I think that a cheap way to suicide, without making it look intentional, is choking on food. Specifically peanut butter, as it is already a choking hazard before any intentional lodging attempts are made. People would further understand that such a substance would be difficult to remove, especially if the wad was lodged far down the throat.
It is common among my friends to eat a spoonful of peanut butter plain. I think that any involuntary convulsions would mask the look of intentional placement.
Is this a good plan? I don't particularly care that it would hurt, or make me look ridiculous. All death is undignified enough to not care about that. Seriously, you will shit and piss yourself no matter how it happens. Then, if nobody was expecting your death or your company, you will bloat in a puddle of your own excrement, probably in a weird position with a dumb look on your face. That is how all people die.

Suffocation is one of the most painful and terrifying ways to die. Your body will try every method it can to breathe again, this isn't an option.
It's like when a little kid holds his breath, it's a stupid plan
>>16998358
One of the worst and most prolonged ways to die . Also, high chan e of survival. Your body can typically go six minutes with air. Once they clear your airway, you're back to living and hen you are the loser who almost died to peanut butter.
Same way with drowning, you actually puke a bunch before drowning - hence you actually suffocate from your own puke before the water fully makes it down.
>>16998358
Sounds like it would be difficult to reliably ensure your death, and if you fail then for the rest of your life you're the dummy who nearly killed himself eating peanut butter.
How should I go about doing research on the US presidential candidates? They all seem awful. Should I just give up since a single vote is worthless.
>>16998354
Honestly if you haven't taken college courses on economics and history it's pretty hard to pick the right candidate.
Most people resort to researching very basic "social issues" and voting based off of that. Unfortunately social issues are usually bullshit and are pretty biased depending on where your getting the info.
I'm voting for Trump, because I want lower taxes, less war, localized education, more competition in health care, and somebody who understands free trade.
>>16998361
I considered Bernie since he seems the least corrupt but he doesn't seem to understand how capitalism works
Is there something to specifically look for other than "social issues" anywhere to go for unbiased information?

I want to move out of my city. I live in niggerville Louisiana and I want to move way north, like to North Dakota or Michigan. How feasible is this? Has any anon moved cross-country before?
I have a fair amount of money saved up for an apartment, but I don't know to actually execute the process without fucking up somehow--e.g moving all my shit there soundly, temporary stays until I am in my apartment, etc. Any /adv/?
>>16998292
>is it feasible to move
yes, people do tihs every day. how is this a question?
unfortunately we dont know your exact finances so we cant tell you. most people recommend having 6 months of finances saved up on top of moving costs.
as for moving your stuff, how important is it? most single people pack only what can fit in their car, and sell the rest / buy new furniture when they get there. if that is not an option just start googling for moving companies that can transfer the stuff for you, OR, if you dont need to move THAT much stuff, rent a uhaul.
gauge how much you want / need to bring and go from there.
so heres a fun thing, north dakota is literally less than 800 thousand people in the state. compare that to michigan which has about 9.9 million.
population is kind of something to consider. from what i gather north dakota is a lot more rural, its a seires of small towns and i think a hell of a lot of farms. it seems to have a low unemployment rate, but that doesnt mean its good for someone new. small populations are all a 'its about hwo you know' kind of place. a large amount of that employment rate is also probably family run farms.
it might be REALLY hard to actually find an apartment here. i mean you'd find it, but its not like other states where the apartment sare a dime a dozen and are located iwth an influx of jobs
michigans a bigger population in about the same sie, little smaller land wise, so its economy is actually like everyhwere else, as in, its based on serving the people in the aera, as opposed to creating a big export for the restof the country like most small towns rely on.
what do you look for in a new place?
>>16998316
>a large amount of that employment rate is also probably family run farms.
very good point. I'm mainly just looking to experience a new place because I've lived in LA my entire life--awful weather, high crime rate, and shitty scenery. I'm not really looking for anything special in a new place, it doesn't have to be too great--just a new area with job prosperity preferably, which as you noted Michigan would be a lot better. I appreciate your 2 cents.
I need some help here. I have really fallen for this guy, he used to be my coworker. He approached me first at work and many of our coworkers started making up rumors. He told me he hated the drama and well, we went on some small date. But after this he became hostile towards me since he was worried that he will get in trouble with the store policy. So after some time I could tell her had someone else, he was always on the phone. I decided to forget about him but before he quit, he started to give me compliments and talking to me again.
We didn't really talk after so I decided to text him recently after like 2 months and I asked him if he had a gf. He told me he had broken up and I asked him to meet whenever. He agreed and then we started texting a lot. He invited me to a dinner and he said he was feeling happy around me and he was attracted to me, etc. I also explained to him that I had feelings about him and he was surprised saying that we don't know each other that much and we should spend more time together.
So the day before the dinner we were texting and suddenly he got all mad. About the rumors at the store, that he does not know what I want out of him, that I am confusing, etc. I was trying to be deep and he thought I was mocking him. So he said that we are done and the only way I can earn his trust is if I send him a regular picture of me, otherwise he is blocking me. I did not send any but I tried calling him and such and he was just hanging down. The other day I decided to send him one, it was not a big deal but he didn't reply back and I am not even sure if he truly blocked me.
So is there any way to get this guy back to talk to me? It is all because of a misunderstanding. I am thinking to put a mutual person we have to talk to him but he might think that I spread our business around. Suggestions?
He sounds like he has issues. I'd throw this fish back.
Um. He sounds unstable as all fuck. Run. Wtf are you doing????
he really sounds weird, honestly. Someone who becomes mean to you over the smallest things shouldn't be worth your attention. From your story, that happened twice already. Find someone who will think you are amazing and will be happy to spend time with you and talking to you.
Every time I masturbate twice in a short interval of time, it feels like I have a urinary track infection. Does anyone else experience this issue? I am afraid this might become an issue when I have sex.
it happens, just cut back a lil bit.
He who masturbates can have no soul.
only happens if i go over 7-8 times in 24hrs.
just pretend you had sex, and caught std

Help me
Not sure what you're expecting. You're horny, which is fine on its own. Are you asking advice on how to get laid? 4chan is one of the worst places for that kind of advice, to be honest.
As for not wanting romance, that's okay too. What about friends, male or female? IMO, it's healthy to be able to have platonic female friends. (You can at least get direct advice from them, if you're at that level.)
>>16998007
>Going on 4chan
I don't know of a place where I could get better advice, but if you could tell me of another site that gives better advice then I would really appreciate it.
>Platonic relationships
I wouldn't even know how to go about hitting a relationship like that off.
>Friends
I have a good number of friends from about 3-4 different social circles. Sports, parties, neighborhood friends, people from school, etc. Of course, some are closer than others.
>>16998024
Wait, I misread the word "platonic." Yes, I have female friends that I have no romantic interest in that I get advice from time to time. I just can't say this sort of shit to them in person because I know for a fact that they wouldn't understand, because they come from stable families and that I'm the weird one for living with a widowed grandparent.
I feel as if the biggest problem with me is that I'm emotionally broken, or at least that I believe that I am. I will never be able to bring myself to love another person, despite how much I wish I could. I don't even care for my immediate family as much as I feel like I should, I just appreciate what they do for me.
I thought I was asexual for the past 2-3 years, and I'm only saying this because I think people would use puberty as a potential argument. I had no interest in talking to girls whatsoever, and I never said a word to them unless they talked to me first.
Can someone please help me?
All my life people have walked out on me. Best friends and shit... But most recently was my Grandfather. How do I deal with this? The man who taught me to read, write, ride a bike, fish, shoot a gun, talk, and how to defend myself doesn't even want to speak to me. I can't deal with this. Why does everyone either leave me or die? Why is my life like this? Am i destined to be alone forever, with nobody to give me company except animals and video game characters? Why do they all leave... Please... Help me overcome this pain... I feel it in my chest while writing this. This phantom pain hasn't gone away since he left... Please help me...

If it's that bad, consider a crisis line; you don't have to be suicidal, but it's someone to listen non-judgmentally. They can help you in the immediate term.
But in the morning, start calling mental health places. You seem very unstable, which I can sympathize with.
Myself I'm seeing a therapist (for talking things out) and a nurse practitioner (for meds).
Why has everyone walked out on you OP? There must be a reason, especially your grandfather...
>>16997989
>The man who taught me to read, write, ride a bike, fish, shoot a gun, talk, and how to defend myself doesn't even want to speak to me.
Geez. I'm sorry to hear that.
Any odea what was going through his head? I'm not saying his reasons were good -they probably aren't- but it would be useful to know.
Has anyone here improved holding eye contact with others? I'm less autistic about it when talking to people I know but I find myself looking away from strangers quickly if I catch their eyes
It's pretty normal to not keep direct eye contact with another stranger unless you are VERY outgoing. In my opinion atleast.
I have a smaller iris and poor vision in my right eye, a possible stribism as well and looking at people is difficult for me. The vision is so poor my better eye dominates my perception and I just can't trust what mu eye is doing in such an intense interaction. It bums me out but I try to try :(
>>16997962
"Looking people in the eye" is just a phrase. In fact we spend more time looking them in the mouth, because we all lip-read more than we realize.
It really means looking them in the face, rather than looking away. You don't have to latch on their eyes - just stop yourself from turning away or looking at your feet.

Jesus christ, fuck my life. I'm a fucking mess, I'm trying to move on and I'm not even sure if what I did is ok. Do you anons think that my decision in not hooking up soon is ok?
everyone is better off alone, misery comes from other people.
>>16997950
>use a "dating" app to meet new friends
You should state in your description that you're only interested in making friends. That way other men wouldn't try to ask you out for hook ups
>>16997950
if you're not ready for sex then that's fine, you don't have to have it
if he's just in it for the sex then w/e, there will be other dudes for you and other girls for him
if he's generally interested in you then start from there
>made this thread yesterday
>told to go to therapy

Well then I guess I'll try again.
I think I might have a serious deep-rooted fear when it comes to relationships, sex, and women.
Although I have the common anxiety issues, I don't have problems with self-esteem (I think) and do well in public speaking. I'm fairly fit, and have been called attractive multiple times. I fit in pretty well socially (exceptional amongst guys) and in groups I tend to be one of the funniest and active.
However, I can't really grasp the concept of me being romantic or sexual with women, like it is something that is completely taboo. I mean I've had many girls show pretty heavy interest in me but I always become avoidant, pretend to be oblivious and cold when it happens. I've even had dreams in which I end up cucking my own self from ready and willing partners, basically Ive never had a real wet-dream. Even just touching them accidentally makes me jump and pull back as if I hit them with a bat or something.
Consequently, I have no understanding of how relationships, boundaries (as anything outside of a handshake feels like I'm trespassing), and flirtatious communication work.
I'm not entirely sure what is wrong with me or if this is result of bullying or whatever but if anybody can offer insight or help please reply.

i guess you are scared of getting your heart broken?
are you scared to open up to other people?
>>16997972
>i guess you are scared of getting your heart broken?
Possibly, but I have no clue what that kind of experience is like or what it fully entails.
are you scared to open up to other people?
Please elaborate on this, I've never really understood what classifies as "opening up". Ive been very passionate when discussing things I care about with people, but if you are referring to telling others insecurities and my own vulnerabilities, it has never happened.
>>16997934
Neat, I have this too.
I have no idea why, but it's annoying. I've sort of just given up on pursuing romance as a result, but if anyone has alternative ideas, that'd be cool too I guess.
>>16997972
Fear probably is the root cause of this somehow, but I don't think it's fear of being broken or manipulated o whatever by opening up to people or anything along those lines.
If anything it's probably related to fear of extending beyond social norms or something, but I can't tie it down specifically enough to do something about it.
I like it when people are angry in general. The Brussels attacks and the Walking Dead finale felt like magic
Feels like magic.
You feed off it emotionally?
I wish I was like you Anon T_T
I like when my gf is angry at me. Is it maybe because you like the raw emotion? Or possibly the change in dynamic?
i'd just like someone to talk to
all my life i've been in special ed
hanging out with toxic groups
recently fell into infatuation with a girl who will never like me
bad grades
no idea what to do for college
i'm a senior in highschool
and i want to become the greatest there ever was
but fuck
>>16997896
>I'd just like someone to talk to
You have Omegle, school or jobs. Find an opportunity to say "hi, I'm anon" to someone personally and try to have a conversation with them.
>all my life i've been in special ed
Sorry, don't know what that is like. Would you elaborate?
>hanging out with toxic groups
Just avoid them. Say you're not interested in hanging out further or distance yourself gradually. I thought you didn't have anyone to talk to, though. What happened?
>recently fell into infatuation with a girl who will never like me
That's being pessimistic, but it happens to all of us at some point. I'm unattractive, and certainly not very interesting to the average girl, but I'm willing to pursue a relationship with my crush anyways. Is it confidence? I dunno, but I'll at LEAST give a "Wanna hang out this weekend?" a try.
>bad grades
You can fix this. Study, not exhaustively, just with more quality: if you can't understand textbooks, get someone to help you. It's a nice pretext for a conversation, from the first thing you mentioned, don't you think?
>no idea what to do for college
>I'm a senior in highschool
>and i want to become the greatest there ever was
Ask around what people are doing for college and why. Humans are great at "borrowing points of view". You could at least get some ideas, and if not, don't worry, postpone college until you decided it's something you want to go through.
As for being the greatest there ever was: ditch that. It's not realistic, and if you worry about it too much, you'll get pretty frustrated in life. Strive to be happy. Perhaps what you want is attention and not to be the greatest at something.
Dude, kinda in the same boat, im not in special needs, but quit worrying about the grades thing and future for now. Just try to steadily improve the grades, and then just talk to more people in school. And dude, sometimes theres lonely times in life. Just gotta keep ya head up and enjoy yourself sometimes
>>16997936
>would you elaborate on special ed
Well apparently adhd specifies for special needs classes. Imagine being put into a special needs class for no reason. Adhd isnt an excuse, I know alot of my friends have adhd. Also, there is about 5 people attending it, out of 300 or so seniors.
>just avoid them
Well then I'd have no more friends :(
Idk, they're not really toxic. Just mean I guess. No girls really hang around us lol. They tend to play video games alot and it's my fault for not being the one who is true to myself and stop playing video games for a girl.
>crush
Yeah I've asked her if she'd like to do something sometime, being after our first conversation. She said she has a bf, and I basically told her ah bummer alright, so I'm pretty proud of that I guess. She has a bf and I can't do anything about it.
Thanks anon. I think I need to quit being a bitch. Anything I should do before highschool ends? It seems like my mental direction and mindset has changed completely from 11th grade, and fast. So I'm a bit scared of feeling regret in the future
For a month I fucked around with this one girl who was a boss. She was on top of her shit, she was confident, she was smart, had a 'no bullshit' /'leader' personality. To be an MBTI faggot, she was the ENTJ to my INTP.
She wasn't exactly the 'prettiest' girl i've been involved with, but I was attracted to the whole package. She was snarky and sarcastic, sometimes a little bitchy, but I enjoyed every minute of it in a weird way.
My ex of 3 years didn't compare. None of my flings or other hookups could compare. This girl was the shit.
But all the traits I liked in her were... masculine. Every girl I've interacted was on that meek ladylike feminine shit that I find annoying as fuck. I haven't run into anyone like her in a year. Essentially I feel like I want to date a man in a woman's body. Finding one that isn't a lesbian is really fucking hard.
Where should I go to find women like this? Is it impossible? Should I just go gay?
There are plenty of women like that if you know where to look. Don't become gay unless you genuinely want dicks in your ass.
>>16997875
Look for them in hobbies you would enjoy doing, like sports, hiking, biking, more 'rough' stuff. Or alternatively, cow girls that actually had to work on the farm and didn't just get to brush their pretty ponies all day and ride around.
Basically, if you want a girl that has her shit together and has an interesting personality, look for them in places where they might be.
>>16997875
Why did things end with boss lady?
Pic related is everything my community college offers
Which would be the best for a cozy career with lots of job openings and a decent livable salary?
Welding, Nursing, Electrical all stand out.
Automotive Tech and associated trades.
I mean, "cozy career" is relative, but you'll be able to make a great living doing blue collar things.
>>16997846
if you don't do electrical tech then you're robbing yourself of a rewarding career with endless opportunities
>Friends with someone for over a year
>We start dating a month ago
>It's been pretty much perfect
>A couple of days ago he started being more distant
>He barely spends time with me or talks to me
>He just gives me a cold shoulder if I ask what's wrong
What should I do? Just leave him alone for a while? I really want things to be like they used to.
I would guess he's done. Could be a narcissist or sociopath too and is tucking with your head.
Either way I'd stop communication. If he starts coming around wanting you back and for everything to be great, read up on narcissistic relationships.
Been there, done that. It's a ride you want off asap.
>>16997859
Thats a huge conclusion to jump to just because someone is distant.
I didn't jump to any conclusions. I just made some suggestions based on past experience.
