So I currently work at a dream job.

But there's a snag: I did that thing where I left a safe, full-time contract job back in my hometown>moved to the other side of the country for a 6 month deal (with the possibility to get a full-time position afterwards).
I personaly feel like I deserve that full-time contract: Im just a few sizes better then anybody else at what I do!

So... The 6 months are close to the end now and I still haven't heard anything about an extention so I am gonna bring it up with my boss today or possibly tomorrow (He was gonna work 1 day during the weekend)

My question is what exactly do I say?

Ok so, i have a "love" problem i guess you can call it that. Im a pretty cold person, I keep my distance a lot, but I feel the need for a relationship, i just do, but even tho Ive been interested over a couple girls, I never know what to do, I feel like she'll think im a creep if i try do make a move and that makes it so i dont even try, now they're dating other guys. I have a very specific taste so theres not a lot of girls that fill what i want and the one that do just slip away, I dunno how to act, who knows maybe someone here can make it clear to me

Pic related, its me

Anon I feel like I'm in the same boat as you.
I'm a very apathetic person that needs my space.

I feel very little interest in many women, even though usually I have the "problem" of women interested in me, but I don't return the feeling.

When I do find a girl however, I just don't know what to do. I immediately want to jump into the exclusivity stage when I do. I know it would come off as borderline crazy even though all I wanna do is skip that "winning her over" stage.

I don't really have any advice, but just know you're not alone on this.

>>17190133
Ok first off, you look pissed.
Why? One simple reason: no smile.
Show me a smile first, genuine one, eyes smiling too.

>>17190360
Not op here. Thats a pretty creepy request considering that has nothing to do with ops problem. He already said hes a cold person. Why should he pretend to be happy on the outside? Even if he was happy on the inside a lot of people in his case lack interest in trying to appear happy because they dont care. If your whole point was to get him to send a pic of him smiling to say "look now do that and girls will think youre friendly and more attractive" then thats not the advice op needs. OP, im in a 2 year relationship and what you need to do is find a girl with not a lot of friends and who doesnt wear a lot of makeup. Why? Because it shows they dont feel like they need to be accepted by a lot of people which shows they arenr needy. It also shows they arent high maitenence because of the whole no makeup thing. Get a girl whos laid back and loves you without needing to go out everynight and who wont fuck your friends behind your back. The whole "winning her over" stage will be pretty easy if you treat her with respect and go on more personal dates than texting dates. Trying to get to know someone should happen naturally. If youre feeling a girl, ask her if she wants to go to a festival/ mall/ whatever. Pick a spot with a lot of people also there and a lot of things to do so if theres ever an awkward silence you can break it by saying "we should go to this store next" or just talk about the scene in a humorous way. If she bites, she bites.

I recently moved and I don't have time to go out and look for a relationship right now, and don't see this changing over the next few months while I get settled in a new city and new job. However, I really enjoying the sexting part of dating. How do I go about finding a safe, sexting only relationship? I recognize there will always be risks inherent with sending nudes to a stranger and am aware of measures I can take to protect myself. I am wondering two main things: how to communicate that I only want a digital relationship so I don't mislead someone into thinking there is the potential for more, and where I should start looking?

Im a young adult, very shy all his life but getting more and more isolated with the time. I hide myself behind my monitor and was hiding myself in the toilet in the last school years, because i didnt want people to see that im alone. (just a random anecdote to get a picture)

"I" fear the future and i do everything to avoid confronting it. I wasted one year now with doing nothing essentially- i didnt travel, i went to university for a bit but didnt go there after 2 months or so- i didnt talk / socialized with ANYONE there.

Im unable to socialize. More important, i fear the future. When i wake up in the morning the whole day i search for distraction. I wake up with the feeling that i have to research for unversity stuff etc. what i want to do with my life but im unable to. I wont research a bit, the most i can do is open one or two sites of universities and then quit, play video games and watch tv series again.
Also my perception of life is changing constantly (in the past more tho). Sometimes i think my life is kind alright- and then i think its terrible.

The point is, i TRIED to change me repeatedly, and i failed. I can read me trying and failing in my diary. I wrote that i would write everyday about my current state of mind etc. and if i accomplished the things that i wanted, and after a few days i just stopped writing.

About the title and the picture: I feel like i dont have my life in my hands. Theres a crazy strong voice in my head that constantly drags me away from looking forward, just in the moment the things come into sight.
EVEN MY HOBBIES I ONCE HAD, music, playing guitar- i flee from it! How is that possible? Are those NOT my hobbies? But i dont have any fun playing video games and watching fucking tv shows either! I dont have fun in anything!

I dont know where to start and where to end... ill add more information tomorrow possibly. First post i hope i didnt violate any rules.

I want to know if you can relate to me, if youve been through that.

You need structure. You need direction. Have you considered joining the military?
>>
First off, calm the fuck down. Honestly. Your "procrastination" / clearly depression that you're too anxious and self-conscious to confess for can be solved by just CALMING THE FUCK DOWN.

You don't need to play video games, you don't need to torture yourself anymore.

Take a fucking break from ALL technology and addictions (note on shitty food at random parts of the day).

Just go to some greenery, sit there, and allow yourself to just rest. No need to analyse. Realise that your brain is a lateral organ, you can have a clear mind at one point of the day, and it won't matter, because stimulus will pull you back up.

Maybe you've set too many high expectations for yourself. Just live in the moment, critique things intellectually and make an equally self-rewarding and rational plan to get your life in order. Watch motivational videos, look up different diet plans online when your curiosity asks so.

Synthesise mental impulses to push you away from bad habits for a while, manipulate your over-analysis to your advantage, be absolutely INTOLERANT and dedicate to a serious, logical thought.

Success isn't some fantastical thing that can be required at any point of time. Your mind is a biological being, you need to develop habits and coping mechanisms to survive.

And its not too late, I'm guessing you're still in yours 20s or 30s.

Start caring about "hobbies" once your life is in check. Once you're responsible and you've gotten yourself out of this self-fulfilled hell, and I mean in a job, an active timetable and routine and plans for the future, start having fun with musical instruments.

Here's the GOLDEN RULE:
ALWAYS have progress, even if you still do an addiction, NEVER do it the same way, always cut off certain games you may have played for a long time, keep moving forward. This is pretty natural for gamers anyway, but speed up the process.

Good luck

>>17189940
You're gonna die one day. And accept that. Accept everything. Nothing gives a fuck so rest. Let your brain be in peace, and allow your intuition and instinct to live a well-lived life take control.

Also, get used to accepting the past, even if it may have happened a few seconds before. You're a new person, you can act a new way, think a new way as you please and nobody will ever notice. Its your right and decision to do so and nobody else's to point a finger at you and stick ANY label on you.

And even if they do, even if there is conflict, go back to the fact that you're living a finite human life and handle it as best as you can with the available resources you have.

Someone please help me. Idon't know what should i do with my life.I really need your advice, it would be helpful.

I think my GF just went on a date with another guy

This puts me in kind of weird position, because she doesn't seem to realize that this was a date and that this guy likes her. He's been one of her friends for years now, and just recently has started texting her and hanging out with her a lot.

He constantly shit talks me (her boyfriend) and has consistently told her that she's "making a mistake" being with me, etc. she tells me all of this and doesn't ever take it too seriously. The guy has never liked me and I've never liked him- fair enough.

However, this morning she got breakfast with him at Waffle House, and he payed for her meal.

I don't want to make a big deal out of this, because it doesn't really bother me too much- this guy has absolutely zero chance with my girlfriend, and she's not attracted to him in the least. He's one of those hateful, skeevy, friend zone types, and I know she doesn't have romantic feelings for him. But this is the second time they've hung out one on one and he's payed for her meal, and amidst him shit talking me and constantly texting her, this is something that's bothering me just a bit

Nigga fuck that I wouldn't let it slide. First off he's talking shit about you TO YOUR GIRL and they're hanging out alone ??? Nigga what's your girl got in debted to him to hang out if he's bashing her "loved one". All around I would tell her to cut him out of her life if he's not needed.

Ps. Yes nigga that sounds like a date

I guess my issue is that this guy is SUCH a non-issue. Like he's fat, short, ugly, etc. One of those obnoxious people that talks about pepe the frog IRL. SO I feel like reacting super negatively is going to make me seem as if I perceive him as any sort of threat, which I don't. She's truly under the impression they're just friends.

last night i did anal for the first time my gf , she was using a vibrator in the meantime and she we was really enjoying it.
but when she was about to orgasm she called me with her ex boyfriend name, she didnt realized it until i told her, she was very embarassed about it and she apologized, but i cant stop thinking about it, i feel kinda different about her now.
what does that mean /adv/? they were about to have a baby 2 years ago but she had a miscarriage and he became both phisically and verbally abusive, now he's just a drunkard with a shitty life and they occasionally text each other only on birthdays and festivities.

Got my tongue pierced about 3 weeks ago. What is this skin encompassing the bead?? is something wrong?? how can I fix it??

Remove the ring. Your body is trying to reject it.
If it continues, skin will grow over the piercing and you'll hav to get it surgically removed.
This is scar tissue that won't go away. It'll stay large. Maybe not quite as much, but close.
(unless it's some huge puss infection)
Ask a doc

Say there's absolutely no clubs or volunteer work in your area.
And meetup.com only lists female-exclusive meets and ones for old people.

How. The fuck. Do you meet people?
The advice is to know people already, and don't dare try to know someone who doesn't know someone you know.
But say you don't. You're starting from scratch. How?

>Online dating
>At your workplace
These are also out. A total void of results are very common from those two but people suggest them all the time.

Dear B,

I threw away the turkey because it was rotten. I'm sorry, but it had to be this way. If you cooked it, we surely could've gotten salmonella. Don't leave it outside of the fridge unless you're cooking it. I was wondering where it went for the past 5 days. Lo and behold, found it under the counter, in the cupboards after smelling something funny. Seriously, you made my kid dry heave with that scent.

I know you are probably not interested. When I asked you out, and you said yes, that put me over the moon. Then your friend tagged along, hijacking the thing, while trying to keep us from getting too close. And then we never could properly talk around him. It seemed as if he was trying to control you to a degree.

Now that we are finished with class, I won't get to see you again. Unless we hang out like we agreed, but every time I offer up a day, you are busy with no other day offered. Granted this happened once since we agreed to do something.a

If you are not interested, just tell me. Please just tell me.

I love you.
>>
L,

Let me start by saying you are flawless in my eyes. The way you move is so gentle, but at the same time you exude this confidence that I admire so much. I absolutely love your hair, and your smile, my god, your smile is so gorgeous makes me want to rip my chest up. I'll be honest, when you giggled at my snarky remark in choir a year ago, my heart stopped, and I felt so happy, so satisfied for the rest of that month. I know this might sound creepy and slightly fedora-y, but you're not reading this so what the hell.

All that being, I'm never going to ask you out, partially for the reasons I had before (Low confidence and self esteem, etc etc), but mainly because I'm going to a university on the other side of the country, and chances are I will probably never see you again come the fall (I can't do long distance, I've tried). I'm not writing you to win you over, but to help you. I really do think you're misunderstood, and I really want to help you.

First, you really need to talk to people. I already know you're an incredibly nice person, so when one of your "friends" calls you a bitch because you didn't talk to them during one of their mental breakdowns, you can imagine how that makes me feel. But I've been in your shoes before; my first two years of highschool when I didn't talk, people assumed I was emo or something and I guess that intimidated people, because when I eventually came out of my shell, some would say that they wish they knew me sooner. So when one of your friends is having a personal problem, just say something. I know you may think you have nothing helpful or inspiring to say, but make your presence known. It will go a long way, and people will appreciate you more for who you really are.

On a similar note, if you're invited to a party, don't leave early. I don't like parties either, but by leaving early, you're saying that you have better things to do than be with your friends. So even if all they do is play a lame game of Cards Against Humanity, just stick with them.

Stop talking to those three guys, the lacrosse players that are twice your size, you know the ones. I've talked to them. All they talk about is sex. And memes. They are toxic.

This may be my personal bias, but I think you look best without makeup (I think that's related to the confidence thing I mentioned earlier), but I've been noticing that you've been putting it on more frequently, and in heavier amounts. Personally I think you're wasting your money

That's really all I can think of right now. You are a wonderful woman and you deserve the best. I don't think I'll be getting over your soon.

Contact both. There's a lot of lines being crossed to the point he's going to your place of residence. Who cares if he loses his job
>>
>>17176333
Is it enough evidence though? Should I take a picture of him standing outside of my apartment? I started writing down the dates and times he comes by. I guess I should clarify: he usually stands outside of the building, but one time he managed to get inside and walked up the stairway to my apartment door. I checked with management and no one by his name live there. I also moved since last year, he knew my old address but I have no idea how he figured out where I live now.

It's summer and we both live in the same town the university is, so I don't know how active campus security is right now, or other parts of campus "justice." I just don't want him to lose his job but keep on harassing me, I don't know if the university can actually detain him-- and I don't know if the police will think I have enough evidence to do anything about him.

I currently have the emotional equivalent to watching paint dry and I lack any vitality, anger or passion. I do things simply because I should and I only wish I could care about something. Every time I muster up enough courage to tell someone I share how I feel and they give me good advice and I always feel better after. It's after I say my feelings out loud that I realise how silly I sound and next day I wake up everything seems fresh and I have energy and I go out and I do things. But then I relapse. I wake up the next day and I just stare at a wall and never get out of bed. I don't go to any lectures and when family calls or my gf texts me I have to lie about what I had for dinner because I ate nothing all day. I'm scared that I will be stuck in this cycle forever and it's been going on for the past year and a half. I want to be able to break out and never relapse again. How do i do this? What am I supposed to be doing about it?

Yep, sounds like depression. The actual medical kind, not the "i'm sad" kind that goes away on its own.
Go see a psychiatrist.

>$150 a session
>takes months to get n appointment
pick one, you either have govt-funded healthcare or you're in the US (where you pay and get it immediately)
Unless you're in Niger or some shit.
If there's a gigantic waiting list, go write your name on it anyway basically.
Chances are you'll still have this shit in 3 months when you get your spot.

And oftentimes you get meds instead of therapy, meds don't require constant weekly appts
