>not coming in to work
>I work from home

so basically you're going to a job interview while you're supposed to be working at home, and you need a way to account for the time?

>relative has eye appointment and can't drive because their pupils will be dilated, you have to drive them
>you have a blinding headache to the point where you can't even look at your computer screen (I know you said being sick won't work but that might, plus it's legit, sometimes when I get migraines the light sensitivity is so bad I can't look at the screen at all or I'll barf, it's not that uncommon even if you don't get frequent headaches)
or
>unplug router
>call work, tell them your internet is down, you're waiting for a guy to come fix it but they can't come til later in the day
>go do whatever
>come back, plug in router
>resume work

more possibilities:
>bug infestation, you can't be around while they're fumigating
>power outage
>washing machine flooded (or some other thing that has to be taken care of right away or will cause significant damage to your home)

obviously if you work from a desktop computer, you have more options than if you're using a laptop that could be taken to a coffee shop.

OP, I can tell you one thing: This has happened so many times to people. They end up in their 30's working a fast food place or something equivelant for minimal wage and live with either roommates or often parents still. And it's all because they didn't go to college. Maybe they did, maybe they were good at it, but no, they dropped it because of the same reason as you. They got bored.

Well, I'm telling you that you're gonna have to deal with it. Get your AA at least or a BA. Classes will be boring. Be thankful that you find it easy. College > no college in pretty much every scenerio.
Get off your ass and go to college OP. Your dad says "only if you did this at 18." Sure it's annoying but soon he'll be saying "only if you did this at 24" if you don't get at it.

Better late than never. Godspeed OP

>>17399927
Thank you, but another thing is that a lot of people say college isn't necessary, especially for web development. That I just need to have a few projects to show. I've also liked to draw, more so in the past, but I don't think I'm too shabby...

Or is this all hopeless hooplah?

>>17399961
If you really think you won't need a degree for it, then do it now. Try getting an AA though at least in a general studies degree. You can't go wrong with that, and it's especially good if you're on the fence about things.

You need to be able to rationalize your fear away instance by instance.
Of course this is not always possible or desirable; some people should make you wary.

You need to learn to better discern a person's intentions and merit.

What is the root of your fear?
What do you fear about people?

age, sex, role?

U wot m8

The healthiest diet that costs less is tubers: potatoes, yams, carrots.

Also eggs, milk, cheese are cheap and healthy.


There's unhealthy stuff you can eat that's cheaper though.

More importantly, how will you make money? If oyou have friends, get them to split rbills with you. Study something that takes 2 years or find a job where they train you on the spot.

>admitting that you're underaged
Now you can get kicked out of 4chan too

Get a job now and start saving money. The most important thing is to learn financing. Pay your bills first and make sure you're fed before you ever waste any money. If you can avoid having a car, that'll be a huge money saver too. As for food, you can buy rice and chicken breast really cheap in large amounts.
I hope you're not one of those idiots who doesn't know how to do their own laundry and realizes all of the "little things" needed for living on your own, IE a shower curtain, a sponge for the dishes, trash bags, etc.

>>17399851
Help you how? Sounds like they're letting you live with them for free you ungrateful little shit.

>get job
>save up money, atleast $5k, preferably more
>line up a place to live in western city of your choice
>when you get there find a job asap
It's hard to do without a support network and without a job lined up but it's obviously possible, people do it. You just need to have money first because sometimes finding a job can take a long time and without savings you'll be on the street. Being homeless is a real black hole.

What part of NY btw?

>>17399910
I have no place to work locally and I don't have a car so getting to a job to save that mo eyes in not likely. Yes I have a place to live but with no work or anything to put my mind to. I find myself feeling miserable and useless. It has led me into spiraling depression and it cripples me daily. Was curious if there was any advice or knowledge on programs or something like that. I live in Rochester, Ny.

stop

>>17399838
Don't stop

First thing I did right was that I accepted the feelings. You can be just friends, or you can be more. But you can't be just friends and trying to be more. You've got to set yourself a goal, the way I thought about it was: YOLO! It is an opportunity to experiment, try something different. I don't think trying to be just friends would have been better, I think it would have made me a stuttering mess. Because supressing all those drives makes it really hard to make conversation, it is much easier to ride the storm if you know you're sailing in the right direction.

The second thing to keep in mind is that this is gonna take time. You're not gonna make someone accept taking dick up their butt in a week. It is like inception, you have to plant the idea and let it grow. There are several other types of intimacy that needs to be set in place before it gets even remotely physical.

I know. All we can do is commit suicide or go through our lives. Thanks to video games, anime and all media we are less bored now. Without it we'd rely on sports. Without that we'd have nothing but suffering to deal with and survival.

>>17399848

yeah but i need a good career which pays me well so im working on that but school is taking forever, fuck

Next time you see her, climb out of the pool, walk over, say hi, act confused when she laughs, realize to your horror that your swim trunks slipped off and pool shrinkage was in full effect, live out the rest of your life alone with the unfair reputation of tiny dick. It's not complicated.

>>17399844
thanks

Anyone lurking?

Does she realize it's a date? You can't declare it's a date mid-excursion, you have to declare it beforehand.

>>17399822
There's goid chance she knows already; read the signs, make it fun and go in for the kill if the opportunity presents itself. Beware, however: old friends aren't always good couples. Best of luck.

>>17399837
>You can't declare it's a date mid-excursion,

I just laughed out loud thinking about this.

>>17399806
That's not a bad thing. That just means that the game is doing a very successful job at creating atmosphere. I just finished playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and I felt an extreme sense of urgency during the last mission, even though none of the story is actually timed.

>>17399832
Huh...never thought of it like that. The reason I asked is because I always get unnecessarily scared over such trivial shit in the game. I see all these videos of people running around with all those people around, doing really well, and I'm fucking shitting myself in a corner because I'm trying really hard to memorize guard patterns and stay out of getting caught. I want to calm down, but how can I?

Cont.
As i said it's been getting worse as time goes on. Am i fucked for life or should I see a doctor? Am i overreacting?

tl;dr i stimulated passing out and got a minor concussion doing it and after effects have been occuring for months and getting just worse
Pic unrelated

When in doubt see a doctor dumb ass.

could be anything or nothing when it comes to asphyxiation and a head bang.

Anyone have advice?

>>17399769
I know. your problem

>>17399883
I have advice, I know exactly what you have.

>>17399763
Stop being an Emotional parasite. You are clearly gunning for more attention rather than problem solving. Eventually he will stop caring. And then who are you gonna bother with your attention whoring then huh?

>>17399773
How am I being an emotional parasite if the only thing I want is being sure someone will be ok??

Dont be fucking stupid. People care about you and if you kill yourself you will hurt them. Thats something you have to accept. Just do it.
