i have an ear infection (swimmers ear) and it is the most painful thing i have ever felt in my life
ive been to the doctor and she gave me ear drops that make it hurt even more when i put them in but i think thats normal
how can i make it stop hurting till the drops kick in?
Take a couple ibuprofen.
>>17325578
ive taken some but its doing nothing and i can only take so many before that becomes its own issue
It's probably a witchcraft attack, try reflecting it back to the sender. (not joking)
I had an argument with my boyfriend on Saturday. It's kinda the first since we got back together in May. Anyway, I had said something stupid, I told him I meant nothing by it and was just overthinking. He dug into it and indirectly accused me of being dishonest and closed. This is kinda a big deal in our relationship, so it really hurt because not once have I been neither of those things. We left things on a bad note that night and he said we'd talk about it the day after, aka yesterday. He messaged me in the morning and we small-talked. He had been ill since Saturday,...

Can we get actual messages to analyze? Exactly what did you say? Details can be important in how someone reacts.

Inb4 people saying that I'm needy. See it like this, you make an arrangement but the person doesn't show nor picks up their phone or reply to text messages. Then calls you 3 hours later asking if you're still there...
It's pretty darn annoying.
Is it a strictly internet only, never met in real life "long distance relationship"? If so, it will not work. Might as well save yourself the trouble and end it now.
Any pro-choice suicide friendly forums? I recently tried to visit ASM on narkive but it's... Gone?
Help much appreciated folks.
Sort of difficult to scavenge through google at my age.

Shit, I should have clarified, in this context pro-choice refers to a pro-choice attitude toward suicide exclusively, be it motivated due to factors relating to an abortion or not.
why do i suck at texting/calling back so much?
i should be happy there are people out there taht care about me enough to try to reach out to me. but i can't seem to bring myself to just suck it up and pick up the phone/text back. i know it doesn't take long and i should just suck it up. i want to know why it takes me so much in the first place. help me not be socially retarded, /adv/
It's bevause you don't really care about the person, either that or you're shy/scared. So just go ahead and text back, you never know what might happen dude.
>>17325683
It's with everyone. Family and friends. Not that i'm shy or scared of them at all. I just feel pressured when i receive a call/text. I know that's idiotic, but that's the truth...
>>17325691
Well, I understand that but do your best to power through it because the other person may tell you something important
There's a cute dadbod barista I always see at my local Starbucks. How do I get his number or interact with him in a level other than customer/barista? If it makes any difference I'm 4'10 and look approximately 12 (I'm actually legal).

>I'm 4'10 and look approximately 12 (I'm actually legal).
When I'm at work and a girl shows she might be interested in me, the best thing she can do is make abundantly clear. A lot of customers are "nice" or "friendly" while checking out with you or whatnot and then they snap back to their normal personality. Even if a girl is super flirty and seems into me, it's hard to tell. Some people are just that way when they're nice.
Basically, make it abundantly clear that you're into him. Ask really leading questions. Ask him when he's going on break and if he wants to talk for a bit, etc. etc.
Everyone feels uncomfortable trying to ask someone out at work, especially when you work there so just keep that in mind.
Just pass him your phone number next time. Like the above anon said, it's really hard to tell when people are being flirty while you're working and it's also fairly awkward to flirt with a customer when other people are around.
Is this considered a sport and can I make money off of it? Like 6 figures??
Don't think so. However, you can eat on a Youtube/Twitch, do mukbangs. Get koreans to enjoy you stuffing your face. Have fun and enjoy your heart attack.

No I was wondering if there was a league for it that had a regular season, playoff and championship?
>>17325500
I don't think there's a league, per se. But there is, at the absolute least, a community around it, with its own relatively-famous figures. I'm not sure whether any of them make enough money from competitive eating to quit their day jobs, though.
when I was young a lot of girls I liked were banging old dudes, now I'm old so how do I bang the young chicks?
The age gap between the two in this pic is too much.
I mean, I'm into an older man but I would not date someone that much older - the 20 year mark is just pushing it, and I wouldn't feel any attraction, personally
how old are you?
>>17325485
37. I'm not talking about people younger than like 25.
Can anyone help me? I've been with a few girls now but I honestly don't know how to read them. I don't know how to close. I can get matches on tinder and get responses too but they stop replying once I try and close
>>17325416
Practice makes you better
>>17325447
True but I feel like I'm making slow progress
>>17325470
Then practice more
How do I show more dick without being an asshole when I'm talking to girls? If you know what I mean
I don't, and I'm so fucking grateful for it.
>>17325408
Talk to them about something important and grab their hands. Slowly eventually move up to the shoulder to comfort them. Move to the face. Implant kiss.
>>17325423
Lol that probably sounded a lot better in your head bro
What do you do when you fucking hate everybody?
You use your hate as a fuel. You use that fuel to amount as much money as possible. Use money to buy land in the country side. Retire. Enjoy the fact that your done with those cunts.

shot man

Then you realize that you hate yourself.
So my wisdom tooth hurts, last I say the dentist like, 5-8 months he said it's not impacted and I have room for it so Ii can keep it. I'm gonna make an appointment to see him again but I wanted the opinion of others who might have had this.
It feels like it's trying to come out of the gum. The neighboring tooth hurts a little (I think) but most of it is coming from the gum. The gum over it is swollen, I can see one part of it were it's broken and I see the white of the tooth coming. Its not red, bleeding or spewing pus so I don't think it's...

Wisdom teeth are literally assholes just sitting in your mouth. I need mine removed (crowding) but can't afford the operation right now, but it's normal for the gum to become swollen and inflamed when the wisdom tooth is pushing against it.
And people wonder why babies cry when their teeth come in. Poor bastards.
From someone who has some experience working with dentists but no expert
Sounds like gum is infected. Pericoronitis is very common with wisdom teeth. They are a bitch to clean and keep clean when they erupt from the gum. Get some chlorhexidine mouthwash (warning, over use/ prolonged use can stain teeth which can be cleaned off by hygienist) and keep clean with brushing and flossing. See a dentist.
You may also be grinding from the stress/ pain if you are getting headaches (bruxisum, another common complaint) . Lessen stress in your life, do some jaw exercises and...

Thanks, it really doesn't look infected to me but I'm gonna see my dentist anyway. I have hydrogen peroxide that I usually wash my mouth with when I do have an infection, would that help?
I am just asking myself this question lately because a lot of stuff has happened, basically my standards for a woman are ridiculously high (could explain them but cbf) but I am a virgin, I am just wondering if I should "save myself" or just forget about that idea.
It's mainly the fact that looking into it the chances of me finding a woman good enough for me could actually be very low, I guess I don't mind dying alone if their is nothing I can do to help it but I don't want to die a virgin
Should I just go for casual sex while waiting out...

You'll grow out of it as you mature. Eventually you will realize that sex is just sex and not give a fuck about your or her virginity.
I suggest you go to a hooker to cure your virginity and give you confidence.
>>17325383
Yeah I have heard a lot about virginity and sex being meaningless it's just the fact I used to think that virginity was worth a whole lot so its somewhat of a conflict I haven't fully decided on yet
>>17325376
You'll probably get neither if you actually try lol
does any body know how to change the color of this website to pic related?
my eyes cant stand the brightness during the night.
At the bottom there's a little menu box that says style, change it there
This really didn't deserve its own thread

back to /pol/ i go. thanks, anon.

Really?
How much is it actually worth trying to fully recover from bulimia?
I've struggled with it on and off for like 7 years now, and I can't help but think that if it genuinely makes me feel better maybe I should just go with it
Has anyone else had any experiences with that or other eating disorders?
>>17325358
>if it makes me feel better than I should just go with it
Well bulimia would be socially and medically acceptable if it was a good thing. So it's not a good thing. Its not healthy, but if you don't want to be healthy then don't do it, if you don't, whatever, just don't die lol
Honestly, it's worth giving up if you can but I've been struggling for years. No one knows but like you it makes me feel better and my body is trained to do it. It's fucked up what you can do to your body. But like anon has said its not healthy and it can kill you. Hopefully you don't binge and then you could have a stomach rupture. I've never binged so no problems there
I spent years with a partner with bulimia and it was fucking traumatic for me having to witness someone I loved slowly killing themselves, in the end I had to leave because it was causing me too much of my own pain dealing with it.
OP the only advice I have for you is to work on your issues whether it be body dysmorphia or something else with a good therapist because bulimia will not help it will only mask the actual problem until you eventually do permanent damage to your body or worse die.
I am somewhat a lonely guy.
Few years a go i was told to be charismatic, handsome even and funny. I was liked among the girls at the Uni. In a few years i have descended into depression and being sad. I moved to another country where i dont know anybody and i mostly spend my time on practising (i study classical music, master of music).
Yesterday, i saw two girls from the school in a cafe and they asked me to come over. We ended up flirting quite heavily, i don't do anything do deserve this, i guess i am funny person, and the girls were touching me and kissing...

It sounds like you see yourself as worthless. I don't know you but you probably aren't, just the mental strain of changes has affected your view. Other people don't see you the way you see yourself. They were probably not mocking you. If they were whatever man, that's just their opinion, just 2 people in a world with billions in it, including you. Stop thinking too much and enjoy it.
>>17325362
thank you for your answer. It gave me good points to think about.
Yours, anon
