Make it look like an accident.

>>17319329
Say really nasty things about them in a way that makes you look like as asshole without putting blame on them

Please don't kill yourself. It is stupid, it is pointless, and it will harm everyone who cares about you in deep ways that they will probably never fully recover from.

Do yourself and the world a favor, OP. Please? Call a suicide hotline. Then see a psychiatrist. Maybe start seeing a therapist. Get the help you need.

Here is a list of suicide hotlines by country: http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html
Here is a guide to dealing with suicidal thoughts: http://www.helpguide.org/articles/suicide-prevention/suicide-help-dealing-with-your-suicidal-thoughts-and-feelings.htm
Here is a guide on how to find a therapist: http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/how-to-find-therapist
Here are some tips on finding a mental health provider: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mental-illness/in-depth/mental-health-providers/art-20045530
And here's a mental health chatroom that I go on (it's a bunch of mentally ill people who talk about stuff, not anywhere that you can go for professional advice): http://theircvillage.com/chat/

Remember, OP: Even if everything feels hopeless, it isn't. Hope is there, and it's real, even if you can't always see it. And remember that you're strong -- no matter who you are, you've been through bad things before, and you'll get through this one. It's going to be okay, as long as you can come out of all this alive.

And you're not alone. I've tried to kill myself; I've been put in the hospital because of stuff I did because of depression. I went three and a half years of severe depression without any treatment, and it completely fucked me over and almost killed me. You might feel like your life is ruined, or it's already over, but it isn't over until you're dead -- as long as you're alive, you can continue on, make things better, but if you're dead you can't do jack shit.

I'm sorry that I can't help more; I don't always have the right words. But I do hope that I can help enough.

>I'm very skeptical about psychologists in general
Why?

He sounds at the very least highly autistic. has he ever gotten any test made? how old is he? how old are you?

>>17319267
Move out? Seriously it's not complicated, you don't need a psychologist. Your brother is not your responsibility, you have the freedom to move out, find a place that doesn't smell like shit.

>>17319267
Somehow get him outside and spray him with the hose.
Then say "Well I guess you gotta shower now".
Repeat until he gets the hint that he is a dirty, dirty little sewer child.

Dude you are way over thinking this shit.

Sex is not as big of a deal as you think it is. Nobody actually cares that you are a virgin, because being a virgin doesn't even mean anything.

>>17319252
Yeah but I kind of care I want to be able to go no condom (idk how displeasuring a condom is but I find it offputting) and I don't want to have some girl whos had sex heaps and expects me to be some kind of ideal hot dude or some shit whatever goes through there head

Enjoy your unwanted pregnancy.

Ivy level (yale, stanford, columbia), no
State schools and some lesser private universities, probably.

>>17319223
Unless you substantially improve your knowledge, studying to retake exams is pointless, and you'll most likely score around the same anyways.

Generally, your GPA and SAT is valid for X number of years before you have to retake or take a compass exam which determines if you need to take any remedial courses, so either way you will get placed AT level and not above.

Your best bet for better universities is going state for an AS/BS and transferring out with a high GPA. State universities, that I am aware of, don't have GPA requirements.

Why not go to community college for 2 years, save some money earning the credits for your degree, and then your SAT score becomes irrelevant and your CC gpa will do the talking for you?

Myers-Briggs is the reddit intellectuals equivalent of a horoscope

>Are INTP males screwed?
No, but they do have to fight their intuition in this specific case. That strategy is indeed a bad one. But the solution, while not particularly easy, is simple: find and use a different strategy.

The problem with the strategy given is the ubiquitous common practice of insisting that the guy make the first move. This was once done out of social necessity: for the woman to make the first move simply wasn't acceptable. Those days are over, but the practice has continued as a simple, effective, and extremely efficient anti-creeper heuristic. It neatly filters out those who are too unstable and anxious around women to make any noves at all, with zero interaction overhead. It's not a complete solution -no heuristic is- but it's a good first line of defense. It flags some false-positives -nonthreats mistakenly treated as threats- but this is considered acceptable collateral damage.

The heck of it is that using another strategy doesn't actually circumvent it. If you can stand to make the first move, then you are (as far as this heuristic is concerned) a nonthreat, and therefore would be misidentified by it anyway. So you're not stepping around, you're stepping through.

Bump

>>17319176
I've seen mturk thrown around as a site which pay for writing, but I've heard that the income is quite low, barely worth doing unless you're a shutin or want to make $2 while watching a movie.

I might have an idea for you. What country are you in? What's your degree, specifically? What are you qualified to do or are good at, specifically?

Just google for websites that hire freelancers online. I think it wont be that bad for you since you already have a degree and if you dont have experience you can do simple shit like being a volunteer for an ngo that requires translators or get an intership somewhere.

I, a translator myself, have discovered that getting online jobs isnt that difficult (its just scary). Recently I signed in into upwork.com and I already got my first contract. So... if a translator from a shitty third world country like me can get a job online you can do it as well.

Fucking gotta rewrite 2/3 now because "connection error". This will take some time.

This post, as I have to rewrite this from memory of what I wrote, is pretty short and has less detail, also I'm so fucking shit at formatting, excuse me. Spoiler tags don't seem to work and I didn't know.
Forgot to mention I only had an hour of playtime a day because restrictive parents.
I eventually started actually loving her. Things from there started going much better.
Though, skip ahead to the start of winter and I had to go to some stupid fucking centre for diagnosed kids. I don't remember when or how long I stayed there, all I remember is that it was horrible.
When I came home, I got on and realized she wasn't there. Nothing out of the ordinary, really.
Then next day, nothing. Next day again and so on, nothing. She eventually got on again, but I don't remember too well. She was on a few days more I believe. Last image I have of her is from 13th January.
Yeah, she disappeared. I continued to play, but of course I had less fun. She got on for a fucking split second around valentines, but she logged off before I knew probably because I instantly started messaging her a lot like the sperg I am. She disappeared again all until like April where her brother first logged on and then her following him.
I had about 10 minutes of playtime that day, so I had to cut it short. I told her I would be on tomorrow, but of course she didn't return.
I didn't get to properly say goodbye or anything.

It's been over 5 years with this depression which has caused my to hurt others as I desperately have asked other girls I found likable for help. I know how low that is, but what can you do when you're 14 with a shitty social life
I lost the phone with the number before I learned about country codes, I only remember the last three digits of the number. The phone could be up at the loft, but if that's the case then it's hidden deep within 1 cardboard box out of like 30. My parents won't do anything about those before the house is completely finished, which won't be this year.
Speaking of which, they don't know about this and I don't intend to let them know, at least not my dad. He's the shitter who thought setting a limit to my internet time was a good idea when it just ended up me not getting important things said.
I'll probably tell my mom about things if she asks what's wrong, if she seems to somewhat figure out that something is definitely wrong.
Because of the country being in war and all the recent shootings and stabbings that have been happening, I'm fearing for her life and I have been for a while. I don't want her to be dead, I want her to be alive.
While her leavingdisappearing from me left me in this shithole depression, I appreciate her because it threw me on a different path and got me to be a better person. I can't thank her enough for everything.
Things have lead me to become this ISFJ/ISTJ hybrid, I constantly worry for my friends, but despite that I am pretty much truth feelings a good amount of times, not being SJW at all.

I don't fucking care if she has a boyfriend or whatever, she is still a friend to me and I will not give her up ever, despite some of my friends telling me to give up as it's a lost cause, that she has forgotten me and shit.
I don't fucking care, I just want to see her again. I don't want to worry anymore, even hearing she's not alive anymore would be better than not knowing.

herpes

sorry bro

>>17319169
>The second one was about a month ago.
>a month ago.
Herpes usually shows up 1-3 months after contact. Go to a doctor and get diagnosed, dude. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. Get the uncertainty out of your head and do it asap, you still might have hope.

>>17319174
Alright, will do. Have to wait 16 hours until the facility opens.

Make friends sounds like the easiest solution. If it happens to be a girl maybe that could someday turn into a relationship. Or you could have one night stands.

On a side note regarding your "improvement", it's well & good you're traveling & such, but you also need to work on yourself mentally. Read self help books that will build up your confidence & learn to be content & happy with yourself. You need to get over your ex before you even think about getting with anyone else.

>>17319313
Thanks for your advice. Mentally, I feel like I have grown a lot, though. I've taken long walks on my own, am reading The Power of Now on and off which helps, practicing zen meditation every couple of days and have taken some online classes on self improvement. However, I feel like I am not there yet. Do you have any suggestions for books?

>>17319330
No suggestions, sorry.
That's great then. You playing sports can help greatly with confidence as well. Youre on the right track. Your breakup happened only 4 months ago so don't worry too much about feeling how you are right now. Continue doing you and having fun. Make more friends, be approachable, and friendly. Pretty soon you'll find a girl.

Da fuq

>>17319167
Not OP. At first it's great. I describe it like your favorite team winning the super bowl. It's that moment when they get a touchdown right before the clock runs out, except x2 and lasts 6 hrs.

There's a reason people do it m8, a reason why people become homeless because of it and shit

>>17319139
Have relationships with whoever you have chemistry with, don't feel like you should be seeking only people similar or different to you. In my experience the best relationships have a degree of similarity mixed with some areas of difference. That way there is common ground and you can feel comfortable together while also keeping things interesting and allowing for each partner to fill a specific role in the relationship.

>>17319147
Thanks for the reply,after reading over my post I realised how black and white that approach sounded.I guess the similarities keep people together and the differences keep it interesting.

>>17319139
If you go for the shy girl then being "chill" and "quiet" won't work at all. You have to come out of that and that's why you think opposites work.

At the end of the day though you probably want someone who can bring your out of being so shy and reserved, which could be done by either type of girl really.

>>17319137
get out of your rural shithole. Chances are any interesting people around you are on their way out and you'll be stuck without any potentials. Moving should be the first thing you do.

>>17319137
In a similar boat here OP.I think people like us have no road laid out for us,so we just have to make our own.After being paralyzed by inaction since I finished high school,I've realised that I have to do something,anything in order to move on.

>>17319151
Can't exactly leave this place. I've got no money and a permit. Even if I did leave, I have no idea where I would go.

>>17319155
I agree. It just sucks when you don't know which chess piece to advance, you know?

Sounds like you've run into a lot of shitty people

OP, I know how you feel.

I don't know what to tell you. I guess I'll tell you what I used to believe.
1) Make yourself so valuable, people need you.
2) People you believe are bad that pick to fight with you, you fucking torch them. You do whatever you can to ruin what they have. Let them know not to fuck with you.

You do not torch good people. You do not torch someone just because they have a disagreement with you. You torch them because you know that prick is going to do the same thing to someone else. You torch them to make them fear those actions.

That's about it. Trounce your enemies. Become an asset to people so they'll want to be your friend.

It's not a rewarding or fun life. It's not one filled with love, adoration, and praise; but it's a life you can live.

The only reason I'm choosing not to believe in it anymore is because I'm very sick, I have nobody around me that gives a shit beyond what money I can give them, so I'm going carpe diem and if I die so what.

It sounds like you've seen a lot. I'm not about to start telling you believe in the power of love and friendship.

Living is inherently meaningless, as is dying. There is no "reason" to live, so I can't provide you with one. However, it doesn't have to be a bad experience. You sound like you look too hard for validation from other people, it's not something you can stop outright but at least be aware of it. No one's opinions, pats on the back, or gratitude will ever impact you in any significant way.

>People can sense that I was born in a shithole prideless environment and like vultures they tear into me.
This is blatantly projecting. People don't sense anything, and most of them probably don't even realize you're there when they're not looking directly at you. This is just a problem with your sense of self-worth, for which I will assure you that you are not significantly less or more valuable than these people who's opinions you seem so worried about.

Just live your weird unsubstantial existence, live it the best you can, and then die. If you determine someone you have relationships with to be toxic, stop pursuing that relationship. Nothing beneficial will come out of it. That's all the advice I really have.

You're what's called a "furry."

And: yes.
