At the age of 17 already feeling lost in life. My A Level results will be released in a few days and the pressure is pushing me over the edge. Put my heart into these exams and failed miserably, it makes me lose all of the faith and will to live and i feel like my life no longer has any meaning to it. Have nobody to talk to since i live in a broken and i have always been the outcast in all of my school years. Honestly dont know what to do and i am starting to hate myself lately when i look into the mirror. Suicidal thoughts keep crossing my mind more and more often now and have been starting to cut myself lately, i really feel like a piece of shit who cant achieve anything no matter how hard i try. i have lost the faith and motivation to keep on going in life, i have always tried really hard in school to try to make something out of myself so i can become something i can be proud of but all of the these dreams and hopes are all gone now...... It is just too much and i dont feel like i can keep trying in life and to be rewarded with another failure. Why am i so useless?

You're 17, of fucking course you're feeling lost in life my dude

>>17461543
God I wish I was 17 again so I could feel lost again like you do

Fuck it I'm only 22, I don't want to end up wishing I was 22 again

I was in your position 4 years ago, A levels are the hardest thing you'll do, uni is a piece of piss after that and you can laugh at all the dumb cunts who get in through BTECs. Do a foundation degree to get maximum fucking around time and you'll feel way better. Towards the end I got a bit sad about having to go face the real world but I left the UK for the Netherlands a few months ago and shits easy, my point is to not stress so much, worst case scenario you end up on the dole.

I feel like my mind is always busy/racing and it's so fucking annoying.
Whatever I do there are so many thoughts/images/memories/experiences going through my head. For example if an image of a granny smith apple appeared on my monitor my mind would look something like this:
>apple
>>fruit
>>>grows on trees
>>>>tried to grow one in backyard
>>>>>didn't work, was upset
>>>>tried growing pine tree
>>>>>mom helped
>>>>>>mom had a green thumb, I never did
>>>>>memories of mother and I trying to garden
>>>>>>lessons of gardening
>granny smith
>>granny like grandmother
>>>memories of different media portraying an apple as an old lady
>>>>memories of different cartoons, computer games
>green
>>like grass?
>>also red
>>>like old room
>>>>memories of home, childhood
>tastes good
>>sour
>originates from Australia,
>>grows in many places including US
>round
>>sort of like a ball?
>>>images of green balls
>>>>used to play with balls as child
>gives goosebumps occasionally
>>memories of goosebumps
>>>texture of skin, bumpy goosebumps
>>>being cold gives goosebumps
>>>>feeling of cold
>>>>>images of winter, memories
>nature, plant
>>images of nature and various flora
>>>vines, flowers, moss, plants
>can rot, bruise
>>memories of soft apple, disgusting
>>love a crisp apple
>>worms?
>>>remember finding one in an apple
>>>>really grossed, didn't eat them for a while
>>>>apples and worms have always been together in different mediums

This all is happening simultaneously and within a fraction of a second, for everything I see. School has always been hard to focus and teachers would say I'm always "distracted". Hard to stay focused on anything.

Is there anything I can do to calm my mind down? Or even a name for this kind of stuff?

I get this too. Usually while reading. I read a book and in the middle of a sentence start thinking about some word -> get lost in thoughts until I snap out of it and remember I was trying to read a book. I'm a terribly slow reader because of this.

Does anyone else struggle with motivating themselves to do things? I run my own business which could be more successful if I could just motivate myself to put more hours in. Have other things I wanna do like learn to program, get fit, learn to cook, learn a language.

But all I do is sit around/lay in bed and browse 4chan, or watch tv. Hell I can barely motivate myself to play vidya anymore, or eat, or tidy up.

I need to get some shit done. Any advice?

Previously, I've sought advice on how to seek out women friends, girlfriends, etc. I've tried online dating and whatnot... and my friends usually recommend women I'd never date.

You guys said it might be the way I look, attitude, blaze blaze (pic upon request). What I've might've left out was that I tend to lean towards white women exclusively and that I am black/hispanic.

I've been alone for years.... and it's extremely difficult to find someone, even when I'm not looking and just doing me. What I have noticed in past experiences, though, is that black women, ugly women, and heavy-set women have no problem attempting to obtain my attention--- and I just ignore them and keep to myself.

There was even one case where this one fat girl I was hanging out with (just because I was bored) brought me around her really cute friend, who I started trying to talk to right away, but was obviously ignored. (Fat girl even went as far as saying we were talking (when we weren't) and that's what really ticked me off. We then mutually broke contact because of this (I was also mad that I couldn't get the nice looking girl) Fast forward until now, fat girl is having just as much of a hard time still to this day, just as I am, because she's fat AF--- meanwhile her cute friend can't keep away men. lol.

What can I do to improve my chances with the women I ACTUALLY want?

Spend more time around girls you actually want. Come on, this isnt rocket science.

Million dollar question
I was in a similar situation and I solved it by changing my thinking: instead of how can I get this girl I was asking myself how can I get more likeable? Would I like to hang out with myself?

So hey all. Basically I work a job I feel nothing special about. Its kinda slow now so not much to complain about . I want to ask for a raise because my work performance is pretty stellar. I am hesitant because my boss is super cheap...which leads me to this problem...Now if I don't get this raise I'm probably going to just say I'm putting in my notice. What would be the most appropriate time and way to do this...Ideally I don't think saying it right after the no to the raise is an alright thing to do(even though its really is acceptable)...what do you all feel?

Op here again.Also I kinda wanna use it getting busy soon to my advantage. I know they will be pressed for staff at this time so I kinda wanna use that to leverage the raise a bit. Sounds messed up but if my work quality has surpassed the actual pay then I think its fair.

How do people get badly addicted to cigarettes and how can it be avoided if you enjoy it?

For about 3 months I've been smoking 1-2 cigarettes every few of days in the evening and have been able to set firm rules for myself to not do more, and if I end up smoking a fair amount socially on occasion I can happily go as long as I want without it again.

How can I maintain this balance?

I'm same boat at you. A few times I actively tried getting addicted, and ended up grossing myself out from smoking.

Now occasionally, like once a month or so, I'll have a cigar.

I haven't so much actively tried to get addicted, though I've never really found it to be as disgusting as a lot of people seem to when they first try it.

For me it's something that I treat like soda. I am fully aware of how shitty it can be for me in excess, but I view very sparing use as being alright as I live fairly healthily otherwise. I set rules for myself and don't have trouble following them (Soda no more than twice a week, cigarettes no more than 2 every 72 hours), and wonder how people can spiral into full blown addiction.

Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances around. It changes your body chemistry so that you-with-nicotine becomes the new "normal" and you-without-nicotine feels bad. That's why a cigarette calms you. It is not making you feel "good". It is stopping the withdrawal symptoms of not having nicotine in you.

How do I stop having a crush on the worst possible person?

I know neither of us need each others' bullshit in our lives but I still keep finding myself imagining a life with her.

Like we are seriously THE least compatible two people in existence. Today we had an argument over portable phone chargers because I was asking whether the phone needs to be turned off to be charged, amd she thought I was asking whether the phone needs to be physically attached to the device. The language we were using has the same word for "shut" and "attached", but I'm always bad at explaining anything and she doesn't have the knack for just guessing the most likely option is of what my autistic ass is trying to say.

She's also the heart of my group of friends, so just trying to avoid her altogether would mean losing absolutely all of my friends in this town.
>>
And the worst part is I know she knows all of this, too, and she'd gladly take me if I tried.

Stop typing and just fuck her already. You two are clearly made for each other.

Would you rather buy a shed or a cabin. I have been thinking about starting a business building sheds or cabins and advertising them on the internet. But I'm not really sure what I should build. I don't really have a sample market to tell me what they would like to buy. So if you guys could shed some light on what you would potentially buy it would be helpful. Thanks : )

I don't really have much of a use for either, so neither? And you know you have to have certain qualifications to build these sorts of things and sell them, right?

if they are mobile I don't think any certification is required.

So basically you don't know what you're doing. Why would anyone want to buy some sort of structure off you?

I'm pretty sure I suffer from social anxiety after reading and doing some tests online but i don't know what to do about it. It's holding me back to the point I actively avoid contact outside my comfort zone and if forced into it my brain goes blank. Is it worth seeing a doctor and can they really do anything about it?

They'll give you some techniques and shit, maybe meds. Best method though is just forcing yourself into uncomfortable situations until it's somewhat bearable.

I'm 27 now, suffered with that and depression most of my life. There was really not magic "switch" for me, only way was to cope and alleviate.

Pick up a social hobby, hit the gym and exercise regularly, meditate.

If you're a boy you can take inventory at a sperm bank and see how you measure up.

If you're a girl, you have to measure the change in endorphins entering your bloodstream daily, unless you're a squirter.

Girl ive had a class with or homeroom with for almost 4 years, whose never said anything to me, suddenly noticed me and kept looking over her shoulder at me.

Shes pretty cute and I want to ask her for her number, but the thing is , i dont know if i was reading the signs right or it was something not that.
How should i approach her? I dont know anything about her besides her name. Would making flirty gestures if she keeps doing it help gauge her interest?

One of the saddest delusions of lonely guys is that just looking at someone or making "flirty gestures" somehow constitutes a relationship.

Write this 100 times, like Bart on the blackboard:

TO MAKE CONTACT WITH A GIRL YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY TALK TO HER.

If you have been in the same class for four years, it should be natural to say "Hi" when you see her before class or in the halls. And if she says "Hi" back, you say "You know, we've sat in the same home room for years and never spoken. I'm Jim" - "I'm Sally." - "Well, how do you do, Sally. Now that we're formally introduced, we'll have to talk more often."

And the next time after that when you see her you can chat about school or TV or whatever, and trade numbers.
>>
>>17461369
Thanks for the advice man
>>
>>17461340
Just force yourself into talking to her, put her in your way and just talk. After the first chat it will be easier.

Second encounter do something similar but make it obvious your purposely being around her, if she gives good vibes the. Third encounter ask for her number in a cute way, google it. If bad gtfo and move on.
