The boys pretty paranoid
his scared that if he goes abroad the pressure might be too much form him.
he's planning to go to Sheffield

his English is good enough
except for writing
some of the things his paranoid about are

how is the school system? the behavior, timetables etc.?
you see what i mean by paranoid?
anything you can say to put his mind at ease?
>>16489066

if you are not, it will be very expensive for you
most likely, you will be kicked out of the uk/europe after your studies if you are not european
I have a LDR boyfriend but I think I'm crushing on someone who looks exactly like him. The guy works at Walmart. Sometimes I go just to see him. Too scared to talk to him. Once we locked eyes when we looked up at the same time.
Please make fun of me in this thread. Maybe that'll help get my brain straight. If you want some why's and explanations I can give them to you
Please help, I am 100% serious. This is not bait or a troll. I think I love the Walmart customer service man because he looks extremely similar to my boyfriend, who I've been with 2 years but haven't met yet.
It's currently going rocky and I need something to hold onto
>Long distance relationship for 2 years
>Haven't met even once
What.
How.
fucking faggots.
I've been dry from alcohol for almost 5 months now. Wasn't major alcoholic, but lost a job because I was drunk or hungover every day, and lost a relationship.
I've been going to AA since my sobriety date, and it's helped. Now, all I wanna do is go out and drink occasionally. Not anywhere near as much as I used to, but I'd still like to drink. I'll be moving across the US to go live with my sober father and his wife while I go to school. Any thoughts??
Drug addict here. Had a problem with meth, binged regularly, then stopped, then decided to do it every once in awhile.
Worked at first, then I was in the exact same spot.
Thats just me though. Gl with the AA brainwashing unoriginal "youre a bad seed that needs god" pseudo science bullshit.
SMART recovery is better
>>16488815
Define SMART recovery? I call my sponsor and other people in the program when I'm having a "bad" day, and I usually go do something for someone to take my mind off of it.
>>16488800
Depends a lot on your self-esteem, OP.
If you need to drink for courage, you may end up getting shitfaced a lot.
I need to hear the truth. Is this cringey?
I may or may not have committed social suicide.
Oops. Meant to post the video. This is real social suicide right here.

Now for some backstory:
We have had a relationship for a couple of years now, and recently she's had surgery and medication that effects her mood in general.
This has caused her to have more mood swings then usual, she's always tired and...

Your girl is a typical shitty girl. What i mean by that is 99% of women will say what they know you want to hear and then turn around and do whatever they want to do. This usually gets them results that are in their favor and when someone finally blows up on them its a victim parade full of the words "tired, depressed, stressed, busy,unappreciated, anxious"
Dump her anon, the only way these people learn is like a fat spoiled child getting its toy ripped away finally. Otherwise they will continue to believe that telling you what you want to hear and then doing...

Reposting something from yesterday for more answers and more audience.
Approximately 8 days ago I purchased a good's gym 5 in 1 door gym trainer. Have since only used it once. i want to return it but upon disassembling it, the cheap plastic part of the design broke. That part is very much essential though it was cheap plastic.
Option A) return item and no not even mention it's broken. This might work depending on the mood of the Walmart customer service person I talk to
Option B) be honest. Tell them it broke while trying to disassemble (or assemble)...

Don't forget to tell us you're a well-known regular there. That's probably an important detail too.
I don't really want it anymore. It dawned on me I could've just used a cinder block to put my feet in to help me do sit ups, not an expensive piece of equipment. And I can use tree branches for chin ups and whatnot. Or even go to the park and play on a jungle gym. So yeah I could keep this product, but for only 1 part of it, and I don't feel it's worth it anymore
>>16488647
Oh yes hello you must've seen the previous thread.
Yeah I'm well known there. This Walmart is 2 miles away from home and has everything cheaper than all the local stores. Seriously. I've been known to visit more than twice a week sometimes.
Hey guys, I need some advice and some insight.
I'm in an awesome relationship. Like he is the one, no question. I gave birth about 2 months ago to our second kid. He was literally counting down the days until we could have sex again. Finally when we were cleared, we did and honestly it just...hurt and didn't do anything for me. I used to be a super sexual person and we were very passionate with sessions a few times a day. I used to masturbate a lot. I mean I loved sex.
Now, just the idea of it makes me anxious. Obviously he needs it but it feels..like such...

This is hard... 2 kids is alot of work aswell
As far as the sex hurting lube is the obvious answer.
Maybe him taking on a share of the choores would help younrelax durring the day and therfor reduce life stress maybe even inptove your sleep. After these things start to clear up you will most likely gind yourself getting horney again.
Out of curiosity I have a few questions.
Your and his age?
Age and sex of the kids?
Length of relationship?
Country of residence?

You will have to forgive the spelling and grammar im typing this out on my phone lol
I had my 2nd child almost 3 months ago.
I don't work, I stay at home and look after them. I also get okay sleep cos my baby sleeps well at night time (I don't get any naps during the day though). But I'm the same as you.
We haven't had sex since having the second baby. Did you have a vaginal birth?
I honestly have no desire to touch myself or have sex. I did have a sexy dream the other night so hope that means I'm starting to get some desire back.
My husband is very understanding though. Can you talk to your partner about how you're feeling?
Today mom brought me some bratwurst. They're these kind and they have natural casing, which means intestine wall, and veal in them.
What do I do? The idea of eating either grosses me out. I eat sausages all day long if they're artificial casing, but the thought of eating veal and intestine doesn't sit well with me, and of course I'd starve in a south american home.
Now sitting in my fridge. What do?

Hello friends, basically one of my closest friends broke up with his girlfriend of 3 years about 6 months ago. I've always been very close with his ex even when they were dating and as of about 6 weeks ago we've been seeing each other casually. We've made it clear we have strong feelings for each other but as of today have decided to take a break from what we're doing. It's been kept a secret for the most part, only telling a couple of people we know wouldn't say anything and there's no way a relationship can work like that. I see it as us...

You should have asked your friend before you started anything if you even remotely valued his friendship
>>16488117
She initiated it and there's no way I could have told him what had happened at that point in time.
>>16488109
Well your friend doesn't own her, nor has anything to do with her, obviously it will hurt him but if you want to be with her be prepared to stop being friends with him. If I were you, I'd say fuck that fool never talk to him and get with the girl. It's not like your friend is gunna suck your dick or give you anything remotely close to what she can do for you

You did what you had to do. They were being cunts. You might feel guilty and replay it in your head but at the end of the day don't feel bad.
They called you a pussy for not opening a door. Im sure they were up to something really honest and kind inside the building
its fine op better safe then sorry
I am 21 years old, and live with my parents. Sad, I know, but I am going to university and am on my way to becoming a highschool teacher in two years. My problem is, that my parents are very controlling, mostly my mother. She constantly gets on my ass about grades if they go to a B. Think asian standards, but white. She scares me almost every other day with threats of forcing me out of the house, searching my things to catch me doing things, even going to the point that if I want to do something, she makes it seem like its a waste of her time and not mine. She has even gone...

I suppose you don't have any options on moving out?
>>16488084
Nope. They know this fact. Saying that if I left, I would lose a check I normally get, and in this way, I can't leave. So I am trapped until they essentialy die.
I was abused by my parents, and all I have to say to you is just suck it up and get over it. Abandon hope of her behavior ever changing. It won't. Learn to control your own emotions so you don't get riled.
Got a job XD what should i buy first?
stocks in bitcoin
a treadmill
>>16488034
isnt bitcoin just a shit gimmick that will never last. and a sure way to lose money? (im no expert but i know a few people who have bitcoins and lost thousands)

I have a really hard time talking directly about anything sexual. Usually I'll just replace words like dick/vagina/breasts with "y'know" or a gesture. I struggle with this both in general sexual conversations and in more intimate settings. I've got a hell of a hard time talking dirty in bed or asking for whatever I like directly, although I don't have any trouble saying I like something, and very little trouble asking about what my partner likes.
I'm not anxious about sounding stupid or otherwise embarrassing myself, and I know what...

Just force yourself until it comes naturally, I guess? Doesn't really seem like that big of a deal, though. Everybody acts like their parents to some degree, you could've ended up with habits a lot worse than shyness over "dirty words." More of a funny quirk than a dealbreaker.
If you really want to change, I guess you just need to force yourself until it starts to be natural.
>>16488029
It's detrimental to my relationship though. I can't ask for what I want in bed or talk about what I want or how best to satisfy me. And I can't talk dirty even though both me and my boyfriend want me to. I have tried forcing myself and most of the time I full on can't make the words come out of my mouth. That's not a quirk, it's a character flaw.
>>16488047
I dunno. I guess you could just practice. Like, literally just practice saying the words out loud when you're alone, like a crazy person, until you can get past the mental block.
My bf is at work and I can't sleep because I'm scared ):
