How do you make yourself smarter? I'm pretty sure I'm actually retarded because of how often I fuck up everything. I can't keep track of any assignments for college, I can't make myself have any motivation to actually do them if I don't actually forget about them.
Every single day I go to work I feel like killing myself because I know there's going to be something I missed or something I should have done, and its going to bite me in the ass because it fucks over somebody else. Just today I had the assistant manager tell me everyone thinks I'm terrible and I almost started breaking down in the back room, along with the actual manager saying "as long as you get your way then fuck everyone else?" because I wasn't putting barcodes I scanned in the shipments I send out, just the packing list.
I'm just fucking stupid and I don't know what to do about it, failing is the norm for me.
There's always manual labor. Time to move some fucking bricks, m8

2 Steps
1.Be more confident about your actions. JUST DO IT
2. Play NBACK
What do you mean by smarter? Like book smart? Or "street" smart? People smart?
There a ton of ways people are intelligent and the maybe you're trying to be smarter isn't working because it's not what you're actually smart at.
I'm horrible with numbers, complete dumbass to a billion things, but I'm great at a few specific things and the more I focus on those things (I usually enjoy them already) I realize there are a lot ways that I am smarter at it than anyone else.
Its one of the best ways to find your path in life, to discover what you're good at and keep getting better at it.
As long as its legal. And even in those cases there are some examples which support my thoughts. I mean, look at Pablo Escobar. I'm sure the classmates who called him a dumbass regretted that.

>Meet girl last Wednesday
>Invites me out to some group thing on Saturday
>Hang out alone for about 3 hours
She seemed happy and kept telling me how she had fun - fast forward to now
>Haven't really talked to her
>Planning on asking her out for Saturday night
>Not sure what day I should do it
>Don't want to be too much of an eager beaver
>Don't want to wait too long so she already has plans
Is Wednesday or Tuesday better?
Bonus Question:
>Would prefer to ask her out over the phone instead of through text
>Gal doesn't get good reception on her phone
Should I call and just leave a message asking her to call me back? Is it bad to text after calling to just say 'Hey I know you don't get good reception but call me back'
Thanks friends

Just ask her out. Seems like your overthinking it. Just relax and [spoiler] Do It[/spoiler]
Okay I was never going to post this but damn I'm curious as hell. Is it normal to get anxious as a fucking cock sucker on molly sometimes? Sometimes when I do it I think some weird as fuck thoughts?
The last time I went on a binge doing it I kept thinking the weirdest religious shit. I kept thinking that my music was devil music and leading me down a bad path and inviting demons into my life. I kept thinking about the girl I like and kept thinking damn I gotta drag this bitch to church and quit everything. I had a traumatic event happen in my last relationship (she told me she was raped) and I kept thinking it was because I invited demons into my life. As soon as I started having these thoughts my friend was starting a fire and I just kept staring into the flames and having a mini panic attack about all this shit.
Am I crazy? What the fuck is this?
Lol no you're just high as fuck when you take molly. I used to roll and trip a lot and after being done with that scene for a few years I am almost back to normal most of the time. You're fine dude just be careful.
Sometimes the drug isn't pure.
>>17348696
drug binges have always made me want to quit doing drugs, better my life and seek enlightenment.
I was recently put into a mental hospital for severe depression and suicidal tendencies. My parents and siblings are extremely supportive of me getting better, but they don't know that they're the reason why I was put in there, my mom especially. She abused me constantly, physically and sexually, my dad didn't put a stop to it, and my siblings never comforted me after it happened. I was alone and the doctors say that was probably when my depression first developed.
Like I said, my family has no idea about this. I only told them that it was because of a really bad argument I had with friends in school. I never plan on telling them the truth. I'm also not sure if I should stay in contact with them after I graduate college; I can literally feel headaches and the sensation of my brain melting when I'm around them
Honestly, looking back on what I just wrote, I probably just want someone to say that I should leave them and never look back, but what do you think I should do, /adv/?
Stay with them and dwell on the past
>>17348691
>/adv/, i'm drinking this poison that would destroy me
>Should i stop drinking and never look back?
the answer is always yes
>>17348703
I guess I that was the better way to write this, now wasn't it?
Hey guys, a little advice would do perfectly for my current situation
>be me
>mom acting strange
>dad tells me that she is just depressed
>days later they fight
>hear them but get nothing useful
>next day mom comes into my room crying
>ohshitno.jpg
>she talks to me about dad
>shows me pictures of dad texting rather suspicious messages to several women >welp
>prostitutes and women he works with
And yet here I was, believing his every lie for years. I am not really sad or in shock, I'm just really surprised at this turn of events. Any of you guys going through this?
I don't really know what to say, but I'd feel bad if no one replied to this and you ended up feeling alone.
I guess support your mom now? She's the good side, and accept that your dad is a scumbag (unless your mom completely neglected all attention to him, but that's less likely).
Sorry you're going through this dude
My mom always checks my dads phone and he's deleted everything. Sometimes he has random phone numbers.
They're both fucking fags ahahaha
>>17348675
i know your situation is painful right now, but things will get better man.
>be my friends dad
>always happy and smiling and playful and just awesome
>find out wife is sleeping around
>eats a bullet
that happened a few weeks ago, we were all so shocked to find out about everything at once. just be there for your mom man and make sure she knows she is loved.
my friends dad devoted his life to his family and they seemed so happy, and then it all ended in a day. just make sure your mom has comfort ;//
Anyone feel like an emotionless robot?
No joy, no fear, no love, no hate.
Just a passive acceptance of things as they are.
Is there a solution to this that isn't pills?
I think they call it passion
>>17348670
I think that's a good thing. Then, You can ignore what most people call "bullshit"
[spoiler]assuming you can't feel frustrated[/spoiler]
Honestly, passivity is I think much better than being an emotional wreck, or even just letting shitty emotions run your life.
what do?!
>first relationship
>lose v-card to hot gf
she recently started not hanging out as much but her sex drive increased so much
>find out she was seeing another dude
he was turning her on but not finishing her off, so she would randomly come to me for sex. then they finally had sex and continue to do so almost every day. she doesnt know i know and keeps texting and calling me, she came over and i pretended i wasn't home.
im kinda hurt because why not, and now i just want revenge, not in a violent way, but in a "the world knows you're a slut" way...
what do?!
No revenge is going to make you feel better
Just curious, how did you find out?
>>17348684
we took the same summer course together with the dude (didnt know him at first) and then she would skip class and i noticed he was out of class too.. then next class she sat way up next to the professor (i like sitting in the back) near the guy.. so i sat there and we just started sitting there, and when she missed a class, so we he..
overheard some bitch in the hall making fun of me because i didnt suspect anything and calling me a puppy because "he keeps sitting next to her" or whatever.
if i wouldve known i would've dropped the class and was only taking it with her because she wanted me to. now im getting called names because i merely trusted her, i guess?
i asked her friend who is always brutally honest about stuff if she knew anything and she basically told me everything that i just said
sigh
I don't even know how to say this.
My SO and I are sexually active but he puts no effort into it. I'll try to be sudden and sexy or build up to it all night with touching, teasing and foreplay.
But regardless, it's fingerbang, he blows a load in my mouth and then bed time.
His excuse is he's too tired.
Am I fucking up or is he really too tired? He does work more hours and has a more physically demanding job so I get that. But I feel like it's just getting off to him. Like it's not even hot anymore.
What do I do to make he want me?
How long have you guys been together? How's the communication in the relationship?
>>17348657
6 years. I don't know to be honest. We tell each other everything but idk. Sometimes I feel like he listens because he has to. I'll say, 'remember this'll and he doesn't. Then he tells me I am wrong and never said that.
Trust is there but I feel look like he doesn't care to listen and at times I'm to stubborn to hear different. But I always try to make the effort. If that makes sense
>>17348665
I really don't want to fuck anything up but it's like we are just here.. together. Some nights a fingerbang without a kiss. But we both love each other and don't want to end the relationship
Does anyone else get that feeling when someone is talking to you you're brain shuts off and you can't respond in any natural way?
This constantly happens when my family talk to me or when teachers at school talk to me.
Is there anything wrong with me for behaving like this? Should I just talk over them and redirect the conversation to where I want it to go?
Please respond to my neurosis. I just wanna know why I feel this way. It kinda feels like guilt
>>17348647
This is actually kind of normal among people believe it or not. You just need to learn how to act like you're interested and how to respond blind.
This is normal. Just nod your head and try to listen for key things that they're talking about.
I do this all the time with my mother and girlfriend. I end up just switching off because they talk in a very unnecessarily convoluted way
I stupidly snorted this today, a small amount. Basically I did it around 4 o'clock, at 8 I started to feel a small opiate buzz come on. Now it's midnight and I feel a pretty strong buzz, feel sick to stomach, and I'm having nasal drip that tastes like suboxone
Is it possible to catch a buzz 8 hours after doing it? I literally felt nothing until now
>>17348643
>trying to get high off suboxone
When are you going to realize you have a problem?
You snorted wellbutrine and narcan. You're probably somatizing a high from the trace body high of a fake opioid and and antidepressant.
First, is it your prescription? How many mgs did you snort?
>>17348643
8 hours is an extremely unlikely timeframe for intranasal dosing of anything. Are you sure it was suboxone?
The only drug I can think of that would do that would be a drug called Phenazepam, which would kick in at around that timeframe and cause you to feel drowsy, uninhibited, a bit sick, and possibly even belligerent.
If that is the case, you will need to cancel work for a couple of days. You absolutely cannot be around people on this drug or you will ruin your life.
I've been playing Pokemon for a couple days in my city and I keep seeing this super cute girl with lazy hair and it's dyed silver and she's white as snow and she's my fucking type ahhhhhh what the fuck do I do

Show her your 10 CP Rattata
Ask her if she plays or something, make an excuse to talk to her and try to keep it going. If she's not interested that sucks but don't follow her around or anything
>Hey, I've seen you around here a few times. You're playing Pokemon Go, right?
Just say that. You've been given an icebreaker that dudes would have killed for in ages past. From there just let a conversation happen. It may feel hard or nerve-wracking but that's what you have to do, man.
Just chat for a while and eventually ask if she'd like to walk around with you while you play.
If you hit it off, ask for her number when you decide to split ways.
Boss move: "I'm about to drop a module on a Pokestop up here, you should stick around"
Other possible things to say/ask:
>So are you Instinct/whatever the other two are called?
>Check out my team (move in a little close, but don't be creepy)
>Do you know of any good spots around town?
I don't know how to get out of this stereotypical "yeah that guy has dumb ideas/is dumb in general" every time I make new friends they seem to come to this conclusion. How do I escape it?
Don't talk as much
>>17348627
Then you are dumb, assuming you aren't basing this around 2 ex-friends who your trying to put the blame on for calling you dumb.
Don't talk as much, capitalize off of being dumb (You can get away with shit normal/smart people cant, don't be autistic about it though, grabbing a girls tits and then saying "i'm dumb" its a good way to get slapped/put in prison)
Maybe talk about shit that seems smart/your versed in, don't be a neet, find something your good at and get friends who are also good at it. Video games/stupid shit don't apply to this, because it makes you look like a faggot to everyone else, and since your asking /adv/ i'm gonna figure you care about your social image, which is probally completely wrong to begin with, but you get the point.
Maybe you ARE dumb
Why does the working world suck soo much! How do I earn money without working a "normal" job?
>>17348613
Welfare. If your living alone its a good amount of money.
Should have went to college, you get better jobs/easier jobs based on your qualifications, a degree being a big qualification

Kill yourselves.

How do you live life with a personality roughly approximating the INTP type? Its hard to be comfortable with yourself once you question how much time you might be wasting spacing out and only ever dipping your toe into any given pursuit. That you'll only ever be the pretense of intelligent or interesting, but fundamentally uneducated and impotent, socially and intellectually.
Note: I dont care what your opinion on Myer's Briggs is (using it for convenience sake) so please restrain yourself from shitting up the thread with that sort of bickering on whether it is legitimate or whatever.
>>17348593
You don't. Find a strong support for that noose.
I wish I knew. I always wanted to be a musician, but I can't actually sit down and focus on a tutorial or read a book explaining the methods of composition/musical theory. I have a basic knowledge but every time I try to I end up just getting lost in fucking around with my instrument and trying to make it work on my own. I know it'd sound a lot better if I actually studied and digested the material but I can't keep myself focused on it. Then I give up after like a half hour because the music sounds like shit compared to what I want and I go back to doing something that takes little/no effort, like reading news articles on the internet and shitposting.
>>17348593
MBTI is a very poor way to determine a person's personality. If you truly believe that something is wrong with your way of living, then it's time to do some introspection and soul-searching until you are able to decide what it is that you want from life.
You think the vast majority of people are educated and interesting? They're not. The shit that most people talk about isn't really anything substantial, and they generally just talk to talk.
Everybody thinks that they're smart. Everybody thinks that they're interesting. The truth is that most people are not.
The only difference between "INTP"s and everybody else is that they always seem to second guess themselves.
One of the most important things that you can do is get out of your own head and become more action-oriented. You can't solve all of your problems with your mind, or by asking rhetorical questions on 4chan.
My personality fits my Myers Briggs type very loosely, and it is not an accurate way to guage your true nature (I'm an ENTJ). My father has tested as an INTP and is a mechanical engineer.
