>Your current worries
Don't have any serious worries at the moment, but I do have a difficult situation to deal with. My mum passed away last year, and my younger brother is the executor of her estate. After tax I'm due to inherit a fairly large sum (it's the price of a used car short of quarter of a million), the issue being that I don't want it. She did piss all for me when she was alive. Most of the money came from selling the house she lived in, which my dad paid for - to my mind the money isn't "her's" to give away in the first place. Whilst not rich I'm 60% through my mortgage, I've got a pension fund, my kids all have iphones, my wife doesn't have to work and I bought a Jag last year, so it's not like I need the money either. What I'm struggling with is finding a way to tell my brother (who I've allways had a strenuous relationship with even at the best of times) "actually mate, you can take that two hundred and thirty grand and set it on fucking fire for all I care" without sounding like the most obnoxious, stuck up cunt ever to walk the earth.
>Words of personal advice to give to other people
Don't ever sell yourself short. Don't apply for any job which you don't think is above your skill level. If someone asks if you're capable of something always say yes even if you have no idea, then work out a way of doing before you start, or just wing it. When someone offers you money to do something always accept, but tell them it's going to cost at least double what they're suggesting. One of my biggest regrets is that I spent the first ten or so years of my working life earning less than £10 an hour (I don't get paid by the hour anymore, but if I did it'd work out somewhere around £40/hr) purley because I didn't have the nerve to say "look mate, you can get someone incompetent to do half of the job for that price, but if you want /me/ to do it you shall have to put your hand a bit deeper in your pocket".

>Words of advice someone gave you that resonated in a positive way
When my dad was around he always knew just what to say, no matter what problem I went to him with. His advice was an even split between "stop complaining and get on with it", "stop making excuses and get on with it", or "just do something and if it turns out wrong fix it later".

You only have a finite time on this rock, don't let dumb things like "I'm a kissless virgin at 17 ;_;" ruin your life. There are far more important things in life than pressing your lips on someone or sticking your penis in them. With that said, get to know people, don't be afraid of rejection.

I'll take that as a compliment, haha. There's people with the same mindset everywhere, from little rural country towns to big cities. It can be hard sometimes to find people like that, but social media is key - I met most of my friends through social media, and it's easier to get a feel for their vibes that way.
Generally, most positive people like that are interested in outdoor-sy activities (hiking, skating, surfing, etc.) and a lot do volunteer work (especially with animals). Also, music festivals and concerts. Think places you would find your stereotypical hippie.

Current worries? A friend is very worried about things and i'm a bit worried about her (she hasn't responded to a text).
I want to help somehow but i'm terrible with people.
She doesn't need my help though, really, she'll ace all her exams anyway.
So will I, probably, in my insane skin-of-the-teeth way.
Advice to others: enjoy life and don't end up a robotic workaholic like me, who gets up in the morning and works like a maniac simply out of routine, because he doesn't know anything else. Love if you can. Drink. Do what comes naturally.
My philosophy could be described as a sort of modified old stoicism. I do my duty, and serve others. I never asked to be born, but while i'm here, i might as well make myself useful.
I don't have a lot of connections with people, friends, etc (only talk to 1 person at the moment), so not a lot of advice, compliments, impacts, etc.
Favorite book? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Generalizing it is both a cause and effect of a lot of ignorance. Within the bounds of modern western culture, I think people underestimate the effects of anomie and ignore it to an unsuitable extent, or, worse, dismiss it as angst and don't even consider treating it.

I once accused my mother of theft of some of my dad's paperwork after he died, and when she forgave me, I learned trust within weeks, and began to have intimate friendships. Unfortunately, this only lasted until about a year later, when I took a job across the country and had few opportunities to meet people, especially as I was buried in work for the first few months, which worsened my social skills considerably.

Learn to observe your thoughts. I highly recommend Vipassana meditation to anyone & everyone. It's helped me slow down and look at my thoughts as a third party, which gives me much greater perspective. Taking one's thoughts as total truth is the cause of much suffering. If you're unhappy in any way, or anxious/otherwise disturbed, order the book Feeling Good by Dr. David Burns or read the pdf here http://islamiconlineuniversity.com/counseling/resources/David%20Burns%20-%20Feeling%20Good.pdf

Someone told me to read Feeling Good by Dr. David Burns, and that was hugely impactful. A different person said that I needed to take full responsibility for my actions, words, thoughts, and emotions. Another great bit of wisdom is to release all anger as it comes.

Also worried about what to get my father for Father's Day. I'm thinking of buying him a watch, but he's never been one for material goods, we've never spent much "Father-son time", and I don't like the idea of expressing love through material goods, but I can't think of a better way.
I'm also thinking about whether I've taken enough risks with my life thus far in the larger scope of things, with girls or my career. I feel like I won't truly find out what I'm made of until I take risks.
I worry about worrying too much and that I don't live in the present enough, so I've taken up meditation.
I worry quite a bit.

Final exam in 3 hours, need 70 or i'll gradute with a 2.2 and that''ll be career suicide. Beating myself up over it since i was on a first at the start of the year.
Tomorrow have a final interview at a financial firm in London. It'll be great but the role is for an extrovert, and i've bluffed my into this stage with false confidence. Not sure how i feel about spending the rest of my days in London as well.
No one to celebrate with since everyones left uni. Feel pretty down about it.
I guess sometimes when you feel not ready, it means you are most ready. Little bit of self awareness in your actions goes a long way.

cant motivate myself to get the last missing exams for my medical degree because it involves asking people for doing me kind of favors and am a bit of an aspie about that.
I should learn to not depend on compliments as much, both relationships seem to suffer from me not getting enough compliments/thanks...
If you have difficulties making decisions, know that most of them dont matter, if you first study X than change subject to Y or start out with Y doesnt make a difference in the end. Most of them only decide about your immediate future and few are longterm. This also applies to relationships since divorces have become a thing.
Justice is important, everything is politics. try to get by doing the least amount of work so you can have al ot of time with fun on the internet.

I'm going full NEET again and I'm dropping out of school too 2 years in. I have two interviews lined up which I'm actually having second thoughts about. I just went in a job hunt so I wouldn't feel even more like a fuck up.

Fake it till you make it. When you make it you realize you have more potential than you realized.
Life is about experiences. Don't fuck with other people. Fuck everyone's opinion. You only let yourself feel what your feeling.
Moment of huge impact: Person I really looked up as well as a mentor, to said he saw nothing in me when I met him and didn't think I would make anything of my else. But then he said I hugely surpassed his expectations and he sees me with great potential. Fuck everyone's opinion.

of all time I'm not sure... but my english teacher recently gave me this huge compliment on my final project: "The speech was so you, Anon - original, insightful, snarky, self-deprecating, hilarious, a bit rough in its delivery but clearly the work of an impressive mind. I loved it, as did your classmates."

Well the person who gave it to me ended up being a complete disappointment but we were trying to decide what movie to watch while we were hanging out and I told him I just wanted to watch a movie about a badass woman who kicks a lot of ass and he told me all I needed to do was look in the mirror. Kind of cheesy but it transcended any other compliment I've received. Being pretty and smart is nice but I aspire to be a strong woman and knowing maybe someone thought I already was made feel great.
Oh nice. Now I'm teary eyed.

Realistically: none. Just for fun: Jews & the decline of Western Culture.
>Advice
Advice is really just applied psychology. I know for certain like half of these relationshit and depression threads on this board can be solved if either one of you fuckers took the time to read a god damn book. Psychology is nature understanding itself, and when you understand something you are not afraid/overwhelmed/emotional/negative about it. People are always caught up in their own head and don't know how to deal with it. Too many selfish people nowadays.
>Philosophy
Social Engineering is not evil. Objective truth does not exist. There is more to life than the pursuit of sex and reputation.
>Mantra
Mantra is pic related and many many other psychological concepts so I can get my brain to do what I want it to do (doesn't that sound weird? but you do understand exactly what I mean)

Muh nigga, that was my favorite book as a little kid.
Other kids were probably watching superhero movies or whatever shit and I was thinking "god damn, this is exactly how my life is going to play out if i have any choice in the matter."
Gotta re-read it and savor the feels sometime.
