Hey guys I'm seaking some friendly advice
>be 21
>applied to samsung for part time sales rep
>friend recommended me to manager
I applied right when it opened and made a solid cover letter and emailed the regional manager after a week. Didn't even get a fucking email back or any sort of reply and it just filled. Did I come off to strong on the Samsung experience or is my resume complete shit?
Tl:dr why didn't I get hired or even interviewed
There's waaaaaay too much whitespace in there. It feels like you're trying to pad it out. Don't double space *everything*, just leave a line break between separate sections.
>>16800869
Noted thanks. But I feel that doesn't have to do with the reasoning... just feel like complete shit I didn't even get a call or an email
>>16800869
Other than that, the style of it just feels very bland. Honestly I'm not really a fan of the sans serif (especially when bold) or the grey highlights.
You might consider using multiple columns. For your work history, one line could have the company name on the left and the city on the right, and the next line could have your title on the left and the dates on the right. Makes better use of your page space whilst not cramming it in too tight
How do I stop using alcohol as my main/only source of relaxation and recreation?
Also, is there a way to stop being excessively talkative? I literally never shut the fuck up.
>>16800816
stop purchasing alcohol?
learn to listen. i have a friend that never shuts the fuck up. i can't get a word in, always interrupts. he catches himself interrupting me and apologizes and says "i really need to work on that, sorry man." it's fucking annoying. if you just want to jerk off to your own voice then make a vlog or something.
>>16800821
I do listen, or at least I think I do, but nobody else ever seems to have anything to say. I don't interrupt. I don't know if I'm talking over anyone if nobody else is talking.
>>16800816
That bird is cute as hell.
Maybe try and ask direct questions? "How do you feel about that". Then listen.
Maybe people like to listen to you? I'm a listener and I love it when the other is more talkative.
My moobs won't go away. I've lost weight everywhere but my moobs are still hanging around. Wat do.

Quit fapping and build up testosterone, buy your food from a farmers market instead of a supermarket to defend from xenestrogens. See a doctor and tell him you have gyno.
>>16800814
I fap 2-3 times a dayxl, is that too much?
My ex-girlfriend raped, emotionally abused and traumatized me. I only have her parent's address, her email and her father's business's number. It's been awhile since we've broken up and I'd like to exact some measure of revenge, but don't know how at this point.
Does anyone have advice on how to go about it?
Oh look another petty revenge thread. Fucking pathetic.
You let a girl take advantage of you physically, emotionally, and mentally... Yeah makes sense a weak faggot like yourself would think revenge is the answer.
>>16800684
I'll tell you this: nothing you could do to her will undo anything she did to you and it won't make you feel better. Worst case scenario it will be used against you.
Get therapy and be happy she's out of your life now.
>>16800709
Wow anon you're so cool.
I live in a 6 people commune, when we first formed it went fine and we communicated well. Now it's been about a year, our trash cleaning man moved out, and our job guy (the one that pays the rent) is threatening to kick out two other guys for drinking too much. I fear that I'll be kicked out soon since we don't have enough money for five people worth of food. (we can only afford to feed two people now, I cook BTW) Do you think it's time to end the it? If not, can you think of any ways of preventing it from ending? I literally can't afford any other place to live and if it ends I'll probably be homeless for a while.
Good for that "job guy" for stopping to pay for 5 squatters.
I recommend getting a job.
>>16800600
How are we squatters? Some of us still have incomes, he's just the most well paid.
Hey guys,
I've been dating my girlfriend for a long time and we love each other blah blah blah. Anyways, she's a very sociable person. The problem with this, is it attracts some really creepy dudes.
I had to tell some kid off the other day because he got it in his head that he could feel her leg. And I felt bad because this kid had some issue, probably never seen a vagina in person before. He assumed that a girl being friendly with him meant she liked him. Then he crossed the line and she got uncomfortable.
This has happened with several really desperate guys before. I usually just laugh it off and move on... until they cross the line. The above kid was the only one so far that went too far. Others have asked her out knowing we were dating and I thought it was kind of funny they thought they had a shot.
Well, there's a new one. And this one is a bit different. He's desperate for sure, but he isn't butt ugly and repulsive like the others. He's nowhere near as good looking as me of course, but I honestly think that's why he's trying so hard. He asked her out knowing we're dating to which she declined. I'm used to it now so it doesn't phase me. But every time he sees he grins like he's stealing my girl or something.
I have to be honest, it bothers me. I want to go up to this fat dude and ask why he even thinks he has a shot. But that just means I'm letting him win, get under my skin. And I know a big part of him doing this is because I am better than him, he just wants something... anything to hold over me. Should I ignore it? Or should I embarrass him bad? I can easily shatter his ego in a heartbeat in front of everyone. Or should I just say fuck it and leave the guy to be creepy?
>>16800491
Embarrass him bad!
>>16800491
Ignore it unless he crosses the line with her, or blatantly challenges/disrespects you. Then, take the chance to show him his place. By the sound of it, he probably will give you a reason pretty soon. Until then, act like that passive-aggressive bitch shit doesn't even bother you.

How do you make friends? I ma a 31 year old pathetic scumbag that hasn't had any real friends since high school. I am too introverted to hang out with family memebers of the same age or really associate with co-workers on a non-professional level. I have tried to attended various social events in the past but all have ended has ended in failure because I was too scared and nervous to bother talking to anyone. The closest thing I have to friends are the anonymous posters on /a/, /co/, /v/ etc.
I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life but I don't know how to break out. What do?
just get a gf
if you really enjoyed being around people platonically you would have friends already
>>16800978
Thanks jerk. OP should go down to the girlfriend store and just pick one up and take it home. Surely that will work.
the only thing wrong with you is your self esteem
So i have a group of friends. There was 3 guys in my group that i specially close than others. This happened again and again I don't even know why. I'll named them guy1 guy2 and guy3.
So guy1 was my crush. I liked him for a while. I think that guy2 likes me but I'm not sure. Guy3 had a gf already.
>Today we hangout for coffee and dinner all day long. We rarely meet each other.
>At coffee shop they talked about who is my crush,again. I was there with another girl in group.
>Again,they mentioned about this topic and discuss about it on Fb chat in a way that really annoyed me. Like they making fun on me.
>Guy2 said something like he likes me for a while why did i do that to him (about me being pregnant) in a jokingly way. They made fun on me this afternoon saying i was pregnant just because I'm getting fatter and my belly is getting bigger.
>Guy3 said was guy1 my crush because his name have a "n". We went to guy1 house days before and played truth or dare. I revealed my crush name have a "n".
>Guy1 says something like he doesn't like me,don't say stupid thing like this.
>Then they are laughing at me. That i get mad and yelled at them and texting three of them to stop doing this stupid joke.
>Now that more than 10 people in this group including some I rarely meet knows all of this story. I'm so embarrassed like they thought who am i to like guy1 and expected guy1 to love me back.
What to do now? Should i cut contact with them for a while? What to do to teach them a lesson?
No help?
>>16800423
I don't even know what the hell is going on in your story.
Are you currently preggers? Who was dad? How old are you?
You should cut contact with them. You should also learn the lesson that your feelings are for you and you alone. You were given a brain to share with other people and a heart to keep to yourself. Don't even go confessing your feelings to the people you fancy. Just use your brain to act on those feelings. The emotions stay with you and you alone. No blabbing to friends or family or even bartenders.
I want to get a tattoo. I'm a 21 year old male. Should I get a tattoo of something that I think looks cool, like an astronaut or something, or should I get something that has meaning to me like song lyrics or something that alludes to how much I hate myself?
>>16800240
No you fucking retard, you're going to regret it unless you're certain about wanting a design. If you're getting a tattoo just for the heck of it you're an idiot.
>>16800256
I wanted a tattoo of a laughing skull with a cigar in its mouth for about six months, but then I kind of got tired of it. What are some good ideas to help come up with a design I would want?
>>16800263
confirmed troll
Say a guy on facebook writes "if only women were as reliable as dogs", would you get offended by that?
being a guy, no
is this advice
...yes.
Women exist as people, not in order to be reliable and to better serve you, lol.
Yeah
because women are more reliable than men (from experience with gf's, coworkers, all the single mums out there, that one thing that happen in congress when there was a huge storm and only the women came through, the female judges that all voted for gay rights that caused the gay marriage rights thing to pass, girls who have given me rides to places, etc)
but it's facebook and everyone is a retard so just let it go
I can't even put my finger on why I don't want to be with this girl anymore, but I don't. I still have to see her every day though, so help me out. Everyone thinks we're great for each other, but I'm just not feeling it. I just don't want it to be like
>I'm breaking up with you
>"why?"
>idk
And then everyone hates me.
We're just different people. We want different things in life. Different goals. Etc
>>16800204
Why do you allow others to interfere with your relationships? Why do you give a shit just get it over with
>>16800204
>I spend 3 years on a relationship just because I didn't know how to break up. Almost committed suicide because of this. Don't waste your time with a relationship that will not be good for you, mate.
Break up and say something like - "I'm not ok and i don't know how to describe it, it's not like i'm thinking about anyone else, we should break up, if you love me, you will understand it"..
Something like that....
I'm sorry for making my own thread:
I'm 29 and a complete and utter fuckup who has no real talents and not a single friend. 6 months ago my long-distance partner left me and since then I haven't really experienced human interaction in real life outside of my mother.
I feel I've been fighting against a tide and I feel like I've improved but that the change is going at a snails pace. Through the last 6 months I've lost 30 lbs, I moved out of my mother's decrepit hoarder's garbagedump, and now I have a job stocking groceries.
When I look back at everything I lost I really feel like I can never get it back. I can barely socialize without being creepy. People my age are funny and witty and I just haven't developed those skills at all. How do I practice them? Is there a book out there for societal fuckups like me that I can read?
My job leads nowhere, it just very barely keeps a roof over my head. I see no end to my loneliness, when before my long-distance relationship promised me a place to call home someday soon, now I don't have anyplace I feel I belong. No kindred friend out there that I can be near. It's like I'll be 30 and starting fresh from nothing. My mind instantly goes to yearning to somehow fix my relationship, which is impossible now and just constantly reminds me of how void of purpose my life was that my relationship was my only purpose for getting up.
Not sure if I deserve my own thread. I just need some advice. I just want to heal and stop feeling self-pity. I want to get better, have a good job, some friends, but how do I avoid this crippling realization that maybe I'm too late?
tl;dr: how do I make friends and slip into a decent career so I can pretend I'm the functional adult I should be?
>>16800073
Idgaf, but wow that horse is spectacular
>>16800103
really ? That's an Akhal Teke and i think they look quite weird, especially this one
Dude most people are straight up garbage. They put on a mask everyday and smile, whether they are happy or not is another matter, but you can be the same thing and look "normal."
Start slow, look at people in the eyes, look at what they do when they're talking to people to see how they interact. Literal babies can do this. You might think you are a piece of shit, but most people are, so really you're not. You're a normal person and you deserve normal person things.
So 99% sure my gf is cheating on me can anyone translate her diary so I know a little more about what's she's thinking because I'm a creep like that
>>16799993
It's not good, pal...also, apparently you have a small dick. I'd quit it.
>>16799993
It says "kawaaaiaaa desu-cahn misubishi honda toyota streeet fita 4. also rice and sake make for gud yum yums... Chad also taught me to like white dicks. It was so fast, he just came up to me as said "herrow" and next thing we knew, I was showing him another definition of "chopsticks"." No need to thank me OP, just doin' my duty.
Also, sorry, seems like she's fucking chad.

I fall in love too easily and worry too much.
>I want to get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.
Me too, man. I hate myself and I think too much about everything and I think about suicide so often I'm not sure anymore whether it's just habit or they're genuine thoughts.
But yeah. Life is shitty and I'm not sure I've ever been in love.
Is there some specific thing you want advice on, or are you looking for 2/3 replies encouraging you to get help and 1/3 telling you to do it?
>>16801090
Do what? I'm not wanting to off myself, I just need help getting off the rollercoaster.
i.e., How do I stop falling in love so easily and worrying so much?
I have wax blocking my ear canal and its annoying as hell. I tried ear cleaner and hydrogen peroxide several times to clean it out and nothing is helping. I know you aren't supposed to use a qtip but I've managed to get some wax with it. However it hasn't unblocked my ear and I'm afraid to puncture my eardrum if I continue.
What should I do?
>>16799570
Keep flooding it with warm water, as hot as you can stand having in your ear. It will soften it and the q tip will gradually remove it layer by layer.
At this point you should visit an ENT doctor to have it examined and cleaned. From that point forward, make sure you generously flush your ear canal with warm shower water to promote the natural outward flow of wax. You should only be using a swab to collect the wax which has worked its way to the outer ear.
An ear-nose-throat doctor can easily clear it up if you wanna drop some cash on fixing up your ears.
Otherwise just do >>16799577
