When I was around 14 or 15 my cousin lived with me for about a year, he was about 6 years older than me and we used to sell weed together and do odd jobs. One day we were hanging out and we picked up this mixed woman who was extremely hot, super smart and seductive to hang out for the day and she ended up staying at my house. I sensed that she was trying to seduce me and play with my head a little bit, but I was too young for her to actually make any moves. Fast forward to last year, I was 20 and I hit her up on Facebook, we have super chill conversations for a little while...

Dying of gastric cancer at 26
How do I die as painlessly as possible?
how'd you find out?
are you committed to not fighting it?
>>17278442
Diagnosed. Not committed this is cancer. I'm just afraid of pain. At 26 I have no kids or anything so it won't be like I'm leaving behind work
drugs and chinese cartoons.
Maybe you guys have some insight.
Over the years I've developed some very severe depression. When I turned 18 and HS was over, I realized I would have to start all over again acquiring friends and a good reputation, and I just gave up because it's so strenuous for me to do. That, plus an existential crisis, made me so depressed that I couldn't go to school, alls I did was lay on the couch, and wait for the weekend to come around so I could do drugs and forget about my pain.
Then I suffered a pretty serious trauma that I couldn't handle, and...

Your story made me laugh
You sound like you're dumb but aware of it, on top of being mentally unstable
I do not envy you
>>17278353
Wow, great response faggot.
>>17278345
Are you in therapy? Sounds like CBT would be right up your alley.
Also it seems like you have a philosophically bent mind. I recommend Stoicism and Epicureanism. It's really important to think about what a "happy" life is and how to achieve that.

How retarded is it if I want to go into college to major in computers despite not knowing a lot in the first place about them?
I really want to learn about them and what makes them "click" but I also fear that the people going in the classes are the "I learned how to make my own computer and learned 409494 programming languages at age 7" will be everywhere and discourage me. I know college is for learning, but maybe I am just screwing myself over.
Any tips?
Try asking a counselor with your school how much basic knowledge about computers you will need to know for those courses. They'll either know or be able to put you through to a professor or veteran student who can tell you what you'll need to know for the course.
>>17278335
Counselor said it would be fine, but I cannot find anyone with a computer related degree to give me tips and pointers. I'm a bit anxious, but if I really put the time into it it would be fine, yeah?
When I say not a whole lot, I know a few programming languages and the basic components of a computer, but not how to hack the fucking white house.
>>17278340
From your post, I thought that you were mostly computer-illiterate.
You will be fine. They'll teach you what you need to know. There's a reason most courses start with an 'Intro to...'
I live in the UK, fucked my A Levels up, now I guess my only chance is a practical trade because no University will accept me. I don't want to be a failure for the rest of my life.
Which trades are the best to go into? So far I've heard about Plumbing and Electrical work.
I am willing to learn anything that can make me money. I failed school because I got extremely bored with the homework and the constant everyday grinding just to pass tests - we didn't actually learn shit, just the words/definitions and calculations we'd need to do to pass...

I also fucked up my A-Levels, but I did 2 years of college to get good grades and then went on to a top 10 university. I have friends that have gone on to Oxbridge postgrad courses, or lined up jobs at banks etc. You don't have to do that, you can do pretty much anything.
I think you have to know what you want in this country to get anywhere, because otherwise you'll get stuck in the shit.
>>17278352
Yeah that's a big problem for me. I don't really know what I want. I'm 18 so this is basically my first real year in the 'real world' and everyone seems to know what they want, i'm just wandering around looking for some sort of guidance. Even my parents don't have any useful advice.
The only thing I've been interested in since a young age was the military, so I might just say fuck it and apply as an officer, if I fail to get in as one I will go in as a soldier.

I don't have a goal beyond material possessions and travel at the moment, I'm not sure what to focus on within my field.
Don't worry, no normal person has a clue. The juniors in the industries are still desperately trying to figure them out (at age 22-25). My parents didn't have a clue either. If you do get an interest or a dream company, pursue it for a while. Otherwise just pick a vague direction and keep figuring it out.
Question for femanons:
When are friend requests on facebook creepy? A girl I used to text and kinda see has been appearing in the "people you may know" lately and I want to add her, but am not sure if it would be creepy. Things kinda fell apart after she moved away and we haven't spoken in a while.
I've also heard that the people you may know may be based on who's looking at your page, so maybe she hasn't forgotten about me...
Take my reply with a grain of salt because I'm not the average person that has 500 friends, 400 of them people I don't know, on facebook.
The people I add/confirm are family, friends, work/school friends, and friends of friends that I've had pleasant conversation with. If you used to talk to her a lot before she moved away, I'd say go for it. She may be interested in reconnecting with you. But if you only talked once in a while, refrain because she probably doesn't even remember you.
However, people tend to be more liberal with their friends...

Facebook is pretty low-risk desu. As long as you just friend request her and don't message, you won't look a fool even if she ignores/rejects your request.
wtf kinda insecurity is this?
worst thing is she doesnt accepts, blocks you and moves on
holy fuck some of you people are so fucking scared
Okay so I'll try to explain as clear as I can.
You know how sometimes you have those "squiggly lines" that you see in your eye that don't go away?
Well, whenever I look at a bright background (whether it be a monitor, or a blue sky) I can see something similar to that, and I don't know what it is.
If I concentrate on it, I see hundreds of small opaque cell-like things that are constantly moving in different directions, kind of like looking under a microscope. It looks like the quick-moving cells in the background of the gif.
Any...

Those squiggly lines have a name.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater
If I understand this right you are saying that you see additional things which are similar to floaters, and you know for a fact they aren't floaters but you cannot identify them?
>>17278254
correct, it's like looking at cells under a microscope. tons of small opaque objects going in all random directions.
>>17278275
What is it that makes them fundamentally different from floaters? It seems logical to deduct that they must be minor inconsistencies that exist in the vitreous humor of your eyeballs. They could just be floaters that you happen to notice under different conditions.
so when I'm at school there are faggots who just hate me for no reason whatsoever and are just general jerks to me.
so school is ending and people are bringing in food to give out for parties and so i was thinking should i bring in pic related and give to everyone but them?
>>17278226
oh man, he'll be so fucking heated that he didn't get one.
but on the serious though you should just put a couple of xanny bars in some, and give them to the bullies, and then while they're looped out, you invite them to a private room, and take picks of your dick in their mouth while they're blacked out.
Get out. And don't return to this site until you are 18.
>>17278226
Dude those bullies are going to be SO. FUCKING. PISSED.
How can one lower his libido or completely give up sex?
I've never been successful with ladies and never will be. So I just want to focus on my work for the rest of my life. Have any advice for giving up sexuality anons?
>Inb4 fap like crazy
No, It doesnt offers a solid solution. What I want is more permament solution.
>>17278223
cut your balls off
Why will you never be successful with ladies?
>>17278227
Ok I'm gonna take the bait.
Cutting of balls reduces testostreone, that means reduced muscle mass/bone mass for the rest of my life + increased risk of osteoporosis.
How does someone find value in himself ?
That's something I've never been able to do.
I'm a pessimistic, cynical and bitter social mess. I have absolutely zero self-esteem and confidence in myself.
I will be a 3rd year 19 years old student after the summer break, I've been exercizing at home and eating more for a month now, I want to get more in shape, I guess he can't be bad, but I really hope I'll get some little results during those 2 remaining months.
Maybe the only redeeming thing I have is that I love drawing, that's probably...

selfish bump
>>17278209
You do something that forces you to see/deal with people.
You probably have little experience with humans so your sample size is bad, this makes it easier to generalize.
My friend, you're at what you perceive to be rock bottom. If that is true, you can only go up from here. You're MAKING AN EFFORT, damn you, be proud of yourself, even if only for that one thing. You're in a shitty state of mind, and you keep on keeping on. That's the spirit dude(tte). If you love draw, be drawer. If you can't pretend, stick to what you know, and go from there, work on you just like you do. Go someplace different or new for a weekend and just canvas the landscape. At worst, if you can't find beauty in people, you can surely find...

So 2 days ago, when I was almost 2 months without watching porn I visited tumblr (one link sent me there) and there were quite some suggestive and sexually explicit pictures and gifs, and then it struck me. I HAD TO watch some porn and fap, and I did it yesterday too. I feel like shit :(. I was doing soo good for this whole time, and it only took one unfortunate peek at pictures :(. How do I cope with that? I feel like shit, and I will never achieve what I want - to be free from porn.
Tragic
Congratulation you just improved your health. Your body would have been forced to discharge that sperm during your sleep and your risk for prostate cancer would have increased by 0.000001%. Buy yourself a slice of cake in celebration.
>>17278162
I feel you man, but it all boils down to how you're mentally willing to give it up. With me I distracted myself with hobbies ( working out, drawing, vidya, etc.)
I mean yeah it's not like you can get 100% away from it but at a certain point you gotta do some serious self reflection and meditate about what your goal is.
I have been a real jerk to all my friends but they invited me to the midsummer cookout anyway
What can I bring to the grill to let them all know I'm honest-to-goodness sorry? Nobody but me drinks and the host is a supernaturally picky eater.
>>17278147
Steaks
Salmon
>>17278155
So high-end meat?
What about the vegetarian? I didn't piss her off personally but considering her background it's understandable she's insulted easily.
What's the veggie equalent to high-end animal products?
>>17278147
What is the host's preference if they are such a picky eater?
I have some real scrappy White Trash dudes re-doing our Bathroom/Kitchen in our Apartment.
Its fucking 8am and the Radio is on and hammers are pounding. 8 in the fucking morning.
I understand they have work to do, but why so early? Why are they fucking blasting the Radio? I work until 1am on average, and I would fucking kill for a night of peaceful sleep, they've been here every morning for almost 2 weeks due to how slow they are.
Whats a good excuse to get them out of my house for like 2-3 hours? Im almost tempted to just strip naked and confront them...

Why should they have to delay their work because you have a shit job with shit hours?
Get a real job, loser. "hurr I have to work until 1 AM". Real men are in bed, children are working
>>17278135
I work Warehouse while I'm also doing College. Sorry my life isn't perfect and amazing yet virginboy
>>17278141
virgin boy? nigga, 3 years ago I was working over nights in the summer in a shit apartment without air conditioning while my neighbors got their roof reshingled.
I studded up, bought some nyquil and slept right through it bitch boy.
So what happens if one girl flakes on a double date is it fucked?
Yes. It is fucked in the sense that it's not a double date anymore. It can become a single date, or a threesome date, or everybody can just go home, depending on how the people involved feel about it.
Ya then the other one feels left out
>>17278123
How soon can I expect a text from the other girl?
During sex, my husband always finishes really fast. Like, REALLY fast.
Despite this, he is also really into me doing stuff that extra-excites him, like wearing costumes or doing particular things, and then, because he is SO keen, isn't interested in switching up positions to extend the sex. And despite the best of intentions, there's never any round two!
I would appreciate any advice I can get on getting him to last a little longer or extending sex... it doesn't feel worth getting fully costumed for 30 seconds of sex tbqh.
>>17278090
Have him get you off first, by eating you out or whatever it is you like. Then, after you've been satisfied, let him have his 30 seconds.
Tell him what you told us. Discuss the problem until he acknowledges that your needs are not fulfilled and that it should be fixed. You can't suddenly say "I decided for the both of us that you should do more efforts". This is a couple problem. It requires a couple discussion and a couple solution. Discuss the issue together. Do it.
Have him wear a cock ring I think those help
