I'm 22 and my upper teeth are completely wrecked and jagged. I never received dental care growing up and my hygiene is poor. So poor that I have cavities on 4-6 upper teeth on the sides(both sides of each) due to not flossing I think. It doesn't hurt or anything yet.
I'm looking to get treatment now because I commute to school by train, and I heard people complain about me snoring for the first time. I didn't know I snored, but apparently snoring, and my inability to speak properly are caused by my huge overbite. It's gotten so bad that my face/mouth are warped due to how the teeth are protruding. I have a permanent "frown" due to the front teeth poking forward moving my lips into an asymmetric shape. I figured I should get this all taken care of before I get any older.
How long is the process to correct cavities? Can I get an appointment and get this done in less than a week/month? Does it hurt? I know braces and overbite correction would take years to get done.
Correcting cavities is called either getting fillings, or having to have those teeth pulled out, depending on how bad it is. How long it takes depends on what you need to have done.

Should I be concerned my mother has breast cancer?
I'm 18 and I'm not sure if I should he worried or not, I don't know if she'll life to my old age or not.
She's smoked for 40 years so I am far from surprised.
Maybe its because I know she's in poor health and I don't want to be upset for when she passes, which is why I didn't feel anything when she told me.
Maybe its because breast cancer isn't that bad?
Is it?
Someone tell me what's going on.

Consider prostitution. Once you've experienced enough sexually with a woman you might be able to face up to this challenge a bit better.

Every time
The though of regret & passage of time makes me incapable of making any meaningful decisions, because there will be always something I did not choose which I might possibly regret later on in life, this state makes me stay in some kind of limbo without any progress, plans and ideas for future.
I don't know how to deal with it. Every time I need to make a decision I can't decide, should I take this job or that one? If I do this, I won't ever be able to meaningfully experience another thing, maybe third option is a way? Or maybe I should drop this and move out and find my luck somewhere else. Should I concentrate on learning this or that? Any side, has its own merits and I can't possibly weight them right now because I've got no knowledge and cannot predict the development of those actions.
I don't really know what I want, I kept trying different things in life, different occupations and approaches. I'm tired of quitting and starting anew all the time.
Purposefully I didn't state what exactly those problems are, because I don't think it is that important. I feel paralysed at thought of bad choices, because I've made plenty of them in the past. I'm now 27 and feel like this is the last moment to take a proper course with my life, but because of the problem above, I've been sitting on my ass for the past 6 months. I wonder what being 27 y/o is, for me it's the oldest I've ever been, but I'll never be younger so I'll have to roll it.
Them Zeppelins sang about two paths one can go by, that there is always time to change to road you are on, but I don't know about that anymore.
>>18719001
I think rather than occupying your mind about trivial decisions about your work life or the direction of your life in general, you've highlighted the major problem that persists through all of your decision making.
You're afraid and fear will paralyze any opportunity that could create for yourself.
"Life's simple, you make choices and don't look back"
you need to find confidence in your decisions, and stick to them. Not fear them. This comes from your own idea of self-confidence - but right now it seems you have none - most likely due to the fact that you've never made a decision confidently and thus, have not been able to enjoy the benefits or good feelings of making them because you've never really been 100%.
Try to challenge yourself to make strong decisions, and sticking to them. You'll find that eventually, you'll make a good one - and that will build the confidence you have in yourself to continue pursuing the things you truly want to do, instead of worrying about the things that may go wrong.
If it's about other people, your relationships and opinions about you, just remember: People don't remember your failures, but will be the first to bring up your successes.
so just go for it, what are you worried about, at this point, your worrying has only gotten you to this point, right?
I understand this feeling and how I'm dealing with it at 21 is to imagine the what ifs. What if I took that major? What kind influences would I have missed? What kind of person would I be if I went that route? Basically I try to rationalize the gain from the decision I made by appreciating its lessons and thinking about what lessons a different decision would have taught me.
>>18719009
This is well thought and it makes sense, although it doesn't really convince me, I maybe need to read it more than once or twice. You know, like you can't just "cure" a person with simple motivational poster.
The confidence issue is a problem, I keep second guessing myself constantly, I changed my life directions thrice to this point and even though at the time of choosing new, I had run multiple scenarios where I could see that work out and make me finally happy or at least at ease, where I made lists for & against, everything I could to make the right decision, and after three, six months, a year I find myself lying in bed, face covered with tears and thoughts: "What have I done, I need to fix this". And by fix I usually mean revert or change to something else. A new start. A new start again.
I have came to a conclusion now, that if I'm not satisfied with anything I did and tried, maybe those things aren't the problem but I'm, like the saying "If you smell shit everywhere you go...", or maybe something less vulgar like "Grass is always greener..."
That's why even though in the past I made those decisions more confidently, this confidence wasn't build on solid foundation as it turned out later, and right now I'm not having any of it, hence the fear and feeling of helplessness.
Deep down I know that I'm not that all bad and worthless honestly, it seems (like you also pointed out) that I somehow know the roots of my problems, but it doesn't seem enough to convince me otherwise.
Anyone else get performance anxiety? How do you deal with it?
>>18718976
I deal with it by not masturbating.
Ask her if it's OK with her to have a prostate massager inside you while you're fucking her.
Or live out your sexual fantasies with her consent.
Or watch porn while you're fucking her.
If she yells at you when you don't perform, then politely tell her that yelling at your dick to get erect faster doesn't help and that, in fact, it only makes things worse.
Instead, ask her to indulge you in some naughty, but sexy, talk.
ok so im a little bitch whos deppressed and shy i act like im really fuckin happy at school but i need help really bad , so theres this girl at school who i really like and when i like some one i dont just have a crush on them i wuold do anything for them any back to the story i dont know if she likes me or doesnt and she looks at me sometimes and i dont nkow anything frome that shes single from what isaw on facebook and i want to date her but i dont know how to ask her

When the first post is also the best one.
I'm kind of seeing this guy who I have almost everything in common with. We have the same political views on basically everything (which is rare in my city) and we can't stop talking when we see each other, the conversations never end when we hang out. He's also not that bad to look at, either. LOL
But the emotional high when I'm around him isn't there. I hang out with him and I don't feel the "high" that people tend to get when they start seeing someone..... What do I do about this?
Sorry if this is too "real" for 4chan... hehe
>>18718965
Not everything in life is, waiting for that feeling or the butterflies. That's just made up bs. If you click, then you click. Don't get caught up in trivial things.
But I'm ALWAYS the super emotional one when I start dating someone..... Why the hell is this time different???

Why not? You're a desperate virgin. There's no downside here.
You're fretting too much over the virginity thing anon.
I too was once in your position and once I lost it I realized it never mattered in the first place. If you wait for a special someone and then date that person for years or even marriage then youll possibly regret not sleeping around more. A constant "what if".
>>18718870
Similar situation.
I say go for it. That's what I'd do. I really think just losing the v/fucking for the first time will make me feel so much more at ease - because a lot of my personal insecurity comes from the fact that I'm 24 and have zero sexual experience/skill. There's been a few times now when legitimately attractive girls have come after me in parties/clubs and i gtfo because i'm terrified of performing terribly.
I'd say don't feel bad - you get to gain experience, while the girl gets to fuck out of her league. Just fuck once or a couple times, and then end it (like any Tinder deal).
halp, what do?

At the back end of the day I've begun getting blurry vision, inability to focus and my mind goes into some sort of disassociation. It lasts until I sleep and wake up, but my sleeping pattern is so bad that's not for another 6 hours now probably.
Some reasons I can think for this
>I smoked marijuana for the first time recently
(Unlikely but I'll mention it anyway)
>I'm very lonely and a shut in
(Perhaps I'm going insane? Who knows)
>I stare at my phone screen all day
(Only breaks being going to the gym or for a run, which isn't that much time out of my day)
>diabetes
(I was diagnosed with high blood pressure recently, so maybe?)
>problems falling asleep
(Despite struggling to fall asleep I still get 12+ hours every single night because I can cause I'm a NEET)
I've also noticed my hair has been coming out a fair bit. My pillow has a concerning amount of hair on it.
What do you think?
ve had the exact same thing when i smoked, its called depersonailizaton. myself and many of my friends have gotten this after getting super blazed. I was in it for 3 months, not knowing shit about it. i suggest you get exercise and start eating healthy. or switch up what you are doing now and do different and cool shit. good luck dude, i understand what you are going through and it fucking sucks. With the hair thing falling out, that just might be genetics and you are noticing it because of the funk and overreacting, if it gets worse, take a supplement like niacin and/or biotin.
>>18718852
Oh fuck alright. Honest to God it was only one time, but I did smoke a lot.
I'll research it more, thanks man.
Any tips for getting over a fear of letting people down?
I find that if I have to do something that only affects me, I can he really good at it and I have tons of confidence. Like there's a lot of cringy shit I do in real life that I just laugh off and I think my friends appreciate that. But if it's a group activity or a team sport or when I'm with a girl, I always feel like I'm not good enough, like no matter how well I do, unless I'm perfect, they will be disappointed. Part of me thinks this stems from issues I have with my parents but that's kind of irrelevant since I don't talk to them much anymore. I have gone to therapy for other things and that helped a little bit but not much.

That's the thing is for the most part I don't, I'm a pretty big goof and generally really laid back and comfortable with myself. And even if i have rational/empirical evidence that people don't pay that much attention to my flaws or inadequacies in certain situations I can't help but worry about it.
How do I get a girl off the street to kick me in my balls for money? What do I need to say to them to put them at ease and follow me to a semi secluded spot where I can kneel down (so they don't have to lift their leg that high when they kick me) and maybe even hug me afterwards?
I'd have the money ready, I'm average looking, clean shaven, as I live in a medium sized town there probably aren't any professional full time doms I can find locally so I'd have to travel and I'd much rather get a girl off the street willing to cause me pain and maybe even enjoy it.
So what exactly do I need to say to them?
>>18718758
It is called BDSM and you being masochist. Basically locate a whore and tell her you are into CBT aka cock and ball torture. Brothel sounds like first place you can try.
And now, approaching random normies on street will just put you into sex offender registry. Try sites like fetlife and find somebody as degenerate as yourself.

Find a girl who looks like she's addicted to drugs.
Don't want to give too much information about myself. I'm 22 at this year, just finished my studies and suddenly am dragged into the military due to a contract. Yet I feel like I'm stuck being a teenager. I had a girlfriend 4 years ago, I don't have that much friends but at the same moment I don't feel any strong compulsion to make friends. Should I become acquainted with this loneliness? Or does putting myself out there and pursuing hedonistic interaction has its perks? Even when I had a girlfriend (and that was considered the apex of my interaction with people) I didn't exactly feel it was that much rewarding or meaningful to me.
>>18718748
>I don't feel any strong compulsion to make friends
>loneliness
Which is it?
If you don't feel lonely when you are alone you aren't lonely but you are alone.
I know a feel like this. I had friends and a life once so I feel vaidated but as I've spent more time alone I've come to prefer it, and even though people seem to like me and old acquaintances are always reaching out I really just want to give up on living that kind of life.
And why not? Since giving up other people I don't smoke cigarettes and I've cut out sugar and anything that's hard to pronounce. I'm in the best shape of my life, got a 6 pack and I just do push ups and shit at home. I am lonely but I don't miss feeling beneath people, and so far the loneliness has gotten easier to deal with so seriously why bother with people? I get that there's some benefits but I truly feel that I function better existing on the fringe.
My dog has been itching and chewing a lot lately (the past 3 days or more). His skin looks pretty red underneath his fur and feels kinda hot to the touch.
I have anti-itch spray but it doesn't seem to do much. I've given him benadryl and that doesn't seem to help either.
I just bathed him with some epsom salt but as soon as he was dry he turned around and started chewing :(
What's weird is that his whole back toward his butt seems to be one big "spot". Meaning I can't even run my hand over it without him doing that ticklish shiver and going to do the leg thing.
Obviously, if I have to take him to the vet, I will..but he is an absolute terror. He goes full on Cujo and it takes atleast 2 vet techs to hold him down, plus I risk my life just getting him on the table.
Any solutions?
sometimes dogs have to wear a cone to get them to stop chewing themselves.
but anyways, if it's hot to the touch that indicates an infection. so it may already be too late and you may have to put him down because you were afraid to take him in.
maybe you shouldn't have a dog you're too weak to dominate
but yeah, he probably needs antibiotics and a cone. or it could be a bunch of other things, you pretty much need a vet at this point. if you have the money then bringing him in should be the least of your concerns, vets are trained to deal with unruly dogs even if you can't.
