Sounds like apathy and lethargy
>dont want to be around people, feel mentally drained
Try resting your mind. Like take 10 minutes and forget about everything, your problems, your life, and just be there, even put on some nice ambient in the back.
We get worn out from everyday life, especially if its very banal and especially due to its cyclical nature. Break from the cycle and take a moment to relax and step back and just chill. Let the mind chill.

I try that, but i revert to the way i was once i stop. besides, im already sitting alone in my apartment doing fuckall
Start taking drugs, either illicit ones or prescription ones.
I don't know what I am supposed to do. I recently got out of a 5 year relationship and it was her that did the deed. It was completely out of no where. The thing is that I don't really feel anything about it. I just feel like something is missing. I don't feel sad. I am not mad. I just have this empty feeling inside. I have been taking citalopram for about 4 months now and I know it dulls all of my emotions. How do I fix this empty feeling? Should I get a new girlfriend? Should I just wait and stay single for a while? I don't know what I want.
>>16907247
Try stopping the drugs to let yourself feel the emotions?
Achieve some sort of spiritual catharsis somehow
Emptiness is not bad, it is the nature of things.
> I don't know what I want
So do nothing. Acting without nothing your clear intention can lead you to dangerous paths.

That isn't an option. I tried slowly coming off and it threw me into a deep depression with anxiety which is the reason I started taking anti depressants a long time ago.
>>16907278
Dont want to go against your doctor's orders.
But yeah, why are you wondering why you feel empty when you have no emotions?
alright so I'm bi-polar and recently was put on abilify. i have been taking for roughly three weeks and the restlessness is driving me up a wall I have been taking benadryl in the hope to alleviate some of the symptoms but no luck. does anyone have any experience with abilify or any advice on how to help some of the side affects?
>>16907239
Has it occurred to you to talk with your fucking pharmacist or doctor about the side effects rather than asking anonymous strangers of unverifiable expertise on the internet?
hey /adv/
i'm fucking fat and i want to lose all my weight until june or july.
i'm 180cm and 100kg to be exact and i want to get down to around 70kg. ideally 60 - 65. i'm 18yo.

eat less, work out more
go to /fit/ and read the sticky
>>16907232
First, change your goal from a weight goal to a body fat percentage goal. Cardio at least three times per week with goal of burning roughly 700 kcal per session (more if you can manage it). Build more muscle with load bearing exercise to increase your basal metabolic rate. I would suggest complex, functional, high-weight movements like deadlifts, high pulls, and snatches. Engage in some kind of intense interval training at least twice weekly. Figure out your daily caloric needs and aim to have around a 10-20% deficit...

do I have autismo ?
it seems I can only ever function normally when I have 0 hobbies going on, otherwise when something peaked my interest I go overboard with it. Like I can't do anything "casually"
For instance:
>be in high school loving maths
>end up going to bed at 2 AM to make sure I can do all the book's exercise and understand accurately everything
...
>be at work
>discovering new programming language / technique...

We called that immersion with passion.
apply this dedication to you desired path, you will do well
And drop that whole normie label shit, it limits you in a box. It's fine to use on 4chan but never to your actual life.

I'm the same, I got really wrapped in some things while other that are beneficial to me don't interest me enough to care about them.
I have a hard decision to make. I am currently a drummer in a punk band that I am semi-happy with. Thing is, I want to do my own stuff and start my own band/project after my surgery, which I will be the lead singer of.
So the question is. Do I help contribute to the band with my own ideas (lyrics for the most part) or do I do nothing and let the singer/bassist think of this shit? I am contributing to this band by stealing song structures and ideas from other bands.
I just wrote some lyrics down and I thought they where good (which never happens). I don't think the...

I usually like to clean the hell out of my car, go for a bike ride, or just get outside. Staying in the house for three days might seem attractive right now but just getting outside will help.

Do something that will level up your skill
Do something that will elevate your intellect and soul
Do something that is mindless fun just for the fuck of it
Boost yourself, then get ready for the next day refreshed and ready for whatever

Thank you guys. I've taken apart my bicycle and gave it a new paintjob, new stickers, and I'm going to rebuild it. The sanding and painting has been pretty therapeutic.
About 1.5 years ago I was approached by a small agency (2 people) that asked if I wanted to work for them part time, because I reported a bug in their product. I was open to that, because I was a student and needed the money and experience, and we had some email and Skype exchange, but they suddenly cut off contact with me for no reason. No response to follow-up emails and messages.
About a year ago I applied for a position as a student assistant at some local company that I knew from some tech meetups and through colleagues. I was declined, I moved on and later found...

Just let it go man, it's not worth it.
I completely ignore them and what they did.
Not IT specific at all op. But it seems like they're not entirely serious. But that depends on how senior you are really.
Hi 4Chan.. I'm a user from /b/ but they didn't have anything to say.. So I seek this board for help here's the story.
I woke up this morning at 7:50 to hear my mom scream and brother crying. My dad has been abusing her again after stopping for 3 years.. I panicked and got a bat in my room and I hit him in the side (not hard enough to do serious damage but enough to keep em down for a few minutes) I don't know if what I did was irrational.. God I just keep thinking of it.. So /adv/ what was I did wrong or right? It's now 9AM he got up 2 hours ago..
I don't think what you did was wrong. The bastard was abusing your mother and brother. I mean I think that I'd do the same thing if I was in your situation.
Should have broken some ribs.
No I don't really know anything about this situation. I'm just feeling mad at abuse. Tough shit.

You feel guilty just because it was your father, you did what any rational person would do
I'm writing a 3000 word report on how companies make money from a given piece of technology, using an example. I've chosen to do Video Game Consoles, comparing the Playstation and the Nintendo 64. My basic hypothesis is that the N64 was a superior console on paper but it lost out since the Playstation had a better library in the long term.
My issue is I'm not sure where to find articles and papers on the subject. Can anyone recommend some reasonably scholarly books or articles on the subject (on the two consoles, or the console market in general) to get me started?
>>16907073
>GO TO WIKIPEDIA
NO CAPS
>N64 was a superior console on paper
hardly, considering playstation's disks has vastly superior storage capacity to the N64's cartridges which led to many third party developers abandoning the system, like squaresoft for instance. That's how the PS1 got the better library, because it was a better console. Did you know that ff7 was originally being developed for the n64 but the project was abandoned when they realized they wouldn't be able to have a game that large on a cartridge. Then that ended up becoming THE ps1 game.

I can't give you sources because your thesis is objectively wrong.
There is a place I know has no cameras or security system. I know the safe combo, and if they have changed it, the safe is small enough to just take. Wouldn't be more than 5k In there. I live pretty far away from this place. I could really use the money, and the owners are fucking loaded, so one set of deposits is nothing to them. Should I do? Or not do?
>>16907049
If you have to ask, especially if you have to ask 4chan of all places then no, it isn't worth it for you.
If you were the right kind of man for the job you'd allready have the cash in your pocket. You haven't though, because you actually care about this, which means it's going to be much to hard for you.
Imagine you have the safe right now, on your table at home. You've got it open, you go to lift out the cash - and your doorbell rings. What happens? If your answer is anything other than "cold chills up my spine and a feeling of overwhelming terror" your just lying to yourself. Over time that feeling will subside a bit, but it'll never go away. Every time someone comes to the door, when your phone rings from an unknown number, when there's a cop behind you on the road, there's all kinds of things are going to trigger that response.
Honestly, it's going to be more stressful than betting your grandmothers life on a horse race. If you were talking about a life changing sum of money that you could secure in a way that you could still access it when you got out of prison it might be worth it but for $5k it just isn't worth the hassle.
>>16907049
Don't do it.
The benefit and the risk isn't worth the payoff.
Especially since you're hesitant to begin with, you'll probably have underlying guilt.
Do you absolutely need the money for something, or are you just like "hey maybe I could get some extra cash??"
i'm guessing the reason you now the code is because you know the person.
unless you're an ultra autist who saw the exact code entered in the safe without them ever seeing your face, you'll be a prime suspect.
honestly you'd be much more successful at randomly mugging people.
As a guy are you able to have several levels of satisfactory orgasms?
When having sex, or fapping I can have meh orgasms. Where I think by myself: 'it probably wouldn't have mattered if I came or didnt come anyway'.
But every once in a while, depending on how I feel mentally, I can reach real hard orgasms which zing for a longer time. One last week was so good, that I actually punched the shower wall really hard afterwards, almost breaking my knuckle.
>>16907045
You have to stop masturbating to get those amazing ones. Or ejaculate into a vagina. Nothing feels as good as being balls deep and ejaculating.
>>16907045
99% of it for me is the buildup. If I just toss one off quick, it's lame.
If I edge for a while to some good prons, or if I go nice and slow with her (eat her out, rub her ass, pump her gently for a good long time) that's when you achieve

>>16907050
I almost fap daily. I've also gone without fapping for more than two weeks, because I wasn't in the mood and still ended up with a meh orgasm.
For me it doesn't seem to matter either, wether im in balls deep or not.
I just heard from my sister that one of our close friends' dad passed away, funeral will be held tomorrow.
This is seriously heavy for me and I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for him.
I'm not really big on showing emotional support to others. At those times I'm not sure what to say and how to act (even if I really want to show support), and this is a very delicate matter to top it off.
I think I should give him space, but I also want him to feel secure that we(his friends) are all there for him anytime he may need us.

literally tell him that, hug him

>>16907042
Maybe that's just it. I just worry because I tend to look numb in this kind of situation and I don't want to give him the impression that I don't care, or make him feel like he's not being supported enough.
Also, I was just thinking:
Does going about my day like nothing happened make me heartless? I'm not even sure I can do it because I keep going back to thinking about him. This may seem silly, and were I not experiencing this right now, I'd say that dwelling on it is simply...

I was walking home tonight, then I felt sleepy and shut my eyes. I began to think I was at the beach and I completely forgot where I was. I opened my eyes again sleepily, realized where I was, heard children that weren't there laughing at me, realized my Ipod was off and the music was in my imagination, and then I couldn't control my movements. I just kept walking on and on. I couldn't talk or look around or scream. I couldn't figure out where I was either, I kept making wild guesses. I was terrified that someone would find me like this and think I'm...

How do I get people to watch a specific video? Need this video to get a shit ton of views for finals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IkLdfK5dFc&feature=youtu.be
>>16907009
1: Post an annotation at the end of the video that loads that video again. Gets a second view.
2: Make a playlist, start up every computer you own and set the playlist to play. Basically repeating the video.
IF you know how to code, write one to press 'F5' every 5 seconds or so.
Else, try setting in the options for the playlist (mentioned above) to play the video from 0:00 to 0:02.
