Will try.
What about the addition of Apple Cider Vinegar, Aloe Vera, or Lemon Juice?
I really need some help. I posted on a forum on quotev to see who wanted to play on the xbox. This girl replied, 24 year old. A bit of an oddball. A week later she asks me out, and i was whatever abouf it. But then she offers to send nudes, and videos. And the alarms in my head began to sound off.
Shes very shady. Wont answer simple questions and says she has to trust me first. Wouldnt even tell me her last name. But i found her facebook, and she seems to check out as a real person...
My doubts were fading until today. I get a text from an unknown number from...

>A real girl who is just very desperate and has this crazy life, or a catfish???
Doesn't really matter either way the best option is to run
But how? Do i block both numbers and delete my quotev account? What if they reach me still, if this is some malicious trick?
>>16941067
You ignore it. This shit isn't complicated.
how do I stop being overly sensitive?
Alternatively, how do I get people to stop treating me badly?
all communication is one half outgoing information, and one half incoming information
if you push everything that comes in through a negative filter, you're going to be oversensitive to everything. So how do you stop?
>"What's a better way to interpret that?"
ask yourself that every time you feel attacked, and think about it until you find something plausible.

Become alpha

I don't understand what any of that means. Can you re-word that?

Look into the AmeriCorps, Peace Corps and other government jobs. Did you take out any student loans or do you have any debts that you need to take care of?
Also, military. Air Force or National Guard. I would consider these.
I will have no debt when I graduate and would rather not have to work for the military but I've heard government work as an option too.
>>16941055
I'm joining the Peace Corps and I am in the same position as you. I would gain experience doing what you want to through one of these outlets.
If you aren't down with the military morally (which I am not either), I would apply to AmeriCorps NCCC, FEMA Corps, Conservation Corps and if you want to travel, Peace Corps.
I went into school knowing that my major would not make me a lot of money. But I also have a lot of freedom to do what I want to do. Use your resources at your school (job...

How would one go about getting a Christian girl? I have a friend who is super Christian, like not crazy but weekly church and that sort of thing, I'm a general heathen, and we get along well as friends but I get the feeling I like her more
>>16941023
Yes
>>16941023
Find out how Christian she wants her guys to be and whether she's willing to date a non-Christian. Then decide how Christian you're willing to get in order to get with her. If she really feels the need to date another Christian and you don't feel you can do that, then you shouldn't bother trying to date her because it's just not gonna work. However, if she's comfortable with a mutual respect of each other's beliefs, or if she's ok with you being heathen provided you go to church with her every now and then, then try asking her out and see where it goes.
>>16941048
How would one go about being Christian? Like what do I have to do ? Seriously pretty heathen, I know nearly nothing about the religion other than world history, which doesn't paint it in the best of lights
How do you make it day to day? I just want to be turned off. Comfort doesn't come in any form, (drugs, money, family, friends, sex, etc.). I can't understand how people can function in their lives. Am I missing something? Some catharsis that everyone else received? I have tried talking to therapists and they always tried referring me to a psychiatrist or just telling me that they can't help me, kind of made me realize this country (U.S.A.) is a joke when it comes to mental health. How do you make it? Is there anyways for me to function like a person in my head?
i dont man, im on a downhill path and i constantly think about suicide. i dont even have that bad of a life. i just have this deep urge to end things because everything is pointless
>>16941016
Whenever I start feeling like you, OP, I remember that what I have now is better than being dead and better than being homeless. You have a roof over your head, food in your belly, and money in your pocket. Life ain't so bad, anon.
>Am I missing something?
There will always be unpleasant things in life to overcome, but happiness does not come from getting what you want - it comes from learning to love the struggle.
Had a toxic relationship with my (now ex) gf, and I decided to end it. She was manipulating me and doing things that really were kinda wrong. I even went to a psychologist and I got that answer (that she was a manipulator and a toxic person).
She still talks to me, because "she doesn't want me out of her life", and she still tells me very, very intimate/personal stuff.
I'm ok with that but she's acting in specific ways in front of me, like hugging dudes or her ex boyfriend (not me) just when i'm around. I never said something or reacted,...

Stay away and try to avoid her maybe?
Anon, remove her from your life immediately. You and your psych already said it. She is toxic and manipulative. Blocking her on all social media and not talking to her is the antidote. Don't let her have power over you or your emotions. Move. On. Trust me, you'll feel better as time goes on.
>>16941181
Thanks for the advice, I know that's what I have to do. She's scary because she said stuff like "I saw you as someone that I would marry", very creepy stuff.
I see her in a daily basis and I can't avoid that (College). These 2 weeks I'm able to avoid her luckily. But I need a way to overcome that without getting out of school...
I met this guy off a dating site who looked good in his pics but when we met up he was a lot more chubby than what his pics were. We have a lot in common and if he was skinnier I could see myself in a relationship with him but I can not see myself having sex with him. The thought of his stomach fat moving around like jelly turns me off.
He wants to go on another date how do I turn him down without saying it's because he is too chubby?
how fat exactly? like pic? thats nothing.
but anyway why not give him ideas to work on his body? this could be the encouragement he needs to better him body. for a qt girl
>>16940984
"Anon, you don't really look like your pictures and you're fat. It's not going to work for me. Good bye and good luck in the future. Also, hit the gym you fat slob."
There. Easy, right?
you went on ONE date and you're asking how to break it off? Fuck off with this shit bait, anyone going on one single date is just going to ghost out and stop replying.
Still, you're probably a bitter hamplanet woman so the same advice is going to apply either way: Fat people are disgusting tubs of shit, and you should be brutally honest with "him" about what's wrong, suggest that he may be a completely fine person on the inside, but the fat on the outside is disgusting, shows poor impulse control and is sexually unappealing and is a complete dealbreaker....

I am trying to compile the ultimate rekt thread. Is this a good place to find content?
>looking for rekt
nah, try your mom's vagina instead
>>16941045
Done bruh. Most of the rekt material on the surface web is shit that is over ten years old.
Why do you want to do this?
Hey /adv/, I was wondering how many of you have actually used antidepressants and your experience with them? I'm not depressed, I just have major social anxiety problems that haven't helped me throughout my life and I'm looking for anything to help. There's these two prescriptions I heard about, sertraline and paroxetine, I heard they help with my sort of problems, which are mainly just being really shy and awkward. If you wouldn't recommend medication, what would you recommend?
I've been on 14 drugs for depression, about 10 of them being typical antidepressants; SSRIs, SNRIs, NDRIs, and TCAs, mostly. I've been on Sertraline and Paroxetine, too, if only because at this point I've been on the majority of commonly taken antidepressants.
I'd definitely recommend drugs, considering that they're the only thing that's really helped me. I've done CBT and DBT before, and I didn't think it was that helpful once I'd stopped cutting myself. Neither made me a lot more functional or better able to deal with my...

This. I have an extreme anxiety disorder and depression for past twelve years. Have been on anti depressant medication for a couple years now. I have yet to find a medicine that works best for me.
Do not start with high dosage I found when it was a high dosage it made my emotions numb.
Zero,Iv had a history but I think my way through things,no way am I messing my neurotransmitters by some alien substance.
Marrying someone with kids leads to extreme misery more than 95% of the time.
Pic related? I would not marry Putin kids or no kids.
True.
also why would anyone do this? i dont wanna raise someone elses child
>>16940906
i doubt it is pic related

>>16940867
you could suck a married dude off for a few hundred bucks, provided you're good looking enough
Well I was going to help you, but
>shit i will even steal some stuff if i have too
makes me think you're an idiot, which is why you probably can't think of a way to make money.

Today while using my PC the monitor suddenly went black and the fans turned on high, just like they normally do for a few seconds upon booting, bit now they stay on. It is completely unresponsive in this state and returns to it after unplugging and turning on again.
I have checked that the monitor is working and thus is seems it is obviously a hardware problem. Any idea what this is? I'm on the verge of bringing it to a repair shop, but if this is something obvious to you that I could replace myself, would love to hear about it.
>>16940845
sounds like a heat problem
>>16940855
First post best post
>>16940855
explain pls.
Did something overheat and break? Too much dust?
I left my cheating boyfriend but now I feel bad and can only think about everything good in him.
He didn't cheat physically but he was arranging meetings for sex with people on the internet but never showed up. Also he tried to get his ex back twice while he was with me. He lied to me for two years and did this all regularly until I caught him.
I just haven't been able to be myself with anyone else before and I am scared I won't meet anyone better.
But I did the right thing, right?
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
do you think you did the right thing? Thats all that matters; your life not anyone elses. Do you want to be with someone who does thosr things or not. That is your choice.
>>16940836
I think you did the right thing. He didn't have your best intentions in mind. He was taking care of himself.
