how do i get good at escapism?
Social isolation and staying in your room is good, the reality doesn't touch you and you get depersonalisation sessions as a bonus.
>>17210759
ask /tg/
Drugs?
How do I get over past embarrassment? Or how do I get over the fact that im a fucking autistic piece of shit loser?
Weed is best solution
>>17210740
I don't think you understand how much of an autistic piece of shit I am. I have no weed connections, money or the ability to make them. I do have a gram in the mail and I haven't smoked in forever so that should be nice for a day or so.
Be an hero, then?

Fuck this, why are people like this? Am I being too prideful/petty to drop her from my life? I've lost more than one friend to the same principle. Or is it out of line to tell her she's a horrible friend?
>>17210647
She got a boyfriend
>Am I being too prideful/petty to drop her from my life?
No.
>Or is it out of line to tell her she's a horrible friend?
Yes.
>>17210647
Just stop talking to her. She obviously doesn't care, so why should you?
>>17210656
I don't think she does, but either way we're platonic friends and it's not like we ever talked every day, except when we first met.
>>17210659
It sucks, because we've known each other for so long. I considered her a close friend up until a few years ago
/adv/ I've got a situation going on right now.
So I'm flirting with this 24 yo milf and she's pretty cute and got a body. Well let's say she's an 7.5 - 8/10. Got a daughter around 1 yo.
We're working the same job and see each other every day.
The thing is i want just to make her a fuck buddy, nothing else. And i can see she's searching for a stepdad for her daughter. I'm 20 and i don't want her to see me like that.
Just casual fucks from time to time.
Any suggestions how to do this thing ?
Any suggestions at all?
Opinions?
You can't make her want something she doesn't want, you fuckwit.

RUN AWAY
>>17210571
This is stupid. You are shit that is going to cause abandonment problems in a 1 y/o kid.
Also stay away from single moms, the last guy probably only wanted fuckbuddies too.
Ive had a lot of illegally downloaded music for at least a year on my android but all of the sudden it decides to stop working today. It
has played fine until today and I keep my phone clean of malware. Did google update their music app?
>>17210431
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
It's almost definitely not malware. Errors in music playback would be weirdly specific.
And I don't think there's any way for Google to tell whether music is illegally downloaded; for all they know, you could have ripped the mp3s off a cd.
If a restart doesn't help, try going into Settings > Apps > Google Play Music and uninstalling updates, clearing cache, etc. Then restart again, and try playing something.
You may need to install those updates again from the Play Store for everything to work properly.
>>17210431
Why use Google Music?
Upgrade to Poweramp. I use that music player on my GS5 and really like it.
buy music we're starving

>Go to FLGS to get my first MtG deck started
>Grab several cards, everything okay
>Suddenly, qt3.14 girl
>She's buying some loose cards on the counter, Pokémon cards while at that
>She has some odd picks - cards that don't really go in a deck together, and only singles
>She's probably collecting them
>Approach and ask her if she's collecting
>"Well, yeah!"
>Shows me a huge checklist of cards from all sets ever
>"Oh, if I had my cards here I'd help you..."
And thus we talked for a while, and I accompanied her to the subway station. She seemed quite interested in me (can tell because she was relaxed while a little nervous at the same time), and even gave me a close hug when we parted at the station.
Now she gave me the checklist for three sets, and it turns out I have 15 of these cards she doesn't have. She asked me to sell them to her, and I said yes, although I didn't set a price yet. We will meet next Friday at the FLGS for the transaction.
The question: shall I sell them to her, or do I just go "nah this is a gift, keep 'em"? If so, at a reduced price? I'm asking because I'm a huge 'tard and I can't tell if I'm setting myself up here for disappointment or if this is expected.
>>17210412
>MtG
Mah nigga
>FLGS
Whats that mean?
Been a long time, kamigawa to be exact, since i touched a card.
>The question: shall I sell them to her, or do I just go "nah this is a gift, keep 'em"? If so, at a reduced price?
Giving shit away doesnt impress people anymore, it only makes you look like a fuckboi, avoid that.
Here's the best course of action imo:
Find their real actual prices, websites/magazines/guides/retailers/whatever, combine the totals up and find the one that's lowest. Keep that guide as reference if price comes up. Tell her you went with what was fairest. If the price is something like $54.78 total then say: just give me $50, or $45, and call it even. It will look like you are doing her a favor. You will look sweet to her, but not a pushover.
Now what happens next is up to you. I would ask if she wanted to go get a sweet snack or something and juat shoot the shit. Treat her like an interesting friend. Shes a girl so obviously there's sexual intrest, but never make that the focus. Make the connection, keep the "does he want me" secretive and only throw out subtle hints. Never, ever seem thristy, she is lucky to be around you and you enjoy her.

>Giving shit away doesnt impress people anymore, it only makes you look like a fuckboi, avoid that.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Sounds fair enough. I'll go with the cheapest price then for Near Mint condition (will use Troll & Toad and cheap dollar conversion).
>I would ask if she wanted to go get a sweet snack or something and juat shoot the shit. Treat her like an interesting friend.
Fair enough, although it'd be like
>Hey, here, buy my cards
>Sure!
>Now let's use this very money to go grab food for us both
Uh, will it work like that?

Verbatum is tricky, you can say the same one thing in many different ways and each will have a slightly different meaning.
But thats the basic of it. You met up again, all friendly and shit, you get what you want (some cold cash), she gets what she wants (some cards for her collection) and you both go and treat yourselves and get to know eachother better.
But do NOT expect it to go down perfectly, infact expect every worst case scenario so you know how to handle each.
But you can use the "lets go get a snack" part as a way to guage weather she's interested or not. Make sure when talking to her to find out if she has time or not by taking things slowly at first and dont jump straight to business. If she hurries you, and you will be able to tell, then its a sign that either she only wants the cards and to be done with you, or that she doesnt have alot of time.
No matter how it goes you know never to force anything, its all a choice and you never get mad if the descision isnt in your favor.
Girls can change their minds for the wierdest reasons so just keep your cool and be your charming, warm, friendly self.
Is it wrong to hurt a little kid when you are depressed (Like push, slap smack)? What if usually you are a good uncle but just once you were upset. Usually you wouldn't lay a finger on a 5 year old.

It does not have to be legal but the risk of being caught would have to be low enough or the money high enough to make it worth.

I fell in love with a random girl on Instagram...
I was going to make this thread a month ago but decided against it. But I'm here again because my feelings haven't changed. I'm at a loss... the only way I can describe how I feel about her is that she is "the one"... it's pathetic, I know. She lives across the country from me. I've sent her 1 message and she's responded to me once. I'm lost and need help desperately
Love is another one of those strong feeling just like anger, sadness and happiness, it takes over you in a way in which you cant understand.
If it makes you feel any better there are tons of girls out there who could be the one she could be sitting next to you in class or in that starbucks you frequent. Just dont get too overly attached to one person who is responsible for your overall happiness that shit is unhealthy and fucks you up in the long run
>>17209615
>I fell in love with a random girl on Instagram...
>I've sent her 1 message and she's responded to me once
What you're experience is not love. What you're experiencing is obsession. You need to distance yourself from her immediately before this obsession weighs on you even heavier than it is right now.
Unfollow. Stop sending her messages. Stop looking at her pictures. Decouple yourself.
>>17209678
An alternative would be to confess your love, she would immediately block you and life could go on. If you feel like you might have a problem with self-control this is probably the way to go.

FAQ:
>Do girls/guys like <insert specific look>?
>Is my body part big/small enough?
>Am I short/tall enough?
>Would you date a virgin?
><random insecurity>
Some do, some don't. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.
>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practicing and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever. It takes hard work, time, and effort.
>I like someone. What do I do?
Ask them out.
>How can I tell if someone likes me?
Ask them out. This is something that cannot be explained. You either have learned to intuit this or you have not. If you have not, the only way to learn is experience--there are no shortcuts. So it comes back to: Just ask them out.
>Where do I meet girls/guys?
Anywhere outside. Or online. Don't complain that this isn't helpful; stupid questions deserve answers like this.
>Someone did something insignificant. What does it mean?
Nothing significant. Stop overthinking it.
Alternative answer: we don't fucking know.
>XYZ happened. Interpret this for me please
We're not in their head, we don't fucking know. No amount of your walls of text will fix that.
>This person did something that hurt my feelings. Why do guys/girls do this?
Because shit people are shit people. It's not a gendered thing
>Someone has made it abundantly clear they're no longer interested in me. Do I still have a chance?
No
>Where do I go on a first (or subsequent) date?
Pick one or more of the following: coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, ice cream, movies, zoo, aquarium, museum, art gallery, <activity in your city>
>Brandon, that one guy who keeps asking about cuddling in platonic friendships and fart guy
Fuck off
Old Thread: >>17205561
Guys, I said something slightly offensive regarding the manner of a stranger's death. He's kind of ignoring me now because I guess it was an uncalled for comment. What do I do now to un-piss him off? I'm not interested in him romantically. I just want to get things back to normal as coworkers. If it matters, we're both in our late twenties.
Is the medfag from last thread still in here?

What happened exactly? I'm not quite sure what's going on by your description.
>it's a "people can't imagine how you could be single" episode
>"WHAT?"
>"Are you telling me you NEVER had a GIRLFRIEND?"
I am the single most undateable person in the world and I disgust everyone who has the pleasure to get to know me.
Old women always say "you must be so popular with the girls!" and shit, but that's because i'm responsible, safe, logical, reliable, intelligent, dress nicely, etc.
Basically, i'm the guy they wish their daughter would date.
Not the guy anyone's daughter actually WANTS to date. Pretty sure every girl my age can take one look and guess "yep, there's no way that guy's ever been in a relationship".

Reminder that nice guys are the REAL assholes ;^)
I know this might not be the place for it, but fuck if I know a better one at this point. This board is the last remaining remnant of humanity and companionship this site has to offer. I don't know how many of you were around for it, but back in the day, this wasn't a site for everyone and their 6 year old nephew. All of it, but specifically /b/, was a sanctuary for those of us who had nowhere else to go. Who were alone, and hated it, and could do nothing about it. We found purpose and meaning in the bonds we had with each other. Because here, despite how we acted, how absurdly we may have shown it, we knew that this was the only place that everyone else understood our pain. And so we would have baww threads, brief respites from pretending to be completely inconsiderate asshats where we would finally be able to cry. We had built a culture all our own, that nobody else could possibly comprehend or even want. We made a sanctuary for the broken, the outcast, the socially inept. For the horrifically abused, the unnamed orphans, and those that were empty inside and wished that just for a little while, they could feel. For those who had experienced incredible loss, and those who were about to become that loss to others. When the world rejected you, and life fucked you raw, that's when you earned your place in our community.
Over the years it's lost that touch, and baww threads have become something that the new /b/ doesn't even remember. They don't participate because they don't understand. They're all just rich fat white kids who grew up misunderstanding our inside jokes, and want to be edgy and racist in a place they won't get reported for it.
But earlier today, I found an image that brought back a flood of memories. Now, I was never one to cry, though I wanted to. Every time I would close my eyes and savor the sadness, but I could never bring myself to actually fully feel it. I knew that keeping everything bottled was terrible for me,
Cont.
and it was only going to get worse, but I just couldn't fucking do it. But I found an image, and it led me to another, and another, and eventually an entire archive of stories. Stories about deaths, and regrets, and the guy who runs the animal gas chamber. Stories about how this once beautifully flawed place brought anons back from the brink of suicide, and stories that could only be told in one of those rare threads. I've been reading for the better part of 2 hours, and I cried. I cried like a little bitch. And god damn it, I've never felt more like a human being.
My story is a long one, and hella depressing. Frankly I shouldn't be alive right now for more reasons than I can even count. I've been tortured, drowned, tricked into a crack addiction, and more. But I'm still here, and the only reason I've made it this far is because of you, anon. If you remember what it was like, back then, when all we had was each other, then you are and will always be my brother, or my sister. My best friend. Hell, even if you don't remember. As long as you fit the description, you're one of us. We may not have a home anymore, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let that stop me. You will always have a friend in me anon. When your best friend dies, when your mom gets cancer, when an earthquake destroys your school. When you feel so entirely alone in the world that you feel like nothingness would be a reasonable alternative, when all you want is for the pain to stop, I'll be here, waiting. You will always have someone to talk to, just like I did. You will never know my name, and I'll never know yours, but I love you anon. I love you more than you could possibly understand, because I know how much you need it.
It'll get easier someday. I promise.

>I'd like to keep meeting you and we'll see where it goes
Tomorrow is next meetup. Havent been able to meet her for 3 weeks cause I was taking care of my grandmother who is terminally ill. she wrote me a few times like "its great you doing this for her" and "i wish I could be there to help you" and "I'm thinking of you". Dunno if she did this all out of politeness so I dont know how to interpret this.
Do I (still?) have a chance? If I ever had one?
Thing is this summer (end of august) I am going abroad for studies. I will be about 800km (500 miles) away from her then for a few months. I want this to work so bad cause I like her a lot. I don't have a problem with putting my full effort into a LDR. If I have a chance what should I do to make it work till then without making her feel pushed?
>>17208351
Well nothing you can really do since you'll be leaving in a few months. If you REALLY want this, then you'll have to hook this bitch before you leave. Don't bomb her with it if she don't know already. If you can't hook this bitch before you leave then some chick is gonna leave them rubber nuts hangin out.
Just be normal like you always are. Just talk about your grandmother and ask her what she has been up to. Gonna have to find your own way to hook her, can't help you with that.
>>17208351
I'm a total ass so my first guess is she's riding you for free food. Think tinder pizza but more personal and misandrist.
I'd either stop fronting dates for a reaction or if I wasn't in the mood to entertain a fraud I'd just drop her on her ass.
If you actually feel attached then go all out before you have to skedaddle.
You have a couple of months to win her over to cock or you get sent to LDR purgatory.
This is a lose by default scenario and warrants taking a lot of risks. Be aggressive. Be weird.
bump since I'm on the road and don't want this thread to 404. some female advice would be appreciated too.
I'll reply later to everyone. Thanks guys
Is my sister trying to fuck with me?
We're both women the difference being Im 20 and shes 16, usually we sleep in separate rooms but this week my aunt and some of her kids are staying here so my sister is sleeping in my room as theyve taken up hers
For the past three nights she seems to have taken the habit of masturbating furiously right next to me in bed like half an hour after we go to "sleep.' Im clearly not asleep but pretend I am and I dont know how she wouldnt see that. She also moans fucking right next to me and yesterday I nearly screamed as she groped my leg while orgasming but kept pretending not to wake up.
Why is she doing this? Shes not a lesbian that I know of and were sisters. How do I stop this?
>I'm 16

Anyone have a dream they want interpreted?
Not all dreams mean something so some I may not have answers for.
I'm having reoccurring dreams about being attracted to a friend who isn't even aligned with my sexuality.
I'm 100% not attracted to this person when awake, why do I dream about mastrubating to them?
>>17205639
Let's just throw the masturbation part out. I tend to believe dreams are connected to the subconscious. And it could be that your subconscious is telling you that you are attracted to a quality of this person. Maybe theres something you admire about them?
If you feel no attraction when you're awake, then it's certainly not sexual.
Could it be that this person has something that you admire?
