I'm a max level introvert with terrible self esteem who honestly almost never feels lonely, no matter how long without social interaction (besides customers) I go. As long as I can talk to people on the internet, I'm happy.
But I decided that I need to stop being a bitch and to get a boyfriend. Even though I would honestly love to be alone my whole life.
So when this dude from larp asked me out for dinner, I decided to go for it. I got drunk beforehand (I always get drunk before dealing with things I don't really wanna deal with :^) ) and actually had an enjoyable time. Met him again for coffee (sober) and it was kinda awkward but still pretty darn nice.
Then we just saw the new Civil War movie. I drank before hand but it just made me tired instead of drunk... And I really didn't have an enjoyable time in the slightest.
I have a really hard time enjoying real people. I have husbandos who I adore, but idk man, 2d is just so much better. Plus I feel like he wants more then I can give, kissing and stuff makes me uncomfortable and I'm a virgin who really doesn't like to masterbate and only really thinks about sex with 2d dudes. Should I just stick with it, or just accept the fact that I shouldn't date people.
Sorry for rambling.
If you'd rather fantasize about pictures for the rest of your life, then more power to you. You don't owe it to anyone to become a normie.
But if you want to come out of your shell and start to date, since it seems at least some guys are taking interest in you, then go for it, but ease into it slowly, I guess. And try not to become an alcoholic to do it.
>>17141441
Just talk to him about all the issues you told us.
>>17141449
being a normie is the goal. And after tonight, I don't think I wanna meet him again while drunk...I had a more enjoyable time while sober.
>>17141456
I feel like I could only really do that through text. But that's the rude pussy way to do it :/ Though I should probably let him know about my "super low sexdrive" issue or just get some female viagra shit.
Hey /adv
sooo there's this long complicated backstory involved in all this but let me summarize:
sister's ex-best-weeaboo-friend from middle school lives with my hoarder parents who let her sit on the couch ALL DAY (she only gets up to make food, use the bathroom, or walk to taco bell/7-11). She lives like a filthy sewer rat. She never showers. She never brushes her teeth. She does not clean the mold that must be growing between her blobbish thighs. She doesn't have a job (welfare pile of trash), she doesn't do any chores unless forced to (my mom pays her to do the dishes everyday and she complains about that), and she has a negative attitude about everything. She smells like melted crayons, fifteen day old fish left out in the sun, and stale artificial cheese sauce. She wears the same clothes for days and I see crusted blood streaked along the back of her skirt. Honestly she's probably a health hazard.
I just moved back in with my parents, have a rad job delivering pizzas, and am close to finishing a bachelor's degree.
should I confront The Blob (as I've come to know her as) and try to scare her into straightening her life out or.. should I ignore it until I have enough money to move out? I don't know how many more fantasies about setting her on fire I can take.
She's disgusting and talks shit at her friends on the internet in a fake english accent. She's obviously mentally deranged from a lack of real-life social interactions.
I caught her today yelling at someone on her psp about being a slut and betraying her, all in a Jon Snow accent. The last straw was when she called my cat a turd.
What would you do?
Is she paying rent to live there?
>>17141391
Be as friendly and sincere to her as possible. Let her drop her guard down. When she feels very comfortable around you and you're ready to get the fuck out, tell her exactly what you think about her.
The best dicking is the long one, friendo.
>>17141408
Yeah, like $150, my mom likes to keep her around because to be there in case my dad drops dead and there's no one home
>>17141411
good master plan. Not sure how long I'll be here or how badly the situation affects my sanity but I'd be worried about confronting her before I can get out and then she poisons my cat out of some twisted sense of vengeance
Hey homies. Made a thread last night, consider this a follow up.
I met this girl online a few days ago, she lives far away but we were just talking for the fun of it. She was decently interesting to talk to and damn cute so what the hell. Then I realized quickly she's very clingy, and batshit crazy. After two days of talking she wouldn't stop saying how I was this perfect guy and shit. She mentioned her parents are dead, her grandparents don't care about her, and apparently her ex boyfriend who was twice her age (literally, she's 18 he was 37) finds her and beats the shit out of her sometimes, and still verbally abuses her over text. (Only proof of this is what she told me, could've been lying for attention)
I think she saw an escape in me or something, but I knew she was expecting her and I to be some kind of long distance thing because she demanded to know if I liked her and to make her happy I fucked up and said I did.
Last night when she went to bed I bailed out, deleted my account on the app we were using to talk and uninstalled it without saying a word to her.
I know I really did the right thing in cutting it off but god damn it I can't stop thinking that I probably just crushed this poor girl.
I just need someone to assure me that I made the right move.
Holy fuck god damn dude fucking lol you monster
>>17141356
You called her batshit insane, right? What do batshit insane people do best? They lie through their god damn teeth. Seriously, who the fuck tells strangers that much personal and crazy shit? "Hi, my dad molested me and my name is Jen"?
Good on you for backing out. Stay off the account for a few weeks and then login to block her.
>>17141392
>>17141392
This is fairly true
You dodged a bullet and she probably isn't that heart broken because this literally happens every time to her.
So the last few days I have had this condom in an aluminum wrapper (its Magnum) in the frontmost pocket of my backpack. I've also been carrying my laptop around in the backmost sleeve inside the bag, where it's supposed to go.
The other day, I noticed some yellow on the side of the screen that touches the bottom of the bag, and closest to the aluminum foil. Although they separated by the rest of the bag and some of the other stuff in it, I wanted to know if anyone knew if foil can negatively affect a laptop screen. Did some Google searching, but didn't find an answer. Some people were talking about wrapping laptops in foil, which sounds crazy.
If not, does anyone have any idea what could cause this discoloration. It seems to be temporary, though the last of it takes FOREVER to go away if it is going away at all. I've seen something like this before when I put a magnet too close to my TV, but that healed quickly. The color also responds to putting pressure on the screen, it seems to move around....
Thanks internet bros

Is there anyway to download a bunch of viruses and malware? I miss the old days of Windows XP and having a bunch of random toolbars and search bars in my browser. It made me feel comfy. I just want to enjoy it for a little bit and get nostalgia and delete it all when I am done.
What was your favorite virus/malware? Was there any you enjoyed somewhat?
What about those tool bars that supposedly paid you? Lmao.
>>17141280
Viruses break your computer quickly and aren't very fun. Malware bogs it down bit by bit so you can really enjoy doing bad bad things to your virtual machine. VirtualBox + Windows XP ISO (which you can get through illegitimate means)
Bonzi buddy, ask toolbar, google toolbar, fake antivirus with better ui design than actual antivirus, good times.
I remember the malware installing stuff into your browser and it would check every link in Google search like it was protecting from viruses and put a checkmark by the links and put goofy toolbars into your browser
I need some holiday advice, kindof.
I was going to take my partner on a holiday for a week or so to a place in Brisbane in about a month and a half, but we broke up recently and I kind of still want to go but I feel weird going myself. Nobody I know can go, and the few that could I don't talk to anymore
> 2015 was the year for losing friends
I don't like going to pubs and clubs alone, and I feel like I would maybe see the city and do some shopping one day, then just sit in the hotel room bored getting stoned, drunk and ordering room service for the rest. That kinda just seems like a massive waste.
> Brisbane because it's close-ish
> also Brisbane because I particularly like one hotel I'd like to stay at again.
> the month and a half thing is because of some super stressful shit I'm going through at the moment with houses and money and bullshit so I really want a frickin holiday soon before that gets mentioned.
What would anon do?
Are you asking whether or not you should go, or advice on what there is to do in Brisbane?
>>17141393
I'm asking would you go on a holiday alone, and if so, what the fuck do you even do on a solo holiday?
>>17141393
And also,
What you would do in my position?

Hey /adv/,
I have a dilemma.
Basically, I worked for a company as an intern (along with others). I worked really hard, staying overtime and stuff, I thought I did really well. I even got a really great review from my manager.
However, at the end of the year, some interns who I know didn't work as hard or didn't necessarily get a great review or anything got a full-time job offer, whereas I was only offered a contract.
I feel a little betrayed and cheated by the company. I took the contract cause the economy is bad right now, but I want to know if I should bother working towards getting hired by the company. It doesn't seem like they really believe in me, or they don't trust me or something.
What should I do? Should I maybe just work a bit then look elsewhere?
The contract is 2 years.
Thanks in advance.
PS. Pic unrelated.
>>17141146
If you take the contract, you're going to be stuck working for people who consider you to being inferior to your peers, for two soul sucking years. Better to get a full time position where people actually give a shit about you.
>>17141189
Yeah, I'm still looking. Hopefully I get something else. Thanks for the /adv.
>>17141146
With the contract there is more flexibility- they can send you to another department when you are done, maybe they think ypu are a bit too 'good' and won't rely on you to fill a position because they fear you will change jobs and leave them without specific skillset, a contract holds you tighter for those two years.
However, the importnt part is salary- what are they paying you, what bonus options do you have?
Are you being short-changed?
Remember ypu cn always negotiate, and if you feel this situation is wrong, why don't you have a talk with your manager who apparently likes you enough to give a good review.

How do I pick up a new accent? My current one is shit and I want to learn an accent that sounds good. Not sure which even.
This is something that only a few rare people can pull off. For example, Christian Bale masking his Welsh accent with an American one. Not trying to discourage you, it's just that you are going to have to undertake years of practice.
I go to a Japanese accent trainer every week
>>17140995
It's okay anon, I'd rather face the truth I guess. Not that it's going to stop me from trying because I don't have anything to lose and I guess my accent won't get worse from practicing.
>>17141005
Do you speak Japanese, or live there? For what purpose?
How do I stop being so obsessed with being in a relationship? No matter what I'm doing I catch myself daydreaming about having someone to share my life with, and having the only real goals and dreams I have be about shit I'll never realistically obtain.
I actually had this exact problem up until yesterday, when I got my heart broken. What I always found helps is doing something productive when you get those daydreams - I always found that I was more motivated when I was feeling that way. Go for a run, read a book, do something. Harness the energy of longing, you'll be surprised what it can do for you.
Also don't worry too much about relationships. There's a girl out there for you somewhere and you will find her someday.

I'm gay and there's no man for me out there. Not one I'd settle for, at least.
They're mostly there when I'm at work or trying to sleep. wat do?
Or maybe I only love one of them? I'm not sure.. I'm 25, I just moved back in with them for a while while I go to paramedic school. They've always financially provided for me but they are rich and I don't feel like they ever really appreciated me.
I don't really expect good advice as this is a very personal subject that I may never understand but I just need to vent really. I feel like the most important thing for me to do is just make it through this time at home with them so that they can continue under the idea that I love them, and so they can be happy.
Why do I think they don't appreciate me? Well I don't think they ever really understood how into the middle of things I have always been. When I was born, my moms dad died, whom she was overly attached to. It is very clear the she used me to stay afloat, while dealing with this grief ( that she still has not gotten over.. Twenty years later ) and dealing with my alcoholic and physically abusive dad. He gave my older brother very bad anger management issues, which he took out on me. As my brother grew up, he developed some bad drug addictions and almost died many times.. Threatening to commit suicide, not remembering anything, it was bad. I was retaining normalcy throughout this time, to make sure I didn't make bad things worse.. While in secret I too had an even worse drug addiction. In the end, I convinced my parents to pay for his schooling and now his life is on track. Because of me. There are so many cases like this, where I have held the family together, this family of liars and abusers. Now, though my dad no longer physically abuses anyone, he has turned both him and my mom into mean alcoholics, who are depressed and forget everything.
I try to keep the sadness from my little brother, who is an angel.. And who doesn't know the insane amount of stuff this family has been through since having kids.
More vent incoming
Yeah they're letting me live here while I go to school, that's nice of them. And I do a bunch of chores and try to show I care - which I do - but when it comes to interaction.. There is always a wall, that I am afraid to take down.. I never expected to be friends with my parents, but at the least I would like to enjoy some time with them. But the only way I know how to interact with them, is in the "is everything okay" mode.. And it's always been that way.
Don't I at least deserve to not be ostracized for not believing in God? It's a small issue, but when I was 12 and told my mother this, it has been an issue ever since. She has never forgiven me.. And when I told her I liked Obama in 2007.. Another small issue, for a family, but no forgiveness there.. Whereas I forgive them for everything, though I believe I'm done with it.. And when I told them I was gay, they acted as if I had become an abomination.. I can't help who I am.. I became these things in the first decades of my life, I truly do believe I am these things. For the record I don't push my beliefs on anyone. My parents however are "evangelical" and preach to me, in slurred tones, at least once a day.
I can never reveal to them who I am.. It is too far gone.. I am not a fedora neck beard by the way. I don't care about beliefs or sounding smart or any of that but when you have gone so far from your roots as I have, and you do not feel you can now turn back, nor do those you love.. It is just a really sad thing. I am ready to move out again, so that I don't have to think about it anymore.
I guess that is the end of the vent
You didn't ask to come into this life. Fuck em
>>17141369
U ain't wrong.. It's how I feel. But there's a lot of unnecessary pain if they realize I feel this way. When I left at 18 I thought I was home free - I guess I have just a little more to go. Thanks for the response.
I live in the suburbs and I want to start jogging in the afternoon. But I have anxiety and I just can't not do it when people are outside and see me. /adv/ what should I do about this? I can't really seem to do it when people I personally know see me exercising. I feel embarrassed and I start walking when someone is nearby.
It might help if you plan out your route, that way you have a finite goal and wont want to slow down. If there's a running club/society or any practising racers around where you live go along with them.
>>17140510
do it in a place thats meant for running
or buy a bicycle and do it fast
If it's troubling you that much try going early morning when no one's around
I'm in a total low currently.. I just can't take the thought of being left by my boyfriend :(. We are only together since the start of the year but he is perfect in my eyes and I just realized I love him a lot.. Problem is, we haven't had sex yet. We make out everytime I am at his place... it ends with him jacking off and me giving him a BJ, because I am "never in the mood". No idea what's wrong with me. Haven't figured it out yet. I could be an asexual,.. it could also be my overall body-problems, I'm extremely insecure with my body, especially my vagina (yeah, don't make fun of that). I can tell he is losing his patience.. But I don't really understand, because I feel like we are a perfect match... We have lots fun when we are together, but then we start breaking into a fight over text, when he mentions he needs sex and that he feels hurt by me, because I don't desire him.. Thing is.. I don't feel desire for anyone, could be Ryan Gosling in my bed and I would still feel nothing. Last time we met, I agreed to have sex but it still kind of sucked, because I was not wet or ready at all and his penis didn't go in... I explained to him I want to have sex but he needs to understand, that I can't choose over how I feel and I would like to try FOR him.. Today it kind of sounded like he was about to break up with me, he said he thinks I only want a good friend or father-figure and that I don't really love him... We are gonna meet again in two days but I have no idea what to do until then, I'm basically trying to distract myself constantly and thinking about cutting, what I stopped doing for several months now and I really, really don't want to start again. Can somebody give me advice on how I can make him understand??? and is it really that hard for guys to obtain from sex (vaginal) for half a year? I think it's really not fair.. If I am an asexual (I'm not completely sure), I did not choose this and I still love him .. Also I feel like we could make it work..
I'm on the opposite end. Girlfriend is completely uninterested in sex. Says she loves me. I love her. But seriously thinking of ending it.
Personally he sounds like he's only interested in sex.
But then again I'm one of those all girls should be virgins, wait until marriage types so what do I know.
>Also I feel like we could make it work..
Not without him feeling miserable, you can't.
