My new driving instructor hit me in the head with his clipboard. He also slapped my hands because they were not placed correctly on the wheel.
The thing is, its not just him. I realized a lot of people tend to hit me in the head. Am I looking too much into it or does it say something about me? Why do people hit me? It's not hard or anything, but I don't think it happens to other people.
Probably because you're a pussy. What did you do after he smacked you with the clipboard? I bet you apologized to him.
>>16574178
Actually I flinched away and said "hey!?". It wasn't hard or anything, but I got really bothered, especially after thinking how often people do it to me.
It doesn't help to other people right?
>>16574172
How does your face look? Some people are made to be punchable.
Does anyone really enjoy their jobs and going to it? Not every day but they don't look for excuses not to go.
>>16574126
Bestiality.
Honestly, though sometimes I don't want to go, I love managing a little pizza bar and time always flies when I'm working there. Then again I love customer service and micromanagement so the job fits me well
>>16574167
I really, really wished that I loved customer service I really do. I just can't stand people, especially asshole people.
The issue is there doesn't seem to be any jobs where you AREN'T interacting with some sort of customer. Sucks.
tips on how to grow or seem taller? Just saw pic related and feel depressed
Manlet here. We're fucked, bro. Even though it's fashionable for the ladies to boost their own heights, us dudes need to wallow with what nature gave us or be laughed off. We will die out soon enough.
>>16574063
How tall are you?
I'm already kinda tall (around 6'1") and people say I look taller depending on my outfits. Try wearing boots and jeans, that's what I almost always wear and I guess it helps
>>16574063
Elevator shoes and a pompadour can add about 6 inches.
Will the CIA want to hire me if I major in International Relations and German?
>>16574056
Nein.
>>16574056
You want /adv/?
Don't work for the CIA

Warum nicht?
Good ways to manipulate?
I'm 6'1" ,white, good looking, Iq 134 , Looking for some tips on manipulation plz, i'm going to start of with girls.
>>16574036
What are you trying to manipulate them into doing? Too broad of a question OP. I'm a sociopath so manipulation is second nature to me but you need to tell me how you want to manipulate someone if you want my help.
>>16574048
>I'm a sociopath so manipulation is second nature to me
lmao
>>16574036
See, I would help you as I've studied psychology and sociology, have doctorate degree in both, and quite a vast knowledge about the mechanics of manipulation. But
>I'm 6'1" ,white, good looking, Iq 134
says you are not worth it, so I won't help you. Here's a clue though: if you want to get some help, make the effort not to sound overly proud. People are less likely to help conceited morons.
SO if a guy suggests drinking together or going to an event together, what are the chances that its a date??? We are friends already.. So how possible it's just a friendly outing?
If it's just the two of you then it's probably then chances are higher than usual.
>>16574042
yeah it's gonna be just me and him
>>16574020
Most guys assume you get it's a date. "Hey! Wanna go on a date with me?" feels uncalibrated. Guys who try to play it safe will try to be your friend and get you from that angle. Remember: if he's not gay and you don't look like a hideous creature (1-2 looks scale), most if not all guys will have an agenda. Always. The cool ones admit that to themselves and don't hide their attraction, THAT is only difference.
Listen. I'm not ex military. Or super trained. Or a body builder. Or even someone who goes out and fights for fun.BUT. If YOU enter a place I am at,for the purpose of slaying innocents,you will NEED to shoot me first. And make sure I am dead to. Because I,will not stand aside will you murder. I won't allow it. I'm not armed with a gun,I'm a felon,but I do have a knife,and very basic self defense training. The point brothers,if one man enters the store let's say with a handgun and start shooting and 3 or 4 good men and women charge him to take him out,what's going to happen is more likely then not you will succeed. The gunman is not going to know what to do. He is going to think he's shooting up a building of sheep,not a den of lions.become the lion. The fear of death is weakness in my eyes. Even if your a devote atheist and you take action and lose your life,if He is up there he will thank you. Not everyone can answer this call but the few of us that can need to. Chris Mintz was IS a fucking hero. If more people saw the way he did that spineless shitstain never would have killed as many innocents as he did. Anyway. Just a thought. I'll try to respond of anyone cares to.
I wish more people thought like you, but it takes more than thought. It also takes training beyond what you currently have. This is not to say that you need military or even police training, but it does take commitment to learn this stuff. Your body will not let you take on the bad guy unless you have spent considerable time unlearning that instinct.
As a Canadian, all I can think is why the fuck do Americans think like this.
>>16573966
Agreed brother. I took a few weeks of a Krav Maga class a few years ago,and it was eye opening. We we as Americans have grown fat and complacent. We have forgotten how this and all other countries were won. By blood shed. I highly doubt I'll be accepted in the military but I will be trying again in just under two moths. But the fact is I will try. Same with an attacker. I will try,I find there's no excuse for me not to.
I can't keep doing this. I cannot keep putting up with the inconsistent hours, early wake-ups, hard physical labor, downright deplorable work"mates", and LESS than non-livable wage. I can't keep job hopping from one place to another after I inevitably become Ill at the thought of working that job one more day. It's been like this every fucking time and it never gets better. I havn't had a single job worth caring for, putting effort into, or spending my time on. I don't know why I kept thinking "it will be better at the next job". I have no feeling of accomplishment or fulfillment in the shitty fast food, retail, sales, and labor fields I've worked. I was thinking tonight..I havn't even done a job where I helped someone. I would feel good if I could help people. Real help, not that fake customer service horseshit.
What are some jobs that involve making a difference? I want to make ripples of positivity on the world and it's people. I want to work for a cause, not an underwhelming paycheck and shitty lifestyle. Firemen for example. They put out fires and save lives and get payed livable wages.
So /adv/, what are some fullfilling, selfless, and well payed jobs out there?
Im 21 and in the US.

There is a related thread here: >>16573745
Be a security guard man. It's not glorious but if you work for a good firm you won't feel like you're selling your soul or anything. And what I mean by that is you don't have to be fake. Anything that comes out of my mouth is the same as it would be if I was out of uniform and I love it. No submissive customer service bullshit
As long as you have the balls to tell homeless people to leave the property then you're golden. And I know it's not the beautiful civic service you're hoping for but occasionally people actually do give me some grateful gestures for dealing with
>that weird guy over there in the trenchcoat
>>16573959
Its not even mildly related, what kind of joke is that? Bet I won't see you directing the ocean of relationship advice threads to just one either. Why don't you just answer my question?? If you clicked on my thread just to tell me not to have it, fuck off.

I don't know what to do. It was a fucking mess. They didn't even try to listen to me. Am I wrong here?
>>16573889
Cool story. Thanks for sharing.
>>16573889
Stop being poor.

20yr old here
hey man, had a night like that in november, thought about posting it but kept it for myself.
just relax, there are some shitty days in life, I would recommend to try to think it through and get some life experience from it.
I'm not the same after what happened to me, I'll never do the same mistake again.
BTW, why didnt you just sleep at your gf?
How can I turn money into more money in two years or less?
I have 1000 dollars, I want to invest it somehow.
I know nothing of starting my own business or the stock market, and no college degree and an $8 per hour job.
What do?
I want to be able to make a down payment on a house in under 6 years
A grand is not enough to invest in anything worthwhile if you want a decent return within a few years.
>>16573745
It's easy. If you have scissors you can cut each bill in half and make double the money in about 10 minutes.
>>16573745
Invest in finding a better job. I am NOT trolling.
Any idea what I should get my 28 year old sister for Christmas? I'm not that close to her and don't know what she would want. My mother suggested I get her a gift card but I hate gift cards.
Basically what would a 28 year old married woman want for christmas?
diapers
>>16573699
Candles and dildos.
I asked for a vacuum and computer parts. Oh an a new second monitor.
You should just ask her!
Do psychiatrists/therapists actually help for what they charge? Or do they just tell you what you already know. I feel like it would be a shame to see one for all that cash and have nothing out of it but an open, expensive ear to talk to.
sometimes.
>>16573650
I tried my college's free counseling sessions and it was a fucking nightmare. It was so awkward I lied about my mood so that I didn't have to go back. I'm too fucked up for professional help anyway
Some people genuinely need answers about what's going on in their head, treatment or medication. Some people find it very helpful to vent and talk through their life issues with another person, and they'd rather do it with a professional than unload on their friends and loved ones and partners or whatever. Some people expect a therapist to be a witch doctor, and they're desperately trying to "fix" things that can't be fixed or aren't actually broken. It's different for everyone.
It really helps if you can clearly say what you hope to get out of the experience. And find a doctor that has specific knowledge and/or experience on that topic.
I'm unsatisfied with my boyfriend's performance in bed and am trying to figure out how to make him get better.
>been together two years; I'm 21, he's 25
>he was a virgin before me, he's my 4th
>he was OK enough at first, but I've realized he has a low libido and sucks at sex
>lasts 5 minutes tops
>always wants to do either doggy or missionary
>just GOES SANIC FAST even though I plead with him to try going slower sometimes and changing up his pace to maybe fucking last longer
>went through a period of losing erections due to anxiety, kind of OK now but still has trouble keeping it up
>initiates sex by dropping his pants and just showing me his dick like it's supposed to turn me on- just makes me resent him for being lazy and unromantic, but I take what I can fucking get
I've asked him- are you still attracted to me? He is, so it's not that. so wtf. I've been kind of overlooking the sex thing because he eats pussy like a champ, but it's starting to grate on me that I can't ever enjoy PIV sex with him. I've never had a vaginal orgasm, but once with him he was hitting the right spot and I felt I could've almost reached it.. but of course he came in under 3 fucking minutes so fat chance I'd get that. I don't know, can this shit be fixed if I have tried to tell him over and over and he makes no changes? I don't want to break up over sex but I'm feeling like I should.
that pic is like tamagotchi 2.0
WHERE TO COP?
If he's not even going to attempt to make any changes (like you saying to go slower during sex) then it might be best to just let him go. He doesn't seem very willing to work on the problems for you.
Go fuck someone else, he's just not up to snuff.
I met a guy at a campus party three months ago. At first he was really cool and I enjoyed hooking up with him every now and then but lately he's getting really obsessed with me. We sometimes get in arguments about it and I keep reminding him that I'm not his girlfriend. Two weeks ago he asked me to be his girlfriend but I told him that I don't want to be in a relationship right now and if he wants that he should be dating girls who would be interested in relationships. It hasn't changed his behavior and he still calls me cute names and sometimes tells people I'm his girlfriend when we're out together. Aside from this he's a nice guy but I want him to move on. At the same time it's fun when we're together, I like going out with him and talking to him about things because we share a lot of the same interests.
What do I do?
Stop leading him on
>>16573508
How am I leading him on? I told him I don't want a relationship
You can't do too much. He caught the feels. Fwb usually end with one catching feels.
How do you find a goal in life if you have no passion for anything?
I don't want to spend my life working at a job I don't like just to relax during my free time and then work again. But at the same time I have no passion for anything. I am not one of these guys that early found something (productive) that he really enjoyed, continuously got better at it and later made it his profession. You may say I should just try out different things but I believe that it's not possible to say if you will like something or not without getting in-depth into it. Are people like me doomed to a dull, mediocre, joyless life?
So no one knows?
try random things
You can't find interest in anything if you don't try, idk what you want us to tell you...
