It's been a year since I've heard from him and I am really worried about him.

Is there anything I can do to make him snap out of his paranoia?

He seems to think I've taking something from him from what other people tell me. Well the problem with that is he has his own security system with video and sound that I helped him set up. I don't really see why he would turn to me as well as other random people. I found out he is just accusing random people of doing things that don't even make sense or even live near him.

Is my dad going senile or something?

Is there anything I should say to him or text him to try to make him snap out of it or come to his senses? He hasn't been answering any calls at all and even people who I've met from his job say he has been acting very strange. He has even burned some bridges that were very important.


My biggest problem is that he also ignored everyone that warned him about the people he had all those bad relationships with.

He took the words of complete strangers multiple times against people who actually actively cared and looked out for him.

Even after being burned for over 30k usd and poisoned by them (his ex wife)

Move to a state that doesn't shit all over your liberty.

They aren't

Some people get into relationships out of convenience rather than both wanting to put in effort to make things work. When it's less convenient, the person is doesn't care as much about being in it.

Caring shows vulnerability, weakness in a sense.
People who care are easier to take advantage of.

As far as I know the only side effect is that it teaches you to extend your "play-time".

>>17256977
What if it extends to the point that I can't cum when I'm with a woman? Does that happen? I've never been with a woman.

>>17256629

I've been edging in order to try to be able to last longer, but since it requires a lot of starting and stopping, going and slowing down, etc., I kind of wonder if it's practical for lasting longer with a real woman at all. Like, wouldn't she get frustrated that every few strokes, I'm like "wait a second" before I go again? Like, "what's this shit, 'Red Light, Green Light'?"

Let me guess: you 'hinted' that you liked her, but never explicitly said so or asked her out? And now you're butthurt that she's interested in another guy?

>>17256636
No, I just can't maintain a text conversation and it's shit

>>17256626

oh that's okay

How is travelling a better use of your time and potential?

>>17256594
Damn dude I've been thinking about this myself. I graduated with a CS degree and I've had a few jobs since then but I feel like I'm wasting my life when I could be traveling.

Guess your on the right path, I just work shittt jobs full time no college and save every cent and move city to city

bumping because same issue

Get a website blocker extension. Block those sites that will waste your time. Uninstall your games. Be outside. Stay away from your computer or anything that enables you to procrastinate or waste your time. Turn off your brain and do what you should be doing. Ignore anything your brain tries to convince you of otherwise. If it's not helping you move forward it's pushing you back so tell it to fuck off. Don't go easy on yourself. Never give yourself a break or an easy day. You will relapse and sink deeper than ever.

Try abstaining from masturbation for several days.

You'll start to feel more inclined to do something.

Get yourself a bottle of tequila.

>>17256464
besides any mind/body altering substances* (probably shoulda said that instead)

>>17256459
Bumping because I'm also curious about this

Anything?

>>17256390

there arent really any places that iwll let you start tomorrow. i mean they exist, but no they arent known for it, there are just certain places that need it.

the fastest ways to get hired are high turnover places. this varies from area to area. call centers tend to hire you within one week. abercrombie and fitch also does that here in la.

the best you can do is apply for EVERYTHING and see what happens

I suppose you could just drive around and look for Help Wanted signs. Sending out resumes and stuff won't get and results for weeks.

If she owns a house, she technically isn't dead broke, she has an asset.

It's up to you whether you want to pay her the money. If you do lend her it, make sure it's clear that it's only a loan, but also make sure that you're in a position that if she doesn't pay it back, you won't miss the money. Also make sure that this is a one-off - that this isn't going to continue happening month to month.

>If she owns a house, she technically isn't dead broke, she has an asset.
Which is mortgaged against the home loan, which is a liability - potentially giving her a net worth of nil.

>>17256365
I would say it depends on the strength of your relationship. She's been gone for a long time and if you pay it, how will she manage with next month's payment? You're setting a precedence where she may expect other financial handouts during hardships and she'll become bitter in instances where you don't help.

>>17256383
>Which is mortgaged against the home loan, which is a liability - potentially giving her a net worth of nil.
Yeah, but the equity in there is hers. If she put say, $20k in as a deposit, she still has that $20k, it's just tied up in the property (subject to mortgagee sale fees and whatnot).

There's no such thing. Drop it and get over it.

What the fuck, /adv/, can I press charges for this?

Just to be clear I have NEVER shown any sexual interest in her and from my perspective it was a purely platonic relationship.

This shit was so unsettling and I get the feeling that I would never be taken seriously because I'm a male.

What do I do?

2/2

the last year of my life has amounted to not much more than memes, crushing loneliness, anxiety, reluctantly doing college assignments, jobs that i despise, masturbating, and videogames. before taking zoloft, i'd lie on my bedroom floor, crying unable to move, fantasizing about using the .22 revolver in my parents basement to finally give myself some peace. now that the zoloft has fully kicked in, i have the same suicidal thoughts, but it seems to be logic based rather than emotional. it just seems to make sense.

should i keep taking the zoloft? or stop and see what happens? i don't know what makes me want to end it more, hating myself or hating everyone else. i put my remaining faith into the idea of healing through an anti-depressant, and it's not working as it should. i know i could switch to another anti-depressant, but i cringe at the thought of feeling how i felt before, and i'm really no better now. it all seems so pointless. has anyone had similar experiences?

alternatively, should i just kill myself? if i can't live spectacularly, dying spectacularly seems like a good second choice. taking matters into my own hands makes me feel a little better about it, and in my mind dying with a gun in my hand seems at least slightly dignified compared to the pathetic life i'm living now. i've also considered maybe using the revolver to perform a homemade lobotomy of sorts, aiming for the frontal lobe would give me a slight chance to live, but with a slightly altered personality or stunted emotions. does anyone know what my chances of success in doing this would be?

>>17256278
If I were you I would go hitchhiking around the country. There's something magical about traveling and making new discoveries. Perhaps that's what you need to do.

>>17256278
College won't fix your depression issues, and may not help you get a job either.

How about a skilled trade jobs instead? Training won't take 4 years and you can start working soon after, assuming there is a shortage of related jobs in the area.

Also why not talk to a professional about your emotional issues? /adv does offer some advice but I think you need qualified help for that.

Are you an Amerifat by any chance?

For what it's worth, Facebook kept pushing the Paris and Brussels filters in my face, while I have't been offered the Orlando one at all. Maybe they just haven't seen the option

>>17256246
>I feel this is a bit hurtful. I am not gay, but I manned up enough to use the rainbow flag as a filter.
I hope you understand how fucking retarded you are. Using a filter isn't helping or supporting anyone. Normal people donate money and/or blood without having to show off to the fucking world. "Oh, look at me! I'm SO sympathetic to this cause! Give me a moment to tweak the colors on this picture to show you exactly how much I care! Oh, wait, this is old news. What's the next fresh story?"

>How can I bring up this subject without seeming like one of those PC-goblins who are trying to be on everyones case about irrelevant shit?
You don't, because that seems to be what you are.

You can't. Internet activism is fucking retarded and so are you if you think using a filter makes any bit of a difference to anything.

If you want to help do something that matters. This doesn't matter.
