Hey what is this, I got it yesterday morning. I woke up yesterday with this. Could feel it swelling through out the day. Now it's a big welt. Brown recluse or abcess? It's been like 36 hours since I realized it was there. I can feel tingling in it a bit every now and then

I attended some dumb training program below my skill level because I didn't feel like I could perform in a real job after spending the 2 years after high school doing nothing, but now that I've ended up basically doing the instructors' job I've learned that I could absolutely supervise people, but how am I supposed to get such a job if I can't even approach a woman I'm definitely attractive enough to pursue but neglect to because maybe she had plans or something, let alone present the little paper experience I have in a way that exemplifies my skills in order to get a job that pays more than the admin assistant position I could have done when I graduated?

Quick thread, been talking to a girl for about a month now, we've admitted we liked each other. About two days ago she told me that her parents would never let her have a bf unless they were to marry. We're only eighteen.

I have no intentions of marrying this girl (obviously) but I do want to try and start a relationship with her. Her family is bapist so I'm 90% they have worries about her having premarital sex.

I don't want to do a secret relationship. Is there any way around this or should I just move on?

I want to know how to really hate someone. This one little cunt can't take a joke. Here's what happened

So, this is when she told me about a person that she hates. She has a tendency to "stalk" people she hates for reasons to laugh or hate them more. (Don't ask me how liking shirtless pictures of the hottest guy in the grade makes you hate him more) So that means she blocks them from her personal account, but uses her second account to snoop around their profile. This is the text after she told me about anons post.

Me: So you secretly want to see his posts without following him, I see. So now anon has a secret admirer now. Thats interesting

Her: More like when there are people I hate I want more things to hate about them or an excuse to laugh at them

Me: Or what you said is a cover up. And that you secretly like them, but don't want anyone to know.

Her: Well, time to find the block button, and not for anon. That's already done

So she actually did it when I thought she was messing around. And she's been also spreading fake stuff about me. I didn't really care a lot when she blocked, but now I have to deal with these rumours. I'm fucking done with her. So I would like to know how to hate someone more.

Here are some things about her
1. She's a super big band nerd and thinks marching band is some how harder than football because they have to carry instruments. She also claimed that they only get two minute water breaks every hour, but that's false because j added others and they said five minutes every thirty minutes
2. Because she got out in the gifted program, she thinks she's special.
3. Watches people like Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and all the people that have a twelve years old girl fan base

I don't even know why I put up with her for three years while a lot of people hate her also. I would be key the blocking thing go, but rumours? Really? So now I just want to hate her more and be verbal about it. If I shouldn't, please give advice about calming down.

I have an open bottle of sake on a shelf exposed to sun light. The bottle has been open for 23 days now.
I know that it will probably taste weird, but would it actually harm my body?

Thanks! :)

ITT: Everyone post something other people do that you hate.
And everyone read what other people write, and if you identify something you do yourself, consider if you should stop doing it.

I want to join the Canadian Forces Primary Reserves.

Anyone here have any experience? What was BMQ like? What's the most prestigious regiment? What do you know now that you wish you knew before signing up?

/adv/ I keep dropping friends out of my life for no apparent reason.

I've done this since I was 11. I make good friends at school/work/unviersity and then i drop them as soon as those things are over.

Whilst I am a loner and I thoroughly enjoy my own company, it's not like i dislike these people's company, it's just a sort of laziness that 'im not compelled to associate with them so I don't bother. I appreciate the value in keeping friends and actually going through life continually letting friendships die, will end me up completely and involuntarily isolated.

It's really bad, I have no friends in life because of this habit. I'm in a whatsapp group of friends from my master's degree who regularly meet-up, i've never gone to meet them up (i live in a different city to them) and someone commented on it.

How do I go about reviving friendships?
There are 2 groups i'm thinking of:
1. friends from uni who meet up regularly about 2 hours away from me - 6 months without contact
2. friends from university who i was keeping in contact with on facebook, but lost contact with because i changed my facebook account. - about a year and a half without contact

how do i explain my absence and how do i reinvigorate these friendships

I want to create an interpals profile, but I have no idea how to take a good pic of myself. I've been told by girls I'm attractive, and when I look at the mirror I consider myself to be pretty decent looking, but in pictures I always look like shit. I'm not photogenic at all, and I have a hard time faking smiles.

Any tips on how to take good looking pictures? Preferably selfies since I'd rather not ask anyone to take 100 pictures of me before I decide I don't like any of them. Can any /p/anon help me?

Was stopped by a young black dude (looked about 19-20, dressed casually) while I was surfing the internet on my phone, when he asked me what I did for work since at the time I was dressed in business clothes.
Told him some random company off the top of my head, then he asked me if I wanted to work marketing in his "up and coming" business.

"By the way you look and talk, you'd be a good fit", and he asked for my number to contact me.
I declined and shook his hand, and he went on his way.

Have you guys ever encountered a dude trying to recruit you for some pyramid scheme before?
It's got me a bit paranoid, even though I didn't provide him any information.

GUIDELINES:
Before you post a question, check the FAQ to see if it's already been answered.
Keep questions short for more answers.
If you're not going to like honest answers, don't ask your question.
And please no derailing arguments.

FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>What do girls/guys think about <an insecurity including, but not limited to: looks, physical traits, personality traits, virginity or otherwise lack of dating experience>
There is no one answer. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.

>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever.

>I like someone. What do I do?
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out.

>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online.

>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. You're overthinking it.

>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't know.

>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.

>Someone has made it super 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>.

>Brandon, that guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships, fart guy and the guy who stuffs his pants
Fuck off

How do I go out more?

>spend workdays watching anime and playing vidya
>only socialise on weekends, getting drunk at parties wit friends
>literally the only thing I leave the house for are work, to buy shit and to party

I wasn't always like that. When there's good weather I loved to go swimming with friends or just hanging out somewhere outside, but now:

>hate the sun and when it's hot
>have a decent amount of body hair on my chest and back I dislike a lot, so I don't want to put off my shirt (could get rid of it i know but I wouldn't go out anyways)
>hate strangers which are at all places you can go swim at in my area
>think I have to spend time to do something productive at home (I'm an artist) but I'm maybe using 1/10 of my time for that
>rest only anime and videogames

I want to change. I'm clinically depressed and I feel like going out more would help for that as well.

I also got to know a friend of my sister, and my sis told me she likes me. She's like a 8/10 with a 9/10 personality, we match really well except that I'm a shut in and she's exactly the opposite.

Any tips how I can motivate myself to go out more throughout the week?

hi /adv/, pls help. I recently took a 1-year programme in IT and found out I liked the design subjects the most,
but that I was unable to understand most of the math related subjects (because I was bad at math in High School, and kinda fell off it)

Now I have an issue:
>Accepted to Preparatory Course for B.E. CompSci (1+3 yrs, math intensive but I went to some summer courses and it went pretty OK with a little help)
>Accepted to Informatics (B.Sc. CompSci in Norway) with focus on Interaction Design (3+2 yrs if i go for a M.Sc.)

If I go for informatics, there's room for electives so I can basically take math / more CompSci subjects and transfer to M.Sc. in Software Engineering or the likes.

I have several friends who studied CompSci (interaction design), and they were unable to find a job, but then again, they partied through University and didn't work for shit.
I'm actually mostly interested in Interaction Design and Entrepreneurship, but I would also like some form of job security if I find out entrepeneurship is a dumb idea.
Would B.E. CompSci or B.Sc. Interaction design be the better idea in those cases? thanks

Fuck it. I admit it. My biggest fear is girls. I'm afraid of vaginas. I don't know how to resolve this.
