More people speak Chinese, learn the most popular variant.

>>17139207
Chinese is way more useful, but depends of why do you want to learn new language.

If you're a weeb, Japanese is the way to go I suppose, but career wise Chinese. That was my line of reasoning when I was deciding between these two and picked the latter.

>>17139207
"Better" depends on your motivation for wanting to learn a new language to begin with. If it's because for business or to make yourself more valuable, Chinese - though it's hard as shit to learn. Probably one of the hardest languages to get down unless you grew up with it.

No reason to learn Japanese over Chinese unless it's your passion or if there's a practical reason in your life to do so.

Saying goodby to your sponsors might be a good start.

>Is there a point to trying to start again?
I'd say yes. I know it sounds ridiculous but there is always a chance that things will get better (although sometimes they actually get worse, but that's another story).
>How would I go about it?
Whatever you decide to do you will need money, so looking for a job might be a good idea.

How far did you get into your programming classes before you stopped?

I have crohns and a sevre anxiety disorder I know that feel. It's hard in society now a days to find the right fit for you when standards are so high for min wage jobs. Maybe look into careers you can do remotely.

>>17139048
I personally think that the answer to the question you're asking lies within yourself. Do you actually enjoy programming on a personal level ? Is it any fun to you ? Do you find yourself feeling happy after a session of intense programming ? If you answered yes to any of these questions just do it, man. Do whatever makes you happy on the inside (and stop caring about what OTHERS want YOU to do, that's YOUR decision). You've somehow been handed some sort of "second chance" at like so do me a favor and take it and make the best out of it. I know this isn't the best way to go about but I'm sure many folks would enjoy to walk in your shoes and you somehow owe it to them to make sure you're happy (I'm sure they'd like you to be, too).

If you're talking about a party where people are drinking they probably aren't going to notice that you've repeated something more than once, if it's interesting just do it. The reason other guys are getting sex is because they are actively looking for sex while you're probably too consumed with your insecurities to bother chatting up a girl or two.

Take a drink, relax, if they don't find what you say interesting they won't remember and you can basically restart the convo anytime.

I'm hearing three things :
1. Social anxiety : always try to remind yourself that other people are human beings too. They do not "know something you don't", they also have their fears, their worries. If you often find yourself impressed by pretty girls, always keep it in the back of your mind that somewhere, somehow there's been (or is, or will be) a guy who's fed up with her shit. She's human, just like you, no need to freak out other than fear of abandonment (which once it's identified will slowly but surely fade away).
2. Awkwardness that stems from social anxiety : the thing is that you FEEL awkward because you're not being yourself, you're trying to hard. If you can feel it, others can feel it too (since we're very social beings that can read minuscule emotional cues). I know this may sound corny but being yourself is the only way to get people to actually like you.
3. "Pushiness" (don't know what else to call it) as a result of fear of abandonment : stop trying to get everyone to like you, it won't happen. If you succeed at being yourself around others, some will like you, some will dislike you, some won't even bother talking to you and one day you'll realize that some even love you.

Bottom line : chill out buddy, any balanced individual will recognize you for what you are: an interesting individual just like all the others (I know I already do) !

Ill try.

By body do you mean that gigantic woman's ass stuck on a man's body?

>>17138981
Left or right?

>>17138987

Left.

It's because you feel jealous of the BWC

If it makes you feel better when I see my white friend with her asian boyfriend I assume she likes having her armpit licked

I'm racist as shit. It's not unjustified, though. People of different cultural backgrounds are fucking different and predisposed to certain behaviors and beliefs. I mean, except for the shitty things. Everybody does shitty things. There's one particular race where I live that's a bit more predisposed towards shitty things, but that's largely due to their shitty parents raising them to be idiots.

Like, everybody's human, just not everybody is worth the effort of being understood.

Why bother? It's not that enjoyable with someone you don't care about. You're just going to feel dirty and wonder why you bothered after.

>>17138825
To get my end off, f course. I'm pretty adamant about it. Or through craigslist. Just someone who knows what they're doing

>>17138821
Ignore the moralfags. There's really no downside to it, just don't do it with a cheap crackwhore. Spend enough money to get a nice escort, and tell her you're a virgin in advance. She'll be able to help you relax and show you the ropes.

Hopefully you are not in Burgerland, because it's pretty much legal and safe anywhere else.

>I'm not a full blown addict

Now, the three of us hanged quite a bit. We were essentially the Three Amigos or whatever that damn TV show was titled. We were all pretty close until about a month ago.

Approximately two to three weeks ago is when the two of them started to hang out more and more. And my dumbass was too much of a dumbass to see me losing her from right underneath my fingertips.

She started coming home either really really late, or not coming home at all. She started hanging at his place not once, not twice, not three, but four or more times a week. I was so blinded by my trust in them. And I just found out today that they both annihilated it.

That's a classic JUST, my friend. I suggest moving to a new town and starting a new life. Maybe even change your name

This filthy bastard, my brother in arms, I was supposed to be his wingman. He stole her from me. And she just let him. She's going to him. She wants him, some fucker who I could have had no outside of work relationship with easily. There's about a month or so (or two not exactly positive) left in our lease. I need to remove her off my savings account. I need to start packing my shit up so I can be out of here as soon as this lease is up.


Now, she tells me that she feels terrible because she's doing this to me. We have so many cherished memories together and she's just throwing them away. Yet she's the one that feels terrible.

I've told her I've chosen to forgive and forget if she sticks with me over that drugged up bastard. We can start fresh. But somehow, I feel that this is NOT going to go in my favor.

It's 1:48 AM on the dawn of the day I might lose everything that matters to me. Give me reasons why I shouldn't be so depressed. Give me reasons why I shouldn't hate everyone and everything and not try to go on a murderous rampage starting with the guy who pushed her to start cheating on me.

>I hear Chinese chicks are crazy in bed.

if all you're basing a relationship on is the sex I have some bad news for you friendo. Maybe she needs to enter a marriage for a green card.

>>17138775
Sounds like she likes white guys because they have that foreigner appeal to her.

Because she's lonely and thinks your friend is cute, you retard.
If he isn't attracted to her then he probably shouldn't. Plenty of guys with yellow fever around.

>>17138769
Do you currently see a doctor or therapist?

who broke up with you?
Also initials??

whats your situation like and what brought about your depression? gotta give us more info

Don't let that deter you from your dream. If you're good at it, and I mean real talent, and you have a proper education, you'll land a job at a high-end company and be surrounded by respectable people who work and perform to a high standard of professionalism, just like any business.

The reason you're surrounded by these types at school is because they think they can get a job in the gaming industry because all they need is "i liek gamz" on their resume.

>>everyone around me who is doing what I want to do is a cringelord.

I've got bad news for you OP.

30k-80k median 53k

and I can't believe people outside of game design take the degree seriously. Game design isn't something you take for the money it has to be a passion.

>How do I stop being a neet?
By going to school or getting a job. Oh look at that, you've already done it. Congratulations.

>>17138659
but i haven't been in school since january and i only get out of bed to eat and pee

>>17138665
But you're enrolled in school. By fucking definition you're not a NEET.

You forgot the detail of your story.

My wife will be gone for the summer, my friend is asking me to go out all summer and do the crazy shit we did before, it seems obvious to say to my friend I can't. However he's not in a good condition and needs a friend to do things with him. I could ask that we don't do the crazy shit my wife would disapprove of but this is what he lives for and would be depressed again about me growing up and being the party pooper.

>>17138637
Also the my wife isn't being irrational, the things we did were dangerous, and not appropriate for being in a relationship.

just stop fapping for a couple days christ

>>17138611
Is that all it takes? Seriously ???

air you losing your hair or eye sight?
