Internet addiction.
How do i break this?
I spend about 8 hours a day online, but most of it is just going around in circles on news sites, saving hundreds of images, watching trash on youtube and just browsing the porn that exists, barely even watching it.I have pretty bad anxiety and depression and am always exhausted and scared to do much, so i just fall into a spiral of doing nothing online all day.
i find it more debilitating than my klonopin, or my alcohol addictions. at least with those addictions i'm up and going out of the house and living life.

You remind me a lot of myself. Go for walks or find a new hobby. Drawing and lifting helped break my internet habits
>>
>>17334548
so do you just do other stuff when you get the urge to use the internet, or if you feel you were on too long u make yourself walk?
>>
>>17334535
Literally turn off computer and go outside.
I have just as bad internet addiction as you, this is only thing that works.
I have a date and in case I get busy I'm worried I have a pimple on the foreskin of me penis shaft.
What cream can I use to cover it up?

tretinoin woulda killed it in a day, but its a little late to get a prescription for that. nothing you can really do. maybe buy a micro dermabrasian kit and essentially let that flatten it, deal with the puss and stuff.
maybe use this as a chance to seem stand up and just dont have sex tho
>>
>>17334534
My date is on Saturday

>>17334546
you can go to a doc today, ask for tretinoin and apply it til it falls off, but its not recommended for penile use so you might have a hard time convincing your doc you really need it. id micro dermabrasian it maybe but penis pimples are tricky

Ok guys, I need some real advice here.
>be me
>19yr old male
>5 months ago
>live with twin brother and mother in a medium apartment which we rent from my father (divorced years ago).
>brother got himself a gf, she's autistic and should according to me be in a mental institution.
some info about brothers gf. Let's call her bgf.
>She is also from our neighbouring country, so she has to travel a while to get here.
>She comes and visits for about a month at a time.
Mom is not fit for work, so she is a stay at home mom. Collecting her social security checks and whatnot.
>Mom starts to get real tired of my brother and bgf's shit.
>Autist bgf never said a word to our mother, not even a humble hello.
>the way they stack dirty plates and cups in their room (brother and bgf basically never go outside, and just sit in the room). and then bring about 20 dirty plates and cups and fill the entire kitchen counter.
>Mom and I have to clean their shit up.
ff like 1 month, gf has been back to home country and is coming for another visit.
absolutely not looking forward for her arrival.
>mom decides enough is enough, she noped out real quick.
>she moves away from me and my brother.
>Me and twin brother alone in apartment.
>bgf arrived about 1 week after mom moved.
Btw, my brother is now paying rent. I'm seeking a job.
>Try to engage in conversation with autist, she scuttles into my brothers room like a crab from under a rock.
>Try to engage in conversation with brother, he locks his door and tells me to shut the fuck up.
>suddenly I feel like I'm being disconneted from my brother because of this girl.
I think to myself ''They'll probably break up soon, who the fuck wants to be a autist caretaker?''
ff to now
Bgf has been here a couple more times, staying here for longer every time.
She is here right now, and I'm literally getting sick and tired of eating frozen microwaweable food.
There is a little more to it, tell me if you want the cont.

Be more strict with him and don't let him have his bull shit.
Alternatively, look real hard for a decent job and endure their shit in the meantime. When you get enough money, get your mom and leave them. I know it sounds horrible but you must never be a slave to someone just because they are your relative and you want to have "a family". He will come to his senses and besides, you have to save the sane part of the family (your mom and you).

Hey everyone , hope you're doing well this afternoon.
I got the wolf school medallion , and I really like it. Problem is , the fucking chain it self is huge !
The one on the left is the one that it came with, and it's long as hell, I'm 6 foot and the thing goes like halfway between my pec cleavage and belly button, I look like an idiot wearing it .
I added a rusted chain on the right that it's enough of a length where I can hide it under my shirt where the button up for collars starts , but then I have the real chain dangling under my shirt .
Is there anyway to remove it without damaging it ? The rusted one is hook lock, while the original looks like it it's chained on to the end on both sides .

There's not a slit in the chain for you to open wider and slip out from the ring?
ps need cleavage for true measurements
>>
There's this weird almagamation , are you talking about the small indents of the chain where they hook onto that big circle above the medallion? It looks like it's still connected to me, just not as thick of a radius .

I'm 19 years old, and I'm unemployed. I'm currently attending full time summer classes, and they take all of my time. I was suspended during the spring due to a low GPA, so I'm trying to dedicate all of my time this semester to my school so that I'm not expelled, as that would be the next step.
My parents were aware of this, and despite trying for half a year to get a job during the spring, it didn't happen. My parents are convinced it's my fault. They constantly call me a free loader even though I've told them countless times I'm focusing on school. If they ask me to do something in the house, I don't immediately jump up, but I do get it done, when I'm done with the homework I'm currently working on.
Today my dad threatened to beat me because I told him to shut up when he was interrupting me. It isn't the first time. He hasn't raised a hand against me in years, but the threat is still there. My (highschool dropout, stay at home) mom called me worthless because I was saying I was spending my time on homework.
My long distance girlfriend who I see every few offered to let me stay with her, but I'm currently broke and don't want to cost her that much money. I also have a test coming up that has to be taken on campus, despite my classes being online. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask, but, what do I do /adv/?

Oh, forgot to add that I'm afraid that if I leave, the abusive comments will fall to my younger brother and sister instead, and I don't feel that they should have to endure that sort of thing.
>>
>>17334474
You sound just like me. I Just turned 18 and have no college acceptances or job ( I quit my last one). Well one thing I'm currently doing is spamming job applications in hopes that I can get contacted for an interview.
>>
>>17334474
Leave, but keep in touch as much as possible with the younger siblings without sounding over bearing to make sure the parents haven't taken their verbal or physical abuse to the next level.
What are you studying? Is it a sure thing you get a job after you get a degree?
Have you look at all places with a help wanted sign anywhere are just the places that seem best for you?
>As for the OP pic, I who the girls are on the left and right but who's the girl in the middle?
I think my parents fucked me up. I'm hesitant to call it abuse because I've never really been hit and I always had my needs taken care of, but at the same time, I'm aware that my perspective might be a bit skewed. What I definitely do know, however, is that it wasn't a healthy environment.
My only memories of my father are him screaming at me for the tiniest offenses. Like when I wouldn't eat mushrooms (I've always hated them) and he'd yell at me at full volume for about twenty minutes while I'd cry and try to eat it and suppress my gag reflex because I really really couldn't stand them. Or when I accidentally dropped my fork, stuff like that. He didn't have anything else to scream at me for because I was a star pupil, always straight A's even though nobody ever really helped me with studying and I was absurdly obedient. The kind of a kid that would sit at home and read a book while everyone else was having fun outside. I also remember him always preferring my sister, even saying terrible things about me to her when I wasn't present (I heard because of an open window in my room.) It's crazy I still remember it, I was maybe seven or eight.
My mother was different, but ultimately not much better. (Part 1)

She'd never hug me, she'd always make fun of me from the earliest age and I've never had any support from her. I was top of the class - I still am, even now at my university - and that still wouldn't be enough for her, she'd say that it wasn't because I was smart, but because everyone else in my class was stupid. As I got older and started standing up for myself (I wasn't the type to cry, I only got more defiant and belligerent each time), she'd call me arrogant and full of myself. Once they divorced, it was even worse with her. I chose to live with my father because it was simply easier (as I got more rebellious, he started avoiding me instead of arguing with me while my mother would engage in long-drawn out debates). She would start guilt tripping me about not spending more time with her and she'd make everything about herself. One very telling example:
>have an exam
>I'm supposed to meet her after the exam
>after the exam, I suddenly start feeling horrible, my head keeps spinning, I feel like throwing up
>dial my mom's phone
>"Hi mom, I won't be able to come today, I feel like shit, I think I'm going to throw up."
>stand up abruptly and my vision goes dark while I'm still on the phone, I faint and fall down in such a nasty way that I break my nose, blood is everywhere, my classmates are horrified and they're calling an ambulance
>once I get a hold of myself, I quickly assemble my phone (it fell apart), dial my mom again and tell her what happened in a really shaky voice, I'm sobbing a little
>"Nice excuse not to visit your own mother."
>hangs up on me while I'm being transported to hospital
I've recently done some soul-searching and realized that, probably because of this, I don't believe anyone could ever love me. Rationally, I know it's a nonsense, but I just can't convince myself otherwise because my self-esteem is so low. I'm 22 and a virgin. (Part 2)
>>
>>17334425
Guys approach me relatively often because I hold together well on the surface and I seem really confident/outgoing (I don't show a sign of weakness, ever), but I always chase them away because I'm just too much of a coward for this.
I know I'm rambling, but this is the first time I've ever put this into words. Does anyone have a similar experience? How do I begin to love myself?

>>17334422
stop blaming your parents. we are virtually the same, right down to the mushroom issue. my dad never yelled at me for not eating mushrooms, but hed yell at me for not eating lasagna. id literally throw it up after trying to swallow some and he would tell me im being a drama queen, a sissy, an attention whore, etc.
everyone has parent issues. stop saying THEY fucked you up.

What kind of jobs are you looking for?
You need experience and a proper degree to have some of those types of jobs.

I really don't mind a broker position, but some type of analyst position is another thing I'd like to work towards. I really just want to get my foot in the industry somehow.
I'm afraid I don't have any experience in the industry, but I do have a maths degree.
Hey /adv/,
So I need some help figuring out whether this is even worth dealing with or not. I matched with a Thai girl on tinder that's doing a work program here in America that seems like a qt3.14 and started talking to her a bit. Conversation seems pretty one sided but that could partially be caused by half the stuff I say getting lost in translation. We've talked about meeting up and looking at some of the local architecture this weekend (she studies architecture in uni). However, she doesn't have a car so I'd have to pick her up and she insists that she brings friends. I can understand that, she's new to the country and doesn't want to get taken advantage of, but I just think that would be really awkward.
I'm kinda getting a vibe that she's just trying to use me as a taxi to drive her and her friends around town. Like I'm not against showing her around town, I just don't want to basically be her uber with no chances of her doing anything romantic with me.
What say y'all? Worth taking her and her friends out? I suggested that we go solo the first time we hang out but she said first time she'd prefer bringing a friend(s?).

Take her friends, she's already asked you twice and won't let her guard down based on your insistence.
Consider it a fun experience and be outcome- independent. It'll increase your chances to get a proper first date, as long as you come off as fun and proper. Maybe her friends are more into you, who knows how the universe provides?
>>
>>17334402
Ask to bring one of your friends as well so you have someone to talk to incase it gets awkward.
My guess is that she doesn't want to get in a car with someone she met online in case you may potentially rape/harm etc. aka stranger danger.

I'm bisexual. I just got out of a gay relationship. I only went after fem guys which led me to date my bf. I have a crush on this girl, but with my past I'm afraid a lot of girls won't date me. How do I navigate this? Also, to any girls on here, would you date a bisexual guy who was the top in the relationship?

That's tough man, speaking from experience.
You've officially got gay and straight people labelling you now. You have to know her view on lgbt, first and foremost. After, ask her out. If she questions who you've slept with in the future, be honest.
>>
>>17334395
Doesn't bother me, my boyfriend was with a guy before me. It's actually a hot thought of him with another guy.
I don't see why this would be a problem with this girl unless she was immature. I wouldn't worry about it.
>>
>>17334395
in my experience, no one has to know your sexuality. if its very very common knowledge you date dudes shes bound to find out, so let her know when you feel comfortable.
i think the key is to make it seem like its no big deal. if its a big deal to you its going to be ab ig deal to others.
Hey guys
Id really like to get an honest advice from you. I would advise someone else on an issue like this one, but im kinda out of my mind whenever i think about it and i feel like i need to ask someone about this. And lets say im not able to ask friends for such an advice.
Almost a year ago i broke up with this girl i was with for two and a half years. It wasnt just any kind of a girl, she was somebody really special to me.
She had this opportunity to go somewhere, and our life paths just went different ways so we broke up in the end (long story but this kinda sums it up). I thought about her lately and i have seen she hasnt been active on social networks since february, which didnt seem like her.
So i kinda asked around and ive heard she is doing some mosaics in some cathedral in Barcelona (she is an artist and i know this is something she would enjoy doing), and that she just doesnt feel like being online. At the same time it felt like a relief, knowing that she is ok, but it also felt kinda sad.
Yeah, its kinda stupid to dig trough the past and ask around, but it was really bugging me for some time. She is a person that i genuinely and honestly care about, so i just felt like asking around.
Our relationship just ended abruptly and i didnt have some kind of closure, it all happened so fast.
Would asking more be a good idea for this one? Would contacting her be a good idea?
What would you do and why?
As ive said, maybe i could give someone else an advice for a similar case, but i just feel lost at the moment. Other peoples opinions from all around the world would at least give me some kind of a comfort or a way to find peace or closure or whatever... Anything would be nice.
Thanks for reading

Hello,
I met a wonderful woman online in a game nearly 2 years ago. This woman I did not think much of her at first but she gradually became more and more interested into me, being around me, wanting me. She is married and has two kids and lives in canada, is pretty allround sick and can only work halfway jobs at best, needs medical attention for her heart and such.
Anyway, she was totally into me all the time and I had a relationship with someone else but got dumped and then I was her best friend for awhile until it got serious. This was about about end summer/winter last year. I really enjoyed being with her online, first with text and then with voice messages that i sent her and she sent me, then we did skype live for hours upon hours per day. We spent all the time of the day together, her and me until we finally agreed to meet for the first time. So she packed her bags, said good bye to her begging man to not leave her and went straight to my town.
We spent 9 magically awesome weeks together just the two of us 24/7 pretty much. Now she had to leave and go back home again. One week before she left she got a message from her man saying that he will take her kid away because she is neglecting her. It was planned that she would stay for 3 months but because of her health she had to leave earlier, on the 6th. I think I cried nearly the whole week long and due to the distance we did not do any further plans. Pretty much day by day I guess we agreed on.

The big problem is that her man has all the cards in his hands: He maks the money, he has the insurance, about 20k debts are all in her name cause he went bankrupt once already. She might not be able to work a normal job to support us. And then there is the distance and because she is not in the EU moving is very very tough for either of us. I cannot marry her because she is married so going this way sucks majorly too. And packing my things and just moving is tough but I do not even know how it will go on as I do not know what she gotta decide on. Before she left she said that she neglected her children and family for me and that she wants to spend time with both of them, which makes me majorly nervous because it means lesser time for the two of us. Plus, she still lives with her man and can only be there until he comes home. Coupled with summer and that the guy does everything is super nice to get her back, I am feeling very very nervous.
We both love each other like nothing and the worst is that I now held her in my arms for over two months now and I don't know if this is enough for us two anymore and we need that physical connection. Plus, it is fucking tough to sleep alone without her besides me, spend my time without touching her and it is literally driving me insane.
So yeah, love is awesome but it hurts to be seperated from her.

She left her man and a kid begging to come back to meet some guy she met on an online game.
Now, to be that guy, what do you thik she will do to you? How long will it take her to find another guy. Because it sounds like when she does she'll just drop it all and go meet them.

passion is intrinsic. people dont go out like 'IM GONNA TRY TO BE PASSIONATE'. think about relationships. people dont TRY. they find something that makes them passionate.
if you cant actually be passionate, then its just called motivation or work ethic.

Well, here it goes. I'm finally going to be honest even if I come off as an asshole.
Since 15, I wanted to be a "player/manwhore" type. I was inept with girls in high school. Lost my virginity at 21. Second girl I had sex with is my current girlfriend of 4 years. I was her second sex partner as well. She lost her virginity at 16 to a guy who is the type of guy I wanted to be. I learned all the mistakes I made from asking questions about their relationship. In one year, at 23/24 I've had sex with 5 other girls on the side. She knows I've cheated, we've worked through it.
I'll be 26 this august. been faithful the past year, mostly because neither of us are working currently so I can't get away to see other people. Her and I live together. Since I've gotten a taste of the life i've wanted to live for ten years, I can't handle it. I'm so anxious staying faithful with her. It eats me up when a girl who lives a few blocks away from me is willing to give me a blowjob in my car at 1 am, if I can only find a way to get out of the house when we're settling in for bed.
Other problems are that I have VERY bad generalized anxiety and what I consider derealization. She has been kind of a care taker for me. Nowadays I don't communicate my anxiety with her anymore. I take care of myself. But at night when my thoughts are keeping me up, it is nice to just know someone familiar is in the bed next to me, even if we don't speak about it. I'm scared on my own my anxiety will worsen to a point where I'm not functional in society again.
Another problem is that I can see myself marrying her, settling down, having children, going camping, taking my kids fishing. She gets me because back when we started talking I was real with myself.

Now I just small talk my way into girls pants, I am whatever they want me to be, so I don't reveal myself to anyone anymore. Do I really want to throw this away so I can small talk 100 girls, so 20 might be interested in me, and 5 might be willing to sleep with me? I'm almost 30. I'm too old to reclaim my high school days. But I just genuinely like fucking, sexting, and slutting around.
I hate the thought that if I leave her, I will be an old man being a whore and won't have any real connection with anyone, and if I do stay with her I will be giving up the exciting sexual life that I genuinely want. I want my cake and to eat it too. I've asked for an open relationship and she says she can't trust me. She doesn't want me to leave her for someone else and she can't marry or be with someone who can just give it up to anyone.
>>
Leave her, she deserves much better than you.
>>
>>17334285
I realize this too. I truly do love her and I want her to be happy. I just hold her back. I want her to have a family and have the solid loving family unit she has always desired. I just want to see her happy.
I probably can't offer that to her on the time frame she wants it.
I just don't know how to deal with my anxieties of being alone. I can't see myself going from sleeping next to her every night for the past 3 years, to occasionally having a stranger sleep in my bed, and sleeping alone most nights.
