Honest advice thread

Everyone I meet tells me how smart I am and how successful I will be, but I graduated high school with a 2.6 and am currently flunking out of community college. I live this entire facade as a responsible genius and it's all a lie. I've developed all these different personalities to deal with different situations and lost track of which one is me so I never feel genuine anymore. What do I do?

It's a common case to see a "smart kid who will go far" be praised into laziness and mediocre results.

Find a job in shift system, and in your days off do everything you can to find something CONSTRUCTIVE that you are passionate about, no matter how niche or stupid it may be. A hobby. And get autistically devoted to it. It will help you re-establish your personality, which in turn will help you motivate yourself to get back to college and/or find a path that suits you.

Is it really that bad that I collect wrestling action figures at the age of 30, and admittedly even play with them? I mean I have a GF who actively finds wrestlers I want, and it helps me unwind.

Stop less it fucking more, stop abusing the herb to fill the holes in your soul. Learn to enjoy the herb, not indulge.

fucked a girl last weekend. haven't hit her up all week and i wanna see her this weekend but i dont want her to think i just want to fuck. if i text her friday afternoon, wont it feel like a bootycall or am i just gay as shit

Invest. Stocks, bonds, real estate. A diversified portfolio, aiming towards saving a fund 25 times your annual retirement expenses. If invested, you could pull out the annual expenses every year while never touching the prinicipal, leading to consistent retirement. Make sure to look up the Trinity study.

I have to start University this year but I have no idea what to do. I sick at everything at high school, I want a creative job, like an artist, how could I find what I want to do? Also wanna be rich lol

It's not bad if you're otherwise a functional person. Having a GF is a sign of being at least somewhat functional.

Bring up "types" in conversation. Say you like strong willed women. Thats why you'll never ask a girl out. You wait for them to ask you. "Like come on, its 2019" its worked for me more than once.

If you don't want to do the research into which companies are on the up or down, invest into index funds, preferably covering the S&P 500. Their return on average is 7%, despite varying wildly year by year.

7 yo relationship just ended.
i'm overworked and look like shit.

How do i get women into bed?

how can i tell if a girl is flirting for real or not?

What do you mean "you have to"?
Don't fall for the "no success without university" meme. Find a shift-system job, and on your days off try various things. Start with drawing and writing, since they are cheap.

This fucking works... and it's super sneaky cause they think they are in control. Silly girl brains.

Thank you.

Focus on finding a better job or changing your work conditions. With your spare time go to the gym and do cardio.
You'll become more attractive and available for women.

flirting is hardly ever "100% real" or "100% fake".
React in a positive way, and flirt back on the same level of engagement as the girl.

go to the bar where everyone looks like shit and women are glad to grab someone who looks like they work

or drugs

that's what I'm here for

thank you

Good luck

Being nice and flirtation can be similar, but flirtation will involve more touching from her. Also what she says, one complement is her being nice, an over abundance, and laughing at everything you say is a good sign she is flirting. Not OP btw.

so aliens puck people into my head and made me schizophrenic, all they do is tell me to kill myself and move my body around, wwyd?

Trust me (Not op) Trust me when I say you will love it more if you can go to mars from one bowl. Right now Im on a sober month, I smoke for one months, then take one month off so 6 months on 6 months off, and when April comes around Im thinking of only smoking one the weekends. So instead of buy a qtr, im going to find some G shark, and by 2 G's off him, smoke it all Saturday, and Sunday and then be clean monday-friday. Im telling you Im going to feeeeel good on weekends. I had to do this, when dabs with 97% THC doesnt not do shit to you, its time to take a step back.

Go to a doctor and ask them for help

tried every medication and went to the nut house 3 times. nothing seems to help for the fact that this is some supernatural shit happening to me.

Living with a woman I love. But she drives me crazy. Her temperment is horrible. We had a miscarriage a few months ago. I currently don't own a car and depend on her to get to work and back. We are always fighting to the point I go to bed at 5pm right after work to avoid dealing with her.

Then try writing a book about what's happening to you, in that way you'll at least get a good living.

If you are "always" fighting, it's not a good relationship. If you find her personality annoying and she drives you crazy - it's not a good relationship.

It seems that you just want to stay not-alone rather than actually being in a functioning relationship. Have an honest convo with her about what bothers you and decide if you really want to be in that relationship.

Really think the Aliens will travel thousands of light years just to make you move your body parts, and to off yourself? If anything they would use you to gather information they cant do in person since you know they are aliens. So unless you are being told to infiltrate the cia, which means being in shape physically, and mentally to do so. You are just a crazy.

>few days later

>little brother hacked her account and stole $500 from me.
>he invested it in bitcoin
>sold it bought supreme and Nike’s
>he’s a minor.

Can I press charges?

well from what I was told their home planet is heaven, they can travel faster than the speed of light and the only reason they gave me for doing this bs to me is that im the reincarnation of Judas and killed jesus in a past life.

I've tried to speak to her a million times about it. And it's always the same routine we are OK for a day then it's hell on earth again. I also financially have maintained her for the last 5 months she just started working.

I'm 500 dollars in debt with my bank because of her.

Do so

So you are in a toxic relationship. This isn't how a relationship should function.
I would advise you to end the relationship with her.

Dubs never lie, will do thank you

No you are not, you are a simple human being who will let a 45 minute youtube video make you believe Dora the Explorer is a government psy-op.

you need to seek medical help with your addiction

I have been fasting on my days off, eating >1400cal per day when I work, and I'm still not losing weight... What gives? How is my body defying the laws of thermodynamics?

Attached: Green.jpg (1600x1200, 222K)

It also depends on what you are eating and how many calories you are using. But it does sound like an actual medical condition at this point.

imma break it down for you, I lose 60lbs in 3 months.

Take your current weight, and times it by 10. so say you weigh 260 x 10 = 2,600. This numbers show you how much you can eat per day and not gain fat. To lose 1lb of fat you need to burn 3,500 calories. So at a maintain point of 2,600 if you cut 500 calories from it per day you will lose 1lb of fat by doing nothing.You can lose weight sitting on the couch. Losing weight is 90% diet, 10% exercise.

I weighed 260, I cut me diet down to 1200 to 1500 a day, right there was a loss of 1000 calories, then I went to the gym 6 days a week, and burned between 500-700 calories each gym session. so I was cutting about 3-5 lbs a week. So just because you are eating 1400 calories a day doesnt mean anything if you eat most of it back on the weekend..

Thank you for the advice!

Well, that's just it. I'm not eating on the weekends. Just drinking water to fill my empty and gurgling stomach. Then on week days I am eating >1400cal with a weight that started off at 248 and has now plateaued around 220. Maybe I just need to keep it up, track long term results instead of weighing in every morning...

Dont starve yourself. Eat high protein foods like chicken, eat through out the day.

my diet during my weight loss looked like this

Cup of cheerios, with unsweetend almonde milk, small glass of OJ.

An apple mid way to lunch

Lunch was to pieces of bread folded over with peanutbutter, and a banana

another apple mid way to dinner

Then chicken with red roasted potatoes.

Protein shake after the gym, and with breakfast

I had one cheat MEAL a week as well.

If you starve the body will break down muscle before fat, the high protein diet will help keep the muscles, and the body will attack the fat.

Go the the gym on an empty stomach or as i did just an apple. so to work out focuses on burning the fat opposed to the food consumed.

Get on a treadmill and set the incline to 10-12 and the speed to 3.5, if you see yourself hanging on to the treadmill slow the speed down to a point where you no longer need to hold on to. If it deeps lower then 2 mph, then lower the incline next.

by doing this I went from unable to go a qtr of a mile with out dying to running 3 miles in 24 minuets in 3 months. I would go on /fit/ and post but fit is dead to me.

Sorry i was typing a little to fast.
i wasnt able to run much less walk a qtr of a mile with out being our of breath.

Oh and yes. Weight yourself every day after you go to the bathroom in the morning, dont read into what it says though water weight can make you gain like 7 pounds. You may be dealing with water weight opposed to a plateau. Do ONE official weigh in a week, but i still weighed my self daily anyway.

Thank you! I'll keep up the diet, keeping all of this in mind, and hopefully get down to my 180 target! :)

Good luck, last little bit of advice ill throw at you before i go to the gym myself. DO NOT GO UNDER 1,200 calories a day. I dont care if you if you spread it out, or eat it all at once, but dont go under 1200 calories. 1500 would be better for a male, but i was fine at 1200 calories. If you do lurk on fit ive been meaning to go back and revamp the Motivation threads Ive been told are dead. So give /fit/ a look in an hour or so. Im back on the weight loss game myself. I had an injury that put me on the shelf, and I gained good portion of the weight back. WE WILL ALL MAKE IT Yea ForumsRO

I'm having a hard time finding a cure to being lonely. I spent a great deal of my life being socially accepted and after moving out of my home town I'm really lost and don't know how I did it before. Currently going to community-college, 24 years old, really only find hookups as I'm probably a 6/10 at best. Good looking, just dreadfully skinny and not 6 foot so finding a woman with my shallow mindset is becoming difficult. Whenever I take the leap I get disappointed or disappoint myself when it comes to woman.

Damn it boy im trying to go to the gym.... Alright real quick, your say lonely. Do you mean no friends or no girlfriend/boyfriend? (not OP think he ded)

put yourself in a host situation. Invite some distant friends with thier SO or their friends and mak sure they are having fun at your place.

People see competent hosts as very attractive

I'm here, there was no point in intruding on that weight loss advice

10/4 OP got you then. Thanks for letting me know my silly hobby at 30 isnt all that bad. Have a great day Yea Forumsro

Alright, this is actually my first time I write on Yea Forums, so here we are... (also sorry for bad english, I suck at explaining things)

I'm a 22 yo guy with some sort of social life, but very introverted and shy as hell. Long story short, I haven't been talking with a girl since I was 13 yo because in my highschool like 95% of the people there were male, plus I lived in a shitty ass city where all the girls were thots so I totally avoided them. Some months after starting my first year in college, a girl I was following on a website started talking to me. At first I was very nervous because I wasnt used to talk with girls, but then we started chatting each others, until we finally managed to meet irl. I really love her and I wanted to say that, but since Luck hates me, I was aware of the fact she have a boyfriend since she was 15 fucking years old... Anyway one day I said "Fuck this, now or never": I said that I like her, but even if she is already taken she understood the situation and accepted that, and despite all this made me really happy...
Now almost 2 years have passed, she is still with her bf and we are very good friends, but the problem is that I seriously don't how for how much I can go ahead with this. I tried talking with a couple other girls that I know that were a good compromise, but all ended up by rejecting me or me giving up on them because I wasn't enough sure. She is 99.9% the one and I'm terribly sure about that, but I don't want to destroy her current relationship tho because this would totally be a dick move... We have a very strong bond, but still, I'm terribly afraid to lose her forever... What should I do at this point??

How do I stop being ignored?

you need to elaborate on that

How to cope with constant stress/anxiety?

The vast majority of my life from about 2nd grade to my adulthood I have been ignored whwnever I try to talk to people, send emails, phone calls, sending in applications, resumes, almost any kind of contact. How do you go about not getting ignored all the time?

it's a bad situation with only two options I'm afraid

You have to be open with her again about how you want to be more than friends. She will either drop her bf and be with you, or reject you and cut you off, which will leave you with a clear head, not deluded with "what if". If you're staying a friend to a girl you want to be with, you're cucking yourself.

find the cause and think why is it causing you stress. For example - "job", "because I'm afraid that I'm going to get fired".

After that you can either try to vanquish the cause of stress, or change your environment if it's beyond your power to get rid of the cause.

I find that very hard to belive that when you're talking to people they just say absolutely nothing in return. Isn't it the case that they just don't want to hold a conversation/contact with you? If so - it may be because you're not confident enough. Find a social hobby, something that you are enjoying that also involves one or more other people. That will help you develop more robust personality, connections and will act as a good conversation topic for future.
as for applications - that's just how that work. Joobseeking is one of the most stressfull and depressing thing you'll do if you're an average person

Not the OP but hope can help. Try with some relaxing teas, valerian pills or autogenic training, it somehow worked with me. Avoid strong medicals at all costs!

Oh well then, if it's gonna be it I really hope I will have the occasion and luck to strike the first option without making some mess. Or at least hoping to survive the mental breakdown...

I can't stop posting to faggots on the internet.

drugs

but don't be pathetic and go "ok so it's either him or me, I've always loved you blablabla"

Just tell her that you want to be more than friends, and you want her to think this through. And if she says no - leave

>i am a GOD forced to live with ningens
>i cannot go around it and i cannot leave
what i do?

Wth of course I won't go that way. I mean... That would be the "dick move" I was talkin about.
Anyway, thanks for the hints m8

you are not a god if you are forced to do anything

Nah she aint the ONE, she may be in a large group of girls you consider the ONE. There are 7.5 billions people on the planet, more then half are female. To think is exclusively to ONE is bs, there are plenty of women who will fit you criteria of the ONE, and some will exceed it as well. So if you want to limit yourself to ONE chick out of 3.5 Billion then alright have a rough life. You live in a time you no longer need to go to a bar to pick up a woman, just dont use sex apps to find them, im sure some have successful stories with tinder, but at the end of the day they got lucky trying to find a hook up, who became a wife.

This is an awesome quote tbh.

About a year ago my gf of six years went nuts(off her meds cold turkey) and left, making sure to destroy my relationship with my friends as she did.(so I wouldn't date them instead) I mean I was considering one girl but really I just want my friends back. When I tried to reach out to one on FB they blocked me. There's still a few more I'm connected with but don't want to reach out because I may be blocked from them as well.

...

One of two things.
One they only hung out with you because of her, and they are friends with HER not you
or Two they will in time see their mistakes and come back to you and be like "Sorry user we couldnt see past her bs" crazy people are good a manipulating people sometimes, (Texfag here also) Plus you will see in 10 years time that most if not all of these people will just be random people you have on what ever the new FB will be then, and will hardly talk. So dont sweat it. The kid with the tongue out stay away from he will become a shit head.

ok my advice to you - be less of a weeb

reach out to them in person and explain the situation. And if all of them refuse to listen - they were not really your friends to begin with. If she went off her meds cold turkey, that means she is really unstable, and ill people like that can do a lot of damage. You have to be aware that she was spreading lies about you. Be prepared to explain the whole situation to your friends IN PERSON

I tend to overthink most social interactions and beat myself up over every little mistake I make, which adds to the already heavy anxiety I have, in addition to the stress from work. At certain points I get so frustrated with myself that I actually get urges or get the image of harming myself in my head (small things like scratching at my hands or temple, in severe cases maybe make a small cut). Depression isn't as big a problem for me anymore, I managed to find a reason to live a while ago and I have no desire to off myself. I don't have my fianceè with me at the moment and probably won't for at least a couple months, due to my job and current situation, which is pretty shit since being around her makes me feel much calmer.
Tried just being positive and looking for the bright side of things but it's hard to do, again, due to the stressful nature of my job and breathing techniques never really helped me.

Any suggestions on how to fix my mental state, calm down, or maybe help with the social anxiety I get?

depression doesn't go away because you've found a reason to live. Go to the doctor and try therapy, it's my honest advice. That will help you with beating yourself up over small problems.

Besides that remember that people are a lot more insecure than they are making it obvious. They are thinking about how THEY fucked up, they don't really think about your fuck-ups. Social interactions are 90% filler, no need to think about them too much.

Go to a doctor and get put on something called Gabapitin (sp?) my gf uses it for back pain, but it also meant to help with Anxiety. You will feel you head trying to overthink, but nothing formulates. Im a nervous wreck at job interviews, and I take a couple gabs before going, and while not 100% of the nerves go away, Im able to function much better.

You can also make yourself as big as possible. Like put your hands on your hips, puff out your chest and hold that pose for like 2 minuets, it will greatly improve you self out look. (Not OP)

I have cronic diseases, am poor, have no friends.
How do I get a gf?

be an interesting person. Read a lot, know stuff. Be a pleasant person to be around

I don't know if I'd be able to go to the doctor and do therapy without them notifying my supereriors. Then I'd probably end up on watch or out of a job. I'll try to keep that in mind though. Maybe when my contracts up I'll be able to go.
I understand that usually people are too focused on themselves to notice your fuck ups but I can't but feel embarrassed and frustrated with myself when I say something that I think is dumb in retrospect or handled awkwardly.

Do I need a prescription? I'm not really able to go to my care provider without them notifying my superiors and me getting out on watch or discharged.
That last parts kind of silly (no offense), my self image is probably a large factor in all this but I'm not sure something like that will help.

I am a molecular biologist, is that interesting?
I do not like reading for enjoyment, just to get information.
People avoid me because of my disabilities from my chronic diseases.

What do?

Yes you do, so check what you can, and cant take. And as silly as it sounds its backed by Science. Try it before you deny it

I'll look into it. I suppose it can't hurt to try.

Can you tell an interesting story about it? Interesting to the person not in the field. So what kind of disabilities are we talking about?

do doctors notify your employer about meds you're taking and other therapy you're undergoing? Where the hell do you live? Don't you have some doctor-patient confidentiality?

It's natural to think about these things. Just do try to remember that minor fuck-ups are really not worth the energy. It's an equivalent of going to the doctor with 36.7* temperature. (celcius)

Interesting story: Once in the morning in the laboratory I approached a collegue from behind and sort of asked him whisperingly if he had a "Ständer" (german for boner and laboratory stand).
Needless to say the female collegue in our vicinity almost shat herself from laughing.

I think I can tell funny stories.

disability: mostly physical, my muscles are being destroyed by some form of rheumatism, so I can barely move and am in pain. Also severe depression and severel other things.

so you've made someone laugh with little effort.
So maybe if for the time being you have no luck outside of work - try making friends at your workplace?

I am currently unemployed, hence poor

I live in America. I'm in the military, was told that if you tell the doctors about depression, suicide, or self harm they almost always report that shit and get you out.
My buddy was in for a while and went to get medication for his depression and PTSD and said he was feeling suicidal, he got chaptered out in about 1½-2 months
Yeah. I've been trying harder and harder to let smaller things go, it's just if I don't reinforce that it's minor and I shouldn't worry and it starts to fester in my mind, I can't really help it

I dont have meaningfull goals

I broke up with my ex-gf since she was going to an exechange program. Now the thot is coming back earlier than expected and (on her words) intends to date my best friend. I cleary still have feelings for her but and I can't fucking move on, while she has long forgotten me. I've been depresed for the last month or so by having to deal with a shitton of other stuff e.g mom cheating on dad, dad almost getting himself killed. I haven't left home, haven't talked to any friends, has they always take my former best friend side, have been puking every night because depressed and then drinking myself to sleep whenever I can.

wat do?

How do I stop hating myself? Hating the way I look, the way I speak and my voice, the way I act, etc.?

I don't know why but I've watched a rekt thread and then i got depressed, and every time that I do it, i say to myself don't watch it again but for some reason, I watch it again. What is wrong?

so what lab are we talking about?

oh shit, sorry, I had no idea it works like that, but I understand it better now.

Well then maybe go see a therapist, meaning "not a doctor" first? Like a psychologist rather than psychiatrist? Those that are not doctors, so can't report anything.

You're doing right by trying to let them go. It's a good habit to have - keep doing that, and try to visit the person i've mentioned

the lab I preformed my master thesis at

how old are you?

Try to understand that your relationship with her was based on flawed basis. You were in it long term, she was in for a quick pipe cleaning.
I understand it hurts, but try to acknowledge that you are expecting commitment from someone who is not interested in it. If you forced her to be in a relationship - she would definetly cheat.

As to other shit - do try to talk with other friends, even if only by playing some online games with them. You need to not allow yourself to completely wall yourself in

Will do
Might try to go to a therapist off-post
Thanks for the advice

is there something about yourself that you don't hate?
oh I see, so what are you "doing" right now?

no problem, good luck

19fag
I wouldn't like to force her to be with me, and I would prefer to see her happy even with someone else, but it's just been sorta hard to cope with overall

loneliness will only make things harder. You have to try to focus on something and someone else, not necessarily romantically. So you can stay sane.

that's some advice user. I'll see about that. thanks

>oh I see, so what are you "doing" right now?
right now I am sitting in my underwear at my pc lurking on Yea Forums

in the general consensus I am disabled and at an rehabilitation program as part of my medical recovery program.

After that probably job hunting again.

are there any support groups for people with disabilities in your area?
You could make friends there

I came here to say this too. Real estate has been paying my bills for years now, it's a great way to go.

unfortunately, no

also I am poor right now, living of the state

Me neither. It's super-important to develop some, but it's such a fucking pain, eh?

Alright then, it is a bad situation but not without options.

You can join an online support group. They provide a reasonable alternative, and you can meet some really interesting people there. Maybe some of them are in a similar situation as you are.

I do not like online engagement, I prefere real life

Just moved to a new country in pursue of better work opportunities. How can I get a job fast? I've been applying for over a year and I can't seem to get any positive replies or even interviews, even if I'm more than qualified for the requirements they ask.

Well then I can't offer you any more advice, I'm sorry

it may be because you're overqualified. Try going to employment agency. It's also a very risky move to move to a new country without a job offer at hand.

Try Amazon or other huge chains, they are always hiring for low-level positions if you're desperate for work

you might have to make concessions until you get there

Thanks man, I will try that. I moved because I couldn't stay where I was before and I had been wanting to move for a few years now. And looking for jobs from back home was no use, so I decided to move.

>establishing a workforce-provider service
sounds like work.... esp with all the temp agencies and their exclusive contracts.

Yes, you do need to work first in order to be able to just passively earn money. There is no miracle solution.
Also - temp agencies are not what I meant. I meant... sometimes when you'll have a huge hotel chain or a factory, they'll use services of a company that can get them 50-100 employees, often from abroad instead of hiring temps or single employees.

don't go to uni unless you are already connected or you are good at networking.... then choose a degree that is in demand

if you wanna be an artist pirate one of the 3d modeling tools/sculpting/PS suite w/e you wanna use and start putting hours into it.... after 1k hours you should be starting to get paid for your work

thanks for the advice anyways, didn't really expect something else

don't you become liable for all the shitheads you are providing? i'm intrigued, but overall it doesn't seem like any less risky/less hustle than the usual 'tart a business' response

Past haunts me, internal dialogues present

You're basically getting paid a set fee when they work more than a set number of days. They are signing a contract with the employer, you are just a middle man. You are responsible for them getting to a job, but after that they are employer's problem.

It's less hustle because you're only working until you'll get a client base, after that you're making money passively

not enough details

What else do you need??

what past, what dialogues

Near past, cringing on everything I did in last ~3days.
Dialogues - like argumenting with yourself in second person

sounds like a typical case of clinical depression. I would recommend, just as I did - going to see a psychiatrist and getting yourself some meds. They help you get out of this miserable state

Okay everyone, I'm gonna go now. It's getting late, and I have to work tomorrow. Good luck everyone, I hope I help someone at least to some extent.
