What the fuck to do in this life?
18 yo guy, good looks, 5.0 gpa starting premed this year.
Inside I just feel emptiness and weariness. I can't be happy from anything, I just feel complete lack of motivation. Money and status doesn't motivate me, the most I feel towards girls is indifference, I don't feel I can trust my friends I just feel aimless, sad, annoyed, and without purpose.
Tell me /adv/ what to do in this life?
You might find the fulfilment you're looking for by getting out of the academic education rat race and taking on a more friendly career working with your hands, in a field like carpentry. When you can take pride in the results of a job well done, you'll have a warmer outlook on life.

This is part of life OP. You'll have some lows but as you get over them more and more you'll become a stronger happier person. What you are feeling is normal.
Congratulations on doing so well in school. My biggest tip would be to try to find was to enjoy what you are studying. If you are in stem then read or watch related things outside of school that are interesting and inspire you. Chemistry is pretty cool, physics is pretty cool, biology and math are pretty cool...there's got to be something in there that gets you up every morning excited to learn.

>premed
Get a real fucking major
I need to write a speech about my pet peeve. Any suggestions?
I was thinking about the jews, but I don't know, might be a little too edgy.
Make it something to do with driving, or carpentry. People get really pissed off at other people's driving.
>And, indeed, other peoples driving. Fucking Asians behind the wheel...
>>16799118
Carpentry? What's there to hate about carpentry?
>>16799101
Take it to class with you.
"This is my pet, Peeve. He's been with me for $(PET_DUR). We have grown close in the past few weeks, so much that I was happy I had to give this speech about him/her. [...]"

Not your personal army, moron.
>Wow, I only just managed to get INB4

Your life is fucking pathetic holy shit
ive been talking to a girl for 2 weeks and i cant rly tell if she likes me because its fucking hard.
Ask her on a date.
>>16799109
this. no reason not to
>>16799112
Not OP, but... I can think of a pretty good reason.
You don't want to make things awkward. I'm constantly in this position, and I don't want asking someone on a date to mess up a friendship. If I can't date them, I still want to be in contact with them. I only ever ask someone out if I for sure know that they are interested in me, which has only allowed me to actually pursue two girls even though I'm 19. Besides that, I'm a pussy and fuck things up with being too scared to actually try to make even the smallest of moves. It took a lot of courage to even attempt to hold hands with a gril. I always say to myself I won't fuck up like that again, but it's way easier to say that I won't do it than to actually not do it.
>19 in college
>little brother is 15
>go home
>little brother's room reeks of weed
I havent had any freinds or anything in a long time so I have no experience with this. Worse i've been posting on 4chan for years so my worldview is super warped (spent the superbowl looking for subtle anti-white messages in the ads, found some too) but ultimately I know nothing about drugs outside of alchohol.
Is it really that bad that he smokes weed? Is the normalization of weed something worthless stoners push to make themselves feel better? Or is it really okay to smoke weed time and again?
His grades seem fine. He's playing football. He has freinds. But it makes me super nervous he's doing drugs in his fucking room. He listens to rap too.
What the hell should I do?
>spent the superbowl looking for subtle anti-white messages in the ads, found some too
kek
Anyway, no, it's ok OP. Just make sure it's only weed.
>he listens to rap too
This is irrelevant.
As far as his health goes, its really not that bad. Unless he's doing it excessively like every day. It can become a mental addiction. Some people forget how to cope with things and become dependent on it. But that's fairly rare.
You really should be worried about the legal trouble he can get into. Assuming it's illegal wherever you live.
>>16799085
Tell your parents. 15 is young for smoking, you don't want him to become a burnout. His brain is still developing and it can have an averse effect on him neurologically. Idc if adults smoke weed but substances are dangerous for children.

You need to get into a sector that provides not only good money, but also a pleasant working environment and a sense of fulfilment in a job well done - something like carpentry for instance.

>The norm here is 0800 to 1800
Tell me more, anon.
9 to 5 is the ideal time. You think split shifts, night shifts, early morning shifts are better?
I score far above average on IQ tests compared to my peers, yet I feel dumber than most people because of how many stupid things I do and how many mistakes I make by just having my mind in other places.
Am I missing something or i just everyone not as smart as I might think sometimes?
Or is intelligence something that also fluctulates alot?
Some opinions on this would be appriciated, because I know we all think that were smarter than average, while we obviously cant be, which is of course our flawed perception and fallacies but I had some form of proof, multiple tests.
IQ is a poor measure of intelligence, it really only tests one limited subset of it.
Ultimately who gives a fuck.
>>16799083
they say the deepest flaw with IQ is that it only gauges your ability to learn. the test doesn't expect an inherent knowledge, rather a way to take knowledge and use it as requested.
you have to remember that common sense, human interaction, and many other things arent IQ worthy.
if you sit there and study history every day, you are going to know a lot about history. but if you've never been to a bank, you're not going to know how an interest rate works or how to write a check or what have you.
I'm german high school student about to graduate. Should I study engineering or physics? I think I'd rather do the latter, but I'm worried about my future. How are the job prospects?
Any europeans here?
jup, austrian here. I think engineering has more job offers. It depends on what you want to do later and what you are interested in
Germany is overrun with graduate engineers and physicists looking for work. Get into a field with serious job demand, like carpentry.
>>16799094
and engineers get paid better if you make difficult things like hearing aid devices. I know someone....
If only there were some way for men with average sized penises to attract members of the opposite sex.
>>16799018
but there isnt
>>16799022
Then I guess those of us in relationships are really just lying on the internet to build up our anonymous reputation.
Is there a way to counter someone when they make fun of you or try to put you down without sounding dumb? I usually laugh awkwardly or don't say anything but I feel I could be better and wittier
This is usually how sarcasm comes into conversation.
>>16798992
Yeah, there's a few.
>>16798992
yes, by countering them in a smart way. it requires whit. not everyone has it.
so you might need to sit down and think out something clever about that person that can be used. whats their flaw? whats their weakness?
girl i know used to be a horrifying twat. she stopped when i said 'thank god you miscarried, your kid would be miserable'.
Whiny teenager here.
I have this feeling that my life is in a warm, uncomfortable position, I'm not miserable but I'm not happy either, I'm in some dull place in the middle. I see all the hobbies I had as plain boring and I think TV shows and videogames have lost their joke and became predictable, just as most of my friends
I know the most effective way to get out of this situation is to wait until I become an adult and get my shit together, but I also think I'm letting an important time of my life slip away
I also think the best way I have to get out of the routine is to get a girlfriend or something, but I'm a 0/10 if I don't consider a slightly above average intelligence for my age and that I treat people well
>>16798981
It seems like you need to experience true pain
>>16799021
Holy shit anon
>>16799021
Hahaha I won't try anything until I'm in my mid-twenties, when it's more likely that I'm clear-headed and I'm sure I'm a screwup
I just got done sabotaging my life. I canceled three job interviews I had this week (to be fair, one of them was for a position I did not even apply for and I was grossly underqualified anyway), and turned down the one job offer I got.
This is because I am having a particularly bad depressive episode today, and now I despise myself even more. I already go to college, and the thought of adding a job on top of that filled me with so much dread and anger I felt trapped. What makes me feel even worse is I know working and going to school at the same time is pretty much required in this modern age. It further made me feel like I have no control of my life and I can only do certain "appropriate" things on 1 linear path.
What do I do? I don't think this is healthy.
Stop trying to please mommy/daddy/grandma/grandpa/society/etc and just figure out what you're good at. It could be cleaning floors, it could be computer programming. Go do it. You're probably like 20, you're literally one of the most capable human beings on the planet right now.
>>16798973
How do I do that? Also
>you're literally one of the most capable human beings on the planet right now.
Kek. I have ADHD, depression, and probably autism.
>>16799049
Wah wah wah I have [insert one or more of the most commonly overdiagnosed "disorders" for millennials]. You don't have to tell me you're autistic when you're asking for this kind of advice on /adv/ and saying "kek". If you don't know what you're good at, no one else is going to tell you. It's entirely up to you. Figure it out instead of whining about being privileged enough to even be going to college or get job offers. Idiot.
How to stop someone from being doxxed? Someone is being doxxed on a social media site and the admins refuse to do anything to stop it. The doxxers know their name and where they live. What do /adv/?
Pic somewhat related.
>>16798943
Need more info about what is going on
>>16798943
What's the compromising information?
>>16798964
Ok. This guy has recently contacted me that someone is doxxing him. He has gone onto this social media site (it's not 4chan, but plebbit) and he has seen in the subreddit for his city that someone has taken his name and is pretending to be him. They have been making posts bringing up facts about him such as false rape allegations and whatnot. He's really scared and it is a pretty worrisome thing, don't you think? They also know all of his actual social media usernames. I'll update when I learn more.
>Be me at 17
>Have good friend in a circle of friends
>We find eachother cute and decide to turn it into a relationship
>We fuck, have that optimistic phase etc.
>Shes also fat and a 5/10, but I liked her personality at first and had low self-esteem.
>½ a year later I break up with her since I find her lazy, driven purely by emotion/impulse, and a massive burden.
>Be 19 now
>Studying Medicine
>Got /fit/ and go to the gym 3-5 times a week
>Already got a good job next to studying, and job prospects afterwards are incredibly good.
>Feeling pretty confident and good about myself and life
>Suddenly starts talking with me again a few days ago
>Said things like "Someone as charming and smart as you has to do well"
>Don't want to tell her to fuck off or come off as hostile and make it awkward whenever we will often be at the same parties
What do?
>>16798818
> Thanks, I appreciate it!
Cease contact afterwards. Giving her false hopes would be even worse than a straight fuckoff.
I was scammed and I need help to track the person down can u help me please I have there number if u would like.to.call said person they stole 300$ from me and I am not OK with that
>>16798794
I hate these threads about petty revenge. Call your bank or the police and actually do something, instead of submitting PA requests that are bound to get denied.
>>16798794
Pussy
Just report it to the police. It's not like you were buying drugs and he cheated you, right?
