"jacking off into cupboards" is probably my big fetish. if I'm staying at a hotel the first thing I do is open up the closet and jack off in therre. I mean sometimes I will literally shut myself inside the closet and jack off in the darkness. ipat my old place of work i used to jack off in the cleaners cupboard all the time. The cupboard where the cleaners keep there cleaning equipment. i would just open the door and spunk into the cupboard onto the equipment. it always smelled of piss in there anyway because they didnt rinse their mop aftter cleaning the toilets. i just love jacking off into cupboards I don't know why I like it so much. i guess its the disposable nature of it and it almost like a "wild west" thing

My relationship with my family is not there. My uncle got drunk and beat me up and threatened to kill me. I called the police and had him arrested but I never pressed charges. Now I'm estranged to my family and they're telling me to apologize to him. I told them no I wouldn't and now I'm currently losing contact with them. My best friend got lost to drugs then completely changed, started to treat me like shit. Towards the end he started to make fun of me a lot, calling me petty names and trying to tell me how much I've fucked up in my life and how I'll never be good for anything. Everytime I tried to visit him he'd make an excuse, but then the following day tell me how he went and hung out with his other friends. I realized I was nothing to him anymore and decided to cut contact. Haven't heard a word from him since.

Got a new job and I'm the outcast there. I've tried to be friendly but no one wants to have a prolonged conversation with me. Oh well.

I've been more alone than I ever have, which is depressing considering my family and one friend were all I had. With them gone I don't see a purpose in pursuing my life anymore. I've been through a lot of fucked up shit before so it's only giving me fact that I should just end it.

No I am not happy.

No. I am neither happy nor am I content and I know why. None of it depends on me and the reasons are not mundane either. I am very sick and the longer I live the worse it gets. Soon I will become bedridden and then I'll just crawl somewhere where death will be a certainty and that will be the end of it.

Nah, not really. Too much shit from my past that's weighing me down in my mind for that to be the case. I have been feeling a little bit better recently, which is something I haven't felt in a long ass time, but as for how long that'll last, I don't know.

Sage for off-topic blogshit thread.

A psychologist would never ask that question. Simply because most people would respond no and then assume they're victims. Being happy isn't important. What's important is being able to bear everyday life without remorse breaking you down. So it's not so much as being happy as it is not being completely miserable that's important.

Why do we care about Bethesda's environment design when Rockstar's Los Santos is denser, more detailed and more realistic, not to mention includes much more in the way of fine details, than any Bethshit game? You can go into any back yard and see a unique, appealing environment while all of Beth's shit is bland, grey and immensely repetitive.

For me it started with just getting organized with assignments that were starting to pile up by the end of the semester. I kept it pretty broad and each major assignment had it's own one. I used the half sized ones as well so it wouldn't look so cluttered.

I kept everything that was for a single assignment on the same sticky notes, scratching out or adding things until they were finished.

Now that school is out, I've been using them for unity projects I'm working on.

The big thing is to keep it simple. The end goal is to finish them and rip them off as soon as possible so you can add space for more things.

Shit man.

You probably heard this advice before but try getting out there some more and don't get discouraged by things going wrong just pick yourself up and try again.

Try to find a new hobby I suck at drawing and probably will never ever get good but I still find satisfaction out of drawing anything no matter how bad or if it's just me copying an simple artist's drawing like courage the cowardly dog

Try to vent your problems more to people and build up a support system.

Hope things get better for you Anon

One thing I'd add to your post is try not to too hard on your parents for not quite understanding all the struggles or accomplishments you may be going through.

I personally come from a very small town country background and my parents don't have a clue about the struggles or accomplishments with programming shit I've worked on. I used to hate them a little for it consequently. The thing is they were always proud of what I had accomplished they just weren't able to express it as it was a completely foreign concept to them. That's what really matters.

Man being happy is so easy, why can't everyone do it?

I feel like people have all sort of expectations about life, or plain don't understand what they themselves want. Or they're too timid to pursue it.

Good food, good video games, a nice cozy house, no stressful job and a decent,average income to waste occasionally on irrelevant shit is all I need.

You say that, but depending on your region even the United States that can be a bit tough. For instance, there's a lot of moderately successful highschool graduate metal working / oil field jobs that are feeling the hurt real bad in my home town in southern Louisiana. Many of our towns were built around the oil field industry and it's been incredibly rough unless you want to work at at Wendy's or CVS for a while.

To lick our wounds and scream at each other, get off some steam and talk about stuff you can't with others.

This evolved into the only place i socialize with and talk to people, because i am not afraid of the backlash or any status i might lose. /v/ a shit, and i shitpost a lot too, and get mad, but i still like it. Without it, i am not sure how i would let go off all that thoughts.

Hey anon don't think like that Theres alot of people in the world get out there and meet some more. Being a generally shy person can be a real bitch sometimes but its alkways good to have somebody to help you out with these things.

Trust is something tat takes time to earn and give don't try to rush things because you feel like your running out of it are being impatient take it slow build it up.

I hope things go well for you.

>Because the shit you listed requires time, effort, or both to get.

And you think I was born in my ideal house? Naw my man, nothing worth having comes without effort. I hit 18 years old, looked up some web programming tutorials on the net, learned how to make websites, learned how to host servers, saved pocket-change for 2 years to buy some, set up servers and websites for other people, occasionally translated stuff online into english (it's not my main language), occasionally did work on Amazon Mechanical Turk, managed to save up even more money through all this, opened up a very small hardware and software shop in town, more dough rolled in so I just hired two of my jobless friends to manage it and now I just occasionally sweep in to check up on them.

All in all it took 5-6 years to get here but I'm finally where I wanted to be. I had no help from my parents other than living in their house during this whole time, I bought most of my food myself and paid my share of bills.

I'm not saying do the same as me, you're a different person perhaps other things make you happy, perhaps you have other skills and don't like computer stuff like me, what I'm saying is work smart not hard, and don't expect to build your Rome in a day.
Of course if you're literally starving in the slums and every day is a chance to get killed by local thugs then yeah it's not going to be easy and you'll probably need a lot more time than me. (and luck) But life's like a poker game, ya gotta play with the cards you're handed.

Fuck no. I'm completely incapable of functioning like a normal adult and I'm 21. I have no prospects in life or motivation and the only thing that I strive to better myself at is shooting guns. That's it. I don't have any friends, don't go to school and it's the only thing I hang onto and that being said, I'm not even that good of a shooter despite how often I go.

I recently noticed how I stopped having any interest in videogames and it's only getting worse. I just wish I had an outlet where I could excel in and be able to say "I'm good at this" without having to lie to myself or someone else.

Never felt happier in my life.
Entered college last year and, for the first time in my existence I'm studying about something I give a shit about, to do a job I will enjoy.
I also have tons of free time, a gigantic backlog and recently built a kickass computer.
Then I've got a couple of very close friends and supportive parents. And you guys, of course. I wouldn't want a life without /v/.

Try to go do some things with friends. A movie, go karting, roller skating anything.
Maybe do some exercising although whenever Im feeling the funk its hard to motivate myself to work out I've found that its a real good way to exercise some demons out your system
Get a new hobby. You like music? try to learn how to make some theres tons of tutorials out there man

Hope you get out of that feeling

Can't say I'm happy. Things are kind of tolerable in general of course but I just got fired (it was a vidya job too) and got all sorts of crap to take of as well so the stress is going nowhere soon.

Do you have vacation days or sick days you can use?
Try to take that time to just enjoy living rather than slogging on everyday. See if you can find a new hobby that you enjoy you don't have to be good at it either as long as you enjoy it and can find some time to relax and have fun that's more important
Try to also link up with some friends and just chill out watch some movies or get some drinks or something

Hope you break the cycle or find a new outlook
>>
in my pursuit of happiness i discovered that what helped my development most is learning to look at my own thought objectively, and realizing that "thinking too much" is a very real predicament. I'd advise anyone who's interested in self-development and who hasn't tried it yet to google meditation and practice it daily for a week or two, and see how it goes. focus on how interesting it is that it is so hard to just enjoy the sitting, how your mind is screaming at you to do something "fun" or "productive"

That sucks. But it most likely wasn't anyone's fault - if she wasn't into you, she just wasn't into you - there's probably nothing you could've done to change that. And you don't want to be together with someone just for the sake of it, that would be stupid. I wouldn't give up hope, I mean, it's easier said than done, but unless you're just a horrible person, there's a real chance that some girl might take interest in you, and it could happen under the strangest circumstances. You might actually wanna try online dating - but be sure to use a service that costs money and is build around privacy (like having photos pixelated until both parties agree to unlock them) or it'll be a shitfest.

That is why I'm not happy. Because I'm so happy.

>>337142387
I know exactly what that's like. When I first headed to college I was already depressed and never told anybody about it faked alot of smiles and I literally hated even trying to tell people how I feel. I always thought I was bothering them or adding on to more stress they had.

But trust me talking to people about it is one of the best things you can do. You don't want to end up in college buried under a pile of work while dealing with negative feelings that leave you out of it. Find some catharsis it won't be all at once and it doesn't have to be every little bit of relief you can get helps and lightens the load.

Good luck in college hope you do well and take care of yourself man

Don't give up. Like >>337142879 said, you're still young and have plenty of chances ahead. Hell, I didn't figure out what I wanted to start striving for until I was about 25 so it's definitely not too late yet. This might sound cliche as cock but given your interest in firearms, have you considered military or some other security related profession? Not saying you should go there, just curious.

With my sister having two kids outside of wedlock with a guy she was dating for 5 years and aren't together but have joint custody of the kids, and being a Roman Catholic, would my parents be able to handle the disappointment of their youngest kid being gay, who happens to be the only one to go to college for an engineering degree? I have my shit together more than my sister, going further than my dropout brother, but I feel like being gay is the last straw for them. Maybe I should never tell them, they're in their early 60s anyway.

Show them mercy.

>>337146761
If you feel you can get away with hiding it from your parents, and can live with never telling them/risking them finding out anyways, then go for it. I'd suggest actually getting your shit in order ASAP, so there's less to be disappointed about on their end, if they really are disappointed in their son being gay for some reason.

About the only reason they would be legit disappointed about is the lack of biological grandchildren on your end, but that's not too huge of an issue.
