I don't get it anons, I need somebody more experienced than I am to help me with this.

>There's literally no reason to be attracted to her
>She's mildly attractive, not exactly what I look for though.
>Pretty stupid if you ask me
>Stuck up and hangs out with Chad Thundercocks (Excuse my r9k speech)
>Very flirtatious, always touching me, resting her head on my arm, etc.

Why do I like her? Why do I crave attention? There are so many other women I wish I could have but for some reason I like her the most, and I do not know why. Can somebody shed light upon this?

How do I get out of the cycle of fapping/drinking and abstaining? I usually go ~5 days without indulging in either, and then I cave in to one or usually both. This has been going on for years

I don't know how to respond to teasing? I'm the oldest in my family so no one ever teased me.
I'm confused by how this guy acts towards me.
>barely say anything
>"Shut up Anon you're so annoying"
>me: "oh okay"
Sometimes I think of something clever to say but most of the time I don't.
I think he's kidding but he can keep a pretty straight face.
If I really am annoying what should I do about it? Just not talk at all?

>Date girl on and off for year and a half
>She said it wasn't going to work and ended it for good a few weeks ago
>Still have some feelings
>We both go to a smaller uni
>Have a lecture together
>See her on campus sometimes
>Lots of mutual friends who still hang out with her
>Some of my closer friends still hang out with her even though they've known me longer
>Hear her name mentioned daily in passing
>See her face daily
>Every time either of this happens I get really angry/depressed

How the fuck do I get over her? She's deeply integrated into my social circle and I'm reminded of her constantly. This would be so much easier if we went to separate unis or had fewer mutual friends.

>Pic related, me when I see her/hear about her

So I work for a huge grocery chain (whole foods) and recently moved cross country for personal reasons. Long story short I was in a supervisor position back in Ohio and since then I've applied and interviewed 3 times for the next step (associate team leader) which i'm absolutely qualified for but always lost out to others already in that position . After the last interview I was ready to take another supervisor position at a store that's about a 40 minute drive away when I was approached by my store leadership telling me to go for an associate team leader position in my store in another department. I talked with several people including the current team lead and figured it was a good step in a less complicated department and there were no other candidates being considered. I turned down the supervisor position and began prepping for an interview where I figured I was a shoe-in. Today the team lead of that department comes up to me and tells me that at the last minute a guy from another store with 20 years experience in that field applied at the very last minute and that I shouldn't even interview. She still wanted me to come on as a grunt because she wants me to work for her but I can't spend another year of my life wasting away at a base level position. I hate the job I have now and no other jobs are posted. Advice?

My son has confessed to me that today in school he accidentally hit a girl in the eye with a yoga ball. She had glasses and something happened before in where she had a swollen or hurt eye which caused a purple eye. Furthermore after this my son was sitting in a group partnership and said rude things to a girl where the teacher overheard so she had him sit by himself.
He has had problems in the past but now I lost my good job and have been paying a private fucking school which it's prices are going to raise in June/July. Thereafter I can't afford it anymore. What i want is my son not to be such a fucking loser and get good grades, therefore getting a scholarship.
He has met with his counsellor afterschool and he said that he was really pissed at my son, that it was like wanted to get expelled or suspended.
What do i do?!?!?!


I'm lost here, I tried everything! Please, anybody help me!

4 weeks in university and there's a qt who goes to 3/4 of my classes and been looking for a chance to talk to her. Problem is, she has a landwhale of a (I assume) sister who's always around with her. How can I deal with this tightrope of a situation?

Also, any advice for a 21-year-old "loser" who hasn't had a gf would be appreciated.

Post age/gender and your answer to this question:

Imagine you happen to meet somebody and you get along with them great. Your personalities mesh well, you feel comfortable around this person, you're able to make each other laugh and generally feel good.

But you don't know much about this person yet, only that you seem to get along great.

What are some of the things that would be dealbreakers for you (aside from the generally accepted no serial killers/rapists/puppy stranglers/convicted felons/drug addicts, etc)?

Some suggestions to get you thinking:
>unemployed
>college dropout
>highschool dropout
>vidya addict
>likes/dislikes guns
>owns reptiles
>no awareness of politics
>zero pop culture awareness
>no life goals
>has spent time NEET'ing
>is still NEET'ing

Or is having a good personality the ultimate goal for you, regardless of all these other things?

I'm 18. My cousin is a 25 year old blonde. She has 1 kid. We don't talk to often but are friendly when around each other. She's an overall big girl. Big breasts. Big ass (pretty wide due to child birth). I'd do basically anything to her breasts. I could use advice on how to at least play with them. And if so how I could do so. The kids dad ran off as soon as he found out she was pregnant.

How do I become less of a defeatist?

I met this qt that checks out literally everything I look for in a woman but I feel like she is way too good to be speaking to the likes of me, and I'm constantly running ideas in my head of how shes going to reject me, or how i'm reading this all wrong or anything else negative. I really dont like myself so I'm pretty sure thats a major factor in this, and this defeatism goes far beyond this girl, in that I always feel everything bad that has to do with me is automatically my fault and every time something good happens to me I cant accept that and find ways to diminish any good. I'm almost sure its because I'm so familiar with failure I'd rather fail since its something I'm accustomed to than succeeding because it'd be a strange experience. This isnt healthy and its really being detrimental to me right now.

I think I want to go to graduate school, but don't know where to start.
I want to give a little background of myself so that I can get some advice, please.

I went to a UC and graduated in 2011 with a philosophy degree and a mediocre GPA. I basically wasted my undergrad.
Fast-forward to Spring of 2013, when I started taking computer science classes at a local community college. Over those two years I found that I enjoyed programming and CS. I find it sometimes difficult, but also interesting and rewarding. I *did not* walk through it like a breeze - my success (3.9+ GPA, 17 classes from the CS department) largely comes from hitting my head against metaphorical walls over and over again. There were so many times where I got stuck on problems for hours or days. Not all of this stuff came to me easily, but I liked it enough that I kept trying until I got it.
I volunteered as a teaching assistant for most of those two years and tutored many fellow students. I even got to make lecture materials and give a lecture (multiple times) about boolean operators and conditions to beginning CS students.

I heard that if I want to do grad school, the master's degree comes before the phd. If that's true, then phd aside, how could I set myself up to get into a master's degree program in CS?

There's one more thing I should mention. My math is behind. I took and passed a 3D graphics class without taking Linear Algebra, so I am capable, however my knowledge isn't even up to par with calculus. I'm not afraid of math, just very behind. The more I study CS and programming, the more interested I become in math.

So whenever someone dies I have a hard time crying of feeling huge amounts of grief, and I feel so bad about that. It's not like I didn't love the person; I do and I miss them a lot, but I just can never seem to feel as sad about it as other people. It might be because I'm an atheist and find death to be just a normal part of life, but I'm not so sure.

This fact has made other people, like my brother, very frustrated with me because I wasn't whaling on the ground for the passing of our grandmother. There was never a moment of sudden realization that she's gone, I just accepted it and went on with my life.

I also don't like going to cemeteries or focusing on death that much, and the idea of my own mortality isn't frightening either.

Is this normal?

Hey /adv/

I am thinking about removing one of my friends from my life. I have 3 groups of friends - main group, secondary group and uni friends. this guy is part of the secondary group so i could stop talking to him with out any real consequences.

He believes the earth is flat. He is a stereotypical, basement dwelling conspiracy theorist. He depends on his mum for literally everything and he tries to deter other people from getting a decent career. He doesent do anything but play video games and watch youtube videos.

I dont see why i should stay friends with this person. I have tried helping him and he doesent listen. Should i just stop talking or should i remove him from everything? i.e facebook, skype, phone number.
