Why am I always extremely itchy after I shower? I thought the issue was dry skin so I now take cold showers. I tried using body lotion and it helped a little bit but I was still extremely itchy. I don't have eczema or any skin conditions so I don't know what's causing this. It's gotten to the point where I dread showering. Has anyone else had this problem?
Stop being a punk and shower with cold water, that was my solution to that prob. Used to get red itchy patches after hot shower

Yes I have this too sometimes. It's not too bad really but definitely dry skin. What I found helping is not showering too hot, and not too often.

Can you even read?
>ex gf got implanon put in 2 weeks before she dumped me
>maintain personally that one of the main reasons she broke up with me was because her arm implant was fucking with her emotions and aggravating current stresses in her life
>was speaking to her today, she says she's thinking of taking the implant out because it's just been reacting poorly with her
>talk to her a bit and say I'd like to hang out with her a bit after she gets the implant out and see where we're both at mentally, make it clear that I want to try again with her
>she says not to pin my hopes on anything because she's still not completely convinced that the implant was the catalyst for the breakup but says she'd love to hang out with me again
Do you guys think I have a chance at salvaging this? We broke up under very abrupt circumstances, she said that she just felt like there was no excitement or spark anymore- and she only started feeling this way about a week after she got the arm implant. Pic unrelated, just some drawing I found on /ic/
Do you guys think I have a chance once she gets that fucking hormone pumper out of her body?
self bump because this board moves far faster than I thought
>>17340899
trying and getting rejected is better than just never knowing. just be aware of the fact that the implant may have played a role, but if she wanted to just break it off rather than trying to work on it through her "weird hormones/emotions/whatever," there are probably other underlying issues that she hasn't mentioned to you. so fuck it, give it a shot, but don't hold your breath.
>>17341034
I agree, she laid out the circumstances of the breakup pretty plainly- when I showed up to be with her after about 6 weeks of being apart, she felt like the spark or excitement that we had before was gone. She also had a bunch of other shit going on in her life that was bothering her mostly just school loans and her parents.
She could have simply just fallen out of love with me, and I think I'm prepared to accept that- but I'm still pretty convinced that had she not had gotten that hormonal bc implant a week or so before me showing up, she wouldn't have felt as extremely and we'd have just managed to work through it. I'll try not to hype myself up about it too much, but I think that this is a step in the right direction.
I have my licence, I got it when I was 16. 20 now and talked this through with a counselour and I still haven't dropped my fear of driving.
Never been in an accident, always stay less than 5 over the speed limit, etc.
But my mother taught me to drive and she wasnt the greatest instructor, her body language told me that she was always nervous with me behind the wheel so I thought for a while that my driving was wrong in a way I couldn't see it.
My older brother, was a straight up bad driver, which the counselour I talked to about my fear, told me is the likely cause.
>He didnt understand that turning over 30mph was dangerous
>Very indecisive so quite a few honks our way
>Bounces in between the lane
>cant accurately determine when hes supposed to slow down so he ends up getting inches close whilst slamming the brakes
Even worse, every sunday for a year and a half, he drove me to church, which has so many stories and situations where we shouldve just called 911 but didnt: I became terrified of the road.
All these years later I always talk myself out of driving unless I absolutely have to.
I'm reaching out here because I'm very much hoping to hear some words that would make ultimate sense to me and will just snap me out of it as my counselour served just a bit useless.
You should drive a bit everyday/often on your own or with someone you feel comfortable with. It doesn't has to be a long trip, something like going to the church like you said or go shopping.
I would also avoid being in the car with your brother unless you really have to.
>I became terrified of the road.
You fear doing the same thing as your brother or having it happen to you? (like a car "getting inches closer" to you)?
>>17340896
If you have good spacial awareness, and know what you're doing, then you have nothing to worry about.
I personally love driving, and driving fast, but I don't berate people that don't. If you don't want to drive fast or aggressively, and take your time, cool. At the end of the day you're driving a tonne of machinery at speed, you can't fuck around.
Take your time and do it your way, it sounds like you're aware of what makes a bad driver, and so you won't drive badly. If you worry you're holding people up, pull over and let them by, then be on your way.
Maybe find a nice quiet road and make yourself comfortable driving up and down it, then start going places with a little bit of traffic until you feel comfortable there, and slowly build yourself up with more traffic.
I feel the same, I feel it come more from feeling like I constantly have to make sure everyone around me is driving correctly as I live in a place full of horrible drivers, only one of NY friends still on my first car. Hasn't really gotten better, I just try distract myself from how I feel while driving
Been going out for a year now long distance. She fly's here every month, I fly to her as well. There are 30 day gaps where don't see each other sometimes.
What does she mean?
she doesnt love you
>>17340970
Thanks. The hard part is we traveled to multiples places around he world and took lots of pictures. Don't know if I should save or delete them.
>>17340994
Crop her out in hilariously obvious ways and replace her with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Looking at the current events that are unfolding in the US I'm very afraid and unsure about the future. Things just seem to get out of hand. I'm thinking about moving to a reasonable country, but at the same time I don't really want to leave my homeland.
What do? Am I just over reacting? I wish these current race issues would just disappear
>more reasonable country
Like?
>>17340868
>that mspaint pic
Let me guess, a Canadian drew that?
>>17340878
I don't know, but to be perfectly fair to /pol/, most of them do have real problems in life. They're just all self-inflicted. Rather like /r9k/.
(Not OP, by the way)
found out my gf's mom doesn't like me because i was anorexic and i have too many "issues" what do?
Step 1: don't care what that cunt thinks of you.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: ???
Step 4: ???
Step 5: profit.
>>17340870
made me laugh but it would be pretty awkward if i ever go round there
>>17340897
Is avoiding her an option? People like that generally can't be reasoned with easily.
I have severe depression (actually diagnosed by a doctor), but never decided to take antidepressants.
Could weed somehow help the depression? Or make it worse?
>using a depressant when you're depressed
What could go wrong?
Depends on the strain and how much you're smoking/consuming. In low doses it might help but if you get full on stoned, it might make it worse.
>>17340862
>Could weed somehow help the depression? Or make it worse?
Could do either, or both at different times. Depends on the individual and the exact cause of your depression. Correcting a chemical imbalance in the brain can be a little bit of trial and error to find the right chemical and dosage for you. The only one really qualified to make an educated guess here is a neurologist.
How can I learn to be more considerate to others?
All of my friends and social circles have been distancing themselves from me from the past few years. I can honestly say I only have 1 or 2 close friends left outside of family.
A few days ago a friend and I were drinking, and I ended up talking shit to him while playing some video games. Wasn't trying to be a dick or anything, just normal banter I thought. I knew he was going through some personal problems, so I guess it struck a nerve with him and he got up and left. Later he told me that I was being an asshole, even though I didn't mean anything personal by it. I've probably done this to a lot of friends before without realizing it.
Another case was about a month ago. A girl I was into had just gotten out of a relationship, and about a week later I asked her on a date. She said no, and later told mutual friends that she thought it was fucked up that I would ask her out right after a breakup because she was vulnerable or something.
At my job, a lot of my coworkers actively avoid me and think I'm rude. I always try to be courteous at work, but I don't really try to develop personal relationships with coworkers.
What can I do? It's hard for me to feel empathy for others, and I think for that reason, I'll probably end up dying alone or something
yeah i dont get this
people think I'm a dick for reasons unknown to me
>>17340842
just dont think you are better than them, just become a leech
>>17340893
>just dont think you are better than them
I think this might be part of the problem. I sort of have a superiority complex. I look down on people a lot.
>just become a leech
What do you mean by this?
should i kill myself??
>>17340829
idk
Oh, it's this thread again...
Just tell me what to do ;-; im in deep depression
Everything was great we had been talking for 2 months , shit seemed legit. She loved me and I loved her , one week into the relationship and she acts distant as fuck , as if it goes it goes , which has me feeling the same way , like why care if she cares. Which is only going in a downward spiral. Wtf could of happened ?
Like why care if she doesn't care*^.
Bump....
She must have seen you use "could of" in place of "could have" or "could've", you illiterate cuck.
How can I smile more even though i have no reaso too
Lobotomy usually helps
>>17340811
Eh, too extreme. Anything else?
Weed
Alright I thought I'd never have to post on here but I'm getting desperate for advice since nobody in my family is willing to help me.
I've been unemployed for 7 months now and have been trying really hard to get any kind of work but having no luck here (live in a white trash town in north Florida and miserable). I don't have a car and only have a GED with some work experience but every decent job around here wants you to have a 4 year degree so am I just fucked? I've been thinking about going to trade school while working a shitty fast food job while paying for rent and I'm still looking for a roommate but no luck. I can't move in with any family members or join the military at this point so what would be the best option for me? I really want to get out of this town again mostly because no opportunities here and it just stinks of my past and I feel trapped.
>>17340781
Forgot to mention I had some money saved up and been using it to pay rent but now I'm running super low and won't last for another 2 months.
There are tons of posts like this on 4chan. The only real option, aside from accepting where you currently stand, is to take major risks. I sold all my shit and moved to a city I'd never been to for college and sold my car. Then I got a job in another city I've never been to where there are opportunities. If it was easy, there wouldn't be so many people like you wondering what to do. You either take the leap or be like the majority of people out there who wish they could have a new life but don't do anything about it.
>>17340781
Get any full time shitty fast food/cleaner job and go to trade school. Or get the full time job save like fuck and then move to a new city and work a fast food job for rent then find a new job. That's your only choices really.
is being 20 yrs old and never went on an airplane before just as bad as being a virgin
No, you cand easily buy a plane ticket and you don't have to worry about being arrested in a police sting for ir. Unless you are a muslim, then it's no big deal
Yes no one will ever fuck you because you haven't been on a plane.
>>17340766
not really cant buy a ticket cause my mom is lazy and stingy
So, a few months ago I realized i was also attracted to guys. big whoop.
But this isn't about me. This is about my good friend of 3 and a half years i would like to start a relationship with.
I know that there's already a heap of suggestions you guys could throw at me, a lot of them being "don't even try it will just ruin your friendship" since I imagine threads like this pop up every day.
But here's the kicker: He says he's straight, but me and my friends have caught him multiple times getting off on traps. (not irl. We caught him on webcam/screen-share; my life isn't a poorly written porno.)
I haven't told any of my friends or family that i am bi yet, and obviously he technically isn't right now. I know all of our friends and family would be okay with us both coming out, but my main fear is that he would back out because he would be so uncomfortable.
A lot of plans, may of them his own, have been aborted simply out of it being too awkward.
How do I the gay?
>inb4 take HRT and become his trap dream.
I already asked /lgbt/ and they just said "succ his cock".
pic unrelated
>>17340760
When you caught him jacking it to traps what was the follow up conversation like? Or did you just pretend like it didn't happen?
>>17340808
he more or less tried to deny it the first time or two since we only brought it up afterwards, a few times later he was honest about it, we didn't mention it much. Even before i turned bi, I told him that it's nothing to be ashamed of and did my best to support him.
After a while he said (only after we had brought it up again) that he no longer liked traps.
We then caught him again like 2 weeks later, but now, maybe two months after that, he's back to the "I don't like traps" rhetoric again,
>>17340824
weird
Well you can try talking to him one on one, the risk of course being that you would have to come out to him and seeing as this fag is so far into denial he might out you to everyone. Would you be ready for that?
Parents are using psychic abilities to stalk me. Help.
I'm a person that prefers to be alone especially during the morning. Every time I'm just sitting in my room my parents don't do anything they just sit there not making a peep. Every time I leave my room or come home or something they're in my shit and stalking and harassing me.
Today I went downstairs to go to the bathroom and grab a cup of water and I was enjoying the isolation I never have. As soon as I go in the bathroom I hear my dad come down the stairs and he's in my shit. Just to get out of my house for a bit I went to a lake and just drank a beer by a tree on the river bank. I had the urge to shit so I got in my car and went home and said "finally I can put my beer in the fridge and take a shit" nope. As soon as I get home my moms in the kitchen and I can't bring my beer in (I'm over 21 she just looks for reasons to bitch and beer is probably a good one) and she's sitting outside the bathroom so I have to shit with them hearing everything. It's like every time I go to shit they start walking around the bathroom and just standing near it. I literally never get to shit without an audiance and its ruining my stomach and bowels because it makes it so hard to shit I always end up quitting half way through.
They're literally always there. What do I do? There's no solution I can think of they literally know when I'm going to be home down to the second and are there to piss me off. They always follow me downstairs and around the house. How is it even possible they time everything like this?
Fucking move out...
>Cleaned the bathroom
>Started some laundry
>Called my aunt and talked for an hour
>Went to the store to...
>Waitaminute
>Son just walked into the bathroom
>Have to stand right next to the door just to make him uncomfortable
>Washer beeps, but still I must wait
>Why won't he move out
I'm so going to fuck with my kids like this
