How do you cope with the world that operates solely on making money (the business world, the majority of corporate life today), when you are someone who almost completely grew up on fantasy?

I find it extremely depressing. Everywhere I go, everyone I meet, at work, through family, whatever — money dictates their life. Everything they do is to make more money. And there are so many schemes to make money, I learn a new one almost every single day. Another scheme that I would have never thought of, that almost startles me when I learn about it. It gives me this impression that the world is incredibly cutthroat and void of strong character, high moral fiber, values of any kind outside of monetization.

I understand that money is power and this is why people want it. I understand that you need power in order to do what you want to do and give back to the people you care about. Theoretically I don't have a problem with this and see how this makes sense, besides, every action is driven by power in some way. But that doesn't make me feel any better when I see people who at first seemed very nice, turn out that they callously took advantage of others for money.

Everyone is selfish, learn to embrace it. I'd deal drugs from my parent's house if they allowed it, just to make money. Money lets you have everything you need, so you can focus on what you want.

That is why everyone wants it. I want to buy my own house. I want a car. I want to take a holiday every 3 months to a different country.
All of this needs money.

I don't have any problem with it because I understand everyone else is thinking how I am, some are just more determined to reach the goal faster - criminals and corrupt bankers and the likes

That's how I cope.

>>17242701
I can't bring myself to want to embrace it, or want to do things that takes advantage of others. I've lived in fantasy so much and for so long it's made me very numb to these things and bad at them.

>>17242703
Not at all. More like I never really wanted much in my life.

I know that if she would just give me a chance I would show her that everything is okay and that we haven't changed as much as she thinks we have, but she won't even try.

It's hard really loving someone and not being able to show them.

If you really like her, ask her out and risk rejection.
If you just want her because you're lonely, find someone you actually like.
>>
>>17246264
>OP
Right now I really just want to get to know her better, then decide whether or not I'll ask her out.
Also, I said I was comfortable with being single, but I'm not really lonely
>>
>>17246287
I wasn't sure if you were "comfortable being single" or legitimately comfortable being single.
And isn't dating how you get to know someone? Personalities always seem a bit different online so you should really just ask her out before you build up a specific image of her.

Meditation helped me a ton. I finally understand the concept of "forgiveness", which before I thought was a cuck response, but now I see is about accepting what's happened and moving forward by letting go of your attachment to the past. It doesn't mean you forget what happened, only that it cannot be changed and the only option is to deal with the situation as it is now.

am i overly bitter or something? Every time I even see people that give each other "the look" when they like each other, every time I see people holding hands and being all lovey dovey, every time I see people hug and kiss their friends. Any display of love or intimacy (especially in movies and whatnot) I cannot help but cringe.

I'm 19 year old college bro, i've never had a girl friend cause I was fat most of high school (currently losing a lot of it by cutting calories and shit, so far so good), and I've never hated women or anything. I just am physically repulsed by any displays of affection. Is there something wrong with me?

I'm about to start a job at a hospital as an anesthesia technician. I'm very excited but the physician I'll be working under is my girlfriend's father.

How do I not fuck this up? How can I make a good impression on him and show him that I'm not a shitbag or a dumbass?

Nah he's not imagining the worst yet.

OP, what if one of your patients died under anesthesia, and your girlfriend's father is convinced it's your fault because you administered it wrong? What if the patient has children and they all grow up blaming you?

Is it possible to get rid of a vibe that makes everyone hate you? I've always had it since I was a kid people would tell me not to come hang out with them and shit. If I hear good news like a girl getting engaged and I ask oh who's the lucky guy I just get a weird look and nervous answer but if someone asks they just smile and answer normally. If I go hang out with people everyone is passive aggressive against me and treats me like an outsider and hate me.

What do I do? I have currently 0 people to talk to and I'm in the middle of nowhere with no way to meet people and I only see the same people who hate me everywhere I go

Me and this girl have been 'checking it'. We're both 18 and virgins, she used to call me everyday for 2-ish weeks. During the second week we went on 2 dates. We made out, grinded/dry humped and I sucked on her tits in the changing rooms of a shopping mall. This is the furthest me and her have been sexually (unless she lied).

3rd week we didn't talk as much, but on one conversation over the phone she said she loved me (first time hearing that from her). Later that night she got angry at how she was the one always calling me and how I rarely called her (She said sorry and said she overreacted the next day). So I started calling her more often but she never picks up and rarely responds to my texts.

Last time we talked on the phone was last Sunday (she called me). I had an exam on Monday, she had her last one on Wednesday morning.

I called her Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and she didn't pickup, call back or let me know she was busy. Thursday I gave up and didn't call her but we talked on Snapchat for a bit.

Friday, we saw each other in person and chatted for a little bit. I wanted to hug her but we need to keep our relationship on the 'low' to prevent her big bro from finding out about us. So I just went for a quick boob squeeze and she said she would call me later.

I didn't get a call (she's done this before and I called her out on it yesterday night). Still no response from her yet.

how do we go from talking everyday for hours to nothing so quickly?

I remember her telling me how she gains and loses interest in guys often.

I have some ideas as to what's going on,

1) She's losing interest in me, if so what do I do?

2)She's shit testing me, if so how do I pass the test?

3)There's another guy who she's interested in too, and is stringing me along in case him and her don't work out or she doesn't know which one of us she wants to go for.

2/2 cont.

I don't have proof of her and another guy other than last Saturday night her and her old friends hung out at her place while their parents were out. She called me during this time but it was very on-off (called and talked for 15 mins, then had to hang up for a bit then called back). During the start of this there was supposedly 5 people at her house, I think 2 of them were guys. She called one time and said she was in bed and about to go sleep in 10 mins, I can hear a girls voice in the background. 5 minutes into the convo she says she'll call be back and then goes "oh shit" and then the phone drops. We text 1 hour later and then she calls me, she said her parents were back and asleep and most of her friends had left and I could hear 1 guy and 1 girl in the back ground and she said she was watching a movie downstairs (she was narrating what was happening in the movie so I believe this part and she had snapchats of her and her girl friend watching the movie but the dude wasn't in it).

Also on Thursday when we were talking on snapchat and towards the end I asked what she was up to. She replies an hour later with a picture of her and her cleavage saying "I dunno why I'm up so late at night". I couldn't double check but I swear her snapchat number (total number of snaps you have received/sent) went up by two. Meaning she sent that cleavage photo to me and someone else (or I was just seeing things, it was 3am at the time).

What should I do then lads? I was thinking maybe sending her snapchat today and say I'm planning to call her later tonight and then call, but there's a high chance she won't pick up.

I could just wait until I see her at school on Monday (next week is our last week of school).

Any of you guys know what the hell is going on between me and her? (either one of the 3 things I said before or something entirely different?).

If any of you anons actually read this whole text, thanks! and big thanks if you reply.

Has anyone here successfully went from shy, low self confidence to one hundred percent comfortable and outgoing around people?

I used to be the latter, until an incident in my life, so I know that I can go back to it.

So I graduated high school today. Tomorrow is my first day of being a NEET, ever. For about three months though as I start school in the fall. What can I do so I don't feel so miserable? I had surgery on my leg and it's not fully healed so I can't get a job. I can still walk around fine though. Just not for 4-8 hours a day straight.

That's an annoying question, but does your first maybe childhood love stay in your heart for years? Is it special?
Some anime and manga picture it going, and i don't think it's pure fiction.
Because in childhood we don't hide who we are inside and affections are genuine. It was easier to click with each other. Yeah, when you have the feeling that you're thinking the same it's just.

Either this, or i have no idea why i still remember him. I could date another person but it won't be the same. It may be better, but it will be different, i can't picture it in my head.
How to move on from it entirely? Is it even possible, i keep obsessing over it.

I don't think children are capable of love in the sense of adult romantic relationships, and I think it's abnormal for an adult to hang on to these feelings.
>>
>>17245690
Did you actually compare the two?
Some adult romantic relationships are shallow, superficial and immature so i don't see a problem.

Childhood romance may be immature but at least you are liked for who you are.

So, as I just started I obviously can't get a loan or even a rent warranty that some companies give you for renting.

What should I do? Save as much as I can every month? In a bank account? Standard or something special? Or should I wait until I have the requirements to ask for the loan (+1 or 2 years of continuous stable employment).

Also is worth nothing that the salary is about twice the minimal wage (code monkey job), saying the actual number won't help much cause a thousand bucks in different places means different possibilities.

I'm totally clueless about this, up until now I was just a student.

Here is a photo of my friend. This puppy and its deceased sibling was left alone 3 days ago under balcony of my apartment. Our neighbor fed him with cow milk and water for 3 days -his sibling died today and I even learned their presence today.

Tomorrow I will take him to a local animal shelter. But i doubt he can survive the night.
