Let's theorize about subtlety and the subconscious
What do you think trading places signifies? If subject A was standing and talking to subject B, then they traded places over the course of the conversation, what goes on in their minds? Mirroring?
Could pattern mirroring become so powerful that key expressions between two subjects occur simultaneously? If both subject A and B developed rapport, and then both fix their hair at the same time, start talking at the same time, etc.
Has anyone had any experience with Pavlov's platonic touches? Touching...

>no one wants to discuss psychology on an advice board
Go to /x/ fag
>>17268386
Didn't you know this board is for trolling, shitposting, snd tfwnogf?
For what it's worth, I find the topic interesting and am lurking. However, I'm an occultist, not psychologist, so what I have to say is nor likely what you're looking for.
Hey guys,
A non-psychological question.
My sister started a small design clothes line (she's already selling) and we'd like to have it reviewed by people who do that - where can I look them up?
I know who to contact if Iwanted computer game or movie reviewed(doesn't mean the'll answer, but still) , but for clothing I have no clue. I promised her I'll ask around.
thanks
Why not ask on /fa/ ?
>>17268000
Didn't even know for this board. Thanks man. I only lurk in /tg/ mostly. thanks.
Etsy is a popular website where people can sell design clothes and other cute handcrafted things. Maybe it could be worth checking out. I think people can leave reviews there and there might be blogs/tumblr that focus on reviewing the various artists on Etsy.

What do you do when you're sure you've found your soulmate, she shares every one of your interests and kinks and is 100% down for you, but she's like a 4/10 and that's being generous and you have mild social anxiety about people seeing you with someone ugly
then she ain't your soulmate dumbass. If she were you wouldn't give one single fuck what other people thought of you and her. Right now you're just being a pedantic little shit.
>>17267983
Fuckin' harsh bro shit, I admit my own anxiety's the problem didn't I
>>17267980
First, soulmates don't exist.
There are a few people who are highly compatible with you, but there's not The One.
If you can't get over the fact that you don't like her physically, just leave her.
Work on your social anxiety tho.
Alright /adv/, I currently work "full time" at a grocery store. I am actually a part time worker that is suppose to work 25 hours but I end up working 40 because we refuse to hire anybody and when we do the workers we hire are mostly incompetent. I make 10.75 an hour but I have to pay union dues. At the same time as working "full time", I am currently working on several projects related to my career (film) such as a documentary and a short indie film. I'm starting to feel that working 40 hours for shit pay is wasting my time. At the same time, I have...

Have you tried talking to management?
So you 're saying you want to work part time and still satisfy your interests in films? Do that.
>>17267972
I should also elaborate that if I don't work full time, they will actually start scheduling me worse hours. So if I stop working 40 hours, they will not let me stay 25 hours. It's very illegal in my union to even have a part timer close to 40 hours
Ok know I know this is going to sound stupid. But the guy I got a date with has really thin lips. I like everything about him, he's really attractive and has the perfect personality for me. But I'm afraid kissing is going to be terrible. My upper lip is thin as well, while I'd say my bottom lip is average. Does this mean kissing him is going to be a bad experience? Is lip size related to being a good kisser, or at least, a factor?
Pic related, those are his lips.
>I worry over shit that doesn't fucking matter - the thread.
it's really not about the shape of the lips. you can have a perfect pout and kiss like shit and vice versa.
>>17267784
just waiting until you get his pants off! You think lips are the biggest worry, who boy...
I do it very frequently and there are a couple of women that heard me fart at least 25 times. The one works at a local ministore so I get the chance to go there whenever I'm gassy and break wind. Once , she was walking right behind me and I farted when shepassed through. She laughed at first but that was before she got to smell some. I've done more epic farts near other girls though. Anyways , is this an offence? Can farting like that get me in trouble?

>>17267591
Can farting get you in trouble at work? I highly doubt it, unless you are in food service and it is an extreme problem.
You might not have a shot with any women you work with, but it's often best to not shit where you eat anyway.
>>17267635
I don't do this at work. I do this on purpose abd whenever I have the chance.
So, my gf and I have been dating for two months now, and she's a smoker. Die hard smoker. I don't mind the weed side, but when she smokes tobacco, I get really fucked off because of the obvious health risks and so on. When I try to talk about it, she pulls the guilt card: but anon, it keeps me calm (she reckons she has depression, but I don't know). I want her off the tobacco, but I don't know how to go about it. Any tips? Also, pic unrelated
She doesn't want your help, stop being a nag and fuck off.
It only keeps her calm because she's staving off withdrawal. She wouldn't need tobacco if she wasn't addicted to it.
>>17267427
Yeah, that's true. It'd be great if you could go around saying "hey you should do this, it's good for you" and be thanked and have them actually do it, but the world doesn't work that way.
OP, you only have partial influence over people. There are ways to tilt the odds in your favour - you should be encouraging, not accusatory. You should live a great life of your own, because when you look at people, you can tell how well they're doing. If your life is great, she'll...

How to deal with having no specific talents, or finding/developing one?
I feel like I'm very unremarkable. I play video games, watch anime, and am interested in programming and science. I have no particular talents. I'm above average at most games, but not great at any. I can't draw, as much as I wish I could. I've never tried an instrument, but I feel like I'd be bad and I don't think Iits worth paying a large sum of money just to find out.
How can I develop or find a talent? I would kill to be able to draw, but myself practice isn't...

Talents come from practice. No one is a master the first time. Find something you want to get better at and actually do it
>>17267148
Also you have a ever "meh" attitude. "I haven't tried this but I just know all be bad". If you don't over come that you'll be like that forever
Gotta buckle down and keep trying if it's something that interests you. Talent comes from hard work and persistence, man.
How do I make sure I never get tricked again?

Broke up. First it was only anger, thought It's over once it ended. Now I'm missing her damn fucking much. I can't find interest in anything, nothing brings joy, I return to her in my head constantly. 3 weeks after now.
When does it go away? How to speed it up? Will it ever get better?
Anyone who's been through that?
Literally everyone who's ever broken up with anyone has been through this. It sucks, but it'll go away after a while, just go out and engage with other people, live life and try to not dwell.
Takes everyone a different amount of time to get past it. First time it took me 2 years. Last time took about 2 months.

well what helped me was hanging out with my friends and having a good time with them. eventually, i started seeing other people too and i realized there were "plenty of fish in the sea", just like what everyone says.
working out and focusing on my hobbies also helped. i also liked that i had more money to spare.
it does get better though op. i ended up meeting people who were much better than the ex that hurt me. i wouldn't be with my current if i had stuck to my ex.
I'm in need of advice, and i feel as if the only friend i have to confide in no longer wants to give it or doesn't know what advice to give.
Know this girl for probably over two years now, I see her maybe twice a week, some days she seems really into me, other days she seems like she hates me and actively avoids me. Its really kind of fucking me up because normally im good at reading people, but with her i just cant figure out what she wants.
I asked her out to dinner probably a year ago, she said sure and then just never responded when i got up with...

Just don't date her. Dating shouldn't be complicated like that.
>>17266886
you dont give to much information of her, but i think she's using u to make someone jealous or something like that, also ask her for a date dont be afraid time has passed and if you dont you will regret
Had my wisdom teeth removed on the 16th. How long will it take the swelling to go away? I'm a literal chipmunk right now and I have a special event on the 23rd and I bought a nice dress and booked my makeup and everything. What should I do? I already cancelled my eyebrow wax appointment for tomorrow.
>>17266782
it takes a few days to a week max in my experience. I had 3 mouth surgeries over 2 years so I know what I'm talking about.
First let me say that you are stupid by organizing things so soon after a major surgery. You may not be able to open your jaw enough to talk. You may not be able to talk at all because of the pain. Any non soft food that you can't chew with just your front teeth is off the menu.
Learn from me, I had 2 dry sockets in my lower jaw at once, and don't disturb shit. Just lay and sleep and rest for the first 2 to 3 days. Don't gargle with warm saltwater. Don't pick at the stitches. Don't keep openin your mouth to look at the damage. It looks worse than...

Also because I forgot something, pertaining to your question, it took me months to resume a normal diet. I was cleaning all 4 sockets after every meal no matter what. Just used warm water to flush out food particles. Don't worry about brushing your teeth just yet. Do it when your body is ready, being gentle. The stitches not dissolving for a while is normal. They will come out eventually, especially with some VERY GENTLE coaxing. You'll find the "wounds" heal better & faster when the stitches aren't there anymore
All I can say is just let...
