Look for the track marks.
They've almost all got them, and it's always depressing when you find them.
Hey adv, i've been very lonely and only now i have realized it. if im not in the gym i spend my time in my room watching youtube or jacking off.
I was bullied a lot in middle school because i use to be really fat and i feel like that has really put me down, im in a new school recently because i was expelled and im trying to get my shit back together.
I want to be an engineer when I grow up but i barely study right now, this has affected my grades a bit.
i've heard this movement called "no fap" and i've heard it helped people get passed their depression or anxiety. If I do no fap will I be more motivated to get my shit together?

Masturbation is not the cause of your problems, it is a symptom. It's not like if you stopped jacking off, all of a sudden you would learn how to be sociable- If you want to stop it won't hurt, but don't expect it to cure all of your problems. A better way to get out of your shell is to get involved on campus. Join a club, group, extracurricular activity, anything. Being invested in something that other people are invested in forces you to be more sociable and puts you into situations where you have opportunities to talk to people.

The way I see it, fapping is just something we do to comfort ourselves. If you quit, you have to find something better to replace it, like a hobby, dedication to some cause, a close friendship or relationship.

Right shoulder has been sore/sensitive for months, when I raise it straight out sideways, like doing reverse flys. Yesterday I did a cardio kickboxing class and we were throwing elbows for the first time, and today my left shoulder is sore in the same spot as my right has been, except all day. Should I go to a doctor or what?
Would go to /fit/ but I don't feel like getting hassled for not lifting. I don't like lifting. I like kickboxing.

Classic supraspinatus tear. Actually quite rare to tear the deltoid, and that only take over abduction of the arm later on (before the trapezius comes in to finish off the end of the arc)
As well being a medfag, I've actually had it myself from the gym. Importantly you have to rest it. I tried to 'train around' it but I reckon that extended the recovery time from what would have been two months, to around four
The good thing is that it's rarely bad enough to need surgery. Apparently the younger you are, the longer the recovery time, but you get complete repair. Older people don't take as long to recover, but lose function of it
Only take pain relief when required, and don't take ibuprofen daily for months on end
Should you go to the doctor? They 'probably' won't do much initially, but it does allow them to see a timeframe and tell you to come back in X months if it doesn't improve so they can refer. So if you have the NHS or health insurance, then go for sure. If not, and you don't have money (fuck sake, USA), then I wouldn't worry too much unless it's not better in the coming months

thanks anon. I do have insurance right now so I guess I'll go see what they say.
So I got this friend. He always plays victim in every situation. Like when he overdosed on Xanax and I told the guy don't take the whole bottle, he takes the whole bottle and expects me to bail him out. Or when he was an RA and he got caught selling minors alcohol and supplying it he blamed other people on "spying" on him. Or like tonight. When he clearly told me yeah I'll buy you a pint buddy. And when it comes to paying the bill he looks at me crazy and gets all defensive saying he never said he would buy my drink. I've given him so many chances and it always ends up the same. So guys, do I just stop hanging out with this guy, cause I'm sick of the inconsistencies

Youre friend is responsible for his own life;mental health.
Keep yours from getting stained with his mumbo jumbo xanax shit.
Let the faggot go
So I just started tinder and I'm honestly afraid. I don't know anything about these people and you're expecting me to judge them simply on a small amount of information?
Can people match with me if I close the app and don't play? I don't know how this works
Also it pulled all the pages I liked from fb, how do I make it stop that shit

Clean everything up, obviously.
Talk to him about the cords.
Spray some rodent poison around the OUTSIDE of the basement windows to ward off bugs and shit
As far as the bathroom goes, if you have to share it's always gunna be gross.

>We had a history a year ago. Nothing official but dated around
>Separated because our schedules really conflicted
>Been on my mind since we separated, really fell for her
>Says she'd "love to be friends"
Usually I can pass it off as her just brushing the whole thing off, but this is a girl I actually got to know. She told me she had feelings for me. Things just got in the way.
I wouldn't mind keeping in touch with her, as I just needed to hear what she said for closure, but I'd only want to keep in touch if it was genuine and not out of pity. How do I go about finding this out? Would it be bad to just ask her "I'm fine with being friends, but are you suggesting keeping in touch as friends out of being genuine, or because you feel bad about how this conversation went? Like I said, I'd be fine with being friends, but I feel like you're proposing a friendship out of pity."

Here's a really wild idea: Why not consider the possibility that she means exactly what she says, with no secret hidden meanings?
"Neither of us was ready for a relationship back then. Maybe something could happen now, but let's start off just seeing if we can be friends, and let whatever else happens happen or not in its own time."
>>
>>17381262
I normally would consider that, but I've been lied to for the sake of "protecting my feelings." before from women. I know women aren't all the same, but usually there's a pattern at least in my experience, even when telling them to be honest with me.
"No problem, I just figured it was worth a shot. As for the being friends bit, I'm not sure. I've got no problem with keeping in touch with you, being friends and such, but it seems like you're just extending an invitation to be friends because of how the conversation went. I'd really like to stay in touch with you, even if it's just platonically, but I want to make sure that you're not saying this out of pity."

Why can't I fall in love?
I've done it twice before, but I've been single for over two years and I just can't do it again. It's really a great feeling, even though it has its downsides. I just want to feel that again, but instead I just feel numb.

I have the same problem. My problem is that I've turned social interactions into some kind of huge strategy game about maintaining a reputation, instead of actually being myself and having genuine interactions. I hate myself so much. Oh, and for the picture, use this.

Love hurts.
When you both sit there and no amount of love for each other can fix the problems in your relationship.
I dont know why i keep letting myself fall in love. It always hurts so much when it inevitably ends.
Teach me your cold hearted ways.

>>17381139
I fell in love once and it was the greatest feeling in the world until it came crashing down upon getting rejected. I've never been the same since, romantically speaking of course.
Nowadays all I can feel is attraction but not the flowery feeling of love. I'd like to fall in love again but getting rejected broke my heart, even though it was 7 years ago.
I'm in a corporate gig with management duties, recently promoted. I've been in management in lesser capacities in the past, like high school yearbook, retail management, and at my last job, marketing management.
I have a tendency to date my subordinates... Which is not that big a deal in HS or retail, but in my company and my position, would be a huge mess. I'm hiring someone to work very closely with me, and a girl I've had a thing for since week two of working here has applied, and is likely the most qualified candidate.
Were it not for her boyfriend, I'd have asked her out already. My job involves frequent nights out drinking with people. Should I give her a fair shot at the job? Should I automatically say no after an interview? Should I hire her because I want to bang her?
Help.

I think you should hire the most qualified, may it be her or someone else, and not for any other reason (like thinking with your dick).
If you think you are not impartial, why not hand over the responsbilities of hiring to someone else?
>>
you already decided what you want to do
fuck the stupid whore then switch jobs
Is there even a point in having sex?
It all just seems like bullshit that isn't worth what you put into getting it (unless you literally buy a hooker)
Why am I so sad that I've never had sex when it means nothing?

The intimacy aspect is the best part, more than the physical stuff. Being desired is nice. So I think paying a whore is mostly a waste. Mostly that is, man when I was in Bremerhaven this one time I fucked this whore who was my personal 10/10 tall, blonde, cowtits, THICK. Man that was awesome
That said, I'd say cooking a nice big meal then eating it is more satisfying.

How do I dial back my protective tendencies? I'm going away to uni next year, and the thought of being unable to defend my family messes with my sleep. I know it's not normal to always have a contingency plan for everything (i.e. If a burglar broke into the house while I was showering, I'd grab the chlorine from under the sink and a pair of scissors to attack him with), and during HS, I kept a very strong eye on my brother. Hell, I watch every car while I'm walking with my mom (not that it hasn't helped, there was a scenario a few months ago where a car went barreling down the parking lot. I extended my arm and stopped my mom from moving forward, and it's definitely possible that the car may have run over her foot had I not done that). I don't know why I'm this protective. I had a 100% normal childhood, I was barely bullied (my best friend was very big for his age back then and one of the top athletes in the city, I suspect no one fucked with me because he was there, although I did win the one fight I got into). The biggest experience I've had with crime is some scumbag taking some change from my unlocked car at night as well as the one time a foreign dude cut me in line.
This isn't my first time being away from home. I've been with relatives for a month with just my bro, and I've been on several overnight field trips. Are these thoughts normal for me at this stage at my life?

I'm a female in the mid-20s and I have a serious problem in the bedroom lately - I can't get 'fully' turned on and more or less don't really get aroused at all lately. It's nothing to do with my boyfriend or anything, I am attracted to him and we do have a solid emotional connection. I just can't get turned on. Lately when we've tried having sex it started hurting during penetration and I assume it's from a lack of wetness/arousal on my part.
It's not that I'm necessarily not turned on, but I don't know whether I am or not. Maybe I'm somewhat turned on but just can't be 'fully' turned on. Even after 30+ minutes of foreplay I still don't feel fully turned on.
What could this be from and how do I solve it? The only thing I can think of is that it's because of all of the stress in my life lately - but even knowing that problem how can I fix it?

Use a bit of lube until you get back into the game.
Stop overthinking, just do it. Close your eyes and use your imagination.

Is it bad that at 23 Im trying to becone a programmer and have another 2-4 years of school ahead of me? Will there be a bias towards someone my age or will I be OK? Also could I land a job without networking with my peers?

You could, yes. But networking is a huge part of college. Not with just your peers, but literally everyone. A good recommendation is pretty damn valuable from a competitive aspect.
Your age won't really prevent you from getting a job. Nobody really wants that fresh of the tit college grad with no life experience. You may be graduating older than your peers, but you're literally years ahead of them life experience wise.

The company I work for is in manufacturing. The world is a big place, and many companies might move faster than mine. Many might move faster than the particular kind of manufacturing my company is in. Such industries and companies might only look for the youngest and best talent.
But I can say that in my company, and I can even say, in the companies competing with mine, a 27 year old programmer would be the youngest person in the department, by far.
It's very surprising to me how old everyone in my company is. I had thought that in any company making good money, there's young people steadily replacing old ones.
But the computer revolution is larger and slower than I ever would have guessed. Despite my company's size and success, it's full of processes screaming to be replaced by programming, and people working jobs that a program should be doing. There's just not enough programmers to write all the code needed. That's most of what I do; find ways of replacing tasks or entire jobs with code. But it's such a big organization that there's always tons left to do.
I think my company is not unique, Anon. I think many are aging faster than they can modernize, and anyone able to help them transition into the computer age can very soon be naming their own salary.
>>
>>17380937
No, it is not bad.
Between the large number of people first going to higher education in their 20s (College isn't just for 18 year olds anymore), the large number of people switching jobs or careers, and the large number of people who go through NEET periods when young, the average age of first-job applicants has risen considerably, and you won't be much older than most people you compete with.

So there's someone I'm into. We're pretty close, we're good friends, we're fuckbuddies, etc. He sleeps with other people a little though, and I don't.
I think tonight he might be sleeping with someone else. I was feeling lonely, and I texted him a little in the evening saying that and wondering if he wanted to spend time together tomorrow.
I feel like I'm pretty self conscious and maybe kind of obsessive about being a straight up dude, so I may be worrying too much, but is this sort of emotionally manipulative of me? Like I know there's a chance he's reading that message while he's with someone else at the moment, and I know that might damper the moment for him. And I don't really know for sure if that's what I want, or if I just am feeling lonely, probably at least a little of both, honestly.
