My school is telling me that even though I'm 18, my parents still have the right to control my education. Is this a load of horse shit, or is it legitimate?
Horse shit.
>>16481017
state?
>>16481023
Yep, total horse shit but OP is too much a faggot to do anything about it.
It's called you move out and take care of your own damn self and make your own rules.
I need some relationship advice.
My boyfriend made a new friend that he's incredibly cuddly/hands-on with, going so far as to sleep in the same bed. It's not sexual in any way but it still makes me sick to my stomach.
I have explained to him how it makes me feel and he understands, but he keeps doing it. I'm going away for a week and I know they have plans to spend it together.
I'm conflicted because on one hand I feel violated by them being intimate together in our own house, on the other I feel selfish for wanting him to stop.
What should I do? Just try to block it from my mind or make a bigger deal out of it?
>>16480854
How much dignity and self-respect do you have? My answer depends on it.
>>16480864
Enough that I would break up should things come to it, if that's what you mean.
>>16480854
Lol move on. This guy is bored of you and already boarding the next ship from the sound of it.
holy shit just had worst experience in my life with a girl, even worse than a rejection.
girl i have a crush in my art class, i was supposed to be her model and she was supposed to draw my face. there were two other models next to me to draw, she didnt draw me and drew the other guy instead of me.
now i've been showing this girl interest deeply, while she shows no signs of anything. she simply said "he was a better angle" when i askd her why she didnt draw me, when i was right in front of her. Is this the ultimate rejection?
Her eyes do not dilate when they see me, she speaks in a monotone half of the time when i ask her something and even makes me repeat it, she doesnt even look at me right in the face when i talk to her i am frustrated with this girl.
Should i just give up now because there is no hope anymore?
this is OP again
my last attempt will be to ask her if she wants to go eat sushi with me although i am gonna do this through email....
or should i do this in person? but if i do it in person i feel if she says no then its game over
why do i feel like she's testing my confidence? am i just a needy beta orbiter? i dont want to give up not yet, there is 3 weeks left till class ends
She doesn't like you romantically. Don't force yourself onto her..
Do you ever have any conversation with her to begin with? Bring up to go do something together casually. If she doesn't want to you know how it is. Don't feel bad about it, just find someone better who likes you.
how do i fix my uneven tanline without overcompensating for whats already tanned? being outside for 3 hours a day due to classes fucked my arms, my neck, my back, pussy, crack, etc
something similar happened to me
afterwards I spent many weeks (maybe months) without going on the sun and my skin became normal
>>16480826
How have you not learned to wear sunscreen when you go out?
No exceptions, sunscreen on every time you go into the sun. Spf 30.
>>16480848
classes require going outside. entire commons/quad has no roof, besides halls and rooms.
How do you stop feeling lonely when dating is not an option?
I do have friends and a healthy social life, but not having a boyfriend still makes me scream internally.
suicide usually stops the feeling of loneliness
>>16480811
I can't do that. My family needs me.
>>16480819
kill them too
I'm 24 and I've never gotten really good at anything. I've never had any ambition to excel and I lament that fact but I don't really have it in me to change it; as it is I'm just kind of a jack of all trades and mater of nothing and it kind of eats me up inside.
Anybody else feel this way?
Pic unrelated
Another bump
I'm in the same boat. Everyone tries to encourage me by saying I'm good at shit like computer problems, when the reason is I spend hours on Google to fix something I fucked up.
I also fear if I do have a skill, it'll be in something that doesn't pay well enough for me to live on my own. Its got to the point where if anything asks me about a career/major I just lie about it.
bump
Now even my friend has turned on me...I don't get why she would say something like this, making fun of me like I have a mental disease. What do I do at this point.
>>16480722
See a therapist or something
What is your disease? I have a lot of health problems myself and I am a female so I will try to help you best as possible.
>>16480725
I don't want to talk to someone about my thoughts and I don't think I need it.
Why are 40+ adults so oblivious to the high cost of college and national student loan debt? Also, how do I persuade my parents that economy has changed and that college may not be the solution?
Present them with the alternative. When they don't accept, do it anyway because that's the only way you'll be able to pay rent when they kick you out.
>>16480676
Go to a trade school. Tell your parents that you know what you want and that a trade school suits you better and they will save money.
what do you think is the solution? to work at mcdonalds for the rest of your life?
I'm in love /b/. What do I do? I don't know what to say to her to kick off a relationship. I know she at least somewhat likes me, but I don't completely know. She has been recently in a predicament with her parents. How do I comfort her. She knows that i like her but I think she is waiting for me to do something. Help...
>pic related, it's her.
Op here. Wrong board tag. Need some advice...
My advice is to not like fatties
Leverage her daddy issues into becoming the new alpha of her life. She will become dependent on you so long as you insert yourself into the father figure role. Also in seriousness, just open with something like how's life treating you? Its harmless and opens discussion into her personal life
Is there any way to be friendly and loving toward pretty women without them being concerned that you're hitting on them (I'm planning on entering an Orthodox monastery down the road anyhow, so I'm certainly not looking for a relationship)? A lot of the time, when I smile or greet a pretty woman, she looks away and is aloof, presumably because she's worried that if she returns the friendliness, it will send the wrong message.
Is there any appropriate way to be friendly to pretty women while making it clear you aren't interested in them in a romantic way?
Ask them how their day is and listen to what they say that is it.
Is there any reason you are being friendly and loving towards them? Like are you friendly and loving towards ugly men as well?
If not then there's your answer

>Is there any reason you are being friendly and loving towards them? Like are you friendly and loving towards ugly men as well?
Yes, I try to be toward everyone, especially the homeless. It's part of Christianity for me.

I've had sex before but it doesn't feel as good as masturbation
So I'm wondering why people go on about sex like if they don't get enough of it it's a problem, can't they just masturbate?
Or maybe it's different when you have a vagina like I do, I don't know
I have such a high sex drive I masturbate multiple times a day and I used to think sex would be more satisfying but now that I've had it it's actually inferior
Sex is only better than masturbation when you have feelings for the person you're with
>>16480306
>year of our lord 2015
>being this fucking autistic
>>16480306
Okay, let's try and break this down. How did it happen? How long did it last? Who were you having sex with? Were they experienced? Was there any foreplay?
There's a thousand and one reasons why your time could have been just bad.
Hey adv, I need some help
I'm a twenty something girl, never been in a relationship. I have this friend, we know each other from the university, for more than a year now. He almost always initiates our conversations, and I was wondering if I should ever message him first? Even when we see each other in real life he starts the convo first (like, I would say hey first, but he starts talking and asking me qustions and telling how his day goes, etc)
I don't start convos with him because I just assume if he feels like talking, he would hit me up himself. But I like him so...
Anyway, what are some signs guy is into me? If we talk a lot is it good or normal?
If he wanted to start the conversation he would start it. That says nothing about his openness to participating.
The only sign is if he asks you out. However the same is true the other way around. The only way for him to ever know of your interest is for you to ask him out.
>>16480234
He asked me out but it was very unofficial and I don't think these were dates, but I don't know how normal date looks like.
>>16480248
A date is when you do an activity together, talk while you're doing it and flirt. That last part is key. Unless you're exchanging innuendo, suggestive language, etc., it's not a date.
I was talking to some guys at work about the new fallout I do not usually admit to others that gaming is a hobby of mine but I was really interested in their conversation. One of the guys called me a gamer girl which really frustrated me because I spend 20-60 hours a week when I am not working playing games. I told him that I do not want to be called that because gaming is a hobby of mine and that I want nothing to do with girls that call themselves that.
Should I just keep to myself again like I use to? It seems like people make assumptions as to what kind of games females like to play when I like to just play whatever game I enjoy. I had one of them hassle me the other day as to why I do not enjoy LoL and I told them that its too generic of a MOBA for me to enjoy and they responded with "oh you do not understand it?" And I told him yes I do understand LoL but if I had my choice of MOBAs it would not be LoL.
but do you play as support?
>>16480223
It sounds like you work with fags. Just tell people you game "sometimes" if it comes up. LoL is for plebs anyway, you shouldnt have to defend your decision not to play it
>>16480245
I like to play assassin classes for stealth in any games I play. My weapon of choice is katars if I have the option.
Is it possible to condition yourself into fearing sex by trying to comfort yourself by masturbating whenever you're anxious?
>>16480131
I'm not sure if I've read your question right, do you mean is it possible to condition yourself *not* to fear sex?
>>16480134
>be me
>anxious often
>try to comfort by masturbation
>actively dislike sex
>what have I done
Masturbation is a common and natural reaction to stress, boredom, and sleepiness, especially at a young age. Babies often use it as a self-soothing mechanism.
I've been masturbating since I can remember and still do when I'm feeling anxious, bored, or sleepy. I have no fearful feelings about sex.
I think those might be from something other than your masturbation.
