I want to find out how to never sleep. Is this possibly, what drugs do I take and what side effects are there.
Backstory:
Im a software developer.
I have 2 jobs, 1 , a day job and 2, my own company that I am running on the side line (starting to pick up now)
Ive been working late a lot this year, many nights going to bed at 2/3 AM working on personal projects and my own company and then waking up at 7 am to go to work (day job). Some nights I just go through the night. I have done this for about 50% of this year.
When I start to feel weak I...

Don't do this. Seriously. Not sleeping for long enough will kill you. I'm not joking.
The side effects are death moron.
Your body compensates for exhaustion by releasing catecholemines that make you feel awake and alert. Chronic sleep deprivation will almost certainty give you heart problems and increase your risk of getting a laundry list of diseases
It's common sense

Thx, Ill take all the advice with an open mind. If its going to kill me, I wont, just trying to figure out if its possible without being "bad" for me.
How to wake up immediately when alarm clock rings? I usually turn it off and fall asleep again, but I have to wake up with no excuses in next days.
1) Delete that pic because this is a worksafe board.
2) Put the alarm clock far away from your bed so that you have to walk over to it.
3) Put your toothbrush and toothpaste next to it. As soon as you turn it off, start brushing your teeth. By the time you're in the bathroom spitting and rinsing, you'll have lost the irresistible draw to return to bed.
SFW board ya dingus
oh and set multiple alarms

Very loud and put it far away from you.

Try being poor with a wealthy family. Good grades scholarships and loans, friend.
Nigga that's easy as shit, get a loan and start taking lessons. Put on a few hundred hours of unassisted flight time and get yourself a license.

My anxiety is interfering with college.
It seems like every time I have a writing/speech assignment, I get very anxious knowing I have to work on it, which feels uncomfortable, and so I procrastinate quite a bit. Of course, eventually I do end up doing it, but the closer I get to the file that I'm working on, the more anxious I get.
As I'm working I remain anxious and, without realizing, I walk off my computer and start pacing around with a jumbled mess of ideas in my head, trying to think of more or different ideas. Pacing like this is very wasteful because I think it happens so I would further procrastinate. I try to catch myself getting up from my chair but I don't always do, and end up spending a wasteful amount of time just pacing around and being anxious.
Not sure what to do. I have a speech assignment that's due on Thursday and I should be working on it, but even the moment I think about doing it I just get anxious and I want to get away from that feeling.
I have the same problem OP, I'm putting off writing an eight page paper.
The only way to get past this is by facing your anxiety and using that nervous energy to get it the project done. You need to get out of your comfort zone.
>>16462177
Yeah but what makes me anxious is working on the actual thing. I can work and keep working on it but I feel like I'm just getting so overwhelmed by everything in my head and the anxiety that I end up just walking away without even realizing. Sometimes I'll just start doing something else and go like "o shit, how did I end up doing this? I need to work on my speech", completely forgotten that I have a speech to do.
>>16462188
I know how you feel but unless you get it done soon you'll only be more anxious. It's easy to say 'face your fear' but that's really the only answer here unless you've got medication for your anxiety.

It feels like a breakup in some ways. Cheer me up /adv/
date her?
>>16462137
wtf, you're a 4/10 why aren't you dating her? is she a 1?
I'm in this situation right now as the girl--not the first time I've done this either. Just know that whatever pain you're feeling now is just a portion of the pain she spared herself by cutting you off. It's all for the better.
So I fucked things up with the last few girls that came my way, and I think it's in part thanks to me appearing desperate/needy. The thing is, with some of these girls, I was still in the process of getting to know them. So, we'd be texting back and forth, and it would go from taking 2-3 minutes to 30-45 minutes for them to text back over the course of just a couple messages. Anyway, when I was talking to these girls it was usually during my free time, so while waiting for them to respond, and my mind would wander and I'd start worrying that I said something wrong....

I've recently had this problem. She's probs not that all into you, or you have to much time, My guess is you have to much free time. Find something else to do, Atleast's she's replying.
>>16462050
I guess it would be easier if I were funny. But I'm not that... uh... funny.
>>16462060
Not the case, i used to make a guy laugh all the time, but people have busy lifes, If she's replying to you that's a good sign, but you need to find somthing else to occupy youself otherwise you're going to drive her away from you.
I like my boyfriend a lot, and I think I love him. But there are things he keeps doing that I just don't understand. Even when I've told him it hurts my feelings, he still continues to do these things:
>make fun of me for being slower mentally
>call me ugly, stupid, etc
>jokingly do things that terrify me, like put lit lighters in my face, or more recently, touch me with knives
I know he likes me in his own way. He's told me on many occasions that as much...

I'm not the smartest girl, and I'm not the most attractive either. He's comfortable with me, and feels like he can "settle" with me. He acts like he's training me to be an adult.
I feel degraded and even more unattractive whenever I realize this about him. I like him a lot though, hes really goofy and weird. We have a lot of conversations and "arguments" because of our different opinions on many topics. We play fight and have tickle fights all of the time, and he pushes me to be better at the things I do.
>>16462045
He doesn't respect my feelings though. When he really hurts me, he apologizes, but at that point I'm already crying and upset.
I don't even know what I'm trying to ask anymore. I'm just really confused. Please help me, /adv/
It's kind of incredibly dumb for him to say you shouldn't have low confidence when he's constantly making fun of you. That's unfair to you.
Also, he should definitely not be calling you ugly. I understand jokingly saying that you're "stupid" (like in a cutesy way, I'm not sure if your boyfriend means it when he says it) but ugly?? Really?
He sounds childish as fuck and if he can't compromise and stop being a dick to you then maybe you're the one who should break up with him.
So I just met this girl from my holiday volunteering group for school and it was love at first site. We had anal sex for the first time last night and I woke up and found dried up pieces of shit on my dick and in my pubic hair. Gag
Needless to say I'm disgusted. I instantly lost all attraction to her this morning.
What can I / should I do? How do I politely tell her she's a gross human being?
You had anal and you didn't prepare for the highly likely possibility of it getting messy? Bro, get over yourself.
>>16461995
How do you prepare for something like this? I've had anal countless amounts of time and never once saw one piece of shit.
I just think this girl has a feces issue

Before I hook up with this person on tinder I need to know is it a chick or a dude?

You know that person is a prostitute right

Who cares? If it turns out being a guy, don't be such a faggot. Just suck her dick.

Wouldn't that be gay?
Hello friends. Despite its bad reputation, doing heroin has always sounded like a good idea to me and would probably make me more fun. Unfortunately I don't like needles and it would affect my performance at work, but it still seems like a good idea and I wish I could do it.
What's it like to do heroin? Should I do heroin?
You can smoke heroin too...
I've done it one time and it just felt like I took a bunch of vicodin.
>>16461863
>doing heroin has always sounded like a good idea to me
Mind if I ask why?
>>16461863
There's way better drugs than heroin that you can use socially at parties and such that are fun, like good coke or molly. Heroins just...fuckin bleh. It's no fun.
I'm alone, bored, depressed as fuck.
Any recommendation of a movie (Anime/Western) of cute happy love.
Thanks.

Re-watch Trigun. If you're that depressed it'll take more than a movie.

I hung out with my sister's friend and she told me how many guys she fucked (6), and I told her that was disgusting. I was genuinely sickened and made a face, telling her she should be ashamed of herself. She burst into tears and called me a bastard.
I don't get it, she seemed proud when she told me. What gives? If she didn't find it wrong or shameful she wouldn't care.
>>16461657
I'm pretty sure she expected a positive reaction out of you for some reason. That's why she's upset. But don't worry about it, I don't even think fucking six guys is disgusting at all but I still think randomly bragging about fucking 6 dudes is gross. She learned an important lesson today.
>>16461657
I think she reciprocated nicely, you offered no reason why she should be ashamed and she called you a bastard and cried because you insulted her for no reason.
>>16461657
AHAHAHAHA
you fucking roasted her dude, girls most certainly don't want to hear responses so... 'candid' to put it lightly.
/adv/ I recently got married. I have been trying to convince my wife to go to the gym. She used to go with me over the summer every now and then but not she just makes up excuses. Her college offers a really good gym. She has a belly that hangs. I don't mind the belly and the extra fat. I find it hot. But I am conscious that having a belly hang like that is a sign of being unhealthy. She also doesn't drink much water and is always getting UTI's. I grabbed her belly yesterday and explained to her that it is unhealthy and to join the gym. She got defensive and told...

How did you expect it to go when you married a chubby girl OP?
If you married her with the intent to change her then I have got some bad news for ya. It doesn't work, and trying will quickly frustrate you.
I've been with my girlfriend for a year now, and things are going very good.
So how do I end the relationship after a year or so? I don't want to spend my entire time with only one girl.
Please beta-males, don't tell me to hold on to her.

After a year or so you go "Hey it's not working out, I'm breaking up with you, bye"
