I feel like there is a problem with me. People often tell me I'm smart and good with problems and abstraction.
However, I feel really shitty when I'm faced with problems way out of my league. As a student at a university, I feel like it's taking a toll on me as I constantly feel like trash for being an idiot as I'm bugged by questions too difficult for me to find solutions to.
How do I stop myself from being caught in this cycle of self-hatred?

embrace the fact you are at your intellectual limit and embrace the opportunity to surpass it. Such opportunities dissipate with time so I suggest you relish these moments.

So you're generally pretty smart, but from time to time in university you come across something hard to learn/solve/conquer.
It's called education. School wouldn't be worth much if you could already do it all coming in. The WHOLE POINT of education is to identify your limits and then push (and guide) you past them

Is it wrong to be uncomfortable and almost resentful at this?

Not at all. If she the type of person to respond to a mature conversation, sit down with her and tell her how you feel. If not, move out and never call and only visit on holidays.
>>
>>17120710
It's not "wrong" but more so immature and ridiculous.
She's your mom, you're always her baby to some extent.
I'm sure she finds it wrong that at 19 years old you can't do your laundry or help out with chores and still browse the channel 4

>>17120710
It is totally natural to be bothered, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Some mothers are like that and will be when they're 90 and you're 70.
I feel stressed and upset.
I feel like people are trying to pressure me into getting a girlfriend. ive had a few people recently tell me that I should get a girlfriend, because the whole "you'll get married one day" or "when you get married..." This shit is starting to depress the fuck out of me. I've never had a girlfriend before, why? I don't know. But recently, it's been by choice. My close friends don't understand. They think I'm fucking crazy. One of my best friends actually sat down with me and said he wanted to hook me up with his 8.5/10 cousin, because "maybe you just need a fresh experience". I told him no, and he seemed taken a back. He kept saying that I NEED to have some new experiences with girls while I'm young, and how it's very important I have some romantic relationships. I explained to him I don't want any of that, and he actually seemed confused and pissed at the same time. All of my friends think I'm out of it.
I'm getting so fucking pissed off with this shit. It's fucking depressing. Apperently I'm fucking crazy/abnormal/weird or whatever the fuck because ive never had a girlfriend and don't want one. What the fuck!
It's not just my friends, it's everyone. Even co-workers told me the same shit.

Ill start with the truth obviously but Im wondering what things I should say or do to start making things right.
Alright, /adv/
I work at a gas station and I'm suppose to be promoted to assistant manager by the time I graduate from HS due to nepotism within the company I work for since my dad is fairly high up. I honestly fucking hate my job and wanna quit and pursue a buisness carrier. Should I quit?

Depends on what you've got the funds to do, man. It's not like you can't pick up a job at a gas station at any time, so I see no real loss. If you don't have the money to get by for a while, or money for schooling, it's another issue. If it's green, then go for it.

Advice what should I do. My ex girlfriend cheated on me 3 years ago and I went no contact. I'm coming home for the summer (in grad school) and she just texted me out of nowhere asking if I want to hangout
>She has turned into a huge slut the last 3 years
>I have no feelings for her, not even mad anymore
>But I'd still hit that
Should I go for it?

Unless you actually need to, it's gonna be difficult.
I once did around 40h awake because I had to finish a project. By the time I went to sleep, I was hearing things
>>
>>17120556
Drugs.
Outside of that you'd need to condition yourself by staying awake for long periods before you do it, even then it's really hard.
Not to mention that it's really bad for your health.

I'm having trouble getting serious with this amazingly cute girl. She's very cute and I'm fairly below average at best. She keeps wanting something serious but I'm always worried that her friends/family will think she can do a lot better. Her ex-boyfriends have all been significantly better looking than me and pretty attractive. Like I said, I'm fairly ugly and kinda fat.
I know I should get /fit/ and I will, but what about in the meantime? What do?

Don't be so down on yourself. Not everything is looks. Plus, kinda fat guys are attractive to a lot of ladies. We like when you're cuddly.
>>
>>17120555
shit anon just show her those trips
>>
I think that satisfying her is more important than pleasing her family. If she's already interested in you then you shouldn't wait just so you can satisfy her family. You can work on your goal of getting /fit/ while simultaneously kissing the cutie.

Anyone else share any of these feels? Are these feels rational? I've felt this way for about a year now. I know that saying fuck it and working on a farm certainly won't be enjoyable either, but I'm so dissatisfied with what the 21st century has had to offer. I have no idea who I even am anymore. I feel like I have taken the complete wrong turn in my life and have no idea what to do.

Sounds like you're having a quarter life crisis.
Well, I agree with a lot of what you're saying- technology isn't the problem. It's people being shitty. You can for the most part avoid advertisment with adblock- so, there's that.
Everything has it's pros and cons- advanced communication and technology isolates us while bringing us closer together. I can see friends and family that live on the other side of the world in real time, etc. I'd recommend reading the book Alone Together- takes a serious look at the issue.
>>
>>17120559
Thanks for the book recommendation. I also had no idea that a quarter-life crisis was even a thing, but it seems to sum up what I'm experiencing now.
The only problem is that it's too late to really change my direction. I'm $20,000 in debt, freshly graduated from school and without a job. I know there is no way I can go back to school to learn something else unless it's free or incredibly cheap.

Yes. How far gone do you have to be to think about not trying things out with her? I wish I had that apathy in regards to women.

What type of advice is this? Of course you should if you like her back.

How much do you write and how often? That's what matters, nothing else. If the answers aren't "pages on pages" and "often" you aren't going to be a famous writer.

I buy all the classics and do poetry all the time. Of Course I got this.

Are ethnic tattoos on girls unattractive?

Statistically speaking the average model of beauty in western countries do not sport extensive limb-covering tattoos. However I don't think they are strictly unattractive by themselves. Your personal health care achieved through exercise, diet, stress relief and good posture will contribute a greater impact.

>>17120516
>I want to get north african tattoos (I'm actually north african)
Generally, ethnic tattoos are not a good idea unless they reflect your actual ethnicity. Do the tattoos you're looking at reflect your specific heritage?

>>17120549
Yes
Sup /adv/. I need some help. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety problems for the last 4 years. It was bad enough that I had planned on killing myself the day before my 18th birthday. Then I met this girl about 4 months ago. She doesn't know it, but she's the only reason I'm still alive. School ends in 2 weeks, then she moves states for college. I'm starting to fall back into my depression, and I know it's going to get bad again soon. She's noticed that something is bothering me, and has tried to get me to say something. So here's my question. How do I tell someone about my depression?

if you feel that you can't tell friends or your parents then call 911 and tell them you're thinking about killing yourself
they'll send an ambulance to pick you up and take you to a hospital where you'll be spoken to by a psychiatrist and afterwards probably committed for a few weeks.
>>
>>17120493
But if I make that call, they will find out. I really do want this person to know what's happening, even though there really isn't anything she can do to help me. I feel like she deserves to know. The question still remains, how do I bring this up? I have never told anyone irl about how fucked up I am.
>>
who don't you want to know, your parents?
why can't you tell them, they need to know about this more than anyone, don't do something as stupid as teenage suicide

I'm maried to filipina. There's elections next week.
She goes to political celebration yesterday (I discovered today only) and I was all day long worried sick cause she didn't eat home. She return past midnight without giving satisfactions and went straight to bed.
Wake up today 6am find my property walls littered with loads of political advertisements.
Start cleaning walls, wash street, prune trees, feed animals, count newborn babies, harvest fruits, and come inside trying to enjoy a blissful sunday in peace and confort at home... typical weekend routine.
8am, kids sleeping, woman wakes up making scandal about me cleaning the walls, saying she had put them up when she came home during the middle of the night.
I'm not even of the same political party as she is. Besides, the guy she is promoting is a proud rapist murderer who gets his kicks out of burning bodies of people with his own hands and shit like that. The old folks that have memory say he is the spitting image of a dictator that ruled the philippines under martial law 50 years ago.
But the real important part is that she threatened to starve the children as punishment for me removing advertisements from the walls.
Threatning the kids??????????????????? She hit me on the weak spot there. I almost felt like grabbing her by the fuckin neck with both hands and twist it like you'd do with a chicken for butchering.
What can I do with this pinay? Remember there is no divorce in the philippines.
Instead of buying food/cloths/stuff for our home, she sends her money every month to her relatives. Instead of raising her family like a mother, she is raising the families of others.
It's hard to realize after decades that her real family is and always were the monkeys of the jungle (I tell you later why I call them that)... I was deluding myself believing otherwise.
From the image, all of the shit already happend to me countless times.

American here so I don't really know the situation on the ground, but do you really think Duterte would risk civil war by declaring martial law?
>>
>>17120511
You do realize that the 40 richest families in the Philippines control 76% of the GDP right? As an American saying this completely goes against my nature but democracy has failed your country, the government police and judiciary only exist to make the rich richer and provide complete impunity from their crimes.
How can a problem that runs so deep possibly be fixed without revolution?
>>
>>17120480
>Do you really think Duterte would risk civil war by declaring martial law?
The guy doesn't matter... I care about wife going to his celebrations and then coming home brainwashed as a soldier ready to chop heads... that's what I care about.
My home and my family come first to me... that's the whole reason why I had to look for a wife on the other side of the world... to find woman that were family oriented (or so I used to think).
>friend invited me to hang out downtown
>really excited, never dine anything like this before
>she later says she'll probably bring her boyfriend along
>still want to go, but now nervous this will be a really awkward third wheel kind of thing
>have no other friends, so can't balance it out by inviting another person
