
>>17491362
The program is designed for someone like you to learn it 4 years so you're fine, so many people go in with prior coding knowledge only because it's a skill you can learn easily on the internet unlike other disciplines.
Only about a year and a half will be spent learning the code. Really your personality matters more than your experience. If you don't like the first or second year start looking at other careers.
Hey /adv/, so I'm gonna cut to the chase; I want to make money off of porn videos, with me included in it along as the rightful owner of them. So far, I've drawn up the idea of booking cheap hotels and setting up cameras around the room. The parts that concern me is finding the websites that'll pay me to upload the videos and finding other actors/actresses to participate. Those who are experienced are more than welcome in this thread; moralfags, pls ignore
>>17491298

post samples bitch
make your own, obviously.
free samples please - may as well, gonna be on the internet soon anyways, right?
>>17491298
There are two ways to start in porn:
- Go casting in a good porn studio.
- Find some nerd that helps you to build your own site.
If you are afraid of the people that would see your videos and that is the reason you want to start your own page, beware, you dont know if the owner will post that video on wassup, even if you warn and say you dont gonna do more videos to him/her the harm is already done to you.
The best advice I can give to you is go to a porn studio, ask there the people is nice even if you say that you gonna start your own page. After that you may decide with more information about the issue,
Take care of the people that you involve in this, if you hurt someone you could hurt youself
