This isn't even asking if I have it, I know I have it.
First time in my life I'm going to be 100% honest with someone.

Things I worry about constantly.
- Gynaecomastia
- Cleft chin
- How I walk
- Driving
- Weight
- Muscle mass
- Dying alone
- Pronouncing R's (my name is starts with it)
- I try to hard and people know that.
- I constantly feel I owe strangers, like they are better than me.
What do I do? I don't even wanna admit I have it to people because I worry about what they'll think.
Doctors? Pills? Fuck that, argh.
These are all pretty normal things. I wouldn't worry about it.

>tfw no clingy/stalker gf

This is one of those ideas that seems hot because of anime but, in real life, is terrifying and dangerous.
Just keep fantasizing bc the reality isn't worth pursuing
>>16945149
I don't watch anime...but I would be down for a clingy gf or "cute stalker" type- as in "waits outside your house" not "kills your cat" kind
Is it possible to make a decent living in a job that makes a positive contribution to the world?
I'm not really personable/smart/driven enough to become a business visionary or therapist or lawyer or anything. I'm pretty well built for anonymous, Sisyphean pencil pushing, I'd just like to be a cog in a machine that actually matters.
But also a machine that works - I'd prefer to treat a cause rather than a symptom, I definitely don't want to waste my life to a broken system. I'd love to be a part of inching towards a future where we can see a sustainable difference in statistics. Whether that means increasing efficiency in ethical food production, improving access to mental health care, working towards health-based breed standards in dog shows, fucking whatever.
People are always running around raising 'awareness', and then at the end it's just like "Okay... So what can I actually DO?"
Yeah yeah, 'donate', 'sign my petition,' 'raise more awareness.' idk man.
But I basically hate my job and it'd be great to replace all these wasted hours with work that isn't completely fucking useless.
I obviously need to figure out my passions and research some options from there for myself, but I'm mainly wondering if anyone has knowledge/experience (good or bad) with (seemingly) positively-impactful careers (whether you were aware/motivated by that fact or not), and could share.
I just have no solid image in my head of how I could contribute to anything as a lifestyle, just the crazy hero shit like EMTs, social workers, volunteer firefighters, etc. But I'd rather, y'know, keep all my limbs and sanity.

Usually most of the jobs that actually "make a difference" are hard labor jobs that suck dick. However I work as an environmental field tech, which I go out to a site and environmental remediation, and find it rather enjoyable as it does make a big difference to the people that live there.
You're always going to be a cog in the machine but that doesn't mean you have to hate your job you just have to find something you're passionate about.
how do I deal with a situation where
2 sisters are in love with me
I love the older one
I was in a relationship with the younger one for 7 months
Me and the bigger one always secretly loved eachother
We still do
The younger one doesn't know
She's not sure how she'll react, but she said if I told her that we're together she'll likely 'disown' her as a sister or whatever
I somehow want to help the older one find a solution to this cause I'm not interested in the younger one, whereas I have actual strong feelings for the older one
I'd like your opinions
pic unrelated
>>16945099
What happens isn't really your decision to make. The older sister is going to have to figure this one out and whether or not she wants a potentially permanently estranged relationship with some of her family.
If the older sister is willing to do that, you can try to explain to the younger one that this isn't you deciding between the two of them, it's whether or not you're with the older sister or no one.
I don't know why the fuck you would be with someone while you're in love with someone else. That's incredibly unfair to the other person unless you make them very aware up front that you're not serious about them.
>>16945099
Break up with the younger, then give it a solid year or some chunk of time like that before you start in with the older.
That way it at least won't appear to her like you were cheating on her with her biggie sis.
I was trying to buy 4 ACO DMT from a reserach chemical vendor, 1 gram for 75 bucks. But I accidentally fucked up. I got 70 bucks worth of bitcoin for 95 bucks, and sent them 70 bucks not seeing I was missing 5 dollars. What the fuck should I do? I tried emailing them saying how I screwed up, but I'm not sure what I should do at this point, should I just forget it ever happened and let them have the money or should I actually try gaining it back? I feel like I just made a big mistake and never shoulld have attempted this.
>>16944878
You're retarded, you lost money, but now you have 70 worth of bitcoins to buy whatever you want with.
Also,
>emailing bitcoin vendors
No, son
>>16944887
Yeah I know it's retarded, just a first timer to this whole thing. The vendor said on the website that emailing questions is okay, i just regret thinking this was a good idea in the first place. I'm paranoid as fuck about this.
How do I get oxycodone? I don't have any drug connections, and I can't keep drinking alcohol. I feel like my insides are falling apart and I have been drinking heavily for the past 6 months. I need another alternative.
>inb4 pot I hate weed, it makes me feel dumb and I have grades to maintain.
Oxy is shit, don't bother.
>>16944631
I've got some prescribed for pain before and I really liked it.
I did seven tabs of LSD last Friday night, I now don't really have the desires or feelings I have towards people or a lot of anything I did for that matter.
What can I expect in the future now with how I will be?
>>16944580
Dont even sweat it. 7 hits would give you a traumatic evperience most likely. Youll feel better in a few weeks
You're going to be fine. I suggest some good pho and some weird movies to take your mind off the existentialist blues.
>be just over 2 years ago
>fuck random slut who's very drunk
>next day she gives me her number, she wants more
>never contacted her
>3 or 4 months later, text her because horny
>she still remembers me & is open for sex
>bail because better pussy came along
>no contact since then
>be today (over 1.5 years later)
>horny & no gf
how desperate would i look if i just started messaging her now?
also what would i say?
>hey remember me? we fucked once over 2 years ago. i'm not getting any at the moment so wondering if you're still available?
>>16944509
You are desperate and you don't care about her, so why do you care about her reaction?
If she rejects you you delete her number. That's the only negative.
>>16944524
I don't care how she'll react, I only want to decrease my chances of being rejected, cause that will make my mission to find more pussy harder
Hey /adv/,
It recently got out in my friend group that I slept with one of the guy's girlfriend. I've basically been completely ousted - removed from the facebook group thing, been defriended by most of them, had people go on a diatribe to me about how I'm scum etc.
A few of them don't care, but 90% of our socializing happens in a group setting so for all intents and purposes I no longer have any friends. I have no intention of trying to make them forgive me; even if they for whatever reason took me back in I couldn't deal with the awkwardness and stigma anyway, so that's that.
I'm not looking to justify my actions or anything, but I'd like to know if anyone here has been in a similar situation? I've never been in a position like this beore. I work graveyard shifts so I almost never interact with people and have few to no avenues to replace these friends. Does anyone here live a life without friends? What's it like? Is it possible to be happy?
Cheers guys
Meet new people, make new friends. What the fuck? You think you're one of the few people who works those kinds of shifts?
They're out there, you're just not looking and making assumptions.
Find some online friends, I guess. Will be harder for you to fuck that up. Given your hours, be prepared to make friends with Aussies (assuming your NA).
hey /adv/ i need some help. A little about me, working full time supporting myself. Work a shit job that pays ok but no job security.
I am from pennsylvania where everything is factory work.
Looked at online degrees from reputable college. Should i do accounting? or maybe go to school and be a LPN nurse? psychology?
anything that needs schooling to get into is what i want.
I have about 10k saved up so i am thinking of using it to go back to school or any ideas what to do with that money to make some more to help pay for school?
>>16944401
I have to find a gym where I can do this exercise.
It's a tough question and it really depends on how far you're willing to go.
When I was facing the same issue I opted for a local community college program. It's still industrial but I just didn't have the perseverance to do a 4 year stint. Let alone bear the costs. This way it was much cheaper and I get some of the benefits.
As for employment, that's something you should research you local area on. If factory work is what is there odds are that's where you will end up so you may have to move.
But if you want to do accounting or whatever before even asking us you really should've at least figured out how much the costs are.
I have aspergers and im incapable of being around people. its too stressful. im on social security, i get 590 a month. not enough to live in my own place. but i want to live in my own place and my family wants me out too. i need a way to make money at home. enough to live on. ive looked into being a translator, translating documents and stuff, other than that i cant find anything. pls help.
Try amphétamines, that shit makes you alpha as fuck

how are you with animals?
I have a fairly weird situation to share and ask advice on. I don't think it's possible to discern a sure answer with the info I have, but I'm hoping other people will spark ideas to figure this out.
I take classes at two universities. I take two night classes at a fairly prestigious state school, while taking a full schedule at a school one of my parents work at because it's free.
Anyway, at one of my night classes I met a girl. Very attractive. One day we were talking about our school situations, and I found out she commuted from a place that is in the middle of the highway between my home town and the state school(I live about 2 hrs away and drive in for mondays/wednesdays).
From this I said we should hang out some time, and didn't think much of it. On the last day of classes she said she wanted me to make sure I came and visited her next semester(which is now).
We made plans two weeks ago. She initiated. I was going to stay with her over Wednesday after my classes and stay until the next morning. Sounds pretty good, right?
She got a stomach virus. I can confirm because she literally sent me a picture of vomit to mess with me. Since then she has acted more friendly, but hasn't mentioned me coming back. I asked her yesterday sort of jokingly if I could come this Wednesday, and she sort of ignored it. I mean it was wrapped in a joke about meeting her cat, because I don't want to be pushy, but I'm getting vibes that she has gone from begging me to come over to being shy and/or uninterested. I did nothing.
Any ideas what could be going on///what course of action is best for me?
I feel like I should clarify on "more friendly" before I get replies.
She has gone from texting me every now and then to, since the stomach virus, texting me every single day. Like all day, if I ignore her for a couple of hours she will text again.
But she doesn't seem to want to see me.
??? Confusing. I hope the minds of /adv/ can solve this puzzle.
bump, thread dropped low really fast
i´m supposed to feel happy about everything going on in my life but i am back to being a sad sack and a mess of insecurities.
i started dating someone who loves me a lot and can´t even hide it but i can´t never answer with the same enthusiasm because i fucking hate myself and i just feel sad for that person
i even started avoiding talking with him, etc, i would rather just talk to other people because he makes me sad and insecure about myself.
i know i should probably break it off but i care about his well being too much to do so. i even realized that i can feel enthusiasm and happy feelings when talking or being around other guys but he just turns me into a weak and pathetic mess.
i do feel like in some way i do love him but i´m just puzzled about everything.
i started feeling good a few months ago, accepting compliments, even went on and participated in a few proyects relacted to my major in college, but now i´m back to feeling like shit.
how could i fix my sense of self worth?
I'm no expert but you sound depressed. Go to therapy.
So, everyone that I work with is very demoralized. We've had a ton of people quit, including our director, and the company has been pretty transparent in telling us that people's roles aren't going to be replaced, and we're not going to get any people to help with the workload, we're just going to need to work harder.
My boss is pretty clear that she's "tired," and she just left today for a two week vacation. We had a meeting before she left, and she jokingly said something about "if I come back." I laughed and said, "if you quit, give me a heads up so I can put in my two weeks," and she got suddenly serious and said "well this would really be a good shot for career advancement for you."
I'm already stressed enough, I don't want the kind of stress she has. How do I play the next two weeks? What do I do if she really doesn't come back?
For what it's worth, moving into her job would mean I'd start making six figures. It'd be a pretty big deal, and would look great on my resume... but...
U should go for it I believe in you I hope she quits so you can be rolling in the dough
Why would you want to work for a company like this anyways? Let the motherfucker burn.
Hi. I'm thinking about taking up a palaeontology course in uni and I would like to know if its a stable job. What I mean is like I don't know.. 9 to 5 maybe? Sorry if its confusing. (I'm not good with words)
Thank you!
Do this job only if you truly care about paleomicrobiology, botany and geology.
There's a lot of math, a lot of museum curio and a lot of teaching or writing. It's a mess but if you like the one time a year you get to party with dinosaurs it's worth it
Paleontology is good work.
If you make the right connections.
I know two friends into paleo shit.
They mostly do lab work on chickens and sometimes to field work.
Pretty much, you need to make connections.
Find a lab.
Get in there deep.
Then you got a job.
If you're some kind of loner who can't network, you're fucked.
But that's true of anything academic
