the value of gold is not static. research the best way to resell jewelry and find out. if it always had the same value thered be no reason to keep it right?

>>17130028
but its always going to go up, isnt it?

if in a few years time i decided to sell it i wouldnt have lost money on it, is basically what im asking

>>17130036
Not necissarily. If it always went up it would be really easy to get rich quick.

Plus a lot of value is added because it's jewlery. I might be wrong, but I'd imagine the gold in the bracelet is worth no where near 1200.

You sound like you're trapped in a cycle of depression, and you need to break out of it! Challenge negative thoughts and assumptions right when they pop up--consider going to a therapist/counselor soon for help if you can't so this alone! Don't let it deepen or your problems to continue to spiral downward! GL!

>Most girls don't reply at all. If they do, they are passive and show absolutely zero interest
Welcome to the wonderful world of dating
Its not gonna get any better, get used to it
Every guy has your problem, many come here looking for answers and find nothing
There is no solution to the problems your having, its a market problem and you can only wait for the market to (hopefully) correct itself

I'm having a different problem, I'll get a match and text with a girl for a couple days, then I'll get unmatched. This last one sucked, since she was pretty hot, and I was just asking about how her job works (after 2 days of back and forth, that she initiated!), and next thing I see is she's off my list.

>>17129960
none of the girls on tinder know what they want

just go to things you are interested in and meet girls there

>>17129951
Welcome to the the one-way Exit from r9k mentality.

First off, there IS the posibility she likes you to a degree, since she was honest about detention.

However, if she wants to be your friend, there's nothing bad with that either, having friends.

But usually, when a girl actually is honest about unable to go out to lunch with you and being specific about it (i.e. "got detention"), you have her interest. Play it cool, look at her body language and the way she looks at you.

Godspeed anon.

If she's cool then be friends with her. Then keep trying your luck with other girls and hitting on them whenever you're with her. It'll go one of two ways, she'll either get a little jealous and try to put the moves on you, or she'll hook you up with one of her girlfriends.

It's a win-win.

>>17129951
Only one question to ask yourself. Would you have fun and enjoy spending time with het if she was just your friend?

If yes then it's a win/win situation. Maybe just friends, maybe more. Fucking awesome.

If no, it's a lose/lose situation. If you just stay friends that sucks and you wasted your time. Even If she is interested in you the only reason you are there is because she may fuck you. But literally every other second you arent fucking her you will be miserable because you don't enjoy spending time with her.

>>17129940
study the material hard beforehand
you'll be quizzed on some of the questions

don't admit to anything obviously, you should be all right since it takes proof to expel you. Not suspicion, proof. The only proof they might have is if you don't know the material. good luck though anon.

>>17129940
Did you cheat?

>>17129954
Unless someone saw op cheating and snitched him out.

The shortest and easiest answer is stop quiting. Finish the projects you start. Use your willpower to not give up so easily. Maybe try starting small stuff first that doesnt take weeks or even years to learn. Make something to eat and use a fairly simple recipe. Keep trying new dishes with more "complicated" recipes. Cooking is just an example.

You have to want to change your behavior. If you dont care then nothing will change and their is no one to blame for your behavior other then yourself.

I'd say be competitive at something or turn all your chores into a game/mission. Civilization didn't come from nothing, for example. Are you a bad enough dude to carry on the legacy of humanity?

Think of people whose job it is to interact with others face to face like a nurse, they have to repeat the same conversations every day but they get creative with it. Anyway, you can make something out of nothing doing that kind of shit. It's not bad.

Maybe is the chemistry in your brain. Or maybe is you low attention span, your brain is used to lots and lots of stimulation.

I'll suggest changing your habit one by one. Change tv or internet for books sometimes (per day).
if you do marihuana frequently, stop. That could be messing with you reward system.

go write the first paragraph now. even if its shit. then go from there.

>>17129859
thank god my uni doesn't have a thesis for undergrads. Where do you go btw?

>>17129859
Get off 4chan for starters.

But since you're here, let me share how I'm also terribly easily distracted and also having a hard time getting motivated...

If it helps, find some nice music to help you concentrate. Some may prefer silence instead, which may be easier to "aquire". In any case, don't waste too much time finding some. Not too catchy and no lyrics to sing along to. Tron legacy OST has done me well lately, but that's my taste.
Then try and turn off your sources of distraction. Internet, cellphone, etc.. If you know you spend too much time on it, turn it off.

The overall goal may be overwhelming, so break your goal into "bite-sized" pieces. Make a list of things you'll need to complete, and cross them off every time you've completed them.

Now the important part. Just write.
The primary source of all writers block is the sensation of being overwhelmed by too much stuff that you have to do. Doing it hard and furious you'd rather not do it at all.
Instead, try doing it slowly... Or badly. Do it comically bad.
The irony is that you actually write something instead of nothing. And you can always correct and improve what you've already written. So just do it badly, at least if it helps you start.

Once you're in "the flow" you'll find your work self-motivating. And then don't stop. Finish whatever part you're working on. Remember, having unfinished work is more fatiguing than finishing it.

I could've written this myself. Bump for interest.

living life to the fullest isn't really about meeting people so much as doing things. the people you meet will be people at the things you do. think about what you actually want to / can do, and then go where you need to go. make an actual schedule for it cuz if you dont you'll jsut sit around at home. people think that getting out of a relationship will teleport them to a bar full of hot chicks, but it doesn't work that way.

you are in college, so if meeting people is important
>talk to everyone in your class
>sign up for every club that is vaguely interesting
>go to any and all local events even if they just barely hold your interest
>then talk to the people there

the secret to meeting people is to meet them. gonna post more advice. it works for approaching women but also just friends.

>>17129900
advice

>dont just hit on a woman

its no secret that women are the ones who are approached, and they make decisions on which men to keep in their lives. that being said, desperately drooling over each and every girl as if they are a potential love interest is silly.

give yourself more value by not letting a woman sway you on first impressions alone. before you ever begin to say anything remotely flirtatious, talk to the girl. see what she actually acts like when you interact with her. have a normal conversation. if there isnt anything special there beyond her looks, friendzone her. or simply stop talking to her. you do not need to hit on each and every girl that looks good enough to be your partner.

doing this gives you more value, and the psychological effects are great. in addition, women will take you more seriously. instead of being 1 of 500 men in new york who went straight for the kill, you took the time to get to know them. whether it goes anywhere or not, this approach also just gives you practice talking to girls in a casual context. its less pressure than trying to impress them.

Same age, same boat man. Personally I can't derive pleasure out of things and my life has been literally one really long instance of bad luck. It might be your perspective of the world, of your life, of your future, or/and you may be clinically depressed etc.. It's a terrible life to live and I wish we didn't. You can try counselors or drugs and such but nothing really works for me. I hope we both find a way my fellow sufferer. Best wishes

>>17129783
Do you happen to do any drugs like weed or other perscribed stuff?

>>17129833
Nope, I'm completely clean. Never touched drugs.

>>17129822
Thanks, it brings me a small amount of comfort knowing that I'm not completely alone in this. I've had a mixture of good and bad luck in my life, nothing too extreme at either end. I wish you luck escaping it.

Wear an ankle brace to bed every night until it stops hurting, make sure you don't get a cheap one tho like pic related, if you buy a cheap one or tighten it too hard it can make it worse.

>>17129700
see a doctor before you end up with permanent damage. trust me on this, i have a fucked up knee now because i retardedly refused to seek medical attention

>>17129694
nope, it's illegal.
assisted suicide is a legal gray. but i wouldn't bet my $$$ on it for manslaughter or whatever else

>>17129694
Even if they became brain dead veggies, it's still illegal, best you can do is hope for a natural incident/accident to take their lives.

why would you kill your parents? Just move out if you don't want to take care of them, no need to kill them you fucking psychopath.
