Need some answers /adv/ got caught trying to leave work with an SSD and was going to be fired until one of my cowrokers told me i could resign and leave a letter saying i'm basically quitting to find work elsewhere. I told my manager and he seemed to be okay with the idea, so basically i had two options either i quit on good terms or let them fire me with bad letter.I filled the letter of resignation and everything seems to be okay while i start looking for work elsewhere, will this bite me in the ass when using previous job as reference? I hear they can't give out any of that information since i went with the quit option instead of being fired. I was pretty cool with my manager and supervisors i left on good terms with them, thoughts?
pls respond, is my life fucked or can i move on with this hard lesson learned

Where do you live? Answer will be dependent on employment law in your country.
how to deal with severe depression without medication?
>>16689247
Accept it as your baseline in life.
>>16689247
Just be yourself
>>16689247
psychologically condition your brain to enjoy life.
first and foremost:
do you actually have a reason to be depressed? or does the normal wave of life make you feel depressed?
if you have reasons to be depressed, write them down. if your list looks like this
>no gf
>no best friends
>no money
than you are already on the wrong track. the most you can really ask for in terms of money is enough to not be stressing out all the fucking time about what you're going to do next. a gf will not make you happier, and you can't predicate happiness on some stranger coming into your life and making it enjoyable. so get that notion out of your head. friends are in the same category.
Moving on, for the most part people are actually only depressed because they are edgy. they didnt mean to, but they psychologically trained themselves to simply be unimpressed by daily life events and can only experience joy when its an extreme high. this happens a lot because of instant gratification of simple video games and the like.
so first, make a list of what depresses you, and cut it out of your life. its never easy. its often hard. sometimes its going to lead to more sorrow. but a lot of sorrow now by cutting off somethign that makes you miserable can lead to a life time of happiness once you finally get over it. staying in a relationship with ANYONE just because you are already in that relationship (whether its familial, romantic, or platonic) is a stupid idea. life is meant for you to go out and meet new people and form new bonds and grow from one another, then moving on when you've done all you could. if there are people in your life holding you back, cut them off. if there is SOMETHING in your life holding you back, cut IT off
hi /adv/
I just can't spend any time at home working
I just play vidya
I don't even read anymore, I used to read books like crazy
I want to study, my grades are really going down and it's going to ruin my future
I just can't concentrate at all, my grades are shit, all because of gaming
without gaming though, I can feel no joy in life anymore
What do I do now? I spend 9 hours a day on my PC.
>>16689216
suck some dick
>>16689216
Go somewhere else to study, like a coffee shop or library.
>>16689216
decide what is more important, gaming or your studies. then build your life around what is more important.
imo people put too much emphasis on getting a career they dont really want. its not that hard to make it in the world and live a reasonably comfortable life that suits your hobbies.
that being said, lets operate under the assumption that you are going to want to continue studying.
here is what you do
>make a list of everything you need to do school wise
>divide it by what needs to be done that specific day
>its its generic 'study' time, set out a certain amount of time you want to adhere to
then you just do it. you can play video games / hang out with friends / other leisure activities only when you complete your daily tasks. have a check list and mark things off as you go.
>BUT ACTUALLY DOING WHAT I NEED TO DO IS HARD CUZ I CAN JUST WALK OVER TO MY COMPUTER AND CLICK A BUTTON
if this is your outlook about the situation then youa re fucked. no amount of advice we can give you will help cuz even saying something like 'delete the games; will lead to you saying 'THAT WONT WORK CUZ I CAN JUST REINSTALL THEM'
you have to have a human level of accountability here if you want this to work at fucking all.
the best things i can offer is
>make the checklist
>adhere to it
>Reward yourself only when its been completed
>try and use a buddy system to make sure you dont sneak away (re: roommates / parents dictating when you can or cant play video games).
Hi, Im actually summer-working in a pool in a hotel and I have no computer and spend 5-6 hours of my job just sitting behind a desk doing nothing but reading /sci/. I dont wanna waste more time, I wanna learn something. But reading books in my phone is annoying with all the zooming because of the little letters. What should I do?
>>16689205
You read books ON your phone
Drown yourself in the closest body of water you illiterate finkrat
>>16689205
>not just playing with dinosaurs all day
are you not allowed to bring in a real book? if not why are you allowed to read your cell phone all day but not a book? are you not allowed to bring anything in? its a desk jkob that doesnt get a whole lot of action so generally employers are comfortable with you having something to do inbetween random people coming up to you.
>>16689211
Is the only thing I can do. This place is a vacation complex far away from cities. No good internet, no books, phone only, final destination. Besides, my boss is gonna tell me something if he see me reading books in the job, but using your phone its something everyone does.
In short
>18
>2 yrs+ depression
>tried medication
>have no motivation whatsoever
>parents want to send me to a mental institution for evaluation
>dont want to
I just need to get my life together and get out of this house. I hase passions and in my previous expertise with many psychologists it's been said I'm intelligent above avarage. But it doesn't mean shit if I'm not smart and motivated enough to work for my future.
Maybe you know some good online programs/apps/webs that can help me not to be a looser.
Thanks in advance, hope ya'll having a good night.
>>16689165
The mental institution will help you get your shit together.
Partially because it sucks so much that it will make you realize that each day is precious and your were wasting your life away.
But you need a serious wake up call like that, so don't fight it.
If you are able to just flip a switch and kick your ass in to motivation mode because of fear then you didn't really have depression in the first place
> above average intelligence
Then don't do medication, we need people like you, and some medication has the potential to fuck you up!
>>16689165
make sure you take some 'innocents' with you
Girlfriend and I always go to raves. She wears revealing outfits which I think are really cute.
Now she wants to wear pasties. Is it okay if this is a dealbreaker for me?
At some point the thirst for attention became too much for me. After she told me she wanted to wear pasties I realized that she never wears that stuff for me. Even during sexy time.
She says its cute but pasties are waaaaay too revealing to be cute. It's just straight up sluttiness. I'm okay with a lot of things band i loved her outfits and even though they were revealing, they were cute and looked really nice but pasties are way too naked for my taste.
How do I approach this?
I actually don't think it would bother me if my girlfriend wanted to do that. Who cares as long as she's with you and isn't hooking up with other dudes?
If she was going off WITHOUT you and doing this, then I would be upset.
Tell her?
>>16689058
Just draw a line.
Say "I'm not comfortable with that, I feel like it would be you standing naked in front of a bunch of guys"
It's okay to draw lines like this in the relationship. You're not "being controlling" if she's free to end the relationship and wear pasties whenever she wants.
Just tell her that it's not something you're comfortable with. If she agrees to not wear them and then goes behind your back, treat it like a cheating case.
My gf and I are both 20. She's only had one relationship before when she was 17 and it ended because she cheated on her ex. Is it likely she'll do it again? Had she done it at an older age I wouldn't waste my time with her, but given that she was in high school I'm not sure what to think. We've been together about 6 months and I don't believe she has cheated or will do so soon, I'm just worried it's a long-term possibility.
17 Is definitely old enough to establish those kinds of patterns. It's not about whether she's likely to do it but whether she can. She crossed the threshold at 17 which means she definitely has the capacity to do it and will cheat if given the chance. No mercy OP, get out of there. Or enjoy it while it lasts and don't get caught off guard when she cheats. But it will always be lingering over you're head. If she's out late or vague about something she's doing you'll always wonder if she's cheating. You won't be able to fully trust her.
>>16689054
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
>>16689054
its only ever your second relationship, so why worry about it? some people cheat once and never do again. some people never cheated but one day do. most people cheat here or there because of the context of the situation.
while redflags are definitely a good idea to keep in mind, i think its more healthy for you to realize that no relationship can have a as much trust as your romantic brain wants there to be.
of all the human relationships, romance is the most fragile. if it doesnt crash in burn in a fiery passionate blaze, then it slowly fizzles out til one day you come home and find all your gfs stuff has been packed up.
this isn't me being edgy or pessimistic, this is just the general nature of romance. is fleeting. traditional marriages end up being more like siblings who fuck then actual romances. it was man picking out a partner to take care of their house and kids for them. it was a woman looking for someone to provide a comfortable existence for them. and like with your own parents or siblings, there was nothing you could do about it once you made that choice, you just waited it out and made the best of it.
now everyones under the impression that they have to be truly madly deeply in love with their partner and have all this trust and BS. why trust anyone? not that much. you can still date someone and enjoy the moment and be truly passionate wihtout thinking 'yay i finally met someone who is never going to cheat on me and this will definitely last forever'. especially not at the age of 20.
my advice, date her, do what you do in a relationship, and when the end comes the end comes.
Split up with a gf 2 months ago. Day hasn't passed yet where I didn't think about her. It's just like before we broke up, first thought in the morning is her - but she is no longer around now. I never had this before. I never felt so much for the other in my life. And even though I know it wasn't all perfect and diamonds I still miss her as noone before.
I tried it with two girls after we broke up, and it was just not there, even after I spent a night with them, I still didn't care about them at all. I don't care about anyone in my life really, and I don't mean it in edgy way, I just don't. My family, my friends...I'm not really interested in their lifes, I'm not seriously interested in what they did last weekend, I don't honestly care about how they feel.
I only did feel it with her.
It was the first and the last time I ever felt something like this towards other human beign since my childhood.
What does it mean /adv/?
Am I a moderate sociopath?
When will I stop thinking about her?
Sometimes I feel like yeah, now I'm over it, but then it crushes me again...shit sucks guys.
Get a new girlfriend, thats what i did when i was heartaching over ex. New gf was more attractive and nicer to me, literally forgot about ex the day i had sex with new gf.
>>16689005
But love would be meaningless then. How can I love somebody again? It just doesn't make any sense. I got some after we broke up but at the end it didn't help any.
I just want to forget her and get some occasional fuck. I don't think I can love ever again.
>>16689013
"what about your first love huh, she played it cold didn't she. Made a nigga shed a tear and she changed a nigga. Now we fucked'em and duck'em, never trust'em or love'em." -some nigger

Problem:
Had sex w/ girl 2 months ago, blew fattest load inside. She didn't douche.
She was having sex w/ ex after.
1 month later, she got Pelvic Inflamatory Disease, which is usually caused by STD or STI.
Her ex, herself and I got tested... No STDs.
She still thinks I did it, and wants to sue me for her medical bills of like, $150. I have no job.
Told her that's like getting toe cancer after scratching your toe and blaming cancer on scratching...
Am I wrong at all in this scenario?
>>16688935
Just say you got tested and have no STD.
Doesnt matter if its cause of your load, just lie and tell her she got nothing on you then proceed to ignore.
Told her I'd pay half of it be use I felt bad, but she's hardcore blame gaming and calling me names /claiming I took advantage of her.
She drank 1 beers worth of margarita before I seduced her into fucking, after she said "I don't wanna have sex but ooh ur making me wanna have sex"
Next day, she was all "omg lets do it again sometime".
She talked to ex (only other boy she's fucked) he fucked her, convinced her I took advantage, and now she's trying to be a feminazi rape cryer too.
Oh, did I mention I met her in a women's studies class? Stupid me
I got all sad because I was studying religions and felt like god smited me and that I'd had dormant chlamydia at first, until I saw BOTH our test results...
Fuck religion man, it's just more guilt. Get out while u can unless ur poor and need a place to live or have a family to network/support.
I need not advice, I need opinions. Which of these two women is hotter, or looks better?
>>16688913
Second woman
Also, the first one is actually fatter despite the appearances. The first one has huge tits, second one a huge ass
Both are ghetto shit but second is better cause she isn't as fat. What good is a big ass it it's lumpy shit.
>>16688922
I'd go with big tits, even if ghetto
No fucking Idea, I just need to translate this.

Yeah but I can't translate it my friend. I don't have a russian keyboard
How can I make this girl stop being annoying?
There is this girl in class whom constantly looks back and stares me for a few seconds. I always pretend I don't notice and I keep looking at the blackboard.
I thought she would stop soon enough, but she hasn't, and it's becoming annoying.
Should I tell her to fucking stop being a child?
>>16688726
Let your pee pee do the talking
Is she ugly or attractive? Either way she has a crush on you, to stop her from doing this shit just talk to her after class, "Hey i noticed you keep looking at me, do you have an issue with me?" then when she says w/e say "I'd appreciate it if you stopped looking at me, im not interested"
Done.
>>16688741
Physically attractive, but not someone I'd get involved with. She's known for sleeping with anyone and partying often, not at all my kind of thing - rather she's pretty much the opposite.

Humans are resilient animals. You can either live, or die. That's your prerogative.
Do all that and then kill yourself.
Here's a new one to your list. Meditate. My life is much better since I start meditating. Just sit for 20 min alone with eyes close trying not to think in anything, slay every though that comes to your head. Its not a hippie karma chakra energy bullshit. Its a mind excercise about discipline.
Here, you ask a question about anything that's troubling you. Answer two other questions and help someone out in return!
Here, I'll start: What brought you to /adv/?
I was hoping there would be some kind of general for mental health issues. I want to go to the doctor to find out if I'm crazy, but I'm scared for a couple of reasons.
>>16688701
I had been browsing 4chan for a while and
/adv/ seemed actually beneficial to my daily life.
Here my question:
How do you keep motivated to study and work hard even though you are a chronic procrastinator?
>>16688716
Have you ever tried a hotline? They obviously don't solve your problems completely but they can give you good advice and set you on the right track.
