So how do I get better at readding the room?

>be at friends party, small group less than 10 ppl
>be a little drunk, becuse it be a party
>talking about jobs
>interject, quite rudely, hystrical factoid about this system we are in being fake
>person retorts that they don't want financial /adv/ from jobless 20 somthing y/o

but the truth is that I had a job but gave it up to live off the grid for a bit, and am now back to go to college to learn a trade.

>did not get this in the convo
>saved face and addmited fault
>tried to go back to convo or change it but person was distrot, and then left soon after

Correction, I think some other ppl had a buzz going, but it was more casule than the mood I was in.

It was friends going away party, and he is not a very rowdy person. I should have picked up on that,

Don't try to give people protips or bring up some factoids that nobody asked for. Has nothing to do with reading a crowd and more with not being a "know it all asshole". Just go with the convo and give your opinions if they fit.

Most people get tired of hearing others ramble on about 'facts'. Might work in a one on one but with a group of friends you're trying to socialize not do a class lecture or personal debate

not usually one for asking for online advice but this is one of the more bizarre situations ive been in so...

>australian
>play in band
>go on tour to NZ, co-headlining w/ NZ band
>end up hooking up with frontwoman of NZ band
>fall pretty hard for each other, intense kinda relationship feeling vibe in really short amount of time
>tells me she's going to london for two months to work as orderly
>unexpected large amount of money appears in my bank
>she (probably half joking) suggests i come to london with her.
>I leave NZ back to Australia, promise to each other soon etc, really intense
>keep talking when I get home
>After a week think "fuck it" and book flights to london in september
>tell her and she is excited
>fast forward like 3 weeks. she's been in berlin for a week or so.
>messaging has slowed down, initially put it down to different timezones but now not so sure.
>last messaged her 2 days ago, no reply.

ordinarily, if I was talking to a girl and it seemed to be petering out I'd walk away from it. I've never enjoyed talking to people online anyway. If I hadn't bought tickets to London, I'd probably have started trying to forget about it. But now I'm meant to be going in under 4 weeks. Never been to London, no real plans of what I'd do if this doesn't work out.

not even sure what my question is but eh

Can't you get a refund?
I mean, you rushed in; you said that you both were very passionate but still you rushed in. I mean, she was just going abroad for 2 months. I'd say your situation is bizarre but if you don't wanna go get a refund or just keep trying to reach her and to GET IN AN ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP if you're wilding so hard for each other. You still got a month til september, try to see what happens and if it just doesn't work like it just go to have fun at London, you can even see her once or twice and hook up with her if that case would be enough for you.
>>
See if you can get a refund.

If not just enjoy london for what it is and get a job with all the pakis.

As for the lady, if you really want her, you should try to book a flight to berlin where she currently is.

Ahh, warms me heart to see trans-tasman cultural exchange

t. NZ'er

To the point, I say just go mate. If you've got the money and the time, make a backup plan of going backpacking around europe. It's all close together - you can train everywhere. I imagine you aussies are on good visa terms with our euro chums. If you meet up with the girl, then great! If not, just go have a great time partying it up in hostels. You don't even need to plan much - Just have a google of the sites you'd like to see; make a rough priority list, and just go. If things go the backpacking route, well then you can just take the opportunity to get the old OE off the bucket list.

does anyone have advice about dealing with anxiety of death

I had a scare about 3 days ago that I thought I might've experienced a heart attack, and I am now constantly thinking about the inevitability of death. I understand that death will come to us all eventually, and that you can never delay the inevitable. but I still feel frightened

but is there any wise advice to get over this feeling?

Look up the tale of the tiger and the strawberry.

Or get religious

>>18603568

Dealing with this too. I've had 2 somewhat friends die on me this year.

I've tried a lot of things to numb the anxiety...alcohol...sleep aid...marijuana...I've actually stopped trying weed b/c that was feeding into my anxiety so I don't recommend that. I find psychedelics sort of help and during my down phase, I did quite a bit of mushrooms...I wish medical science explores this on how psychedelics can relieve depression and anxiety. I'd be microdosing on shrooms, everyday, before bed.

Right now I'm just learning how to live. I've got a kick ass job I get to go to...friends and family who care that I'm alive...I'm Catholic but I'm not serious about it...It's just learning to be grateful day by day and that you alone get to experience this...I dwell on the fact that even if I'm gone tmrw...there will be people who miss me...

It's also this idea that we weren't always alive from this perspective...there was a time before where this identity existed until we are born. It's simply going back to a time before that.

I'm a sap so I tend to take life quotes to heart. Doctor Strange is probably one of my fave movies. I hope this quote gets you like it got me.

Stop being a faggot. You will die eventually.

Just worry about it in the moment, then relax and just keep living.

You'll die whenever, until then, don't live like a bitch.

Someone I met online and I abruptly stopped talking a year or 2 ago after I stopped using Skype and moved over to Discord. I ended up logging back into Skype a while back, and saw that he had posted his Discord ID on his status. I want to see if it's worth talking to them again, but I'm worried it'd be ridiculously awkward for the both of us if I bothered.

My girlfriend has no job (in mid 50's)And I am close to retiring but my ex wife fucked me over, (took half my pension) She is eligible I believe for Social benefits, how would I go about getting them for her? Money is tight and every little bit helps.
Some more info she is not illegal; I have no intention of getting married again; And we will be living in the county area for this. Obviously they can't know about me.

You are either asking to commit welfare fraud, or disability fraud (if she was mentally disabled, you would already know the person you need to talk to).

I'm not interested in helping you take my taxes when you don't actually qualify.

Feel like i'm at a crossroad. I'm 18 years old, about to move across the state to start school. I have a few scholarships and a general idea of what i want to do if it comes down to it, but I don't want it. I don't want frats or parties or embroidered sweatpants. My one big hope is that I can find some people to play music with, that hopefully grows into something. I write poetry and songs and play guitar hours a day. I have a job (25 hours a week). I'm a pretentious fuck. I don't know what to do. I don't want a fence and I can't wake up at 6 AM anymore. Just don't know to do. I'm willing to work for what I want, I'm willing to move and give up shit. It's just that I don't know what to do.

If you don't know what to go to college for, you shouldn't go to college. If you can't wake up at 6AM, you're going to have problems upon graduating or dropping out. If you're looking to play music, look for clubs if you decide to go to college.

But the most important thing I can stress is this: College isn't high school. You aren't obligated to go, and even if you aren't paying a cent, you are sacrificing years of your youth to go. You owe it to yourself not to waste those years. College is a means to an end: get qualified to get a job you want, and to network. If you aren't treating it like a 24/7 job, you're making a mistake.

What are some nice things I could do for my mother? We're going on a picnic to the beach tomorrow for an outing and going swimming. She's been going through depression since her husband left her. I owe everything to her and want to do something to cheer her up.

Mom's typically like handwritten, heartfelt notes accompanied by pretty, but useless, things, like a hand-blown glass trinket that you custom ordered specifically for her.

>>18603396
already sounds like a good outing, probably just be around and hug her and all that shit you do with your mom, dont try to talk sbout the issues on a day like that, let her have a happy day.

Thank you for your suggestions. It's worth noting that she has a twisted sense of humor and she's very sarcastic. I know exactly what kind of gifts she would like, but I was thinking of something that wouldn't cost money since we're trying to save right now.
>>18603405
Yeah, it's going to be a nice sunny day. It's just a day doesn't pass when she's not thinking of it.

We don't live in an area where shops are accessible or own a vehicle. We also don't have much money to get by, so options are just limited right now.

There are some people in my life that are miserable because they are bored or can't engage in the hobbies they used to do for fun at the moment. They have no self confidence in learning things. It is to the point that it has come to annoy me that they can not entertain or help themselves meanwhile there are so many things to do with an open mind. They say they are too old or too stupid to learn how to use their smartphone, find a better job or learn how to play a game. I am very tired of listening to them complaining without doing anything to solve their problems. How can I help these people believe that they can learn new things?

You are not responsible for their happiness. If they come to you, saying they are miserable, the best piece of advice you can give them is: "You can't keep doing the same things every day and expect things to change."

What state / city is best to start a life in and live in? Like go to college, make friends, university, get a job, all that stuff?

Depends on what you want to do. If you're wanting to get into a tech related job, then the bay area. That said, it's the most expensive place to live in the US, so if you want to be literally anything else, it's a horrible choice.

Go on backpage, check the area of California you're in, and look through the W for M listings. Always check to see if they include reviews and links to other sites that give reviews too, to make sure they're not cops or shady ass bitches.

Good luck and be safe, anon.

So I found this girl I use to know on Instagram and we followed eachother but the problem is I don't know if I should message her now or later. We'll be both going to college soon and I don't even know what college she's going to. Would it be ok if I just said nothing and maybe message her in a few weeks?
