Is there a way I can blush easier?
I want to be a cute little embarrassed shota for my girlfriend, I want to blush more.
Well, start with taking everything extremely personal. Today i blushed HARD because a teacher told one of the guys in the class i work with that some of the little girls a few classes below are crushing on him. In front of everybody... I was so embarassed for the teacher and the guy that i went red like a tomato. And then i was so embarassed that i was embarassed by this that i couldn't stop blushin. Fml

I blush non stop literally my face is red and hot the second I have any type of interaction so no I can't justify this thread fuck you

Sup /adv/, I'm an insecure kissless virgin beta fag. Do you know any books that might help? I prefer short ones. Any tips on stopping being like that?
>>16931727
You dont need books to kill yourself.
Just Bing it.

>>16931729
just don't
>>16931733
srsly? who uses bing? plus i'm too much of a pussy to actually do it
>>16931727
books wont do you much good, the fact that you insist on short ones shows you dont take any of it seriously enough.
the biggest and greatest tip you will get is to go outside and talk to people
>BUT ANON YOU CANT JUST WALK UP TO PEOPLE AND TALK TO THEM
you can, its totally legal. i do this every day somewhere or another.
go to a bookstore and wait in your favorite aisle. wait til someone (Anyone, not just a pretty girl) comes up to look for a book. ask her what shes looking for. if you have read that book, comment, if not, ask about it. say you are really into this genre but arent sure what to read next. shenanigans ensue. she might just be like 'oh here it is' and run off. let her. this isnt about getting everything to work. a lot of people are in their own world. keep trying til you find one who isnt.
can also do this at a movie store, at the theater, at a bar, at any place really. just wait around something you know a bit about, then talk t osomeone who comes up to that area. but you actually gotta talk. not 'wait for a nice opportunity'. act like its normal and it will be.
fuck even on the bus i just sit down and say 'hey hows it going? where you headed? oh thats cool whats that like? oh im just headed to work. yeah i work down the street, i manage an office for a psychic'
thats how i met my friend mate. we go hiking. anywho, do this, to anyone, anywhere, and you will get confidence to talk to girls you might actually be interested in.
and when you find one, talk to them the same way. casually. if something strikes up hand them your card (Get cards made) and say
>hey i gotta go, but we should keep this going, call me sometime, we'll get coffee'
99% of girls wont call you. 1% will, and thats always awesome
How do I go about getting help dealing with stress?
I'm convinced stress is making my acne worse, but I can't just not get stressed. I feel like I need to overcome it on a deeper level. I hope that doesn't sound ridiculous.
Do I see a doctor first? A psychologist/psychiatrist? Or just try harder with meditation?
>>16931709
if you arent doing guided meditation, you probably arent meditating very well at all, so much as sitting there and thinking about what you are stressing about.
each person is different so try different things. take a yoga class if you arent. im not gonna recommend pillates or a harder workout cuz tbqh they ultimately add more stress to my life whereas yoga was soft and just kind of relaxing.
as for acne, stressing about it will make it worse. try accutane. pic related is me. yeh? taking the pill will make you think less about acne cuz it will cure itself after a month or two, and then you are no longer stressing about your face for half the day.
combat other stresses by making lists. whens something gotta be done? make a list of all the steps, what day to do em, cross em off as you go. making a list of what to do tomorrow helps right before bed, as it confirms to your brain that you know what to do and can relax.
a beer in the shower is the best way to relax imhotbqhfampai.
psychologist and psychiatrist if a therapist recommends them, but you need someone to vent to and get advice from, not over analyzations about your mental helath
>>16931740
>psychologist and psychiatrist if a therapist recommends them
what kind of therapist? I'm not sure exactly which profession is the first port of call
>try accutane
I have, 3 times! - 6 months at age 17, 6 months at 22, and 4 months at 25. Each time it worked for 1-2 years but it keeps coming back. I'm 30 now and my acne is only mild, but it's cystic and painful. On the third course I had a bad reaction so had to stop early. I'm open to possibly trying the lower dosage version of the drug, but am also worried about whether a fourth course would do long term damage, since I'm not aware of anyone ever needing a fourth course
>>16931832
idk mate, im not a puss. just go to google and type in 'therapists in XX' wherein XX is your general location. read what you find and book an appointment.a 'genera' therapist should be fine, just someone who listens to peoples problems and helps them.
yeah 4th course sounds pretty intense. the best i can recommend (and sorry if you heard this before) is retin-A in the morning applied to the face. its literally just accutane applied to the face so it doesnt effect your liver (but it also doesnt have long term results). it sucks but you might have to apply it for the rest of your life.
after that, erythromicin gel. antibiotic, apply to face at night.
it kept my face pretty clear, one pimple here or there.
So there is a cute girl at the farmers market down the road from me who runs a stall with her family. Every week I go buy food from them and flirt a little but never asked her not because her entire family is right next to her in the tent.
So I got the idea to pass my number to her written on a piece of paper when I pay her for he usual weekly groceries.
What do you guys think?
She's the cashier? Then do it.
>>16931668
>im thinking of awkwardly just passing my number to her and expecting her to understand the context.
why tho? who cares if her family is there, if they are close enough to work together they are close enough to watch a charming young lad ask her on a date.
>>16931685
Yeah it also makes you seem sleazy and belittles her
How the hell do you deal with stressfull times when you are prone to fall into depression?
>>16931638
>depression
if real, seek therapy. if you're just sad and calling it depression, its important to develop your own comforts. the biggest comfort is knowing the endgame.
imagine if they never told you when graduation was. imagine if you just went to school and you never knew when it was going to end or when you were going to change grades, and it was all random. that sucks right?
the best way is to know what the endgame is, waht you got left to do, and then taking pride when you finish the little steps that get you closer.
It's hard, but simple, cliché things like "thinking about what matters to you" do help. I stay away from trying to think "positive" because that is just the child's escape from sadness.
As hippy as it sounds, from another who endures waves of depression, things related to zen, ying-yang, duality, etc tend to make the depression much more manageable. Understanding that good and bad are necessary, one cannot exist without the other, and that sad times just make you appreciate the good times even more.
When you're in the darkness, all you can do is wait until the world turns you back around. And remember, its only a matter of time before the light turns back to darkness.
>>16931654
Nah, i'm legitly endangered. Therapy since one year and recently off of ssri's. Now i feel like i have no security net when demanding times hit me.
I thinn your advice is great anon. Problem is that i don't even know what my endgame is, or how to find out
>In uni right now
>double major math and econ
>spend all my time studying. My health is shit and I have stomach ulcer which I need to get examined more to see if i have stomach cancer
>despite studying 24/7 69 days a year, I'm fucking shit at this kind of math which is abstract as fuck.
>failed a couple midterms and generally really shitty gpa
>im completely burnt out.
>parents would be disappointed if i dropped out
>parents don't think i would go back to uni if i took a year or half off of school which is probably the case
>I might actually get suspended anyways for a year since my gpa is shitshitshit
I like philosophy. took some courses and did pretty well but a philosophy degree is about as useful as not having one. Are there really no realistic job opportunities for a uni graduate with a philosophy degree?
>working a part-time retail job
How likely are retail jobs not dead-end? Or are most dead-end. I'm not really into material wealth. I find simple things enjoyable. I just really don't like being stressed and being anxious.
What do, /adv/?
On a side note, my girlfriend will likely break up with me if I drop out or take a break which is alright by me, I suppose.
If you study 24/7 and get no where what are you actually doing? I mean are you comprehending anything you're reading, and how are you writing down explanations for things in your notebook if you don't understand them.
Maybe you've missed some fundamentals and instead of going back to it you're just staring at the new stuff trying to make sense of it?
Do simple things like take a break and go for a walk to start freeing your mind and improving your mental health, it'll improve your intelligence too (if that isn't obvious).
>>16931631
>i study 24/7
>have a gf
pick one.
>how likely are retail jobs not dead-end
retail jobs may promote you to a store manager. which is slightly better but not by much. if being smart isnt in the stars, then pick a less intense but still useful degree.
becoming an accountant isnt abstract or hard. i do all the accounting for my office and i suck at math. sure being a REAL Accountant is more than just budgeting and whatnot, but if you go to school to become an accountant its way easier than this abstract math shit you are studying.
find a job that wont kill and work towards that. it doesnt have to be 'enginneer or philosophy major at mc donalds'
the worlds not that strictly divided.
You sound a lot like me OP, doing math/econ and having a bit of trouble but liking philosophy and knowing there's no real usefulness in that degree. What exactly would you planning to do with your math/econ degree anyway?
So, to tee it off, I almost dangerously hurt myself like an idiot after having a chat with my mom. I was talking about how YouTube's system is shit and animation is gone and blah blah. But the important part is my older sister who is twenty two years old, began to mock me like a kid would. Repeating what you said in a higher voice. Normally I wouldn't have cared at all but then my mom began to laugh. My mother's laugh is piercing. It's the got the exact amount of scoff and volume to hear it anywhere.
I'm not kidding I was at a Christmas party full of talking people and my friend and I could hear her over everyone in the building and she was on the opposite end of it.
She laughs at me all the time. She laughs when you try to be serious about something, she laughs when you are angry, she laughs when you're trying to calm down. Her laughing drove me over and I tried so damn hard to control myself. I do everyday.
I feel the best example of their immaturity is how they handle a bad situation.
My little sister is a disrespectful little shit. Smokes weed, is a slut, drinks all the time, fails school but is so goddamn entitled to her own opinion it's ridiculous. This one time I was talking about my cousin to my mother and how she needs to stop expecting him, at ten years old, to be a strong and manly man. My little sister struck a nerve and hit her very lightly in the head.
What ensued was my mom, my own fucking mother, saying "You're a fucking psychopath."
"I can see in the future you being charged for domestic abuse." "You're fucking evil."
Only the women in my family are the emotionally immature people. I am patient and sweet anywhere outside of my own home.
I'm a boxer and I know that sooner or later I'm going to do something I will seriously regret doing with my hands. I need to know how to cope with authority figures who are blind to how awful they are as people.
How do I control myself around people who know perfectly how to piss me off?
>>16931624
Following up, my elder sister asked if I was going to beat my wife and kids like that when I was older. She sarcastically that I was going to make a great news for the police. Saying that she felt bad for my future wife and kids.
I punched a fridge like a fucking idiot and now I hurt myself.
I need to know what to do in this kind of situation. Please help you guys.
Get away from them.
>>16931640
We all live together in one cramped house.
Haven't been on 4chan in years but tired of reading bullshit forums and articles. So I figured it ask the biggest bunch of bullshitters I could think of.
So I've been dating this girl now for almost two years. We live together, have a dog and share several bills and such so we are financially stuck for at least a year or two unless we just say fuck it and ruin our credit scores.
Lately though I've been obsessed with the thought of starting an affair. I don't necessarily want to break up with my current girlfriend but I need something on the side.
Continued below:
So anyway, I work for this consulting firm and have begun chatting with this really cute girl who just got hired on as an admin assistant. For the first few weeks she was somewhat stuck up and would always talk about her "fiancé" and how she was in love with him and the whole nine. Starting this last Monday she finally began really indulging me with how she does not know if she wants to go along with this whole marriage thing (they've only dated for a year and she just turned 22 on Saturday). She told me how her and this fiancé got in a huge fight and that she told him the only way she would stick around was if they could have an open relationship.
The way this open relationship works is, if she wants to fuck someone she just has to tell him. And this whole casual fucking can't get to the point where she catches feelings. From the sounds of it her fiancé was really crushed by this but is willing to stick it out because he is 100% madly in love with her. They don't live together so he never has to see the guy(s).
So anyway this last week she's been IM-ing me on business Skype and sending me emails with either really serious discussions or asking me to go and grab a drink with her and her friends. She then asked me a bunch of times when we should hang out. She is well aware that I have a girlfriend as well and we talk about how my girlfriend would rip me to pieces and can be very controlling and not open minded like her fiancé.
We have an extremely flirtatious relationship and are always complimenting each other and looking at each other and will talk all day and night if we are both in the office. She will wait for me to finish sending an email or whatever and then we will both walk out at the same time. But then she also told me she is terrible at reading signals, and I sadly am the same way. I've always dated 8+ types of girls but I was always so bad at pulling the trigger. Practically would have to have them tell me "hey wtf lets do this." Before I would even make a move. Girls always think I have the most confidence in the room due to the way I present myself but really I have very little.
So my question is do I try and set something up with this girl? And if so how do I go about doing it? What if she really just wants to be friends and has no desire to fuck? How do I tell?
BTW I really like the new captcha system. Like I said been several years since I've been on this site. Thanks for anyone who can help.
Hey /adv/ I recently cured phimosis but I'm having a new issue which is my frenulum as it is too tight. Is there any advice you guys could give me and I don't want a circumcision.

Does pic related apply to when you are soft or hard? I get that when I'm soft but not hard. I still have to manually roll the skin back though when hard and it stays right behind the head like touching the bacK of it, if I pull it back all the way and let go it goes back to the same position. Do I have phimosis?
is there any way to get the true ip of the unknown device?
this shit is bothering me, also it tries to log into my wlan network every minute
>>16931507
Because your router isn't allowing it to connect to the DHCP server on the router (due to the MAC address filter) it doesn't have an IP address.
Honestly your router is doing the right thing. More importantly, I would make sure the admin account to the router isn't the default manufacturer password and the Wi-Fi password is very, very strong - possibly changed weekly since you're getting bruteforced.
Look into DHCP, the OSI Model, etc. It'll help explain in more detail what I'm saying.
>>16931538
it was already connected to it days before when i noticed and enabled mac adress filter
ok ill change the password now
anything else? cant i do something with its mac adress?
>>16931581
you've filtered out the MAC address which is the best thing you can do atm. Do you know who/what is trying to connect?
I made a similar thread a few days ago and am seeking more advice
I was arrested for a marijuana DUI (lol, blew a 0.000). My charges are the DUI, possession, and paraphernalia. They are all my first offenses. I have hired who is supposed to be the best local lawyer for dealing with an issue like this.
My pretrial conference is at the end of this month. My lawyer expects the possession/paraphernalia to be removed, but the marijuana DUI is a bit trickier.
In planning for worst case scenario, I am assuming having to live the rest of my life with all three misdemeanors front and center on my criminal record.
I am a straight-A graduate student receiving a full tuition scholarship. This cannot be taken away from me. If I pursue a PhD at my current institution (and most others, it seems) I would only have to report felonies (of which I have none) and if there is a background check, it is only after being accepted.
So, so far it seems like for the next 1-6 years of my education, these potential convicted misdemeanors will not matter too much. What about beyond that?
>>16931490
it will slow you down but doesnt have to stop you. so stop asking

I'm thinking about seeing my college counselor to see if they can do anything to help my anxiety. I'm scared of how things will go.
What kind of questions do they ask? What is it like?
>>16931454
If they're a Freudian psychologist they'll try to ask you questions that you don't like answering and try to get you to confess to having been raped by your father.
The more defensive you are the more they will persist, so the best thing to do is right off the bat let them know that you weren't raped by your father.
Your school might be different, but I went to my school's counselor about depression. There was walk ins on Mondays and I finally went a couple weeks ago. I was generally asked why I went in, she made sure I wasn't in danger of killing myself, and then we talked about my options since this isn't really something that is solved in a few visits. I don't want to talk to my mom about it and get health insurance from her, so I'll be paying per session. I haven't started those sessions yet.
It's not bad OP, you should go, especially if it's free
>>16931479
They're not allowed to tell your parents right?
Hello, my dudes
I'm really creeped out about the relationship between my boyfriend and his mother. I get men are really devoted to their mothers and shit, but I just find some of the things he's told me rather disturbing. [I had posted here a few months ago] How he used to sleep in the same bed as her until he was about 14 and cried whenever she was late to pick him up at school until around he reached middle school.He's also really affectionate towards her.
Last night he had a dream that I turned into his mother and that freaked me the fuck out. I like her and I want to have a nice relationship with her, but it's really hard to actually see her as a person I can get along with, due to the circumstances.
Any advice?
>>16931406
your boyfriend seems pretty normal. Dreams are weird. Freud was a quack and psychology is a pseudoscience.
You're jealous of the relationship a man has with his mother? It's his mother for christ's sake.
Fuck, I would get super annoyed when my parents picked me up late from school, also. Especially in a time pre cell phones, you just sit there feeling like a fucking chump.
Sleeping in bed with your parents until you're in high school is weird, though, but he stopped that.
Dreams mean nothing, I had a dream, last week, about making out with the grown up version of a girl in my second grade class. I don't give a shit about her and haven't thought about her ever. Where did my brain get that? Who the fuck knows.
Calm down, stop being a judgmental cunt, and have a normal relationship with your boyfriend and his mother and everything will be fine.
>>16931475
He only stopped because she got married and her new husband found that really weird. After that, my boyfriend has really hated his step father. The step dad is really nice, but my bf feels like he took his mom away from him, He's 19, I think he's too old to be thinking that stuff. I don't know, man. I'm not being judgmental, I just feel like he has repressed issues.
This trap wants to meet up tomorrow, ive always sort of been interested and they are actually pretty hot, wouldnt fuck any trap im not desperate by any means, but this one is passable and actually hot. Anyone have advice or experience. Much appreciated.
why so mad?
>>16931370
If by trap, you mean its a trans girl, just treat her like any other girl and she'll love it.
If you mean a twink or really feminine guy, I can't help.

uh, hire a guy to follow your wife silly. I did and got the evidence I needed the first day. The only reason you wouldn't want to know for sure is you don't want to know and have no intention on leaving
>>16931385
Hire a detective to confirm what you already know. Also call a lawyer to see how fucked you are, and to tell you what to do or not do so you can be less fucked.
Sorry man, that really sucks.
>>16931409
Yea, that was one of my thoughts. Thanks for your time anon
