Won't even let me reply on the app...

Sure, now it'll do it...

Gambling is essentially stupid tax.
Don't do it

I think you're thinking of the lottery...

While gambling does involve a bit of luck sometimes a lot of the games can easily be in your favor if you knows how odds work, how to read people, and generally how to play.

I play a Texas Hold 'Em game about twice a month. There's usually $1,000 on the table. I've won more than I've lost playing because I play a lot. So I don't see how it's a tax if I'm up money.

Casinos only exist because a majority of people fail.
Everyone thinks that they're in the minority that comes out in the black.
But you aren't.

Don't tempt fate.
If you want to get your gambling addiction jollies off, go into stock trading.
At least that isn't designed to fuck you

Prostitution, drug dealing, the possibilities are endless

Join the Navy.

Get stationed on a ship, see the world.

>>16908907
>I'd be willing to work for food and shelter only
So like everyone else in the world?

Are you some faggot trying to take a stand against the "system" or something?

>>16908907
I've been in similar shit lately
1. find a place. if you have money try to convince someone in giving you a place to sleep even if you don't have a job
2. Go in a bad part of your area and ask people for Jobs, saying its ok even if its irregular
3. Check churches, religious associativa and such, they can often help in these situation

Last, be prepared to put aside pride or to the possibility of committing crimes if you want to survive. for your mentali health, keep in touch with friends or online communities you're part of. Helps keeping your ego togheter
to survive the only thing you need is the will. everything that's not part of your body is an accessory and can be substituted
You're free man

What about start wearing makeup or clothes that make you feel sexy / pretty?

>>16908940
I was toying with the idea except it brings a whole new set of problems I have to work on, honestly.

I've never worn makeup - I wasn't allowed when I lived with my parents and I don't really have the money to go and spend on those products since I have none at all. Then to learn how to use them... Same with clothes - dressed very conservatively over my parents (I still can't wear tanktops without feeling uncomfortable), and I haven't the money to get anything else.

Ask your bf if he can buy you some? Does he work...? Could you find a job if possible?

Something like this except minus the "originally going to kill himself" part

Fuck everything as in fuck society and its hedonistic tendencies and withdraw into a spiritual retreat wherein you gain utmost confidence, assurance, self-confidence and wisdom?

or

Fuck everything, let's just do blow and fuck hookers?

fuck bitches and shoot a cop ;)

For reference, I'm not hurting for female attention. I have 3 other women I sleep with regularly but I wanted something with this woman. We clicked by her own admission, she had/has feelings. She just couldn't commit the way I needed, I was going to be a partner or nothing and I chose nothing.

>>16908822
In there are more sluts in the city/clubs. Most people who go to clubs are there with the purpose to get a one night stand.

>>16908854
Well I mean single bars/clubs in both areas, my bad. I just feel like the demographics are widely varied just a half hour apart

>>16908822
Well yes. I live in a small town with little crime and no real nightlife except a couple bars. The large city just 30 minutes away has lots of gang crime and city sluts in general. Cities are garbage.

>>16908809
focus on something more productive that you can enjoy.

I really don't know what the fuck you mean, but I'll give you some good advice.

Stop being a fat yaoi fangirl.

>>16908809
Start writing your fantasies
what series are you into by the way?

Bumping because curious

>unhealthy
Hard to see why it would be unhealthy aside from classic conditioning. If you masturbate to them as objects then your (subconscious) assumptions about them will be that they're just sex objects really. So when you meet them again that could be problematic. But as you say, you treat them with respect. You're not your conditioning, you can work against that. But all of this is assuming your fantasy about them is associated to them. It's not entirely sure that it is. Personally I've done similar things and eventually I realized that my mental image of them when masturbating was really just a projection of what I wanted them to be like but with (most) of their normal looks.

I don't see this as a major problem.
But I'm interested to know if you experienced the same thing I did. If you see any signs of conditioning working in this case. And if you have to actively force yourself to respect them as more than sex objects?
Terms:
Classical conditioning - you know that experiment where you ring a bell and feed a dog. The dog associates the ringing of the bell eventually to getting food. So the body (and probably mind) reacts as if it was actually given food when the bell rings.
In your case my idea is that perhaps you get hard when you see them or have changed your view of them. How you actually act is more rational I'm sure.

I don't get turned on when I see them. My feelings for them surface again and I do treat them like human beings because I truly believe they are. Not just a facade. It's just afterwards, I'll I guess "cleanse" my mind of them by thinking extremely filthy things about them. That way they're no longer a girl with these things I loved about them, but just any other girl on the street with a hole between their legs. But no, I've never had to force myself to respect them. That just comes naturally whenever I see them.

I guess take it as a "drink to forget" but a "Masturbate to forget"

/bread

So what things are you actually experienced with?

>>16908732
Experienced with? You mean my hobbies?

I'm 7 years older and I still feel that way, bro. I just cannot bring myself to relate to the shallowness of the common human condition. In the 7 years from high school to today I did as much as any other person, I finished a tour in the army as a parachute rigger (I wanted to jump from a plane and do the hard exercise), I did some school and got work as an emt, I've volunteered at too many places, I've had lots of sexual partners, but fuck I just don't care about any of it. I'm thinking of just re enlisting with a harder job, but the army is draining for people who have a hard time understanding people.

I have no advice beyond do what you love, man. Shitty advice, but it led me to a good life and a good looking future, so hey.

There's make up sex, which goes -> got hurt -> realise it was silly -> still feel hurt but love the person a lot -> fucking.
And there's people that just like to be beaten up.
Both exist.

>>16908661
Depends on what type of crazy she is.

Is she like into mystical shit, political, or is she a straight up serial killer?

>>16908743
Very clingy, in and out of the mental hospital, cuts on the wrists, anger issues the list goes on. None of that would be a huge problem if was really hot but she's like a 4. I normally wouldn't consider it but I've had a dry spell for a long time.

>>16908661
>I could have sex with a girl who I don't like on a personal level and don't find attractive, but I'm thinking of doing it anyway because lol sex
Grow up.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what the problem is here, please clarify.

try self harming until you pass out and dont wake up
