Hey everyone,
So I am a student and I am currently fluent in 2 languages (English and French.) I am also studying Spanish and in less than 2 years I am near fluent thanks to my French. Starting around last September, I began studying Japanese by myself as there is no program in my school or anywhere near. I have not made much progress, but I know 1 of 3 alphabets and I am working on Vocabulary, phrases etc. I am also "involved" with a Korean girl and I have recently been watching lots of Korean TV. I have not started learning Korean whatsoever, but I wondering what I should study. I originally wanted to study Japanese due to the culture, women and a close friend of mine was also studying it (and still is.) Now that I have been introduced to Korean culture and language, I am at a crossroad. I am very good with languages so It may be possible to learn both Korean and Japanese, but considering the fact that I would have to use my own time, it would take a LONG time. I am currently considering a few options: 1. Drop Japanese for Korean and continue Spanish 2. Continue Spanish and Japanese and disregard Korean 3. Try to study all 3 4. Drop Spanish and Study Korean and Japanese. I am seriously confused on what to do and I would give anything for some advice. Thank you so much for reading till the end.

Korean is marginally easier to learn than Japanese (speaking from experience). You will have a better time with Korean until you get into the harder grammar/honorific systems. If the girl is your reason for studying Korean, ask her how she feels about you learning it and maybe helping you study sometime. If you do not know both phonetic alphabets for Japanese, what are you doing. It takes a week, tops, of flashcard use to pick up both alphabets. If you've been studying for like 6 months, you should be trying to pick up some kanji by now. At this point, if doing Korean will further your relationship with this girl and you don't have any strong attachment to Japanese, why not just switch to Korean.
Spanish is a language with high utility. I would recommend finishing out studying Spanish to whatever level you are comfortable with before picking up the second Asian language.

I want to ask this girl to a school dance and then hook up with her at the after party, but she doesn't drink. Should I still try to go through with this? Could I still drink, or is it best if I don't because it could make her uncomfortable.

Don't plan sex.
Don't plan the evening.
Just ask her off the cuff if she wants to go to it, like its no big deal.
If she says no, its fine.
See where the night takes you.
Drink if you feel like drinking.
tl;dr Do what you want to do.

I'm camping this weekend in a tent. The forecast is a high of -18 and a low of -25, no snow though.
I know all the basic tips for keeping warm like pee before going to bed, wear lots of layers and eat hot sugary foods.
Any extra tips for a comfortable sleep and avoiding hypothermia?

Put a rock in the fire to get hot, then wrap it in something and put at bottom near your feet in your sleeping bag .
>>
Put lots of layers beneath you as well in your bedding. If it's around and can be laid flat, put it under you. Everything that separates you from the ground is a plus.
Also be careful about moisture. There's bound to be condensation in the tent from your breath alone, but make sure the sides of the tent aren't sloping down toward your bedding. You don't want to get wet because you really can't afford to take stuff off.

northern cree who had trapper parents
--
if you have a wood stove in your tent
cut down a 10 to 12 foot skraggy pine - skraggy, deader the better
dont cut any branches and do not cut into sections
just drag the tree near the front of your tent with base near the entrance
sleep near the stove with a small axe
in the morning - just reach out grab the tree, drag part of it in, break off the branches use for kindling
cut into log lengths as you move it in
use smaller pieces to start fire
use large pieces to get fire going
by the time the tree is all used up and burnt, you are ready to start your morning

this is how most trappers went to bed at minus 40 and 50

My groin area does itch a little if she's on top due to fluids leaking out + friction. Shower or clean yourself well with a towel afterwards.
why are cynical and nihilistic thoughts always associated with teenagers? i understand the whole "teenage angst" thing, but why are these not legitimate gripes to have with the world? why are they looked at as juvenile?

Because you get over them and get on with life. Thinking everything is perfect and meaningful is childish. Being disappointed that it isn't is just the next step.
>>
Because teenagers haven't developed enough to fully grasp their surroundings. They have a different mentality that makes it hard to see the big picture and so they tend to focus on the bad rather than see the bad and good.
We grow out of that though and learn to appreciate the world more fully. So it's rare and usually indicative of something more serious when fully developed adult sees the world as a teenager does.

I've tried to see a more optimistic view on life, but I cant shake truths for lies.

Sometimes I get to thinking about something wasted - like a video game I got and never really played, some food I let go bad and had to throw away, clothes I bought and didnt wear. I even got hair extensions once and hated them and took them out right away.
It hurts me deeply and makes me feel like a horrible person.
Do others feel this way?

Others with OCD feel this way.
So i don't know if there was anyone remember it but I posted like 2 threads about how to get the guy I like,made some moves. This is the newest update and I think it's gonna be the last.
>Went to his apartment for party with others.
>I couldn't make it so i got there a bit late.
>There was zero moment between us because he was so busy with cooking and talking and drinking. There was a time his face really red when he sat next to this female friend,people keeps making fun on him about it.
>Afterwards we played Truth and Dare.
>He seemed really into it. Keeps praying for the bottle to points direct to me.
>Asked if the guy I like were in our group. Asked the letter of his name since I said I won't reveal it.
>His turn,I asked the same,he said yes,the girl he likes is in our group,he likes all the girls in our group (there were 4 girls). I asked the letter in her name,he seemes confusing then say something like even my name have this letter. My name was a bit unique,not a lot a girl have this letter and specially in our group,it's an a.
>Whenever the bottle pointed to me he keeps asking those kinda question like when was my first kiss,my first time have sex something.
>After the game he seemed really happy even other friends questioned about it. Then they made fun on him that because of a lot of girls in the house made him happy.
>On the way home one of my male friends asked me if the guy i liked was this guy. I said no. I don't want to date my male friends because if it's not work out our group will be destroyed.
>Fuck me right. I know.
>But strangely at that moment I'm not sad at all. Just feeling like I finally can let things go.
>I don't know if I'm gonna be sad by tomorrow. By now I'm feeling a bit blue cause I figured it out he didn't interested in me. Well yes,i did like him that much. Then bumm.
I think that keeping this friendship is better than take a risk that i can destroy it.

Sounds like you already decided, why do you need advice?
>>
Your moves to get a guy involve insulting him by turning up late when he's going to the effort of cooking for you and your friends, then dropping very veiled hints that you like him, then stating outright that the guy your into is actually someone else, but otherwise communicating in a complex code that each member of the group is making up independently and potentially with diametrically opposite meanings, based on a children's game?
Doomsday hypotheses were clearly too optimistic. This is the end of the human race, as people encrypt their flirtation so securely that no romance becomes possible.

I've been having this problem for a long time.
I'm a relatively attractive man. Enough so that I'll occasionally get approached by attractive women. Being an introvert I would say that in the vast majority of encounters I'm the one being approached. If I'm not too awkward about it then I get a chance to take her home.
But the big problem is in the bedroom.
I can't get it up.
It's been like this for years and it seems to be only getting worse. At this point I never ever find myself getting an erection when there are any other people around. When a girl tries to have sex with me it's always very embarrassing and I have to come up with excuses to stop seeing them. Since I have no chance of having a healthy relationship, I've retreated further from people and become increasingly depressed, but I still sometimes meet pretty girls that I just can't say no to and every time it ends in failure it just adds to my anxiety and self-loathing.
People would probably assume at that point that I'm gay (lots of girls do after they're disappointed) but I'm not. I was desperate enough to "try" guys last year and it was awful.
Recently the universe seems to want to push me even further; I finally got a decent paying job, but as a DJ at a strip club. I've already been approached by several girls there and it's obvious where things are headed.
I don't know what to do. I'm not even sure why it happens. I can get a boner and fap fine when I'm alone, with or without porn. But if I'm not alone it just doesn't happen. I get social anxiety and it's particularly bad around women, especially when they flirt. I don't have a doctor or medical insurance and haven't for a few years so I don't know if I "really" have social anxiety, but I can't really think of anything else that fits.
What can I do? I'm desperate, /adv/. I feel like this problem is ruining my life.

Hers. A few years ago I would say mine or both but at this point I'm just desperately trying to pleasure the girl to make up for my impotence. It never works though. They always expect dick in the end

How do I fix knowing how to act around others at all?
I have ADHD, aspergers, clinical depression, generalized anxiety and a panic disorder, sadly, all officially diagnosed. I have been bullied in all my years in school (quit 1 year ago) and emotionally abused at home for another 6. I basically don't feel like an equal human being most of the time. I think all of these things are making it very hard for me to socialize, and I often avoid social interaction.
I never really know how to act in social situations, other than stupid small talks and making uninspired unfunny jokes. I have the very social basics down, such as making eye contact, proper posture & body language, knowing social borders, awareness of surrounding, etc. But I can't seem to click with anyone ever. I currently hang with a bunch of social rejects (the kind everyone would avoid - bronies, furries, socially incompetent geeks, weeaboos, generic losers) because we have games, series, movies and occasionally some flat out geek tabletop/board games. That doesn't require any social interaction. Take that away, and I practically fall on my face in any social situation. And even with these distractions, I am uninteresting most of the time, but that seems to be fine amongst the people I hang with. But here's the worst part: I don't even enjoy hanging with them. I'm often told I'm an alright guy, but no one even bothers to maintain contact with. And after a long period of not being so disappointed I stopped talking to everyone, I have even forgotten how to start a conversation and keep it going. It's so bad that depression seems to be creeping in from all sides. I want to become a better guy before the depression takes away the will to, because it all feels like one big downward spiral.
What do I do? Am I a lost cause? Please help me /adv/, tell me what I can do. I am desperate at this point and don't want to live my life this way. I need a way out.

I know for a fact that ADHD isn't that impactfulon adulthood than in childhood, don't worry about it.
as for clinical depression, generalized anxiety and you panic disorder, I guess it all start from the same source, and you might have hit the nerve when you speak about your emotionally abuse.
I can't find you the proper answer for you, just hang in there. Don't see yourself as doomed, you're far from it, I'm not going into that cliché speech that's not the point. Just avoid thinking that these are stable condition that will stay your own life.
I don't know how do you live, do you have enough free time to do some exercices, or maybe learn something from books ? My point is that you're getting depressed over the fact that you're depressed, there is not exit for that. Get out of your vicious cycle. You can do anything you want to. Try studies you might enjoy, philosophical, psychological ( worked for me, I love myself here because I enjoy thinking about that)
However you seem quite intelligent, for your own good, you seem to overthink the basic principle of social interaction, take it lightly, it's only a funny moment to enjoy when trying to speak to someone. Shyness, when it's coming from the lack of experience or the fear of abuse toward you is overdone, try to get over it and push yourself a little, try yourself in a place where you don't know nobody, be polite, be funny, don't hesitate to act a little confident because "true" confidence don't come, at least not until you've faked some.
As long as you're not a creepy dude, breaking loose, nobody will blame you for the mistakes you will do, just act natural, not yet relaxed I don't believe you can do that you are overthinking it, but still try to be natural to others.
Maybe if you really scared about it, read a few books about it. I don't believe they're better than your own experience, but it might get you a little confident about it.
Enjoy life, as it is the most beautiful thing ever Anon.

Okay, so I'm a massive autist but I wanted to get a valentines day gift for this girl I know, or at least consider it. She's the only girl that has ever listened to me out of pity but I figured fuck it why not. Even if she never talks to me again, I tried.
She's a chem student I've known her for a bit but some of the old times we've talked are lost on me. She likes the heat and city scapes, fan of 80's music right now, hard to tease though.
Literally no fucking idea what to give her and I've known her for like two years now. Another problem being I had a memory problem so yeah. I feel good around her. She really likes going to the zoo though.

Just get her a cheap necklace or wristband.
I don't know her style so it's up to you bro. Usually you want to show that you seem to know or have observed her personal taste.

Just get her a generic teddy bear. If you make it too special and personal you might come off as desperate or creepy.

Alright guys, here's the ordeal.
>19 years old
>Still living with parents
>Going to community college
>I fucking hate school and hate spending time there.
>Can't do shit about because parents want me to be "Something" in life
>I have a hard time with classes, this is my second semester and I'm already falling behind one class
>I want to quit
>I work at a Menards in the electrical department in Illinois
>Turns out my family wants to move to Florida, to some suburb near miami.
So, I've always heard that becoming a deputy is simple and you don't need any college education.
So, here are my questions, and I really need the answers and all the info I can get. I tried googling shit, but the results always comeback to businesses and office jobs. I prefer doing hard-work for a decent wage and I don't mind it. I actually enjoy it. But school is a torture especially when I work over 50 hours a week.
1. Is it as simple as to go inside a county police department and ask about wanting to be a deputy or police officer? The training, and the exams are the least of my worries. I'm really interested if they'll place me in training to see if I can pass it through.
2. Is college needed to the point that you won't get the job if you do not have at least an associates?
3. After a specific amount of time, could one transfer to the city police department?
4. Will I actually be doing field work?
