How do I get rid of this mean bastard fish?
Put a mirror in front of it.
My friend hates me for my easy life. She has a hard one, and while we get along well I get the feeling she holds it against me.
I'm a guy in my early twenties and:
>"fulltime" education+study time is less than 10 hours a week, and even then I don't need it.
>expenses are near-zero and don't even cover a third of the welfare/loan I get monthly
>don't work because nobody wants my (lack of) job experience, and I'm only casually jobhunting because of that+no financial need to
>live with doting parents as a happy family. I'd do anything for them and actually do spend most of my free time helping around. They do the same for me, covering most of my administration and expenses, and even giving me an allowance on top of what I already have. Telling them they're being too kind and I should be responsible and independent myself someday doesn't work; they insist on it until I sort my studies out
>perfect sight, perfect metabolism, perfect physique (lots of time to train). The only mental things troubling me are somewhat subpar social skills and a distinct lack of humbleness
Meanwhile, she's the same age and:
>spends 40 hours at her education and another ton of hours studying, frequently forced to pull allnighters on regular days because she doesn't make it otherwise
>has a lot of expenses just to survive, most of which is held back from her for some reason
>can't work because she doesn't have the time or permission
>lives in a special home with restrictions and curfews, with housemates who hate her and caretakers who play her
>is completely booked all the times, has all kinds of appointments one half of the day and studies the other half
>has all kinds of disabilities, mental and physical. She's cute, but slow and socially not too strong either
She doesn't know all of these, but enough to put me down for them continuously. I like her, but I have no idea what to do about this. It's not like I can help it, right? What should I do to make her less bitter or me less spoiled?

>Humblebrag: the thread
Kindly fuck off.
>>16758385
Case in point. The only reason I'm "humblebragging" here is to illustrate my situation.
I normally don't brag at all. Sometimes people ask about my life. If I tell them, they see how "easy" it is and stop taking me seriously. If I avoid talking about it, they take the hint as me subtly telling them to piss off.
Hell, even when I want to know how to make my life less "humblebraggy" wothout destroying it, this asshole just tells me to fuck off.
>>16758436
You haven't fucked off yet. Please rectify that immediately.

I've always been kind of depressed, it's been a part of my personality ever since I was I child, but for the last half a year I've been feeling numb. Last summer, the girl I loved to pieces got hooked on heroin so I had to leave her, and it hurt me a lot. Ever since I haven't been able to quite feel 'right', I feel like I just slide down the existence and watch my body do everything on autopilot (including writing this post).
For the last month or two, I've been feeling an increasing lack of energy and motivation. I stopped lifting because of sickness, and I can't get myself to go to the gym again. I don't want to study, I don't want to finish school, I don't want to do anything except rail speed and smoke weed. I feel like an empty shell that is only seeking pleasure... Which I can only get from drugs. There is nothing else in this world for me... The whole planet is blank.
My question is - is this a good enough reason to seek help from a therapist? I always feel as if I'm just a whiny bitch who can do everything but chooses not to because - well, because I'm a whiny bitch. I don't deserve to have therapist waste their time with my pitiful problems.
>inb4 posting on mongolian sheep dressing forum about mental problems
What is your opinion on this?
>>16758321
>well, because I'm a whiny bitch.
Sorry to hear about your gf anon. Cheer up, you cant get it right every time.
Depression really is a harsh mistress, youre not always aware its affecting you, and sometimes your mind tries to find logic in a place without logic.
I believe you should go see a therapist. The reason beeing is that you indeed seem to be depressed. If the problem was just that you whine a lot, you wouldnt really be aware of the problem. Being honest with yourself is hard, and your mind actively tries to find answers to a question that you dont want the answer to. Nobody wants to be depressed.
Now what can you do about it except going to se a therapist? Talk to friends. Your closest ones. The ones you can feel comfortable being yourself around. Tell them your having a rough patch. If theyre your friends they will sit down and listen. Many dont have that luxery, and come here instead.
Accepting that you have a problem is the first step of solving it. Saying it to a friend or therapist is all about opening the courtains and exposing your true self. I know it sounds scary but if you dont do it youll just beat yourself up more.
Is it wrong to not want to have children?
Is it wrong to not want to get married?
Pic semi related, though a lot of what he said is mostly PUA bullshit in disguise.
No. Realize as you age your opinions and outlook may change however.

>Is it wrong to not want to have children?
>Is it wrong to not want to get married?
No, but it IS wrong to expect others to be your enablers in this.
>>16758310
>Is it wrong to not want to have children?
>Is it wrong to not want to get married?
No. It's wrong to bring children into this world. Intelligent people realize this. But if intelligent people stop breeding, morons will breed intelligent people into oblivion.

This is the only post you will read in this thread. Put on your running shoes, go outside and run. By the time you reach the end of your block you will have energy.

Hi /adv/,
Anyone ever searched out for their estranged father / mother after not having seen them since childhood / their entire lives?
I'm a 26 year-old guy who's had a pretty fortunate life. I, along with my fraternal twin brother, were raised by a single mother. 'Never' met is technically incorrect, since I know my father was around when I was very young (around 2-3), but my mother made the decision to seek a better life outside my home country (years ago she explained that he didn't want to be married and that he was younger than her and hadn't fully grasped that he had 2 sons) - and she did.
We've lived all around the world, I never lacked anything I wanted.
I'm in grad school to be an architect now, and I'm generally content with how my life is turning out.
But something keeps pulling me back to the fact that I've never known my father, and the curiosity took hold.
I dug out my birth certificate, searched for his full name, and the only results end up with a man that still lives and works in the city I was born in (found Facebook, LinkedIn, and several other websites with profiles of this man, along with pictures). I bear a striking resemblance to my mother, and my brother looks very different to me (darker skin tone, longer face) - and the man that I found, in certain pictures I've found online, has a passing resemblance to my brother. Certainly in the shade of his skin, as well as some features.
Part of me wants this for me. Part of me wants to share who I am and what I've made of myself to him.
Another part of me realizes that this man has his own family, with a wife and daughter (again, I came to this conclusion from pictures I saw) - and perhaps I will only end up finding nothing of value in the end.
Have low expectations.
I'm only 5'2 1/2-5'3, and a guy. I'm thinking about getting that surgery where they break your bones to make you taller.
Should I go for it?
>>16758268
why not just get swole as fuck and get a good career? Shorter people get faster gains.
Expensive, painful, going to cripple you for months and you're still going to be short.
If you could go from 5'2 to 5'10 then it would be worth it, but 5'2 to 5'5 is not worth it.
>>16758268
not worth it, anon.
What are some good questions to ask a girl in a gane called 20 questions ?
>>16758255
Did you enjoy sucking my dick?
After I fucked you, did you take your plan b pill?
Did your legs stop shaking after I gave you that third orgasm?
Will you go home and schlick to the video of our fuck session?
http://www.willyoupressthebutton.com/
Memorize these questions, or both of you read the questions on your phone.
"If you could get a million dollars for every second you left a baby in the microwave, how long would you put it in?"
I just can't do it /adv/. I can't feel how women feel about me. At least in a romantic sense. I feel as if I am never supposed to do shit without asking first.
For example, I would never attempt to hold a womans hand without asking first. Kissing a woman without asking its like... ALIEN to me. does that even happen?
Why are women turned off by men asking them to do stuff? I feel way more comfortable asking.
I went on a date the other day with a woman who I thought friend zoned me. I would love to try and hold her hand but I honest to god cannot read her romantically. I need help.
Why do you women make dating so difficult? It feels like anything I do could be construed as being not masculine or "bitch like".
>>16758211
>Why do you women make dating so difficult?
To filter out people who refuse to face their fears.
>>16758295
Women don't have to face their fears though. At least in the dating sense of things.
Why don't women like it when you ask for permission though? Like if a woman asked me first "can I kiss you?", I wouldn't mind and I woulodn't mind that she asked me.
What the fuck is wrong?
Is that even possible a guy would ask a girl to hang out and then flake out of fear of rejection or low self esteem or anxiety? Or am I reaching?
sounds like something I would do
No, that's definitely a thing. But if you think that's what happened then you should ask them about it.
They might just genuinely be uninterested, or a jerk.
>>16758604
>>16758612
Hmm, okay
But about asking them about it, wouldn't they be ashamed to admit its the reason tho?
I need some help /adv/
I text an old coworker of mine after not talking to her for two years. Itolf her that I miss her. Her response was "awwww I miss you too." Followed by "I am glad you held on to my number."
I'm having trouble deciding how to respond. I'm stuck between:
1. Oh yeah why is that?
2. I am too, we should grab a drink and catch up sometime.
Or is there a better way to approach this?
If it were me, I would ask why she thinks so.
>>16758202
Do you seriously need us to have your conversation for you?
2. Jesus. Just put yourself out there for once.
So a few days ago, i was approached by a girl on a bus stop, we talked a bit and she seemed really nice, when her bus came, i gave her my number. But she havent called or texted me since (about 4 days ago and i didnt get the chance to get her number). I did manage to find her facebook just by searching up her name, but even i know how big of a creep i am if i contact her, but alas i cant seem to get the girl out of my head.
So - Should i just wait and hope for her to text me, or go out on a limb by sending her a message online?
lmfaooooo
>>16758197
if she's interested then she'll contact you.
if she ain't interested then why the fuck would you spend the time and energy chasing her?
just put it on the backburner and move on for now.
>>16758197
message her on facebook and say that you saw she popped up under the suggestions of people you might know. that sounds believable enough. i've used that line before with some success. give it a shot. it's better than not trying at all
Looking for some stories or advice.
I've only been with one girl, my girlfriend, for 2 years now. I'm 20, I'm a bit bored of it. We took each others virginity and helped each other through our depression and moved out together. Problem is I'd like to see other people and not sure if she'd be down for an open relationship or not. Do they work? Should I just dump her? I care about her and don't want her to be heartbroken but I'd like to be free to be with other women.
Pic unrelated.
>>16758193
>Should I just dump her?
Break up. All an open relationship would do is make it easier for you to find another girlfriend while you stay with the one you got.
You want to fuck other girls but you don't want to make the hard decision of leaving her.
Too bad. You want out? Get out.
This is absolutely not what open relationships are for. Do her a favor and dump her. Go drown in a sea of pointless pussy for a few years, and then come back to us in a year or so and whine about how you gave up the best thing in life for some dirty snatch.
Just be upfront man. If she's not down, dump her. Just don't lie to her
Lol is it bad that i made a village in minecraft called the Gay Nazi Pirate Village.

Is there a word or condition that describes:
"Forgetting" how to do something if done repeatedly. Saw i'm writing the letter S over and over in cursive really fast. It's very easy but eventually my brain dumbs out and I "forget" how to write the s.
Retardation

The forgetting is for about 2-3 seconds, and then I can continue. You think I have some ischemic brain damage? I used to hold my breathe and pass out a lot
