Are you planning on getting a job that involves math? If so, it's common for professionals to review things they already know. Look through old textbooks and shit to find out what you're rusty on and relearn it.

>>17105382
Your memory is not perfect. Learn to accept that.

You can either relearn the material you've forgotten when you need it, or you can occasionally review what you've learned to refresh it in your mind.

Either way works. I go through some of my old math texts occasionally to review and rework problems so slow down the rate at which I forget things, but I also have an actual interest. Over the last ten years or so I was also doing a lot of math tutoring in basic math, which helps.

>>17105411
No not really. I plan on working with networks and network security.

>>17105413
It's hard for me to accept that things are not perfect, but I can at least try. I guess I should take active measures and review some old stuff if it bothers me this much. Deep down I actually like math, but don't consider myself smart enough to be good at it. I'm studying linear algebra at the moment and I'm actually really enjoying.

How often do you go over old stuff?

Break up with him and let him find a gf who likes listening to him.

I love it when females get a taste of their own medicine.

unfortunately you are asking how to change his base personality. its something he does naturally. its not a small detail, its how he interacts. while changes can be made, asking him to change it could be bad.

im the same. i ramble. so i date chicks who are quiet and like to listen to my nonsense. nto all do. some girls will immediately walk away. others im surprised will sit there and listen to me talk about flat earth theory and shit

Drugging them, then raping them back. No other way unless you get authority involved.

>>17105265
Simply try and get them to hit you, then you can legally kill/wound/rape them in self defense.

If she won't go to the cops, you have to assume she's full of shit and move on with your life, brah.

There's no other way to handle things unless you are lucky enough to catch him in the act and shoot him.

hey op.
how long ago did this happen?

>>17105329
It happened 4 years ago

>>17105333
lol sorry kinda skimmed your post.
my bf came back from afghanistan with ptsd and it was very rough for a long time. same symptoms your describing. hes gotten better with time, but some days its like theyre not really all there. hes currently not on medication for it. sounds like he needs to work through his ptsd and acknowlege it. if he continues to surpress everything its gonna get worse. as far as what you can do just be there for him. dont press him it takes a lot of fucking patience to be there when someone is acting like that but understand that they are mentally hurting and just do your best to be there for you

Coming from a person with depression who is in a relationship with someone with depression. It's better to have one person with problems and one person without. Because in my situation. I've gotten better but she hasn't and now I don't have feelings for her as much as I did because I've gotten better. So now I gotta spill the beans.....

>>17105242

if you are truly depressed its better to have no partner at all in my opinion. you are by your own admission unable to take care of yourself, and inflicting that pain on a partner is bad for them and gives you a false sense of reality. once they leave you you will take it too hard.

if you are not mentally healthy you should not start dating.

>>17105242
>>17105312

for instance, half the threads on this site are just
>I DONT KNOW HOW TO BREAK UP WITH MY PARTNER CUZS THEY ARE DEPRESSED AND IM WORRIED THEY WILL KILL THEMSELVES

and shit like that. if you are naturally a burden, dont date. if you can prove you are strong on your own then you can date.

That's not really advice OP, I recommend going to
/g/

Nuclear power you piece of shit. Did I do your highschool homework for you?

>>17105166
Cell phones, aircraft, helicopters, turbine engine.

>How the fuck do I quit?
By quitting.

Throw out what you've got at the house and don't buy anymore.
You'll want to go buy more. Sit back and think real hard, this probably won't come to you right away, but you have to think think think: WHY do you want to drink?

Address that.
In the mean time stock up on things like juice, tea, coffee, make smoothies, even soda yes it's horrible for you but if you're keeping that oral fixation busy with something other than alcohol it can be forgiven. Spend more time with your friends who don't drink and tell your friends who usually drink when you hang out that you aren't drinking anymore.

>>17105148
I don't know OP, but you should. It took getting a DUI for me to stop. Been sober since then and it is crazy how much better things are. I have been losing weight, have tons more energy, and I am generally just more productive a person.

>>17105170
That's the problem, the few friends i do have are regular drinkers and the times i do hang out with them alcohol is involved. I'm the idiot that binges right away, then acts like a retard the entire night until i'm too pissed to drive home and usually pass out on the couch. Soda is a good fucking idea though, it's addictive as all hell, and it's much healthier i imagine then drinking 8-10 cans of beer every night.

My job is just so brainless and allows me to show up hungover, and i don't have anyone close to me (relationship-wise) to tell me no.

I know there's not a shit load of activity this time of day, but I really hope to get any ideas on what to do...

>>17105135
food poisoning, maybe? or you could fuck up your face and body and say you got ran over? will you get a chance to re do it? just throwing an idea out there. i had an exam today, i know your pain.

>>17105179
I'm leaning on food poisoning, won't they ask me to go shit into something to test me though? Yeah I'm in full fucking panic mode

Stop being played like a fiddle.

Girls want boyfriends, ones they're attracted to. They will not play little games like the one you're describing if they genuinely are attracted to you.

Do you think she doesn't know why you unfollowed her? She knows and reals you back in when she gets that reaction out of you, girls love this kind of attention from men because they enjoy knowing men want them.

Stop this shit man, i wouldn't ignore all her messages, keep her around as a "friend" but find another girl to be interested in.

>>17105120

Fuck, I wish I wouldn't fall so easy. I'm telling this to myself the whole time, but I'm just going on...

I cant just keep her as a friend, it is either a be with her or part ways kind of thing for me

>>>17105120
Most guys were like that at one point in their life, don't feel so bad about it. Looks like your gut feeling already knows whats up, don't doubt your gut instincts, i recommend just parting ways if you're unable to throw away your feelings for her. also 100% after you attractive girl thats genuinely attracted to you you'll forget about this one who plays game with you.

>>17105030
Bump

How long have you two been close, OP?

>>17105030
Smalltalk is fucking retarded anyway.
Do you have her phone number?
If you wanna be a cuck just text her "heys lets do something together" (be much more direct than that )
If you somehow have balls if she mentions something she likes be like "oh yeah thats cool I want to do that too how about we go do it together" obviously it will be a little harder to pull off if its in a group but you get it.

I'm in somewhat similar situation, expect I don't really know the girl as a friend (which is why I don't have her # to begin with). Shit fell through when I was gonna ask her to prom (she didn't reject me, I ended up never asking cause I found out two days before I was gonna do it she had one already) but she is legitimately one of the four only tolerable females at my school. We're parting ways since were senior but honestly idgaf and still gonna try anyway. I don't really have a plan but my failsafe is on the last week (after prom) I'll just go up to her and be like "hey anonette I know we don't know each other well but we're probably never gonna see each other I think you're really cool and was wondering if I could have your # to hangout this summer,". We'll see.

She's cheating run while you still can

>>17105028
Nah i know its not that cos we spend too much time together

>>17105047
She's not cheating on you sexually but she's definitely infatuated with someone else.

>>17105005
If you're talking about writing, only 10% of what you do should be actual writing. The other 90% should be prewriting, planning the plot, dissecting the characters, making sure everything is perfect. Then, once you've got the bones built up, write the actual story.

If you're just talking about telling stories to your coworkers or something shit I dunno

>>17105005
I have the same problem. I feel like, growing up, nobody ever listened to me or thought anything I had to say was important, so they'd tend to talk over me and interrupt me. I kind of learned to talk really fast because I want to get everything in before somebody interrupts me, but that makes me a shitty speaker.

Also, most good storytellers know how to use suspense. Instead of leading with the surprise, punchline, reveal, whatever the most interesting part of the story is, they start with the lead-up to it and make you want to hear what's next.

I wish I could do that, but I always feel compelled to start with the most interesting thing to limit the chance that people will lose interest or assume they know what I'm gonna say and just talk over or ignore me. I still have problems with people treating me this way. It's made me a shitty speaker.

Guess it's a confidence thing. Fuck confidnece tho

>>17105005
You get better at storytelling by telling more stories, and by having stories to tell.

>>17104999
If you have interests go to a trade school.

You should get a random job around town and work that for a while. Save up money for college/later in life. After you figure out what you want to do, then go to college. Just jumping in without a direction is just asking for trouble, debt, bad grades, paperwork, stress, and a general bad time.

>>17105011
I second this

Small bamp

Start sketching or write a story about your day dreams. Turn it into something creative in real life

Look up maladaptive daydreaming.

This world is boring for you that's why you dream of such things. It's probably why you are miserable. So long as you don't start believing in your daydreams (delusions) or hallucinating, it's nothing much to worry about

Bump because I'm autistic

>>17104979
Honestly bro it depends on the girl, some like this mushy stuff. If she responds the way you expressed then it means she's taking them for granted, so you shouldn't send them or say that kind of stuff.

It's not normal for a girlfriend to reply with "lol ok" thats what girls do to guys they arent interested in, you need to "break her ass and shake her ass" (dominate her), let her know who she's talking to all the time. Stop that mushy stuff.

What it means is she doesn't find it attractive/appreciate your affection in that way.

Okay there is infatuation and love right?
This is the first one

Kids fall in "love" and become stupid but they also get those crushes on people all the time
Funno how it goes but it looks like it
