What'd you do?

Just make more bad decisions so you have something new to obsess over.

I tried spending as much time as I can with friends, I tried reading a lot, I tried to overcome those nagging thoughts by writing songs, I tried sleeping with other people, I tried occupying myself with manual labor like fixing a stairway and putting up shelves, but nothing has worked so far.

I still find myself constantly ruminating on bad thoughts. I don´t want to go to a shrink because I can´t afford one and my parents would never allow me to go to one. I am 22 btw

You are certainly depressed, but it might not be "severe". It would take someone qualified to tell you for sure, although I personally lean to saying you are fairly severely depressed.

Definitely get help though. I was basically where you are (I was diagnosed with severe depression ranging back close to a decade) and once I got help things got a lot better.

I am still an introvert and still play games, but I am a lot more happy, I can communicate with people with more confidence, and I am a better person around my friends.

Depression had really sucked a lot of life and energy out of me, and it feels great to be where I am now.

You're around that age where you should be exploring and taking risks.
College is a great time to get away from home and really get to know more about yourself.
Get a job make some money and go see the world.
If you're not big on traveling find a hobby, learn a skill, just be productive.

It's hereditary.

Do you have a good face for a buzz cut?

Get to your doctor and schedule for some blood work. Could be some deficiency like you suggest.

More likely though, it's just male pattern baldness. Freaked me out at first too but you seriously do learn to stop caring about it. Do yourself a favor, don't fight it. Dont take finasteride or use rogaine. Start cutting it short or, you know what, let it grow. Bottom line, learn to not give a fuck.

Real men focus on shit that matters. Like pussy and beer.

The end.

Perfect match!

also to add the brand of the piano is Furness? if anyone has heard of it

>>17288174
Pianos like that usually cost more.

It's prol junk.

>>17288174
Youtube what to look for in a used piano. It' not a big processes. If you looked inside and it looks good, and you like how it sound and it feels and works good, then that should be enough.

You're either getting a good piano trying to be sold asap, or a bad quality piano. I assume it's the latter, in my experience. But if you like how it sounds, that's all that matters.

But you might grow really tired of it quickly if over time you start to realize how it sounds low quality. That's what happened with me. Cheap piano, over time the sound started to really bother me.

MDMA

Paying attention to her.

>>17288150
First times ARE shit, no matter how experienced you both are. You either accept that and take what pleasure you can, or you accept that and look forward to the second time.

What makes the second time work is that you both pause to ask what position/foreplay/rhythm the other prefers.

For some reason - heat of passion or an odd sort of shyness - too few people pause to ask that the first time.

why did you repost this?

It was a good job in the 80s. Since then it's been boom or bust- you'll make a mint when you work, but there will be long bouts of unemployment between gigs.

Go cheme instead

Not wanting to pound her until she's numb would make her think you're creepy.

>>17288005
Same

>>17287976
Absolutely nothing creepy about bringing condoms to the date. If it gets to the sex just use it, if it doesn't you don't have to mention that you have it on you.
As for actual sex, the best you can do is try to enjoy the moment instead of worrying about your performance or anything like that.
Lastly, nothing wrong with you being virgin at your age.
Satan bless, anon, you will be fine.

>>17287766
Why dont you get some friends and relax. You have 4 years of undergrad to worry about fucking people.

>>17287766
Get a friend and start kickin it to girls. Go to the mall or wherever and start chatting it up

If not hit up match or tinder - its not too hard you just got to want it and dont be shy

From 1994 to 2005 there were over 3 and a half MILLION home invasions in the U.S. every year. That type of crime has got to be scary enough when the invaders just tie you up and take your shit. But it has to be devastating when they beat you down, tie you up, and make you watch as they rape your wife and/or daughter....or kill them right before they kill you. I know that it'll probably never happen to me, but I owe it to my loved ones to make them feel safe....to protect them. If someone kicks my door in when I'm home, they will be met with gunfire. Why call a man with a gun to come save you, and hope that he gets there in time?....if you even can call. I promise you that almost every man, who was against guns, and had his family brutally victimized while he stood by helpless, wished he he'd had a gun in that situation.

Learn how theyre derived.

MechE here. You shouldn't need to remember an equation for every circumstance. A general equation can be created and manipulated for most things.

Pro tip. In the future, your physics problems will cease to have numbers

>>17287505
This. If you know the theory, or enough of it, then it should be easy.

I had to resort to cheating to be honest.
On my first year at college the teacher let us all keep our paper with the equations written down. In my second year I coudln't and I failed until I decided to cheat, I wrote them in almost invisible pencil on a paper and sat in a blind spot in the room which was pretty big thankfully. I don't know how smartfags manage to pass these exams.

>>17287488
Do you have a favorite genre? Such as fantasy stories, love novels, historical novels, police stories...

>>17287494
I can't remember. I must stress how long it's been since I've read literature not assigned to me.
Realistic fiction, I guess

>>17287517
Well, that's vague... here are three off the top of my head. Two stray away to the "realistic" just a tiny bit to help you find a genre.

>The Three Musketeers, by Alexandre Dumas.
One of the classics. If you haven't been assigned to read it, I recommend it; there are plenty of reasons why it has stood the test of time. The protagonist is quite the rascal.

>The Player of Games, by Ian M.Banks
I'll warn you: this is sci-fi. It kinda leans towards espionage. The story isn't too shabby, but it starts kinda slow. It talks about this alien civilization having developed a game they claim to be as complicated as life itself, to the point that they measure one's worth in gameplay. No other requirement are needed to be servant, soldier, doctor or even emperor then to win a session of the game of the corresponding difficulty. The protagonist plays the aliens on their game, unbeknownst to the fact that he's being played by both the alien government - and his own.

>God's Left Hand trilogy by Paul Hoffman.
It talks about how a teenage boy's life foretold to be the angel of death pans out. No fantasy devices of any kind are involved - no magic, no miracles, no anything; less mushy then one might expect at first glance to boot... and plays a lot on the "brutally honest" trope, which I love. Whether the "foretelling" is even believable is open to debate. Just a dark story, some teenage angst, a couple of memorable characters and lots of philosophy. Religion and places are entirely fictional. I personally found it very enjoyable.

>>17287420
>Is seeking certain traits in a partner reasonable?
Yes, as long as the traits you're looking for are reasonable themselves.

>Experienced anons, does/did your loved one tick most items on the "want" list?
I don't really have a "want list". We had common grounds and we had our differences. I'm in an ongoing relationship right now, we've just celebrated our first anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Still love her like the first days.

>>17287420
People get obsessive. Exhaustive lists or extraordinary expectations often ruin a relationship.

I've noticed these list change with experience. What starts of as
"blonde hair", "blue eyes", "tall", "Brad Pitt"...
Dwindles down to
"Fun loving", "social", "romantic"

And those definitions change over time within the relationship, but they end up revolving around who your loved one is.

You just need to get out, the guy of your dreams may be a spitting image of your dad, or he may be the opposite. You won't know until you just get out and meet people
