So, I'm gonna attempt to keep this as short and simple as possible (highly unlikely, sorry). I'm 18 y/o, fresh out of high school living wit my parents. I quit smoking cigarettes on February 1st and things were looking simple and easy after the 4 - 5 week mark. I planned on working on my physical fitness and health after I got the addiction under control, but, my parents really wanted me to go straight to work, whether I kicked the habit or not. So, one week ago I managed to snag a job that pays out 12.50$ an hour and the work is relatively simple and casual, pretty dank and lucky, I know, but I am still super stressed and it is my first time working (I've worked for cash before tho). I kind of have to kick my physical health to the side for a bit as well. With all of these changes (and a slew of other factors) happening so fast in my life my anxiety is through the roof and I am feeling extremely low. This has caused my mind to quickly hover over the idea of picking up my addiction again, which is honestly scaring me a bit. No more than 25 minutes ago I stole a cigarette, went outside, lit it up and had a few puffs. The sensation of putting the smoke up to my lips and inhaling felt a lot different than I remember, and the taste was different to say the least. I just stood there, stared at the cigarette for a seconds and hesitantly, yet successfully, threw it towards the ground and walked away. The whole time before the smoke my brain felt like it was floating inside my skull, it was a weird feeling, I can't quite describe. After this whole ordeal I'm not quite sure what is going to happen, I have no idea if this is just a slip up, or if it increases the chances of picking the habit up again etc.. I don't know if I should quite my job, or get some mental health evaluations, or pick up smoking, or just kms. I have no idea how to approach this situation and I am afraid of getting any help or even talking about it irl. I'm just worried that I'll snap and lose everything

tl;dr
My mental health isn't so great and I am afraid of relapsing/making idiotic decisions.
Wat do?

Whatever you do just don't go backwards, should definitely stop smoking if you really care about your health physical and mental.

I'm signed up to OkCupid, POF, and I have a Tinder.
I get plenty of enjoyment swiping through all of the people, but I never end up messaging, so it's kind of a waste. I just never feel like putting in the effort, but I don't know why. I tried deleting all of them, but a few days later, I was back at it. What I don't want to do is look like some weirdo that just lurks on these sites and does nothing. Just... starting some kind of conversation and trying to get a girl's attention seems like such a pain in the ass.
How do I get the motivation to start messaging, or just delete them and keep them deleted?

This is really just a vent but I don't really talk to anyone irl. I recently moved back home after a bad breakup and meth abuse. She was my first girlfriend, well it wasn't a good idea in the first place though because I'm gay. I just did it because I was trying to be normal. I work a construction job 40 HR a week now and it's not too bad, but I'm unnecessarily venting on my new coworkers.
So now I'm back at home, and I'm realizing that I totally hate my parents. I'm being as out of the way as possible - I do all the chores I used to do, I clean my dishes as soon as I'm done, I even cook with my mom like I did tonight. But I have hid everything about myself, since I was very young, from them. They are very religious ( you wouldn't believe ) and don't even know I'm gay.
Basically they have no idea who I am, and I want to just leave, but they want me to stay for the summer. I know it's the right thing to do. My life was always "I just gotta get out and then I can handle them", and it still is. I really fucked up by forgetting that and coming back. I just got to make it througj the summer without exploding and it will be best for all of us. Sigh..
It just is really sad time right now. I cry a lot but alone, I have no one who understands me. I am so quiet that I make everyone uncomfortable. I would never try to kill myself and I never have, but I don't value my life. Often I think I would like to just take my little savings and drive away somewhere, throw away my phone. I'm not afraid of anything, because I have nothing to lose..
I know it sounds dramatic.. It's just how I feel.. Maybe writing it out helped

Am I so bad that I don't get one response? I guess it goes to show how far I will go.. My words cannot reach my family. And they cannot even reach the anonymous.
Maybe this is Godtelling me to come out. I never thought I would need to but maybe that's what it is. I will think on that some more, I guess..

You had a girlfriend but you're gay? Why'd you move back home? Why don't you move out? Are you still a useless druggie?
You didn't even ask us anything in that tl;dr.

Dude..

>>16955062
you are no alone OP, I dont really have anything significant to say to make you feel better as I was actually crying 10 mins ago wishing I wouldnt wake up. if you decide to stay with them through the summer just remember that eventually summer will end. Try not to be so hard on your coworkers also, you never know when they might be in some deep shit too.
Stay hydrated and eat clean.
How far will an escort be willing to go? I know she charges 50 to 100 for bj and anal. How much will an escort charge to have her ass eaten/ throat fuck and anal? I don't know what to offer

Honestly, it depends on the girl. Again honestly, I wouldn't eat the ass of an escort that is willing to let you eat her ass.
I've seen a couple escorts in my day, the hottest escort I've been with charged 270 Canadian for everything on her "menu." The one that let me do the most charged 300, but she was butt ugly compared to the former. Really just depends on what you are looking for. The ugly ones either cost less or let you do more.

Someone tell me,
Aiight so,
Why do guys want to get in to relationships? Because it's the norm or because it's what they genuinely want?
Like if I'm still okay with them seeing other people, why put all your eggs in just one basket then?
Are we all conditioned for monogamy? Is that truly what the heart desires?
Keep in mind, safe sexual practises are always in place.

It's not a consistent thing. Some guys think they want a relationship, and the ones who desperately want one are often (but not always) looking for a woman to fill a void in their lives that they think she can fix. Ultimately, most of them have bigger issues at hand.
There's also guys like me, who would be cool with a relationship, but aren't seeking one out. Being in a GOOD relationship is awesome. There's that cool fluttery feeling you get when they come in the room, having a partner in crime, sex, and exploring someone in a more intimate way than you do with anyone else, revealing the things about you that really make you that person.
But a lot of relationships aren't built like that - it's just a bunch of people settling for someone at their side, because for some reason they're worried they're going to end up alone forever, and their validation comes from having someone attached to them.
On your larger point of polyamory, a lot of people can't stand that. The reason I don't like it is because there's really no endgame. Cool, we're going to dance around and never commit to anything? Why, because you're afraid of getting hurt? Because you just want to fuck more? Seems silly to me, and I'm fine with casual sex.
At the end of the day, I just don't want to try to pay attention to someone who can take me or leave me for another person at any given time of day.

How do I get the look? All I wear nowadays is jeans and a t shirt, and it's boring, I'm sick of it. I wanna go for a punk-ish look, but not too overboard. I really like black and white.

get dr martens, roll up your jeans, add some suspenders, get a dicky, flannel, or army/canvas jacket. Look up rude boys or skin heads, that's a pretty classic and could almost be fancy punk look.

Go over to /fa/, you'll fit right in
I usually wear some beat up black skinny jeans, a pair of CP's and a grey denim jacket with some random patches sewn on here and there.
>>
>>16955463
Don't do this, you don't want to look like a nazi. (I know skinheads were not originally nazis but people still associate the look with that kind of things)
Personally I just recommend you to look at other people's outfits and copy them, buy clothes one by one. Sometimes there are post-punk/goth inspo threads on /fa/, look on the catalog or the archive.

Advice for taking a photo of myself?
I don't have any photos of myself and I'm getting older. Problem is I don't have any friends to take pictures of me. I want to have some pictures of myself online to make online dating easier, but I have no ideas of what to post without taking the worst of selfies.
Are there any easy photo ideas I could pull off on my own?

Get a tripod and timer. Take outdoor shots of you hiking or something. Ask random people to take yohr picture with your favorite singer at concerts or something.

Set your camera on a timer and just do something, like smile away from the camera make it look like you're having a good time, if you're that desperate.

Sounds like you need to tell mom to fuck off. You do you at your own pace with shit like that, if shes being part of the problem, well. Fuck her...
>>
You could try honestly talking to her and maybe seeing a doctor or talking to someone about it. Even if you don't want to, think of it this way, once your mom hears that you are actually diagnosed, she'll get off your back about it(hopefully).

Need Advice.Badly!
TLDR: Finished School.4 to 5 Months Unemployed.Worked Abroad.Didn't Like the Job.Stayed for the Money. Left for GF & other. Now, back home , & lost on what to do Next.
Possible options: Army Reserve, Masters, More Job Hunting?Anything else?
-------------------------------
Finished School, Took ''Quite'' a while to find first job. Got a highly Lucrative Job Abroad...that just wasn't the right ''Fit''.
I liked the people(some), I liked the product, I liked the side work I did (Similar to what I studied in). I liked the perks. But man...oh MAN...I hated (was BORED out of my MIND) the main part of my job.
Job was supposed to be short term, I was planing to start a Masters after that....But they offered me to stay and I stayed for the **Money** ....Well...it was a great decision, because in a short while after I was debt FREE. I mean...No more student loans,
within less than a year after graduation....So that's good.
But, I left that cloud in came back to the motherland....for many reasons. Boredom, Girlfriend back home, No visible career advancement and others....
But now...I can't seem to find anything else(Been looking for 2 Weeks). Frankly Speaking, I'm not sure what I want to do.
My options:
1)-Go into the reserve(I Applied before going abroad and did all necessary steps, except interview, recruiter told me that it was still a possibility when I come back).
Deadline: Before Summer.(Because theirs the mandatory 2-3 months train only during summer time).
2) Masters. I Still have my acceptance letter and even if I didn't go last semester it still valid to start during summer or spring semesters.
Deadlines:Either this summer or august.
3)Keep Looking for a Job.
Other important details:
-Since coming back, I've been studying for a foreign language for an exam in the summer.(it Conflict with the military thing).
-Ok financial situation.
Context:
Goal after graduation:Work 1 or 2 year , pay debt,start a masters+(army reserve-New skill set)

>Be 21 also male
>never had a gf
>make a tinder along with my friend
>swipe right on every girl who seems nice, trying not to judge on looks
>get two matches after a week and they don't speak to me whilst my friend has 12+
>feel rejected
>delete account
So I'm planning to give tinder another shot, not now but in a few weeks. My friend made an account and matched with a lot more girls, he got like 12 matches in a few days. Pretty jealous but also confused seen as when we go out, which is rare, girls never approach him whilst I've been approached quite a few times.
I don't think it's the way I look, not super thin or fat just average but I started going to the gym about 2 months ago and have stated putting on muscle)
So I've thought that it could be:
a) Pictures aren't very good, no group shots (I have few friends), none in interesting places. I have a picture of my dog?
b) My bio was pretty cringey when I read it back after a week of not being on it before deleting my account
c) I didn't have that many interests becasue I never like things on facebook
d) Have mid-length hair in some pictures and short hair in others.
What would potentially stop a girl swiping right?

yeah pictures are everything. No pictures in your house. avoid selfies. avoid huge group shots. avoid too many pictures with the same theme
1 hobbie photo
1 photo with a friend
1 photo of you just naturally
keep it clean with the bio. don't do anything premature (eg. just here for dates or i want a gf or something). and keep it short and congruent to your personality.

I have no outside hobbies, except for the recent addition of the gym. I read, listen to music and fiddle with my keyboard (not a euphemism). I don't leave the house except for gigs and work.

I don't work in IT, but I want to get into the industry and switch. I have quite a bit of experience with programming and some database stuff just that I have self taught over the years. Is it possible to get certifications and to get a job in IT with those only? I don't think many IT jobs would require four year degrees, but I may be wrong.

IT has very little to do with programming. You'll be spending your days running anti virus software and defragging hard drives. Get a computer science degree and look for work in an industrial setting (electricians with computer science degrees are in huge, HUGE demand). You will never be out of work for the rest fo your life.
>>
>>16954898
I don't know if I really have the time to dedicate to getting a CS degree. Also, I don't think i'd want to program for a living, i'd rather be a computer system analyst or a sys admin or something along those lines.

Really need to decide exactly what you want to do and work on your skills to compete in the job market.
>I don't think many IT jobs would require four year degrees
Really depends what you plan to do. Most of the larger companies have HR departments that require degrees but you can still get past them with a different degree+skills.
I've employed developers with no degrees, business degrees, etc. Doesn't really matter for a job like that. Just have the skills and be able to prove it.
