I need to convince myself of an irrational belief, or else I'm going to eventually kill myself.

Specifically I need to convince myself that my tinnitus is a sign of my special purpose, that it is the sound of God.

Is it even possible to actually end up believing a belief you artificially created in order to help you

Should I repeat a mantra to myself for an hour every day? I'd try anything that isn't immoral, because the alternative is death.

Why kill yourself? Because tinnitus sucks? There is actually therapy that can help eliminate or lessen tinnitus, you should look into it.

Actually that therapy is more or less what OP is trying to achieve. "Reframing".

Hello Anon, i need /adv/ices about New York City and how to find fortune in it.
I live in Italy and i've decided to leave my country and try build a new life abroad. I don't find a job here and anyway its boring as hell.
- My budget is around 15000 euro (lifetime savings).
- I don't have any disability apart from a weak sight (cannot be fixed with glasses, laser or other tecniques)
- My grammar is shitty, but i'm fluent due to years spent talking with strangers online.
- I don't have any degree, never finished Uni
- I worked as a Journalist (sports and politics)
- I can cook and i can make pizza and cocktails (i have attempted courses for both)

Main issues
- i don't want to go alone and i don't find anyone who would like to join me in this adventure.
- i don't know shit about how to make it in Murrica.
- i don't have any relative/friend there

Do you have any tips? It is New York the best place to find a job? I thought about it because also there's a huge Italian community.
Which kind of entry level jobs i could find once there? What's the average wage?

Also, any kind of info about New York or other places in America good or better than that are very welcome.

Do a little research.

You can't just move to the USA, get a job and live happily ever after.

The only way you can get into the US is with a tourist visa, which has a time limit and absolutely forbids you from working.

The only way you can work in the US is with a work visa, but you have to have a US employer fill out the forms guaranteeing you the job and convincing the US officials you're not stealing the job from a citizen - and this all has to be done BEFORE you come to the US.

Go for australia, you are not equipped to NY.
>>
Think of this as being like jumping into a pool. The midwest is the 3ft section. Everyone welcome. The South is the 5 ft depth. So long as you're okay up to your shoulders, you'll do alright. The west Coast and most of the north east too is the 9 feet. You can drown there, but hopefully a lifeguard gets to you first.

NY is the piranha infested 20 ft deep murky swamp next door. Not only can you drown immediately, there's predators who will eat you alive as you do. There's a million homeless people, everything smells like piss and no one gives a shit if you're going down.

Honestly, take your money and buy a modest house outside of a Midwestern city if you must come here. 15k Euros won't get you very far in NY, but it's a good (decent) start anywhere else.

Dude you just do your job

Ask other people that know more than you before your boss.

Don't fuck around.

If he's still bitching let him just get your paycheck and apply at another place.

Some bosses are just dicks cause their life is apparently hard.

>>16890762
As someone who occasionally had to deal with employee's that slack off and think they can skate.

Not much you can do.

You've probably cemented yourself as a shit tier employee.

If i'm your boss, I'm going to watch you for a while and start giving you less and less hours or else start keeping tabs 'til you fuck up too much and I just decide you're not worth it and fire you.

Too many people nowadays, especially young ones, feel like they can jerk off on Facebook and get paid instead of actually working.

If you want better luck at your next job, ask questions, work, and don't be an asshole who just sits around doing nothing because he thinks there's nothing to do. Be proactive.

does anyone else have this feeling, the feeling like the whole world and everyone in it, is a big club house, and your the only one not in the club?

I feel so disfranchised, like I don't belong anywhere. Maybe it could be where I live or who I am. I tried making myself look and feel more "white" but I seem to only be getting it wrong, and turn to plotting my own death and demise.

Why can't I shake this feeling. like i'm not apart of the world, Im just looking into it. like a satellite.

It happens. I'd say the world is more like a lot of small club houses, and you only have to get into one of them to belong somewhere. With 7 billion people in the world, there should be plenty of people like you. The problem is finding them.

Look for chances to chat with people at school or work. Go to events or do some kind of group activity that looks interesting, and you'll at least have that in common with the people there. It probably won't go well for a while, but it'll get better if you keep trying.

If you want to read about characters going through the same kind of thing there's The Stranger and No Longer Human.

Hi !
>be me
>student
>sometimes we have IT projects to do
>As far back as I can remember I always did the coding 100% by myself even if I was forced in a group
>didn't go to uni in a while
>learn we have 2 different projects to do
>this chinese weeaboo insist to work with me on both projets and message me on fb
>I say yes but I tell her I always do the coding myself
>she says she want to work and it's mean but I didn't get if it was for me or for her as she doesn't speak french very well
>I ask her what she meant by this
>she didn't get my ansew so I loose patience and tell her yes we can work together on both projets
Now I feel fucked I'd like her to give me the subjects but I don't want her anywhere my code as she's only beginning and doesn't know shit about what we do. She says she will make efforts but I'm in a difficult situation where I'd like to release some stress by securing good grades in CE and be cool if any failure happens.
Also I already have been grouped multiple times with her in Practicing Sessions so she got that I'm confortable with the languages and platforms we use and I saw that she was often lost and sometimes even suggested non-sense codes or command-lines.
I'd like to be nice and work with her but t.b.h. I fear I will lost a shitload of time by trying to make her do something Ok. Maybe I can ask her to do the makefile... Or simply letting empty function in my code for her to complete... What do you Anons think ? What would you do ?

Hey /adv/. My brothers girlfriend seems to always ask me if im dating anyone or if i want her to hook me up with someone everytime i see her. Its a short conversation that happens every few weeks when i see my bro and his girlfriend. We hangout and when i go to leave she seems to always ask me if i want her to hook me up with someone. Its somewhat annoying. I refuse and leave everytime. Honestly im not in a place right now that i want a girlfriend i just wouldnt have the time to treat her right. Im dealing with my personality issues( i have ocd but i never told anyone.) and am trying to become the best version of myself with diet and exercise. I feel like a girl would just complicate everything more and might make it all 10 times harder. Idk im probably over thinking this alot. Anyway another big concern is if i did go out with whoever this girl is we wouldnt have anything in common. It would turn out horrible and i would probably take a hit to the confidence i have worked so hard to build. What do you guys think should i go for it or not? I literally know nothing of this girl idk if there is multiple girls or what i have no idea. Also to make it completley clear my guts telling me not to do it.

if you dont want to deal with women, then dont. it's not crazy what you're saying.

however if this is just some shy bullshit way of allowing yourself to never feel vulnerable by making excuses, you should probably change that otherwise youre in for a very sad life

You have a somewhat autistic view of relationships. It's ok, it's what everyone grows up thinking.
People are interesting. A friend is someone who shows you stuff. Music, hobbies, activities, bars... A girlfriend is a kind of friend. She isn't there for you to treat right or to have sex with. She is there to teach you what she knows meanwhile you teach her what you know. Don't undervalue that just because you are busy exercicing. Meeting new people is always a good experiment. It might work out, it might not. Worst case scenario: it goes nowhere. Best case scenario: it changes how you view the world.

If you are fine where you are right now, its alright but IMHO you should always try for more.

>>16890654
I dont think it is. I really just am dealing with shit and dont think i could be in a relationship with someone and actaully be a good partner to them the way i am now.

How do people make it as neets?
I have no skills that could be used for a job, i hate speaking/the sound of my voice and i have no connections. I don't want to be wageslave i really don't but i'm afraid once my mother dies i'll end up a homeless retard. How do i avoid that? It seems like it's unavoidable.I don't see my life getting better, i cannot function at the capacity of a normal person, my time's running out. I need help.

See if you can get a doc to diagnose you as an actual autist, and then see if you can find programs meant to help mentally-disabled people. My local grocery market seems to hire disabled people specifically, and my cousin who has severe mental disabilities has an easier time finding jobs than I do.

How do I tell for sure if I have one of these? Basically overnight there's this pinching sensation just inside my asscrack. I feel it when I spread my cheeks, touch it etc. There's no swelling or pus or anything, yet. The area is also pink colored. But I don't fucking want one of those cyst things considering I'm actually healthy and don't sit around all day like some NEET. Will this go away on it's own as long as it doesn't get worse?

How do you know you will be good at learning languages before trying it when you're an adult?
Pic unrelated

>>16890533
Actually it'll be harder to learn a new language as an adult unless you already speak one!
Something to do with your brain development and how kids are better at learning new sounds.
My advice: You wanna learn french? Take some basic courses, get a handle on the basics. Then move to france and speak it every fucking day. Immerse yourself in that shit. You'll get there and it'll be a good experience.

What do people think about relationships where the couple have opposite personalities, but similar interests?

I'm in that situation right now and wondering how it has worked out for others.
4 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
it only works if you force your personality and don't let her change you.
>>
There's a difference between opposite personalities, and complementary personalities. The latter can work, and often does. The former is usually a recipe for disaster, at least in the long run. "Opposites attract" is not reflective of actual, lasting relationships.

google 16personalities

my grill and i are opposites and we're together for more than a decade. No struggle.

communication is important.

Slacks, a button down, some nice shoes.
It's a fucking call center. Don't wear a suit. Dress how you would dress for work.
Just make sure you shower, wash, get a hair cut, shave, wear clean clothes, brush floss and mouthwash.
Smell good, be clean, haircut, and just dress how you would day to day at the job.
>>
Button up shirt (tucked in, leave the top button undone) and pants that aren't jeans or chinos in obnoxious colours. Dress shoes. Belt, preferably one in the same colour as your shoes. Clean-shaven or neatly groomed facial hair, no stubble.

I have crowded teeth, similar to the ones in the pic, except my two lateral incisors, one on the top and other on the bottom, are pushed in a bit more, fairly "deeply".

I'm in my mid 20s, basically a shut-in, though I make a few hundred bucks a month from online transcribing, but no job with good insurance for me to be able to get braces.

What's the fastest route to getting some on? How long do you reckon I would need to keep them on for?

At least 2 years.

Heheh, and where did I say I blamed my life problems on my teeth? Having shitty teeth is just another small side effect of all the other problems I have/had which may or may not be my fault, certainly not the source of my problems, although they do make me more unexpressive and self-conscious, which definitely doesn't help in social settings. :[

I started talking to a girl online, shes pretty niave and seems to want my attention. shes kinda dodgy on sending nudes but really I want something more.

I want her to give up her soul to me so I can crush her body with sex and make her fuck all of my friends too, how do you manipulate someone like this? should I just pretend I "love" her and bait and switch or just be kind of cold the whole time and condition her to be a slut by rewarding that... Thank you /adv/

>>16890499
>>16890499
You're a fucking asshole
However, so am I so let me enlighten you.
The best way to do it desu is to try and take advantage of her emotions. Make her love you a lot and get your friends to talk to her as well. Invite her into your 'posse'. After you've had enough fun with the goods you need to break up with her and try to destroy her emotionally in doing so. The more she cares about you the easier this will be. Then your friend just needs to be there for her and pick up the pieces. If they invest time, he can get close and probably into a relationship eventually. DON'T leak her nudes to your friends or that will end badly for your little game.
Good luck op,
enjoy the pussy.

I feel like we hit it off pretty well but she's probably like 2 years older than me and I'm just a freshman in uni. Would it be weird for me to try and talk to her some more?

It's not weird so far so why would it be more weird?
Unless you make a move and she has a BF that is...

Try to inject some comedy into asking her out for a drink and see what happens. If she says she has a BF, you say, 'That's okay, you bring your BF... I was thinking of bringing my Mum anyway..

That way the potential weirdness is masked by humor. And she'll probably still like you.
