You just do things. Set yourself goals. Think about what you are gaining/losing when not doing it now versus when doing it now.
No magic pill, no magic quotes, no motivational video.
Just discipline and work.

Cut yourself off from temptation. If you end up talking on the phone when you should be working then go to the library, if you end up playing games then work with a pen and paper instead of your computer.

I'm getting a new pair of glasses this week.
What kind of glasses are the most conducive to getting a woman's panties wet?

That's pretty normal I'd think if you aren't a heartless dickbag.
Unless you did it for bad reasons? Why did you break up

I broke up because I didn't have feelings anymore

Sup so I need some help and I've been out of school for a while so my writing skills have dropped off.
I am applying for accommodations for 50% extra time on the LSAT, law school admissions test.
Last year I had brain surgery and my working memory hasn't fully recovered yet (working memory is like being able to efficiently move from task to task), and my prescription anti epileptic drugs impair my memory as well so I often find myself needing to reread questions and paragraphs before I can answer questions.
Now I need to write a 1 page letter describing my disability and justifying why I need 50% more time
How should I frame this letter? Any advice appreciated

I'm scoring about 150/180 on the test right now, but most law schools require at least 160. My grades from university are also adequate for the less competitive schools. I think if I get accommodations on the test I can pull off 160+ and get into law school

"Attached is a medical/legal document confirming that I have [nature of disability], which is a recognized disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act. I therefore request 50% extra time in taking the LSAT, as provided for by the law and university policy."

I got promoted and now I have to go to business dinners occasionally.
I'm an autist, what do I talk with these people about? What's good business dinner small talk?

>Hey Jim, here the portfolio is coming along great
>John, hey when you get the chance you should look over Cindy's report, the poor girl.
>Heh-hey! Martin, hey how's it going? Make any progress on that fundraiser event?
>There's ny girl! Courtney, you look beautiful. I here you and Marc are getting married soon.
>Good ol' Chuck. How's your wife's son doing?
This is what autists do at business dinners and it's perfectly acceptable.

How is any of this advanced? Just tailor it to your line of work.
hey any military/ex-military guys about?
I'm joing the Royal Marines, but I'm worried about keeping the integrity of my relationship going while i'm spending the majority of the next year away training and then years overseas etc.
Aren't we just going to drift apart, or get consumed by grief missing each other, and then be forced to do special things when we meet and forget how to be comfortable?
I'm decisive about joining up, it's just a shame my 3 year old relationship may suffer, i want to marry this girl.

Is it acceptable to apply for 2 phds in the same department?
It's the same supervisor for both, so he'll know I've applied for both. They are very similar projects however.
Will I look keen and interested or will I look like a chancer applying for anything?

I suspect that what you mean is two research or lab projects that will lead to a PhD. The professor is in effect hiring a protege, trading your scut work in his lab for his guidance in finding a sub-part of the project to make your PhD dissertation.
The answer is choose on. He's looking for someone so thoroughly committed to the project that he can rely on you. If you let him know you'd be just as happy working on the other project, he'll doubt your commitment.

>>17372237
er, choose ONE

>>17372237
PhD studentships, I should've said. They are extremely similar in terms of content, to the point where I wonder if they're part of the same overall project. The main difference is the funding. One has external funding the other comes from the uni itself.
Not that it matters. After a quite bit of digging I found they don't allow multiple applications to similar projects.

A year ago I was really addicted to Cigars. I'll probably had 24 in the last four months of the year. Toward the end though I just started really getting tired of the smoke and do not find it enjoyable. That taste eroded away.
I also was thinking about the health consequences such as my face growing older, my teeth getting yellow, my hair starting to fall out.
I made a New Year's resolution to get off that. The first 6 weeks or really hard. I kept on trying to convince myself to smoke. "I had a long day at work." " I hate my job since it is dead end. Lighting this app will help me." I also got some cigars for Christmas and my birthday which was one more reason for me to justify smoking.
I know I wasn't smoking as long as you but I know how the addiction feels. I wish you the best of luck.

Long story short:
>Girl I'm friends with, call her C
>Met her through a mutual guy friend, call him B
>We're all pretty close
>In a recent weekend visit to the area C slept with me and B both at some point
>Or at least I assume she slept with B, I can't 100% confirm
>I can, however, confirm B has a crush on C
>And whether or not they fucked this trip has rekindled his feelings for her
>C seems disinterested in being anyone's girlfriend at this point
>I'd be fine with us just sticking to this relationship, where B, C and I are friends and C just hops between whichever of us is around whenever she wants some D
>This seems to be C's plan as well
>Dunno if B will continue to be comfortable, though
>B appears to want to try and get over his crush on her but I think he's more trying to convince himself that's what he wants
>I'd be cool with giving B and C the freedom to pair up and me just be the friend, but if I don't have to step back I don't want to
Should I get involved in B's interests and activities at this point, or should I just hold back and wait to see how he wants to take this before I opt to either encourage our current friendship or to step aside and seek what I want elsewhere?
Cuckposters need not apply, I'm not interested in being tied down any more than C seems to be. I just want my bro to be comfortable and, if possible, retain what we currently have going.

Those things never work, you'll be lucky to keep one friend from the entire group.

>>17372104
Dude back out, stop sleeping with this girl. If you want to keep beings bros with your friend back the fuck out. If his 'crush' boils to the point where he can only ever see him with this girl then you will be seen as the barrier between him and her and he will extradite you from his life.

>>17372104
what is the problem here. just back out and let B have his go at her. She'll crush him and you won't be the reason
How to get control of your life ? A month or so ago I broke up with my girlfriend. Eversince I feel like being trapped in endless spiral of repeating the same mundane things.
I try to socialize with people, attend events, festivals and so on, but I feel worse with every day. I also try to meet with some people I didnt see in a while.
Any other suggestions ?

Grief is a thing. You're experiencing it. Losing a relationship is like losing a loved one. You would be surprised the range of reactions there are. Emotional instability and depression is to be expected for a while. You'll get through it, just take the very best care of yourself that you can.

I've went through break-ups before, but this oen seems like a real nightmare. I'm trying to have fun, enjoy myself but I always hear this voice in my head saying "You are wasting your time".
But, maybe it does take time.

I was there a few months ago. It's certainly the worst feeling. There's no way around it other than time.
All you can do is pick up a hobby and pursue other stuff to kill time!
Dear /adv/, I like this girl, is it a good strategy to ask her advice about girls as if I'm into some other girls? Or is this sperg-tier?

I have extremely low self esteem and I'm extremely paranoid. I actually progressively become more uncomfortable with people as time because of my paranoia. Psych told me that exposure therapy is used to treat anxiety but I don't feel that is applicable to me.
At first I alienate them due to avoiding them because I think I'm a worthless person who automatically repels people so I try to stay out of their way, but they interpret this as me implying that I think they're worthless or lepers and that I'm better than them.
I don't reciprocate friendliness or conversations/banter because I think people are talking down to me, or are otherwise fucking around with me and playing a game which reminds me of how much of an inferior person I am , or I feel like I'm under attack.
In many cases I will interpret friendly overtures as condescension or outright hostility depending on the person and the vibes I get off them. Not always but a very large percentage of the time.
With time people get uncomfortable and sometimes hostile towards me, and this only fuels my paranoia even more by validating my original beliefs about their malicious intents, so I end up in a spiral of escalating tensions between me and other people that cause me to freak out and feel persecuted. People in turn view me as a weirdo or like I'm up to no good/shifty so they genuinely do start persecuting or harassing me.
Exposure therapy in this case doesn't work. How abnormal is this and is there a way to make these kinds of thoughts go away?

No one in this world cares about you enough to hate you or mess with you. Bullying stops at after high school because people just find better things to do. It's all in your head man.

>>17371935
I swear that's pretty normal. You just have bad anxiety.
Personal experience, the best ways to handle that:
>surround yourself with positive people
I can't stress enough how important that is. Positive reinforcement that you're fine when you're freaking out really helps.
>calming routine
>self motivation
YOU. ALSO. HAVE. TO. WORK. ON. IT. You need to make an effort to get into a routine of calming yourself down when you're feeling anxious by keeping in mind that nothing is wrong with you and things will be fine.

My skin looks like it's made of leather. Not so much acne or scars, though I used to have it badly. I think that may have contributed. What are some things I can do to improve it (or at least its appearance?)

I haven't ever done this.
Go to Sephora and tell them to do it right.
