Is it a good idea to ask for travel advice from a person who lives in that country?
>>17356804

>>17356804
you're the guy who just asked this about the teacher you know from france, arent you
If it's local. There's no point in asking someone in New York how to use the transit in Los Angeles.

Everyone's always asking the opposite but let me explain my scenario
I have been struggling on and off for 3-4 years now with a condition called Gastroparesis. It makes it extremely difficult for me to eat large amounts of food without being in pain. This, coupled with the fact most of the only foods I like have low calories, is literally killing me. I am 19 rn and am currently weighing 85 lbs, and have never gone above 105
People always comment on how small I am and that I don't care about my health and it horrifies me because it hurts so badly to do...

Ever considered that your "gastroparesis" could be psychologically inflicted?

Talk to your specialist. I imagine you're on something like metoclopramide or domperidone already?
My off the record advice would be fats. You literally can't eat anything more energy dense than fat, at 9kcal/gram
Try olive oil... But expect some mean poops if you do this endlessly
One pound of fat is 3,500kcl. You'd gain around a pound of fat for every ~400mL of olive oil, on top of your maintenance (which for you would be very low)
Fried chicken, fast food, milk shakes, king size candy bars
I read doujins, watch pornography, and look at x-rated photos but I dont masturbate to them. I just like to look and watch it. Is this weird and not normal? I just cant get "turned on" by this.
Are you male?
>>17356758
I am a female
I am American. I had a high school French teacher who is from rural France. A friend of mine wants to visit Paris. Is it appropriate of me to ask him for tourist attraction recommendations, interesting things to do in Paris and ways to avoid being ripped of as a tourist?
Paris c'est nul y'a rien à faire là bas
As long as you're wearing pants, there's nothing inappropriate about asking for tips.
>>17356724
why would it be inappropriate?
Has anyone ever tried to change a fetish?
For as long as I can remember, certain smells have really turned me on. It's dumb and I don't know why it happens.
If I see a naked chick I'm limp, but if I smell a girl's makeup, or hair, or sweat I get rock hard. It's at the point where if my girlfriend is fresh out of the shower I can't get hard. I hate it.
have you had great sexual experiences where it involves sweaty sex with running mascara? we relate these 'pheromones' to geunine good times that excites us, it lets us know 'hey this is how it smelled/looked like when i had a great time'.
Its not a fetish.
>>17356736
Yeah definitely, sex while camping with my ex was intense.
Fetish or not, it's frustrating, is there any way to drop it?
>>17356746
Not really. My ex enjoyed the smell of me when we were really intimate(im a sweaty borderline pig compared to her petite big booty frame), its all about hormones telling us to mate with that individual.
Rather than hate it, just enjoy it. It's common with humans.
I seem to be surrounded by people (East coast of the US) that don't know how to communicate with their words.
As kids, we generally learn, "If you need help from someone, ask them", right? It's not hard.
But when everyone has a "It's not fair that I should have to ask for help" or a "Words are too personal a manner of communication for me" mentality...I don't know. I don't even need advice, just confirmation from someone that I'm not the only one noticing this, this weird way people communicate.

A better way to word the problem:
People are quicker to find something to be a problem to them, relating to someone else, and then operate on that problem with that person before or without ever communicating that there is a problem.
They develop an idea that subtly boosts their own ego in the form of seeing something as a problem, but they never open their mouths to use words to let reality challenge the words, because they would rather hold it in and operate with it.
Op im from brooklyn and we have a saying there.
"Say, im walking here"
>>17356808
dude EXACTLY
There is this co-worker I like, we are both the age and we most of the time work the same hours. I am too shy to talk to him besides small talk before work. Ive messaged him on social media and he hasnt replied and I texted a buddy of his to give him my number and he never texted me. His best friend also told me he likes me as well. What should I do? Am I coming off as creepy?
>>17356678
>your job or me
I would say her because he sucks at his job.
You gave him multiple chances to get messaged back, i say now its the waiting game for you.
Wait till he messages you back.
>>17356678
You sound pretty fucking creepy to be honest.
I'm literally sick to my stomach from all this stress. I wish everyone would leave me the fuck alone. I'm surrounded by idiots. I really am, because I don't think everyone is one. Just a lot of the people who constantly touch me, talk to me, etc. Idk what the fuck to do. i need out like right now, but there is no quick way.
>>17356668
I guess my question would be what can i do about any of it??
you work in ems?
>>17356713
no I never said that. That's just an expression of being sick of it.
How the fuck do I stop myself from going full sperg?
When I get angry I can't control my words - sometimes it helps in getting other people's respect by "roasting someone", but my 2 latest relationships ended with girls crying and running away.
I get super butthurt when someone is just stupid or lies to me. A couple of years ago, when my gf cheated on me I literally destroyed her life by screaming at her in the classroom and bringing up all the embarrassing stuff.
>>17356601
Just be less of a drama queen.
I bet everyone in that classroom remembers your breakdown but will struggle to remember what you said about your girl.
you think of yourself too highly, no anger will spout if you have no ego to offend
>>17356612
Gah, I usually just have a faggy smile on my face while loudly offending someone in a way that makes them cry
It doesn't really look like I'm mad but I'm burning inside. The classroom one was an exception. I'm not proud of what happened.
>>17356625
Well when I was a little insecure fag I was even worse. Now I don't really care about insults.
Hey /adv/, social retard here.
I'm going on a date with a girl by taking her on a trail and hiking trip somewhere in Austin where we live in. Problem is, I've never been on something like this before.
What the hell do I wear and bring for this kind of thing? I literally have no idea. Snacks? Towels? Sunscreen? Keep in mind the Austin's weather is the same as satans asshole right now.
Please don't tell me I gotta bring something like pic related. It's a one day thing.
how long is said hike? timewise
Not a big ass backpack please, khakis, light shirt that matches khakis, hiking boots/shoes. Trail mix. Water bottles (not alot of them because too much weight), a compass, potable battery charger for phone, flash light, knife, sunscreen, mosquito repellant.
Dont bring alot of weight as I said, if you can a man purse (fanny pack) would be best and just joke about your man purse to your date to break the ice.
>>17356543
I want to say starting from the morning to noon; 8 - 12
Got canned from my most recent job 2 weeks ago. No matter what I do, I for the life of me, cannot find another job.
Rent is due in 2 weeks and I have no idea what to do.
>apartment complex will not allow me to pay late
Sooo.what would you are asking for here?
>>17356552
Other than look for a job, what the fuck should I do?
sell yourself on craigslist.
I got a gf who is way too good for me.
She's 19, she's studying in the same university as I am, although she studies economics and I study history. She has a lot of friends, a lot of guys wanting her, a rich family, all that stuff. She's very pretty, a great student, good at whatever she does, incredibly cool, great taste in music, and so on.
I'm 25, I have just started our classes because I dropped out before. I'm a friendless, ugly, socially awkward, pot-smoking, out-of-shape weirdo, and I'm also currently unemployed and living...

Have you talked to her about it? If not, you should. Speak to her about how you feel.
Are you two happy together? Does she love you? If that's the case, why would you give a fuck about what others have to say? As long as you two are happy with each other it doesn't matter what people think.
>>17356508
Friend of mine had a bf like you. You could smell from a mile away that he wasn't comfortable around us and really anxious. I don't know, you could just feel how insecure he was. Even if we didn't know him. It instantly devalued him.
Her new bf is also a druggie loser, but he's confortable around us. He's not talking more, or being nicer than her ex, he's just less occupied with himself in those situations, talks and listens to you. Much nicer to be around with.
Also, use that insecurity to get /fit/.
>>17356547
This person is an idiot
Don't put up with her dumb ass friends + family. This will keep happening senpai. Normies are cruel cruel people.
After a bad break up and 1 1/2 year later I finaly got back into dating and found a new girl.
Thing is, I used to be able to last like 30 mins easy.
With this girl I nut after like a minute.
She says she doesn't mind but I can't help but feel guilty about it and would like to do something about it.
Anyone got some advice for me?
If you need more info to help, just ask.
Is that with a condom?
>>17356533
A condom didn't help much.
>>17356535
Are you cut?
Could try developing death grip
>came to interview today at 10
>the interviewer said we were waiting for you yesterday
>mfw i mistook the date of interview.
they were kind enough to interview me nonetheless... and I got interview tomorrow as well but I'm fucking dead inside... What should i do /adv/?
>>17356502
You should count your blessings that they even took you in for the interview, faggot.
Go to the interview, judge their expressions and tone of voice and you can see what your chances are. Still try your best, apologize once maybe? But I wouldn't go beyond that.
or you could just beg forgiveness and say you really want the job. Depends what job it is though. Also you are taking the advice of a min wage service industry fag, just so you know.
>>17356507
Yeah, you were right. It was wrong of me to expect more than that. I should have grateful enough to get the chance.
>>17356509
Tomorrow is a whole different interview from different company though. I just feel really bad due to my incompetence. The interviewer today was cool though.
