live with purpose.gif
47KB, 306x469px
This may be kind of a broad question, but how does one find a purpose in life? I see people who are into sports, into art, into science, and they are passionate about what they do.The thing is, there isn't anything that I feel particularly passionate about. How can I find something to dedicate myself to, to put all of my effort into? All I do all day is watch anime and basketball, lift, and play video games

I feel like I'm too tall. i'm a girl, 5'5" and I feel taller than most girls. it sucks, especially because I get the vibe that my boyfriend has a fetish or something for really short girls, like 5'3" and under. my idea height is like 5-5'3".

when I was younger, I was the shortest in class like in middle school and high school. I wished to be taller because that's how models are, and I wanted to be like them. now I hate my height. I'm know I'm not an awkward girl height, but it still bothers me, eseially since I feel like a lot of girls/guys are shorter these days... like I'm the same height as my boyfriends best friend.

also, I LOVE heels to pieces, but I never ever wear them because when I do i'm like 5'8". and then I'm taller than A LOT Of people.


help? :( do all guys only like really short girls mostly? like I know other girls of different heights can be a attractive, but I get really jealous around short girls even if theyre uglier than me. like my boyfriends best friend is dating a girl who's like 5'2" or so and her face isn't pretty but I hate when she talks to my boyfriend/is too friendly with him because I'm jealous of her height..

help meeeeeeee =[ should I find a different boyfriend? I know mine is attracted towards me, but I feel like I'm too tall for his ideal preferences and id be more comfortable with another dude who preferred my height girls..and my bf is like 5'11" or something (I think hes like 5'10" but he says 5'11")


help me:(((((((

There are plenty of guys who like short girls and plenty of guys who like taller girls.

> I get the vibe that my boyfriend has a fetish or something for really short girls
> I feel like I'm too tall for his ideal preferences

As long as you don't know, and only have a vibe or a feeling, you're worrying yourself sick. If it bothers you this much and you love him enough you'll bring it up. Otherwise you're making yourself worry with this thought of him not liking your height.

>>17232001


I mean... I just like know. I can tell. and all of his past girls have been REALLLY short.. like 5 feet. and I can see how he acts towards/around shorter girls, like I can tell hes attracted to them.

he said i'm the perfect height to me many times, but I just felt like he was kinda saying that.

like I feel like he likes everything about me except my height, but I don't think he finds me as too tall to not be with like as a dealbreaker, I think he just prefers shorter girls. kinda like being in a relationship with a blonde when you prefer brunettes sorta thing, you know?

but I'm also self conscious about it... and also maybe I'm prokecting because I feel like my bf isn't tall enough?? like I feel like for my height, I need someone who is ike 6'3" jus tbecause if I wear heels, I'm like 2 inches taller than my boyfriend and its SOO WEIRD I don't like it, so I cant even wear heels and I love heels...
>>
You're the average height of an American female. Is your guy short? Maybe he's insecure about his own height because being short usually make men feel less masculine. Short girls have short stubby legs and arms. Men love long legs. The few I've known to care much about a girl's height were insecure they were short. If that's the case, don't let HIS insecurity become yours

How do you tell the difference between when your woman is really horny vs. she's taken another dick?

Something happened with my girlfriend recently that's got me scared. I put my dick in her one night when she seemed really horny and it went in like smooth butter. This has never bothered me before. It didn't really bother me then except to tease her for it.

But then, a few weeks later, I fucked her out one night and then fucked her again in the morning. .... It slipped right in in the morning like butter. A light bulb went on in my head.

Either way it concerns me. I used to think I would at least have an idea that someone else had been in my girl, especially if it was without a condom. ... but now I'm confused because either she took extra dick before I fucked her OR women really can be super duper fucking aroused to the point where they're too wet and it goes in like smooth butter.

I don't even care if she's taking other dick; I care if she's lying to me about it. I could make phone calls right now and have other women sucking me off. She had better not be sneaking dick without me getting mine too.

I'm just confused because if she managed to cheat that entire week... I would be extremely, extremely impressed. Like, logistically. I would be very impressed. But she either cheated OR pussies really do turn into wet caves when they really want cock.

pussies are supposed to be lubricated like that. if you have been sticking it in before without that level of lubrication, it means you did not do enough foreplay.

>either she took extra dick before I fucked her OR women really can be super duper fucking aroused to the point where they're too wet and it goes in like smooth butter.
I will solve that riddle for you. Vaginas can be naturally wet. The lubrication of of your girlfriend's vagina cannot reveal to you whether or not she is cheating. It is a very silly idea. It is hard to believe that someone past the age of 18 years old could even begin to think something like that with a straight face.

Read her bio to see what her interests are then strike up a conversation based on her interests. If she doesn't have any listed, say hi or hello then ask her what are somethings she likes to do for fun.

How do i get over a girl?
We we never really in a relationship but weve gone on two dates.

we just had a , idk, heart to hear, and she said "I'd just really rather be platonic so I'm not sure what to say" .

i know what this means, im not gonna pester her to be my girlfriend , its just that ive sunk 2 years into this girl from the day i met her. I almost would say i love her. it literally just happened like 20 minutes ago , and im just preemptively dulling some of the pain. I just want to cry but i dont want to become a wreck sitting in bed all day.

typing this out helps already, but it still hurts really bad

The best you can do is to get your mind off of it. Go out with yours friends, socialize, etc. Most importantly, try meeting other girls and next time don't fall into the same trap of tricking yourself into thinking you love a girl just cause she showed minor interest.
>>
As someone who always falls too hard for a girl and then takes forever getting over her (like a year+) I've found that the only way to get over a girl has been to find another that I am more interested in. All the time in between you just distract yourself. I personally am a workaholic and that helps me keep my mind busy. This was useful until the last time, because I became depressed about the whole dating situation in general. I don't catch feelings for a woman often, and when I do I now just remind myself not to get too attached because chances are pretty high that I'm going to get rejected. When I'm not attached to someone I just don't feel very motivated to put any effort in to the relationship. I have no idea how people are supposed to get and lose feelings so quickly or how they're supposed to find the motivation to actually date one another when they barely care about the other person. It's all very isolating. Overall I would recommend only using workaholism as a last resort, and instead do something social like a previous anon suggested, because it will help stave off the feeling that you can't and never will connect with someone romantically. It also helps you to meet other women more frequently.

Man I feel hollow inside now.
>>
I'm not trying to minimize your feelings but look at it from another perspective. If nothing happened in two years you've been lying to yourself or something.

Hello. I'm dealing with depression caused by early balding. I'm 20. My thinning hair gave me major anxiety and exacerbated my BDD. Shaving is not acceptable in my social circle, nor closely cropping. I'm scared of finasteride but sooner or later I will take the plunge and get a prescription. Anyone with advice and/or in my same situation?

My sister is 30 and still lives with her dad.

Has no prospects of a job, future, education, or anything.

Isn't even the depressive NEET type "i'm trying but i can't get a job etc etc". Simply doesn't give a shit. Doesn't feel remorseful for her current situation or anything.

Keeps guilttripping my father to do stuff for her since he "mistreated" her in the past, which makes me feel bad for him. The amount of money he throws at her is incredible. Probably does it so that he can convince him he's become a better person. She's become his moral mirror of sorts.

I'm worried for her. She's very beautiful, and this isn't some kind of brother bias. Beauty runs out by age 30, which is the cause for my worry. A marriage could save her.

I'm telling her to get married, but she doesn't listen. She gives me that "i'm a free spirit" type of shit, you know what i'm talking about.

She's really going to be fucked if she doesn't move out soon. My father will also suffer with the toil of having her, he's on his 60's.

What must i do to put some sense into her? She's extremely against any form of criticism.

Theres a very cute girl who works at the el pollo loco drive through and I want to ask for her number. But they're always busy and I can tell she gets frustrated (though shes still sweet to me, she even told me "be careful!" as I pulled my car forward). I don't want to get her in trouble because shes always making little mistakes so she might be on thin ice with her employers, and I don't want her to get annoyed with me for trying to flirt when shes so busy. I was thinking of writing down a note and just passing it to her through the window so she can write her number on it really quickly and pass it back, but that'd probably be autistic right?

Just give her your own number and let her decide etc. That means she doesn't waste time writing her number.

Just to clarify, I'm on mobile, a newfriend and seemingly mentally deficient.
So, I've been struggling with minor mental health issues for pretty much all my life. Social anxiety, inferiority complex and dysthymia; that kind of shit. Recently I've been seeing a shrink, my anxiety is practically gone and my mood has stabilized a lot but I still don't feel like doing anything, or rather, there's nothing I'm really passionate about or look forward to. I'm kind of detached all the time, I'm permanently exhausted, so I spend time on my PC instead of doing things that would improve my life. But I don't really care about what happens to me for some reason.
Tldr: Basically, every aspect of my life is suffering because I'm a lazy twat and I don't know how to fix that.

I was born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1996. I spent the first 6 years of my life in a fairly classical suburban home with my two older siblings and a dog (though it died when I was around five or so. I wasn't bothered by her absence). I was an abnormally quiet baby, only really crying when I needed something. My memories of the place are about as poor as one would expect from life before 7 years old.

At seven, we moved to New Hampshire on supposedly spiritual grounds, and I do not remember whether these were an excuse, but off we went to Newberry, New Hampshire (might be Newbury; don't know.) It was another fairly idyllic suburban life (although not really as happy as the stereotype claims). As far as socialization and friendships go, I didn't really feel much of a connection with anyone despite doing a fair amount of classical "boy best friend" things, which foreshadows some detachment that would remain the status quo. The winter when we were there was apparently the shittiest they'd had in a decade. We also had another dog die, which I remember being slightly relieved about, since I didn't really like how the dog would play (read: teething puppy) with me, though I already knew to keep shut about that kind of thing. The church we attended was a straight-up cult, complete with all of the trimmings of intimidation, blackmail, and a following that whose lives revolved around the leader, which was later exemplified when said leader moved the congregation and most of the church followed him. This prodded my parents to get out, as the cult leader and my mom had a serious disagreement of some kind (or he was trying to have blackmail her for sex or something, I don't remember in much of any detail), but it was becoming clear (to the parents) that it wasn't safe for us there.

Not sure how close I'm getting to the length limit, so cont.
>>
We then moved to Athens, Georgia, and (at my mother's insistence, though I didn't know that at the time) we again pursued the suburban ideal (though my dad wanted the rural ideal, which was very achievable where we were, and made a lot more sense imo). This time, though, things went a bit poorly; Dad had employment, but it wasn't getting him much (it was a commission job in a dried up market), and Mom had decided to go back to college, which put our financially insolvent family into more trouble (though she did at least utilize all of the scholarships she could). At this point, Mom's stress made her inaccessible to 7/8 year old me, as talking with her was like walking in a minefield of risking offending her, and this caused (or so I theorize) my siblings to become desperate for her attention (my sister started crying for no reason and getting sick/anorexic, and my brother had an abnormally far-out rebellion phase, which only made Mom's stress worse, as practically every weekend was another pregnancy scare.) and had become very competitive, which was terrible for the youngest, as I was subject of some bullying, would never be taken seriously, and was the least capable of standing up for myself. I began to seclude myself, and my view of interpersonal relationships was skewed to hell in back. When third grade came around I did much better socially; I had about five friends, and was on good terms with pretty much everybody, though I was held back by a conception that people would hate me if I lost contact with them for any period longer than a day (a mentality I still struggle with, to the extent that I even /friendship/ at all anymore). Fourth grade got a lot worse though as I grew to very deeply resent adults in general, feeling that they were a naive and complacent class of people with no real sympathy for children, and a general dismissiveness for them. Additionally, cont.

>>17228705
Additionally, my parents divorced and my dad moved away (for work, so that he could continue to support all of us (even mom)), and I started to feel trapped inside of childhood, spending my afternoons fantasizing about being left alone as an adult (an ideal that I've finally almost achieved), and at one point having a breakdown (the only one I have ever had, publically or privately. I have never again been as distraught) because I felt so trapped. When I went to the counselor, she was frustratingly dense, and would avoid confronting any real issues. I came out resenting adults even more. Throughout this time, I also noticed that I couldn't understand my peers at all, and to this day, children are still a weird, alien thing to me. I can relate to most teenagers or adults easily, but children are as opaque as a black hole to me. (On a minor note, I also lost almost all of my recess for that year of school because I couldn't bring myself to read a book and we had to read a book a week and weren't allowed to switch, so around the fourth week of school, I picked up an unbearably boring book and never put it back down. More sadly, however, I preferred being barred from the playground because I didn't feel like I had to maintain a reputation if nobody was seeing/thinking about me, which was a practice that would carry on for a long time.) Although not that important by itself, it indicates a lot that my mother would put me at the pool at opening (during the summer before fifth grade) and pick me up usually ten to fifteen minutes after closing, which gave me something like 60 hours of swimming per week, yet in all of that time, I hardly so much as conversed with another poolgoer.

The next few years are roughly the same, though one common theme is that everybody was incredibly fond of me for some reason; people in middle school would always ask me if I remembered them from elementary and talk about it as though we had been best friends or something. cont.

Sounds like bladder infection or UTI. Go to fucking doctor where they will run tests to diagnose the problem. You can use natural alt medicine instead of whatever pharmaceutical poison they recommend

Possibly a uti by the sounds of it. Go to your doctor - they'll run tests. Then give you an antibiotic to clear it up in 3-7 days, depending. In the future, don't wait so long. Longer you wait, the worse it'll get.
