Was a depressed little bitch for two years. Finally decide that's enough. Quit smoking, eat healthy, read often, workout, listen to motivational videos everyday, meditate everyday and drink tea and water only, take up learning about philosophy/life and slowly but surely am beating my anxiety. Here's the thing though why do I still lack social skills? I get alot of attention from women because they think I'm "So cute" but I can't relate to things they talk about ( I don't just mean women I mean can't relate to men to and any age). What am I missing? I try to be in the present moment but even then when I try to force a conversation I just go blank.
Someone who isn't me (SWIM) is going to go to the small local health clinic to take an STD test that involves peeing in a cup. Then the sample is sent away for analysis and SWIM gets a call at a later date to inform of the results. What SWIM is worried about is, if they were to smoke cigarettes the morning of the day the urine sample was taken, would the doctor also be informed of the presence of nicotine in the urine, therefore causing SWIM's health/life insurance rates to rise?
How do I become closer with more of my fraternity brothers? It seems that the only time I see them is when we drink together which is always fun, but nobody really remembers anything that goes on.
Of course I have closer brothers but I would like to open that circle just a bit.
26 yo here, living in the city and has job that's 1hr away by bus(no car: too expensive and parking is a bitch)
parents also live around 1 hour away, but in opposite direction as work
my question is that my lease is about to end, should i move closer to work to save on commute time or stay? i kinda want to stay or even move closer to home so i can help out the fam easier but my commute is already 2-3 hours total a day
my current plan is to just stay where i am and try to change jobs so i don't have to work so far away. Anyone with similar experience care to share your thoughts? t-thx
Just got out of a 2 year relationship, and i am still very much in love with her. I don't know what I'm supposed to do at this point. It happened very suddenly. She told me she wasn't sure how she felt anymore, and didn't want to string me along for the ride. Which I am grateful for, but it doesn't hurt any less. She told me she doesn't know what the future holds for us, but doesn't want me to create false hope. I've never felt this low. I always hear people talking about being down after the end of a relationship but jesus christ. I never knew it would feel this bad. Its really and truly a fucked up feeling.
This isn't my first relationship, but its my first relationship where i know I am completely in love with her.
What's your advice guys? What have you done if you've ever felt like this.
Can a YOUNGER sibling be a legal guardian if the older sibling has a disability?
I'm 20 and my brother is 23, but he is autistic (not severely but still enough to require care). Anyway he frequently stays with my boyfriend and I so he might as well be officially under my care. I'm an office manager on a good wage, and my boyfriend is in a stable career despite being two years younger than me, so we could easily support another person living with us.
But yeah how do I go about doing this? pic unrelated
How do i stop over-thinking about all the "what-if's" in life? Every moment something happens I instantly get depressed and nervous worrying about everything that could happen, I over-think every scenario and can't stop thinking about shit until it happens and proves it was literally no biggie. This has even turned onto people as i struggle to trust what they say worrying about "what if" they are lieing to me.
I'm pretty used to periods of depression in my life going back as far as 16 y/o but I never had a Gf at the time (never had a Gf really) but I think the cause might be her. I'm usually well able to get myself back on the road through focusing on gym/hobbies/spending times with friends and myself and getting to the cause but this time I just can't kick it.
She's gotten less and less affectionate towards me, less sex, kisses and cuddles. Usually just wants to talk bit doesn't make conversation herself so I have to say and ask things. When I really want to do it's like *okay fine* and she just let's me. She was never like that before. I held back a while gave space didn't put pressure on her to do anything etc and no difference for a month. It really shits on my self esteem when she doesn't even get wet for me anymore. Doesn't mind me spending money on her though. I don't want to be a beta cuck just buying her happiness.
Dunno what to do. Is it obvious that I'm less attractive to her now? Maybe there's a new guy? Only going out 6 months so I might just cut my losses or am I being retarded.
TL;DR Gf doesn't really show affection to me anymore. Break up?
Hi, /adv/, I'm a closet lesbian and I feel a pressure to come out for a sort of funny and stupid reason. My (straight) best friend is one of those REALLY touchy feely girls, she is always hugging me, grabbing my hand, putting her hand on my leg when she's talking to me, that kind of thing. Sometimes when we watch movies she cuddles with me.
Now, I'm not interested in her in a romantic way, she isn't my type, but honestly she is a really attractive person and I admit I like it a lot. I feel really guilty about it, I feel like I'm tricking her because I doubt she would act this intimately with me if she knew I liked girls. Not that she is homophobic or anything, but she might not do this stuff if she knew I was getting off on it, you know? I also feel bad for her boyfriend, who is also a friend of mine.
Basically my question is do I come out to her or should I just try to enjoy it? Specifically straight girls, if your best friend was like me would you want to know?
