Without going into details:
>7 years ago
>soldier in Iraq
>visiting a Iraqi army compound
>I'd had a gut feeling something was off the last couple times we visited
>we go in, LTs have a meeting with local commander, our other platoon was already there
>gut feeling's stronger than ever
>I ignore the urge to check rooms and pull security, telling myself the other platoon already did, as they're relaxed standing around
>so just bullshit with some of them as we typically work opposite rotations in our sector
>about 15 minutes later(this all happens behind my back, others saw), one of the Iraqi army guys came in from their check point, went into their barracks room, told the Iraqis to stay out of the courtyard, replaced his banana mag with a 75 round drum, came back out, quickly took aim and shot my best friend through the head
>the IA then sprayed the courtyard with his AK.
>the friend I was talking to tackles me to the ground, getting shot in the face in the process
All told, two men died, 6 more were permanently injured.
I watched the life fade from my best friend's eyes, he was right next to me.
Every day since then, I've been constantly plagued by what if. If I'd only acted on my gut, maybe I'd have been able to avert it, or at least lessen it.
I feel like my complacency is the reason it happened. For a long time I couldn't sleep without something to put me out, and even now, I see him die when I close my eyes.
How do I live with that? Do I even deserve to? I haven't even been able to bring myself to visit his grave.

Bro, I'm so fucking sorry to hear that. As a grunt, i understand what you are talking about. I don't really know what encouraging words to give you because i understand your thinking on this situation, and I would feel the exact same way.
All you can do brother, just try your best to move on. I encourage you to visit your buddy, maybe it will give you some closure.
>in a relationship with a full time escort while in my grad program
>she starts supporting me financially from the word go
>tells me "fuck student loans"
>mention that I might need to get a new car soon
>two months later she buys me a brand new car with her earnings from prostitution
>do the math on her weekly earnings for two months minus the car
>she was sucking and fucking for two months for enough to cover her expenses, our cost of living, and the car
>same deal with my semester's tuition
>she whores herself out solely for my benefit at this point
No other adult woman in my life will ever love me enough to sacrifice for me like this, will she?

A,
I don't know what kind of game you were playing tonight, but I'm down. I know you're just looking to get laid, and trust me, I'm not apposing, but I sense something more is there. A well guarded woman who has had her fair share of follies, aspiring to be the center of attention while also standing on the sidelines observing. I wonder if I will actually get to know you, or if I am just another guy for you to fuck. We shall see. I think I struck a cord with you. Now whether it was a good or bad one has yet to be seen, but I look forward to it.

F,
I love you. so much more than I thought I ever could for anyone. you were the only one who cared when I got out of the hospital, and I'll never forget that. even when you're off traveling across the country and so far away, I feel the exact same way. I think you might feel the same way too, but I'm too scared to find out. it's hard to tell someone they're the most precious thing in the world to you.. but I'm trying to build up the confidence to do it. I want you to know how I feel, even though I think you already do

Dear B,
Not a day goes by i do not miss you brother, im sorry i could not be there to watch your son grow. I'm sorry we shall never shout eachother milky bars till the sun comes up and ridicule the world like the peaking ducks that we were born to be. Words do no justice to how disappointed i am in myself for not being around for you and yours. Slange va and may we meet in Valhalla if only to exchange beerily fluids whilst chincking our steins once more.
Yours sincerely,

I have found myself being a jack of all trades and a master of nothing for a long time. I've always wanted to be really good at something and it bothers me that I'm not but I don't have any ambition or dreams. I hate mediocrity and yet I have no desire to move beyond it.
Anybody else understand this feeling?

Another bump
>>
I realized I have lost much drawing skill that I used to have. I was bummed. When I thought about it more, I didn't feel so bad. I've learned a lot since I practiced drawing.
I can sharpen a chainsaw chain, sharpen $400 hair scissors, design and construct a shed, sew a backpack or a dress, build an electronic leadscrew, design a control panel, troubleshoot a motor drive, machine a necklace or a die, cook stir fry and clean the kitchen simultaneously, carve a wooden spoon, build a cabinet, do technical drawings, operate a cnc machine, rebuild a bicycle, forge a knife, write in nice cursive or use a lettering guide...
specialization is for insects. Embrace what you can do.

>>16454793
Thank you for your perspective, it's reassuring. I'd like more perspectives though.
Bumping again.

I'm in the same boat lmao, growing out your hair is hell
I feel more comfortable in "guy" clothes, though, so I'm probably going to stick to it, wearing girly clothes makes me feel ugly and autistic
you ain't gotta "see yourself as a girl", you're just a person who happens to be female

Like having a girl living with you that in many a case carries most of your father's traits. Sexual notions are disgusting and never considered if that's what you were wondering.

They're a lot bitchier when they're in that "teen" phase. My sis used to be borderline evil, she cool now tho.
>I-incest..?
No, unless your subhuman it's not normal to feel anything, shit is weird bottom line. I feel like most people into it didn't have sisters so they don't understand what it's like and how weird it is.

All my life I've been like the lion. I've been outcasted, sent on a journey of pain to become the strongest. So I can selfishly watch my pack and command them through fear to get what I want.
I am a power hungry predator...but I'm not sure if it's who I truly am. Am I just a self fulfilling prophecy? I met this pretty girl who's been sweet to me despite the barriers I put up on all. I liked her, but when I passed her and surprised her, she let out a terrified yelp. I felt like a silent horror movie killer like Jason Voorhees. I didn't like the way it felt. The man that I've become is not truly who I want to be around those I care for...this is really hard to think about

The story of male lions, their journies to reach maturity is like mine. It was a struggle, but now that it's complete I'm a selfish predator standing on a pile of bodies, with my mere presence enough to command others.

My boyfriend's high school sweetheart committed suicide when she was 16. Both me and him are 22 and he hasnt gotten over it. He's been seeing a therapist as long as I've met him but it doesn't seem to be getting better. The more I become closer to him the more I realize that he still loves her and he isn't willing to let go. It hurts me deeply and I hate to say that I'm jealous, but this is not about that. It's been 6 years and it's only getting worse. He's starting to come back late sometimes and I suspect that he's been visiting her grave. When we're out with mates hes always smily and happy but once we're back he seems so dissatisfied and lonely. Whenever i ask him whats up he tells me that he just cant let it go. Seeing him like this hurts.
What can I do?

Hey I need some quick advice
So I'm in my 1st semester of college right now, but I'm going to quit as soon as this semester is over. I came to the realization that college is not for me. Anyways, my question is, I think I'm failing or will fail my Russian 101 class, should I just drop that class now, or should I just stick it out for another 1.5 months? I really don't think I'm going to pass because I can't keep up with the class. It's a hard language and I'm not learning fast enough. So what should I do?

Hey guys. I haven't gotten laid in over a year. I'm guy. I'm not ugly. I go to the gym regularly so I look pretty good. But I like to stay humble. I'm pretty confident. And I'm not an asshole towards woman. But for some reason I just can't get laid. I need help

This. The few times I've had something going with girls is when I mildly bully them a bit.
>>
You don't need to be an asshole--I've been called the sweet/nice/whatever by every girl i've ever slept with/dated/whatever--you just need to not give a fuck and exude confidence.
That's not to say that giving zero fucks alone will get you laid, but being too try-hard and coming off as desperate will definitely block you.

How am I supposed to cope? I'm chronically sleep-deprived, haven't been to all of the lectures, and am awake at 04:38 trying to finish a problem set due for 09:00. And now I'm damned to be unsatisfied with my subject. I don't have time to cry about this but I did. How can I handle 6h of labs per week? How the fuck do I pay attention to circuit theory?
I regret my life decisions rather thoroughly... I should have done some fucking essay subjects. I knew I wanted to do physphil all along, really. Fuck. All my hopes rested on the switch.
Helpppp :(
I don't even know what I'm asking for.. I'm probably just going to stick with what I've chosen because I'm a hopeless coward.
How do I not feel like shit about choosing the wrong degree?
Fuck, I can not be bothered with today. Fuck labs, seriously. I need to sleep.. so badly..

Just finish your current degree and get a Master's or PhD in Philosophy. Come to the US if you have to.

>>16454184
That's at least another three years away.. it seems like such a huge and unnecessary length of time to spend doing something I half-don't-enjoy.
I might just resign myself to failure. At least then I can sleep.
The worst thing is not being able to read in my spare time due to either being too tired or having to work or seeing friends.

My university offers 'post-grad diplomas' that allow you to basically do nothing but a handful of papers from a major. Perhaps look into whether yours offers something like that so you can fulfil the philosophy requirements?
What reason could a girl have to suddenly become a huge bitch?

Here's the story (i tried asking yesterday but no replies):
This girl i've been having technological contact with for the past years but never meat suddenly went to a complete bitch. Trying to make me angry and insulting me over something stupid. And with something stupid I mean literally something stupid. An irrelevant opinion about clothing.
Now I know her for years and we always talk eventhough we've never met. I kinda like to have her as a contact but i'm not in love or anything. She may like/have liked me at some point but nothing serious. I would fuck her, not more.
But anyway I kinda need a female contact to talk to about whatever.
She really tries to make mad and keeps insulting and being a huge bitch compared to previous years and i'm thinking about a few things.
1) Ignoring it. Which will make me look and also feel like a weak faggot.
2) Cease contact and block her, which could be something i'll regret and I will be even more lonely since I dont have many people to talk to.
3) Get angry at her, possible scare/ruin it with her or make her block me.
What do?
>>
>>16454148
Are you a faggot? I ask because only a faggot would think that cutting contact with someone who insults him and treats him like shit is something he might regret.
So what in the actual fuck is wrong with you, OP?
>>
>>16454157
its not just 'an insult', its like went completely against me and trying to destroy me on purpose.
I can stand an insult or 2 but obviously its more than that

Ok guys, there is this girl who's a good friend of mine. She's witty, smart, funny and is joyful, her negative sides are that she can be naive, insecure, weird beause of her insecurity and inferiority complex.
I met her through my best friend two years ago. During those years we barely caught up with each other doing something. Last months ive been seeing her more in her town than in my city. (I live in a city, she lives in a small town 11-14km far from my place)
The thing is, lately whenever i wanted to meet her, she always wants me to go to her town, which makes me obliged to ask my best friend to sleep at his house (for him, this is no problem at all, to me it kind of bothers me so much always asking people if i can spend a nigbt at their place.) im 24 and have no car, i still study, transportation in belgium costs a lot. She, on the other hand, has a car (she's spoiled by her parents) and she can move anywhere, even coming to my city.
Now to bring the real issue to the topic. Everytime i ask her to do something together, its always at her dull dead town or if I ask her to hang out at my place she always insists on taking a friend with her. Why cant I enjoy my friendship with her alone? (i have no love/sexual intentions with her.) my assumption is that she's scared of something (maybe thinking that i want something with her)
Lately everytime time she texts or calling me asking asking what im doing and when I reply that i have no plans at the moment and suggest to do something together, she always tells me that that she's gonna see what she wants to do and that she leaves my suggestion as an option.
Ive got a feeling that she's becoming more meaningless to me. Could anyone give me some good advice?

She's just not all that into you.
>>
>>16454230
What makes you think that?
We also often talk on fb and thats what eating. We always talk on fb and also the things she wants to do fun stuf together but it never came in practice.
>>
>>16454129
I think it's pretty clear that she doesn't really like you or is not interested by you.
It might come off as her just being shy and insecure, but really when a girl says "i'm gonna leave your suggestion as an option" she's not saying it to be nice. It's really because she doesn't care about you, but if her friend has nothing else to do, they might show up.
Just forget about her, you already hate her dull dead town anyway.

I don't think this is what you're looking for, but I couldn't get hard for my ex. She just wasn't good looking enough for me, although I think most people would think she was wonderful.
I dunno, maybe it wasn't her looks. And, she would have done anything I asked.
I regret nothing.
>>
>>16454096
whatever the answer, just remember that being single can lead to less sex for an even longer time. just think about it.
im pro independence but if this si the issue try to think about how big an issue it is and where its going.
though if you've already settled into a sexless routine and the good sex portion of the relationship is over, i do advise you move on if you cant et her going
>>
>>16454314
It's good that you broke up with her.
My boyfriend refuses to break up despite our shitty sex life.
I am so bored with it and considering a break up.
