Amway is the classic pyramid scheme. Even the dumbest of the dumb don't fall for that shit under the basis of name recognition; they've moved on to Vector Marketing and CUTCO (also pyramid schemes).

Your friend is a fucking retard, or he's a sociopath who is really good at taking advantage of people. Either way his "business opportunity" is a total scam. Cut ties. Seriously just never talk to him again until he stops peddling this shit.

If you have any talent at sales then you can work for a regular company and make bank.

>>17348586
>Can anyone tell me if im right?

Ask /biz/. I've seen Amway threads there.

>one concern is that if i accept and we wind up breaking up she will have wasted 500 dollars
It's not a waste. If you break up before the trip, she can go without you. If you break up after, it's just a mutual enjoyable experience that you can both look back on. You're overthinking this.

Enjoy your trip

>>17348579
Why are you so concerned about breaking up already? That this is an issue in your mind really says something about your relationship. And how far away is your birthday?

Sounds like a good plan. Good luck.

>>17348576
Good plan, without over thinking it.

You could always try tinder, if i wanted to be a pessimist i'd tell you its better to fuck than date.

>>17348671
I'm really discouraged from trying tinder because there's a lot of disconnect when communicating through messages as opposed to talking in person. I've had poor experiences in the past, where I talked really easily in text, but I couldn't converse well at all in person. I'd much rather just try to talk to people in situations where I need to approach in person, where I force myself to grow in that regard. Women become even more scarce, which is rough, but oh well.

The fact that you're focusing so heavily on your meeting story, as opposed to any other potential issues here, tells me you have a fucking screw loose.

matey r u seriously about to marry a girl youve been in an LDR with for almost 5 years? have you guys met in person? your parents would be right to think ur insane.

>>17348568
We've met in person many times. About 4 times per year actually.
>>17348565
Eh, most likely...

>>17348543
i would definitely just tell her you didn't realise she had a bf and apologise

>>17348553
Are you a guy or a girl

>>17348553
idk about this, this is risky, how bad was it? Like, I think maybe apologize for acting "weird" but honestly there's not much you can do, other than just wait it out. You should maybe apologize in some aspect, that way your relationship with her isn't fucked, apologize if you made it weird or something and then you don't want it to be like that, idk man, good luck anon

Shame you can't smell his dick over the internet, eh?

This is not advice

>>17348566
I know, it's shitposting. I'm introducing you to /adv/, since this is actually a place to shitpost, not get advice. I can almost guarantee you that you will get nothing of value out of this thread.

But you're welcome for bumping your moribund thread.

He's a child.
Really you should've taken that $400 and bought your own beater.

Nice "friend" you got there.

Tell him and show him the expenses you paid for for the truck and that you earned just as much a right to use it as he does (Since the truck is still technically his)

>>17348466
Simple, head on down to the court house, and sue him for the money you spent on repairs.

If he said you can use it if you did all of those things, and is now refusing to let you use it, then take him to small claims and get your money back so you can get yourself a beater.

yes contact your local poison control center

also why

If I had to put a number on it I'd say I have at most five solid rat turds in my system

>>17348456
you need to get your stomach pumped immediately. assuming you haven't died already.
srsly though, get to a hospital

>>17348455
Cut your hair bald,
go to Nepal,
Be a monk.

Now to think of it, Buddhism is like the ancient psychology doctor.

that is actually a nice idea, but i just want to become a better person here where i am
i have 7 failed assignatures and i want to be able to face that challenge without fear
i want to become an achieving student and a man of effort

So you have been diagnosed with autism but your life will continue on same as before. It's probably difficult for you to shake it off right now but the best thing you can do is a lot of introspection on what you can do to improve the quality of life. If you dont know where to start then id suggest taking a step back and analyze how severe your symptoms are and work on what you feel the most comfortable with, one step at a time. You've got your whole life to work on these things so take each day as an opportunity to improve. Autists are generally more intelligent than your average person so don't think you don't have the power to change, improve, and function like a "normal" person. As for feeling lost and alone, im sure everyone feels that way but reaching out to people really helps. It's a difficult path that's going to take more willpower than anything to bring the change you want. If you aren't exercising/lifting regularly then you MUST start, if not for your overall health then for the perceptual changes that come with it. Having healthy amounts of hormones is essential to getting rid of anxiety, depression, etc. Plus you get gains and that helps with the females and their attention will help self loathing.

Idk where I am taking this cause though I havent been diagnosed with autism, I always felt like the shoe fits with my habits and tendencies. The advice i have given was my approach and I have noticed major shifts in perception and progress over two years after a two year depression period of isolation.
Im not going to go in depth with social skill development because there are just too many possibilities and outcomes but I hope this helps out.

>>17348450
no, it doesn't.
Can someone post the screenshot of that guy from r9k that paid a prostitute to fuck him in the ass?

>Nopes
This is correct

>Yeps
In that case I lost my virginity when I was 5.

>>17348450
no but you are on the right track. Penis in vagina is what you are shooting for

>>17348401
People don't go into coma while going to sleep, do they?
else we won't call sleep sleep.
we will call them mini coma

Wait it out, or just keep trying to wake him up

>>17348409

I'll take your word for it.

Guh, you need to specify what's problematic for you.

If you really look like a retard - control your body language. Never stare, never leave your mouth open. Stand like a man, don't change balance between your legs. Never look down, don't move too fast.

>>17348384
25 and never held hands with a girl here.
You need to step it up before you reach my age.
Or you will start thinking everything doesn't matter anymore, then you won't be bothered to try hard.

remember, social skills are mimic.
Copy what others do, and eventually you will get it.

>>17348420
I've hit the point where I'm tired of this shit. I hate seeing all the people I grew up with living healthy normal lives while I just sit at home browsing 4chan and hating myself. Even vidya had lost its appeal.

>>17348358
Same, anon. I think we've all had that moment.

That's a natural first response to this kinda thing, especially if you are not used to it for years

Same thing happened to me when a girl started to rub her tits all over me and desperately tried to get into my pants, for the first time at like 23 when I finally got my shit together.

>>17348358
anybody see the thread yesterday on b? OP upset after seeing fb post about what his gf did at a party the night before playing truth or dare as he was at home. She licked a guys asshole on a dare

just leave her, life's too short

>she also trying to imply she cheated on me in a group chat
Do you know what 4-letter word I'm thinking of, OP?

>>17348357
This is your one and only golden ticket to leave hell.
Get on board the leaving train now!
CHOO CHOO!

Does she know she's your girlfriend?

You don't get motivated, you get disciplined.

Motivation is fickle and fleeting. You will not always be motivated. Even when you are, how long can you maintain that big upswing of motivation?

Disciplining yourself will help much more in the long run. Pick one thing, anything, that you want to work on. Work on that thing for some amount of time/quantitative measurement of work each day.
Getting things done is about being able to push through a lack of motivation and do them anyway even if you don't feel like you can.

Get OCD about organizing your life. GTD is great.

Classic symptoms of depression an anxiety. See your primary care doctor and try out anti depressents and anti anxiety medications until 1 works. See a therapist, talk about this shit.

Literally what I did: gave myself a set schedule. I am in bed by 2 am every night, wake up no later than 930 am. I have to be at work by 1pm, so until then I have free time. The catch with the free time is I must do 1 hr of chores. It can be anything: weeding the garden, folding clothes, putting away dishes, cleaning the bathroom, ect ect. This 1 hr can happen any time before I work. Sometimes as soon as I wake up, sometimes at 11, but that way I accomplish something and start to feel productive. Before bed: I must wash all the dishes I made, and must brush my teeth. I take my zoloft every night between 12 and 2 am.

I stick to this, and it helps me. I have less blah moments because I know I can be doing something, or I can look back and say "I did x this morning, I'm not such a complete waste of space".

There isn't special words or a secret remedy to getting yourself out of your funk. You have to want it, and you have to do it. No short cuts.

I believe in you anon.
