I always talk to a whole bunch of people, i'm Pretty autistic (trying to get less in public), but still i feel like none of them actually like me, everyone hangs out with their friends and stuff and i got no one to hang out with, and none of my "friends" call me, i have to call them, that loneliness feeling has made me cry a lot, it feels very strong in me. How do i change it? i want people to invite me to some stuff and not to have to go after them and start the convo EVERY time.

So I'm filling out an application and it's asking my previous work experience.
I previously worked at some retail places. but it's given my two text fields labeled:
>Responsibilities
>>Providing excellent customer service, maintaining clean area, presenting stores new promotions to our customers.
>Skills
I just copy&pasted from my resume for responsibilities but what the fuck do I put for skills?
Besides cooperation and communication what else do I put?
What's the job you're applying for?

Put that you have really great critical thinking skills. Find other ways to make it sound like you're really good at finding solutions to difficult problems. Play it up a little.
You are exceptional, you just need to tell them that.
How do I cope with the fact that my boyfriend of three years had a crush on one of my best and only friends.
And I don't mean, before we got together. I mean he probably still does.
I think u need too calm down
Honestly you're worrying way too much about this.

How can I get a job? I just dont get it. I send in application after application and i get no answers at all.
Im a former neet now completing high school aged 23 with basically no job experience.
Wanted a summerjob to get experience but NOONE fucking wants me. I've got 1 more year of school, but i cant imagine myself getting a job then either.
I have no friends so it's not like i have any job connections.
Im losing my mind. People judge me like im fucking scum when they dont give me a fucking chance.

Hello
Long post but no shorter way to make the situation clear.
I am currently reading for a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering with honours, and have just finished my first year, with three years to go. Engineering has been my passion my whole life and I have always been inclined towards figuring out how things work and how they can be improved and manufactured.
The catch is, engineering doesn't pay for shit where I'm from and my second interest is dentistry, which happens to pay much more than engineering since a dentist can practice independently....

Don't look for the best value/effort, but for the absolute most valuable choice. If dentistry definitely gets you paid more and perhaps gets you a greater chance at getting a job (because of your father for instance), then choose dentistry. Setting yourself back 3 years might feel devastating though, but you'll just have to pull through like a fucking trooper. You can always find a good hobby if engineering is your passion.
This is of course, if you know dentistry will be the better option in the long run.
>>17327711
I disagree with this, wealth is important but you shouldn't pursue a career you have no passion for just because it pays well. Though the pay:hours worked ratio for dentists is truly insane. It takes a lot of school though.
I'm a musician, and I'm gonna say follow your passion. If your passion is arguing with a moron CEO about engineering budgets, then go with engineering. If your passion is having a safe career with good income, then go with dentistry.
Back story: I was in a serious relationship with my ex for a year and a half before I had to go abroad for studies. We've met each other's parents and it was a really committed relationship. We agreed to a long distance because we promised to have no secrets between us.
However, just 3 months after I left I noticed she's been acting cold and 6 months after I left we broke up on valentine's day over an argument. I just found out now (4 months) after our breakup by logging into her fb account that she actually fell for a drug addict punk, 3 months after I was gone, and it was just a short fling as he just played her. She has conversations with her friends just openly talking about the affair.
Actually after the breakup, I suggested we cease all communications, but she insisted that we remain as friends giving me false hope that we could salvage our relationship. After reading even more of her fb conversations, she is just leading me on so that she can be with me in case she doesn't find a suitable replacement.
I never knew her true nature, I didn't know she was this manipulative. Actually I wouldn't be mad if she cheated on me and moved on with another decent guy but the fact that it was a fling with a drug addict pisses me off.
I really want to expose her to all of her friends to show her true nature. She had a conversation with her friends which said: "I'm not bad, I could be with xxxx after my boyfriend left for 3 months"
I want to login to her account and change her password and put this conversation as her profile picture.
Please convince me if it's a bad idea

post pics of her
stop omitting parts of the chat you pussy.
Don't waste any more time on her man. No point. She'll spin it that you are the obsessed ex or something. Just delete her and block all communication. She has nothing offer you anymore so no point talking to her
Don't let it affect your confidence. Her cheating is a reflection on her and not you
>>17327529
Shut the fuck up she's a fob so it's just fob talk with her fob friend
Yo guys, this is a silly request but I don't really know where to ask.
Anyone here have a good infographic/life hack pic about tying up someone? To a bed, or just tying up the hands. With ropes maybe, but mostly a scarf or a piece of clothes. A good website about it maybe?
I'm not a russian serial killer, it's for (consensual) sexual purposes. I'm bad at like making a knot, so tying up someone seems a bit hard for me kek.

>>17327558
I'm not looking for bondage. Just simple methods to make simple knots that will stop people from moving their hands. That's why I'm asking: I'm only finding this kind of bondage stuff on google.
>>17327574
why does the context of the knowledge matter? whether it's a fucking sailor or a gimp, a good knot is a good knot.
Dear anons, I need some advice regarding my friendship.
Been friends with this guy for 2 years, we are both in our 20s, I'm a girl.
Recently I have noticed he talks with me less and less. For example, he used to text or call me five times a day, we would talk for hours. Now he messages me every couple of days but our interactions are brief and lack the usual intimacy. He doesn't dm me funny pics on instagram, doesn't answer my snapchats, turns off fb chat. We don't live next door so most of our interactions were via social media/texts/calls....

As you get older, people become busy in their own lives. It's probably nothing personal, he's just growing into his life and figuring things out for himself. If you're close, try setting up a night once a week or so where you grab coffee or something and catch up.
>>17327438
this is some shitty bait, friend. i'll bite anyway.
>guy pursues girl for two years
>girl loves the attention and decides to string him along
>beta orbiter stops orbiting cause he grew a pair
>"wow guys, what's going on? where's my steady stream of attention?"
>>17327438
Have you asked him?
How do I stop sounding autistic on tinder?
I feel like every guy (I'm girl) I talk to thinks I'm fucking retarded and I know it's because I MAKE MYSELF sound retarded.
>>17327432
Perhaps you are retarded?
You don't sound retarded to me. Be who you are people don't like it fuckum
>>17327432
Just ask them what their hobbies are, make up some bullshit for yourself, and ask if they wanna meet
How do I start improving myself? I want to be stronger and smarter, but I always just end up drinking beers, smoking pot, and browsing 4chan. I've been through a few major depressive episodes and feel pretty good about life now, but feeling better and being better are two different things.
How do I start on the path of self improvement (and stick to it)?
Personal experience, recommended reading, or anything else on the subject are all greatly welcomed.
>>17327428
Start lifting. Seriously. Or any exercise for that matter, as it will dump good feeling hormones in your brain. Eat better, lift more and read good books that interest you. Find a hobby you enjoy and do it, with or without others approval or company. Be your own person, grow as an individual.
>>17327477
Nice dubs anon, and thanks for the response.
I want to do all of that, but I'm having a hard time breaking the behavioral patterns I've set up for myself. Overcoming the initial anxiety of "going out and doing" has always been an issue for me, even though I'm fine once I'm there.
You got a favorite book?
>>17327510
I just read "ready player one" and was enthralled by it. Fantastic read to get away from life for a while.
I know full well the struggle of not being able to get out. I have anxiety that gets worse and better sporadically, but you have to just realize that no one at a gym is going to judge you for trying to improve yourself. If they do, they're a waste of oxygen. Just get out, meet some gymbros and lift to good music
