My GF and her ex have a kid together. This kid is 24 years old and went to the beach 2 hours away. This kid has anxiety and sometimes has panic attacks behind the wheel. He got one when he was supposed to head back to his dad's house and wouldn't get back in the car. My GF then had to drive to his location to bring him back. Her mom and dad were busy and couldn't come with her to drive his car back so the dad/her ex went with her. 2 hours in a car by themselves. I didn't find out until she was already heading home (I texted her first about future plans). Should I be bothered by this at all? I am bothered by this but it might be due to insecurity.

Hi /adv/,

I started a new job about a month ago. I work on the machines at a drug-testing facility, but I have a weak background in chemistry and absolutely zero experience working in a lab. I was very upfront about this in my interview, because I originally applied for a position that didn't require any of that stuff. However, my boss said they needed a lab tech more than another accessioner (the job I applied for), so she'd take a chance with me because I'm a great student and she knows that my friend in IT is a competent person.

I'm learning a lot every day, and I've definitely made huge improvements since starting, but a slew of minor fuck-ups, plus an extra-medium fuck-up today, have me very anxious. This has all been exacerbated by the fact that people usually aren't very chatty, so I have virtually no concept of what anybody thinks of me, either personally or professionally. This even includes the girl training me. Most of the time she's very helpful and even a bit friendly, but when I make mistakes, she seems to get really frustrated with me, and that's what sticks in my mind. It makes me feel like she and everybody else at the lab think I'm a nuisance and a total waste of time. This sucks because it's my first job out of college, and I actually like it a lot.

I'd like to ask her what she thinks of my performance so far, and whether she thinks that I'm improving quickly enough. In fact, I've been thinking about doing it every night for a week now. I still haven't gotten around to it though, because my confidence vanishes as soon as I walk into work. I worry that she might tell me that I'm a piece of shit or that she might find my question too forward, or that she might lie to spare my feelings. While I'm at work, I'm perpetually embarrassed, frustrated, and scared, so much so that I'm afraid to talk to anybody about it. I don't know what to do.

If you guys have any advice or similar experiences that you could toss my way, I'd appreciate it.

you just have to stop fucking up. I mean i know it sounds easy, but just make sure you are trying your best.
it is ok to make mistakes, it is part of the learning process. but if you keep making the same mistakes over and over.... you aren't learning.
I've trained a lot of newcomers in the various jobs I've had and I understand that these trainees are still learning. It sounds like your trainer isn't a POS so you should be able to learn a lot from her. The best thing you can ask her is for her to clearly state your mistakes. that way you know what to work on.

I just recently started dating this very pretty woman who I met at a bar. We hit it off on fire and were making out the same night. She's a little coy and softspoken, but I kind of like that. I assumed she was younger than myself (24). However, I took her to a movie yesterday and figured out that she's actually 32. This honestly blew me away, and I don't really know what to think about it. 8 years doesn't seem that bad, but 24 to 32 has such a huge lifestyle change I feel. Can it work?

pic sort of related. she looks like a young, brunette Drew Barrymore.

Yes it can work if you both want to be with each other more than a hook up. I say go for it. Just make sure she's not married.

Each person has to decide for themselves. From a purely biological perspective, many of her good years are used up and she will soon reach the point where her kids have higher chances of birth defects and not being able to have kids altogether.

I knew a girl that was super into me like all over my dick into me who was 6 years older then me and that was enough for me to not even consider it. Just wasn't interesting to me.

32 and met her a bar? I dunno dude. I wouldn't get too serious with her.

When I'm out partying with friends, usually at bar, I'm often meeting new people and I have absolutely no problem talking to anyone and being pleasant and have fun with everyone

However, sometimes I meet a girl that makes me go "damn, this girl is cute, I would like to do something more with her" but I have ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING IDEA OF WHAT TO SAY, so I end up talking like if it was just another person that I've just met

what the fuck am I supposed to say?

Bump for interest

>>18552880
"Be yourself." You hear that time and again. What it means is that you just address them how you would address one of your guy friends. Girls are people as well, the difference being this girl doesn't know you, know she wouldn't be approached unless you thought she was cute, and you want to give it to her.

No difference.

Approach these girls only at the right time. Casual flirting, trying to get the number from a waitress is fine. Trying to get a table with her after her shift is not. Hit up some bars, talk about her clothes, her looks, the dumbass in a booth, whatever. "Have I seen you before?" as a legitimate question instead of a pickup line is my usual thing. Not exactly for picking up though. That's different.
>>
Stop being a cuck, and gauge her interest level first to avoid awkwardness. A woman knows if she's gonna fuck you or not in the first 10 seconds of interaction. There's no magic formula, but DO NOT show any signs of nervousness or fear. Women are more emotional than men and will feel nervous and freaked out because YOU ARE. Don't smile, you'll look like a faggot. At best smirk arrogantly or not at all.

Women already know you're trying to fuck, but they're trying to see if you're actually cool or just faking it. You have to believe you're the hottest shit in the world.

If she is already interested she'll laugh at whatever dumbass shit you say. I don't recommend just approaching strangers (even at a party) but if you must then just open with something that will pique her interest higher, and just escalate. Think of all the lame shit a guy would say to a girl and avoid it. You're not here to discuss 2deep4u philosophy or talk about how pretty she is for half an hour. You're here to fuck. Keep it fun and mindless, like you're speaking to a teenager.

I do actually lift and run and I think that's my problem. I get very sweaty and acne where I sweat.

I've still got lots :/

Some might be ingrown hairs. I get lots of my chin hair.

Is there anything I can do about getting rid of a birth mark?
It was never this bad as a kid but as the years went on it just sorta got a lot bigger, and being on my back I never really noticed it.
There's a tiny bit above my butt which is most annoying since I get paranoid during sex someone will think it's dried poop.

From my back though, it goes up in a tiny trail, like the dots in the second picture up to my neck, across my right shoulder and down to my boobs and mid way down my right arm.
It's only recently it's become to make me a bit self-concious since there's also skin tags forming around the areas, especially on my neck

You should contact a dermatologist and properly they will present you with options. I am guessing some sort of laser treatment is in order.
>>
>>18552785
That's the plan, i was just wondering if others might have had something done. Laser seems promising but it'd be pretty expensive
Also for whatever reason the marks on my chest are raised up a bit so no idea how they'd effect it

It's kinda gotten to the point were i'm worried it's skin cancer or something
>>
>>18552804
Well I hope it isn't cancer, and yeah laser treatment is expensive. I dont think there is anything you can do about it youself. The ones on your chest are barely noticeable though.

The therapist that worked for me was Mindfulness based, try and look for that, may work for you too.

Also don't be afraid to cry I didn't and I think it hindered me a bit
>>
You have 2 choices:
1. Ask your regular doctor for a referral
2a. Call your health care provider and ask them
2b. Go online to your health care provider and search for one

Optional:
Some insurance comes with EAP (employee assistance program.
Call them up and ask for help.

Are you sure the timetable is right? I mean, first checks are usually the longest because checks are always 1 week behind from the actual hours. Like lif you started work on the 1st of the month is a Monday, you shouldn't get paid until like 19th on a Friday.
>>
>>18552728

keep calling, keep calling every day to everyone, make them know you mean business and you won't back down. Make them know by the fact that you call, that they know who's calling them without them picking up the phone.

Speak to your manager and make them write a note or something to give to HQ because they keep doing the blaiming game right. Get on paper that everything's cool at the bank and get that to HQ. Ask HQ if you can see the deposit dates to your account or the account you use the money from you get from work. Get the depositpapers to the bank and look if they can figure out if they ever received anything.

GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING OP

You could also make your story a tiny bit worse to keep the pressure up if it may help.

good luck

I think my bf might be too sexual. He talks about sex all the time. It doesn't get me that he likes sex or anything I just get pricked when he changes the subject from something totally different to sexy talk. He does it all the time but I feel like I can't really get mad about it because I started it back when we first started dating. I told him that he doesn't have to hold back with me, but I'm starting to think that was a mistake. Is there a way for me to put a lid on it without making him feel ashamed of his sex drive?

You told him he doesn't have to hold back. He isn't. He brings up this subject because he likes to be sexual with you. If you dislike it, move on to someone with a lower sex drive, because his won't change just because you asked him to
>>
>>18552656
Ehhhhhh I was hoping you wouldn't say something like that. I really like him as a guy. His sex drive is just way higher than mine. That's the only problem that needs fixing. If I can have my cake and eat it too that would be better for me.
>>
>>18552640
You should really just talk to him about this not us.

Think about this. You said you started it so maybe he isn't even that sexual and just wants to show you that he can "keep up" and be assertive and consistent in pleasing you.

Worst case scenario he doesn't tone it down, but I'm betting he will.

I did some tests years ago, and the results were that I had a bad visual memory.
How well do you visualize things?
I'm terrible at it but what helps is moving the cognitive load away from visual memory, e.g. don't try to match the pictures in your mind's eye to the pictures on the page, but rather make verbal story that you sub vocalize.

So for the first image you are looking for "The Star comes before the Sun." And "Four Squares on a Ski slope"

If the idea of a mind's eye doesn't make much sense to you then you may have aphantasia.
>>
>>18552639
>>18552639
>"The Star comes before the Sun." And "Four Squares on a Ski slope"

The advantage is that matching the phrase "four squares on a slope" to the image will find both the sequence that starts at the end of line 1 and runs onto line 2 as well as the duplicate sequence on line 4, when a purely visual method might miss the first instance of the sequence... BUT the disadvantage is that the visual method is much much faster for people who don't have memory impairments.

ALSO if you use coping mechanisms like building stories out of the images then you may score well enough to hid any impairment you might have which won't actually do you any favors in the long run. As you will continue to struggle with memory problems while your paper work says you are "normal".
