I feel like my hobby now needs to become my job or i will not have a life worth living. I have a all or nothing sort of mentality.
Now i don't want to anything now because i don't want to fail meaning that my hobby is no longer fun.
How can i still have fun with my hobby while also trying to make it my job?

It's tough being a super hero as a hobby. Take my advice and get registered with the association. There is just a short physical and a quiz that's laughably easy. Work up the ranks and they'll start paying you for it. Since you're strong you might be able to reach the top of S class and use your strength to take out demon level threats.

God I want that to be real so bad.

It depends if you can turn a profit from it.
I went from working with electronics in the army to watchmaking, since ive always been fond of it. Going to study it soon.

This, is my 10 year old German Shepherd - Corgi mix.
Currently, he is suffering from the final stages of Liver Cancer.
I need advice on putting him down.
I came home for the holidays and my family broke the news to me. They knew I wouldn't be home till now and didn't want me to worry away from home.
Across the first half of last week, I've watched him get worse. Started to see signs of organ failure- incontinence, etc.
But, in the second half, and tonight- it's reversed. He's not showing any signs of getting worse, and...

Stop investing emotions into your subservient quadruped
I think you should do it sooner rather than later.
Sounds like he's on his way out, might as well do it before he's in more pain & while you can hold his paw during the procedure. He won't care if he dies sooner, he'll be off doing dog things (or not existing, whatever). But if you leave him alive too long you'll live with the guilt of making him suffer so that YOU could have just a little more time with the qtpi because you don't want to lose him.
Ask the vet's opinion, then decide. I am sorry for both you and the dog OP, I know I would not be able to handle the pain.
I want to meet interesting people. Problem is, I don't think I even know what an interesting person looks like. I know I want to meet someone that is interesting in ways I can understand, ie, someone with similar tastes. I'm sure there are people that know so much about baseball that there's no way a conversation with them meets a wall as long as you want to talk about baseball, but baseball fucking sucks. I also suspect I don't REALLY like people with tastes too similar to mine. I'm into videogames and computers but FUCK people that talk too much about...

I'm a 16-year-old, video game, Magic: the Gathering, Anime, Panic! At the Disco Nerd. I'm relatively intelligent and have a good memory. I'm passionate about these things above but am unable to find the drive to accomplish simple tasks, including schoolwork. The truth is, I don't know if school is worth it. There isn't a college-level career that I can think of that I could take pride in, and money is pointless, I don't need much of it. What i want to do with my life is enjoy the company of others and scrape by with as little as possible. I guess...

It doesnt matter what you do for work- you will still have to work a 40hour week to get by
So why work 40hrs/week in some shitty min wage job? Put in the effort to do something that will allow you to save money so you can actually enjoy time off. Imo.
>>16608738
Ya same here but i'm still going to finish school. You may find something that you'd love or at least find a drive.

I did and I'm getting treatment I just dont know how to cope for the time being or how to cope with the fact that i have this problem in the first place
on top of that im kinda chubby so my self esteem is already not the best
Hello, /adv/,
It's my first time posting on this board, but I figure you all could help me best.
There is a strict no-relationship policy in my office. Any type of romantic or sexual relationship is grounds for termination. That being said, all of us got drunk at a Christmas party and I ended up sleeping with my coworker. The sex was absolutely amazing, and we've been talking about doing it more, but in secret. This job is very important to me, more important than any relationship I do or could have with this girl, but the idea of tabo sex turns me on...

Just do it.
Shameless self bump. Teach me to avoid feels.
Problem:
my girlfriends ex was a huge fuckboy, who used her for sex, got what he wanted, got the fun and excitement of a relationship, and quickly dumped her a week before graduation so he could pursue the life of a frat boy.
Still, to THIS DAY, she blames herself. Even when she's with me. She says she did something wrong, and that she screwed up and wasnt a good girlfriend and that it just wasn't meant to be. Its fucking obvious what this guy was, if you looked at his crowd and the type of people he associated with it was so obvious who he was.

Try asking her if she had the chance, would she get back together with him or stay with you

>fuckboy
You mean a player?
>>16608189
She would jump at the chance to be with him again if it presented itself. Don't fool yourself.
I have a very strong fear of using chats to talk to strangers online. How do I overcome it?
I don't have this fear when it comes to emails or forums - but when it comes to stuff like IRC and IM, the prospect of talking to strangers just frightens me.
>>16608178
Offer to suck their dick. That should relieve some off the stress.
>>16608178
Why?
Go more in detail about your situation cause im really confused.

What scares you?
Due to circumstances I don't want to go into, I'm going to be unable to complete my education for a computer science degree or any other subject for that matter. I'm not heartbroken about it, I just wanted to go that route for the money. But now I need to find a way to break into the real world.
I was only two years in and my schedules were pretty balanced between courses for my major and gen eds, so I've only got a basic understanding of computer science-y stuff like novice programming and knowledge of hardware. Nothing that would really wow someone...

I always suggest getting a job on a boat or ship. No experience required, great pay, and you usually work equal time on and off. Pay for Americans usually starts around $250/day on a tugboat, a little less for oil supply boats or ships, more in LA or NY or other busy ports.
I started off painting in the engine room of an oil tanker. 20 years later I'm a captain. I happen to have started a little later, after a first career, but many of my contemporaries have no college experience whatsoever. My chief mate, for example, barely finished high school, but how high you...

I was on omegle with my gf and we met these two girls. They were begging to see my cock and my gf gave me the okay. I show it and they say they're going to expose me on twitter. At one point I showed my face and they said they have pics of both. Are they trying to worry me? If they post it is there a chance it'll come back to me? What do I do guys? I'm really stressed.
Threaten to sue them for slander.

it was on omegle so I have no way to contact them now. What next?

Where's the defamation in it?
Hey /adv/ this is my first time posting in this specific forum. Well, I think I'm starting to suffer from seasonal depression. I've lost interest in basically everything. All of my hobbies. Sex. Motivation. Movement. I just want to sit. I don't have the drive to do anything. It is starting to upset my wife a lot. And its very upsetting for me. I'm just spending money on useless things. Things I don't need. THings I don't want. How can I fix this? Is it just seasonal??
Thanks for the help?

Help, I find myself typing http://4cha.. a lot. Like I don't even intent to, but it happens.
>>16608072
You could try to fill your time with better activities. Instead of being online, consider a chore you need to do, or go take a walk, meditate, etc. You might also consider accessing the internet in a different way - maybe typing 4chan.org is just part of a process that you start when you sit down in front of your computer, or click on your browser, etc. Instead, stand at your computer, get a different homepage, change something about this process to allow yourself a pause to consider what your are doing.

This right here is good advice.

Thanks, gonna turn off computer now.

She's going to be pissed at you no matter what. Let this be a lesson in not giving gift cards at all
How do you get rid of racial self loathing?
I've managed to get rid of most of my other feelings on inadequacy, but this one seems unwilling to go.

You have much to learn
Is it unhealthy/creepy to want to have kids early to make your parents happy? I'm 20 and my parents have always wanted grandkids but at the rate their health is going I doubt they'll see that day and it breaks my heart to think about it.
I'm a grill btw
Grills can't procreate, sorry
Yes. Your parents would probably rather you have children when you are ready and financially stable.
A few months after my mother was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, my sisters both announced that they were expecting (first chldren for both). After the initial congratulations, my mother gave both of them a bit of a chewing-out, informing them that they had damn well better not have moved up their timetables just for her sake. My sisters both swore up and down that they had not.A couple of years later, everyone is doing all right (in whatever way the term "all right" applies to someone with Stage IV cancer), and my sisters are expecting again. Still swearing that this is not an accelerated timetable.
My point is that you should talk about this with your parents. It is probably safe to assume that, like most parents. they want grandchildren. But they probably don't want you doing things like that before you are ready, just for their sake.
Let's take a break from relationship noise and get a little more practical.

Seems like a good field and a good skill to have in the coming age of technology. The problem is college costs money and I question if college itself is worth it for this kind of field instead of trade school.
ITT tech seems to be the best option for trade school so I wanna know

Have you considered doing collage in places like EU, where the financial burden is much lighter?

Oh buddy, there's no way in hell I can afford traveling anywhere, especially not another country. After my bills I have enough to put away in an emergency savings and a little for like a movie or gas to travel around town for fun.
>>16608110
the EU does not just let us in if we ask.
