Why don't you ask someone for the extra cash? How did you get so broke?

Just tell him that you lost then and are trying to get new ones, he can probably delay needing them (I sometimes have to wait a week or two when I hire new people for them to get all their documents to me).

>>17351731
Go collect some fucking cans.
Go turn the cans in.
Deposit the funds in your account.
Stop being retarded over $3.00

Cool you get to act like Pawn Stars.

But it's resale, so pretty low stakes. Half of being confident is sticking to your rules, whether they make sense or not. So have a general outline: Open with a low-normal, and accept down to 65-75% of that in a counter. Stick to this script with confidence. If the customer won't take it, don't just end on stony silence, lead them to something else. Practice having interesting banter.

But if you're trying to come up with your opener for the first time when a customer asks, you're doing it wrong. When the customer asks "how much," it's a bad look to furrow your brow in confusion/contemplation, mull it over, and spit out a number. Makes it look like you're just making it up, and it has no rhyme or reason to it. You should come in early (or stay late), inventory what you have and get an idea of opener well in advance.

Of course you'll still be making it up, but it will *appear* as though there is some logical rationale behind it, and the appearance of legitimacy will sell the customer on you.

It's a lot of fun. I had no idea I was a charismatic person until I took a similar job.

Good advice, but we get a lot of Mexicans in the store who can't speak English, or it's broken English so it can be hard to communicate with them. Also what should I do if a costumer says something like "Oh wow, that's way more than I thought it would be." Should I let them make a counter offer? Like can I say "Well what price did you have in mind?" See I don't want to do this because they might say a super low number to get it for the cheapest they can, I guess I can hear their counter offer and say something like "Well that's a bit low, but I can meet you in the middle. Or can you come up a bit?"

Of course I feel like you have some costumers that will justify their low price like "Oh it's rusted, or used and you can see it's damaged slightly, etc." I don't know if I can really justify the price I tell them, like if they say "Well can you tell me why you're asking so much for it?" I guess I can say that it's similar to this product and that's how much we charge for a similar product, either way I'm just not good at randomly appraising or pulling a price out of my ass.

I know you said I should have a number already in my head when they ask how much something is, I'm just so afraid it'll be either too high or too low, as you said I guess the only way to fix this is to look around the store and see how much things are priced for. But half the stuff in the store isn't even priced, so I don't have anything to look at for comparison on prices. If a costumer asks me "How much is this?" and holds up something that I have no idea how much to charge for it I kind of get anxious or nervous, I could just give a quick-fire answer like "Oh it's $3.00" and see how they respond. Some might say "Oh, alright thanks." or they might be surprised or upset saying "Really? $3.00 for this?"

I've only just started working there and I know practice makes perfect, I'll get better at it over time but it's a new experience for me. I'm so use to merchandise already being priced

Just become the jew anon

I "did" it.
I don't know any sort of official documentation about depression or shit, but I was pretty down.
Pretty far fucking down.

I got out by doing small things each day.
Like a snowball, but in reverse. You go uphill now.

Just do one thing a day. One thing that is productive. Not just groceries or shit, but one thing that is not necessary. Hell just going to the library counts.
Go out and do something.

You got friends? Go see them.

I had a very good friend who helped me apply to college.

Depression is easy to wallow in alone, but once you tangle in other people, it feels hard. It's easy to disappoint yourself, but other people? That's hard.

I found it easiest to do it when I just woke up.
Wake up, eat breakfast, then go do your shit.
You get comfy, you ain't gonna do shit.
Set your day to do something and do it.

I know that bottom well feeling. Like you just want to exist.

You'll be surprised how much living feels good.

Sun, family and friends, exercise, eating right and sleep are what cured me

Nature and microdosing psilocybin mushrooms.

I like fluffy toys too, don't worry they are fluffy friends

Normal and a sign that you're a good person. I know grown men who are nurturing and find babies like this adorable, and it creeps people out because it's a womanly feature but it's actually extremely good of them.You're similar, except you like stuffed animals

There's also grown men who play video games, wear band aids and eat candy just like children do. It's not bad, just how it is.

OP this is very healthy. I could understand if you are self-concious about it but fuck anyone who says you can't cuddle with a stuffed animal. Sounds like you have a very fulfilling life.

It's a positive coping method. Some people choose stuffed animals, and plenty out there choose booze and drugs. The latter don't end up very happy in the end.

I feel you, OP.

I don't want to be like this but every experience with women leans me to this opinion.

>>17351628

I don't think this way of thinking will lead to happiness, but hey, it's your life, man.

>>17351628

I think you two will be okay when you learn how to actually pleasure a woman. Then you won't have to worry about them all fucking your brothers.

You move on. It's better than loving the person above all else and then her leaving you. Everyday I struggle not to kill myself. Dont make the same mistake.

>>17351658
Don't think I'm not tempted to. That thought crossed my mind not unlike that bullet several times throughout the day.

Let it go, it doesn't matter.

By time you're 50, you're gonna have a dozen people like that.

It takes two to tango. You could have loved them for all time, but could they have loved you?

It's not about being "not good enough".
We think that because we love them they must love us, but it's not true.
It's ok for them to not see you as desirable as you see them.

It's not like puzzle pieces, where a match on one side necessitates a match on the other.

It's ok. Let it go. Find someone who wants you. It seems like a gargantuan task, but you live far far longer than you think. Let it go. Your future self will thank you about discarding someone who held you back

Being a serviceman is a huge plus when looking for a job.

EMS is thrilling and rewarding, but it's physically damaging and probably pays less than the max you could make as a cook.

Phlebotamy is not bad, but it doesn't pay much more than being a cook. I'd say there's no harm in it, but it's not very ambitious. It must be relatively stress-free.

Note: you can be a different kind of medical tech and be more irreplaceable, and make more money. You could also be a nurse, and they make bank.

Pharmacy tech is not a bad choice. It's probably a good choice for someone who wants to settle into a secure and fair paying job for a long time.

Construction? You could probably get paid more doing electric or plumbing, but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

You can be literally anything you want.

I just saw you were making minimum wage as a cook. You can make more, at least in my state. Still, I think looking for a new career path is a great idea for you.

>>17351555

I am making $10/hr as a cook. $350 bucks a week to work second shift and mop up grease until 3 AM is pretty depressing.

Not looking for a career right now just something I can be doing within a month or two for short term income. When I return to school it will be to finish my BS/higher ed.

Don't do it

Cheating is a dog move regardless. Speak to your partner about it or break up with her. Clearly cant handle long distance

>Do people in long distance relationships cheat?
People in general cheat. So yes, people in LDRs are not excluded from that. However not everyone or even most people in one cheats and there is no justifiable reason to cheat ever. No, I don't care what your circumstances are. There isn't a good reason to. Break up, resolve things, visit her, use your hand, or do whatever else works. There's no shame in saying an LDR isn't for you, but there is a hell of a lot of shame in disrespecting someone you love by cheating on them.

Fucking cunts fatasses.

Women only swipe right like 15% of the time, so It's not really you, most of them always think they're settling for less. I don't use tinder and I have a somewhat active sex life.

>>17351652
But like. It's literally nothing for me. Like its killing my self confidence. Making me wonder what about me is such a turnoff.

You shouldn't use tinder as an ultimatum for why you think of yourself this way. If a girl can see that you rely heavily on the app just to get a date chances are they won't bother talking to you. Desperation is not attractive

bump

please help me

Could you explain more about your situation?

>>17351451
>>17351552
Call the loan company and explain the situation to them. They'll want to do something to help you, as if you don't borrow money they don't make money. With bad credit though, you might find that the loan comes with a caveat, such as them not giving you the full amount you ask for, having you pay it back at a significantly higher interest rate, or perhaps even paying them a deposit before they'll give you access to the money.

It's been about two weeks and we have been very civil over the phone. Pros: she is fun, intelligent, and great in bed. Cons: baggage galore and a loose sense of ethics.

abandon ship

I'm gonna give her another chance to be respectful

I understand your point, though

>>17351416
Cool your jets Shakespeare. Stop being so dramatic, it sounds like you watch too many movies and arent rooted into reality. You're trying your best to soune like dexter or some emotionally stunted dirty harry.

Get off your high horse,stop taking yourself so seriously and stop pretending your life is some soap opera. Little eye opener:. No one likes you either most likely because of your self importance

>>17351424

not op, and this is all true, but the way you say it is going to make a person like OP go in the opposite direction

try coming from the other side

just a tip if you want to give useful advice in the future

>>17351424
I watch fuck all and I have no self worth/importance. I will die alone and forgotten and I will force myself to believe that that is OK because I can't handle the alternative. This is literally the most useless piece of advice I've ever been given. Fuck you

>>17351430
Ah yes let's use the fucking counter thought to trick him isn't this little fucker a wise one

>>17351380
Router doesn't matter because you're going to be fucked in the ass by your provider either way. Assuming you live in America that is.

>>17351387
Not OP but I get 50 Mbps... It's suppose to go up to 100 soon, but frankly 50 is plenty fast for streaming, downloading, and gaming.

Unless you're getting fiber tier internet you're fine with getting literally anything that's not trash
