So I'm going thru a lot of shit right now, but besides that I live a nice life.
The thing is that I feel sad most of the time, like no matter what happens, at the end of the day I feel sad and guilty, with no reason.
Should I seek mental help?

I've been quite isolated for some time now, but the other day I met with an old friend. I felt as if I didn't have enough to say and/or talk about. He would go on these long tangents about a topic, and I wouldn't be quite sure how to give any response that wasn't vapid. It's not that I'm a dumb person, I just couldn't think of anything to say, or any good responses.
I thought about it, and I have a hard time finding a happy medium between being too vapid, and getting too complex/in depth in conversations. I have a hard time relating to other people naturally, due to various extenuating circumstances.
Also, I've been quite stagnant the past year or so, so I feel like I don't have anything to bring to the table conversationwise.
What do people converse about, when they're just hanging out together? Not just normies, but interesting cool people. How can I become more interesting and entertaining? I really don't want to be boring. I want to be fun and exciting to be around.
I know I sound like a loser, but I want to change and better myself. Please help.

Starting college and I have sixteen Credit hours. I didn't initially intend for this but my school has a mandatory introduction class.

I'm not sure if I can handle this much. Again it sound like a lot but I'm also thinking that a class about college couldn't be that hard... Right?

Any advice will be great.

Boy is shit fucked for me this week.
>Lost job on Thursday.
>Haven't told family cuz I know they'll just yell at me even though it wasn't my fault at all.
>GF doesn't want to talk to me at all until the 21st (Her dad's birthday is on the 20th so she's in a bad place right now. He's dead. Awful communication.)
>Best friend, pretty much the only other person I talk to, is on vacation until Thursday so he can't talk.
>Sonic game I was waiting for was delayed by 2 weeks so I don't even have that to be excited about while I'm alone
>Driving test on the 16th, 2nd time taking it. Failed last time and less confident in my ability now than before and can guarantee all this other stress isn't gonna help.

I spent all day today sleeping. All I ate was a little noodle dish and I feel like absolute shit. Everything seems to have gone wrong all at once. I don't even know if I expect any sort of advice I just need to vent to someone or something. I feel miserable.

>old professor asked if I'd like to do my master's degree under him
>focus would be computer vision (pattern, character, feature, etc recognition is his field of study)
>school offers me $28,000 to do a 2-year master's degree, government offered me $22,000/yr in grants to do a master's degree
>$36,000/yr income to stay in school
>was offered a 9-5 job as programmer for $42,000 a year

What do I do, /adv/? Do I take the job, make marginally more, and have a more secure future, or go back to school, make bank for almost nothing, and have better job prospects later?

Should you learn from PUA's ?

Should you smile, say "hi" and ask her how her day was ?

If you manage to have a good conversation (during your 1st encounter) would it be a good idea to ask her for her number and then call her for a date ?


For example:
>Talking to you today was fun, let's grab a coffee this Friday .

>There's this cool new movie airing this Saturday, lets watch it and grab a snack afterwards.

>Do you want to get a coffee, go to the movies or the beach, this weekend ?

My gf is getting jealous I am often meeting with ex-gf.

In reality it is nothing sexual. Secretly I am only meeting her to smoke up without my gf knowing.

Should I just quit for good?

Holy shit is this regular on tinder? What could have possibly offended her there? Are women usually this autistic? I've talked with other women and they have no issue talking like a regular human. What's her deal? I'm tempted to btfo her, should I just unmatch and keep it moving? I at least wanna say something like "Are you usually this boring or only some of the time?"

I tried researching this, but it's a matter that apparently it's so uncommon that I can't either get a clear answer or it's just me being a fucking idiot. So now I come here to ask for aid.

You see, I like to play games. Any kind of game, mind you, as long as it's not something like what we used to play as kids during recess. Mostly videogames and tabletops. It's most of what has kept me well while trying to come with my mild case of Aspergers.

But the issue here is; I play MMOs. I would like to play better for the people inside those game worlds that are friendly to me. Not even PvP based; I usually just stick to my player vs environment content. And whenever trying to improve, through practice, research, equipment, chatting with the rest of the playerbase about the system, I just seem to hit a ceiling, a point, in which I cannot improve further, no matter what I do. This point is usually around the below average, even if I do my best.

Now then, I've been fed everytime the talk about being positive about it, practice more, do positive selftalk, believe in yourself, and all that kind of happy rainbow talk. I'm not saying is wrong, but maybe all that is being said by a normal person without any mental issues or physical impairments. Therefore, when others improve when they practice and I do not, while spending the same time and dedication, if not more on my part, the only tangible difference to be taken in count is that I have assburguers, and they are completely fine.

Which leads me to think, is my condition limiting me in such a way that I cannot overcome it no matter how much I practice? Does positive selftalk really work when you've been proven countless times it doesn't help your odds at all? Normally this is similar to a "I can't improve, help me" case, which is usually answered by saying something among the lines of "record yourself" or "practice more", but I don't know how true do those claims stand when mental disabilities are at play.

Is it normal for conversation via any medium to feel completely worthless most of the time? Most exchanges I have with others may as well not have happened for how little meaningful content is generated and taken in by one party or the other.

Is this attributable to external factors like the groups I associate with, cultural influences I am exposed to knowingly or not (I'm thinking internet """"culture""""), or am I just a boring miserable asshole?
