I'll get banned or they'll go "wahhh, not ur tech support"

If they're legitimate (i.e. they actually encrypted your files) then there is nothing you can do. Wipe the drive and start over.

It's not uncommon, but it is potentially damaging depending on the details. If you think it has negatively impacted you then you should talk to a professional.

>>16945847
It certainly would've been for me.

Story time OP

Because doing that is the essence of selfishness. See, there's consequences to life. It's why we can't do whatever we want. Yeah, sounds good in theory but then you're screwing up other people's lives - and even if you don't care, they do. Life isn't all about you. I wish the rest of the tumblrites would learn this.

>>16945852
No, I'm more asking why it screws up other peoples lives.

>>16945846
Because humans are naturally jealous and want to keep their mate to themselves. It's an instinct and an emotion that we can't just simply will away. It's ingrained within us and isn't going anywhere.

"your tattoos look stupid" obvio

But that begs the question:
>why do you want to tell her

Obviously she's not asking. Otherwise you'd just answer her.

So you have an unsolicited opinion. A completely useless unsolicited opinion, since no matter what you say the damn tattoo isn't coming off.
>so you keep your dumb mouth shut

>>16945781

by saying
>your tattoos look stupid

the fact that you think they are stupid and want to to tell her suggests that you dont care about her at all, so why sugarcoat it? they are permanent after all. its like going up to someone and saying 'your teeth are really fucked up yo'

they know their teeth are fucked up. not much they can do about it or else they would.

so why ask us how to tell someone something when you clearly dont care abotu them?

Has she asked you for your opinion? Is there a reason she should care what you think?

therapy.

What the fuck, why

I cannot imagine being so pathetic that I try to kill myself just because I can't handle living alone. It blows my mind that anyone could even be that way. You seriously need some hardcore therapy, and you need it now.

That's the thing, I dont fucking smoke.

Would you be "offended" if she wanted to have sex with you? If anything she's going to think you're not attracted to her if you don't initiate. Just tell your partner that you want to have sex and then do it. I don't know where so many guys get this ridiculous idea that sex offends women.

You don't need rights in order to have feelings. However you have to communicate those feelings to your partner and realistically consider what it means to your relationship. Be direct and encourage her to ask questions rather than making assumptions. Otherwise it's really easy for her to jump from "doesn't want sex" to "doesn't find me attractive anymore." The conversation should follow a format something like

>you: briefly state how you're feeling
>her: questions for clarity
>you: your concerns about what it means for the relationship
>her: her input on what it means for the relationship
>you: your ideas about how you want this to resolve
>her: her feedback on those ideas

You should just tell her that you've not been in the mood lately. She should understand.

Everybody has periods like this. Not everybody wants sex all the time.

>>16945766
You seem to have misread.

OP said that he didn't want to have sex.

>>16945715

I don't want to play net-doctor or anything, but losing interest in your normal hobbies, problems concentrating - all symptoms of a budding depression.
Maybe take a step back, blank one of the exams for some breathing space, and consider if anything needs changing in your life?

>>16945713
Yeah, I was thinking about the depression symptoms myself. But, besides this ''brain fog'' or whatever you wanna call it, I generally feel alright. Now, there certainly are some things that I should change in my life but I don't know what I should change first. I also don't have much time for self-improvement at the moment because I'm preparing for college, studying and stuff.

>>16945725
Hmm. This might sound really general, and not that helpful, but dealing with depression and being sort of wobbly in the head has taught me that I generally need to strike some kinda balance between pushing myself, and letting go. Beign able to step back, say "Okay, I fucked up, no use in beating myself up." and then chilling the fuck out until I'm ready to be a useful member of society once more.

Not that I think you have depression, but you might jsut be stressed out and getting a little scatterbrained because of that, and it is useful advice in any case. I hope.

Everytime you wanna take a nap think of your post and do something too better yourself

It sounds like your problem is that you're trying to hard to be nice and the funny guy, and that's making you come off as either the type of person that's actually difficult to relax around (because sometimes religious people, even if they're nice, are pretty up-tight) or maybe they're just crappy friends, or maybe that the fact that you're trying so hard is evident and makes you seem a little phony/hard to relate/bond with.

The underlying depression and anxiety kind of hints at that too.

The solution, just keep doing what your doing, and do it so that YOU enjoy yourself. You don't need them to do that. And nothing's stopping you from going out in to the world, sitting down at a restaurant or a bar, and making new friends.

>most people describe me as the guy who brings life to a group
>never invited to things with people

picj one and only one

If it was, then what difference would it make if you were asleep? Computers in general would be dangerous to be around, don't you think?

I really doubt it. We have (inter)national safety standards for a reason, man.

Computers do emit an extremely small amount of electromagnetic radiation when they're turned on. That is a fact.

But it is hard to understate the size of that dose. Using a CRT monitor for a whole month gives you less of a dose of radiation than eating one banana does.

Or, to put it another way, fib fact: all living things emit a small amount of radiation too. Sleeping next to a computer gives you less of a dose of radiation than sleeping next to a person. But you never hear of spouses sleeping with lead sheets between them. The reason for this is simple: doses that tiny are safe. And so is sleeping in the same room as a computer.

>implying the army would recruit you

they require your work history and a credit check as well. you thought this was a game?

>>16945601
Yeah i know they require all of that but i think i would get in im in good shape and im noy in any debt

>>16945594

Obviously you don't give good interview.

It's a skill, like any other, and can be learned, like any other. There are loads of books and websites on How To Shine At Interviews.

>While I love my gf now, my first one was better in every way.

It's normal for you to imagine this even if it's completely untrue. You repress and forget bad memories long term, and you hang onto good ones. As a result, everything seems better the further back you go.

>>16945595
This. If you are currently dating somebody they don't seem THAT awesome sometines because you are so caught upnin everyday life and little arguments. If you could fast forward a few years, and would think back to your current gf i'm sure she would look even better than your ex does now.

Is this a form of emotional cheating?

>>16945565
>Should I confront him

About what? Just date her and let him know you didn't do it to be a dick to him. If he can't handle hit that's not your problem, and he shouldn't make it your problem. He doesn't have a right to her just because he likes her, that's a stupid expectation if he has it.

>>16945571
yes that is true but it would be kinda awkward don't you think?

>>16945575
The awkwardness is really from him being rejected by her, and that's already there anyway.

>>16945520
Wait, did she just meet BOTH of you?

Holy shit how about she's just kind of a super slut?

>>16945539
nah the one she went home with she knew already, hence why she came to his birthday do.

>>16945520
Somebody cuck my shit up
