I think my mom is trying to extort me for money.

Mine coasted barely on $1,200/month with me growing up, when I moved out making almost triple what she made in my 18 years under her roof, along came the "I starved myself some days just so you can eat! I bought you that videogame with my only savings!"
>>16940549 She is your mother. She gave you life. Yes you owe here. I plan on bringing my parents into my house instead of letting them live in a nursing home. It's a natural reaction for parents to do what your mom is doing when their children are successful, but at first just appease her and she will calm down. I think she seeks reassurance that you care about her still through the money. May sound crazy but it's actually true that many mothers do this. And even if she is in it just for the money, she made sure... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
So i got this cousin who wants me to desperately go with him to this license acquisition training and i have no idea what to study for, i have asked him before hand many times what i should study for or if there was anything to look out for before even considering applying to such a place for it but he has not been open with me as to what kind of topics would be covered in the one week course, i would like to know a story or two from you anons on how your security license went in north america and if it really was like he said "easy".

My main issue is waking up tomorrow in the morning around 6 and realizing i am about to go to something i had no intention of going to and completely messing it all up, along with CAD $290
I am still hoping for some help from any of you even if you hadn't had the experience i would like to hear some ways around this that i can come out on top of it. I feel like i really do need your advice.
I don't want to write another "I'm so depressed" post, but it's not going too well. Everything is shit. It's been that way for a long time.
I don't know what to do and I'm confused and tired. I'm stuck in a negative thought spiral and I have no idea how to break out of my general confusion and negativity. I have access to Nembutal and I'm thinking about taking my life. It would be easy and painless.

Hey if you're serious about suicide then mental hospital can't hurt. It doesn't get much worse than being dead.
From the sounds of things there probably isn't much that can be said that you haven't heard already. So I guess the only thing I can tell you in my state of unknowing is to keep trying to change things until something works.
>>16940515 I'd of course recommend going into the mental hospital, but other than that I say that you should try something different in your life. Try talking to new people or just do something drastically different. If you're stuck in a rut then you not going to get out unless you change something. Now you may be an awkward fuck but all it takes to meet new people and do new things is either apathy or false confidence. My hope is that by changing your life in some way your break out of the "negative thought... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
How do I stop getting attached easily and valuing girls so highly when I get attached? I end up checking my phone constantly, and become clingy. I check their twitter to see if they're posting while ignoring me and I overthink everything. When I don't get instant replies I start to think maybe she doesn't like me anymore. I wish I could just not care as much, but I can't help it. People say to just get a hobby and get into that, but I have a good number of them, and I can't concentrate on any of them because I end up thinking about this girl. This... Comment too long.

>>16940493 I'm literally the exact same way man. I just listen to songs I find to be romantic while thinking about her. Or at least I used to when I loved her. Don't worry, love never lasts haha
I'm angry about a past relationship. It isn't my first break up, though it was my first serious relationship. Other times me and girls have parted ways, I've been sad or remorseful, but about this instance, I've been angry and resentful for upcoming on six months now. I spend time at least once a day thinking about how angry I am. How do I stop myself from being so angry? I don't really want to be - I just want to understand that she's a really bad person and move on.
>>16940486 Anon let me tell you a little story. I have been and still am in your shoes. It's been exactly one year. She was my best friend and I honestly wanted to marry her, but personally both of us weren't mature enough to be that kind of couple, and when my depression hit, and I slowly became this out of shape ED'd mess of a human being, you sometimes realize that both of you have issues and that your ex maybe wasn't good or as terrific as you thought.
Your angry because of the same reason I am... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>16940540 I'm perfectly mentally fit still. She was very immature while I was mature enough, certainly. I'm angry that I put so much effort into her even though she was a loser and I have no interest in her coming back. She's cute and has cool interests, but she's a drain and a selfish brat.
Holy shit, my friend's kid has extreme emotional problems. She told him to do his homework and he started crying and yelling like he does about half the time he's told to do this. Shit kept escalating and now he's been screaming for about an hour and a half and acting as if his mom is going to kill him. All over some homework. I don't even think he knows why he's so upset.
I don't know what advice I'm here for either. Just kinda needed to vent. Not really sure there is anything I can do anyway since it's not my kid.
Yo guys on /adv/! I normally stick to /b/ and /pol/ but I have a question I don't want a bullshit answer to. I am a male and I really want to know if I should trim, shave completely, or let it go wild down there.
Shaving bald can be tricky if you don't do it right, concerning razor bumps and post-shave itching. What I personally suggest (OPINION) is that you try it all out before you decide what is best for yourself. Try a month trimming, then a month balding, and so on, until you form your preference.
A woman I was having some casual encounters with gave me a text for the first time in a few weeks... and I felt so uninterested I didn't even reply. I feel so completely uninterested in sex now that I've started taking Zoloft. I can't even genuinely tell you if I am happier or not. I guess I'm not awfully depressed the way I was a while ago, but man... I kind of wish I was interested in sex again. I don't feel any desire to talk to other women either I just... don't think about it. Even looking... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Is there anyone here who feels they are overall consistently happy?
I feel like I experience happy moments during about 5% of my waking life... rest of it is anxiety, boredom, sadness, regret... etc. I feel like feelings of happiness exist but are crowded out by everything else. I can love my life for a moment then want to kill myself in the next one.
I just wanna know if its possible to feel more happiness or if its normal to feel this way...
>>16940411 A couple years ago I was trapped in a relationship and I felt just about the same. I wanted to end my life. I felt like nothing would ever get better.
Today I feel free. I feel happy. I'm not surrounded by millions of friends. I find happiness in seeing little bits of hope everyday. Find something you like everyday, and remind yourself that if you were dead, you could never see that thing.
The world is fucked up, and you may feel fucked up too. But just know you aren't alone. Stick around... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Yes I feel happy most of the time but it's also overwhelming to be in a constant state of joy...I'm exhausted by laughing/smiling too much. No kidding.
I must admit, first semester was a breeze but now i'm running into some struggles

i'm definitely considering this for next year since I don't have to worry about the scholarship that I was applying during first semester. The deal was if I get high grades in 5 classes... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
In two months I'm moving to a new city with my job. Aside from work I don't socialize. Zero friends and that's not an exaggeration. Someone else's post got me thinking. You know, this is kind of an opportunity.
See I'm so shy and fucked up I can barely talk to people in public. Like even asking where something is in the grocery store I start to stutter. Can't make eye contact with waitresses. That kind of thing.
But if I was to force myself to start socializing. Just making small talk, have a casual conversation with a girl... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>I just want to practice talking to humans like humans.
honestly this is actually the best way to get laid, but I feel you dude.
getting out of your comfort zone is always a good idea to prompt change in yourself.
The best way to strike up a conversation with a random stranger is simply to comment on some sort of mutual experience, some sort of commonality. If you're waiting for the bus, you commiserate about waiting for the bus. If you're getting coffee you comment about needing some caffeine. If the store you're... Comment too long.

I want to text my ex SO badly. We broke up a little over 2 months ago. He went no-contact on me, never responded to any of my messages (left quite a few over the course of a month. Ugh.). A week ago he saw me out with a guy at a bar, and according to our mutual friend he was "bothered by it but knew it was to be expected." But then again he could have lied. It would be too long to post the scenario
Has it been long enough? Should I wait another month? Any of you have stories of things working out after a break up? PLS
In short, he broke up with out of anger. Wasn't the first time we did this, but since the previous times he would get back to me, I figured it would happen again... but I got a little desperado there with how many messages I sent.
>>16940370 I've been trying. I really have. Been hitting up old friends, current friends, trying to meet new friends. I've gone on a date, and then met another guy recently but they were both just looking for a fling/fuck or whatever because I found out one had a gf and the other was a traveler. The friends I have are all in a bad place in their life, or use me, or boring, or don't like the things I do and everything seems so bland and sad and pointless.
