I've made a new "friend" and I asked her what she thought of pubic hair, and she said it was best trimmed.
I figured I would tidy things up down there since I have no personal attachment to it, but then razor in hand I realised I had no idea what I was doing. I don't even know how to trim my damn moustache. In fact, I'm currently clean shaven after acidentally giving myself a Hitler, and before that I just acidentally shaved half of it off. I'm a klutz and I have little cordination with tools.
So any advice for trying to trim down...

Small pair of hair cutting scissors and lots of carefulness for sac hair. For the rest, an electric trimmer works well. Scissors again if you don't have that.

How do I stop myself from going too far/short?
>>17359011
This. Also, do NOT use a trimmer on balls, even with a guide. Cuts there bleed like a motherfucker. And don't worry about going too short. A 5-o-clock shadow cock is perfectly acceptable.
Do normal people feel a deep, general distress they need to keep their minds distracted from every day?
It's like, I can get in a mood sometimes where I just feel okay, but it comes back. Even when I have nothing to worry about, I start picking apart the future or big questions without real answers. I can't be happy.

>Do normal people feel a deep, general distress they need to keep their minds distracted from every day?
No.
Yes, it's impossible to contemplate your existence without coming face to face with those questions. That's the very reason religion was invented in the first place.
I'm afraid that's the cross we have to bear as mortal beings, it doesn't really get easier as you get older, but you do come to more of an acceptance with it. Death comes for us all whether you're ready or not. Look at it this way, you already didn't exist for 13 billion years before you were born, that wasn't so bad was it? As a man whose name escapes me once said, embrace the inevitable.

its normal. see, way back in the savannas of africa there were two states of mind: immediate, visible danger and looking for potential invisible danger. in the modern world without real dangers we are essentially trapped in mode 2.
there isnt supposed to be relaxed happiness. learn to live with it and realize everything is fine.
in need of tech guru. does anyone know how to get large numbers of files reliably onto an SD card. I want to load 128GB of mp3 onto a micro sd card but the transfers never work in the end. tried a few different cards. and a few different transfer methods. so far as i understand the problem is just that FAT32 sucks at high capacity
>>17358978
Do small transfers? Fat is pretty crappy about it and I doubt you can change the partition to something that doesn't suck and that can be recognized by anything.
spent 6 hours last night transferring 200MB at a time into separate folders. thought it was working. only a small number of transfers didn't do all the files. popped card into my high capacity lossless player....only about half the songs play :'(
im wondering if theres like a piece of software or something that is designed to do reliable transfers somehow?
90% sure I have mono, what am I in for guys? This is day 4 or 5. Symptoms include swollen neck glands, cold sweats/sensitive to temperature, scratchy painful throat, abdominal pain, head ache and fatigue. Also feel free to share your own personal mono stories
Just go to your audio settings and turn it to stereo
>>17358984
kek. but no seriously what the fuck is "mono"?
OP, I'm not lying when I say this. Mono can get pretty serious if left untreated. Go to the doctor immediately. I'm not saying it will kill you, but when I was in highschool I was out of commission for months due to mono.
And even after it was out of my body, I didn't fully recover from the fatigue for about a year. (It's because my parents didn't take me to the doctor until weeks in. I was at school and I passed out in the hall.)
I can't make friends. I'm nearly 19 and I've never had a group of friends until just recently and that has fallen apart completely.
It's turning me into a bitter and incredibly depressed person. Everytime my boyfriend mentions anything about going out with his friends for dinner or drinking or whatever, my mood immediately drops and I feel awful.
I have really bad social anxiety and I'm in the middle of transitioning between genders which makes me feel super awkward and uncomfortable about myself which makes it far worse.
This year was the first time I had what could be called "friends" my whole life. My boyfriend had a group of friends that would play boardgames every week or so and it was so much fun. I'd get dragged along to events with him and his friends and it was the best thing ever. I was the happiest I had ever been.
Months later, one of his friends is pretty mean to me for seemingly no reason. I was upset so I just simply unfriended him. Whenever we talked, it always devolved into some sort of argument and it was unpleasant anyways so I just stopped talking to him.
I didn't really consider the consequences of this though. Now I can't go to ANY event with my boyfriend because this friend of his was there. I didn't really have a problem with being around him, I would of course be civil but I supposedly make him uncomfortable.
But anyways, I'm now completely cut off from him and his friends. I've probably not spoken to them for a month and a bit. Not even online.
I know I need my own friends but it's so incredibly difficult for me to go out of my way to talk to people given my anxiety and awkward appearance. I dread going outside let alone talking to strangers.
They were the perfect group of friends. They loved boardgames and DnD and "nerdy" stuff in general and most of them were just the friendliest people I have ever met. I'm so alone now. I haven't spoken to anyone besides my boyfriend in real life for ages now.
I fucked up.

>I'm in the middle of transitioning between genders
Oh boy, here we go again.
>>17358973
Is that a common thing or? Not sure what's wrong with that.
>>17358973
This.
Fuck off op. I've had enough of that type of feminist trams-queer lgbtq faggot fucking mental illnesses that you represent.
And yeah I'm kinda mad but at least I'm capable of normal social interactions.
how to get over being lonely and nostalgic?
had a 3 year long gf and we broke up in 2009, still find myself looking back on her social profiles reminiscing and thinking i missed out on my "true love" opportunity every now and then
even though i had another gf in 2013 that lasted about 8 months, still can't get over the 2009 one. how do i get over this?
You dont
>>17358961
This. You find someone new and forget about her for a while, and either that while becomes forever because you found someone you truely love more, or eventually you get nostalgic again and begin the cycle anew.
i think you just get used to being lonely and nostalgic about it
Does anyone else find that somehow they treat attractive and well dressed people better when they really shouldnt?
At my uni there is this really bitchy girl who talks about yaoi...
I try to think of her as an idiot and ignore her but for some reason I am not repelled by her because she is pretty and well dressed, this causes me to talk to her and be friendly even though I try not to.
I some how don't think of her as that odd because she is attractive well dressed and confident.
I have a girlfriend I don't even like her (she watches yaoi...

You don't. Its human nature to be attracted to... attractiveness.
confident and good looking and well dressed are all attractive traits, it's okay to feel that attraction! i'm a little worried about your relationship with your girl, on the other hand. if you really don't like her, you shouldn't lead her on. that's not fair to either of you.
>>17358884
I'm not talking about my girl lol.
hey guys, i've been on 4chan about 3 times in my whole life so i'm not sure if this is the right board for this, but here goes: i've got a urine drug test tomorrow for employment and i need to pass it. i smoke weed occasionally, about once a month or so. the last time i smoked was a little over 20 days ago. it's the only drug i've used, besides cigarettes or alcohol if you want to count those as well. My question to you is do you think the THC has passed through my system yet, considering i'm an infrequent smoker? and if not, any good ideas on how...

You're more than fine. Nothing to worry about
i heard drinking a ton of water and taking a few asprin before going in for the test can help just in case, right?
i know i'm probably being silly here, but i'm gonna go crazy with anxiety without some reassuring words
How do you make yourself gay?
Please respond
Pls
Don't know if it's possible unless you're at least a little gay to begin with. Maybe try sissy hypno?? Look on Craigslist or backpage and find someone to fuck you and see if you like it
>friend gets a really dumb (albeit extremely small) gimick tattoo
>can't help but get really fucking mad whenever seeing it
How do I hold in my anger?
You're just going to have to blurt out that it's fucking stupid. It's the only way you'll be able to move on
>>17358854
It's none of your fucking business what they do with their body.
>>17358868
So I should just stand by and watch while a friend makes their body into a joke?
bf hasn't texted me back since 940
it's 1240am?
he went to the casino with his mom I guess he said. he hasn't texted me back since he got there at 940. it's like 1240am which I think it's weird he hasn't texted me and I texted him like three times "hi?" "babe?" ":/"
should I call and see if he answers or see if his phone is off? he usually just plays poker when he goes there and texts me. I'm feeling really anxious.
should I do nothing and go to bed? but if I don't get a text till...

You don't really seem to have any marketable skills. Pretty much everyone these days has experience in low-level jobs and a few college credits. It might be tough getting a decent job.
Also, where do you live? $14/hr is probably easier to get in California (where that's the equivalent of a shit minimum wage job), but harder to get in bum-fuck-nowhere Alabama (where $14/hr is likely considered a big-time position).
Landscaping is a readily available job in the summer. You'd probably be looking for another job in the winter though.
Just get two retail jobs until you're able to either find something better or major in something
hey /adv/ so im in a foreign country atm and they dont speak very much english at all. theres a girl at a local supermarket that i like. ive smiled, waved and said hello to her hut further then that its hard to communicate. what should i do?

But seriously where are you anon?
What are the keys to wealth ... I know it isn't just college .. Only the fool would believe such a thing...I have so many Questions.. I just can't post a lot ..
Start your own business and make it your life.
If you have to resort to asking 4chan the secrets to wealth you'll never have it because wealthy people are able to learn on their own. They're extremely hard but smart workers.
>>17358807
Invent something you can make for a dime, sell for a dollar and is habit-forming.
Spend less than you earn.
Also don't fall for the entrepreneur meme, yes starting your business might be good, but it might not be for you, you might have better luck joining a young business that you expect will grow and help it grow, that way you can focus in what you know instead of having to manage everything.
long story short, back in March I discovered my girlfriend of a year (probably the only girl I ever truly loved and the only one I see myself marrying) cheating on me. It was the worst night of my life, broke up with and haven't talked to her since. Been with other girls/dates but I just have such severe trust issue and emotional de-attachment. Depressed some days, I am 25. Please help.
>>17358801
Hey, at least you found out before you got married and had kids. You sound needy; so needy that you drive people away. Go to a therapist.
>>17358828
How is facing trust issues after being recently cheated on 'needy'? Also he doesn't need a therapist for gods sake, he simply needs time and someone worth taking the risk for
Just give it time. Don't rush things. Not everyone recovers from a cheating whore in the same way (or same time frame). Could take years. Realize that (/r9k/ epix memes aside) not every girl will cheat on you.
