this post is going to be semi stupid but

recently i've been seeing videos/pics of my old friends/ people i know underage drinking in clubs restaurants etc

at least 8 people aged 18-19 posting drinks they had in the club or saying "hey first drink at *insert restaurant name* is on me tonight" and shit like that both guys and girls (i'm a girl)

i know they haven't gotten a fake ID so how does this even happen? do you just go into 18+ clubs and ask for some random dude to buy you a drink?

hell even when i went to mexico last month i still got hounded for ID to drink legally at 18 because i look pretty young

i'm curious because i'm going to college in a week and don't know how lenient shit like this is or how to correctly obtain alcohol without the police fucking my life

grow a beard and just get the drink as if wasn't a big deal, bc it isn't

Would it be worth going through an alternative teaching certificate program in a state that doesn't pay teachers well?

I graduated 8 months ago with a degree in film/media and a minor in French. I guess my work sucks because every time I have an employer interested in me, I show them my reel and they stop contacting me.

I got approved to seek an alternative teaching certificate, but with the EXTRA college classes, processing fees, background checks, and tests, it will cost me well over $6000. Is that worth it? Teachers in my state start out at 30k. Plus I have a DUI on my record, would a school district even want me with that?

What state? How much are you currently making now? Have you researched that if you got the alternative teaching certificate would it be transferable state to state?

If the investment will still get you into a job that pays more then your current income its not a bad idea, and if it's transferable then once you get a few years under your belt you can move to a place that pays better.

Honestly, before even going that route I'd try doing some more work on your demo reel. Touch it up a bit and try a bit more before throwing in the towel completely.

Hello /adv/
Several years ago I used to be very ugly and of course I was bullied by Chads, shamed etc.
And naturally that had a really negative effect on my confidrence

During the course of those years I drastically and I mean very drastically Improved my looks, my body and face and so on.

But here's the problem a childhood,highschool of being treated like shit can't go away in a day. IT has semi-pemanant affects on your confidence so how can I fix this?

I have been aproached by some girls several times but I pussied out because I feel like I'm beeing boring or they are out of my leauge even tho I'd rate my self 8/10 I guess my mindset is a probelm.

Alan Watts's philospohy has helped drasticly but It's not enough.
I need advice from real people.

What would you do if you where in my situation?

Real person here.
1. What the fuck are you wearing over your shirt? You look like you've made an improvement, Those are great jeans and nice watch, but JESUS sweater vest is a bit much.

2. I'm in the same boat as you. I was always a good looking kid but I had long hair in middle school so I got bullied for it.

3. You have to reclaim yourself honestly. Being good looking is power, and having been bullied means you'll never be a Chad. You'll always recognize yourself as you once were. The trick is to recognize yourself not only as you once were, but that inside the mask of who you are now. You might always be self-conscious inside, but that doesn't mean you have to let that be who you are outside.

4. I know. Shitty advice. But to actually change yourself inside you need a therapist and even then it's 50/50 you make any tangible progress.
>>
You've improved yourself physically, but it seems like you've neglected yourself mentally.

My advice would be to focus on introspection for a while. Dig deep into your own psyche. Learning to meditate can aid you in this, as can drugs i.e. marijuana or psychedelics (should be a last resort imo because it can backfire and fuck you up).

True confidence can only be achieved by gaining thorough knowledge, understanding and acceptance of yourself.

Also a bettee fashion sense wont hurt >>>/fa/
>>
>>18618611
>>18618628
Funny thing is people compliment me on my sense of fashion diferrent tastes i guess.

And yes it seems the trouble does lie deep inside my mind meditation and a theraphist might help
I really hate myself for being so shy tho.

>Been with girl for about a month officially, been friends the past year.
>Sex was great at first, but I have gradually lost interest (In having sex, not her)
>Foreplay is interesting but once we get to the actual sex, my mind just kinda loses track and I get bored, except for a few peak moments.

I've tried to spice it up with different positions, paces, ropes/blindfolds/candle wax. They have all worked but only the first time. Each consecutive time I get more tiresome of it and it loses my interest.

We have sex every time we hang out (No more than twice a week with how our schedules work), so it's not like we're fucking every day. Any way to combat this that isn't just avoiding sex until we're unbearably horny for each other?

See a therapist. This is likely you. You might just need variety.

It might be her. She might not be into it either and spoils it for you.

Hoenstly, you said it. It's not /avoiding/ sex. Just don't do it every time you hang out, as an activity.. It's not fun. You probably go to someone's house, talk for a bit, hang out, have sex, watch something and then leave.

Go out on a damned date. DO something. Sex without context, or for the sake of getting off, is always shitty.
You have to actually have an attraction, or it's just masturbating with another body.
>>
Sex also bores me, since she enjoys it I try to watch some porn and not jerk off, usually helps. But other than that I'll lurk.

I live in a small town with no people to really hang out with. I'm currently working on my startup business that should hopefully be in full force at the start of 2018 and I can then move out. I'm thinking of going full cocoon mode until then, because I want to be the best version of myself that I can be (so that I can also attract the best mate in a new city).

I'm going to be bulkin hard and liftan 6 days a week
I'm going to be working on my start up as hard as possible, probably 14 hours a day
I'm going to be as introspective as I can and listen to audiobooks as much as I can
I'm going to eat tons of protein and tons of veggies

Only problem is I dunno how to stave off feelings of loneliness and the desire to have a qt gf. It's not in the cards. How do I stop that? I don't watch porn or fap.

Self improvement / cocoon mode tips general pls

Is NoFap and waiting until marriage possible? I really would like to pull off both.

>I'm going to be working on my start up as hard as possible, probably 14 hours a day
That's not gonna happen but I guess its good to realize it by failing at it. You are most likely not even gonna be able to do couple hours a day of intensive productive work.

In what line of business is your startup?

> I don't watch porn or fap.
>>18618565
I don't think advisable since there is greater chance of getting testicular cancer. Sure don't watch any porn but try to ejaculate every now and then. Otherwise your sperm doesn't recycle and they start to mutate into cancer cells since they realize this ship isn't gonna produce any off spring. Okay that last sentence wasn't completely serious but I don't think any doctor would advice nofap if you don't have active sex life either
>>
Never got the point of cocoon mode. All you do is wasting precious time of your life by cutting yourself off.

Is this girl hitting on me or just fond of me? We work together on separate departments. They came out of a bad bullshit relationship several months back have been single. I think she's absolutely gorgeous and sometimes we hang out.

>Has taken an interest in my hobbies/interests
>Calls me cute
>Has a mean sense of humor
>Laughs at my jokes
>Mentions sex to me
>Jokes about having kids together
>Says I would be a good father
>Shows sympathy for me if things are going to shit
>Doesn't touch me, but her friends do

I know that guys can get the wrong impression when a girl shows affection too, maybe she has been through enough bullshit and just wants to be friends with another male guy.

Also, I'm in my early 30's. My experience with women is really poor, just a few sexual relationships, never a romantic one. I know most people lose their virginity before 16 or 17, it took me till 21. Maybe she thinks that's exotic or something new. I don't know.

I have never validated them or tried to be especially nice to them. We have a lot of fun pretending to be brutal to each other. She's been a lot more forward in recent weeks to me. We've known each other for a year.

i'm planning on keeping it cool these next couple of days but then when she leaves i'm planning on deleting her number and unfollowing her off everything. is this immature? i definitely had a reason to be hurt, we spent a lot of fucking time together and made a lot of plans and then she just blows me off for some other dude. yeah i know it's kind of my fault for catching feelings when I knew what was up, but at the same time, I feel like I dont deserve to be treated like that.

You totally don't. She sounds like
1. A whore
2. A hateful bitch
3. A walking red flag.

You don't need toxic bitches in your life. Drop her NOW, not later.

It actually sounds like she's been trying to get you to drop her for a while but you can't take a hint.

Okay, this is gonna be cheesy but how do you become a vibrant person?

Passionate, bright (it's hard to fake intelligence, but the least you can do is not be dull and listless and instead be engaged), happy. I've always been a low mood, energy person, almost on the cusp of depression.

I have a roach problem and I'm begining to lose hope. I live with other 4 people (currently there's 2 of us in the house) but we're strugling so fucking hard to get rid of these roaches and we 2 are the only ones who give a fuck about it.

He has been spraying all kinds of shit since 3-4 MONTHS ago and still they haven't died. I'm serious, we both have been spraying liters worth of spray in a nightly basis and they keep coming back.
Please, please tell what to do, I'm desperate, they even began lying eggs on my clothes and even can hear them at night.

I grew up in a roach infested house and my parents tried all sorts of powers, sprays, traps. Really what will work is paying for a professional exterminator who will put streaks of gel bait around hotspots in your house. The roaches love the stuff and the bait sticks around for months. We never saw a roach again after a week.

If you can't shell out for an exterminator the only thing you can do is move out of the hellhole
>>
>>18618507
sprays don't do shit bro unless you've got the professional grade stuff. What you need is the gel bait. check out stuff like advion dupont shit and also some gentrol IGR discs.
https://www.amazon.com/Advion-Syngenta-Cockroach-Bait-Tube/dp/B002Y2GNVM/
You can also check out home depot or lowes, they've got some stuff in there that's decent like the combat/raid roach bait traps.
>>
>>18618512
My roomate and I have been thinking about the exterminator, but all of us are only college students, so unless the other 3 agree on hiring the guy, we can only keep using the sprays. The problem is that we can't move (speacially I'm stuck in this shithole), we can't afford a better apartment.

Sometimes I cry, no not weep, just cry. As though my tear ducts unintentionally leak. It happens often when lying down but sometimes when sitting or standing too. I don't know why, it is not brought about by irritation or inflammation or emotion. It just happened then, as I was reading something, only in my left eye, a single tear.

Do you push people away when you're going through depression? I've been slowly but surely pushing people out of my life for the past two months due to a depressive spurt and I don't know how to stop. I do want to be alone right now and not burden my friends with my problems, but I don't want them out of my life forever.

Horey shit, guise. I just found a new masturbation method.

>clear desk of space
>put on some porn for "atmopshere"
>place two pillows on desk
>slap on a rubber
>stick pee-pee between pillows
>go to town

I don't quite remember how I got this idea, but this shit is amazing.

- cum much more intensely
- get a thorough work-out
- sweat drips from both head and balls
- legs begin to shake pleasurably
- when finished, feel so relaxed and at ease
- moving around is a little harder, since your entire body feels so damn good
- holy shit, does the body feel so good
- can feel the orgasm on every atom of dick
- stomach also feels like fat was burned

I never had such a good time aside from actual sex. What are some other possibly benefits we can gleam from this? Like exercise and potential weight loss? I don't think I'm ever going back!

Long story short... My longtime gf cheated on me and my Father died within a week of each other. Flash forward to now... Its been 2 years since this happened. I stopped working out and got fat. I went from a A student to dropping out. I was very social and was good with women now I never leave my house or talk to anyone. I have no drive to do anything with my life. I have signed up for fall classes but I'm concerned if I can push through it. What can I do to get my old life back.

Principle of inertia applies here - an object at motion tends to stay in motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest.

Which means, the first steps are gonna be the hardest, and you're really gonna have to push to get yourself in motion again. But once you get the ball rolling, it gets easier every day.

Make a routine and stick to it. Don't beat yourself up over the days that you slip, just get right back on the horse the next day. Wake yourself up early and exercise, spend some time outside your house in public, call a friend or family member and talk to them.

If you can spend the rest of the month getting used to simple activities like this, you'll already be much better off when you start your classes in the fall. Don't give yourself an excuse to blow off those fall classes.

You can do it, anon, just take it one step at a time.
>>
>>18618616
I agreee

But with one caveat

You can't do it, if IT is getting your old life back.

You're changed, and you're sad, and you will be for a while. There's something to push through.


Jordan Peterson's advice is helpful here.

Think about where you are. Write it down. All the shitty bits.

Think about where you want to be. Write it down. All the good bits.

Think about the broad steps you need to get there. Write them down, in broad strokes.

Think about the smaller, attainable steps you can take to get to that first step. Write about those and set up a schedule to start achieving them.

The basic principle is to break something up into smaller steps if it's too daunting, and repeat until you CAN do something because the only true failure is inaction.
