So, a while back I made a post talking about this so I'll just sum it up this time to provide context:
>hot girl in university bus
>kind of shy, for some weird reason
>began to ogle me frequently - ogled her back but did not make a move
>she sat next to me constantly, even though most of the times there were other places to sit in the bus
>few times I spoke to her she fumbled her words pretty hard and seemed really anxious
>when sitting next to me she always looked nervous - dropped things, scraped my leg even without the bus swaying, touched her clothing and hair - things she doesn't do around other people when she does sit next to them
>found out she has a boyfriend
>ignored her completely from then on
>she made a mean remark about my job choice in one of our few conversations after ignoring her
>ignored her even harder
A few days ago:
>bus driver is a cool guy
>every now and then he buys some food/soda/candy and shares with everyone in the bus
>this girl picks up the day's treat: a bag of chocolate
>asks if anyone in the bus wants any - no one replies
>I'm next to her. Taps me with the bag and asks if I want some - to which I reply "No."
>mocks me for saying no
>sits next to me the next day and snorts all the way to university like an angry cow
Yeah, I know, what a gay sequence of events huh? I feel like a teenager all over again.
So, from your perspectives, what do you say about this?

She sounds like a cunt or just some awkward ass person that can't express her feeling appropriately as a good damn adult. If she's already got a boy friend there's really no point in talking to her unless you want the slim chance of being a rebound guy.
>Being an adult
>Insulting a stranger about his job choice.

Needs some help with academics.
Im starting my senior year at a state university, interests in mathematics and psychology. Unfortunately I am moving, and am only able to finish my degree online.
The problem is, I would have to get a BS in psych to finish online. Not mathematics like I wanted.
Should I finish the psych degree (1 year)? Or transfer to a school like SNHU to complete a mathematics degree (2 years)?

What job are you looking for?
Mathematics majors have better jobs than psychology majors.
You can work in banks, statistics, etc.
You can't do shit with a psych degree.
And, if you want to be a teacher, there's more demand for math teachers than psych.
>>
An extra year aint shit to get something you want to have for the rest of your life. It'll be extra time and money but worth it to do math like you want to.

During the first half of my elementary schooling, I had acted as a violent individual, receiving multiple citations. Fortunately, I was then able to escape the ghetto-like environment that I was once involved in. I took to the books and acted highly introverted.
I am now 18, and my living conditions have consisted of recluse. I must underscore that I am of no social merit, in that I am unable to communicate with others, especially females. I have yet to arrive at a party or share in the wild experiences others have at such an age.
Rather than attempting to transcend these unfortunate conditions, I have accepted them. It is just that I find it difficult to live a life devoid of female presence when I am well aware that others are living on the other side of the social spectrum. I am constantly bombarded with shaming for my social ineptitude and lack of virility, not publicly, but through the internet, as in through youtube comments for example that criticize others as being "virgins." Such epithets make me highly uncomfortable. How am I to overcome such and continue my life in pursuit of intelligence if my being married is only viable at the age of 26 or so? Do keep in mind that I come from a patriarchal culture, in that an Arranged Marriage is the only hope I have.

Have you ever been to see a therapist or a psychologist. You might have some kind of antisocial personality disorder. I've been in therapy my entire life but they couldn't figure out anything that could help me. Once I was diagnosed I felt like there was at least something I could work towards to be better with people. They will help just tell them.

Why should I even try at life, /adv/?
>24yo
>khv
>introverted af
>misanthrope, prefer to keep to myself
Why should I aspire to anything if I can just get a comfortable job and a tiny apartment and spend my days getting high and being a recluse? I mean, I'd like to have sex but dealing with women fucking depresses the shit out of me. Why not just suppress everything with my dealer's bomb ass weed? It's much easier.
Why even try to be successful?

There is no point for anything but If you really want to get laid you'll try. Other than that smoke away
>>
>>18615570
Because if you're not pushing your limits in life you just kind of rot away after a while. At some point in time, doing nothing but sitting around smoking weed will have gotten old and you'll feel the gut twisting regret of having wasted years of your life.
>>
>>18615580
I mean I'd try, but I've already been rejected hundreds of times and I kinda have to come to terms with the fact that I'm either hideous or too lame to get laid. I've always been under the impression that I life is worth pursuing but I'm kinda hoping I can just toke instead.

I am trying to make my own version of this but don't know where to get it made. I know I could pay people on Fiverr with 3-D printers to make the plastic case around the lighter, but I don't know how I could get the metal Swiss Army knife part made. I don't think a 3-D printer could not make the blades of the scissors or small intricate parts could they?

I haven't been diagnosed with OCD but I think I am partaking in OCD-like activities and habits. The major one is my insistence on "rebooting" where if something goes wrong or if I feel like I'm not leading my life properly, I'll reset my PC, clean my room, drop almost everything that I'm doing to start anew. How do I overcome this urge to "reboot?"
I'm starting college soon and I feel like this will really hurt me in the long run.

I found caffeine literally gave me OCD. It's probably something to do with dopamine.
The only way to bet OCD is to stop acting out on the rituals.
>>
>>18615534
Just stop doing it. It requires a tremendous amount of willpower, but it can be done. Whenever you feel the urge, remind yourself that it isn't a logical impulse, that it's just your mental illness forcing you to do these things, and fight it. You will fail a lot in the beginning, but that's okay. Recovery is never instant. If you practice this approach enough, though, you will get stronger in time and you will be able to reject your impulses.
>>
>>18615534
If you only have compulsions every one in awhile, you probably don't have OCD. Are you doing this daily?
>>18615561
>I found caffeine literally gave me OCD
Huh, I've never heard caffeine causing OCD. Were you actually diagnosed?

For some reason, my summer has been strange. Living where I do, you would expect lots of hot sunny days. But this summer, it was anything but. The majority of my life I have been a very lonely person but now it has really taken a toll on me. I feel really depressed. I've been thinking about death and suicide. I do have a friend who every time I spend time with him, I always feel like all those feelings are gone and instead I'm happy. Is there anything I should do?

I've been in the same boat, you focus on your hobbies/interests to distract yourself from your negative thinking so that when things change in your live you're emotionally available for it
>>
This, except I don't feel like I have any friends that I'm very close to

I'm in the same place. I'm not sure I could call the ones who I sometimes talk to friends since they have disrespected me.

This is embarrassing. So there's this online community of artists/writers on Twitter, and they have an ongoing contest. Mostly comprises conservative moms and teachers. A troll by nature, I decided to send one of the judges an anonymous post whining about when they'll pick the winners. I sent the post through an article on Huffpost that had "repent" in the title, which I thought was catchy and could convey my "regret" of entering the contest only to wait forever for the results, as well as jokingly infer to the judge, "Pick mine or else, you won't regret it!"
Fuck, I didn't read the whole article, but turns out it talked about all the tragedies the U.S. had committed, including the WWII bombings. Everyone on Twitter exploded about how I was threatening the judges, and have said FBI investigation can occur. I already sent an apology about the misunderstanding, but they want my full name. Can this get sent to the authorities? I'm more worried I'll get blacklisted from the community.

This is why you don't use your actual email addresses or real name ANYWHERE online unless it's for your job or school, assuming you haven't done this already.
Not even social media.
It's the fucking internet dude what the fuck are they going to do? You shouldn't even have apologized because now they have you in their demands. Just fuck off and create a new account. Simple.

How do I break with the cycle of wanting a gf because I lack love and companionship in life but this craving is also what makes me unable to get one?
I always hear "get your shit together before trying to get a gf" but honestly besides not having a gf my life is pretty fine and sorted out.
It seems like if you want a gf you can't get one and if you don't want one then you can.

Can you elaborate on what you mean ? because if you think you're fine, and you have your shit together, just try some dating app to accelarate the process of finding a girl
Aside from if you're ugly or fat it shouldn't be too tough.
>>
>>18615486
know the feel. i'm also trying to figure the whole thing out. everyone tells me "you have to work on yourself before you want to date someone else" i don't understand this. it's pretty plain to see that alot of people that are in relationships are just as fucked up as i am. It also seems that using technology to find new people to talk to doesn't work unless you already have connections irl or you're super attractive. if your not one of those the girls on dating sites will pay you no attention. The ones that will find you will be scammers, it's really terrible. its happened to me twice now within the last year and a half

Okay this is really fucked when you hear it all at once but I need some sound advice from some reasonable level headed people and I cant go anywhere else just yet. It's also kind of long but please stick around for a second here. I have lived a very fucked up life but most of it has little to do with this (I think) but I can answer any questions to help with understanding.
When I was around 8 years old my grandfather (Who babysitter me and my 2 siblings while father was at work) started molesting me regularly. He never raped me. It really fucked me up but I never stopped it because I was very confused about if it was right and I was very scared about what would happen if I told. I was under the impression that it was only happening to me because he once told me that I was the only one that this was happening to and I was a very gullible child. This went on for a while and I eventually got him to stop it but it hurt me because every time I tried, he would tell me things I didn't think he would tell anyone like how he felt that his life was meaningless to everyone and he felt there was not much left in life for him to continue. He cried sometimes when he told me this and as a child it really fucked me up inside to see someone as old as my grandfather crying and questioning why there is reason to live.
I got him to stop so l was happy amd eventually all the weirdness went away and things were as they should be. As a grandfather he was always very supportive and helped me out on several occasions when I was homeless and out of money. He seems like one of the greatest people on earth to most people.

I'm 27 now and finally have a stable life with a solid future. I was recently contacted by my sister who is a year older who admitted to me that she was molested by him, and that she had talked to my younger brother who reluctantly told her the same. I knew this was true as soon as she mentioned it. I did not admit the same happened to me but I encouraged her to do tell people if she thought it was the right thing to do. I think that she is not going to tell my grandmother out of embarrassment and the fact they have not talked in years may make it look like she's trying to stir some shit or get them for money or something (sister lived a much worse life with much worse mental illnesses and drugs). I would just leave sleeping dogs lie but I decided I must tell my uncle and his wife (only people I actually consider family other than grandparents) because they started having my grandparents watch their 2 year old son and I can't stand looking at him and seeing how ignorant and innocent he is and then think about what if the same happened to him. I'm worried about what my grandfather and grandmother will do if I tell my uncle but I just have to. How do I do this if I have never felt so much embarrassment or shame? I am thinking about writing it all in an email and telling them to read it because that to me, seems like the best way I will be able to get myself to do it. Also, do I tell them everything? Do I just leave what happened vague and tell them to keep my cousin away from him? I mostly dread the questions I will have to answer later on. Help me out people, I'm weak and scared shitless but I love my little cousin.
>>
I think one of the main reasons I am so afraid is because there is no winning here. It will be humiliating and I worry my grandfather will kill himself out of shame, but if I don't, my cousin may be subjected to the same when he is older.
>>
>>18615508
Save your cousins, don't let them go through what you and your siblings went through. What your grandfather did was wrong, not matter how supportive he was and whatever he is crying about to get pity. He is wrong, it messed you guys up, don't let it continue.

Trying to process what went down today at Walmart.

>cashiers was intrigued by the film and started a small with the customer
>the men said he was doing this for years

>cashier appears to lose interested in conversation
>start commenting the man back with "yea yea yea"
>man ignores and continues to talk.
>cashier goes off, "YEA YEA YEA!"
>dead silent for a moment
>men told him off that he'll take his business elsewhere
>walk offs with the film in hand and a pissed off look

I feel like both because the customer wouldn't stfu but the cashier response was just unnecessary.

You're right about both but even the customer should've known when to shut the fuck up
>>
>>18615476
I take the film still needed to be developed? My first thought was that the film revealed something unsavory, which made the clerk deny the customer in a somewhat inappropriate way. It would explain the lack of professionalism.
But it would he a little weird for a guy to turn in his film, developed, causing him to only want prints. It would also be odd this day and age for the clerk to start sifting through the film at the counter.
So I'd say the clerk is at a wrong. If you start a polite conversation and you're done with it, especially in a customer service environment, you should act friendly and politely. Even when the customer babbles on forever. The only way to go is a response like "sir, I need to get back to work or I'll get reprimanded. But I do want to wish you a good day."
