How do you write cover letters? I'm not a retard, I know how to use google, but all the boilerplate examples that just read "I found the position on linked-in, I'm a hardworking rising professional eager to work as a ___" examples are just chores to read at worst and restating the accompanying resume at best.

Anyone have any cover letters they'd like to share that have actually succeeded? I am having trouble organically putting stuff about the company mission into it.

Second question, what's the right answer to "what have you been doing since graduation?" I graduated in August and have been unemployed since then. My resume is circulating around at least five temp/staffing/recruiting agencies but I have not found a single role through them and I don't really have any confidence that any of them are looking to place me since all but two were extremely dismissive.

I don't know what to do it's too edgy. Go back to the place that possibly got things wrong that might not even like me, to get it fixed. Or... no money, um...will have to sit on it while I find a work around. But, really ill AND at war with world too. It's edge-ville. I've reached my limit of edge, I can hardly walk. Really ill.

No, I've not fucked up.

"Go back to the place that possibly got things wrong that might not even like me, to get it fixed"

see? The place I went to might not have done the right thing...

so...do I go back???

I dunno.

Hey guys. Listen, I was wondering, do employers pull up your minor record from when you were a kid if they are hiring? I didn't do anything horrible when I was younger, I just am worried that what I did will affect me, since my mom says that I won't be eligible in this county for a job because of some stupid shit I did as a kid. Nothing drug related or gang related.
>MFW my mom thinks she knows more about the internet then I do, and constantly tells me that my few Facebook posts about benign shit is going to keep me from ever getting a job.

>>16947801
Was not convicted for a crime. I have never done jail time. Never. I got fired from a job when I was 15 because, well, I was involved with a group of "friends" who liked furries. I had logged into my MySpace page at work, and was fired because I had also talked to some girls about what furries were. Now I was a kid. 15. This happened 7 years ago. But my mom thinks I'm screwed out of ever getting a job because of this.

My best friend is an addict and I don't know how to handle her. She's been in and out of treatment several times and can't stick with sobriety. She doesn't live in my city, so I don't see her in person often, but she will always tell me I'm her only friend. Everybody else in her life gets really angry with her when she uses, and of course it's really upsetting to see her go through that, but I feel like I have to be nice and support her. She knows how tender-hearted I am and that I would be really disappointed seeing her use, but she sends Snapchats of herself super fucked up to 2 of my best friends. Meanwhile, I'm dealing with tons of stress in my own life, have been super depressed, and can't spend all my energy on her right now or I'll lose myself. I feel like I'm failing somehow. I don't know what to do or say with her. I am completely sober (I know addiction runs in my family so I don't fuck around with it), so I don't have a ton of experience with dealing with people like this. I just knows she lies to me about how she is doing all the time. I think it's because she knows I'll cheer her on if she does something constructive, so she just wants me to make her feel good about herself even though she's not doing well. I feel like if I am too harsh with her she will hide even more from me. We have been friends since we were young, and it's so hard for me to watch this and not know what to do. Does anybody have any advice for me and for dealing with addicts in general?

Addicts are destructive users of people. They don't want to be but in the end they don't care so long as they get their next fix.

She's not your best friend. You're not her only friend... her only true friend, the one she'll do anything for.... is the drug she's addicted to.

The best thing to do with any addict is stay well away. No matter how much you think you are helping them, no matter how essential you feel it is to be a part of their life, it will always only end in pain.

The only addicts worth helping are those who have reached the point in their lives that they'll do anything to stop..... and have. Then they need everything you can give them to get them through the toughest phase of rebuilding their life.

Distance yourself from her. Let her know it's the addiction that's driven you away. Avoid all approaches that include promises of stopping and only respond when she says she's actually stopped.
>>
Im 35 been an addict since I was 13. I have gone in and out of every drug addiction you can think of. I will probabley always use some type of drug the rest of my life on and off. Be there for someone only as long as you want to bc drug addicts are selfish .
>>
She's said to me before that she really does appreciate me and that she's sorry that she's fucked me over before. She knows she'll do anything to get what she wants, and she doesn't want to but she can't help it. I don't want to hurt her because I know she really can't help it. I think I have enough distance from her since I hardly see her now, but I still feel like I'm the only one on her side. When we were closer in location she was with me all the time and stayed sober because I was sober. I feel like I was able to provide her a safe space back then. I know I can't control her actions, but I can't help but feel sad about it. I don't have many friends myself, so it's hard to see one of the few people consistently in my life go through this.

So I've gotten a speeding ticket before, paid it, and took a course online which let me avoid the points on my record I think (it was a few years ago.)

Got another ticket today, I'm an idiot and slipped up. Another 2 points. I can pay it off and take another course to take off the points right?

I realize I am a huge idiot, and hate myself for not paying more attention. But yeah.

I read online that if you have four points or less you can take a course

I got 2 points last time, took the course
and now Ive got 2 points

You might be right though, I was just hoping I could. Ah fuck me.

Lol this is not the end of the world. This happens to ppl all the time. Just bad luck. Pay the fine, do the course and pay attention next time. Nothing to be ashamed of m8

My girlfriend, whom I've been with 1 year 7 months and 11 days, is a great person when you first meet her. She's kind and funny and a great friend but I'm worried she's just not a good girlfriend. I guess i will start with reasons i don't like our relatinship. She likes to make me change who i am if she doesn't like it. I was told to never let anyone change me because that's unhealthy. She smokes, which really gets on my nerves and causes burning in my eyes and throat. I deal with it because i love her but if i try to get her to stop she simply gets mad at me and it causes a fight. When it comes to fighting, it's always my fault and i always appologize. It isn't just a simply "sorry" or even a box of chocolates. Once she's in a bad mood it takes the right words at the right time to make her like me again and trust me that's hard. Fights have lasted a few days Max before and when she's mad at me, it feels like the universe is unbalanced and nothing feels right. She's a constant sex hound and at first i was too but as time ticked by I've felt less attracted to her. There's times here and there but i mostly just want to watch tv with her or talk about life. We've broken up several times throughout our relationship. Mostly in the begginingBecause her friends pumped her up but now it's pretty calm. We got back together because it's a mix of her making me feel bad by crying and me giving in and me just missing her companionship. I was told that its a toxic relationship and to get out of it but i don't know what to do. I've got more to type but this fucking text limit. Ask me for detail of you need more. I always forget when i type huge paragraphs

I was also told i won't leave because I'm scared to be alone. I honestly can't see a future with her and I'm scared to go further since i will be graduating and having the option to move in, which she will thrust on me. She's just the type of person to get encouraged by her friends to divorce me and talk half of my possessions. I'm scared to leave because she makes me feel bad and i get drawn in but i don't want to break it off with a few simple words then leave because i feel like something as serious as this deserves care and meaning.
>>
Break up with her, do it in text if you can't deal with the crying and immediately block her on everything so she won't guilt you back into it. Avoid her at all costs and get out of it. You can't see a future with her i get that but there aren't futures for people like that. Their futures are built on the manipulation of others, such as yourself. She needed a crutch and you came in at the right time and now you're a wheelchair.

>She likes to make me change who i am if she doesn't like it. I was told to never let anyone change me because that's unhealthy.
That's kind of a shitty statement, because while you shouldn't try to change yourself to fit in with a group of people, you may be someone in need of change. A relationship is about give and take, so if you want it to succeed, you NEED to change certain things about yourself. If she's trying to change certain hobbies and interests, then that's something you should take issue with because that's a part of who you are. If she's trying to make you take better care of yourself (eat healthier, exercise, basic hygiene, etc) then she's looking out for your best interests.

>She smokes, which really gets on my nerves and causes burning in my eyes and throat. I deal with it because i love her but if i try to get her to stop she simply gets mad at me and it causes a fight.
Well, this is clearly something you're going to have to deal with if you want to stay with her, as stubborn as she is.

>When it comes to fighting, it's always my fault and i always appologize. It isn't just a simply "sorry" or even a box of chocolates.

Fights have lasted a few days Max before and when she's mad at me, it feels like the universe is unbalanced and nothing feels right.
She sounds manipulative as fuck, I know the type. It's not that she's angry at you, necessarily, but she will try to "punish" you for "wrongdoing."

>I'm scared to leave because she makes me feel bad and i get drawn in but i don't want to break it off with a few simple words then leave because i feel like something as serious as this deserves care and meaning.
She genuinely sounds like a terrible person. Do you think she would give you the courtesy of a few last words? Because I don't.

And no, this isn't someone you want to live with. Things will only get much worse.

Can anyone explain why someone would say they love you and care, yet continually push themselves away and try to make a gap that you want to close wider? I'm at my wits end here.

I don't know why anyone would lie to another person. It's simply unfathomable. What kind of person says something they don't mean to get something that they want?
>>
What do you mean by "push themselves away?" Because some people are just naturally introverted and just need a little time alone to recharge sometimes. Like sometimes I just need a day where I don't talk to anyone. It doesn't mean I'm mad or I suddenly stopped liking everyone for a day, I just start to feel burnt out and frazzled being constantly around people too long
>>
>>16947765

By saying 'they love you and care' they think they are doing you a favour by protecting your feelings from being ravaged by the truth. Which is.... they care enough to hide they don't love you.

The stomach pain gives me no appetite and when I do get it it's bad as fuck and all I can stomach is pizza and shit

I need to know about penicillin.
-It can lower seizure threshold
-I've never taken it before, and live 30 minutes from anywhere with epinephrine.
-Potential to screw up gut flora.
-Other forms of toxicity I don't want.

I have an infected impacted wisdom tooth, but am not keen on taking antibiotics. I've come to a point where I'm so used to having poor or erratic health otherwise that even the slightest possibility of negative change is not acceptable. I'd almost rather die of sepsis.

I also have visual snow, which apparently is associated with hypermetabolism in the left lingual gyrus and right anterior cerebellum. Wonder what lowering seizure threshold would do...

Anyone have any experience on if this shit is worth the gamble?

This girl my friend keeps bringing to our group bugs the shit out of most of us, but we don't know how to tactfully approach our friend and tell her to stop bringing her along... everyone hates how fake she is, how much of a leech she is, and how childish and lazy she is, how obnoxious and toxic she is.

How do we tell our friend to stop inviting her friend to our hang outs?

I wrote a long rambly post, but I'll try to be a succinct as possible.

I've been unable to think or find the energy to do basic tasks, study for university when I was in it, work, maintain basic interpersonal relationships with anyone. In uni I would blank out during lectures, I wouldnt study at all, and I'd immediately go home and lay in bed and stare at the ceiling.

I dropped out. I got freelance jobs relating to my field, and I even talked myself into a silicon valley start up at one point (technically) while the founder was looking for VC funding. I never could work consistently and I was fired or stopped responding at the jobs I acquired after a few weeks. They were a mix of freelance gigs and actual jobs. I eventually just stopped working and showing up to do the work. While working I would always blank out and simple tasks would take days.

I became a janitor, and I was almost fired many times for poor performance. I would sleep between 12-14 hours a day, its hard to define what sleep means here because I would spend a lot of time in a kind of half awake daze. I either sleep or am in bed too much or I need to smoke a lot of weed to relax and get away from myself and sleep. Even working as a janitor my co-workers can tell something is off. I know I scare people. My eyes are locked in this kind of very intense stare (think Rasputin or the thousand yard look).

I went to a doctor to get drugs after all this, and I have a number of drugs that I now take to give me physical and mental energy, and they make a difference, but I'm not sure if its enough.

I have lows which I cant describe. I talk to myself frequently when I'm at home. I spend a lot of my day blanked out and in my head even with the drugs. I experience these kinds of lows which happen for days at a time, I can't describe them.

They're far worse than just feeling bad or depressed. I can't describe it, but I'm bedridden a lot of the time. I'm totally gone, and it's getting worse.

I have no real desires anymore. I'd like to be left alone. I don't have any aspirations or hopes. I have nothing I'd really like to achieve. I don't want friends or a relationship. If I was in a prison, I'd be okay in solitary with a book and a cot. I'd alternate between reading to break the monotony and reading. I tried going to therapy years ago, nothing came of it, and I realized my situation is essentially unfixable. I tried medication after refusing, and it makes me barely functional enough to get out of bed, but the situation is more or less unchanged.

I think eventually I'll have to go. I've seen people like me who've gone into their fourties, and it's not pretty.

>>16947693

I don't know of a way to tell you to control yourself. That's up to you. When I was 200 lbs, and wanted to lose weight, I ate healthier food. I ate smaller proportions, and took time eating - instead of racing to see how fast I could stuff my face, I'd eat a few bites and then forget about it for ten or fifteen minutes, usually busy doing something else.

I also took up running, which is difficult to start but if you keep at it, the dividends pay themselves, especially if you have the want to actually do it.

Couldn't even run a quarter mile without dying of exhaustion. The next time I ran, two days later, same result. I started getting discouraged, but my friend told me to keep at it. Next time, I ran a little bit more. The time after that, I ran half a mile. Time after that, I ran the full mile. Then two.

It's putting forth effort, sticking with a game plan, and actually doing it. That's all there is to it.

Maybe you're bisexual and you enjoy getting other guys aroused? Maybe you're a literal cuckold and you enjoy the idea of your girlfriend getting other guys aroused? Maybe both? I don't know. But it's a really shitty thing to do to your girlfriend, that's the most important thing here. Huge, huge betrayal of trust. It's not really about you and your dumb fetish guilt at that point. Nobody cares about your fucking fetishes, but she'd probably be pissed if her nudes get posted on a porn site or something.

Guys, I meet up with a friend I met on /r9k/ tomorrow. We don't really know what to do, so we thought about going to eat something, but no idea what else we should do. How do you also behave around people you meet for the first time, I worry so much that I will do something wrong, he is one of my two only online friends, I don't want to fuck it up. I thought about tons of scenarios over the last few days, but I know my worries won't disappear, they will just be amplified.

Same gender or opposite gender? If same gender are you both gay? Potential romance can change things a bit for obvious reasons. I kind of doubt there are women on /r9k/, but you never know. Just act the same way you do online basically.
