Mid-late 20's guy with a girlfriend here.
I am reaching a point of desperation concerning people (including my girlfriend, but mostly other family members) constantly putting pressure on me to get married and have children.
I was just at a family gathering today, and several of my cousins several years older than I am had their little kids running around / generally being little shits.
Of course all the other (now empty nest) adults are cooing, holding the kids, and laughing as the kids smash food into their faces, but all I could feel throughout all this is disgust and despair.
Having a kid sounds terrible since it seems like you basically become a slave to them and lose all of your free time. My mom even said it herself one time years ago "I had my own life at one point, and I gave it all up for you kids."
I'm already going through enough anxiety because I'm going bald, my career isn't turning out very well, I have a constant fear of growing old/dying, and I'm generally poor, but now all anyone can tell me is that I should just give up the remainder of my life so that I can have a kid who'll help put me in a nursing home and bury me.
I barely have enough time to even live my own life, and people with kids look miserable as fuck 24/7.
It sounds like hell.
Does anyone have any advice?
Can anybody talk with me about it?
Thanks.

Psychologist here, I recommend covering yourself in honey and rolling around in sprinkles

looks like you are starting to feel the effects of getting old
you said you are generally poor and barelly has time for yourself
you still have plenty of time to decide if you are going to have a kid or not, so there's really no point in having one right now if you don't think you are prepared or want to
>>
>>16751082
I feel like 'feeling old' in your 20s is disgusting, but I can't stop having anxiety every day about it especially when I'm losing my hair.
And I would never had a kid right now, but I feel like there is this looming deadline in my life that I'm going to hit when I turn ~30 to get married and have kids.
It's the inevitability of it. I either get married and have kids, push it off (which'll endanger the health / wellbeing of any kid I eventually do have), or just wait until my girlfriend's (wife?) eggs are gone forever, and I missed my chance.
I wish I could be 20 forever, getting old sucks dick.

Hey guys.
I'm sort of stuck here. My whole life I tried to make my son into a good man, a man like me, a man that would find riches, honor, and success in his life.
Nothing I did worked. He's been like this since forever- an underachiever. No discipline, no pride.
It's at the point where for a long time, I've felt like he WASNT my son- I remember in 7th grade, he failed out of the advanced math program at his school, I actually DNA tested him because I thought my wife had cheated on me.
Turns out no, he's mine.
What do I do? He's 18 now. I'm about ready to disown him, try to have a new son. I'm only 42.
How do I come to terms with my failure as a parent? Did I fail, or was he just born weak?
I look at him, and I don't see any hint of myself at age 18 when I look at him. If I was 18 and I ran into him, to be honest, I would probably have spat on him and called him a loser.
It breaks my heart every day.

>Was still signed into my ex's skype account after we broke up yesterday because she used it to skype someone from my phone about a week ago and I never signed out
>Literally just broke up yesterday night and she is talking to some dude about how she cant wait to fuck him, and let him do shit to her and sending him shots of her tits and shit
>Told him that she just fell out of love with me, and that it was the real reason we broke up, not her being depressed which is what she told me
I'm literally shaking. I'm going to fucking explode. How does any decent human being do something like this? One week, everything's fine, or at least you're pretending it is, the next you're too "depressed" to be in a relationship, which you're lying about, so you break up with your boyfriend of three years. And then the very next day you're in contact with some new dude setting up a fuck.
Please fucking god tell me not all women are like this. I'm going to through a fucking chair through a window. How could I ever love someone like that?

Maybe that's the way she's thinking about coping with it OP, luring guys and getting lots of attention. I'm not saying that's a right thing to do or anything but just my thoughts.
But if she is just like that then I'm sorry OP.

I'm not going to lie, I fucking blew up on her. Told I couldn't believe I ended up with someone like her, and just roasted her.
She pretended like she wasn't hurt, but her roommate called me and said she flew into a fit.

Before you post a question, check here to see if it's already been answered
Keep your questions short and sweet for more answers.
And please no derailing arguments.
Avoid asking these common questions:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
Some do, some don't. Our answers are not going to help you.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Think positive, and get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it.
>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
Most likely
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.
>XYZ happened. Did I fuck it up with this guy/girl?
Maybe, maybe not. We're not in their head, we don't know. No amount of your walls of text will fix that.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Would you date a virgin?
As long as they aren't insecure about it. Complexes are a total turn-off.
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>That one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships
No one wants to cuddle you. Stop asking

On a scale of 1 to 10 how likely is a woman to lie about her sexual history. Especially if I give off vibes that I probably wont approve of a promiscuous past.

Does God hate me? I have her Facebook pulled up. It's been updated as of yesterday, so I can assume she checks it regularly. I can message her, but how long should I wait for her to text me? There's a good chance I'll never see her in real life so I don't really care about it being creepy or whatever. What should I say? What did I do wrong?
Pls /adv/ I'm so lonely.

How do you feel about polygamy? Would you be open to one if you were offered to join? What's your standards?
Honestly I don't think it would work out well but I want to try one out while i'm in my twenties. I'm not cuck enough to cheat on my partner either.

Not for me. If other people want to do it then that's their prerogative, but I don't want to be involved in any way.

its all situation based.
everyone likes to say 'well thats not gonna end well' as if monogamous relationships ever 'end well'. if two or more sexy people offer to let you into their circle, why not try it?
whats the current situation OP?

There is a lot of unbiased research finding it is a psychologically unhealthy relationship. So no I would avoid it.

I need some advice. I am a compsci student from Chile, although I have already finished my curriculum and I am working on my thesis. I want to find a job in the US, although I have no clue on where to start or what I should be doing first. I've sent some few resumés and I've been rejected from everywhere without much explanation. I would find an internship, but given I am done with my curriculum I can't apply for one, and my thesis is already being worked on.
What would you suggest me to do? I've tried all I know I can do, including updating my LinkedIn profile and improving my resumé, but nothing has worked yet and I have the feeling something's not right on what I am doing...
Regarding visas I can apply to a H1B or H1B1 visa, so one way or another I'll be able to go.
All and any help will be appreciated, thank you!

You will never ever be given a job in the United States straight out of college. You need to prove that you're uniquely qualified to do the position you're applying to so that an American citizen isn't being deprived of an employment opportunity. Applying to these american companies and applying for visas is a waste of time for you, and it is a waste of time for the people having to trash your resume. If you're so desperate to not live in a third world shithole, try other first world countries in Europe where they'll bend over and spread their buttcheeks for you.
If you spontaneously decide to grow a brain, you can start applying to tech-oriented companies in your country.

How do I find value and meaning in my life? Everyday is just me wallowing in my own self pity and I have no idea what to do about it. I want to kill myself not because I'm sad, because I'm empty and everything feels numb to me. Because I know that I'll probably never develop the kind of connection I've always wanted out of life.

I'm feeling pretty bad myself, is there anything you want to talk about?
>>
>>16748822
I don't think there's really anything specific to talk about. My life just feels like shit in general. I've never been in a relationship that lasted more than 48 hours, I generally hate myself, I've been working out and dieting for almost a year now and I don't feel different even though I know I've lost weight, I'd murder for a relationship just so I have someone I can cuddle with and know that I'm worth something to somebody and make them feel the same and people often start disliking me out of no where and for no reason that I'm even aware of.
tl;dr life sucks

People who lose their shit in stressful situations
Unfortunately the only time to get a warning about this is to experience a stressful situation for them
It's literally fucking dangerous. This became most evident to me when I had to get through a natural disaster with someone whose composure went out the window. We started burning through resources and getting distracted with constant stress, and it was only a moderately precarious situation. The effect of a serious emergency would be compounded several times over by someone like that.

How do you get over a guy who wasn't even yours?
We met online, talked allday-everyday, video chatted ect. Found out he has a girlfriend.
>pic related
Ever since we stopped talking I've been feeling very empty. I loved being totally single before. How can I go back to that and forget him?
Hardmode: no alcohol or drugs or whoring around.

So one on the guys in my suite at uni is throwing off gay vibes. Like he keeps winking and shit at other guys. And he thinks its funny to awkwardly brush up against other guys and shit. Makes me really uncomfortable. We were all hanging out watching tv when he came drunk thinking it would be funny to pretend to try and kiss on roomie.
This shit is getting ridiculous. Ive been trying to ignore it but I can only imagine if he tried to kiss me Id break his jaw.
How does one tactfully handle this situation. He swears hes not gay...

There you go, answered your own question
to be honest I don't know because I've never really been in a similar situation, can't you all roomates tell him to cut that shit off or you'll whoop his ass? (considering he's also not some weird fetish fag who would like that)
>>
Why do you care so much? He might be gay, but what's the big deal? If he hits on you, just think of it like a fat girl flirting with you, you can just turn him down without freaking out or being an asshole about it.
You're going to meet gay people in your life, learn to deal with it without losing your cool. It's none of your business what he's into
