How do I have a conversation without losing my train of thought halfway?
Sometimes when I talk for too long I forget the point that I was trying to make, have no idea where I am in my sentence, or realize mid sentence that my point is not relevant to the conversation at all. I usually have to pause awkwardly and hope that somone else will catch on and help me out or, if they don't, I have to fumble with my sentences and I get even more lost and just end up looking retarded.
My friends call me a bit socially awkward but its hard to explain to them that its...

I think perhaps you should see your doctor. Losing your train of thought halfway through the conversation might be a sign that there's a problem with your memory. It happens to the best of us occasionally, but it shouldn't be happening as often as I assume it is for you.
It might even be an issue with anxiety. Either way, see your doctor.
>>16605541
I dont't think it's related to my memory ( hopefully not). Most likely its anxiety as you said.
The time coming up to Xmas I have been really ill, surviving on a mixture of painkillers and cold medicine. I haven't eaten in 9 days, the last time I did I threw up for hours and lost my voice. For a week I have been in a state of constant shivering but my face on fire, my ears are blocked, nose blocked, voice gone and throat in extreme pain, constant headache, have to hold my head to cough, all my body aches and I'm just overall finding it hard to breathe.
Anyway, I live alone with my dad and for Xmas we usually visit family together, do the whole food and...

But no, 2 days without any contact whatsoever, which I normally wouldn't mind but when he left I felt sort of hungry and was feeling really weak, figured it was due to no food so I eat a slice of plain bread. Instantly regret decision as stomach is in intense pain, making these weird fucking noises. Later on I woke up on the hard tiled kitchen floor, puke all down me, dogs licking the puke off my face, head in so much pain and ears ringing. Eventually sorted myself out, later that night some weird green shit started coming out of my eyes, looked like phlegm, figured it...

So I'm laying on the bathroom floor, blind, unable to talk, can't sleep because my throat is completely blocked along with my nose and it keeps jerking me out of sleep and giving me a heart attack and I have constant coughing fits. I was like this for a day and still no contact from dad, or anyone. Took the plunge eventually and stuck face underwater with eyes open, I was in so much pain I thought my eyes were going to burst, now I can keep them open in the dark but this green shit keeps coming out.
Anyway,...

You haven't eaten in over a week, and you haven't thought to get medical attention?
How do you do these when you're living in a car?
1.wash yourself
2.do laundry
I cannot afford to rent anymore,please help me out.
Homeless shelter or 24 hour gym
>>16605494
1. truck stop bathrooms
2. laundromat
you can also do both of these in the sink at a single-person public bathroom, but you can expect to be banned or asked to leave if it's obvious that you're using the bathroom for sponge baths and washing clothes
>>16605499
or this, though I'm not sure a gym membership would be in your budget OP
also I am sorry to hear that times are so hard for you, seems like bad times are hitting everybody more and more. hope things get better for you OP
I was invited to spend a few days in the woods by a friend and want to know if I should do it. It's a girl, so maybe we can skip the accusations of homosexuality right off. It's in NC near the mountains on private property, but I don't know if I should do it. I'd have to buy some supplies and it's kind of a spur of the moment thing. She mentioned hunting too, so I either buy camouflage or just not give a damn and just enjoy time with a girl and let the actual hunting go second. I planned on taking my rifle either way for protection, so there's that....

Go, have fun. It'll get you inna woods for a few days, at the very least. Don't go in with preconceived notions of anything else beyond that; it'll only lead to disappointment if you do. Enjoy the time outdoors and in good company, and if things progress beyond that, hey, added bonus.
Take a little spontaneous risk, son.
>>16605471
I don't expect anything to happen, if you're talking about what I think you are. I'm just thinking about leaving my house like I haven't really done in five years and just being out, you know? I don't want to do something stupid or unexpected and then regret it later, but at the same time I don't want to not do it and regret it later.
I'm also fighting with myself because I am an adult and I should be able to make up my own mind on this, but I can't. I'm like...

>>I don't expect anything to happen, if you're talking about what I think you are.
Can't blame me for assuming, considering 95% of all the fucking posts on this board invariably lead to the same question.
Put the situation into context: it's only a few days, then you get to go back to your comfort zone. This is a call to adventure if there ever was one. If your normal gig is to just fart around your house and local area, then getting outdoors--out into a...

Hi, /adv/. Yesterday and today I'he gotten a wire feling in my left arm, like it tingles and it feels numb and heavy. It happens only at night, when I'm about to sleep. I'm a 30 yo man, normal weight but with a history of high cholesterol. Should I go to ER, or simply book an appointment for some other day?
>>16605459
Get that shit checked out, that's one of the major signs of an on set heart attack and you're in a prime age group for it.
>>16605468
OP here. Got myself checked, I'm fine. I just wanted to say thanks anyway.
>>16605459
are you sure your arm isn't just dead from sleeping on it/inactivity?
I went through a hypochondriac phase when I was 25 where I got that same feeling when I would wake up at night. But it was obviously from my head resting on it for hours.
I've been talking to this girl. we went on a date yesterday. things went well. we continued talking christmas eve after she got out of work. then she just stopped responding to me. I asked her how dinner wash, she was typing then it vanished and she didnt respond. I asked her if she wanted to hang out tomorrow and she read it but said nothing, so I went to bed. I wished her a merry christmas this morning (along with everyone else on my texts) and she read it but didnt respond. then I mass texted everyone on my list that my imessage had been eating texts and she read and...

Dont act clingy. But show her you cafe (if you do care) and maybe she'll see that you're a decent human who isn't just some thirstyass nigga wanting to fuck her. Its OK to be clingy though. It shows that you care
>>16605381
>>16605381
She knows I am not just trying to sleep with her (btw this girl is out of my league, I am not a bad looking guy but I am fat. She likes big italian looking guys but she is like, the chick every dude is staring at when she walks into the room, huge tits, fat ass, lots of selfies etc. I was shocked she was into me at first.)
She also knows I haven't pursued a relationship in like 10 years because I have been busy pursuing my career and she seemed...

I said this in another thread, but I'll say it here too. IT'S FUCKING CHRISTMAS. People are busy doing Christmas things with their family and friends, or staying home and sticking candy canes in their asses while watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special for the 895th time or whatever it is people do on Christmas by themselves. Or they're just enjoying a day off to themselves before they have to go back to...

Hi /adv/,
A few months back I got somewhat involved with a female friend of a group of friends I hung out with often.
We got really close and flirted a lot to the point where I started giving her a mess of attention. She sent a lot of really strong signals. Really late into everything I found out she had a boyfriend the entire time though, at which point I confronted her and told her it wasn't a good idea for us to be flirting or for me to be giving her so much attention, though I hoped we would remain friends. She got really mad and started giving me the cold...

She has a boyfriend. How does that make you feel. You shouldn't involve yourself in other people's relationships. -source : I have trust issues with my gf. She stays in contact with her ex's.
But don't Abandon her. Thank just make things worse
>>16605422
That's my point though. Her and I were flirting with each other the entire time without telling me she had a boyfriend.
I told her I thought it was inappropriate and that it needed to stop, but I wanted to remain friends. She was the one who go mad and tried to justify us flirting, saying her boyfriend was alright with it (which I'm like 99% sure was her lying in order to keep me around to give her attention)
She was the one who abandoned me and refused to be my friend.
My main concern...

All my freinds use the fag emojis and watch to much sports and i really dont like them. Help me 4chan
>>16605306
Stop talking to them and hanging out with them. Make up excuses to not do stuff with them. Try to find other people to hang out with that you actually get along with, preferably in person. But I've found that even internet friends, if I can talk to them and they're not annoying and shit, are better than having IRL friends who are aggravating.
I'm constantly told that my singing pretty good, now all I need is to learn how to dance. But how?
Why dance?
>>16605309
I would like to know this too. But regardless, your best bet is to take some dance classes.
>>16605478
Oh and also, if you haven't taken voice lessons, take some of those too. Even the best natural singer can benefit from formal training.

How fkd am I?
>>16605290
you're fine man, keep those dylan tunes rolling.
>>16605290
Mildly fucked, but not in any way that isn't fixable. You're just getting a little later start is all. It's true that some of the more lucrative careers are harder to get into and succeed in if you start late, but unless you're trying to be a hotshot stockbroker or research chemist or something, you'll be fine.
As for the bullying stuff, all I can say is keep working on being the person you want to be. The longer you spend blazing your own path in life, the farther away all that past...

I'm going on a hunger strike, due to personal reasons. Any advice?
Grow up?
What are your reasons, and why do you feel this is the best way to accomplish your goal?

My girlfriend might be pregnant, how can I secretly get her to miscarry?
1.) Have a grown-up conversation with her about abortion. Explain to her that you do not want a child.
2.) If she insists on keeping the child anyway, end the relationship. Don't try to make her miscarry.
3) If you still think trying to make her miscarry is the best option, abort yourself instead.
>>16605170
how would she feel if she miscarried? can you deal with the guilt, the bullshit and the lies? the complex that arises from ur actions?
i couldnt
OP, you made your bed and now you lie in it. You took the risk and now you have to be responsible for that.
Im suck with managin my money. I literally spent 1,000 dollars just eating and going wherever the fuck i wanted that in a month all my money was gone. Im 19 and living with my parents so living with them gives me no reason to spend, literally everything is provided to me.
my family isnt even rich and i've been spending like a retard even though its my own mone. I've been spending it on dumb shit like ufc membership that i quit after a week (yes im pretty retarded) and other stuff. Like i said my family isnt even rich and i spend like i was rich. I regret my...

lrn2budget
Set a reasonable amount that you will NOT exceed for the month and make price decisions before buying.
Cook your own meals, use what you can from your parents' Wi-Fi to entertain yourself, limit your trips from home to only leaving for school/work and only two grocery trips, max.
What are some practical tips for nightclubbing on a budget? I have thought about going in early when entry is free and getting wristbanded or stamped, although I would need to cautious to with stamping to prevent fading. Also, I don't drink a lot; I go to clubs purely to sarge girls.
>>16605104
You're going to at least buy girls a drink, and you'll be waiting around a lot if you're going in early
>cover charge
>club full of skanks
>>16605197
Last time I went out, I was hopping between clubs. This seems to make sense earlier on in the night so I don't have to pay cover charges.
