It will pass

What's troubling you?
Take a deep breath, have a cold drink, listen to some calming music and drift off to sleep.

Why do you want to be easy? Nobody likes prostitutes, anyways.

Of course, I'm joking. Prostitutes are people too, and they deserve respect.

>>17226254
Help me, I want to sleep so bad.

Have you tried not having insomnia?
I think that may increase your odds of sleeping.

There's loads of sleep mediation soundclips on youtube you can listen to. I also find anyone talking with a monotone/calm voice helps. Terence McKenna and Alan Watts are my go-to-guys.

What action are you proposing? If it's something criminal it doesn't sound like you meet the definition of insanity, more like crime of passion. You even have a motive.

If you want serious advice you should add more details.

Nope. The person would be charged with whatever, and leave their lover alone and depressed. So the person would probably be leaving their theoretical lover even more fucked up than before.

>>17226090
what're you stupid? no it wouldn't be defensible. nothing was even done to you, you should be helping her get over it.

you don't even say what it is so I'm leaning toward troll cause we get stupid questions about revenge all the fucking time.

btw, if real, she needs to confront her own dissonant thoughts and learn to control them. this comes from someone that had a cousin molest and try to rape them at 7 among a litany of other experiences. gotta get over it, seriously. there's worse shit and it doesn't define you as a person. I've almost zero sympathy for people that live in horror the rest of their lives and can't control their head space. especially with all the fucking drama you present it with, this isn't some fucking game of thrones shit. and the fantasy of fanfare oh man. not only have you and your gf built up a massive dramatic story but you've made it so that you can be the knight in shining armor that is greeted with fanfare for killing someone you elliot wannabe.

good lord man get a grip. for the sake of your partner, I guarantee it doesn't help to have you indulging in "psychological torment" as well, and willingly even, enforcing it in your partner's mind as well.

you've enforced the problem. THERE'S SO MANY FUCKING ISSUES HERE I CAN'T EVEN LIST THEM. you're gonna need professional help, but here's a start.

btw, most people don't take kindly to having people try to murder them and you might find yourself the murderee and the malefactor going free on account of self defense laws... so again, horrible idea.

troll out of ten, got a response and hearty, WTF man

Are you aroused by either men or women? Do you think about a relationship with either?
Maybe you've been masturbating too much/got used to porn. Maybe you've been using death grip. Maybe random sex doesn't feel good to you, and being romantically interested in the person would make it better.

>>17225997
I think about getting a girl a lot but I have some intimacy issues.
I have never heard about death grip. But when I think about it it takes so much work to get off to porn maybe that's the problem. Thanks.

Sexuality isn't always so simple as being straight or gay. For example I thought for the longest time that I'm asexual, since I was the same could masturbate to any kind of porn, but didn't feel anything in particular while having sex. Didn't sleep with anyone for a couple of years, until I met my current SO and sex with him is fantastic. I guess at least I just needed the emotional connection that I never had with any of my other partners. I'd say experiment if the chance present itself, maybe you'll come across someone or something that suits you.

>>17225960
I don't understand, how does the fact that she's not a virgin make a difference to your relationship?

She's not your property, bro.

>>17225963
Because the way she acts with me, the kind of person she is with me and that I fell in love with wouldn't do that. I know it's my fault for creating such an image of her in my mind but I didn't do it by myself out of thin air. Having sex for the first time with somebody she claims she didn't even love while being sixteen at the time is not normal in my experience.

Explain to them that if you get this scholarship it will go a long way towards you being able to whip your dick out while exclaiming "the doctor is in the house" non facetiously.

>>17225939
>I suck at interviews.
1) Go sleep early.
2) Take shower so you don't smell.
3) Don't forget to put on some clothes, especially pants. Man without pants is man without respect :-D
4) Don't be late, enter the right place / room, say what you want, who you are, sit down and wait for instructions...

You should know why you want to become PhD, because they will most likely asks you this. You can't fail this.

I've built a robot in my finale year project. Should I take it with me ? Or would I be a show off for that?

>>17225929
If you do, don't have kids, their genetics will be messed up.

>>17225929
Can confirm the Westermarck effect as if I hadn't grown up with one of my cousins I'd be head over fucking heels in love with her because she's fucking awesome. However, I don't agree with the whole cousin love thing in general so it works out. However, if it works for you and your cousin, OP, who am I to judge the person you love?

>>17225929
>opinions
Opinions are subjective and therefore doesn't matter, because everybody have different one.

But having babies with blood related partners is proven to have higher risk of passing up some genetic disorders. The chances are still small even if it is mother + son or father + daughter, but still exists even in cousins case.

>http://www.yourgenome.org/facts/what-are-dominant-and-recessive-alleles
Look at it like this:
Both female and male generally has some hidden disorders. But since genes tends to replace "bad parts" with "better" from combination of both, all it mostly matters is the pool you are choosing from. When you are blood related, the chance of both partners having SAME disorder is higher than normal.

So go on OP, shank your cousin if you desire. The chances of your kids having some nasty hidden disorder are low, but still higher than average. Just remember that by doing this you are slowly but surely (statistically) sinking your future generations into oblivion.

Why don't you ask him to see his student card you nut?

>>17225880
Ah true lol. Thanks

>Says he hardly ever uses it
>Only has two girls there whom he has met online

Yeah no it sounds like a burner fb. he either doesn't use his full name irl amongst his real friends etc or gave you a fake name/fb

I had warts for a good year or so because I bit the skin around my fingers. Using apple cider vinegar every day for like 3 months ended up getting rid of them but just saying its super fucking painful and can kinda ruin your nails. Not sure what you can do about the warts under the nail tho :/ Eventually your body should fight them off.

>>17225858
OP here my warts are probably caused by the same reason. I have to quit that shit

bump, looking mostly for what other people have done/would do

>>17225844

if you aren't paying at least as much as she is toward the living arrangement, there isnt really much you can say.

>>17225860
I'm 100% equal to her in living here, if anything I do more since I am constantly cleaning up after her.

>>17225844
Ask her for a threeway.

if someone stops you from loving then they don't love you.

I also forget to say that he's in another relationship right now, but my new girlfriend was his love for 3 years, that's why I feel awful inside

Well, there's nothing you can do but tell him. What do you want to do, date her behind his back? This all puts you in an awkward position, I understand. I'm sure you've dealt with being in awkward positions before.

The only thing that's different at all since I left is that I don't have that much to talk about. My life right now and probably until I return in a week is basically work and in my free time talk to her and maybe listen to music for a half an hour and watch a few youtube videos. I still make it a point to think of topics to talk to her about so we can have nice conversations.

>>17225768
Look, you're far less closed-off than most guys, so I'm not sure either what the hell your girlfriend wants.
If she won't tell you, there's not much you can do about it, other than telling her that ("i want to improve the situation, but you have to help me understand what exactly is wrong so i can fix it").

Otherwise, just wait out the week until you get back, since it'll probably resolve itself when you're back to interacting in person (i'm guessing that's what she misses).

>>17225883
She has told me about this before and that she mentioned that I was giving her too much affection as opposed to conversation (which is understandable, when I'm tired or exhausted while talking to her and I have nothing to say I have a tendency to shower her with love and affection, both as a natural urge and so there isn't silence), and that I'm not very talkative over the phone (which was true, I was extremely exhausted from work in the weeks leading up to that conversation), both of which I feel I've corrected.

I asked her today what she would want me to do and she didn't give me a response.

>Otherwise, just wait out the week until you get back, since it'll probably resolve itself when you're back to interacting in person (i'm guessing that's what she misses).

She's currently upset with me over it though. We had a big fight tonight over it which pretty much boiled down to

>You're closed off! Why are you closed off?
>I might seem closed off recently because x is troubling me, which you know, and y is troubling me which I'm ashamed of it troubling me so I didn't tell you, but ultimately I'm not closed off to you
>Why are you closed off? You've seemed closed off for awhile
>I am not closed off
>Why did you close off to me?

I think the gist of her opinion is "You're open with me emotionally in terms of your affection and love and feelings towards me, but not towards other things". Which doesn't really make much sense to me because there's really nothing going on for me to express my feelings on.

I don't want her being upset and feeling bad over this, is there anything I can say to make her realize "He's not closed off to me, he's just off because of exhaustion and lack of sleep"?

are you actually transgendered, or do you just like the idea of looking like a girl? can't really tell. either way, you'll probably find a way.

>>17225655
See a psychologist first

>>17225655
Not going to tell you how to live your life, but if you're not sure about your gender I'd advise you to avoid anything that's irreversible. All of the trans people that I know have always known or felt that they were born in the wrong skin. I'd say to test the waters with the gender queer thing and see if you like it.

Dont do it. You need to think that hes probably fucking other girls too, which might be what hes up with right now.

If anything, talk to him about it. But dont rush anything and think thru it, dont get dissapointed aswell if you dont get the response you expected.

>>17225646
In my experience when people push for open relationships they're just fucking you until something better comes along.
The whole polyamory thing is an excuse to sleep around but to still have a sense of stability in life. If you're not okay with him fucking or pursuing other people it will be a very bad timr and these relationships tend to go up in flames very quickly.
So, use your judgement and try to be open with him about your needs.

>>17225658
Oh course he's with other women. He's done stuff with friends of mine right in front of me, with my encouragement.

If you have a walk in closet convert that to your recording booth. Otherwise either buy an isolation shield or build one and do it somewhere else.

Bumping for interest

I actually live in L.A. and wonder how to go about just going to Hollywood and auditioning. I have no professional experience whatsoever, but have been told by teachers and friends this may be an untapped talent of mine.

Have you tried auditioning for open calls over the web? Gotten any feedback on how good your acting is versus sound quality of voice?
