How do you know if college just isn't the path for you?
Did you like Elementary, Middle, and High school?
>>16894818
Elementary school was good, middle school was okay, I had an extremely hard time in high school, especially towards the end.
>>16894826
Socially or Academically?
How can I make the most of my NEETdom?
It doesn't look like anyone will be hiring me any time soon so I'm stuck on government benefits.
I'm already lifting weights and learning guitar but surely there's more I could be doing.
What are your tips and hints?
What can I do to stay motivated?
I read and draw a lot. It's still escapism, but at least I'm learning something.
>>16894807
Reading is intellectually stimulating.
Drawing involves creating something yourself which is admirable regardless of it's quality.
If I was going to start drawing, should I use a guide or just start doing it myself and practice a lot?

I recently started lurking on /ic/. They have a lot of great material for learning. You can start anywhere, but fundamentals will be helpful later down the line.
Need some advice
Okay so about three years ago i went to Australia for a year and it was the greatest time of my life, I met great people and forged very strong relationships.
Now ever since i got back home i have not been the same and i always regretted leaving and felt like i truley belonged in Australia. Recently i have really considered
going back and i want it to be permanent but i have a few problems. First problem is i am about 10k in debt because of school and the career path i chose wont transition well over seas (i work for a railroad) so basically i need to go get a new career so i have considered going back to school to get a trade like plumbing, heavy duty mechanic, or anything that could get me a skilled workers visa. Honestly the debt problem is that big of an obstacle to overcome its my next problem that really makes things hard...
A year ago my younger brother was diagnosed with leukemia. He is doing really good and has been in remission for a year. Every once in awhile the chemo can be a bit rough on him by making him feel ill or tired/weak, but for the most part he is doing really good. He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, laughs and jokes around and honestly you wouldn't be able to tell he has cancer until he told you.
Now part of me really wants to go back to Australia but when i think about it i always think about my brother and how i shouldn't leave him or my family for my own happiness.
I tell myself it would be selfish of me to leave them and what if his health takes a turn for the worse and i am all the way in Australia? I feel like i should be spending time with him here but honestly i am not happy here and i have not been since i came home. Lately i have been feeling really depressed and when i think back to my time in Australia my heart hurts and i just dream of running away and not looking back but like i said i always feel like i am a very selfish person for wanting to do that.
Am i being selfish for wanting this?
Inb4 Fuck off Were full.
You're not gonna live forever. Your debt problem is going to stick with you regardless of where you reside.
Live your life. if that's in Aus then go for it and keep in regular contact with brother.
Where abouts in Aus did you live?
>>16894770
ever thought about doing railroading in aus? its a lot bigger than the usa, and longer trains
yes family is family but you need to be happy too. living somewhere that you dont like just to keep someone else happy just makes you a performing seal. sometimes you have to be selfish, having a dream that is just for you and just you. if you tell your brother you want to go to aus he may not understand you or your reasons. it sounds like its something you need to do for yourself.
What can I do against a disgusting herpes infection? I got two sores on my lip, swollen lymph nodes and a headache. I feel like I have a cold.
Wat do?
>>16894763
That doesnt sound like herpes.
The sores sound like they might.. But the rest doesnt.
>>16894765
I had this kind of shit before and my doctor told me it was herpes. I didn't have a headache though.
I'm kind of worried. I think I'll go see a doctor.
I'm 18 and my whole life my parents have done everything for me like cleaning my room, cooking, doing the laundry ect. They want me to start doing this stuff myself now but just the though of it makes me stressed as hell. How do i do all these basic house things without flipping my shit?
Just do it and stop being a cunt
Think out a schedule and stick with it. If you need to learn the basics any search engine will help.
It's actually some of the easiest and most relaxing stuff. Have you ever suffered from a real problem? I assume only one or two. To give you a rough idea, wiping your own ass should inflict about 0% of the damage that a real problem does.
Okay so basically a "friend" invited me to go home with him to Malaysia. He can be nice at times but 90% of the time he's a dick. Plus he has a lot of mood swings. I have trouble with saying no and his parents already made contact with mine and arranged everything. My dad bought the tickets but after researching a bit on the airline you can still get refunds.
We go to Boarding school together and I don't want to spend my time off with him
Have you tried saying "no, I don't want to go"?
>>16894814
This is /adv/; do you seriously believe OP has used common sense before coming here?
Also:
>boarding school
Underaged pls go
I've got one simple question, but answering it depends on some story, so here we go.
I'm kind of not really social person. Most of the time spending at my apartment, having fun programming, sometimes hiking, working out and running. Not really into relationships. I've spent lots of time being in few and I considered it a waste of time. Never met any girl matching my interests so been doing just common shit together. I really don't like meeting new people so it helps.
Getting closer. Right now I'm working at some heavy industry factory. They pay well and I don't have to interact with people. Just do whatever plan states and watch not to get hurt & not to hurt others by accident. Easy stuff. But you know, it's kinda boring. I know couple programming languages, started doing webpages when I was 12. I'm wondering if a person like me can actually have an interesting job. I considered opening some business but that involves customers. Tried interviews for programming, but my communication skills are too low even in my native language.
So the question is: What job should I'll be looking for?
Employers who actually pay decently want employees who have good interpersonal skills. You can be the best in your area and still have trouble finding a job if you're incapable of getting along with other people. Work on your social skills if you want a good job.
Alright so I can assume there are no alternatives even if I exclude money as a factor?
It might sound creepy, but I fell in love with a girl I haven't met and she doesn't know I exist.
I know about her from a friend of mine who tried his luck with her, but it didn't work out. I've been stalking her social media since, holy shit we have a lot in common including sense of humor, interests, political opinions etc.
I also look better and more sociable than my friend, so I think I definitely have a chance.
The question is, since she lives in another city, how to approach her without seeming creepy? Should I try to run into her somehow or come off clean?
>>16894669
>It might sound creepy, but I fell in love with a girl I haven't met and she doesn't know I exist.
It sounds creepy because it is creepy.
>I've been stalking her social media since
That's creepy.
>how to approach her without seeming creepy?
You can't, because you're fucking creepy. Women smell that shit from a mile away.
You, sir, are grade A, 100% USDA certified creep meat.
Just try not to rape and murder her when she turns your creepy ass down, k? k.
>>16894678
Lmfao kinda saw this response coming, but for real though it's not as bad as it sounds, I'm just a little lonely cause I haven't had gf in a while.
>>16894690
>I'm just a little lonely cause I haven't had gf in a while.
Well, nothing more attractive to women than a creepy, lonely guy who stalks them online then travels long distances to track them down and "accidentally" bump into them.
Keep up the good work. I'm sure this strange, pathetic strategy of yours will pan out.
im about to be interviewed for a personal piece by a local tabloidish magazine.. im worried my ex or her faimly might talk shit about me in the comments section... should i just do it anyways?
>>16894667
You don't want advice, you just came here to tell us that you're going to be in a magazine and you want us to ask you questions about why you're going to be in a magazine.
Go away, kid.
>>16894686
no not really... actually im pretty nervous about the whole thing and its not in my character at all to seek out this kind of attention but my friends told me that if i dont im being a total pussy
but yeah i have one ex that hates me and thats the only rational fear i think so if anything i want people to say dont fucking worry about it blah blah blah
I've got a biology exam on Friday and I don't know shit since I've spent most of my days in class wanting to kill myself and so I couldn't pay attention (I'm seeing a professional right now). Biology isn't my strength. Any tips?
>>16894659
You want us, people who have never been to your biology class, to give you tips on how to pass an exam in said biology class which you haven't studied for.
This is /adv/ kid, not /doimpossibleshit/
Fucking study, I don't know, what do you want us to tell you?
>>16894666
I just wanted general advice on studying with a short period of time and taking exams when you know shit all because you've been feeling shit all term.
Okay you're asking for it.
Anyway, uh, start reading the lessons on your own time? Ask the teacher for help with what you cant teach yourself, playing dumb like you didn't understand when he already taught it?
I did a few big lines of pretty high purity coke, if I do some speed after is it dangerous? Can't find anything conclusive.
You can't find anything constructive because that's an idea for fucking burnouts. Where is the money in "meth and coke at the same time" research? How is one at a time not enough? If you are done with the coke, rest, and do the speed later.
>>16894628
>if I do some speed after is it dangerous?
You're asking us if doing speedballs is dangerous.
Seriously?
You're too stupid to survive. Go for it. If the irresponsible drug use doesn't do you in wandering into traffic to chase something shiny or staring at the sun too long will.
>>16894645
speedballs is coke and an opiate, not coke and speed.
I like this girl but i dont know what to do, we went iceskating last weekend and she said to one of my friends she noticed i got a lot better, also how would i find out she likes me?
>>16894609
well what she said maybe a compliment or she has taken an interest in you since she has noticed that you got a lot better. if you want to find out anon just notice how she reacts to you when you talk with her or you could actually ask her yourself but that might end up bad for you if she doesn't like you but hey that's just my opinion that will maybe try to help you on what to do about it but it all depends on you
There's a site that is quite popular among the teenage community, and it mirai.com. This may sound ridiculous, but it is basically a ripped off version of a children Disney game clubpenguin.com, despite how innocent it may sound it is not only violating copyright laws but it is also putting teens at risked, there's constant cyber bullying and the people that are supposedly monitoring the behaviour are certainly not doing their job correctly.
If you're capable of taking down this website, or know anyone that could please do so.
I would appreciate it immensely.
>>16894595
We're not your personal army and you're certainly not going to find help in taking down something over a trivial situation. My guess is, you or someone you know got your poor little feelings hurt. If they can't take it, they need to log off.
Long story short, my ex and I still hang out, largely because we still have college classes together. She's met a new dude and when I learned that I immediately made sure it was okay her and I still hang out.
>I'm completely over her romantically, she's just a great friend
She says he knows about us, and that he's fine with us spending time together. But often when we hang out it goes way into the morning, like 4am plus, even though it's literally just us talking and listening to music.
What are the odds this dude starts to get jealous or something? I cherish our friendship but I don't want to fuck with her future.
Bros, if your girlfriend talked to her ex a lot, had classes with him, and stayed out with him about once a week until ~4am how would you feel?
>>16894591
>Bros, if your girlfriend talked to her ex a lot, had classes with him, and stayed out with him about once a week until ~4am how would you feel?
Most people, in general, would be very uncomfortable with that. I would immediately drop a guy if he was still that close with his ex-girlfriend. Because when you're in a new relationship, you don't automatically give your trust to someone. You build it up, mutually, over time and shared experiences. And it's a lot easier to run when red flags hit you in the face instead of investing yourself and learning the hard way.
How often do you guys get rejected by girls?
I'm really shy and insecure so I only ever get laid through occasional tinder matches, while travelling or if a girl is obviously hitting on me
I've never initiated flirting or "cold approached" or whatever and was curious what a "normal" rejection rate is
so /adv/ how often/how many times has a girl rejected you?
Rejection to me is like failing to learn a new skill.
Without rejection your approach would always be the same.
It happens to everyone. Learn body language and this rate will decrease.
Never.
[spoiler]Because I get rejected by other guys instead.[/spoiler]
Never. Because I am too chicken shit to ask in the first place. Don't be like me, op. Learn from my mistakes. It's not too late for you.
