Will it stop the itching or will it itch less?

I recently caught myself becoming more and more dumb with every year. Somehow concepts that were easy to understand now seem to be difficult and impossible, however, they have the same exact level of complexity, it didn't change. I struggle with remembering, lost an ability to write in my native tongue, now I'm making mistakes and can't see any logic in my own thoughts. Feels like fog in my head. Everything I've been learning is forgotten, I do remember the fact, but can't remember anything behind it.

Just say you care for him and thank him for making you who you are today. It doesn't have to be perfect to be heartfelt. It is coming from you, that should mean a lot to him.

>>17202305
Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I like the first sentence a lot.

I want to capture how I feel well and make sure he feels loved, in a way that makes sense for a father figure -- adult son relationship.

I wouldn't want to be told.

>>17208305
How do you know she didn't start in with the dog first?

>>17208318
This.

We didn't get to hear he dogs side of the story.

Dog whistle. Air horn maybe.

My aunt once let them talk, then proceeded to make them listen to her talk about her religion. They never bothered her again.

Just something to consider.

>>17208272
Troll them.
Answer the door naked holding a severed goat head and ask them if they'd like to come on.

Lol that's to much.
But what if instead if them knocking on our door I knock on their door.

Really deep.

New high score!

Here's the rule I follow:

>are you friends with a girl?
>then you're 10/10 on the friendzone scale

Never be friends with girls. It's weak and not a good look.

>>17208152
You couldn't make more vague question, could you OP?

>>17208163
I want more than just normie tier advices, so I posted the question here. It's better than your average "hurr durr my gf left me, how do I get back with her", "whee, I want to kill myself, because I'm a miserable human being" etc.

>>17208171
Please specify your question and I might give you some hints. What do you need advice for?

>>17208015
not alone in the house and bet her parents wouldn't want that either

They'll probably find a place to fool around either way. I'd hope you've had the "talk" with you son unless you want possible grandkids soon in case they mess up.

>>17208021
Why not alone in the house? If its drug related I am 100% sure he wont consume any. As for sex i don't think he will either.

>>17207942
Just go out and start looking for a girl. Go out with your friends and go hangout more. Put some distance between you and her.

>>17207998
that's the thing though - I couldn't be any more social at this point.
I should look for a girl though.

>>17208037
If she wants to hangout just make up shit like you have a birthday to go to, or something stupid that you think she'd fall for. Again, just dont see her as much

Antidepressants really can help, but you may have to try a couple different kinds to see what works best for you. I've tried sertraline 50mg (zoloft) and it gave me a lot of side effects, but Prozac 40mg works for me.

It's the only thing that has made my depression marginally better. It's not a magic cure, but for me it sort of numbs my depression and anxiety to where they don't overwhelm me as much, and I can somewhat function in society. I still battle with it.

Therapy is pretty much bullshit, unless you can find a decent one (which is nearly impossible). The ones I've been to just gave me printed off papers about how to change your thoughts, manage anxiety, and bullshit like that. As if I didn't already know?

You don't necessarily have to make an appointment with a psychiatrist to get on ADs. Any MD can prescribe them, so even if you mention to your primary physician that you're feeling this way, they'll likely prescribe it.

>>17207933
Try to take a day off work to go see a doctor. Call some doctor offices while on a lunch break.

>>17207961
I didn't realize my pcp could prescribe psych medicine, that's really good to know because I could see him before work some mornings. I take is prozac is prescription only though right?

Growing up would be a nice first step.

>>17207920
Getting revenge over him won't make your wife less of a cheating slut.
Either stay with her and forget about this, or dump her and move on.
He doesn't need to "pay" because he didn't do anything wrong, he isn't committed to you and he didn't rape her.

Revenge is childish.

Ending the relationship should be the one and only thing you do desu

I hope you don't lose half of your belongings, though

>realpartykid
Yeah I didn't even watch the video. Come back with a less retarded name, and I might watch your shitty clickbait video.

>>17207892
Title? Don't judge a book by it's cover. The video is going viral.

>>17207885

Thanks for this sjw feminism bullshit. It's literally the stupidest video I've ever seen in my life

Nice quads

Social skills are like a muscle that need to be worked. If you don't interact with people, your social skills disintegrate.

I have a friend who never comes out to anything because he has "anxiety". The reason he has anxiety is because he never comes out to anything. He doesn't see anyone else other than me and 2 other friends once a week. That's not enough, we're social beings and we need real interaction.

By thinking you have some sort of disorder will only make it worse. Your social skills are weak because they aren't worked enough. Apply the "fake it till you make it" mentality and work your social skills. Try not to be too analytical of social cues and behaviours. Spend enough time in social situations and they will come naturally. Just remember that if you want others to like you, remain positive and try not to be offended.

There's no doubt that you want to be around other people. You're just uncomfortable at the moment because you lack the social skills. If you're anything like my friend, you are comfortable only around certain people. That's because you've spent enough time that you've learned how to act in front of these people. The key is to learn how to act in front of new people. By doing it a lot you will become better and eventually you will want to meet new people.

>>17207830
I agree with this. I'm still not good socially but have gotten so much better after getting a job where I'm forced to interact with people (after spending years interacting with literally no one, ever). I went to therapy and it did jackshit, it just made me feel worse because the therapist literally kept treating me like I was some sort of retard. I still have insecurities, anger, and anxiety from that experience. But putting yourself out there works.

>>17207830
>He doesn't see anyone else other than me and 2 other friends once a week

not op

dear god, that's way more than I do...
outside university, where I have no friends nor collegues I rarely see anyone within months

the ironic part is, that I do not feel myself being shy or having anxieties, it's just that I never had friends or a social life.
Throughout my school time I have been bullied heavily for nearly a decade.
I guess I have never learned how to act or preform "socially".
It makes me sad, every attempt within the last 4 years to obtain relationships (friendships) failed horribly. I do not know what to do.
Reading books and internet articles or psychology guides did not help either...

You're overthinking just chill on it

>>17207763

Do you know her name at least? Be there tomorrow with a fully charged phone

>>17207783
No, I was so tired I forgot to ask.

But she said my name when I left and smiled.

Oh god, did I forget her name?

>>17207756
Bad idea.
Better schedule your time to study.
sleep at 12 am, wake at 8 am, start studying at 9 am take 30 min break every 2 hours, take 1 hour break at 4 pm, at 10 pm review what you've studied, repeat.

>>17207756
First tip: don't.

If that's not an option, the main thing is to go to non-stop library, or some shit like that. Seeing other people work motivates you, and the bed at home is tempting. Don't overdo energy drinks, or you'll just have caffeine crash, and feel even worse. And reconcile that there's gonna be times that you're not gonna learn shit.

Tried not going to sleep?
