So outside of this whole "waah waahh my gf left me, teen drama, teen anxiety and depression, temporary sadness" bullcrap.
How about we get a genuinely intelligent or at least mid-intelligent philosophy thread?
Things like... are millions of dollars going to make you happy if you're a disfunctionally bad person incapable of happines, social activities and being content?
Is life hard or is your brain hard to function? Is it worth staying alive in an incredibly boring money-based world where the physics and logic is as dry-wet as the handicapped way we are born? Imagine if you were born in a high-fantasy world where you have completely different pros and cons.
Is non-existence and having standards really so bad? What if there really is life after death? Consider that there are 6 billion people on this planet and you could have been born as any one of them, being randomly selected to exist in their body and brain for 80 years, then imagine those multi-billion planets out there all with life on them. What if you were born an alien?
Are you defined by your genetics or are you capable of making new neuronal connections to save your brain from stupidity, autism and sociopathy?

Nope. Free will is a myth.

An intelligent question would be one that hasn't been asked millions of times, nor has been answered.
What you are proposing is, "Playing" the intellectual.
Just, go read some books.
Plenty written by much more revolutionary folk than you'll find around here.

Hello /adv/. I just failed my driver's test for the second time now, and I don't know why I'm so shit at driving. I'm a smart guy, but somehow I find driving to be extremely difficult. Anyway, I really REALLY want to get it right the third time I do my test.
Does /adv/ have any tips, besides "drive more"? I'm not an American, so if I want to practice driving I have to do it with a professional driving instructor and it costs a shitload.

You got to tell us more information. What specifically did you fail at? Staying in the lane? Not doing your turn signal?
>>
>>17309174
Also my problem is not with the driving itself (clutch, steering, switching gears all goes smooth), my problem is with the traffic part.
>>
>>17309181
My biggest problems are anticipating what other cars are going to do, and mostly, keeping focus 360 degrees around the car.
I have trouble registering what's going on both in front of me, behind me, and next to me.

Is there any way out of my current situation?
>24
>kissless virgin
>not ugly (told I'm attractive quite often)
>socially functioning
>no friends
>no gf
>jobless
AND
>also a bit reserved
>totally fucked up situation with family, only have contact with mother and brother. This affected me since age of 12 or so
>can't remember last time I was happy and innocent. I feel constantly sad about my life and the way things have gone
tl;dr I sit in my room, no friends, no job, no gf, never have had any of that. All I can think about is the life I want passing me by and I have no idea how to kickstart things.
It's hard to be social when you have no money so that counts me out. Girls think you're pathetic if you're on Centrelink. And I can't get a job because everyone wants tonnes of experience even for basic shit.
I just want off this ride. Why is it so hard to make it?
People who do know me would consider me happy, but I honestly think about killing myself on a daily basis. I fucking hate how things have turned out for me.
----
Even having a girlfriend I feel is impossible because being a virgin at my age is utterly pathetic. Fuck, I haven't even kissed someone. I'm not getting any relationship off the ground without openly stating what a massive loser I am, at which point it probably won't happen. Then all my other factors such as being broke, a depressed peice of shit, and having no friends are going to screw it up.

>no gf ever, only went to a date (or dinner) ONCE
>at least i have a job i guess
>can't remember last time I was happy and innocent. I feel constantly sad about my life and the way things have gone
And this, i'm suicidal all the time, and i have suicide thought everyday, but never did anything because i'm scared of pain.
I had planned to live alone for rest of my life.
I will value my relationships with my friends and families as long as they value it as well.
But i'm not gonna commit efforts anymore,
I will answer their efforts, but i won't initiate it.
But just think about this situation simpler.
You have 3 choices ahead of you.
>Kill yourself
>Continue Living as you are, since nothing matters
>Change your life
And the rest is just decide what to do to achieve your decision.

How do I last longer in bed /adv/?
So I have had sex a lot since about age 16 (27 now) but over the last couple of years I have been having a problem where I cum really fast when I have sex, I used to be able to go for about 20-30 minutes but the last few partners i've had I only last a minute or two and I can't seem to stop myself cumming so fast.
The last 2 times I don't think i even lasted a minute before i came but because I had a condom on I just kept going for as long as I could after I came so it wasn't awkward.
I have tried thinking about other things, squeezing the base of my dick, masturbating a few hours earlier but nothing is working.. It's getting to the point where I'm nervous about having sex because I don't feel like I'm lasting long enough so I'm avoiding having sex altogether.
Has anyone else experienced this, what could i try?

Adderall will boost your confidence and help your mind stay on whatever you choose so you won't focus entirely on cumming.

Have you tried practicing edging when you fap?
>>
>>17309161
I can fap for a very long time but I haven't really been edging, will that help?
I fap every day without fail, sometimes twice and I read that masturbating too much can cause this so maybe I should try to cut down and start edging.

How do I keep myself from turning into a huge fucking bully? As a preface I'm diagnosed with Bipolar, so maybe it's my meds not doing their job, but let me explain.
Lately I've been feeling the urge to be an absolute shithead to people. Bullying, degrading, pushing around, things like that. I never get the urge to be physically violent, but I just can't keep shaking the urge to tell people to shut up or that they're annoying and worthless. Verbal abuse kind of things.
I got in an argument with my S.O's younger sibling and ended up verbally destroying them in the process. I apologized, but in the end I couldn't help but feel a wave of satisfaction anyway. I wanted to keep doing it, make them feel horrible for just existing.
It's sick and wrong, I'm well aware of it, thus why I try to hold my tongue and calm my nerves, but the urge still scratches in the back of my head like an angry cat.
What do? It's starting to get to a point where I'm itching to yell at someone, anyone for the smallest transgression. Should I just talk to my doc? I don't want to fuck up my relationships because of this.
Also, I've never had anger problems before. Even before I was medicated I was incredibly calm and almost apathetic to everything negative that affected me.

Pro tip: Girls like assholes. Not long term, but by that time, it will be too late for her.

>>17309084
People call this Bipolar, but I call it intolerance for stupidity. I have the yearning to put people on blast all the time, and I don't mind doing it.
The trick is to not act like a dumbshit and be sensible. Why you're off yelling, you could be telling people the same message in a more polite tone.
You aren't bipolar, you're a person with a short fuse in relation to dumbshit. You just need to practice self control, so when you do tell people these things, they are more susceptible to listen because you are being more polite about it, and a bonus, you will usually get your way.
Don't misconstrue an alpha personality trying to break through with some over diagnosed disorder, learn self control.

Alright guys so I am not sure how to handle this situation.
So somebody broke my phone by doing the good ol' " I'll take it from your hands, say thanks and give it back after ten seconds " unfortunately during this process he dropped it like a retard and now he's realizing he has to pay for it.
The problem is that I went to a center for repairs to see how much it costs and the price is around 300 euro's and the second he heard that he came up with a bunch of shit that I personally don't think is true, ex: claiming he comes from a poor family even though he has a really fucking expensive razer headset that he broke twice and bought a new one each time, claiming that he read through the mall's rules and they said that it somehow doesn't make him guilty of anything etc.
Also I know his parent's will most likely pay for it since he is a NEET who never worked a day in his life, but he constantly says that his dad comes late from work and his mom works overseas, so I never get to talk to them.
I honestly think he just doesn't want his parents to know since that might affect his NEET lifestyle.
What do?

Don't be tempted to join cults like eckankar with promises that you'll live forever, as a former memeber i was thorughly raped when i tried to leave and they stopped me from saying anything, as i looked in youtube about complains after years of sexual harrassment, i found people who have also been raped by that cult, tell everyone! don't be tricked into joining!

/adv/ help me please I feel like I'm going crazy
I think the movie the Conjuring 2 has traumatized me, maybe for good.
Combined with the fact that me and my cousin were watching scary videos the same day probably made it worst.
Lately I've been having severe panic attacks when I try to sleep.
I feel like something is on my back and then all of a sudden I feel like it's trying to "posess".
If it was a real possesion I probably would've been possessed right now, and I wouldn't be typing this.
I search up the symptoms and bam, turns out I have pretty high anxiety (took an online test and scored 88 out of 100), and I've been getting panic attacks and am in constant fear.
I know there's nothing there because if there was, weird shit would've been reported by my roomates (live with 4 people in a small apartment, think of the smallest apartment and divide it by 2).
I have not told anyone.
Also, before this I used to have the feeling that I was floating every time I tried to sleep, which has been going on for the past few months/years (can't really tell).
>will continue because I feel this is getting too long

I have a history of being gullible.
When I was younger I remember hearing about some woman predicting my state was going to get hit by an earthquake.
I was scared shitless, I was hearing voices in my head, hands shaking, I think I had a mini panic attack that day.
I also have a history of being traumatized by paranormal videos and movies.
When I was younger me and my cousin were talking about ghosts a lot.
I used to watch ghost hunting tv shows and wouldn't be able to sleep.
I'd feel extremely uneasy (like now but twice as worse) and would cry to my mom.
It was a horrible experience.
Right now I just had another one of those panic attacks.
I suddenly felt dizzy, hands started shaking, I felt like I wasn't me, I felt lightheaded, I felt like I was floating, I felt scared.
I got up and got a glass of water and now I partially feel normal.
My heart is still racing and I feel chills right now (another symptom of anxiety according to calmclinic).
I just don't know what to do, I just feel like bursting in tears.
I need some advice, should I go see a doctor, a psychiatrist?
>>
Have you tried sleep aids like Melatonin?
Have you tried anti-anxiety techniques like box breathing?
>>
>>17309069
Meditate and do things that are not related to that. Sleep in a different room or position. Sleep in a different environment. Do different things to get different results.

a few weeks

>>17309058
Depend on if she is an attention seeker or not.
Some girls take months to do so and some girls will jump in straight away.
Or some girls just give up forever.

That's not what monkey branching is. Monkey branching is when the girl looks for a new relationship once she's checked out of the one she's already in, and she leaves the first guy to be with the second.

Body language. Is he closing off his arms, constantly looking away as if he's after an escape route? Then he wants the conversation to end.
>>
Are they concentrating on something?
Try a greeting.
If they engage you with a response, initiate conversation.
If they appear to be trying to continue their concentration on whatever the fuck, they're busy and probably don't wanna be disturbed.

I should be writing up my project right now... its just I've lost all faith in my abilities to do anything, I honestly feel like nothing matters anymore. I just want to go to parties and get wasted. I used to have all these life goals of going to top universities but now I don't have the previous near-unconditional loving support of my parents and respect from my teachers.
I was in a similar situation during the beginning of this academic year, but I turned it around and dominated my academic life. One fuck-up in the exam and I'm back to square-1

Being brutally honest here.
Unless the girl is morbidly obese, she's likeable/dateable.
You can not name one trait a guy wouldn't be put off by. You'll find a guy who's into you if you just put yourself out there even a little. There's nothing you should have to change about yourself.

Let me cut through the bullshit and say that I gained 20lbs over the past year. Reasons why I got fat is not relevant, it happened and I am losing weight. The problem is getting my boyfriend super horny around me again.
Is it possible, /adv/? He has dead dick around me unless I really jerk him.
I get hit on still and one guy in particular is a /fit/ fanatic who is always hitting on me at the gym, I can see he gets hard sometimes when he is talking to me. It makes me wish my boyfriend would get that excited around me.
What should I do?
