Does anybody here have such a wide and seemingly unending spectrum of interests that focusing solely on one for the rest of your life in hopes of becoming the best at it seems like not only an impossibility, but something seriously unfortunate, since there would be so much of the world around you that you still wouldn't know shit about anyway?

I want to make groundbreaking animated films

I have similar dread.
I want to paint, learn five languages, travel to just about every country, learn three instruments, read thousands of books, etc.
Knowing I'll never have enough time scares me. I fantasize about stopping time to experience everything I want to.

Have you ever seen the movie "It's Such a Beautiful Day"? At the very end, the protagonist is about to die, and the narrator pulls a deus ex machina by just completely flipping the story so that he lives forever, reads every book, masters every language, meets alien species, and lives on beyond the heat death of the universe. At first I thought he just got lazy with bullshit writing but then I noticed how sad it got me and I realized that the writer did it to fuck with the audience. He knows that every...

You should watch "The Man From Earth". It's got a similar theme.

Bump. I'm dying out here... Sweating bullets

My best friend is cheating on her boyfriend with two guys. Should I tell him?
Depends on how "best" and "friend" your best friend is.
I would personally avoid, but that's because I'm lazy and I hate drama
>mfw if this was a pair of male best friends they wouldn't even think about snitching on each other
women have no sense of loyalty whatsoever lol.
she's your best friend isn't she? stay out of her personal business and keep that shit to yourself like she had entrusted you to. if you strongly disagree with her actions and lifestyle, then you break that friendship off.
but never snitch. there's nothing to gain out of that and makes you seem just as unreliable as a person.
>>16826520
try to get your friend to stop first. Give her the chance to take care of it because thats what friends are for.
But friends are also there to make sure that you dont fuck up and if you see her doing it its your responsibility to fix it if shes unwilling. Id tell them anonymously. Spread a rumor around.
Is committing suicide selfish?
A bit. Yes, because there are probably people who would miss you and love you, and no because there's a reason why you're doing it.
>>16826007
You are going to kill yourself, why the fuck would you care, you are doing this for yourself, its a really selfish thing. I wouldn't do it though. I've been depressed for the past 6 years and I still am finding ways to live and try to be happier than yesterday
people who have never had suicidal thought will say yes, people who have will say no. i say no, if they cared about you so much, you wouldn't feel this way, suicidal thoughts are always the last thing somebody goes to when they just cant cope anymore. no, it is not selfish. its selfish for people to keep you alive while you are suffering
How do I deal with ridiculous mantits in the UK?
Chances of me affording private surgery in the near future are slim. How do I convince the NHS to handle it for free?
Get in shape you fat fuck.
Figure out where all your testosterone went.
Looks like gyno. Had it when I was around 15-16. Went away after I ended puberty.
Assuming you're not an underaged b&, only way to get rid of it is surgery. Literally no other exercises or anything exist.
I like him. I thought he likes me too. We hangout together today. Me and him and two other couples. We were like 3 couples hangout together. As i was sitting beside him,when he was checking his phone to call the other girl in our group of friends to know if everything okay with her,i saw on his list there were a contact saved as "baby". He definitely rang her and she rang him back. We actually ring each other sometimes but not that frequently to be almost on the top of the outgoing call and incoming call. I felt miserable. I tried to act like nothing's wrong and...

Going crazy over a guy you're not in a relationship with, not worth it.
if this was me giving advice to a guy itd be "plenty of fish in the sea" "find a new girl" "try again" etc
You'd be like the guy who is too beta to see they aren't interested or you are too beta to ask and see.
>>16825866
But the point is he making me believe that there was something between us. If he had a gf already he shouldn't flirt with me like that.

Hey /adv/, I decided to try online dating about a month ago and I posted here for advice about my profile. Since then, I started trying a lot harder and now I wanna know what you think again.
I have 7 pics now, 2 of which are selfies at home and the rest are either outdoors or out with friends.
Any advice or criticism?
1/4
Can you at least take a pic of yourself outdoors and with a different style of hair instead of lego combover. Act a bit dynamic in your pictures like you're actually taking a pic of yourself while out there and doing something.

>>16825841
I did that, I just thought I should use a normal bathroom selfie for my main picture like everyone else on the site

>>16825841
This. Your combover is unattractive. You could be way more attractive if you had any idea what to do with your hair.
I think a girl I was seeing is seeing someone else, its okay to ask her if she is seing someone?
>>16825829
Are you still seeing her? If so, a conversation about whether you are exclusive or not is reasonable.
If not, it is not really your business. You can ask, but she doesn't have to answer.
>>16825832
I'm not sure, she has been putting a lot of excuses lately, and I'm 99% sure she is with someone else
so yes or not?
Hi /adv/
So I have this skin disorder called becker's nevus.It started developing on my chest at around 13 years old. I had no idea what it was at the time and I was afraid of getting made fun of so I never took off my shirt or went to pool parties or anything like that. Ever since, I have never taken my shirt off in front of anyone. Now I'm 22 years old. I'm afraid of talking to girls because I feel like they will automatically think I'm unattractive because of it. I avoid sexual confrontations entirely because of that awkward moment that might happen...

It looks fine...what exactly are you insecure about? The uneven distribution of the hair? I seriously don't see anything wrong.
>>16825782
>Unfortunately, there is no good cure for getting rid of this abnormality.
Laser hair removal doesn't work..?
nah. no one cares about that stuff, dicks are gross enough.
Don't feel too good about yourself though, you've probably got some other psychological disorder. ask your therapist about body dysmorphia.
