How is it in Japan? Hows the pay, also you got jap friends?

>How is it in Japan?

Depends on what you mean. In many, many ways it's a nice country, but their work culture is fucked. It's not an anime, but I don't watch anime anyway.

The pay is fine. Can easily save up money on a normal salary. Tinder is big in Japan, so meeting girls is fairly easy. I don't speak Japanese well, so getting "real" Japanese friends is more challenging. I have only been here a couple of months at this point though.

How come so many low-tier girls find a car so alluring?

I was registered on this online site and every single teen keeps asking if you have a driver's license and a car. The minute I put into my profile I had both I started getting a lot of messages from these girls.

I mean, I live in Stockholm where getting around using public transportation is extremely convenient. I don't get it.

Mostly major outlook swings over longer periods of time. I can go from being euphorically optimistic about life to not wanting to do anything but sulk in bed for weeks. It's one of the reasons why I struggled with colleged. I'd just suddenly have no energy to do anything and feel nothing but crushing dispair. Then after a while, things seem okay and I go back to being optimistic and trying to "get my shit together". It's a cycle that keeps playing out over and over.

Are you planning on getting your PhD in Japan or in Denmark? I am from America but am trying to get my PhD in Japan, so I may be able to give you some tips on American or Japanese PhD funding. Also, I am in chemistry, not humanities.
>>
>>27173608
>language school in Japan

Don't, you fucking moron. Just don't.
>>
>>27173677

Japan is just an experience. I'd prefer to get the PhD in Denmark, but I am open to any country really. America could be an option.

The problem is my major. There's just no funding. You guys have majors where private firms have an interest in investing money into PhDs. That just doesn't really happen in my world unfortunately. Best case scenario is that some rich companies/whatever decide to sponsor a few PhD, as happened recently at my university.

Tips would still be welcome though!

While I was getting my Latin Language minor, the Classics/Latin majors were obsessed with getting publications. Apparently, humanities funding runs far thinner than chemistry funding, which is what is paying my fellow Biochemistry majors' graduate programs. So, to get a professor capable of getting funding to funnel his sparse humanities funding into your education you need to really stand out: getting publications seems like a foolproof way to do this.

Also, I had a visiting assistant professor in the Japanese department. At the "Japanese table," we talked about his graduate (PhD) education. Apparently, he did a few years in Japan on the MEXT scholarship. Apparently, you can do an entire chemistry degree on MEXT, but, if you "stand out," you can still get a few years of funding in the latter part of your PhD.

That's about it for the relevant stuff, good luck!

Lexapro makes you content with where you are, which is preferable to wanting to loll yourself every day. It doesn't turn you into a zombie like Zoloft though. That's a plus.
>>
>>27174718
In the least harsh way, so what? 35 is pretty young these days - people are rarely getting houses before 35, even 40. If you dwell on the age, you'll just get older and older without accomplishing anything. I'm only a few years younger than you, and I know it'll be several years before my life is "in the green" but as long as I can exercise my independence and have a good career going in the meantime, that's something I can be happy about. As for women, yeah, the ship will have sailed on most of them but you can't rule out late 20s career women. Just try to have a better career than them and you're fine (nurses are probably a good example, career women that aren't making too much money)

I don't think 35 is young at all.

At 28 I've already wasted literally over 1/3rd of my entire life. I'm basically 10+ years behind and I'd have to go back and re-do them at twice the speed to catch up to where I 'should' be for someone my age.

I have no job prospects. I have an 8 year employment gap on my CV. I have no higher education and couldn't get into a university if I wanted to. (and even if I did, I'd then be in debt with a degree that still wouldn't let me find employment)

I've lived so long like this that I don't know any other way. I've tried getting help multiple times but it never works out. I live in a town where the only thing to look forward to is die from alcohol & drug abuse before you're 40.

I need to get out but I can't without a job..and I can't get a job without getting out :|

Go to a CC. They're usually less than half the cost of a Uni. I was living at home with my parents, and my AS cost $0 although it took me three years and a summer. I literally got back something like $750-$1k each semester, and all I had was Tap and Pell grants.

Sure its only been a little over a year since I started and I've yet to move out but I'm definitely miles head of where i was when I started. and those first 2 months were horrible were nothing I did felt like it made a difference but when I actually stated having confidence in myself again I didn't care anymore of "how little changed" I was actually happy for the first time in god knows how long so I knew I was making progress.

How hard is to catch up in life after 25? I'm a NEET uni dropout who has never had a job, a girlfriend and has few prospects in life.

Thanks man I save pretty much everything already. I try to have as little expenses as possible. I would buy my own food but my dad really loves to try new recipes and I'm literally the only one in the house who eats his cooking. I mainly want to move because it feels really shameful to tell people my age I still live with my parents. Then again I have virtually no friends so this isn't really an issue.

I find that women that are a bit older and not burdened down with kids and exes are the quiter ones that I'd have overlooked before, because no makeup, quiet clothes, introverted, not like those that draw a lot of attention to themselves, and I seem to like them more as I grow older. They also haven't partied themselves to death, those that did look horrid though. For those the wall is real.
Younger girls scare me though, they're way more fucked up than the nice 27 year olds.

I've noticed a decay post-21 honestly. Happens with the men too. Most of the guys who were total dicks to me in high school are now baldies and that gives me great pride. Even better when some of the guys who were dicks to me became heroin addicts. That's the greatest revenge I can ask for.

I guess I'm not welcome on this board anymore, but you can make it. I'm not gonna give shitty babyboomer meme advice like "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" but if you are willing to invest time in turning yourself around in a way that suits you, go for it.

I could. I can even bang hookers now, I'm not in America. But really, even though no one'd know getting a hooker as a first at my age just seems lame to me.
>>
>>27179143
I lost my virginity to a hooker at age 18 that cost me around 300 euro. No regrets, and have since had 3 long term relationships, a few ONS and two fuckbuddies during my time in uni.

Really boosted my self-esteem when I lasted ~50 minutes with her, but that's probably because I was so nervous back then. She did take really good care of me though.
>>
>>27179296
Well at 18 is pretty normal, some fathers take their sons to hookers at 18. But at 27? No fuck that. Who knows though, I might change my mind when I'm drunk enough, or at 30+.

Man, I envy you for being btfo'd. I wish a girl cared about me enough to call me out on whatever crazy shit I might be pulling. A great reality check.

But anyway, I found out that regular fiber intake does care of the shits. Because I am rather skinny, and I also hate having bad shits, as it forces me to shower my buttcrack afterwise. Also fermented milk products with the bacteria in them is generally a good choice, especially when all the lactose has been turned into lactic acid. So no bad shits from lactose intolerance(no lactase enzyme).

Random pains might be also a symptom of depression. But it is always a really good idea to have regular checkups at the doctor. Especially with your weight.

Not quite ready to start posting in these threads yet but I'll be 24 in less than a month and my life has been a waking nightmare with no sign of improvement in sight. Getting drunk off of scotch ale atm and it is the only substance I know that distracts me from the misery at least for a short while. If I had absolutely no qualms with destroying my liver and living an even shorter life, I'd be doing this everyday instead of every once in awhile but the in-between is insufferable.

Solid turd is a good shit. Ideally the one that does not leave your asshole all dirty from the feces.

Bad shit is probably soft shit. And if you have like watery diarrhea all the time, then it is really bad.

But good gut bacteria takes a while to build up. And usually it is in good state with bad states being temporary. A doctor or other expert would tell you probably more.

You should be asking about that your doctor. That is what doctors are for, to treat health problems.

Just turned 26 this week.
Any tips for the 25+ life?

I have a graduate job but it feels like I'm going nowhere and am unable to improve. I have a gf and a small amount of savings. I've got zero friends, spent two years being depressed and unemployed and gained a painful medical condition when I was 23.

I'm just lost now. Zero goals, I feel like I could just walk away from it all and be happier for it.
