piss garbage weed
Gross
Maybe I should move to a place that has some furries and try and start hanging out with said furries
>>5632222
cool furries that are worth chilling around with are so far inbetween though
>>5632222
That's a great idea if you want to be raped.
>>5632411
I know meeting up with furries just because they're furries is a bad premise, because you literally have nothing in common except maybe being ostracized on the internet and favourite flavour in porn.
But I don't see how it's much worse than coming to any other random place with random people
>>5632478
I'm neither cute nor underage so I'm more on a safe side
>>5632222
no, you shouldnt
That's more like it.
>>5631417
i wish i had some piss garbage weed
i wish i had any weed
ive been sober for months and its driving me insane

Habits threads are magical
>>5635688
Why not?
>>5637956
I thought that these were the possum threads?
>>5638198
you would think that
haha I hate myself.
>>5638198
punk & opossum & blog about your life
in other news my first proper paycheck comes in on thursday and i'm hyped as fuck to do absolutely nothing with it because i'm saving for that trip to sweden to see that girl
they're really starting to lay hours onto me though because i got 24 hour availability so i'm worried i might afford the trip before i'm allowed vacation time, which would be an atrocious cocktease
>play videogames to unwind
>keep making the most basic fuckups in videogame A
>get upset and stop playing
>full tilt for videogame B
>become furious then suddenly depressed
Why do I let it get to me?
>>5639208
Whatchu playing?
>>5639208
out of all the stuff ive thread in these threads this is by far the most first world non-problem
>>5639161
what
Is this some kind of long distance relationship?
>>5639368
Your taste in videogames is terrible.
>anger management therapy
Wew.
>>5639383
yeah, it is
>>5639431
You're not very nice
>>5639469
t. nerd
>>5639463
Never really understood how these work
But I'm not judging
>>5639505
me neither
i'm not even sure if i'm doing it right but it feels like we have something going
i mean, she's actually looking forward to seeing me offline
>>5639431
>>5639485
nerds are kind of people that talk about "taste in video games" and think anger issues dont need therapy. go away
>>5639368
i see
>>5639505
i was in one. its very taxing because you have to acknowledge people in a relationship have romantic and sexual needs you cant fulfill long distance so thats why they usually dont last very long
ive had realspace relationships and they were much more fulfilling
>>5639624
shut up nerd or i'll YIFF YOU
>>5639624
I'm more bugged by that people can act differently on the internet and in real life, because online interaction is devoid of real-life nuances
But I've never been in an online relationship let alone real one, so it's mostly my assumption. I've seen healthy couples who met each other online so whatever.
>>5639808
>I'm more bugged by that people can act differently on the internet and in real life, because online interaction is devoid of real-life nuances
like what?
>>5639161
>punk & opossum & blog about your life
The fun thing about these threads is that they are the closest thing to actual punk I have seen in a long time: dudes who probably work in generally shitty jobs who spend their paychecks smoking, drinking, barely covering rent in their shitty one-bedroom apartments and talking to people on the internet about how they like their shitty living conditions almost completely unironically.
>>5638198
We just kind of hang out and soak up the ambience of angst, self-deprecation, and secondhand smoke.
And post possums.
>>5639208
You're falling into the trap of caring whether you win. Just do dumb stuff unrelated to winning.
>>5639855
Anything, really
I'm not talking about deliberately "faking" something, it's just much easier to "keep your cool" online when you're not exposed to any real-life stresses or obligations, and I believe that people are most sincere when they lose their shit. I'm not saying that I need to see everyone I know cry, but I hope you get the idea.
>>5639876
Funny thing is that I used to make twice the average salary in my town, but the way I look gets me stopped by cops every other month when I enter the subway
>>5639876
my life the post
>>5640461
I like to make this shitty comparison to a job interview, when you're not exactly lying but neither you're being completely honest
>>5640521
mhm
>>5639208
this is part of the reason i bought a skateboard
i feel like if i go full tilt i can use that energy to go practice skateboarding and i wont have to worry about the game's problems (my games are multiplayer though, so there's a LOT of problems) im pretty much bare minimum experience in skating so any progress at all is improvement at this point
Can someone repost the Clem spitroasting image?
i hate myself so much
but i love him more
how to cope
>>5643636
Sex him
Up the butt
>>5643636
kill them and eat their flesh.
>>5644954
they will become a part of you.
>>5644969
good point
however i still want to have gay homo sex with him in the ass
>>5645145
sell your body on the streets until you have enough money to fly over and homosex them.
>>5645267
nobody would want to use my services
>>5645404
you can't be that bad looking. surely.
>>5645654
i would just start venting to the guy and he wouldnt pay me
cant even get a job cause of my scholarship so ill have to life a mediocre life for 5 years
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>5645812
oh shit wrong image lmao
fuck my life dudes
>>5645839
Why would you save that though?
>>5645781
I see. what are you going to school for?
>>5645839
nah I wouldn't worry about that. I was too late to see anything anyhow.
>>5645933
i dont even remember
maybe someone was pretending to be me
>>5645957
nursing
>>5646028
haha!
like scrubs.
I'm no superman! ha.
but really, that's pretty fucking cool.
>>5646227
best thing about it is that everyone thats studying with me watched all those nursing series to hell and back and i only knew about greys anatomy, and i never watched a second of it
what are you up to anyways
>>5646289
drinking. drawing. same shit different day.
>>5646474
good stuff my dude
Youre pretty good at drawing, ever thought of milking furfags for easy dosh?
>>5646722
I don't draw any of these.
and no, I haven't.
what are you up to? gearing up for bed I imagine.
>>5647075
yeah, dont want to drink a lot cause i have class tomorow so ill wank myself to sleep
stay safe my dudester
>>5642306
skating is really fun
"normal" people will make fun of you for doing it in your 20s but you just dont hang out with those people
it also takes like 2 years to actually start doing cool shit
I am pleased by the quantity of possums in this thread.
Could use more Clem but I can't complain.
>>5648403
Got you covered.
>>5648798
i have the pin of this pic
support the artist its only like $2
i put it on my guitar strap

>it's a 'people address the issue of your frustration by making it feel like you're a bad person for having any emotion that isn't positive' episode
I'm so fucking tired of this shit
>>5651724
stop talking in 4chan memes my son
what's wrong
would you like to talk about it
>>5651738
no because I've spent my entire life being told by multiple parties that what I feel doesn't matter and that I need to pretend to be happy so I don't make anyone else sad.
All the while watching everyone else around me receive constant emotional support whenever they needed it.
>>5651766
fuck that gay shit
how fucking selfish do they have to be to have a mindset like "you're not allowed to express any signs of discontent because you'll stink up our mood!!"
>>5651766
we call that toxic masculinity in some circles
>>5651724
I feel ya. My mother and sister even gave me this horrible, little book called Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude by this used-car-salesman looking dude who copyrighted (or tried to) the words "YES! Attitude". I kept it around for years just to show people how horrible it was, but I think I tossed it a while ago.
But hey, sorry for being a depressed autist. It's not like I asked for this shit. And then when I get down to it, I realize I learned much of that attitude at home. That pisses me off the most. I love my parents, but they weren't great parents. Typical babyboomer "school is all that matters" parents. They actively tried to talk me out of anything that wasn't school or sports in the fear that I would "screw up my life". Who'd have thought that getting to hear that everything you love is a worthless pursuit, and everything you hate is the fabric of the world leaves a person with a slightly negative attitude towards life, huh?
>>5651766
Oh man, that really sucks.
I wasn't too worried about having emotional support until recent years.
Then in one year I had to deal with tons of different "adult" problems, and while it didn't kill me, being stuck in a solitary confinement sure adds a lot of unneeded stress, because I get zero feedback on my life choices.
>>5651724
>father indirectly tells me I won't have any friends if I show emotion
>would yell at me for being a "know-it-all"
>>5652195
>>father indirectly tells me I won't have any friends if I show emotion
thats a lie, or a very ambiguous statement
>>5652226
whenever I was the littlest bit angry or sad he'd say "you're not gonna make friends that way"
So yeah, ambiguous statement I guess
>>5652266
uhh, i guess. time and a place. strangers don't like downers
>>5652314
It's just gaslighting. An insult masquerading as advice. Anyone who genuinely thinks people act the same way to strangers as they do to family is retarded, and shouldn't be giving advice anyway. So those are the choices: He's a retard, or an asshole.
>>5652102
Last year I spent a week not leaving my bed except to go to work, then come home and go back to bed etc. Took 6 days for anyone in my family to say anything and the first thing was my dad yelling at me, called me names and then stormed off. They still coddle my older sister at age 30 and wonder why I'm never willing to open up to them about my problems
>>5648774
My marsupial!
Damn, you all are even more pissed off than usual today. Have a picture of a possum contemplating its life in a carved out pumpkin.
>>5654191
>my paws hurt
>who the fuck hangs out in a pumpkin
>i wish i had some garbage to roll in
considering train hopping away from home. in like a year or so.
>>5652955
Are you the eldest, youngest, or a middle child?
Either way such favoritism is atrocious, but your familial situation could explain it
>>5656281
Do it. Be one of the people brave enough to.
I've got a 10 hour work shift coming up. What's everyone else got going on?
>>5656912
wow that sucks
i'm unemployed which is probably worse though
>>5656912
a 4 hour shift coming up :3c
>>5656912
I work at a beverage warehouse. I'm going in at 5 and likely, for a Thursday, won't be out until 6am.
>>5657103
Yeah as much as I hate working booze and durries are expensive.
>>5656291
youngest
right now I'm considering starving myself as a cry for help given that it's been two days since I last ate already and nobody seems to have noticed/cared
>>5657341
Where are they called durries? I had to google that to know what you were talking about.
>>5659792
aus
>>5660016
Ah, the primal motherland for all possumkind.
Enjoy your durries, mate.
>>5660095
the pics itt are actually north american possums
australian possums look like this
>>5660233
Such majestic beady-eyed creatures. I wonder if our Australian cousins live off of garbage and tobacco too.
My fellow /trash/ friends, how do I weed? Never even smoked cigarettes before.
>>5660360
well, the fact that you just asked "how do i weed" is a little concerning
get weed? smoke weed? are you asking how to smoke weed? because that is fucking hilarious
>are you asking how to smoke weed? because that is fucking hilarious
pls no bully
I went to a friends house a few days ago and I gave it a shot but I didn't feel shit.
>>5661294
It's not unusual for people to not feel anything the first time or two smoking weed, especially for run-of-the-mill ditchweed.
You just inhale it into your lungs and it makes you high most of the time. You might cough a bit but that means you're at least getting it into your lungs.
Why do you want to smoke pot? Drugs are bad for you.
>>5661421
>It's not unusual for people to not feel anything the first time or two smoking weed
My friends we're watching random videos on Youtube giggling the entire time. I was only laughing at shit I'd normally laugh to.
>Why do you want to smoke pot?
I don't want to feel awkward after gigs or parties I usually go to since I'm the bassist that talks to no one. Since weed and alcohol is a thing in these places, I want to fit in for a while.
>20126
>he's influenced by peer pressure
laughing my ass off to be honest, my friend
>>5662047
fuck off i know your type
>>5661977
Meh. I guess that's a good enough reason to want to get fucked up. Start slow with the booze and drugs and get tipsy, not wasted, until you're used to it and know your tolerance. Getting high and drunk isn't some competition and it's honestly a pretty shitty lifestyle if you let it get out of control. Sure beats being sober.
Alcohol's great for loosening up and chatting with people though. Weed just makes me sleepy and want to do vidya.
>>5661527
Just say no. :^)
Bump
>>5663953
filename is leg in italian
what did you mean by this
>>5664037
Its also skunk in portuguese
>>5662162
>Alcohol's great for loosening up and chatting with people though.
Yeah I know my limits with alcohol and it does help opening up a bit towards new people.
Any experience with food with pot? There's gonna be a party in a few weeks with "magical muffins". I've been told that shit hits you harder than smoking it.
>>5664953
Edibles are always a crapshoot in my experience. Some gave me great highs and got me stoned for hours and some just gave me a panic attack. I stick to smoking these days.
I'd never tell somebody just starting out to try one but if you do, just take one muffin or whatever and be patient. Edibles get absorbed differently from smoking so they can creep up on you and floor your ass, sometimes taking up to an hour or more to kick in.
Most of the hospitalizations from marijuana "overdose" in the states that have legalized it are from bubblegummers taking too many of an edible at once and freaking the hell out. Nobody dies obviously, but it goes to show how potent the drug can be for some.
If they're good muffins, you'll be retarded for several hours. Have fun.
>>5666172
Thanks famalam, I'll try to have fun.
>>5659792
Even over here only the most bumfuck country people call them durries. It's either a durrie, a fag or a cig.
>>5666172
i've never had a good experience with edibles, but that's just because for me personally i don't like being that high for that long
Anyone have advice for buying drugs? I used to get them of friends and shit but I just moved and I've never had to buy them myself.
>>5668510
you either know the people or you dont
>>5668518
Fuck. That's depressing for me.
drugs are overrated
much like living
how are you feeling /possum/
vent your feelings
>>5669769
I'm fucking tired of everyone around me knowing I'm depressed and actively avoiding me because of it
>>5669769
Happy that i have a significant Other
Upset that itll take time until we meet and cuddle and fug
>>5669769
I don't know, brah. Finally got some treatment for my assburgers, but now the girl giving the treatment has been fired, and I'm going to get some other person who I've never fucking met before.
The turnover in mental health is huge, and it's pissing me off. I'm old. I needed this help years ago. And still they dragged their goddamn feet, and now they're again switching up their staff. I mean, Jesus fucking Christ, could I please just complete one treatment with the same fucking person? I've got a life I'm supposed to lead, instead of looking at possums on the internet.
>>5669769
Why was she fired?
>>5669769
Life's rad.
>>5669769
Weed keeps my anger issues at bay, so pretty good I guess.
>>5669823
people dont like downers and no one is obligated to be your shoulder to cry on
thats just how it is bud
>>5673398
This desu
at least pretend that you enjoy living
im gay
>>5674040
same
I really want a bf but I am averse to normies
>>5674173
the fact that you say the word 'normies' and split people up into 'normie' and not means you are beyond help and i do not like you
>>5669769
I had three people cry at me this week for different reasons. Nothing to do with me, I was just the shoulder to cry on. Holy shit will that bum a guy out.
Makes me want to hitchhike across the country and get murdered in my sleep for my wallet.
>>5674282
you seem to be pent up, anon
smoke a cig or something
>>5674419
i just don't like the stereotypical 4chan hermit loser
>>5669769
I went out the other night because it's not healthy to spend all my time in front of my PC, and I met the cutest dude, except I am a total sperg who can't talk to people and he already has a bf and I'll probably never see him again.
>>5674173
iktf.
>>5669769
I'm repeating a semester and I'm already missing more classes and finding it harder to wake up in the morning than I did last year.
I'm honestly considering seeing a psychiatrist as I'm wondering if I don't have legit depression.
Oh but I met a whole bunch of cool musicians that I'm probably gonna jam with in the future so that's cool
>>5674282
it's an easy way of describing my thoughts, I have very little in common with most normal people, what way would you have liked me to describe it?
>>5674173
I understand anon, I'd never wanna date a non-autist, most people are either boring or weird to talk to
i hate all of you so fucking much
>>5675878
wanna yiff?
>>5675906
maybe it would make me feel better
>>5669769
Feeling mediocre alright
I'm feeling like I should take some action about my life because I'm not very content with it
I did quit my suicidal job a while ago, thinking that I'll take some time to rest and do something about my life, but didn't really make any use of my newfound free time, I went full fucking NEET mode, spending whole day on the internet or playing videogames. It seems like it's time to get a job again, because I had much less time to wail in self-pity when I had one. But it also means I'm back on square one with all this crap.
Also, is it me, or these threads became more populated (popular?)
>>5677287
yeye these loiter on a bleacher and make secondhand smoke threads are pickin up quite the pace don't you think
take your time to find a better job that doesn't feel like total shit, don't just beeline for some insufferable trashjob unless you can't afford to stay jobless
>>5677287
>Also, is it me, or these threads became more populated (popular?)
Fact: People love possums. And angst.
>>5669769
Better.
I finally ranted my suicidal thoughts and problems on someone who I'm not even really friends with and he helped. My job's going well and I'm their most competent worker. Smoking is mellowing me out. I even have a plan to move out of home in about 5 months and become roommates with a guy at my hometown if I can't carve out a living here.
It feels like it's all going my way.
>>5677494
I'd say my previous job wasn't total shit but I've been overworking myself, partially because of how the working process was set up, partially because I didn't have much life outside of my job, then I burned out and killed off something that probably became a defining part of my life
I should start socializing somehow to avoid jumping back on the suicide train, make some friends, maybe even get into a shitty relationship, but I have zero social skills and in general it's kind of scary. At some point I made some acquaintances outside of my job but it didn't turn out very fulfilling.
Also some people said that getting a hobby would help and now I have a handful of asocial hobbies that aren't bad on their own but contribute to my loneliness.
>>5675534
say normalfags instead
>>5674173
I know what you mean. The worst part is my town's so small there are only 3 other gay people around my age. 2 are a couple and the other is an absolute square.
Does anyone still say square or is that just me?
im tired
>>5675401
Go see a psych, man. No reason to suffer when there are treatments available to make life suck less.
School's a good investment too unless you get some bullshit degree but it's a waste of money if you're not planning to follow through until the end. Better to work for a few years than blow your GPA to shit.
>>5678016
Square's fine. It's like tool for me. I don't use the word tool a lot but every once in awhile I'll meet a total tool and think "Man, this guy is a tool."
>>5678281
Go to bed. Or don't I'm just some Anon who likes possums and has a shitty life not your mum.
>>5678609
im tired mentally
>>5678643
Shitty day or shitty life?
>>5678840
life mostly
today was pretty much the same as any other
>>5678860
If I could help you I would but there is likely not much I can do. Do you want to vent your problems? It really does help.
>>5678885
ive tried to vent before but my anxiety always makes me stop before i say anything
im sure it would help but i cant bring myself to tell others about my problems becuase i know no one genuinely cares or would help me or anything
thanks for the words though
>>5678931
not him but dude this an anonymous website, what's there to be anxious about?
and all of us are equally bitter here so definitely feel welcome to vent out, most of us care im pretty sure
i mean, at least i do
>>5678931
Just do it. I honestly do care because I know that it all gets to you after a while and I might as well help people instead of sitting around dying slowly.
>>5678983
because even though i know this is all anonymous, my brain cant help but tell me that it will just bother people/annoy them from years of people venting to me and me either not caring or knowing what to do
>>5679002
i dunno, i probably just shouldnt have said anything in the first place
im shutting up now
>>5679057
Don't shut up it'll make it worse. Please for the love of god keep talking.
>>5678931
Possums are good listeners, mate, and they never judge, except that one guy who's just permanently pissed off at the world but he's cool.
We're all fucked up and choose to spend our free time here. Of all the godforsaken places on the internet, you don't have to feel alone in these threads.
>>5679057
you're welcome to unpack your emotional baggage
please don't try to bottle up your misery
>>5679225
We could start a company and make misery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQ2TIul8pI
>>5678931
I fucking hate anxiety
I often consider getting some help from a shrink but I can't imagine myself venting in person to someone else
>>5679407
i can't talk out loud about this crap which is why I talk to suicide help online while crying to myself even though my family is about 5 meters away.
>>5679853
At least you're talking to somebody. That's good.
>>5680771
DAYUMN
>>5680909
Is it an American or international site? That link might be useful for some of the people who post here, if you're comfortable sharing it. I'm glad to hear it helped you, man.
>>5681028
Sorry but I don't remember the site. A friend got me on it but I do think it was an Australian only one.
>>5678931
>i know no one genuinely cares or would help me or anything
wrong, there are ppl that would like nothing more than to see you happy
specifically people like psychiatrists and shrinks but also strangers on the internet
>>5680771
That's a cute possum.
>>5639463
I wish you luck in your endeavours, but also if things go terribly wrong, please recall that someone said, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes".
i take it back i love you guys even if youre insufferable hermit nerds
>>5686931
it's a constant fear, honestly. i can't peer into the future and know if this will work out at all in the end because i'm clinging onto her as a reason to live
a really shaky foundation to build a reason to live on, if you ask me
>>5686952
My dude, if you're already feeling that foundation shake, you need to think about what you're doing, seriously. How well do you know her and what kind of interaction have you had?
>>5687098
i've known her for about 4 months and had a slew of heart to heart conversations over the course of the recent month
i know she's as miserable as i am
a pretty short time to be planning things like this, i know. however i'm a pathetic human being with no purpose and ambition in life that would probably have already been dead from suicide anyways if not for her
>>5687150
yeah, that is a short time. if you go off thinking every girlfriend you have is the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with you're gonna be disappointed pretty often
>>5687150
If you're both depressed the situation can get really fucked fast. Go get some help man. It took me a long while to figure out I was in control of my life. You don't have to be sad. You don't need to hang around if people make you feel like trash.
Help yourself.
>>5687150
You're not devoid of ambition, what you're doing now is actually taking action. It might be not the most optimal one, it might not work out in the end, just don't let it be your last ambition.
Last year I've met a girl who showed some interest in me, it's literally the first girl ever who did. It didn't work out. But it was fun while it lasted, it gave me a huge motivational boost, I'd even say forced me to improve my life here and there. How do people say, "there's no such thing as a bad experience"?
Don't go in expecting failure (long distance relationships sometimes work out), but if something goes awry, get ready to roll with the punches.
if anyone here is actually suicidal and wants some tips on coping from someone whos been dealing with a decade of depression with little professional help then reply and ill shoot you my email
Dont die on me
need to order more antidepressants, new room I moved into is small as fuck, and I need to find a second job
gimme some draw requests and I'll see what I can do for you /possum/
>>5689377
douglas being a dumbass
>>5689377
An opossum shitposting on /trash/.
God, pseudoephedrine is a miracle drug. I take being able to breathe through my nose for granted way too much.
Suck my dick, autumn.
>>5687347
she sort of mended me and vice versa and that's how i ended up getting a job in the first place
i basically got my help from her
>>5687345
>>5688099
if it fails, so be it
i've got nothing to fall back on honestly, this is the highest up i've been and i'm too exhausted to wait for another opportunity like this
just gonna give it a shot and then quit life if it doesn't go well
>>5692340
How far away does she live?
>>5692801
i'm in canada, she's in sweden
People tell me I need to get a licence but I have absolutely no need for car
People tell me that I should go on vacation somewhere but I have zero interest in doing so because it doesn't solve any long term problems
I most likely need to move out but last time it didn't go too well
I "need" to get a job but the last time I had one, I was seriously underspending and it seemed like a huge waste of time
I want to get into relationship while I still can do that without much responsibility, but have zero social skills, no friends, and I don't really hang out, and have no idea how to approach that question
I need some professional help but I'm very anxious about getting a shrink
I'm not exactly suicidal but I have very little motivation and a lot of fears
Gee now I feel slightly better
>>5693803
Slightly better is better than nothing.
>>5688158
I do go through extreme bouts of it and wouldn't mind some tips on keeping it together.

theres 100 posts till this thread hits bump limit so you can just post what you want help with here if thats ok
>>5694722
these threads are constantly remade so even at bumplimit we'll just play possum for a few and then get up with a new thread
>>5694722
Sweet.
I dropped out of school and I now work retail 45 hours a week where I'm under payed because I can't get better job. I can't afford to move into my own house but I'm 99% sure my mum's overcharging my rent compared to everyone else. I have some friends but they won't do anything unless I ask them and they avoid me a lot. I have a smoking and a drinking problem and at night I often plan to kill myself but then I just lay down and cry myself to sleep.
I also have 0 motivation to try and move up in life and all my friends are moving and going to University next year.
These critters are so fucking adorable.
>>5694883
k so general tips id give to someone with depression because im assuming thats your deal
you have to learn to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. sounds very cliche but it works which is why people tell you to do it
every time you think of something negative try to think of something youre grateful for instead. practice this every day
a change of scene helps you get out of your head. try walking outside, cleaning your house, moving your furniture around
change your clothes every day and have good hygiene
force yourself to go out and talk to people. it's probably one of the strongest anti depressants
you might feel awkward/"in your shell" at first but sociality is a muscle and it needs to be stretched
if you don't like your job strongly consider getting another one but remember working in general sucks and theres not much you can do about that
if you dont like your friends, make new ones. youre not forced to hang out with your friends
also remember to try not to interpret things in such a way that youre down on yourself if they dont actually have to be, IE, your friends are not necessarily avoiding you ... you just dont put yourself out there enough for them to offer to hang out. they think youre busy, or you just dont really click enough with them. thats ok.
addictions like smoking and drinking are beyond what i have advice for, except this one important thing: try not to think of yourself as addicted, or "an alcoholic" or "a smoker." when you label yourself in such a way it becomes harder for your brain to imagine the idea of you without those things
if you're planning suicide it means you're at a point where you need treatment. i recommend at least getting some anti depressants and very strongly recommend a therapist. despite what you might be anxious about therapists won't "judge" you and pretty much devote their lives to helping people like you. everything you say in a therapist office is confidential unless it's a really big deal (cont)
>>5695064
like if they think you're dangerous to yourself or others. but for example when i was 16 i talked about smoking and drinking to my therapist and they're legally obligated to keep that quiet, even though a 16 year old obviously cant smoke or drink by the law.
its important not to compare yourself to others, especially when it comes to school. you may think you're dumb/a failure/whatever but you have to learn to drop those comparisons and just think about improving your life and your circumstances and realize that you have probably been put under some rough conditions / had not such a great childhood to get to where you are now, and that it's ok that you're not doing perfect at this point
usually i have much more eloquent or structured advice to give but you know its hard when youre put on the spot so ill leave it at that and i really hope you get better cause i know what youre feeling (maybe)
>>5695169
Thanks. It helps knowing someone took time to write this on my request.
I've thought about seeing a therapist but I have no idea on how to find one or how much it costs.
>>5695064
not him, but this is really helpful. Thanks anon
>>5695261
I have to say I'm impressed with how spot on a lot of your advice is.
My room does need cleaning and my childhood was a pretty shitty rapper stereotype. Mum had problems, Dad ran away and my sister was raped.
I really can't thank you enough.
>>5695444
mhm
another thing, try not to think of your past/your psychological scars as holding you back from having a good life forever. everything heals eventually
>>5695064
>>5695169
Good posts, mate.
>you have to learn to replace negative thoughts with positive ones
This, all day long. Attitude makes a HUGE difference in how I'm able to handle the bullshit in my life. My trick is to always always always have something to look forward to. Something as simple as some DLC for a game I enjoy coming out soon, or big stuff like being done with another semester of classes. I have to have that anticipation that something good's on the way to get me through the horseshit.
Going on little walks every day and cutting back on the fast food and garbage helped immensely too. I'm still struggling with the smoking but I'll work on changing that mindset. Your posts motivated me to get off my ass and get some shit done today.
Thanks for being a part of these threads. That goes for all of you.
>>5695026
You're goddamn right they are. Fuck, I love possums.
>>5695064
Some of these are nice tips, thanks
Not that anon, but personally I found trying to socialize or even taking long walks very stressful. I'm really jealous of happy couples and seeing those on the streets bothers me a lot. When I tried to make some friends, I ended up hanging out with people whom I personally didn't like very much, and obviously some of them were in happy relationships, which did upset me greatly.
I know it's unnatural but there isn't much I can do about it.
>>5696537
thats normal
the only real tip for that is suck it up
but dont think youre beyond being one half of a happy couple either
>>5696633
I get that it's kind of normal but my reaction is not, it really ruins my mood until I make myself busy with something. Just posting about it ticked me off again. Fuck.
For example, out of a bunch of people I've met, there was one guy who's fat, hauls corpses for a living, lives with his mom, has a drinking problem and his primary hobby is playing league of legends. I wouldn't call him a terrible person over all this stuff but he's not a prize pony either, yet he's a in a relatively happy relationship. I feel so inferior. I keep telling myself is that it's because I barely hang out with people and don't let other people know me, but my words are just words and they've stopped helping some time ago. I feel like I'm incredibly sad and uninteresting person and I keep avoiding people because I'm afraid to find that out for a fact.
>>5697243
i know, buddy. i know
all of that is normal
you'll be amazed how likeable you actually are if you just start going out and talking to people
that may not sound very convincing to you but it's something i learned myself eventually and its a good piece of advice for everyone
>>5669769
I've realized I've been browsing threads about a comic called "habits", but I don't take substances. I still hate myself for being a bitchy faggot with a short fuse, though.
I've considered marijuana, but I'd rather not risk getting caught. I've got enough shit to worry about.
>>5697969
I don't drink or do drugs myself
In fact my life is more or less together for a college student
I'm just moody, depressed, and probably autistic
>>5697969
>but I don't take substances.
yeah, i can tell because you call it "marijuana" lol
>>5698620
I can't call anything else without it sounding stupid
anyone else here a musician?
>>5698906
Me. Well not really.
Bassist in a punkish band.

cool i used to play upright bass in a local orchestra until it became too expensive to continue the rental. god i miss that instrument. me and that instrument were made for each other
>>5698799
weed? pot?
marijuana sounds stupid, it's what old republican dudes say
>>5699379
>Bassist in a punkish band.
Rad. Any tracks we can hear? What are your punk influences?
>>5699474
>>5699557
>anywhere i can listen?
sorry m8s, our stuff in youtube has links to FB and I want to remain anonymous. Besides our stuff is in spic.
>cool i used to play upright bass in a local orchestra until it became too expensive to continue the rental. god i miss that instrument. me and that instrument were made for each other
Once I finish my engineer career, want to go for a small degree in double bass. Bass in jazz and bebop sound fucking insane.
>>5697969
I don't drink or do any drugs either
Well, I drink a tiny little bit on the occasion just to fit in, but in general I don't know my limits with alcohol neither I have a reliable group to get drunk/high with so I kind of avoid all that
The comic is definitely not about substance use or abuse anyway
>>5699794
>I want to remain anonymous.
Understandable, good luck to you with the band and your career, man.

just went around town picking cigarette butts out of ashtrays after a shower and left them out in my lawn to dry
ama
>>5701135
to what end
>>5701162
i have no cigarettes and im really dumb and poor
>>5701135
when I was homeless me and my other homeless friends used to snatch all the butts out of the bar's ashtray and use the leftovers to roll cigarettes once we had enough, and also scope out people drunk enough that they would buy us beers, it happened pretty often actually
>>5702673
im just a poor lil crustie wants some cigarettes
>>5699557
>What are your punk influences?
I'm gonna get shit on but our main influences are pop-punk related. Mostly Mexican and LatAm pop-punk from the 2000's. Hence why I said "punkish" band. Though I really like the "math" genres as well and we want to include that kind of stuff in future songs.
>Understandable, good luck to you with the band and your career, man.
Our drummer wants to leave our band after a mini-tour in our country in November over drama bullshit that's getting on our nerves. He and my guitarist aren't getting along anymore and honestly I don't know if we should cancel or not the tour. We're thinking of moving on as a 3 piece or search for another guitarist (lead guitarist can also play drums).
Sorry if it sounds like a rant, but I need to vent a little.
>>5703291
Chicks love pop-punk, that shit will get you mad pinocha. I grew up listening to shit like NOFX, Green Day, Blink 182, The Offspring, and all sorts of poppy shit so I'm right there with you. Don't stress over the band drama, just have fun and play music when you get the chance to, man.
Vent away, it's good for the threads to have some sort of purpose beyond Habits and Possums and smoking butts.
Out of curiosity what's every bodies favorite song?
>>5706094
any live rendition of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa-ugk44rLA
some live performances of this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd4_7CrojmQ&t=24m02s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPq955GsN9Y&t=20m54s
chills down my fucking face and spine the second the mood transition of the song kicks in
all their other shit is phenomenal too
>>5706094
favorite song is way too narrow, a better question would have been favorite band/album
but if i HAD to pick its this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcY3UF6_IaM
listened to the whole album baked out of my mind and i think sometime near this song coming on i smoked more and this song melted my fucking brain, it was so great
the lyrics are also really good if they "click" with you, hard to explain what i mean
this song also means a lot to me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC3IrqUpm9U

Pretty much how I feel wearing my leather jacket and boots.
>>5723524
leather jackets are hard to pull off
anything below the $200 range probably looks like shit
it's pretty mallcore but allsaints had some decent ones I think
>>5723524
leather jackets are pretty much a fashion leftover from when people wore them for practical use
you have to be a buff dude or a very nice looking girl to rock a leather jacket
boots fit on everything and are indestructible so i own a pair
>>5723672
The one I own is a Roundtree and Yorke from Dillards.
I'm happy with it and all. Was more making a self-deprecative comment and something about how attitude plays into clothing. I dunno.
Should've kept my mouth shut.
>>5705361
Well turns out the fucker has been talking shit behind us putting himself as the victim in this whole ordeal. Granted, he had a lot a contacts in the "scene" and we got to play outside our city but whenever we want to move forward musically, he doesn't show up in rehearsals, doesn't practice (hell he doesn't have his own drum kit) and he's a jew when it comes to invest in recordings. One of my guitarist doesn't want to see him again but we still have this tour in November and we don't know if we should bail out.
/rant
>>5706094
I'm gonna go with what >>5706368 said and pick my fav album so:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qcmHsCXb6U
Back in my Metal-head phase, when I was barely getting in to it, a friend showed my this album and was blown away into the first song. Every song is a 10/10 for me up to this date, my favorite being Five Magics. Ellefson's bass-work is top notch and one of the reasons I took bass more seriously.
New Habits chapters when?
i'm back from work

I'm a solid mix of muscle and a bit of fat that holds well enough to make me look fit.
It really helped in highschool that I was a chain smoking giant because all me and all my friends sat around playing Magic the Gathering and LARPing. Part of me misses the days where I could get away with throwing punches willy-nilly at anyone who pissed me off.
>>5728115
Sleep tight possum.
>>5728123
if you're tall with a strong frame you can easily intimidate people when they know they're doing something wrong
Scaring someone into stopping their bullshit is more fun than punching them
>>5728170
You're not wrong about that. It's funny when they suddenly realise how tall I am compared to them.
>>5728123
>Part of me misses the days where I could get away with throwing punches willy-nilly at anyone who pissed me off.
Just punch 'em in the nads. No-one wants to mess with the crazy guy who punches people in the balls.
>>5728357
but anon, what if someone punches YOU in the balls in return?
>>5728357
I've never actually hit someone in the balls. If I get in another fight one day I'll give it a shot.
>>5728463
The only time I never became mates with someone I got into a fight with was the guy who hit me in the back of the head with a bike. That was a fucking dick move on his part.
>>5639208
I try to go semi pro in league and fucked up i know your pain :c
>>5728361
Punch 'em back again.
>>5728599
Then at any rate you'll just wind up with two sad men with ruptured testicles.
>>5728699
shucks that's a good point
Goddamnit, I need to stop smoking weed. It makes me feel like shit. But it also makes me feel good.
Fucking weed. Couldn't I have an addiction for something a little more classy, like coke?
>>5728825
I've been addicted to coke, you're better off with weed, though I feel you, I cant smoke weed, it makes me paranoid and anxious as fuck
>>5729825
At least on coke, you can get some work done. I have to come to terms with the fact that I've used weed to basically "turn myself off" for a third of every day for the past five years. And I managed to fool myself into thinking I was only a casual user because I didn't smoke quite as much as the "typical" stoner. Of course, some of the "typical" stoners I know are better people than I am, who's lives soared while I was just sitting here.
And it makes me feel like shit, physically. It's not good for your lungs, plain and simple. Not to mention that daily use will make you fat because of the munchies.
I just hate the fact that I've been a useless stoner who damaged his own body in the prime of his life just to feel a little less shit about everything. Weed is cool if you smoke it, like, once every few weeks. Habitual use is utter shit. It's gross, it's unhealthy, and I fucking hate it.
>it makes me paranoid and anxious as fuck
I smoke it almost exclusively with tobacco, because I get the same shit. And because Dutch weed is primo stuff. Smoked just the tobacco for a short time, and actually really liked it. Had to stop myself, or I'd become a serious smoker. Not going down that road. But I kind of hate how tobacco just works for me. Can't I have that effect in a can of soda or something? I don't want to kick my lungs' asses any more.
I don't really like that Clem smokes. I just want to tell her "noooo, don't smoke! It's cool and edgy now, but by the time you're 30 it's just another filthy habit!" But then again, I suppose the comic isn't called "Habits" for nothing...
asdfhjsdflkjsf drawfag here I'll be on a little bit later today to draw shit
give some requests and I might consider em
Well, this was a good thread.
