I'm a senior in highschool an I'm completely unfunny. It's been like this since freshman year, and I thought that maybe this would change with time, but I guess not. It's not so unbearable that I have no friends, but its pretty bad. if you all could share your tips that would be great. I'll start with one of the few I've figured out.

1. Don't use every opportunity to say something humorous. I find that the less I speak the more complex and well, funny, my humor becomes.

and I just remembered one more that works.

2. Humor shouldn't be 100% of the conversation. It should be spice added to the main course. This really makes conversations alot more interesting. Just remember not to blurt out funny comment after funny comment. That gets stale.

thanks guys

Hello, /adv/.

I'm not sure what to do regarding this situation. I have a friend who is struggling quite immensely.

His mother passed away in August, he is in really poor health (he can't walk due to a nerve rupture), and is facing homelessness and cannot work due to his poor health. He said he might be going into surgery. Every time I talk to him I wish this hadn't of happened to him. I've been there for him a lot. And he is my friend.

Today, he asked me what resources I'd be willing to offer. I said I'd always be his friend. I don't know what he meant by that. I think he was implying money. I've been saving money for a bit now, and have enough to pay for this semester of school. I graduate in May, and I'm applying to different branches of National Service. So I won't be making a lot of money.

I figured the best thing I could do for him is pay for his rent for the next month. Do you think this is the right thing to do? I just don't want to be put in a position where he thinks I'll always be able to pay for his rent. But I don't know what to do.

Has anyone else been in this situation, where they have a friend that is truly suffering and don't know what to do? What can I do for him?

Thank your time!

in high school, I hung around with nerds and some less nerdy people (quieter people). but, ive always felt like I should've hung around with the popular kids. but, I stayed away from alcohol and cigarettes and pills etc, so I just stuck with the nerds and shit. I was good friends with some popular kids, but not major friends with them. now I'm on my last year of high school, me and all my friends are 19 so we can do some stuff together but ive always felt like I should've hung around with populat kids.

is it too late? am I fucked or nah?

>parents would fuck with me
>find job move out
>faggot roommate was a giant cunt who stole from me, did things similar to my parents, threatened me, and overall was a lying thief who I had to get away from
>people had put things in my drinks a few times and after that I said fuck it
>had to move back in with parents and was slowly trying to get away from people I knew but on my terms
>someone in my family who was close to me wouldn't stop talking to them
>several threats and what is legally considered 'assault' continue
>most of these people had either stolen from me or threatened me in some way with the exception of like 3-4 people and the person in my family would not stop talking to them and fucking with me
>even couple of neighbors fucking with me but probably for shit n giggles on their end, bad timing
>meanwhile shit begins to escalate into full on abuse and 'bullying' for lack of a less crybaby word
>slowly began to loose my shit
>between all the bullshit, spiked drinks, laced shit, physical and verbal threats, fucking with me, and having no where to go I eventually become an anxiety
>these things were happening routinely for an extended period of time
>mfw every time I drink a fountain drink or drink out of something that was left unattended I get anxiety thinking "what if someone put cialis or LSD or PCP in this shit again?"
>mfw I can't sleep good without my door being locked and having something in front of it
>mfw homicidal thoughts on the regular
>mfw this all sounds like a product of delusion but it is entirely true

tl;dr
Shit got serious, became target of assaults and threats

Everything has pretty much normalized and I can't complain as life is good, despite being an anxiety.
I'm going to be expected to function in a work environment soon, and possibly be around normal sane adults for extended periods of time.
How do I acquire good medication?

What 's legal?

It sounds pretty much like slavery to me- if I tell someone it'll take a 2 weeks to train them before I'm gonna pay them, that's fine right?

I can legally string them along for months if I wanted to?

Looking at internship laws and everything is pretty clear: free for all.

Just worried about inventory going missing, and people that can take orders.

I can tell some guy to cook me breakfast and then work him like a dog 8 hours a day?

Basically I hate myself, and I'm tired of it.
Also not sure what to do about. It shows so obviously in my life through my terrible personality, being passive-aggressive, defensive, pretentious, never taking blame for my own mistakes, even slouching and hovering over my food, making myself smaller you know? Complete lack of confidence.

But then I don't really even know what confidence is supposed to mean, just basically "you think you're awesome" right? People say "fake it till you make it", how am I supposed to pretend to feel something I've never felt and don't really even know what it looks like? So frustrated.

Over the past 18 months I've lost 60 pounds, moved out, got a promotion at work, none of that's made a difference, I still hate myself and act like an asshole because of it.

>need to love yourself before anyone will love you
>how can I love myself if no one else does

I have no socializing. My entire life is just work, movies, internet.
I'm so tired of this. It's not like I'm crushed by depression and sobbing trying to kill myself, it's just that I'm aware of how terrible of a person I am and that that's why I'm alone. "Personality" is supposed to be the most important thing for making friends or meeting girls, and mine is awful. But then again, do people ever really change in the long run?

My sister is pretty attractive and people say that I look like her. Does that mean that I am also attractive or do I just look like a girl?

I've got court tomorrow, some cops found about 6gs of cannabis and a couple bongs in my friend's car. Charged both of us. None of it was mine, I denied everything, I had nothing on me. Even if my friend were to lie and say it was all mine, would there be any way I would get charged with anything? It was in his car, after all.

Guys, this girl I've been talking to online, who I have met before IRL sent me a picture, and she looks sooo sexy it in. The problem is, I don't know how to be sexy through pictures and stuff. I don't want to send a dick pic, because it's not that level yet. But I just don't know how to take sexy pictures. Help

Picture somewhat related, but not her

1/2

What if not having a gf IS the problem?
I’m successful by any measure and try to do all the right things. I have a good job, good prospects. I save and invest my money. I’m fit, not ugly, get along great at work and with my family. I have friends literally all over the world, thanks to connections and travels. I can speak German conversationally. I like to read, hike, hunt, shoot, travel, golf and do normal things like tv. I’ve gone to church my whole life; the player/club lifestyle has NEVER appealed to me. I’m not the man that’s dropped out of society that entitled women and the media love to harp about.
I just want to find a girl that I can marry and have a family with. Someone that I love and want to spoil and support in life, and someone that loves me. It’s not false to say that is the one major problem I believe I face right now. And why wouldn’t it be? I figure I have about 10-15 years to get married and start a family. The struggle to continue my genetic line and fulfill my goals has a deadline. If that’s not an important issue I don’t know what is. This isn’t just “I’m lonely on the weekend”. This is “I’m afraid of dying alone”; “I don’t want my genetic line to go extinct”, “I don’t want to disappoint my parents”.
