Ways to stop looking at porn?
>>16904180
close your eyes
1. Stop going to the 4chan boards that have lots of porn.
2. Stop looking at pictures of girls online, even if its not porn. It's a slippery slope that leads to you eventually looking at porn
3. Whenever you feel like looking at porn just go rub one out.
I've suddenly taken a dislike to a lot of my friends. Is this a normal thing in your early twenties? I'll have fun with them for a while, but then a thought will just hit me of "I don't even like most of these people, they're really mean, etc." It's happening to one of my friend's especially, I can't even stand being around him.
Advice on how to deal with these thoughts, cut friends out of your life gracefully, finding new friends, etc.
Maybe I'm just changing.
>>16904167
You don't so much "cut them out" as much as you just get new friends. Simply stop going to activities with them. Stop talking to them. Focus your time and energy into meeting new people. Be your own person. The sooner you become comfortable by yourself, the less you'll care if you're losing anything by growing out of your old friends.

We all go through that constantly to be honest. Life changes, your priorities change, the circumstances you deal with most change. People come and people go, it's natural. If you came to the point that you really don't see any other options than to cut the ties, do it, but do it with dignity. Straight up telling them all the stuff will only get things worse. Parting ways with people is the most hard thing to do because none of us handle rejection well. I agree with >>16904172...

I went through a similar thing when I was 18/19. I kinda just got sick of hanging around with them and realised that they're actually douchebags that never made the effort to keep in contact when we finished high school.
I've ended up just cutting them out of my life pretty much. It was quite hard at first but I've pretty much gotten over it and have made new friends at uni that are actually decent people.

Hey so I think depression is creeping up on me again. I just don't feel as happy anymore and I'm really quick to anger.
I really don't want to be medicated again so what are some things I can do to naturally be happy?
>>16904141
Masturbate
Think of things that you appreciate, every day
Don't isolate yourself; talk to people, your loved ones if you have those, new people for a change
Write little to-do-lists of even mundane tasks and try to complete them by a given time
Medication can actually be really helpful. It's kind of a pain but it's better than being depressed.
You can always go to therapy and see if that alone will make a difference, but it doesn't always.

If you're quick to anger, it means you aren't depressed.
Depression is the crushing of all emotions.
You feel like a shell.
Anger is a real thing.
If you can feel real volatile anger, then you aren't depressed.
Sad maybe.
Disappointed, maybe.
But not depressed
Depression is when you wake up and see life as a rerun of an old Adam Sandler movie.
Have you ever felt such indifference?
That's depression..
I've decided I'm going to tell my crush how I feel about her. I want to stress I am NOT asking her out. Not yet at least. However, it may be hard to find a good time since we're both kind of busy and don't always have a lot of time to talk. My mother has suggested simply texting her to tell her how I feel, but I really hate that idea. I'm worried I'll come off as cowardly if I tell her over text, and thus I'd much rather tell her in person. What do you think, /adv/?
>>16904136
do it in person.
oh and find the right time to ask them out. i didn't.
-_- i regret not waiting
>>16904136
Tell us the results later today, OP. I am intrigued to know.
>>16904217
OP here. Sadly I won't have a good time to talk to her until at least tomorrow. But I'll try and post on /adv/ what happens when it does. It might be tomorrow, it might be next week, I don't know when I'll have a good opportunity, but I'll let you guys know what happens when it does.
How is working for Wall Street? Is it true that working for it is pure hell? Second year in mechanical engineering, and I'm motivated a lot by money. I'm thinking of trying for a big corporation like Boeing, or Lockheed Martin. Does anyone know a good route for a MechE?
>>16904131
>Boeing
I work for Boeing, though in a marketing capacity. I can tell you that the company is fantastic. Corporate structure is very strong, rewards justly and managers are collaborative with employees. I work at the Seattle/Everett division. You won't find a better state to live in than WA.
>>16904140
Noice, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to work in the aerospace industry at Boeing. But, I live one the east coast and there aren't any Boeings over here.
I'm thinking of taking LSD tomorrow. I've taken 50 mics and had very little response(Or it wasnt LSD which is unlikely due to good supplier).
I'm thinking of taking 200 mics tomorrow but not sure if it's a good idea or not.
Pic Unrelated
sure, seems fine. Just make sure you have a sitter to watch you.
..and if it tastes of anything spit it. 25I-NBOMe is horrible stuff.
Go with 150. You will notice it for sure if it really is 150ug. I personally think that 200ug on someone who hasnt experienced much of a trip can turn into a way worse experience. Play it safe, no hurries.
I want to make my ex cry. You see, we were together for a couple of years, then apart from one another due to visas... and she secretly got married, all the while telling me she still loved me. It's been a couple of months since I found out and now I'm finally feeling angrier than I do sad. I want to send her a message that makes her really bawl when she wakes up and reads it, so her brand new husband asks her why and she has to admit what happened.
All I've got is this, but it seems a bit emo:
>I want you to know how you made...

It seems like she was using you to get a visa and found that she didn't like you enough to go through with it? Did she marry someone from your country? If this is the case the liklihood of her caring about your feelings is low, tell her you had a "sleeping" or host STI that you didn't tell her about when you were dating, she'll freak out and get tested, something her new husband will probably find out about.
>>16904097
Sending her anything will only show her that she still can get a hold on you. Learned from experience, don't do shit. Bitch's not worth the time.
It's a bad idea and it loses you the high ground. What will give her a deeper, achieve sadness is if you never talk to her again. In a few months, maybe years, she'll remember you and try to rekindle something casually. Give her nothing. Act as though you two never happened, like she never existed. If you let her know she got to you like your faggy message she won't give a rats ass. Give her nothing.
Alright, help me out bros.
Ever since I've gotten slightly bigger (still just dyel) some girls (not very good looking) start to seem interested in me & i feel like I can eat the world.
And there is this one girl, 3-4 years older than me who is in my class & usually hangs out with the other girls who I really wanna tenderly kiss & turn into my gf.
I'm friends with most of her girl friends but I don't know how to transition from "hey did you do that form last week?" to "hey i think you're good looking, wanna hang...

try to ask your target separately from her circle of friends
people are assholes in crowds
so even if she turns you down, it won't be as embarrassing and soul crushing
