I would have liked to have a familiar. You'll get to meet tons of people in college. My roommate experience freshman year was horrible though.

Some people said that once they moved in with a close friend, it became kind of impractical to live together. Because now you're kind of just getting a lot of negatives that come with living with someone overshadowing the fun you would have from being friends.

It goes both ways though.

A little background, pros and cons:
>Didn't get out much in highschool, most friends (including mentioned friend) were kind of shut-ins, and I don't want that lifestyle to follow me into college. This friend definitely wouldn't be exposing me to many new experiences.

>On the other hand the college I'll be attending has a reputation for being a bit of a party school. I've never been a hedonist, but having this friend around might keep me from swinging too far to the other side

How was it horrible? I'm curious about how bad it could get.

The friend isn't exactly a close friend, and he actually drives me nuts sometimes. But he's a mellow person who I'm comfortable with and I can foresee being easy to get along with.

You can consult with the place you got the piercings done, but I think in general you should probably just listen to what your body is telling you.

Try a different piece of jewelry for a month and then call it quits. Surgical stainless or silver, whichever you don't have now.

>>16947039
I live in a different place now, sadly
>you should probably just listen to what your body is telling you.
It's probably telling me to take them out,but then all my hard work and pain will have been for nothing. I really did try to take good care of them every day.

>>16947060
I have both. The sterling silver...was not very good. I've been wearing surgical stainless steel for about a whole year now

Ask them to reduce it to a non-reporting violation.

Sometimes you can go if it is a small courthouse even before your court date and ask.
You will pay the fine in full but you wont get points on your license and your insurance company wont know.

Or try to contest and hope the cop doesnt show up.

>>16947014
It is a pretty small town, so perhaps I could try the non-reporting violation idea. Who would I ask to speak to once I'm there? Thanks for the advice by the way.

>>16946997
They may allow you to make low, low, monthly payments. You should call up the borough (local courthouse, number in the back) and ask.

I do something about it instead of whining about it on 4chan.

>>16946969
Elaborate a bit more, Anon.

Yeah, that's the cause with everybody. What you do is get involved with concepts like self discipline and "brain over matter".

>>16946964
>self-depreciating jokes

Well at least you get a nice tax write-off.

>Do I just ask her what's going on in her life? Is it that straightforward?
Yeah, that's like normal conversation.

>>16946984
>Yeah, that's like normal conversation.
Aye, there's the rub.

>>16946964

>Do I just ask her what's going on in her life? Is it that straightforward?

Yeah, pretty much. If she can't keep a conversation going though, she might just be boring, dude. She might just genuinely not have much going on in her life, or in her mind, worth talking about. It's not always your fault, or your responsibility to keep a conversation going. I know you're still in the stage where you're trying to impress her, but you should really be learning...

I think it is best for you to change to a different psychologist. It doesn't seem like the one who you currently have is listening to you and your needs. You are currently facing a very stressful life event, and I think your concerns should not be taken lightly.

>>16946996
Thank you for your response.
Its weird having a psyche who doesn't want to 'go deeper'; its like she thinks I'm only there because court is stressful when really seeing my father again is stressful and I feel like a helpless child... All things I've told her too :(
My next appointment is tomorrow and I guess if I still feel the same leaving I will change.

Calling you 'emotional and dramatic' is dismissive language, and this is a bad therapist. You should absolutely see a different one.

As someone who's been through about 4 therapists myself, it's pretty common that you just won't 'gel' with some of them. Keep trying.

>>16946930

It's not insulting, more we know you have autism.

>>16946930
>Is it insulting when someone doesn't look in your eyes when talking to them?
Being able to maintain eye contact shows dominance and/or comfort. Everyone knows you're not dominant and you're not comfortable. That's about it.

>>16946963
Usually, but not always. Sometimes the other person is really ugly, or just so funny looking you cant look at them with a staight face.

The best advice i can give is to drop the subject if they just block.off your arguments. Getting heated makes them assume youre in the wrong, no matter if its true.
Certain people cant and shouldnt be argued with

>>16946918
While you may need to tone down your reaction, feeling this pissed off about willful ignorance is completely normal. They're passively destroying modern society by staying this stupid.

Cut them off and go find smart friends.

>>16946929
Thanks man. I usually stay alright during this but- fucking brain transplants! And they thought that the guy, with a completely new brain, was the same dude! I couldn't even convince this acquaintance without pulling the old tired "If its not ur brain is it rly u hurr" argument to finally convince him. Fucking hell.
I'm resolving to never talk about anything more complicated than superhero movies with coworkers again. Fuck it all.

>How do I change my personality? Frequently I notice that people don't talk to me, I have to talk to them. Like they don't want to talk to me. How do I change this around? Is there any rules of thumb for talking to people? How do I be somebody people want to talk to exactly? I used to like being me, but my normal personality just isn't liked and wanted by people.

Maybe instead of changing who you are, is to find people that are just as weird.

They are all...

I wish it was that simple, in my field of work our best friends are supposed to be our co-workers. I mean, I guess they see me as a friend, but rather then a good friend, more that naive third wheel that tags along without ever being exclusively invited a lot.

I'm currently in a major west coast fire academy for a major city department. It's my new job and occupation, I get paid and everything. These are guys I've sweat and bled with the past 3 months, and we still have 3 more to go. I want...

Do you smile much? If you already smile a lot, have you looked in the mirror to see if your smile looks genuine? I think being a pleasant person goes a long way for a start.

Try being the one to say "hi" first. If anyone asks "how are you?" try to say something that begins a conversation rather than saying "fine", such as something about an upcoming holiday or there being less/more work than usual.

People love to talk about themselves, ask them questions (that aren't...

>on the 3. Date
Do people actually try and count the dates as a prerequisite for sex? Why don't you just fuck someone when you feel like you connect?

I haven't "made it" past date 2 since high school. If I took a girl out on two dates without any kind of sexual spark, I would wonder if she had herpes or was playing games.

Yes, i DO realize. But that's kind of my problem here. I wouldn't ask otherwise, right? My sexuality seems to be all kinds of fucked up and i tend to oversexualize everything. I try to keep it down, but basically, the moment i start to have sex with a guy, that's it. That's going to be what we will be doing most of the time. I don't actually want it to be this way but i have no idea how to change or prevent...

I have Yellow Fever its a debilitating condition

do you monitor it with medication?

Yes but honestly I'm a JAV junkie and I shoot up whenever I have the chance

It is legal-ish, in the same sense that photo shopping would be. But it is also very easy for someone to have their likeness copywrited and then they would retroactively own your painting. At which point they could demand payment or its removal

Laws are different in different places of the world.
Just for future reference.

>>16946737
I see that this could be a problem. What if it happens after I publicize the art on, say, DeviantArt? I would have the copyright of my painting of their identifiable face. Would that prevent them from copyrighting their face?

If this is a relationship that I don't want to be in, would it be wrong of me to break up with her while she is here at home, visiting with friends?

>Am I overreacting?
You do sound a bit clingy.

>She got defensive and said I was being selfish, that it wasn't my place to decide what she and her friends were going to do
true. I'd still be pissed, though.

Its well within your rights to want to be with her, and she's well within hers to prioritize her friends.

You might not like it, and you should voice your concerns, but do so remembering its her choice, in the end.

>And now I'm considering if this is a relationship that I want to be in.
THAT is the choice within your power to make.

It sounds like you need to cool down a bit. Once you have, think about what you want from the relationship. If you're not getting what you want, communicate that to her - again, remembering you're not entitled to her attention. Just define what's acceptable to YOU.

I hope things work out for you two

I know its a long read, but I truly want to fix this. It just feels like shes not willing to meet me halfways. Help me /adv/
