Hey /adv/,
I'm 21 and I quit smoking (after 6 years) and heavy drinking about a month ago. I've been hitting the gym for over a year now, and just a few days ago I started a diet. I've already made plans for my future and as a matter of fact, even though I'm not done with uni yet, I started a paid formation at the company I'd like to work in later.
I spend all my money in travels, always have. To be honest it's the only thing that keeps my boat floating. I'm always looking for ways to improve myself because I truly believe I haven't deserved to be happy or to have good things come my way yet.
I lived for a few years with my alcoholic abusive father and I've always told my friends it was beneficial in a way because it made me a tougher person.
I don't like to bitch because everyone has a rough patch every now and then but I guess my question is, does it get better? How do I get rid of the burden on my shoulders? It's getting heavier and I'm starting to doubt it is necessary.
Thanks.

Does it get better?
Well growing up you where extremely suceptible to your environment because children are
As an adult that doesn't affect you but wathever shit you have been through is now part of your personality and your personality is not something you change is something you learn to deal with
So does it get better? It does not but maybe you can learn to deal with all that bullshit in a healthy way
Or you can get into drinking or drugs but that won't fix anything
A kid who was not fed Enough will grow 3 inches less by the time he is an adult that he would have otherwise, at that point would eating fix anything? Could he eat twice as much and fix it?
I think you are trying to make up for everything you lacked and should have gotten and it doesn't work
>>
>>18613458
I already tried alcohol, I was moderately happy for at first but after a while it made me bitter and angry.
So what are you saying? All the changes and improvements I'm trying to make are pointless because I had a shit childhood? How do I fix this then? I tried to seek professional help but it never worked since I was too skeptical and I'm only used to dealing with my issues alone.

I'm 18 and about to go to college, but I just don't feel ready. I haven't had a job before this point and I don't even have my license or a car. This is a local state college btw, about 8 miles away.
I'm about to get my license but college feels like a huge responsibility to take at this point. I have 8 AP classes all with 3 or above scores on their tests, so I'm definitely ready for first year college classes, but I feel like I should be treating it like something to be excited for. I just don't care and going now feels like a huge annoyance, another four years of high school if anything. I want to say I lack the maturity, confidence or leadership you would get from a job, also social skills, I'm really bad at conversation and stutter a lot, and my voice is super quiet.
My parents said it's fine to not go and take a gap year instead, and I would be working a job during this year for the most part. I feel like this is a good idea because I get work/social experience (grocery store or similar), my first car, and maybe a rejuvenated interest in college. I feel like college should be an investment that I have to feel excited about but I really don't care, and I'd think working a job and getting a feel for the real world would help me realize its importance.
The only thing stopping me now is that I know nothing about the cons of a gap year. Will colleges hate that I took a gap year to work? Some part of me feels like I HAVE to go right after high school, and taking a gap year would limit my selection massively or something, or I'd look like a loser compared to other applicants.
And sorry if I sound entitled or something by saying I don't care, I DO realize the importance of college but these are my true feelings. Maybe I'm depressed.
My major is CS, btw.
So should I just suck it up and go, or work for a year? First day is August 21st.

Worst thing you can possibly do. I accidentally had a gap year that almost turned into more. Very easy to slip into a grind.
>>
Yeah, it will make 0 difference if you graduate at 22 or 23
Literally no difference so go do your thing and enjoy
>>
It's not going to hurt you if you take a year. If anything, you'll be better off, especially financially.

Purchase a guitar with smaller frets and practice extra hard.

>>18613397
I'm currently practicing with an Ibanez Gio Grg 270 Dx, aren't those frets small enough? Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong?

Perhaps not. I do know that a lot of smaller handed players prefer fanned frets. Maybe you need to get some finger lessons and make sure you're practicing the right way.

Ask for her number. And then ask her on date. Park, dinner, ice cream. Buy condoms and dont forget to hold hands and smile.

>>18613368
ok i really just wanna bang her lol plus idk how to go about it she's 19 im 22 i dont wanna be awkward
>>
>>18613378
Treat her as a boy. SMILE and talk about whatever

Dont put her on pedestal, act like you dont care if she wants you or not and ASK HER ON DATE! Put it as you will be doing X and let her tag along if she feels like it. SMILE!
And if you dont buy condoms, you will be teen and pregnant.

I mean, if you go through with smashing his head, make sure you clean up the mess THOROUGHLY and hide the body in a river or somewhere where NOBODY will EVER find it.

I'm not really sure how to best word this, so bear with me guys and girls.
So basically there's a specific "archtype" of girl that I like. You know, the reserved, introverted, quiet girl with a good dose of sarcasm, with an abundance of knowledge and experience in the world of "the arts" (film, literature, painting, etc.) and a love of philosophical, theoretical, and political discussion. Basically the polar opposite of the "manic pixie dream girl" type (the type of girl I've dated up til now).
The problem is that it's almost impossible for me to find these types of women, because they're introverted and don't go out much. If I were in school, it'd be easy, since at school, everyone's basically forced to interact. So I tried online dating, but out of the now 300 accounts that I've read, only two of them really fit the bill of what I was looking for. So I'm kind of at a loss for what to do next.
I guess my question is "where should I look for these types of girls?" Like I said, I'm not in school, and I don't really have a "social" job (like dawg I work at fucking GameStop), and I myself don't really get out much, so I don't even know where to start looking.
Sorry that was so long. Pic related: you all to me.

Most girls online are like that, or at least the few ones here. But you have to take into consideration that in dating sites, a lot of people exaggerate or lie a bit (when not a fucking lot) on their profiles, and as far as society goes, they might feel like they don't fit the right profile, so you might've seen more than you thought

literally can't, my friend has epilepsy, he drank 1 beer and almost died on a street, was cycling and started having a seizure. after that he started taking the being sober while on meds serious, whenever we're out drinking he's chilling with ice tea.

Fuck, man. Let me tell you. I'm scared to shit of suddenly developing epilepsy out of nowhere and getting seizures. Never had one before. Every time some asshole posts a strobe gif on 4chan I freak the fuck out.
Has nothing to do with the thread but just wanted to get that off my chest.

I'm a college student trying to figure out what I want in life. I have always known I wanted to do something related to the medical field, and I also want to work with computers and I have a fascination with computer programming. I'm thinking about doing computer engineering and working in the health science field with that. I see some things about it, and looking up comp eng jobs brings up a lot of health care related stuff. Is this kind of career in high demand, or would it end up being a waste? Is it better to do mech engineering and proceed to do biomedical engineering? What kind of work would I be doing as a computer engineer in the health science field?

Sorry for the gayass title. It's just I've been in love with a close friend for a while and I can't stop thinking of what could of been. I've heard he hasn't been as happy in his relationship as before. I don't get in involve. But he would always tell me what goes on and other personal shit. He's even told me he finds me attractive but doesn't feel the same way romantically like before when we first met. I wanna try atleast ONCE to see if I can try to get a guy to like me. Any tips?

OP here
I wanted to add that I had a recent break up cause I was unhappy with the person I was with. It was because I realized I still loved my friend and I had to come clean to my ex about it.

>>18613275
This.
Confess and be honest. Tell him what you told us.
It's hard, and it's make or break, but you'll be happy you either received closure and can really move on, or you ended up with him.
Either way, you have nothing to lose.

Ignore your problems.
Dont ask yourself what you want to do with your life.
Dont pursue anything, dont think and dont try to improve yourself.
Dont do sport.
Start smoking, drinking and eating a lot.
Dont smile.
Dont seek friends or social events, isolate yourself and consider doing pic related.

Why are you a Christian? Is it because you are afraid of death and refuse to believe that when you die there is nothing more?
Death anxiety among elderly in old people's homes is just as high for non believers than it is for people of faith. Why would they be afraid if they know there's more after death?
