I'm 18 and about to go to University yet I feel way younger than anyone I know. I can't help seeing myself as I was when I first started secondary (high) school.
It messes with my confidence, and I want to be confident going in to uni.
I've not got a dad as such, is this the cause? I would like to feel my age.
>I've not got a dad as such, is this the cause?
no, you're just stupid. not having a dad is a ridiculous excuse for feeling young and I strongly suspect feeling young is your excuse for failing to meet whatever goals you've set for yourself. You're shitty and should not feel confident going to school or anyplace else.

lmfao, thanks. I presume you want some reaction out of me but I'm not going to bite.
I appreciate you taking the time to reply however.
Start accepting responsibilities into your life. The more things you need to manage or take care of (and are able to handle), the more agency you'll feel you have over your life
Once you feel like you have actual control over how your life plays out, you will feel like an adult
When a girl is giving signals that she is into me, what should I do?
I'm very retarded when it comes to that so give me a step by step plan how to proceed
>>18552739
A surefire way to know if she is interested is just to ask her out.
Hey /adv/,
which education should I persue?
Medicine or electrical engineering?
I honestly find them both very interesting but since they are so vastly different I have no idea which one to pick. Any advice?
Any medfags here that can tell me what kind of ass cancer I've got?
Worms! Oh what fun you've got to go through
What books or sites do you recommend for going into college algebra? It'll be my 4th time taking because I'm fucking stupid

stop trying to take college algebra if you can't even grasp it and start over at pre-algebra and then algebra 1
I thought sleeping with other women would help with not being loved by the one you love but it's not.
What else can I do? It's ruining my chances with other attractive women cause they can sense I'm not quite "there"
>>18552544
GET A FUCKING HOBBY
>>18552553
I have but I can't get into the flow cause I literally wake up thinking about her :(
Hit the gym.
So, in short, I ended up having a fling for this girl last summer for about a month before she eventually ended it and then left for university
I saw her via mutual friends a few weeks ago and then she asked me to hang out yesterday, and we spent a few hours talking and catching up. She's been through a lot of shit (slept around with some guys, had her heart broken, was sexually assaulted), and I'm not sure if it's her usual habit of slightly oversharing or if she needed someone to talk to. I think it might be both
But for some reason it kept me up all night. I think it's because we're in different places in life. She's discovering her sexuality while I'm staying at home after dropping out and I of course have had only one experience in the past year, with her (I was over her after about a month though, when we broke up).
I like her a lot still though. I have no idea how she feels about me, because she never really gave any clear signals during our last hangout. I enjoy just spending time with her, and I'm thinking of asking her out. But given her past experiences, and the fact that she seems more into hooking up with people, I don't know how to broach the subject.
I'm caught between straight up asking her out, or telling her my feelings. Is it dumb to just ask if she likes me?
If she rejected me, I'd still hangout with her to be honest; I enjoy being around her. But then I dont' know if I'm being a massive cuck or what.
Any advice on how I should handle this? I know I'm overthinking, but I'm not exactly keen on making a fool of myself by going about it the wrong way
>>18552542
Bump, nobody?
>>18552542
Man, start getting your life together before worrying about some girl who obviously is a slut. You have more pressing matters to care about such as getting back to uni.
You sound like you're still not over her. I guess she can tell and she's using you as an emotional crutch.
Spill the beans and tell her how you feel. If she isn't into you, move on. No point in talking yourself into "oh well, I got rejected but I guess we can still hang around.. r-right?"
No need to get caught up in someone elses BS when you're just looking to get your dick wet.
How do I move to a big city like Atlanta? I just want roommates and hopefully find a place that's like 4-600 and just wait tables or some shit.
My girlfriend left for a 1 month charity trip with a church group. We have been together for almost 4 months. She's really in love with me, I'm her first boyfriend too. She's really cool girl, marriage material, honestly.
She left one week ago and I'm really missing her, but the problem is that I'm afraid out feelings will fade towards each other.
She initiates conversations on facebook, we also talked over phone once. She usually writes me in the morning, because only then do they have wifi. I usually, just reply to her messages in a few hours and she replies the next day.
I guess it's a good thing that she wants to talk and initiates conversations which means that she hasn't lost attraction. But how do I keep the spark? There are 3 more weeks to go.
If I don't initiate conversations at all she may feel like IDGAF. If we talk too much that's also bad. What's the ideal spot? I really hate writing messages, because that makes me miss her even more and I feel like it's just empty shit in desperate hope to not drift apart. I honestly fucking hate that she left in this moment when things were going to be so good. Should we not talk at all until she comes back?
Most of all I'm afraid that when she comes back things won't be the same and I'll have to break up with her. I really don't want to do that, because she's a good person and relationship material. My friends tell me that I should break up with her, but I don't want to do that as she is the only girl I've met up until now that I actually care to try something with.
What to do anons?
>>18552501
You won't forget her in one month, anon. It's okay to talk about mundane things for the next three weeks, try to ask her lots of questions about the place and how she's doing, or just about general interests. Just don't become too pushy or demanding of attention, nobody likes that. You'll feel like the spark is fading, but when she comes back you'll feel as if you had fallen in love again, talking from personal experience
>>18552535
Thanks bro!
Until now she was initiating all conversations and I was just replying. I feel its a good position to be in but she could get up with only her doing the work. Do you think that could be the case? How often should I initiate first?
I was thinking about sending her some picture of us on our anniversary in few days.
>>18552569
Yeah, letting her initiate conversation and you just replying to her could end up making her feel like she's an annoyance or that you don't care enough. There isn't a set amount of times you should start conversation, however doing it at least every couple of days would be good. You could even just send her one nice picture you saw and thought she'd like seeing, those small gestures girls like, that could spark up conversation.
That anniversary idea is cute desu, good luck
So i really want to just fuck around with my body and mental health, so i wondered: is there a way to get schizophrenia, depression, borderline etc.
THIS IS LEGIT, I'M NOT JOKING.
I don't care about your well being, but why do you want to do this exactly? Curious.
>>18552459
You're a fucking idiot.
I would give anything to not have to deal with the mental issues I have and to have the people I care about free of them as well and you come on here asking how to get them because you want to fuck around. Fuck you OP.
>>18552459
Long term meth use will awaken any latent psychiatric powers, and perhaps develop new ones. Ask your local skinhead or southsider how to get started, they'll be very helpful.
I got went to a top 10 school for electrical engineering. I wanted to do art or design but immigrant parents said fuck that shit become doctor.jpg. Despite failing grades I was determined to "stick with it" and not drop out like a pussy. Then I got kicked out of the engineering college after 3 years for failing over and over again. I'm garbage at pretty much everything they tried to teach me so I have 0 carry over tech skills. I ended up spending an additional year to squeeze in and get a bullshit liberal arts major just so I could get a degree and not drop out completely. On paper I've got a <2.3 GPA with a non "difficult major" on my transcript so nobody will ever take me seriously in an academic context.
Somefucking how a year ago I landed a >50k paper pushing job in a high cost living area, it's essentially peanuts here. I'm in a lot of debt and i have no fucking clue how to recover and move forward with my life. My job is depressing as fuck and i flirt with suicide ideation on the reg. Worst of all all of my peers and family are super accomplished highly educated high earning mofos who seemingly love their life's so i feel like double the fucking failure.
Is enduring this pain and frustration gods way of punishing me for fucking up in school? Is it possible to come back from this in one piece? My original dream was to work as a graphics designer or some shit for a hip studio but I have no idea how to get into that lifestyle, at this rate what if I get too old?
Are you able to live independently on the money you earn?
What do you find so depressing about your job?
Have you found anything online that explains how people become graphics designers?
University is the new household. Men start their own shit.
>>18552407
I pay my living expenses myself and don't have much left to save ATM.
My job is boring as fuck because I'm a basically a glorified secretary filing word documents and helping old people print shit. There is nothing I'm learning on the job that will help me with what I want to do. There's 0 room from creativity. It's dull as shit and I'm burned out just from enduring the boredom.
Ive done my research it's all about the portfolio, I've taken some online classes and am trying practice work before I start freelancing for free on the side. I'm broken every day after work and the road ahead of grinding freelance work for some dudes pizza shop for free after a 10+ hour day for god knows how many years is just daunting. I just want to pull the plug and kill myself or just take an entire set of new loans out and start my entire life from scratch with grad school or a second bachelors or something.
Just got out of /b/ and am emotionally upset of what I saw and read... What do you guys do to feel better after visiting there...
>>18552379
/b is only for too young kids who dont have enough brain power to realize how bad all the stuff is there or for very mentally resistant jaded individuals.
You probably grew up from retarded kid phase into dumb teen phase and therefore you shloudnt return there ever. Try some other lite boards like /int or /lit.
Stay safe.
>>18552379
What the other goy said
I stopped going mid 2013 after first being on there for three years straight.
ever since then I've been on R9k but recently stopped that too.
I seem to only be on blue boards most of the time until things get really boring
t. former woman hating autist (till i got a gf)
>>18553594
>stops hating women just because he got a girlfriend
You have much to learn, my boy.
my dad has been a drunk for most of his life and all of mine. he used to make a shit load of money on wall street but now he can't even do simple math problems thanks to all the booze. since he isn't making a ton of money anymore, my mom found some new guy that has a ton of money to take care of her. she started dating him about a year ago, and the divorce only went through a couple of weeks ago. my dad just found out that shes been with this other dude and he called me saying he was all fucked up and didn't want to go on living anymore. it's not like i have anything against my dad, but i'd rather see my mom happy with this new guy compared to being miserable with my dad, even if it means shes a straight up gold-digger. i'm just sick of dealing with all his bullshit. he's supposed to be the adult here, and my mom only left him because he refused to get a job and just drank all their savings away. just man up and quit drinking. what's so hard about that?
>>18552307
I mean, it's not quite as easy as "just stop drinking". A guy who's been drinking as long as him will probably go through physical withdrawal, which can literally kill you. You need to talk him into going to rehab or a detox program so he can come off alcohol safely. It's a very challenging and difficult thing to do. Addition is no joke.
Dont know if this is the right place to ask but whatever. When a girl is giving me head, and they reach the tip and stay there for a moment i dont like it, i wouldnt say it hurts but i dont feel pleasure at all and usually tell them to stop, they make a wtf face and i dont feel ok when they do that. Its maybe because my dick is too sensitive? The dont make it right? Thanks
>>18552283
They're Prolly just taking a breath?
The head is the most sensitive part and many men adore elaborate attention to it. So it's not really weird that they try this. If it's an unpleasant sensation that isn't quite pain, just tell them it's too sensitive for you instead of straight up telling them to knock it off - that could be construed as you thinking they're not doing a good job.
What should a guy say when he sees a random hottie at the beach, a library, a store, a mall etc ?
Examples:
>Hi, my name's ..... what's yours ?
>Hi, your t-shirt/dress looks cool.
>Hi, I want to talk to you because you're the prettiest girl here.
>Wow, you look great/gorgeous, let's go on a date so I can get to know you.
>Hi, how's your day been so far ?
Let's say he's never known what to say to babes.
Should a guy who gets rejected frequently not bother when it comes to talking/flirting with random girls ?
Should he learn from pick-up artists ?
that shit never works.
>>18552255
First step is to treat them as dudes. Dont put them on peadastal. They are humans with interests. Treat them like that. Your first line is good. Throw in random joke and question about what they are doing and you are golden.
PUA is scam. When complimenting people, focus on their personal traits, not their looks.
>wow you are so clever
is always better than
>wow, your boobs are so huge

Still, your success rate will be like 1%. And always ask them for their phone number. And smile. Be polite, dont invade their personal space much, SMILE and be geniue. Dont pretend to be soebody else. Eye contact and smiling like idiot before you talk to them is good start.
That shit works in movies, if you're a 10/10, or famous.
It. Does. Not. Work. In. Real. Life.
You need some kind of common ground. Like the most fairytale girl i've ever had, she worked at a local coffee shop so she knew me. And i asked her out one day.
But if i was a first time customer and asked her out, she would've been creeped out.
