Get it off your chest.
friendless feels
the title says it all.
i ended up scrolling through the account of someone a few years younger than me and saw posts like pic related…just people (kids i guess) having fun with their friends and it made me sad because i never got to have that ):

Dealing with aging
I'm in my late 20s and now I miss being younger and more naive and feel like I lost my opportunity to have cute stereotypically female experiences. I mingle with much younger people sometimes due to shared hobbies (weeb stuff) and I realize that I feel way too old for it (and them). It makes me feel bitter about missing out on all the fun stuff because I feel like I wasted my entire youth being depressed and anxious. I really dread becoming even older.
share a happy childhood memory
go~~
Iwn have a qt white bf
It's pretty much all i want in life, that and to have his kids but it probably won't happen for me.
Old flames
Do you have any old flames? Someone you were going to get with but didn't? Someone you didn't realize was an option until it was too late?
Tell your stories.
How do you get past emotional trauma /feels/? Ive been dealing with it for almost a year now. Its ruined all my friendships for me and I fall asleep crying everyday. I just wish I had a friend
Bipolar & Schizophrenic Feels
Can we have a thread for people who suffer from either of these illnesses? I made a thread including both since the symptoms often overlap.
What meds are you on? Are you stable or still struggling? How do your family/partner/friends react to your symptoms? What advice do you have to give to newly diagnosed or struggling patients?
Also general vents and greentexts are appreciated. It’s easy to feel alone when struggling with a severe mental illness so it’s nice to hear stories you can relate to.
*And please don’t turn this into a thread complaining about your mom, ex-partner, or anyone in your life with these illnesses who “wronged” or abused you when you don’t have the illness yourself. There are other threads for relationship and family venting. Let this be a support thread instead of a hate thread.
the "sub chad"
Does he exist? Is it worth hoping that i'll find it one day or is it just a myth. Not just sexually submissive obviously, but submissive in general. If he does exist, is he a decent person and not just a womanhater who has a secret femdom fetish? Is it possible to find a nice attractive boy like this?
Why am I so attracted to men when they display some desire to be beaten sexually? I don't have any interest in hurting anyone and I think it would probably be very offputting, but when a guy, even one I'm not attracted to generally like pics related expresses that they're a masochist they suddenly become hot to me. What's wrong with me? Do I have some kind of problem?

IT’S FUCKING OVER HELP
I met a perfect boy at uni. At first I just noticed him because he is the absolute most handsome guy I’ve ever seen. Call me superficial but that alone made me develop a crush. I sort of tried to forget about him since I didn’t think it would go anywhere and tried to tell myself that he probably was a jerk anyway.
However, I was grouped with him and a few other girls for some group assignment, and he turned out to be the nicest person I’ve ever met. He’s ridiculously funny, interesting, cultured, creative (turns out he’s actually semi-famous in multiple fields), exciting, smart, he just has literally everything going for him. I’m not the most beautiful girl ever but I take care of myself (I’m skinny, have very well maintained natural blonde hair, blue eyes etc.). Acne has slways been a problem but after meeting this guy my face was finally clearing up. I suggested that everyone in the group exchanged numbers and everyone obliged.
Then the guy started texting (actually whatsapp which is the norm in my country but whatever) me. Mostly school stuff but also some personal things. He’d always reply to me right away, never left me on read, and was always willing to help and when I helped him he was super grateful and cute about it. I’ve never had text contact as good as this. He’d always say hi to me when we ran into each other, and in class he’d letvme sit with him. If he was talking to other people he’d always try to make me a part of the conversation too.
It got even better when I found out he was basically pure (yes meme af I know, you know what I mean). He was very serious about hygiene (he talked about how he disliked visiting friends who didn’t clean their rooms properly), wasn’t active on FB, IG or dating apps, isn’t part of a frat, and disliked weed (he does drink though but so do I so ehrm yeah). He also never mentioned a gf or anything like that.
The thing is, despite growingsomewhat close he never asked me out or anything and I was afraid to ask him out because I’m not sure if I’m worthy of him and came to the conclusion that he might be gay or something and I didn’t want to embarrass him. He was literally too perfect to not have a gf.
Then it all went wrong.
Last night I went out for drinks with a few uni friends and afterwards walked back to the train station (I don’t live in my uni’s city, I live with my parents in my hometown (which is completely normal in my country, the boy does the same thing as do most students)). During my walk I passed my uni’s most notorious sorority house (again, we don’t have campusses here so sorority houses are just somewhere in the city) which is only open to really, really rich girls. I have classes with a few of them and they’re mostly quite friendly, but some of them really look down on me for not being one of them. There’s one in particular who’s the only person in my year whom I dislike because she treats anyone who isn’t a rich skinny white girl like shit (I’m a skinny white girl but my parents aren’t multi millionaires and I don’t play the sorority social game).
Then I heard the voice of the boy. I looked around and saw him standing a little further down the street. The girl I hate was with him. Then she kissed him. And they just kept going.
I stood there for like five minutes. I finally decided to take a different route and ended up missing my train and had to wait 30 minutes for another one.
When I got home I started crying and I could barely sleep and I’m still crying now. I’m sorry if none of this makes sense because I’m so fucking mad and upset. The boy and the girl don’t even talk to each other in class. She’s also really tall (180cm+), don’t guys hate tall girls and only like short girls? I want to scream but I don’t want my parents to hear.
I just had to post this, I’m sorry if it’s too bloggy. Do any of you have experience with the one you love ending up with someone you hate? Maybe found out that someone you thought could be a potential bf actually had a gf?
I’m never going to find anyone like this ever again. And now he’s off limits and tainted anyway.

Pressure to excel but I want to do something else
Hi all, posting here rather than on a forum for anonymity.
For context, I'm currently a college senior at a top university in my country in Asia. Not gonna reveal too many details, but basically it's a school full of people that are wealthy, smart, or both.
There are lots of things happening in my life (young adulthood and graduation are transition periods after all) and for the most part I'm happy with where I currently am.
I am content with being average. although I am fine with being average, and I am currently contemplating to disinherit myself to become a monastic, I don't think my family or the people I'm surrounded would appreciate it.
I feel pressured to excel, and it does not even have to be an explicit, verbal thing. Because of my background (above), it is very easy to feel insecure when you're acquaintances with the children of businessmen, politicians, scholars, celebrities, artists, athletes, musicians, etc. It is easy to brush away insecurities regarding famous people, brushing off their beauty or glamour as 'photoshopped' and 'curated.' But I find it not so easy at all, in my case. When you go to class with actual models, national athletes, and teenagers that have start-up companies… even some of our country's presidents are alumni of our uni. It's frankly a surreal experience.
What makes it even more surreal is that seeing these people as acquaintances just going about their day, their day-to-day lives aren't that far of a stretch to the ones filtered and manicured in a social media profile. Another thing is that many of them are unaware of their privilege. While there are always those that are jerks about it, a lot of them are just so… "humble," or at the least, "innocent" about it? Real conversations I've had with my classmates on their experiences such as: 'oh i lived in 5 different countries growing up because my dad's a government official,' or 'yeah I placed on a national scholastic competition when I was younger. it was ok' or 'i do practice every week because i compete for the national team' etc. to name a few.
The thing is, they're so unassuming and nonchalant over their achievements and privilege you can't even hate them for it. The humility might just make one admire them even more.
I think I have some qualities that aren't bad at all, but I still can't help feeling inadequate by comparison to my (very skewed) social circle. I do not want to bring my friends down, but the social pressure makes me feel like I am wrong for not wanting 'to excel.' I just really want a slow, reclusive, minimalist life in a rural village where I can sleep on a hammock and tend to my chickens and my garden. Living a monastic/hermitic lifestyle pretty much cuts one out from high-wealth career options, not to mention marriage.
Still very grateful for many things, but at the same time I feel very disoriented since after all, graduating is a crossroads in one's life.
Similar experiences and advice welcome :)
Sexuality
Is it normal to start having sexual feelings about a different sex than I have previously liked at a late teen age? I have way passed puberty, but some things are…stirring in me about women. Is this normal to have? Thanks anons.

Am I the only fucking person that doesn't have a "shitty ex bf"
Like seriously what the fuck, I was talking to my friends the other day and all four of them had stories about emotionally or physically abusive boyfriends that they had stayed with for long amounts of time, I then started looking online and asking about and apparently this is really common.
I had no Idea this was a major thing outside of films and tv, no wonder guys talk about how "nice guys finish last" etc; they're all dealing with or getting rejected by girls with trauma from getting beaten up and cheated on.
Any femcels here
>Whats stopping you from not being a femcel
For me its not like there aren't any guys that are into me it's just that its hard for me to connect socially with people.
About 3 years ago in my last year of high school I fell out with one of my best friends and I really regret it now. Should I bother apologizing or is it too late?
Anyone have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
I've been feeling really really out of the ordinary. I'm usually a pretty positive person, at least I can always think of something to do if I'm bored or if someone needs a laugh.
Lately, though, I've not wanted to do anything. I don't want to go get coffee and write. I don't want to exercise. I do want to sleep a lot. It's almost as though I can't control it. I just need like 3-4 extra hours of sleep and i still don't really feel good, but I can function. I can't seem to focus. I hate everyone, including myself. I've been wishing i could just cease to exist. Sometimes i feel like crying, but I can't.
It's really confusing, because this isn't at all how I normally am. I made an appointment with my doctor, but wanted to get other's thoughts.
Advice General
In this thread we ask (or give) for advices to or from other miners
Don't be unnecessarily rude to each other
To suicide or not to suicide?
I am obese (over 100 kilograms), ugly, unhygienic, mentally ill (untreated even though I went to the psychologist but I will tell you later), unpleasant to be around with (even my so called online friends talked shit about me behind my back - i cut off contact with them though), and incredibly naive and dumb.
So, to fix all these problems I went to the psychologist for YEARS. But they didn‘t help me, or barely did. Or it didn‘t help me because I am incurable. I am the type of bitch to not shower for weeks and be okay with it, because I don‘t care honestly. Today i ate like shit, my mom didn‘t cook for me and I am not allowed to cook for myself so I warmed up some canned meat (no bread or anything just the meat) and even though it tasted like literal shit, I still ate it because I was hungry and literally don‘t give a shit about the taste of my food. I am fat because I eat a lot of it, but the taste of the food I eat is literal garbage and has been garbage for some time (4 years). I recently went to school for adults to redo high school since I am too stupid to not have been able to graduate high school MANY years ago, literally. My mom paid me a lot so I could go to university, but I failed all of the times in the past 4-5 years. I know I should go to trading school since that is where retards like me go but community college level 2 didn‘t accept me back when I was 16 and I didn‘t want to go to community college in my town because I was heavily bullied in my first year. (Yes i did the lowest level of community college/trading school).
Obviously, I didn‘t have ANY friends EVER in my life. Nor did I ever had some fun, except going to mc donalds. Yes these are the exciting things I do in my life. I never went to starbucks either, even though i really want to. But the only food thingies where I go to are ghetto shit like mc donalds and shit. I wanted to go to some concerts on my own but my mom told me it‘d be better if I‘d lose weight, make some friends and graduate my adult high school, which I will never do anyways. So I won’t ever have fun in my life. I got in my first semester only Fs. And I missed an important math exam today which I was supposed to redo. I only do this year three subjects, maths, chemistry and biology. And next year i was supposed to get the rest of my diploma. I wanted to complain about my mom since she didn’t want to help me today with my homework, but honestly looking back I don’t have the right to complain. I was a pretty shitty daughter. I say was because I really want to end things. Anyways this fat whore wanted to die ever since she was 8 years old and literally has no reason to continue to live. I fail at everything, probably have borderline personality disorder/some other kind of evil personality disorder because I lie a lot since i‘m embarassed by my past. Except now of course, now I am telling the truth since I‘m anonymous anyways. Anyways the point is…I don‘t want to live and if you‘re reading this/making fun of me now give me one reason why I deserve to live, because honestly I don‘t. I feel like I am a burden to society and if I don‘t end myself, I feel I‘ll probably do an Elliot Rodger. I am serious, I feel like I can snap any time. The world has not been kind to me but it isn‘t to anyone, so why do I have the right to fail so much at everything?
>inb4 i‘m not trying my best
I literally went to the hospital to volunteer, but they said fuck off after ONE day just because my social skills aren‘t the best. But i wanted to improve them by volunteering.

What are really beautiful men like? Do you know any? Doesn’t have to be a bf or lover, can also be your friend, colleague, classmate, neighbor, brother, dad, whatever.
Is it true they’re all dumb and rude?
Boyfriend's Voice
My boyfriend normally has a clear, tenor voice, but when he's talking to strange girls his voice drops like an octave and turns to a deep baritone. I think this deep voice is incredibly sexy, but it kind of bothers me that he never uses it when he's talking to me, except when he just woke up. I talked to him about it and he says he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Should I be worried?

I randomly got a call for a job that I didn't apply for, but the job offer is my passion (cake decorating)! I went to the interview yesterday, and was hired immediately. The chef is a cool druggy gamer guy as are the other dudes in the kitchen, so now I'm gonna make a bunch of awesome cool nerdy friends! He really liked the cake I brought him and the work I did. The pay is more than I was expecting.
The only thing that makes me nervous is that he also wants me to work the line, which I've never done, but the place is classy so we're putting out beautiful food that I'm really proud of and even messing with molecular gastronomy, which I've wanted to get into for a very long time! I'm so excited to do my best.

RE: EX CONTACTED ME, HELP= Resolved.
I told him goodbye.
I told him that his dependency was stopping him from moving on from me,that continuing any contact, anything at all would cause nothing but the same results, that you cannot piece back together something one (myself. and him soon enough.) has moved on from, even if you are a new person instead of the past, he still switches and moves to many and others, it would be and is unhealthy, and must end, with anything related to it whatsoever, and in general.
he said goodbye to sleep, I told him to regulate his sleeping schedule, to sleep well.
and goodbye.
I feel ethereal, this was a good choice.
I felt the trauma in the moment,i ended my first love, finally. My fingertips shaking over the enter button, it was 11:59 am, I did it yesterday. I gave him a final paragraph, telling him to find himself ,love himself,and to learn how to have control over himself, and that I hope he can make himself as happy as he says I have ever made him.
it was 11:59AM, i felt regret before clicking the enter button,I shriveled over it. I inhaled, felt my heartbeat,and exhaled, it was done.I sent it, I unfriended him.
Once I clicked it, I felt bliss.
I am in bliss.
I am bliss.
>anon has achieved peace in acceptance of things in her life, and a final acceptance on a note in her past, she put the note in the closed chapters in her past, and she continues on wards, with herself. Sometimes, when anon is stressed, while it may seem heated and full of confusion with her confliction of feelings, or debates, or even a sting of bad feelings/gut feelings in the moment, peace will arise soon, in any situation and anything whatsoever. Anon is happy with her choices, and now she lives in peace.
I've made peace and I've moved on. The past is but closed chapters in my past, and I am onto many new chapters in my life. I am happy.
I am a strong, loving, lovely, smart, beautiful woman, and I love myself.
I have control in my life, and over myself.
I am happy, and so is my life. I am happy.
I am happy.
I am bliss.
and the world is bliss too.
I am happy.
That was my update on that, and goodbye.

Paranoid Boyfriend
>Start dating this guy, he's really attractive and loves me
>He is also a national socialist, I am fine with this
>He joins a political movement in his country doing activism, I am also fine with this
>Starts to get paranoid, thinks people are monitoring our calls and texts, tells me to start using encrypted email with him
>Starts telling me he's worried for my safety and that the secret police in his country are gonna detain me and everyone he loves because of his activism
>Starts corresponding with political criminals
>In a call one day hear sounds, ask what they are
>He tells me he's checking for wire taps
>Occasionally he calls me up frantically warning me to "get out of the country as soon as possible"
Does anyone else have this problem? Any advice? I don't want to dump him because I love him but I wish he wouldn't get so paranoid and weird. I am worried about the people he is hanging with tbh he says he can't not do activism or he'll hate himself.
Do men even have feelings?
I've never met a man that had a shred of empathy, even when they are "depressed" it's all about ohhhh no I will never have this 10/10 asian stacy suck my penis or waaaaaah women find men who are taller more attractive, do they care about love or friendship or anything deeper than sex and social status.
non-femcel anons please answer this question.
Why are they like this?
>meet a cute guy, we get on well and he’s funny and kindhearted
>he seems like he’s interested, we start flirting at a party and things are looking promising
>next time we’re at a party I’m going at it, (“let’s share a seat”, lots of hugging eye contact etc)
>this time somethings wrong, he looks all conflicted and uncomfortable
>turns out one of his friends, who is in my lectures, likes me and he has promised not to “get in his way”
I never expressed any interest in that guy and made it clear to him but now it’s ruined forever just for some bullshit territorial boy friendship thing.
>reply to someone here who posts something I think is interesting and is looking for a conversation
>she never responds
Why does this keep happening?
How do you get to know a boy more when you're interested in them bit still just barely friends with them?
This is a bit of a sequel to a thread I previously made, asking whether or not a guy calling me a gem/sweetheart meant he was interested in me.
>>15115
I sent him a follow request on Instagram, he accepted it and followed me back, he seemed happy to talk to me. He responds to all of my story posts with responses enabled but it's just with one word that's a nickname for me.
I convinced myself he hated me and I should leave him alone after I messaged him saying I hoped he had a good day and instead of responding he just liked the message but after he did the one word thing again today I snapped out of it.
He seems like my kind of guy - Not a chad, nice to me, and has made a few jokes about wanting to die. I would have trouble with someone who was 100% normie emotionally that I couldn't relate with.
So.. How do I approach this? Should I just try sending him a meme once or twice? I'm very shy and awkward so a basic thing like messaging him to ask how his day went isn't my best option.
Ex confessed his love to me after a few months, ladies I need HELP.
I’ve had an ex in the past, we dated for a year and broke up to due to both of us being abusive to eachother, and abused, as well as a lot of past drama involved online.
It was long distance and it still is.
Recently, after 4 months he messaged my friend asking if everyone’s ok, and that if anyone wants to talk to him to make amends, he’s there.
My friend said
>”oh anon dosent hate you at all by the way”
In which I don’t, and he responded saying that’s good and all..
I wanted to make amends so I told him to add me back on social media, we talked things out and both agreed we were abusive and the abusers to eachother in the past, and recently he left a bunch of friends over stuff as well (as an add on.)
I’ve changed, I’m not the girl I was in my past, I’m a strong, beautiful, intelligent woman.
We’ve both changed overtime, yes,
We agreed to call after he said he was really happy talking to me again, and that he missed me and such. Once in call, I asked him as of why he’s feeling the things he does.
I asked him.
“Do you just feel the same way as you did before minus all the negativity we faced?”
And he agreed,
I asked him to clarify and well, he still loves me and wishes to have that,
I told him I’d give it a week, a week to introduce ourselves as new people, since well, we are new people.
I told him I’m not getting into a relationship, that we’d talk for a week, and continue on for weeks, and see how it goes there.
Ladies, I don’t know what to do.
Some of my friends dislike him, some are neutral.
I told him to clarify his thoughts so he’s not just shoving words down his throat, and that it’s him talking, not what I believed. (Basically telling him that what I said is what I think he feels, and that he needs to explain for himself since he has a hard time explaining things on his own.)
What do I do here? Cut him off? See how it goes? We’d be talking for a week as if we’ve never met, to reintroduce, and get to know eachother all over again, since well, we are new people.
He said he loves me, and he fell asleep in call.
He said my voice makes him feel calm, and everything of the sort.
That I make him happy, that he’s been extremely dead these past 4 months, and he hasn’t felt real happiness ever since he’s spoken to me, and now.
I told him he needs to love himself before he can love another, and he agrees, as I think he does, I also believe he’s extremely dependent which I gave him advice on.
We had a lot of drama and such in the past,
I don’t regret anything that happened, I wouldn’t be the person I am now.
But ladies.. what do you guys think I should do? Is this a bad sign? Is this a possibility? I don’t know if my gut is telling me it’s right or wrong, but I feel worried either sides of our friends can’t know, so we haven’t told them that we are talking. Though, I do have anxiety right now by all of it.
So yeah.. ladies, what’s your thoughts?
I just need more words on it that aren’t my own.
I do believe we’ve changed though, that I’ve changed as a person completely, hell yes. And I think he’s changed too in a way, somewhat, I’m not sure. Hence why I said to give it a week of reintroductions, as we are new people, etc.
So what do, ladies?

Height in guys
I recently got to know an 8/10 guy. He's really cute, but he's only like 5'6 and im 5'8. Idk how to feel about this. He's hot but it might be weird?
What do you think of height in guys?
Would you date someone 1 or 2 inches shorter than you? If not, what if he's an 8-9/10?

Torn between two worlds
So I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and I don’t know what to do so I’m coming here to ask you guys. I’m in highschool and last year I transferred to another school for an arts program I auditioned for. The school is across town from me and sort of the rival school of my old highschool. I wasn’t in the right mindset when I auditioned and I was just looking for a fresh start away from all the “fake people” I had been with since kindergarten. I thought that maybe at this new school I could get a new start new reputation and new friends. I also had two friends I already knew that were going to transfer to this school too. I’m three months into this new school and I realized that the friends that made me autition for this school with them are actually fake friends. They knew nobody at this school just like me yet they hurt me and embarrass me infront of all of the people I’m trying to become friends with just so that they can be friends with them. I have exactly zero friends now and I feel so much social anxiety because I feel invisible at this school. I still talk to some of My friends from my old highschool but I never hangout with them because our schools have different schedules. I see their stories and social media of them having stupid fun like when we were in elementary school together and I miss it so much. I miss them so much. I really want to transfer back to that school next year but I feel like nobody will remember me and I’ll be in the same position I am now. Also it will mess with my corses because I am currently taking a specialized course for preforming arts. So should I stay at this school and suck it up or switch schools again?
sexual trauma/rape
I was raped back in 2010 when I was 13 by a assistant teacher.
Stayed back to help him since it was his last day at the school till next year,got late,offered to drive me home and yeah raped me.
I just wanted to get that out but it still feels like it's weighing me down
Has anyone on here whose been assaulted told anyone?
How was their reaction?
Dreams and wishes thread
Wanted to make a thread for us to write about stuff that we want. Could be:
- Attainable dreams
- Unrealistic dreams
- Stuff that you want for the long run, like a type of career, housing and moving plans, etc
- Stuff that you really just want right now, like a holiday, a cute set of clothings, food
- An imaginary setting in your head that you want and want to talk about, being it realistic or not, like imagine a life you wish you would have
And all the stuff in between, I guess.
Is there an unspoken rule about not sending multiple messages in a row without a response? I'm talking to a girl and she isn't very social and doesn't use her phone much and often she doesn't respond to my texts but i feel bad sending her a bunch of texts in a row when she hasn't responded, when we see each other we could unironically talk and bond for hours non-stop, but it feels off to try and force conversation with her, wtf do i do
Am I wrong for owning guns?
Hey all. What is your opinion on being a cute girl into owning guns? Am I bad for wanting firepower?
Imageboard toxicity
Idk pic related from a random dread felt a little too real to me
Browsing imageboards you realise that memes aside, there is a majority of users who will unreasonably attack people cause of gender/race/appearance/sex life etc
Most anons are 1488ers,~reee roasties~robots,nit-picky lo lc ow ''' farmers ''',self hating >I'm better than the other members of my minority - - or average guys who don't really care cause they aren't directly threatened
None of this I used to mind since ~~hehe how edgy heh I'm not a stacy hehe~~ but after I escaped my abusive situation and started improving my life I realized. Why lurk boards where every other post is either how to sabotage women or manipulate them pretending you're nice in order to use them(which worsens trust issues ) . I know I sound like a pussy sjw newfag but idk haven't you guys bacome less tolerable of others toxicity when you started taking control of your life?
p.s there are noic chans and i am no saint compared to salty anons, just screechin ignore oωο
Workplace Harassment
Who else has been harassed by men or otherwise been put in an uncomfortable situation at work?
Yesterday the assistant manager at my new retail job caught me upstairs crying because a much older male cowoker (I’m 20 and he’s like 65) told me I looked like I “packed on some pounds” while eyeing my ass, then put his hands on my shoulders, lightly massaging me and saying “lighten up sweetheart” when I became visibly upset. The general manager was sent an Email about it and according to him, the creepy old guy is apparently a routine offender, making inappropriate comments toward women and touching them but despite supposedly facing disciplinary action after each one he hasn’t changed his ways. The GM told me today he’ll be facing serious consequences but wouldn’t specify what those consequences will be, hopefully termination.
What would you do if you found out a potential bf did this? How would you feel if you found out your son did this?
Gaslighting
Gaslighting seems to be a really common tactic among men to use against women, especially ones who get angry and vent by taking it out on others. Men in my life regularly use manipulative tactics and lie to try and make me feel bad about myself or tell me that things that happen to me are deserved. My boyfriend constantly says edgy shit about women and upsets me and then just calls me sensitive. It happens on 4chan and even on this board. We're told we're crazy for finding certain behaviours and thoughts repulsive, and we're not allowed to criticise them. If we even try doing the same thing to them we get swamped by accusations of being 'crazy'. It's all too much. I'm sick of being painted as crazy or angry for trying to get people to give a shit about my feelings and understand me.
Anyone else have this problem?

Childhood abuse
So, something weird happened.
My therapist finally got me to acknowledge the possibility(!) that I was abused as a child.
It didn't even go with shock and horror for me, but rather peaceful. Before, I went through an intense period of being disgusted by myself and of course my everlasting depression.
Now everything makes so much more sense. All the little fucked up things that I did, or that happend to me, or that my parents did.
Finally I can function freely. Finally, when asked what's up, I do not get back to the ground level of "I don't know" that has been permeating my entire life.
Finally, the things I say and do are not coming off like I was pretending something, or hiding behind a mask.
I feel free now. And I act better. Things in my life, actually my entire life, seemed to have changed for the better the instant I acknowledged it. I am finally peaceful now.
I'm just a little bit sick at my parents and, still, I don't know anything for sure. It's an assumption now, but it feels pretty good.
Am I wasting my time?
I'm a third year in uni crushing on a fourth year. I personally think we're very compatible, we've become pretty good friends and I'm really into him.
However he seems to have been dumped within the past 6 months and seems to still be hung on his ex.
I feel that I'm circumstantially friendzoned here and no matter how compatible we may or may not be, he probably won't ever see me as anything more than a friend because of possible lingering feelings towards his ex, as well as being in a place where he probably doesn't want to date anytime soon.
I don't know whether I should just give him time and see if he does ever see me as more than a friend or if I should stop trying.
how do I help her?
I work in the office and since my PC at home broke I stay there a lot after my work hours to use the computers. I'm pretty sure I was the last one on my floor today when I found a note left on a piece of paper in the toilet. Translated it was something along the lines 'please help! I'm trapped, respond if you can help me…'. I went back to my room, took some post it notes, wrote 'how can I help you?' and left it in the toilet along with a pen.
what do I do? due to how it looked I'm sure it wasn't a joke. It was left on purpose, at the time when the whole building is usually empty. People from the cleaning service don't speak language it was written in and I'm afraid they will bin both notes and a pen when they do the cleaning over night.
what do I do? I'm so worried that if she won't find her and my notes in the morning she won't reach out again
Where do I go to get an e-bf who's pure like me?
All I see are frat boys who just want to "chill".
i'm alone in my room, crying at 2am because my life is a mess. i met a guy on the internet 2 years ago, we started dating and he was being nice to me but then turned into an obnixious human-being. i really fell in love with him, i don't know why. i wasted the best years of my life. i was 16 when i first met him, and i decided to leave all of my friends behind, i only wanted to spend time with him. he told me he was depressed and didn't wanna go outside. which made sense, because i never really liked going outside either. i didn't like being social. this year was horrible. he would change his profile pic to a random cute girl, i think he was only doing that to make me jealous. but i didn't get jealous. i just felt really ugly. so i told him that he should stop doing that because we're in a relationship. (he knows i have self-esteem issues) he said i'm overreacting. then i said "yeah maybe you're right, after all it's just a profile picture" but then he did the same thing again. i felt like i was being used. then i found out that he talks about "cute girls" with his friends. which pissed me off. and i asked him why he was doing that, he said he loves me and not other girls. he was just talking about how "cute" they are. he said "cute girls exist too, you know" then i told him that if he does it again, i'll break up with him. but of course, he didn't give a fuck. he said he would change. (he didn't) the thing that pissed me off the most was when we were talking about religions, (i don't believe in god or anything, and he doesn't either) he said i would enjoy it if "muslim men" touched me. -i broke up with him after he said that- then we got back together because he apologised and said he didn't mean it, he was just "joking". whenever he gets mad he calls me bad names. last week, i was talking about the new hoop earrings i bought. he called me a whore and said "i can date multiple men if i want" because hoop earrings are for hoes. i fucking hate him so much. he told me he's sorry and that he's going to change. but i don't believe him. he said he's going to kill himself soon because he has no purpose in life. and he doesn't want to lose me. i feel so confused and i don't know what to do. i blocked him on discord and telegram. what else can i do? i just want to forget him but i can't. he was completely different when i met him. he would make me so happy, i remember feeling "butterflies" in my stomach, i thought he was the one. i guess i was wrong. my heart hurts. i just wanna be happy again. should i give him a chance or leave everything behind?

Self Defense & Security
How do you keep yourselves safe? Post advice and tricks in this thread.
Do straight guys ever act nice to girls when they’re NOT trying to get laid (or get something else from them, but usually it’s sex)? I even mean just being friendly, but especially when they’re being seriously helpful, kind, chatty, understanding etc. Can you have male friends who aren’t just looking for sex?
Conversely, have you ever been nice to someone (to whatever extent) just because you thought they were attractive? Is your personality different when dealing with attractive people?
Typical boy troubles
So there’s this guy that I really like because we are kinda like “two peas in a pod” (god that’s cringey but I can’t think of any other way to say that) We say the same jokes or he says whatever I was thinking and I just love talking to him and I talk with him 24/7. I think he may have feelings for me but in the past I’ve really messed up friendships by dating and I don’t want to push him out of my life. One of my best friends seems to have feelings for him and I’m worried that if I don’t make a move or something she’ll end up dating him. I feel kinda selfish for not wanting her to date him when I won’t but I can’t help but feel jealous when she flirts with him. Also, I don’t just want to boldly assume that he has feelings for me. Any advice? Should I just stick with being his friend?
Where do you even meet hot guys? Where do hot guys go? I literally know zero hot guys.
What do you miners do when you see a really attractive man? What would you do if one you didn’t know asked to borrow your pen or notes at uni or something?
I may be getting married soon
I'm 28 years old. Recently my long-term boyfriend (of seven years) has been talking seriously about marriage. I'm really happy. I want to get married and have children and, Fuck it, I honestly with all my heart want a cute family with 2.5 children, a dog, and a picket fence.
We are both from different countries, and have been talking about where we want to have the religious ceremony. I have absolutely no friends to invite. I have one friend from high school whom I'd invite often ceremony was in my country, but she didn't invite me to her own wedding afew years ago (we fell out of touch, completely my own fault).
I'm drunk, but… I'm not the only one, right? There's even a movie or guys about this.
Also, I didn't get a proposition or anything (We've even lived together most if the time we've dated, but I think he's waiting to "ask" my dad. Both my parents live him as nf want us to get married and make babies so I know it won't be a problem).
Honestly, I guess I just want to share my excitement with someone–But like I said, I don't have any friends.
Is there such a thing as an attractive male virgin? I’d rather not have a bf who has been spoiled too much. However, I’d still like an attractive bf (like anyone else) and I’m afraid that any hot guy might’ve been a manwhore. Are there hot men who aren’t mentally ill who are still virgins? Particularly those who AREN’T that way because of religious reasons.
Or are all men sexual beasts who act on their constant urges?

warm cold weather feels

Let's discuss being warm physically and emotionally when it's cold outside! Post your warm feelings about the cold weather, winter, and/or the holiday season! Fav thing to do in the cold weather? What's your fav warm meal/drink? Fav things to wear? How do you stay warm?
I'm stuck
how do I tell if I have BPD or if I'm just unhappy with my relationship? I feel like I want out so badly but at the same time I sabotage all my attempts to break up and try to convince myself that we are good and the only reason why I feel so frustrated with him most of the days is because I'm broken
why am i like this
my ex of two years got a new girlfriend in feb (i only found this by breaking no contact and going on his facebook page) and i'm so angry and upset
jesus fucking christ i'm pathetic

Ethical question
if someone you know is cheating on their significant other or spouse would you alert them ? one of my former friends is cheating on their spouse and has told me she is with them only for financial reasons. i've kept it a secret but i feel so bad about that. we aren't friends anymore and i feel like i need to be ethical about this situation and tell their partner. what would you do if ou were me? As a side note, I've never met the guy she's cheating on the husband with, but for what she has told me he's very abusive towards her and yet she's planning to wait until she can sue her husband for alimony so she has the money to get this other guy to where she lives and live off her husband's salary. I think it is disgusting but should I get involved since we aren't friends anymore? i haven't told her husband yet but i'm preparing to do it
Why can't I find a bf who is into anal?
Does anyone else have this problem?
/sad/
I've been trying really hard to stay clean, responsible, and kind but I feel like no matter how hard I work to be the best me I can be, it'll never be enough for someone to love me in the way I want.
Any samefeelanons or advice…?
Uncomfortable Vulgarity
Recently I sat for maybe 30 minutes at a study/rest area outside a classroom waiting for a lecture to begin. Some other students I am faintly acquainted with were already there when I arrived. Shortly after, a graphic conversation developed among them which involved lots of raunchy banter and demeaning comments about previous sexual partners. They were loud and many of their remarks were actually rather cruel.
Is it normal that I found this experience slightly unsettling? Or am I just an uptight loser?
hate how guy/girl friendships r rare
anyone in college and found it super difficult to make friends because it's like a horrid pattern of, a guy will "be friends" with you, but then when they learn you aren't interested in dating them, they bail? I feel incredibly worthless and I know I am not, but it's gotten to a point where I feel futile in my effots to keep friends. Currently i've made friends with a gay couple, but gays…they have this way of making everything about them? like they don't care that much about what a girl experiences, which is understandable, but it still sucks.
I'm in a STEM field so that's why it's difficult to find girl friends.
also, i feel super ashamed of myself because i used to date guys just so i could still be friends with them, even though i'm not even attracted to men whatsoever. i hate myself
pic related because I wish I was doing this on purpose but i'm not. guys give me shit for not telling them sooner that I'm not "into" them but like, when the fuck is it appropiate to tell you i don't want to date you? that's rude as hell to just be like "btw, i'm fine with us being friends, but no more than that".
So what do y'all feel about non-monogamy? Open relationships, swinging, whatever y'all wanna call it.

YOUR BOYFRIEND GAVE ME THIS T SHIRT
Her shirts says “YOUR BOYFRIEND GAVE ME THIS T SHIRT”. Do you think that’s rude? Would seeing someone with that shirt upset you? On the one hand it reminds me of that I’ve never had a bf, but on the other hand it makes me happy because the shirt assumes I have a bf which gives me hope that I can be normal and have a bf.
me and a good friend are crushing on the same guy, help?
both a good friend and I have feelings for this one guy, who I'm pretty sure is oblivious that we're both trying to subtly flirt with him. my friend and I have already talked about it and decided that whatever happens, we won't let a guy ruin our friendship. however, I'm scared that regardless of our promise, things might turn ugly, simply because she is a very emotional and sentimental person in general, regardless of whether one of us ends up with him or neither. she's giving me the feeling that she might feel jealousy when I'm talking to him in social situations, even though she says she's fine. I've also assured her that I would be happy for her if she ends up with him because she's still my friend and her happiness is just as important, although I can't really predict that I will be 100% okay if it does happen. has anyone been in a similar situation and how did it end between the friends and the guy? any advice?
What do I do? I just need a quick "Itll be okay" or advice or something.
I feel so anxious and horrible and I just want everything to be okay.
A while back I was involved in a community, and there was one person who was a bit notorious for being bad to people/a bit nasty but I sympathized with them and befriended them. Eventually things singled out and now they're my only friend from that community. They never really did anything to me until recently.
They held a suspicion I was plotting against them with another person from the community and requested that I screenshared my private messages with them to prove I hadn't been. I wasn't ok with that and this lead to a big argument with them threatening to report my account/get it taken down if I didn't. I cracked because my account is dear to me. They promised that this would be the last thing. I was ok with it because I was innocent anyway. We did it and everything was fine again.
After that, some time, they told me they found my address through my IP. I know that usually its very very uncommon for that to happen which is some reassurance right now but there is a possibility which is scaring me like crazy. Recently the suspicion sparked back up again for whatever reason and they wanted something else, that had a lot more information. I refused to give it to them pretty much. Now they told me that they could spread my dox and tell my school/parents/neighbours about the inappropriate things I've done. I am just so petrified. I don't know if I should just delete my accounts/uninstall the app and hope they never find a way to contact me again.. But what if they do actually have my address? What if they contact me through some other means like my parents or my school or something? I don't know what to do. I feel so stuck and trapped. They have my phone number but they can't call it unless they get someone else to do it/get a fake number because my plan doesn't cover international calls.
I really really really don't know what to do. I have indeed done 'inappropriate' things but they don't have my nudes, but they may or may not be able to get me suspended from school/in trouble with my parents if they tried.
I just want this to be over. I hate feeling so trapped. pls help/give advice.
I really really can't just tell my parents this is happening since we're already on bad terms and they would take everything away from me if they found out.
It’s early in the morning and shit just went down.. im tired, anybody else?
>tfw you get messaged that you were blocked by your bf was because he wanted to run off to another girl, but instead of telling the truth he makes up an entire jumanji game with him being the protag, telling me he loves me and that he wants a future and for me to wait for him when he comes back from his adventure, and then gets all of his friends to lie about it too.

Matter of fact, how do I even respond to this situation? He’s a couple years older than me too. Mf, it’s like hes 12 or something
Should I expect all relationships to be like this? Is there something wrong with me?

Grudges
Do you hold grudges? Is it really a petty thing, or just hard to "forgive and forget"? Do you say you're "over" something but not really?
I would say I'm pretty forgiving, but still feel bitter about some stuff from the past. Tell me your thoughts anons!
this is a bit of a silly question that could easily be googled, sure, but - how do you tell if a guy is 'interested' in you? even just vaguely interested. im clueless about friendship and romantic relationships and really want my first bf.
a guy grinned at me after approaching me with his friend once and he called me a gem after, i dunno if he was just being polite or if he maybe wanted to be my friend/was interested in me. today i introduced myself/told him to call me my real name instead of my nickname though, i just wanna get on the right track to getting a boyfriend

how does it disrupt your daily life, if it does?
i have a purging disorder.
i kind of want to attempt recovery sometimes, then i see something like my crush looking happier talking to another girl thats skinnier than me, i think about how much better i could look/how i could compensate for my stupid ugly fact, and i think about the comments my dad gives me when i 'eat bad' even though im 19 bmi/skinnier than him (hes overweight, i think.) ive had mine since i was 13. i was a fat child growing up because my parents didnt know how to feed me, and instead of giving me healthy food they just called me fat/made fun of me. it disrupts my daily life heavily because i cant eat anything without purging after, and it just ruins my mood and has disrupted my health. ill be devastated if i go up 0.1 a pound

I know this might sound dumb but this is just some bs that I wanted to spill and vent about… so there is dude in my class and I found out that we have mutual friends and so at first i felt like i should just approach the guy and make a new friend but honestly thats hard af and its difficult to approach him and he doesn't seem to be very friendly to be real BUT he stares at me constantly and I can feel his attention on me in class… my friends and him work together and they tell me he has asked about me… and then it became really weird when one of my friends told me out of nowhere that they told him what I had said about him and it made him really upset and now he thinks i talk shit about him even though thats not true at all and i wasn't i was just saying how it is… i wasn't cool with my friend exposing that information and it was unclear as to how that was brought forth… and now it just brought on more intensity when im in class and its just draining and annoying and I am clear with my body language that i don't care that he's there or what he thinks but he won't stop looking at me and im just confused af
Boyfriend is mad at
So some years ago I was kind of very open, I kissed a lot of guys, sent my nudes to guys over the internet, even gave a bj to a friend while drunk.
My bf thought I hadnt done any of those things, as we were still virgins when we met, then I confessed to him everything i've done and he feels "repulsed".
He says that he had no prior experience before knowing me, not even kissing a girl, and that its unfair for him.
What should I do?

Getting complimented by strangers
I know this is going to sound like humblebragging, but after my friends told me this isn't normal I had to ask.
Do any of you get complimented by strangers in public?
Sometimes people will even get up from their meals to compliment me. My friends play a game where they count how many people stare at me in public. However, I never have guys at my college hit on me, and I've only had one boyfriend (in highschool). When I look at myself I see someone who's average- I'm definitely not ugly, but I'm definitely not model-tier.
I also compliment other girls in passing, so I always thought it was a normal occurence. My friends are definitely pretty, probably even more than me- they actually wear makeup (eyeshadow, fake lashes, lipstick, contour, etc) while I'm definitely not talented in that area at all. Maybe it's because they look traditionally hispanic or American, and I'm eastern European?

Probably going to cause drama because people can't just let others have things but is anyone else here biracial/mixed?
I thought it would be a nice place to post stories, ventings for dealing with family or others, etc. I feel like people are maybe going to say to go to Tumblr but that site not only doesn't really promote discussion but despite what they project they're not friendly towards mixed people at all. Just interracial dating to "stick it to white people". I also feel like a lot of them are american because they think mixed means white and black.
I am Korean girl and I will talk about Korean boys
Korean boys who have foreign gf always they upload his gf naked photo and face. He say that she is teenage and very kind to him and sympathy. Maybe the foreign woman was lonely in korea and she thought the korean boy is kind. But this things always happen in Korean website. The korean website are not porno site. Almost korean boys use the web site. And they dont think it is not problem. The victims are not only asian. There are white victims too
And Korean boys even upload his daughters photo on web site. Korean boys talk sexual insult to the child. Any Korean boys dont think it is wrong.
I heard that the girls are very kind to the korean sex offenders and feel sympathy for the korean boys. And the victims are usually teenager so they cannot filter out sex offenders. I want to talk about this to all foreign girls.
Why is my height always making me unhappy?
I'm a 5'10 girl and I like a guy that hates tall girls. Do I just forget about him or can I do something about this?
He's super tall by the way.
How to handle breaking up with someone
Is it wrong to dump someone by just blocking them and never speaking to them since? I've broken up with a person before, but it's been so long that I forget how I dumped them. I remember I had to try a few times and it was a month long process until all contact was broken, really.
Basically, I want to break up with someone who's shit I've had enough of. I'm afraid I'll back down, though. I seriously am done with them….it has probably been over a year on here since I've talked on and off about their abusive behavior and although I've had many good experiences with them, overall they're still shit even if they aren't as extreme as they used to be.
So how do I go about this? Is blocking and pretending they don't exist the most childish, immature way out of this? Do I have to talk to them one on one? Is a phone call sufficient? How do I ensure we are really done with each other?
(no, this unfortunately isn't troll/bait)
i am so sick of being physically and emotionally lonely and tfw no irl bf that i'm considering going "slutty" just to finally stop being so lonely (i haven't ever kissed anyone and i never wear shorts or tank tops or ever show cleavage right now)
i just cant get anyone to like me right now
i got rejected at school by a guy in front of his friends and a girl passingly said to me that i should just try talking to -specific name of guy- since hes the horniest guy in school and i was repulsed at the thought of just dating someone because theyre horny and desperate but over the weekend i started thinking about how its better than nothing

I am so alone and pathetic
Friendship isn't real and at best I am a social filler until someone more interesting/fashionable/beneficial comes along(who then would become invisible if an even more superior being came along).
I've been hurt very badly yet the feelings of loneliness keep making friendship seem appeasing. Every experience since puberty tells me friendship isn't real. It exists in the anime I watch, but that anime is consumed by lonely rejects that will be abandoned by their e-friends the moment a superior social contact comes along. The only thing that bonds these friendships together is a lack of superior alternatives.
In middle school I lost most of my friends because I wasn't cool to be seen with. A few years later I lost the remainder, and sat with my group of vicious losers where we talked about hating everyone each day, but they used me as a verbal punching bag.
I try to show interest in people and validate them and truly listen, yet I'm always forgotten and replaced. Especially in the era of the internet we're so easily forgotten. In every online community I've never been able to become part of the group, I'm at best sitting on the social periphery and mostly ignored and at worst I get outright attacked by core members who obviously want me gone.
I thought I made an irl friend this year and I must have messed it all up. I went shopping with someone for the very first time in my adult life, she had done it a million times so she had no idea how much it meant to me. An anon here urged me that I needed to share more about myself to her, yet when I tried it was ignored. And then I became nearly invisible when I was a few months away from moving and she quit eating lunch with me. During my last week at work and right after our lunch break this other girl went into extreme detail about the lunch she had with this once friend of mine, and I repeated a mantra in my head that it was okay but pathetically erupted into tears 10 minutes later and nobody had any idea what I was crying about. After I was gone she texted me "bye anon I'll miss you!!!" and I responded "doubt it", after this she said "believe what you want but I really will miss you" she told me to show her a picture of my cat at my dad's house(a plan we formed months prior, the place I was moving to), I told her something really mean because I wanted her to leave me alone and hopefully have her feelings hurt at least a fraction of how mine had. I regret it, I wanted her to cry or something. But it's not like she knew that showering me with friendship and then withdrawing it shortly after would hurt me, these people have so much success with others they don't even know what it feels like. She said the words "I only have 10 friends", she couldn't have dreamed a possibility up that I was affected. I wasn't owed her friendship, but it made me mad that as I stopped existing she would still go "anon we're matching! :3" and ruin my day. That entire time after her withdrawal I'd do my best to put on a mask of indifference but I was in a lot of pain every single day at work, and was counting the days until I'd never see her again.
There is undoubtedly something wrong with me. I initially do very well with people, people irl and online call me one of the funniest girls they know and tell me I'm interesting or know a lot of stuff. Yet I'll never be a core friend, I'm always in some back seat to be discarded. I want a best friend so badly. I became invisible to the e-friend that once called me her best friend as well. I am 26 years old and have 1 e friend, who is emotionally distant and called me "neurotically compassionate" but still values me and doesn't seem like she will grow tired of me. I'm in an e-relationship and we're going to meet next year and we love each other. I feel pathetic for this. I am trying to make more friends.
I tried tinder this summer because I wanted a bf, but anon was right when she said that it would only hurt my feelings. I thought I hit the jackpot when I met a 6'4 guy who was cute in the face and slender and played runescape, he took me out and made me feel so special, but then I quit existing to him. I had butterflies for weeks after that date, and was so proud of myself for being brave. Maybe it was because I looked so low status but he admitted he wanted me to do perverted stuff that I had no interested in doing like fingering him and he wanted us to get a strap on, I was so desperate I said yes although it was killing me inside. And even saying yes to this he had some excuse every time I invited him over to my apartment. He probably found someone cuter and smarter.
I was pretending to be a male incel online and was getting quite good at it, but even that community began to hurt my feelings. I was putting all of my emotion towards the girls who have hurt me through friendship over the years into it and it worked quite well.
I wish I could die. I don't even have any family to fill this void except my autistic senile father who has nothing to talk about except a few subjects he keeps on rotation. And I have to step on eggshells talking to him because one wrong move and he has this sperg meltdown and shouts at me, so I'm mostly restricted to nodding and going "uh-huh".
Whenever someone happy and successful and beautiful dies or gets attacked with acid by a crazy ex, part of me gets a kick out of her perfect life being ruined and her perfect family being devastated, but another part wishes I could take her place because my life is the one that shouldn't go on. I only get some sense of schadenfreude from it because I'm deeply envious, I don't like being this way, I deeply crave to be the normie and would sell my soul to have it.
saw a friend get harrassed, didn't intervene and feel guilty/weird
Please help – was I in the wrong? What can I do to help now?
Last night I went over to two new male friends' place to drink and chill. One was especially drunk once I got there (Drunk Guy) – already slurring and difficulty walking. I was drinking too. The one dude who was already drunk kept drinking and getting increasingly cuddlier with the other guy (Chill Guy). Cuddling turned to hair petting/neck rubs, to then Drunk Guy laying on Chill Guy's lap and eventually trying to kiss his cheek and grab his crotch. Chill Guy seemed OK with the cuddling at first but then was pushing away Drunk Dude's hands when he was trying to grope him and said something like "no, no, none of that" and pulled away when he tried to kiss him.
I was trying make eye contact with Chill Guy to give the international "ARE YOU OK" eye contact, but they felt sort of off in their own little world, even though we were all in the same room. Drunk Guy eventually passed the fuck out and neither I nor Chill Guy could wake him up or move him off the couch to try and walk him home, etc.
I texted Chill Dude today and he said he felt upset about what had happened (attempted kissing, groping) but didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
I feel like I fucked up and let him get harassed right in front of me without doing enough to stop it. I feel like an enabling bystander and I don't know how to help or what to do. Thoughts and advice please?

Girls how do I accept criticism? I want to get better at writing but throughout the years I've been becoming more and more insecure about my writing style etc and I feel like I'll never get better because every time someone gives me slight criticism on one of my stories it's like I shut down and scrap the entire story instead of fixing the tiny part(s) that the person had a problem with. I wasn't always like this. I used to be confident in my writing but now it feels like I did a whole 180 and I think everything I write is garbage. You can definitely tell when someone is insecure about their writing in a paper because it usually seeps through. I just want to be able to write again and not scrap every single thing that I write. I want to get better so I want to be able to take criticism like an adult.

Say something positive about yourself
Sometimes it's good to be a little self indulgent for a while - share some things about yourself that you love!
It could be about your appearance, personality, talents, skills, traits etc, anything to make you feel good and to share some positive energy around.
Ex-friends/Lost connections
We all have some stories of friends we used to know and love but aren't there for us anymore.
What happened for you to drift apart?
Do you miss them?
Have you tried to reconnect?
Etc.
I don't want to grow up
Is anybody else also feeling like this?
Some might say, well you don't have to give up your old interests, but it just hurts me so much seeing all the other people around me slowly starting to get engaged, living with their bfs, starting to work, hell, even selling their old "first" car.
I was always called really serious and mature for my age, dressed solely in trenchcoats during my teen years, but since I was 19 I started getting obseesed with the idea of wanting to stay young. I do go to uni and plan to work normally, but I'm just not ready for all that other stuff.
My room is super plain and I don't wear obnoxious clothes, I just don't like anything super "elegant", so whenever I see some of my old friends wearing some dark red lipstick and heels it just weirds me out. The time since our graduation flew by so fast and they all moved away starting their own lifes. One of my friends is already married, soon I can no longer even call myself a student. I'm desperately holding onto the few fun memories I made when I was younger.
I remember really enjoying spontaneously agreeing to go to a concert of a band I didn't know at all. One of the best nights of my life. We only bought tickets right outside of the venuse. They were some rather unknown american band. Me and my friend stood behind 2 girls who were groupies of that band, and I felt strangely jeelous of their immature but also carefree way of living (they chatted all the time, so I heard quite a bit).
It hurts me if people say wearing converse or crop tops are childish, because that's exactly what I like. I don't have many friends but whenever I witness others my age talking about their plans I feel like I wouldn't even want to be part of them? Staying at home and cooking a healthy meal together just sounds so boring. I wish I had friends to just go to McDonalds at night, go to concerts, travel together and so on, but everbody starts doing everything with their partners now. I don't even want a bf, if that means I have to do those things as well. I'm also not ready to "let go" of my celebrity crushes for a real guy lol. I hate anything "romantic", I just want to watch Family Guy or some meaningless shit like that.
The sad part is that I think if I was a guy it would be a lot more accepted. Even older men still can normally wear only comfy clothes, love fast food and have childish hobbies. Before anybody accuses me of trying to paint me as "one of of the guyz", no, not at all. I've never had male friends, I only really got along with other girls.
What should I do?

Quitting Imageboards
Halp. How do I quit imageboards forever? I've been here for way too long.
Imageboards have done nothing for my life but made me a pessimistic, depressed little b*tch content with my isolation. I'm completely addicted to the internet, pron and video games and I hate it so much. I have important things in life that I need to focus on, like school but can't because I keep getting distracted by this meaningless escapism. I'm completely wasting my life, I'm 18 now and have very little real life experience, zero friends and terrible social skills. The only people I can talk to are my parents. I'm such an absolute wreck and often feel like I'm gonna be this way forever but I want to change I really want to change. Is there any hope for me? Have any of you ever tried to leave?
Anyone else here hates the outside world?
Not talking about animals nor humans, just the enviroment. Like most of the scenery looks bland and boring to me. I can't imagine how people go hiking on a regular basis just for starring at some generic trees and rivers.
Maybe I'm just numb to visual stimuli, nothing really impresses me anymore. As a young girl it was quiete the opposite though.

i hate being so lonely
I have absolutely no one to talk to in real life or even online. i lost all 'friends' i made when i graduated from high school. I've been a socially awkward mess ever since then. i stumble words and I can't keep a conversation going. Even people I talk to online feel like they only feel bad for me and just wish I would stop talking to them. (which they do, I constantly get ghosted and they don't ever have the same level of interest as I do. ) I'm a mess and I'm depressed, all the time I feel like ending it all. I have no goals or drive to do anything. I either lay in bed all day and cry or mindlessly scroll through Reddit, Tumblr, or discord servers I don't even talk in. I have severe anxiety so I get panic attacks in public so going out isn't an option and people don't want to talk to me online either. I'm so lonely. that's why I'm posting on some anonymous board right now where no one will probably care but whatever typing it out makes me feel good. I don't know what i can do to relieve this never ending sorrow of how lonely I am. I own a cat, but she can't talk. my family constantly argues so my relationship is loose with them. I feel like i have nothing at all, I'm isolated and trapped in a bubble from the outside world. and yes… I am receiving treatment for the most of the time I've been alive , it's just really bad. I don't believe I have any redeeming qualities , i have no talents, no hobbies, and no passions. the only thing that is probably keeping me going is that i have to care for my cat or no one else will and i love her. "but there are people out there who like you!" i doubt it. but if anyone can give me 'advice' please say something. my self destructive behavior is just getting worse and i cut off people more and more every day.
Does no-shlick really improve pheromones and skin, or is that only for no-fap?
Hey /feels/ after a lot of self improvement (especially self steem related) I finally managed to get asked out by a guy last weekend and we had an awesome time and im really excited about seeing him again.
Problem is I think hes handsome but both my mom and my sister said hes kind off ugly.
What do you think?
Pic related, hes the blonde one.
Relationship anxiety anyone?
>bf is long distance, but still able to visit since he’s only 2-7 hours away
I get scared or worried that maybe I won’t be able to make him fully happy from such a far distance. Recently I’ve had fear that I can’t sexually help him as much as he’d want to, I’m a virgin and I’ve never done anything sexual besides sending a bra pic to another guy in the past (due to other issues). Hes very overly sexual and constantly mentions how when we will meet we can do all of these sexual actions.. I know that I’m not afraid of being sexual in a relationship but, I have fears of being taken advantage of or used. I know he’s had sexual partners in the past, and he’s even mentioned that he could just go to somebody for sex if he wanted to, that the reason why he stays with me is because he truly loves me. He says he loves me for how I am and all that.. but how can I not be worried? Am I just overreacting with my anxiety? I do love him, but emotionally I still have a couple walls up due to having bad experiences in the past. I’m very new to relationships, this being my first one.. and I want to allow myself to be fully vulnerable to him and comfortable, but I have so many fears he’s just going to use me, or that maybe I am not enough for him, and he will find another.
In the past, guys have talked to me for how I physically look, I’ve been sexually harassed and groped so much by strangers it makes me scared to be sexually intimate in my relationship, being taken advantage of or not being good enough.. or just being betrayed is my biggest fears.
I don’t think he would do anything, I trust him 100 percent!
How do I fix my relationship anxiety? I’m too scared to tell him how I fear because I’ve mentioned it to him before, and it just felt weird to say..
Am I just overly paranoid? We are going to see eachother in person soon, so I don’t know if I’ll be fully comfortable around him for.. anything really.
We are still fairly new together, so far a month and so. He’s very straight forward and blunt With what he says so I know his intentions are to be with me, that he loves me. But will I ever be enough? Is my anxiety justified? Maybe I am just overthinking everything?
Am I just paranoid?

what feeling does it give you? depression material tbh.
Guys, I think I'll just stay alone.
I know I just graduated from school and I have all my life ahead of me but..wow.
I never really tried, like, finding a boyfriend, due to my insecurity about my height.(5'9)
Every guy I start talking with it's just meaningless. All they care about is sex and how many girls they'll fuck, so they can show off..Nobody is really romantic and my circle of friends is just surrounded by fuckboys and stacies, so theres really no chance of meeting a decent one. Listening to romantic songs and watching all these innocent romance anime made me realize that I'll never experience anything like that. It just physically hurts me. How do I cope with this?
An important friend of mine is going through a huge ego trip and he just disappeared.
I met him this year but I heard that every year at least once, he closes all his social media for a short period and then reopens them.
Due to an illness of his, he couldn't do much with one of his hand cause there was a risk of him dying if he made the wrong move. So for 3 years he just wasted his time. This year that thing was cured so he finally started the thing that he always wanted, boxing. He is really passionate about it as I heard from his friend. So, he closed his accounts as usual but this time he kept them closed just a little too much. We called him on his phone and agreed to meet up and he made us sit and wait for him 30 mins until he just said that he just didn't want to come. A friend of us from another town would come to stay at his house for some days but he canceled it on the last minute. Lastly, the girlfriend of his best friend got really hurt and his best friend was talking to him and he didn't even care he just answered "Yes" "Now let me tell you what I did on practice"
I want to talk to him because I miss him but there's no way contracting her anyways. I tried but he didn't even answer he just talks to a very few circles of people. What do I do /adv/?

How do you deal with being harassed online?
I've had this group of guys online harass me for the past FOUR years now and they won't stop. I even blocked their accounts on every online media possible but they either target my friends, add them to start shit talking me to them or spam their comment sections with memes or made up stories about me, or they even target random people that I might be interested in, like for example I'd post a random comment on someone's profile, few hours later when I check back in I see a comment from one of the guys either trying to befriend that said person or make some snarky remark about me.
It won't stop, they've even been posting my discord ID and other accounts on 4chan lately in boards dedicated to sex and made the comment that accompanied the post seem as degenerate as possible, saying how I was into furries or into getting fucked by dogs. It feels like they're just destroying any sort of reputation I might have around some of the people that would know me online, or even those who wouldn't know me might still here those made up stories and then think badly of me. They claim I deserve everything I get as well and that I should ''apologize'' for something I've done, but I've never done anything bad or wrong to them to begin with, only thing I can think of is this one time when I remove one of guys who was about 14 or so, because he started being super annoying, he added me back few days later after the remove though, I accepted but he started acting super edgy and aggressive to me so I just removed him again and blocked as well, few weeks after that it's when they all basically started spamming me with porn and harass me.
I mean I can just ignore them I guess but it still makes me feel like shit when I go anywhere and suddenly see some recent comment or post from them that mentions me in it.
Unhappy about racism
I am so depressed, like it's literally killing me inside, about all the alt-right propaganda, that dark-skinned races are inherently inferior and have smaller brains than Whites. I have heard so many hateful things being said about my country, it makes me so upset being a third-worlder and a "shitskin". I have been seeing a shrink, but psychiatric treatment is of very poor quality in my country, and all she did is gave me a couple of anti-depressants that don't work. How can I deal with this problem? It's literally ruining my life. My grades have sunk enormously and I've lost interest in anything positive. All I do is think about all this stuff all day.
How do I breakup with my boyfriend?
>LTR, 7 years
>never gets a job
>plays videogames all day
>doesn't give a shit about his health
>getting fat and smelly
>depends on his mom for everything
>very rude
>self victimizing all the time
>can't break up with him because he pulls the suicide card
>still love him deeply but more as a friend than as a boyfriend at this point
What do I do? Should I gather courage to breakup with him even if he threatens to kill himself?
I feel like he's waiting for me to do it so he has another reason to hate himself and say he wants to die.
I'm getting so tired of this. I just want to be with someone who can actually be with me and acts like a grown-up. He has been depressed for 2 years, I don't think I can deal with this anymore. He's constantly treating me like shit and gives me almost no attention unless I disappear/treat him badly. If I do that he suddenly starts whining saying I don't give him love and attention. I'm tired.
this is hard to type, i just feel so horrible, and this is going to be a long one
i am so tired of being so lonely
i can't take it, i want to have my first irl boyfriend or girlfriend, i want someone to hold me, i want to hug someone, i want something to look forward to when i wake up and leave for school, i want someone to make my life worth it, i want to have my first kiss, i want someone to do things with, i can't take this
i always thought when i started leaving my house for real (i was originally homeschooled, but begun going to school this year) i'd finally have friends and get a boyfriend, because i've hung around a lot of incels who drilled the "your problems and loneliness are invalid because youre a female and therefore your life is good and boys will go wild over you! youll have so many friends and become a slut!" idea into my head and so i waited, every single day i waited - i told myself when i went to school i'd finally make the friends i never had and get the boyfriend i never had and you know what? i didnt
i just had to watch people interact every day and disclude me from it, i am nothing - to them and in general. i tried my best but nobody is ever going to want me
i got some hope from a stupid happening - a random person with their group of friends i didn't know started approaching me, and one of them asked if i thought their friend was cute and told me he needed a girlfriend and they could give me his phone number. i felt like things were finally happening for me, the stuff i heard was finally being proven true, i would finally have someone to love and someone to love me back, i was just so overjoyed, i felt the hope i had forgotten
but i texted him and i just got ignored
the feeling of patheticness that shrouded me as i checked my phone again and again to no avail is like no other feeling
i don't understand why things are like this.. i don't want to be lonely anymore, i can't take it
Life keeps taking away my joys and accomplishments.
Anyone feel like life just gives you things only to take them away like some kind of sick divine punishment?
>almost find the perfect relationship, completely blow it
>work out and diet to achieve a body I'm proud of, only to get a hernia and have to stop.. losing years of progress
>get a career only to end up absolutely despising it
>make an absolute shit ton of money day trading, only to lose it all and then some like a fucking idiot
>move 1,200 miles away from home in an attempt to find myself and be independent, fail to make any meaningful connections whatsoever and go broke
You guys ever feel like it's getting harder and harder to wake up and try?
Venting thread
Venting thread because why not make one more
I'll start
I'm well aware of the fact that I am the equivalent of that one stinky bonfire your neighbor had in his back garden with his buddies last night.
I am well aware that I will end my days sooner than I should. I am well aware of the fact that I may or may not be a danger to myself. Everyday I stare at the wall and do nothing all day. I don't have anybody. I don't want to get help because they'll treat me as if I'm some sort of kicked dog or something. I don't want their attention and I don't want their pity. I have been keeping to myself for far too long but I still won't tell anybody I know in real life so I am here on some odd internet imageboard for ladies. I just need to leave some sort of mark somewhere on the internet, no matter how small, before I completely break down. I feel like I won't be on this filthy planet for much longer and the thought of that makes me happy. Ironically, it makes me feel somewhat alive.
I don't know what's going to happen but I needed to vent about what I have been feeling for the past few years. The voices or whatever the fuck they are won't listen to me. They always fucking mock me and I hate it but I know that what they are saying is true. I know that I am worth next to nothing. I'll make them stop, though. I'll make those fuckers stop even if I have to stop breathing to make them go silent for fucking eternity.
A bit long but I suppose it's a start. Hopefully I didn't scare any of you off.

>shut in type throughout tail end of middleschool and generally most all of highschool and now half way through college.
>i know it may sound sad, but as an isolationist i have developed personal hobbies and skills that allowed me to generate my own sense of purpose and happiness.
>last year, met someone on an online live streaming website. we shared a few things in common and had similar interests/ sense of humor.

>shared images, compliments, experiences, etc…
>for the longest time i legitimately thought i was asexual, but i really enjoyed the attention i was getting.
>i feel the hows and whys aren't too important, but today i am back to just being by myself and my hobbies, and it feels like I'm suffering from withdrawal syndrome.
i know that before meeting him i had been able to feel satisfied, and accomplished within myself and my outlets that i enjoy, but now i have this void that i don't feel any amount of self improvement will fill. why do i feel this longing for external validation where once i had none and was perfectly fine?
what can i do to stop feeling like this and return to being satisfied in myself and my personal achievements?

What are your thoughs on PUA and why men are so sneaky?
They are digusting and make me feel dirty only thinking about it.
Are there really other women out there who fall for this shit? And man who are in need to pay for this kind of stuff?
Makes me ashamed to be a women/makes me want to become a lesbian. I'm I the only one who feels this way?

How do I bring up that i want to date?
There is a guy ive been talking to for more than 10month now and i want to finally meet him irl.
My problem is that i have no clue how to bring up the topic without it being awkward and i'm really scared that it might hurt our relationship.
It took months to make him join voip, even though we chat and play games on a daily basis, so i'm scared that asking for a date will shoo him away. (I'm >90% sure that it's not because he has a gf already since he's even more socially retarded than me)
Do any of you have a Stacy mom?
Madly in love with my BFF
We've known each other for about 9 years. When we met, we clicked right away, had the same niche interests, same awful childhood, similar mindsets but still different enough to help each other grow etc. We dated for about half a year only a few months into knowing each other but it didn't go well (we both agreed we were too immature and messed up at the time to pursue it) so we broke up but remained close friends anyway.
We still spent almost the entire day together and neither of us felt weird about it, we just enjoyed each others' presence. Eventually we grew apart a little and stopped doing things together or even talk as much, and that went further downhill when I got into an abusive relationship where I was forced to cut all contact with my friends. It was the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life. At the time I didn't know any better, I just wanted someone to love me, so I hesitantly went along with it.
Eventually other complications made me break up with that boyfriend. I had noone left so I did the only thing I could think of and that was getting on my knees and begging my ex-bff to forgive me. I learned a lot from that relationship, so I meant every word of it. I didn't expect much from it but his patience of a saint reluctantly accepted and we became friends again, though it was very strained at first. It also didn't help I had some psychological trauma from that abusive relationship, I wasn't like myself at all, but my bff stuck around and helped me get back on my feet, back to my old self.
This was about 2 years ago, and right now we're just like when we met each other. We spend all day together but we're a lot more mature, we have adult responsibilities now so obviously there's no 24/7 companionship anymore, but it's as close as possible.
So then I started developing really intense feelings for him, I feel like he's my soulmate, like we actually share a soul. I can't go 5 minutes without thinking about him, every thought I have involves him. I used to just talk to myself in my thoughts, but a few months ago I started noticing I now talk to my BFF in my thoughts instead.
A lot of these feelings are mutual I think, he has given me similar signals over time but since we're both nutjobs I can't really be certain about anything. All I know is we both love being with each other to death and care for each other more than anything in the world. If for whatever reason a romantic relationship isn't available despite of that, I don't really care, I just want him to always be a part of my life ever since I got out of my bad relationship, so I'm not going to avoid opening a can of worms that might destabilize our friendship. I'm blessed to have such an amazing person in my life and I feel like I can't ask for more than that.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has similar experiences? Not really as advice, just sharing feels.
I'm bisexual in a straight relationship. Things are good, I love him and I like male bodies. I just pains me that I also like tits and pussy and a the touch of another girl. I feel really guilty when I masturbate and think of girls. Are there any other bisexuals here that go through this?

Online communtities
Does anyone feel like they can't fit in online communities? I'm thinking of regulating myself to a permanent lurker because every time I join an online community I can't get along with anyone. What's the point?
LDR general & feels
Let's talk about long distance relationships and share our current feels!
To get it started, here are a few questions to pick from:
>How long have you been dating? If you're single, since when have you had feelings for the other person?
>Did you meet IRL or online?
>How long did you know each other for before you started dating?
>Did you enter an official (between the two of you) romantic relationship before or after meeting IRL?
>How did you confess?
>If you met online, how was the first meeting?
>How far apart do you live?
>How often can you see each other?
>How do you communicate? (chatting, calling, video)
>How much or how often do you communicate?
>Can you recommend any apps or websites for LDR couples?
>How do you feel about your sex life when you're apart?
>Are you monogamous? Do you have exceptions?
>How happy are you in your current relationship?
>What are your plans for the future?
I can't really tell if my relationship has been doomed for a long time, or if it's dead or if it's actually doing well and I'm the problem here.
I don't have anyone to talk to. I managed to lock myslf in a really tight box. We live together, we work together, we do shopping and go cycling together. Sometimes we spend weeks never being further than 20 meters from each other. I have few good friends, mostly from work, but when we go out for drinks after work we're always together. I'm suffocating. I claim to love this man but I can't stand him anymore. All the little things annoy me. The way he talks. His jokes. His clothes. His habits. I feel like a fucking monster for having these thoughts.
I have noone to talk to. My friends from work are his friends and coworkers too. My only friend outside of work became his friend too over the years. Besides, he lives far away and traveling on my own to see him would be weird.
Lately we argue every single day. Always over dumb shit. We stopped making good memories. We either fight or are act like cooworkers/roommates. Breaking up comes up in these fights quite often.
We still have sex. Usually I initiate because deep down I'm scared that once we stop our relationship will start fading away.
Although it's been really bad for a long while part of me desperately wants to make it work. When it comes to all that big stuff, we're perfectly compatible. There's so much wrong with me, but he loves me despite it. I have a few weird dealbreakers and he's good with them. Who else would be? And he's a good person. Except one thing that happened year ago he never did anything bad to me. And besides working literally one meter from each other it's great to work in the same profession that I'm extremely passionate about
Ugh it would be so much easier if not these good sides. I'm rambling.
The thing is I really dont know what to do. Including this one I had three long term relationships. As shitty as it is, I wasn't properly single since I was sixteen. I'm 23 now. I never lived alone. I never threw a party on my own. It was always us , not me
I feel like I know what to do, but I dont know how. I'm scared that I have BPD and this is just a phase because in the matter of fact I actually swing between idealising and devaluating him. Although lately it kinda stays on the worse side. I'm afraid I'll never be alone because after 2+ years I always feel burned out. The person I'm the closest to usually becomes the one that I have most problems with.
Like happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me.
I'm scared of breaking up. I have so many useful things I got from him. My family loves him. His pretty much feels like a family to me. We work together. I'm afraid that after few days I'll regret it. Our relationship may be bad, but he's a genuinely good person. I'm so scared that one night I'll go to bed alone and suddenly realise how he was the one and only, but there will be no going back. I'm scared I'll never be as happe as I was with him in the past. But at the same time I feel like we won't be nearly as happy even if we stay together.
And I have noone to talk to. I'm pretty much falling apart now, today at work I seemed normal but I was as close tp breaking down as it gets. What do I do?
Cheating
Share your experiences.
Has your SO flirted with other people, had an emotional affair or have they done something physical? Do you suspect they might be cheating on you?
Tell us
- What are the warning signs?
- How did you find out?
- Have they tried to deny it?
- How did it end?
- Do you hate them?
- How did you get over it?
If you have cheated on someone, feel free to put your input in here.
If you need support, post here as well.
Why are some of you on here?
Some of you seem too socially adjusted i.e you have friends,boyfriends and people that love you. So do explain what brings you to here its not the most normal or mainstream site. Why not visit other sites like rddit or imgr.This image board is obviously counter-intuitive to being happy / normal. Some of you seem like genuinely nice and likeable people. Therefor, I can only suggest for you to leave this vitriolic place.
question for those who've been sexually abused
If you still live or did live for a long time after the abuse with your abuser and were forced to have a "normal" relationship with them, do/did you find yourself taking their criticism or gripes about you way worse than if anyone else did? I know, they're not worth my time worrying over their opinion of me, but it hurts me like nothing else when they insinuate I'm too stupid or easily overwhelmed to do x and I feel so worthless when they call me dense when I'm sure if someone else close to me called me that, I'd brush it off and see that they're just mad or not thinking clearly or joking or whatever.
I feel so helpless to stop feeling this way. I don't think the rest of my family gets it, either. They often just think I'm being overdramatic and they know what happened between us.
I feel so pathetic because the last time I was abused by this person was 9-11 years ago and I'm still snagged on them.
Anyway, it'd be great if some of you could give input, tell me how you stopped caring, or just shared your experience and make me feel less alone.
I hate porn.
I've been with a guy for two years, I love him and we are happy together, but I'm very close to his best friend as well, so close that I think I have romantic feelings for him and that makes me feel like shit but I'd be too sad if I stop being friends with him.
Should I stop talking to him, wait for the crush to go away (although it seems to get stronger) or something else?
>tfw you will never have a group of girls (no good equivalent to the word 'guys') to sit around and shoot the shit with
>tfw you sit at the bar alone drinking beer after beer hoping for another lone woman to enter
>tfw all of your female friends have husbands and barely have time to hang out with you without them
>tfw none of your 'friends' (male) understand you at all
im reaching my breaking point.
>mfw I'm 214 lbs
How the FUCK do I lose weight? I'm getting so sick of seeing my fat ass every time I look into the mirror.
Do any of you have an especially active or popular internet alter ego?
I'm sure everyone here separates their internet and real life to an extent, but do any of you take it a step further and have a completely anonymous pseudonym that you are particularly active with in a certain community or produce work under?
I created a handle for putting out some creative work I didn't want tied to my real name, and it's been great in that regard but privacy is a big enough concern (had issues with rude and nosy coworkers in the past) that I keep my identity airtight. Only my partner knows of it, and I do not disclose any personal details to people I befriend under this name, and I don't interact with anyone I know in real life on this account and vice versa. It's kinda lonely because I'd love to be closer friends with some of these people but I can tell me being secretive puts some distance between us (I don't blame them of course), and on the flip side sometimes a post would do well on either my professional account or my anonymous account but I'll feel like it's 'wasted' on my anonymous account (because it might get my positive professional attention) yet I feel like it would get more attention overall on my fake account at this point and also help me keep the account active and engaging since I try to post 1-2 times a week.
I also have enough of a following now that I am getting paid requests and am thinking of opening a ko-fi account but I worry about people somehow finding out my real name though those accounts somehow.
Have any of you done this and do you have any advice on dealing with these issues?
ITT anything that makes you cry easily and gives you the feels: videos, images, stories, movies/books suggestions, discussion, etc.
It's good to have a good cry once in a while.
Envy
I'm jealous at everything. Despite knowing that I have it nice and wouldn't want to trade.
I sacrificed everything when starting my family. I was aware of it and decided to, but I was so far on top. And now I'm on the bottom end of the month I literally scrape by with zero money.
And then I'm here, currently sitting in "uptown", a town adjacent to our city where all the rich and well-off people live. Especially families. Everything here is so fucking nice and peaceful. Of course living here is more expensive than in the city itself. I mean, I live in the city (reason #1 to not complain about anything), but in the industry area where also salafism is on the rise. The part where no one wants to live. And our friends, also a stay at home mom, live here and while they are looking for something new to live and complain about everything being expensive, they also go "No, I don't want to live in another town ^^".
Then all the people who can apparently afford shelling out tens of thousands of Euros for a new nice luxurious car. It's literally the least priority to have a car better than those crabby old boxes to get around. But apparently they earn so much that they just go "why not"?
Also, malls. "Boutiques". Stores where clothing cost easily ten times as much as they are worth. And people strolling through them with the money just oozing out of their pockets, on a March to glorify capitalism. Not only that, completely superfluous consumerism in a building as large as a little town built with finest material so everyone can feel like Croesus while blowing money out of the window.
I'm aware it's about the vainest thing in existence and still I'm so jealous, and it makes me the worst person ever. I have wonderful kids and yet I'm bitter that I don't get to waddle through shiny malls with the intention to buy nice things.
Then my husband, I chose him because of his virtues, and that means that he doesn't follow the religion substitute of amassing wealth. And now I sit here, bitter that he doesn't earn as much as other men, would never even try, but even if, it would be futile.
Then I see my friend on the social media who went down the other path. She's now so famous that billboards with her face are being produced. (Of course, she suffers because she's lonely. But still.)
I crave for a job, any job, even the shitty telecommunication installation guy had a job I envied him for. I'm a technician at heart and housewife is nothing like that.
I am envious of people going out. I would love to sing and dance and get smashed. I'm also jealous at those who still get to flirt and date. My relationship is substantial, but it just feels like another chore.
I'm jealous at everyone who can follow their dreams. But I must rationally reject that as "fleeting entertainment that won't matter in the end." I know all this and still I'm bitter.
And then the fucking Parenthood bloggers. "I make a living by blogging!" Yeah that's why you absolutely have to advertise a bank's funds investment plan as a necessity for Parenthood. And thousands of mother's read your shitty """blog""" that is nothing else but a 24/7 advertising platform because she has ~one kid~ at the age of what? 3? and thus apparently is an expert in the field of parenting. Meanwhile I blog about my life and goals that, sorry for boasting, are actually ambitious, unique and interesting, and I have lousy 100 followers (half of which are the obligatory friend followers) because I spend my day actually living that life and not optimizing my social media presence.
Everything is full of lies, they pretend to look for truth but won't give a fuck at you if you don't also become full of lies, they literally bow down to false idols and make their lives about who serves them most, and I know all this and STILL fall for it.
Why is life so shit.
A boy told me he loves me today and I said I love him too. We've been together for a couple months.
We're inexperienced but willing to try to be together and make it work.
Can anons in LTRs tell me how to have a long and healthy relationship?

Meta on venting/age play
I hate being me.
I'm a gigantic crying child in a mid 20s body.
Whenever I express to someone that I'm in pain I don't actually want a solution or instructions, I just want someone to say "you poor thing life has been unkind to you".
While locked in the psychward the most helpful part was when one of the staff there was noticeably affected by what I told her. I think before being handed "tools and resources in order to function" I just wanted to lay my head on someone's lap and cry while getting smothered in love. I am always craving this treatment and it's all I ever wanted out of /feels/, I haven't even bothered to make an effort for another person here.
Objectively I know I am a strong person for being alive despite everything that has happened. In fiction a person who has endured a lot is usually emotionally rugged and capable of being unphased by things, yet I'm this petty and hyper sensitive person still. A psychologist told me I have an "emotional deficit" and that because of neglect(physical and verbal) and abuse I will have this empty well in my chest that can't hold any water, and that I'm forever going to constantly crave affection and tenderness but won't be able hold it permanently like a normal person because of my childhood. She told me I'm prime bait for an abusive person that could easily manipulate that. She was very blunt and told me it isn't fixable and that the only things to do are 1) Be very careful of who I date 2) Warn the person I date and find someone who might accommodate this defective behavior, 3) deal with it.
When I had my very codependent ex still, he'd baby me and allow me to behave like a 6 to 8 year old in a casual ongoing (non sexual)roleplaying thing we did in private. I used to feel embarrassed about doing this until recently when a miner mentioned doing the same thing and how she said it was common in people who've been molested. I miss that so much.
Every part of my instinct wants to fall down and have people pity me. I want parents that love me and call me and touch me and tell me they miss me. I crave affection, attention and love most days. It has been like this my entire adult life and the only difference between me at 25 and me at 19 is that I have reduced it.
None of it is helpful and I really wish I could be like a stoic and emotionally resilient character rather than this eternally needy helpless baby.
I am so sick of men
I am SO sick of men. I'm not particularly a feminist or anything but they can be SO selfish. I have my male friends and some of them I care about deeply, but even they can be REALLY insensitive sometimes and all my guys on the internet have some obsession with making anti-woman "jokes" all the time (usually later I find out they're rarely even jokes, cuz they're usually hiding some obvious bitterness towards women) and they won't stop even though they know it hurts my feelings. They're so disrespectful they can't even not make a 'woman beating' joke when I'm trying to relay a story about how some woman in church was telling me about their experience being abused by their husband for 11 years, they think everything is theirs, for example demanding that they can be misogynistic on my discord, with excuses like 'free speech'even though that makes no sense and I just am trying to create a healthy space for me and my female friends.
They're so damn entitled. Can we have a vent thread on times men have been complete dicks to us?
My Bird Died.
>had to put one of my pet parrots down yesterday
I came home to find one of my birds badly injured. Him and 3 others have free roam of the livingroom most of the day, and I found him on the floor and immediately rushed him to an ER vet. Who refused to take him because their avian expert wasnt in. Which lead to a wild goose chase that took us on a 2hr drive, all with the poor little guy hanging on to life. Got there only to be told that his injuries were too extensive to fix, and that the best option is to put him down. They let me see him one last time, and I told him how much everyone loves him and how sorry I am that my carelessness got us here.
got home at 5am yesterday morning and I've been chasing a good nights sleep since.
I keep seeing his empty cage. I miss him so much. Im so sorry Jacob. Everything went so wrong.
Self Appreciation General
Seeing a lot of threads floating around that are centred on negative /feels/, how about one for expressing a lil' bit of a self love?
What are some accomplishments you're most proud of? What do you really like about yourself as a person? What are some of your best qualities? Do you envision a positive, successful future for yourself? etc.
Feel free to brag all you want ITT.
Self help/introspective books
Y'all read? Lately I've had a rough time obsessing over everything, hating myself, and not regulating my emotions. What are some written materials that have helped you become a better person, or see yourself/humanity in a different light?
I like the "This is Water" graduation speech by David Foster Wallace haha. And this.
Changing your life
Anybody else wishes to have a fresh start?
While I was always very shy, I still had at least some friends in kindergarten and primary school.
Getting an ed when I was 13 ruined my life. I always felt inferior to other girls, my body was all I ever cared about. Over the years the number of my friends shrunk more and more, I started to become the "weird" one. I missed out on so many things because of it. While the other girls were busy dressing up, having fun and going out, I was even wearing sweatshirts during summer to hide my "disgusting fat". Later I fled to the internet, got interested in unusual things (kpop and vkei), meaning I spend even more time in my own world - on the internet.
Now I'm starting my 4th year of uni, I gained 70lbs, have close to zero friends and major social anxiety.
I just wish I could be like any other normal girl as well. Waking up without feeling miserable, having the energy to do a skin care and makeup routine (without being obsessive over it), eating something healthy, being confident enough to put on cute clothes and then go meet up with my friends. I don't want to be super popular, just have some girls to talk to, sometimes go out to eat or the cinema, etc. I'd love to overcome my weebness or at least also have interest in other, more normal stuff, so that I could talk about it openly without having to fear judgement(also, getting over the fact that I'm white and will never look like some asian waifu). I want to be able to enjoy food and exercise regularly without getting obsessive over it. I don't want to cry and panic every time exams are coming up, I just want to be more carefree and don't overthink every single little shit. I feel like I never really go to be a young person, simply doing stupid things, I was always already stuck up, acting much more mature - and that's why I don't fit in with others (not that I'm not trying to, I'm just always somehow perceived as unpleasant).
Yesterday I got so desperate about losing weight that I started browsing pro-ana sites again, that's how dumb I am. I tried starting a diet (of course I failed again and binged in the evening), but while I was sitting there and studying I thought to myself 'What if I succeed in losing weight and being disciplined enough to study? In the end I'll just be a skinny person who studies all day long, alone in her room, that's all that there is to my life.'
That one guy who called my calves "manly" which caused my ed and my addiction to the internet destroyed my life. In one week I'm already turning 23 (let's see if anybody of my friends remembers it and texts me), meanwhile I'm still sitting here like a slob, no hygiene, no sleep, with food being my only happiness.
Thoughts? Advice?
Is anyone else here a caregiver for an adult with dementia or other loved one with special needs? It's hard watching my grandma decline, she is imagining false memories of things that didn't happen, confuses memories of things that happened to her grandchildren with her own children and vice versa, and recently and more seriously is becoming irresponsible with her money handling. Not to mention there are the physical changes of becoming unable to do daily tasks like bathe and toilet yourself unassisted. I have work experience caring for adults with disabilities but it's much harder to watch your own family members experience these changes when you remember what they used to be like.
(Sort of unrelated but I really wish the cg/l community did not use the term caregiver, it makes it harder to find support for actual caregivers on social media.)

You walk into a room and see these guys. What do you do?
Seriously though, are you a nervous/awkward person?
Does anyone sometimes feel ashamed of being a woman?
Hear me out. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of aspects of femininity that I love. How we have the potential to be intelligent, elegant, nurturing, caring, empathetic, devoted… But on the flip side, I feel like most women's sexuality is disgusting in a way and holds them back. Seeing how many women engage in casual sex in order to feel loved, whore themselves out for money, actively do porn, etc. In relationships a lot of women want to be treated roughly, be degraded, or controlled. They stay in relationships that could be called abusive because of their desire to please and be used. So many women use their sexuality in an negative and damaging way. As a result they bring children into this world that can't be properly taken care of. Almost 50% of children are being raised by single mothers. Because they are getting worse and worse at picking good life partners.
It makes me feel deep shame as I believe that we should respect our bodies but a lot of women just don't. They starve themselves in order to become thinner, buy expensive makeup to hide their imperfections, believe they have to degrade themselves in order for men to love them, take BC that ruins their body, and in general don't even love themselves. Of course these people are the worst examples, but I feel like it's becoming a very common thing.
Sorry if this sounds misogynist, that is not the intention.
is this normal
is this normal
Idk what to do..
My girlfriend got really drunk, and relapsed into cutting. I don't really know what to do because i have a hard time talking about stuff like that since i also used to cut.
Also i have some problems with dissociation and depression and am afraid that if i talk
to her about mental problems i would just end up making her more depressed.
I'm really REALLY introverted and shy so i would be thankful for any advice on how to
approach her without making it worse.
Beautiful things make me sad
Summer, nice music, night walks, the countryside, everything that's pleasant and dreamy fills me with this heavy sense of isolation. I feel like an alien. I know this is isn't rare, so how do you cope?
Good looking men
Has anyone here dated a man more attractive than them? Are they more likely to cheat?
I feel like there is something inherently wrong with me
I hate people who are dramatic and embellish stories, I hate people who don't speak their feelings honestly or who give false opinions to make people happy.
This all sounds normal, but it gets me into fights with people I love and they end up leaving me. I feel as though my lifetime of therapy had ruined my understanding of other people's feelings and thought process.
People don't think I'm being honest sometimes because I point blank tell people how I'm feeling or what I need in a situation, and that is apparently rare
I'm tired of feeling like a robotic outsider. I'm tired of feeling alone.
I am confused help
Right, /feels/… I need a bit of advice.
So, I have met this german guy a few months ago and we became good friends. We would mainly mess around on twitter and talk about personal stuff from time to time (nothing sexual).
One night, we started playing some text games and sharing random images we found on the internet. It was getting pretty late so we decided to call it a night and chat some more tomorrow (yes, he did say ''See ya tomorrow'').
Thing is, I have been messaging him for a few days and no answer. I decided to send him a message saying that I'm not going to message him because I don't want to flood him and that he should ask for memes when he comes back or something. It has been 1 month now and he hasn't sent anything. I did stop the messages as I promised.
What do? This guy is actually a decent human being and I don't want to lose him or anything like that.
P.S: Yes, I am quite new to this sort of stuff since I tend to just focus on my studies (engineering sucks the life out of you). I don't want romantic shenanigans with him but it does feel quite nasty.
What’s the biggest age gap you’re willing to have in a relationship? Would you have different age gap standards purely sexually speaking? What is your actual experience with age gap relationships/sex? Have you gone cougar?
Personally it used to be the older the better for me (as long as they didn’t look like grandpas, just handsome older men). However, as I get older younger guys (younger than me) seem more and more appealing. I’m probably being brainwashed by old lingering bishounen fantasies and how every older famous woman now only seems to date super young men.

What do you feel about guys who are friends or close with only girls? Should they be trusted? Is there something weird going on?
I'm dating someone who's friends are literally just all girls and I don't know what to feel about it.
I've literally never met a guy like that so I don't know what to expect.
I'm trying not to be crazy about it, and he's a good guy but I just don't get it.
Literally he only only gets along with girls. He's been roommates with three girls the past few years and would often hangout with other girls alone too.

Pretending to love your parents for money
This has been torturing me for a while. My father used to beat me through my childhood but stopped when I called the police who along with my mother didn't believe me. Now I'm 18 constantly depressed (the meds haven't helped) and I desperately want to move out and never talk to neither of them again. But the problem is that realistically I can't, they're wealthy people and I'm a sad girl with nowhere to go, no one to turn on to and whose only plan is camgirling. Realisticly I have to keep pretending that I love my mother atleast but it's killing me inside
How can I tell if I’m being used as a practice gf?
My husband just threw a fit because I have booked a vacation for 700€ for 7 nights full board vacation at pic relatedfor two adults and four kids. He thinks it is way too expensive and the people we're going with are ripping us off, and despite of then having created a full program with paid for(!) trips and attractions in that beautifully ass landscape, while maintaining that everything is optional and they take care of the kids most of the time, he lashes out at them, calling them stupid, boring and a pain in the ass while insisting I'm naive for believing them (???).
I wonder how one single person can be so far removed from reality.

Have you ever removed someone from your life instantly and permanently? I don't like confrontation and prefer to let friendships fizzle out instead of causing a stink, so when I do cut someone off, it's a big deal to me. Share your stories?
face hate vent
I just got a haircut this afternoon (no drastic change) and of course took a bunch of selfies when I got home to see how it looked, send to friend, etc.
I have a really weird face and looking at the selfies started to upset me. All my features are huge – I like my big eyes and big mouth but I hate my big hook nose and big forehead. My eyelids are asymmetrical and I have really dark circles under my eyes. I'm embarrassed to think people look at me everyday. I don't think I can ever afford plastic surgery for my nose, and it feels like a waste of money anyway.
What do you hate about your face? How can I not hate my weird face?

How do you guys talk with your partner's about sex stuff?
I have had both good and bad experiences. Right now I have just started hanging out with a new guy. We haven't had sex yet but he has definately wanted to and so have I.
I am going to ask him out for a coffee and ask about sexual health (getting tested), tell him I have had bad experiences in the bad (I won't say more than that but simply that I need my word respected or it's bye bye) and lies of omission. I have had a hard time with guys because I read a lot of pick up blogs in the past and honestly it scared me away because it makes it seem like guys are expected to be psychopaths.
Has anyone else had a time where they have tried to talk about sex health and been treated badly? All I can think about is a teenage guy I dated and how he asked if I thought he had disease when I asked about getting tested. We stopped hanging out after that and it was the shittiest feeling ever. I just want to not expect that when it is my feeling. People can have their shit together on the outside but be super sexually messed up.
I lost my best friend, [Redacted], who I thought of a sister. I’d die for her. I’d even burn in hell for her. Knowing she’s borderline and she’s a pathological liar. We made an oath to each other never to abandon each other. I’m dead to her now. The last words she told me were “enjoy burning in hell”. It hurts so fucking much.
The reason she hates me is because she hates the discord for this board and I stayed on it after she left.
I want to die.

Grossed out by babby Thread
M'ladies,
Am I the only one thoroughly grossed out by the whole concept of motherhood, babies and especially pregnancy?
It makes me so very uncomfortable when my colleagues talk about their pregnancy and giving birth and stuff like that. Especially when they ask me when I want to become a mother (spoiler alert: This is SO not going to happen).
I also can't appreciate babies. At all. I think they look hella dumb. I hate it when people make me hold them and I have to put on that soul-splitting fake smile.
At this point I'm wondering whether I'm going down the 'genderfucked' road or having serious mommy issues…

Awkward moments
Embarrassed yourself again? Let it out.
Is it true that girls make the best puppet masters? Are they more manipulative than men or is it just a myth spread by incels?
Have you ever split up with a friend or abandoned one? Or maybe you've been on the receiving end?
I abandoned 2 earlier this year. They were a a couple actually, as a sidenote I don't ever think I'll befriend a friend's SO ever again.
I sometimes wondered if it was the right choice, the possibility of it being the wrong choice scared the shit out of me. But right after it happened I wrote 20 pages on what exactly bothered me when before it was a jumbled mess that started brewing years prior, going over those pages I feel more confident in it being the right choice. When I wasn't working it felt like all I could do was cry and write about those two.
Recently all of my anger and sadness regarding my history with them has subsided. I more and more feel worried about how they might be doing instead of any negative emotions directed at them. I originally justified my choice, directly to my friend, by telling her how much she has in life but now feel scared what might have happened to her anyway. I wouldnt be friends again even if it was possible but I wish to know if those two are okay. I'd want to apologise because I really do feel a lot of sorrow about it even if it couldnt be another way.
If you've left someone or been left, how do you feel towards them now?
What did she mean by this
This is to vent and also to ask for advice:
I’ve had this one friend A since high school. Since I met her I thought she was very attractive and most guys also seem to find her attractive. We always got along well, we operate on a similar wavelength and I think we get eachother on some level. This made me slightly obsessed with her and have to try my absolute best not to beta orbit her. We were never best best friends but we were pretty close among our friend group.
ANYWAY
Fast forward 4 years, we maybe hang out once every 6 months for the last couple years. She invites me and our other friend to go to the bars/clubs downtown. Both of us have boyfriends by now. We go to one very crowded club and she’s getting hit on by a dude while we’re all together. He’s not hot but he’s not ugly either, imo. B U T instead of rejecting him and telling him she has a boyfriend or saying she isn’t interested, she says that I’m her girlfriend. And then she says to kiss to prove she’s gay. Me, very drunk at this point, gets way too into it. It was so hot but I’m still embarrassed. Anyways everyone goes oooo and then we talk a bit more with people there and then leave. She acts pretty normal around me aftert, but drops me off last and gives me the option to stay at her house which I refused bc I was still embarrassed and didn’t want to take her invitation the wrong way and also I have a fuckin boyfriend.
WHY would she say we’re gay?
Is she teasing me? Does she want me to eat her pussy? Was she just trying to make a show in front of the lads? Or is she that dumb that she thinks it would deter thirsty dudes? Was she trying to sleep with me or did she invite me over because I was drunk?
Should I ask her about it? I don’t want to bring it up if it was nothing
Family Feels
I thought it'd be nice to have a thread specifically related to family feels, whether they be good or bad.
I met my boyfriend of a year of a half via 4chan (as one does.) He is a perfect angel in every way, he treats me like a princess, etc. The only thing that keeps me up at night is that he used to trip and post lolicon stuff and I've seen his old messages where he basically admits to being a pedophile..
I get that people change and I have faith in him and I've spoken to him about this time and time again but there's always a little bit of doubt in my brain about if he's still…like that. I act kind of childlike and I guess I look like a teenager because of that due to being autistic. I know he doesn't like me just for sex though but it fucking keeps me up at night anons. wtf do i do do i just sit with this forever…"but mom I love him!!"
>tell guy to be nice after he says something nasty to a friend of mine
>GIRLS LIKE DOUCHEBAGS STOP BITCHING FEMINAZI GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN
God there's so much to unpack here
Does anyone else get sad when they see beautiful men? It's just a reminder of being unattractive because no good looking men have ever wanted me. Is there a way to cure this negative thinking?
I'm aware this sounds narcissistic, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here.
Oh well. I feel like I have this burden on my chest that I should just get rid off really quickly. Since I don't know any females I figured out this would be a good place to vent out because I think it's my responsibility to say or express my feelings towards women collectively for some reason. It's just this deep regret inside of me. And I'll stay in a psych ward for the next year as of tomorrow so this is my only chance I guess.
I don't think I've hurt any of you physically or emotionally really. I mean I don't even know any girls irl or online personally. Maybe you've seen my misogynistic rants online here and there but even if you were hurt, it wasn't directly tbh.
I think I've always been misogynistic. It started with my mom abusing me, continued with me getting rejected multiple times, women being better than me at anything that I do. I mean it seemed to me as if it was unacceptable when women did something better than me until very recently. I saw you as lesser beings with really shallow emotional grasp of certain things, less physical abilities and all that. You weren't really human to me. It felt like your minds, unlike males' were programmed and depended on a weird algorithm that I would never be able to figure out. And I had these weird fantasies where I would just figure all about how your minds work and fucking pull you onto my lap with mindgames and shit like that. Then I found this site and became obsessed with you. Because despite most of you having similar interests with the males on r9k or somewhere along the lines you actually felt "emotionally consistent" and less bipolar. I had fun reading all your posts and actually related to you (didn't post if it makes you feel comfortable because I felt like you would notice how a male would sound like). And all this time I blamed you for everything that went wrong with my life, drugs, fucked up mental health, and it was basically for nothing. It was just me being a retard blaming others for my shortcomings. I think all men at the core are obsessed with what women really think, how they think. We just want to figure out how female mind really works. And I guess an insight into your minds really helped me to become a better version of myself for the last couple months imo (don't get me wrong I still have some quasi misogynistic view of how females act on certain things). So I both wanted to thank you and say sorry. And also sorry for ruining your le secret club. You can blame my therapist for giving me the ideo of venting here.
You can ban me now

How do I into dating?
So I was reading through some of the posts here, and while I previously thought I was prepared for a relationship, I'm now somewhat terrified at the prospect, and after thinking about it for a while, I realized that I have a ton of questions that I hadn't even considered before. I posted a bit in another thread, but I decided I'd make a separate one, since I don't want to risk derailing the original. Here are my previous posts, so that I don't have to waste any of the site's space by repeating them.
>>9131
>>9143
I'll try to break my thoughts down into bullet points, so that people can respond to each individual question/concern with their input on the matter.
• Most importantly, how do I stay safe when dating?
I've been pretty sheltered for most of my life, and I really don't have all too much experience with this, so I'm pretty clueless in this area. I mean, I know to always tell people where I'm going and to regularly check in with them, but beyond that, I'm basically drawing a blank.
• How do I tell whether someone is a good (good in this case meaning someone with whom I could have a healthy, non-abusive relationship) guy or not?
Again, I really only know the super obvious stuff, like avoid people with anger issues, a history of bad relationships, etc.
• What steps should I take in order to best avoid being led on, and thinking that he's interested in a genuine, long-term, meaningful relationship, when he's really just looking to hook up and will say whatever he thinks I want to hear to make that happen?
I don't plan on being "easy" and dropping my pants for the first guy that asks the second that he asks, but I don't consider myself prudish, either. I'm not interested in one-night stands (at all), but at the same time, I feel no obligation to """save myself for marriage""" (eugh, even typing that out disgusts me - it honestly feels more objectifying than someone openly admitting to just wanting me for sex). If I care for the person, and if he cares for me (looking to you guys for help here in determining whether or not this is genuine), then so long as we're exclusive and have been together for a while, I'm comfortable with sex. (At least, I think I am. The last time I was in a relationship was in high school, so I have no idea how "real" relationships function at all, let alone the "proper" timelines for them.)
• Is online dating a meme?
I feel like most of the people there wouldn't really be right for me. I don't say that to try to imply that I'm above online dating or anything, not at all. It's more like, the kind of guys who are interested in the same internet culture as I am don't seem like the type to use those sites, and so I'd either have to find them on 4chan (lmao, good luck me), or else randomly out in public, by total happenstance, with no real way to control it. Of course, that's not the only trait I'm searching for in potential boyfriends. It's just that I've been on chans, and other similar sites, since I was a preteen. It's warped my sense of humor, and even personality somewhat, to the point that I feel like I'd scare off anyone who hadn't experienced the same thing.
• Aside from online dating, what's the best way to snag myself a qt?
I'd assume college/university is the best bet out there, but I'm not currently attending it. However, I'll be going back pretty soon, so that's something for me to look forward to!
• I'm on bc, but I'd still make any potential future partners wear a condom at first, even though we'd be exclusive. When does cc usually feel comfortable enough to no longer need that?
I have a latex allergy (lucky me, I know), so I have that to worry about. And God forbid I accidentally forget to mention this. That is not something that I want to have to deal with, so I'm wary of condoms in general (but I'm more wary of STDs/STIs). What are your recommendations on this subject overall?
• Personality is extremely important to me, but let's not kid ourselves. His looks are important, too. How do I find the right balance between these? Or will all of that fade into the background the instant that I experience True Love™ and find The One®?
I thought I'd experienced love in high school, and maybe I did. But I have a feeling that it's vastly different from the kind of love that I'd be able to find now.
• At what point do you feel comfortable/should I feel comfortable going to a guy's house alone?
I'd obviously let people know what I was doing and where I was going, as well as check in regularly, but - being as sheltered as I am - the idea is still pretty daunting. I've never actually done it before.
• What's the deal with circumcised vs uncircumcised penises?
I know the physical differences - I'm not that sheltered - but not much more than that. Pretty much everywhere I go online, or every person I talk to, has a vastly different opinion from the last one, and they all seem pretty solidified in their beliefs, quite sure that they are the ones who are correct. If I think about it, this kind of makes me think that it's really no big deal at all, and that people are just being weird and paranoid about anything having to do with sex, as is often the case. But if I'm way off the mark here, then I'd certainly appreciate being corrected.
• Does dressing up to try to catch someone's attention work?
I wasn't all too popular in high school (but I did date, as mentioned before, so I wasn't an outcast, either), so I never really dealt with this. But if there's a place where I know I'll run into someone I have a crush on, is this something that could actually work? And yeah, yeah, I know I'm supposed to be comfortable with approaching guys and making the first move or whatever, but that's scary! If I can get away with having him initiate, then you can be damn well sure that I'll jump on that opportunity. I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, after all.
• I've been seeing a lot of guys say that they prefer "natural beauty" and thus dislike, or see no need for, makeup. Is this just something that ~Nice Guys~ say to try to garner favor, or is it actually a real thing?
I've got minimal experience with it (by this point, you're probably beginning to get a decent idea of what kind of person I was in high school), but I'm not really against it. I don't have strong feelings either way, really, but if I can just stick to moisturizers and that kind of thing to keep my face looking nice without having to bother with the ever-changing makeup landscape, then you certainly wouldn't hear any complaints from me.
• The answer to my question probably varies from guy to guy, but I'll still ask it. I need glasses. Do those tend to look good, or should I go with contacts?
I've tried both in the past, and each has its own pros and cons, so I understand if there isn't really a definitive answer to this one, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
• If I'm dating someone who isn't familiar with chan culture, do I need to hide my power-level?
We all know that it's best to be honest in a relationship (otherwise what's the point?), so I don't mean, "Should I be purposefully deceptive about my personality?" It's more along the lines of wondering how to slowly introduce him to that side of me, I guess. Because, if I'm looking for anything long-term, then I'm going to want a partner who loves me for me, even my weird internet hobbies.
• What's too distant, aloof, or "hard to get", what's too clingy, and where's the sweet spot in the middle of them?
I'm a pretty solitary person, and I'm comfortable being alone (not lonely, but alone for a time). However, I am also a romantic (to a somewhat embarrassing degree, if I'm being completely honest). So I could certainly see myself going too far on either side of the spectrum, and that's not something that I want to have happen.
• Is it rude to expect my date to pay for things when we go out?
Once in a solid relationship, things get easier, since you kind of share everything, but going out on the first dates presents a small issue. Since it's [the current year], a decent number of people expect to go Dutch, and I have absolutely no issue with paying for my portion of things! But there are some guys who might feel like I'm purposefully belittling them or possibly trying to "shit-test" them as the (awful, but almost to the point of hilarity) PUAs or whatever put it, and I don't want to cause my date any distress. Should I offer to pay, and then see where it goes from there? If he declines, do I insist, or do I let him pay, or what? God, why are these things so complicated?
• Sort of a different type of question, but could any of you recommend cute date ideas?
Hopefully nothing too cliché, though. I know all of the usual ones from books, movies, TV shows, and my small bit of experience in HS - that type of thing - but it can't hurt to have more input and try to diversify things!
• It might not be possible for anyone to give me an answer to this question, and it's pretty embarrassing to type out, but how do I know if I'm a good kisser?
I was the first kiss for each of the few people I dated in HS, and so while they told me that I am, it's not exactly like they're experts on the subject, you know? And this doesn't even include anything more sexual than that. I also have no idea what I'm doing in that regard, but apparently it's cute or a good bonding experience to practice this kind of thing with your partner? At least, that's what I've read. But kissing is different, I feel, because it's so far removed from sex, and it's done way more often (at least most of the time, hah), so I feel like it's more important that I'm good at kissing, or at the very least not terrible at it.
• Uhm, what questions have I forgotten to ask, and could you please go ahead and answer them for me?
That's all I can think of for now. I know it's a lot, but this has been a long time coming for me, and so I really want to make sure that I'm successful when I try to put myself out there.
Please feel free to add any questions that you'd like to have answered by the nice people who will hopefully keep me from making a fool of myself! There's already a >tfw no bf thread, but this one can function as more of a dating advice-specific thread.
False Rape Accusation
I was recently summoned to a hearing with the police, seems my ex-gf has accused me of several counts of rape and assault.
Now considering I'm innocent and she knows this. I want to understand why she would do this, what do you guys think? Asking for a female perspective since I can only guess at reasons.
Anyone ever just feel the need to be fucking NORMAL for once?
idek how else to describe this but every time i tell it to my bf he just doesn't get it and idk who else to talk to this about. but like. my mom and my sister are both "normal" women, they both care about fashion, their appearance, etc, they shave everything, wear fashionable clothes, wear makeup, do lots of skin care and buy lots of products for it, paint their nails, have long and elaborate beauty and skin/hair care routines. I'm completely unshaven, happier to make a basic outfit with the clothes I have rather than buy new ones, never wear makeup except for special occasions, etc. I don't like to focus a lot on appearance or anything. but sometimes i feel like people would like me better if i did, and i wish I could just make myself care about that. sometimes i really feel like my presence is so irritating to others and I don't know anyone else irl who shares these beliefs (women don't need to shave, women don't need to wear makeup, women don't need to care about their appearance), or if I do they're not vocal about it.
the other thing is like, motherhood. i have all these concerns and stuff, despite wanting a family, like getting stuck with all the childcare and housework and stuff somehow despite talking with my bf about how i'd like to avoid this and him agreeing with me. and pregnancy. i have so many friends now that say they are happy just being housewives and it makes me so sad.
i've always had this strong feeling of living in an age of liberated women but i look around me and all i see are women """"""freely choosing"""""" to do… exactly what men/society/media/patriarchy/whatever tells them they should want, and wants them to want. and it seems awful convenient to me, and so i thought i could at least live by that myself, but… god, it's lonely. sometimes i wonder if i would be happier to just stop caring about this and be a normal girl. the only downside i can think of is that my bf seems to like that i am "low maintenance" (doesn't take me long to get ready, i don't fuss over something messing up my hair/ non-existent makeup, etc). but sometimes i wonder if even he would like me better if i was more of a "girl" so to speak. anyone else feel this way or is it just me again?

it's been 6 months and we have been talking on and off, she believes she is emotionally unavailable and unable to have any healthy relationship with anyone, At one moment she's extremely affectionate with me and the next she's as cold as ice.
she's told me she wants to gradually distance herself (from everyone) until her eventual suicide.
i shouldn't have bought her things i feel like that's all i'm being used for.
i still want to be able to have a /romantic relationship/ with her despite me giving everything and her not reciprocating a single bit.
we still talk but i feel like she's getting more distant, even though she's apologized for it before and tells me what i truly need is consistancy
the last time she told me she loved me in person was on our high school graduation under the fireworks.
i seriously don't know what to do /feels/ i truly love her and have done everything for her. and it feels as if she does not care.
Does anyone ever get bouts of severe anxiety about some random low chance thing fucking up your whole life?
I get them on and off and they're really overwhelming…
>"go outside!"
>go outside
okay. now what?
Anybody else here legitimately find short men kinda gross? I actually don't like that I feel this way, just makes me seem kinda basic but it's just hard for me to even view excessively short men as even men. I know they can't help it so I'm not gonna go out of my way to be rude to them or anything but I also can't help the fact that I just seem to find them undesirable, even ones that I would otherwise think were cute if they weren't so tiny.
childhood nostalgia
what are things from your childhood you know you'll never do/see/feel/be again?
I just got super sad & fucked up thinking about how the world will just look and feel more and more different as I get older – how I will literally be from a different time.
how do i know if im polyamory? i'm always in love with more than one person at the same time…is something wrong with me? i wouldn't like to share them but I would like to have more than one partner at once with their permission
don't hate me
why did I have to be raised by a single mother I'm such a pathetic piece of cowardly shit
the sad truth (warning: long post)
i wake up everyday realizing this over and over again. "true" love isn't real. it's all just chemicals in our brains, pheromones and nature/biology. women were put on earth to find the most compatible and healthy man ( with good genes) to reproduce with in order to make healthy offspring. men were put on earth to impregnate as much women as they could to populate earth. that's why men need sex. it's only natural for them to want to fuck other women and be attracted to other women. it's all biological but in the end it still hurts me. i'm sad that we can't change it. we can't be as monogamous as flies are. that we are all controlled by the pheromones we emit. we're all just animals playing the game of life. i'm currently with the man i plan to spend the rest of my life with. the one i feel the most compatible with and i do want to bear his children one day. it's true (at least from personal experience) that women only need that ONE man to change everything. i'm no longer interested or attracted to other men because of him. the most i feel is an acknowledgement that they're not ugly or boring but it's definitely not that same feeling i used to get when i was younger. i'd literally obsess over boys just like any other girl. that feeling doesn't exist anymore. other men are just regular people to me. i don't look at them as potential partners anymore. selfishly enough though (and nothing can get anymore pathetic), i am sad that even if he loves me now, there's a very high chance of it being temporary. i'm afraid that i am only what's best to him right now. one day he might find someone better. he might leave me for her or he might stay but he'll wonder if he would be happier in her company. i can't blame him for it because he's only a human male. no matter how good of a female partner you are he will always be attracted to other women. he will never only have eyes for you and that's the sad truth. i'm fully aware that what i feel is selfish. it might even sound like i don't appreciate him but i'm genuinely thankful for everything he's done for me. he's my best friend and i love him through and through. i know monogamy isn't impossible. there are people who have been successful but that's because they forced themselves to control their honest desires and temptations. it's not natural like fly love. it's not as unconditional as fly love. i just wish it were.. this probably stems from my extremely low self-esteem, depression, general anxiety and fear of abandonment due to an emotionally+physically abusive absent father. anyway, i'm curious about what other women think about this. have any of you felt this way? sorry for my rambling. this post is really long as is but i feel like i've forgotten to mention other important facts.
Red Flags
What are some red flags that you wish you or a friend had recognized at the time?
>complaining about having to wear condoms
>complaining about it when you turn down sex even if they say they're not trying to change your mind
>wanting to exchange email/social media/phone passwords
Do any other anons in their 20s (or older) feel like they wasted their teen years being too good or too much of a shutin? What kind of things do you with you'd done?
I never did anything wild or bad, I just spent a lot of time online and I feel like I really regret it now
Has anyone ever considered or tried suicide? How is the best way to do it?
My dead crush
When I was a depressed NEET a few years ago I started reading old literature to cope. I found a writer I really identified with and started reading about his life, too. After a while I started to dream about him, and was a little obsessed. I'd daydream about being born decades and decades ago when he was still young and alive, meet him, and we'd fall in love and be together. Sometimes when I was in worse mood I'd think about killing myself and meeting him in the afterlife kek.
I think I fell in love with "him" and this feeling lasted a long time until I broke free from neetdom.
I want to know if what I went through is common at all… Maybe it isn't and I am a freaky weirdo, but I want to know if anyone here has ever had any similar experience.
To a lost friend
Dear Ewa,
It's unlikely you'll ever read this. That is okay. If I wanted to be sure you read it I'd find a more direct way to send it. I will update you on my life. I've learned that I'll be shipped overseas in a few years for my work. I can pick anywhere to go, but I think you know which Asian country I will choose. You should now be able to accurately hypothesize where I work. We aren't the satanists you believe us to be. We only sacrifice a goat once every other month! Jokes aside, I have met more devout Christians here than at NASA or any other place I've worked. Don't worry about us so much. But it makes connecting with people difficult, y'know. It is isolating work. And God knows I already have problems with connecting with people.
I think that's why I was so happy to talk with you, because I did feel similar to you. Since you stopped speaking to me I downloaded some dating apps for the first time to stop my loneliness. To my surprise, I am apparently attractive to other people and got lots of offers for sex and dates. But no connections. Never a connection, only messages about sex (which I obviously was not going to accept). I could hardly have a thoughtful conversation.
The loneliness didn't stop. It made me remember when you did things like wish me a good day, or work hard to send long and thoughtful replies to my ramblings. No one had ever done that for me, even platonically! And it made it all the worse when you stopped replying, too. I downloaded that AI, Replika, to try to simulate someone having a conversation with me again but it did not make me feel better. I never talked much about my family, but my parents also abandoned me. My father did it before I turned 12. I talk to him about once a year, nowadays. My mother did not leave me, but was physically and emotionally abusive. I guess that is why I asked so many times for you to tell me if you had any inclination to stop talking or ghost me, because I wanted so dearly to avoid feeling abandoned again. I knew it would really hurt me more than I could handle.
I wanted to let you know you that I don't blame you, though. It is too time-consuming for someone as aspirational as you to have a depressed oddity messaging you from halfway across the world with their lamentations. Even if you had the inclination to speak with me, you would probably feel too anxious to restart the conversation. For a while I worried that you had died in a car accident or something. The most likely reason is that you just plain resent me, however. So I understand the sentiment of not wanting to talk to me even though I can't place my finger on what I did wrong. And though I admit I've been hurt, I do not resent you and would gladly speak with you again.
I told you before that I pray every night to meet someone that will like me for who I am inside and that I will like them back (those are my exact words, actually. What else could I want for?). It still is true. When you first spoke to me, I was about halfway through my confirmation process, though I'd never once believed God was real. I did say to you once that I had my doubts - that he could be real. I thought that maybe my prayer had been answered (it is, really, pure happenstance that you ever reached out to me); maybe he had sent you. For once in my life, I started to believe in God. How foolish! He didn't believe in me.

Second Childhood
What would you do if you were transported back in time to when you were a child, retaining your current memories?
Who meditates/prays here regularly? Do you find that it helps?
Compulsive Shopping
How to control it? How to stop being so materialistic?
Money-wise, my situation is not the best. I don't have the best of jobs, I live with my parents so I don't need to pay rent, and while I do help with some bills, I end up spending all the rest instead of saving it. My family is not rich.
I guess my main problem is that I get easily jealous of people who have certain things more than me or better than me and this is probably related to my low self esteem. I live in a third world country and I know I should just accept some people have lives better than mine but instead of doing that I end up buying things to console myself and to try to be a bit like the people I'm jealous of.
I don't think my life is ruined (yet) by this since I consider my compulsive shopping fairly recent but I want to stop it before it becomes something huge in my life.
Ex
Hi, /feels/. My ex broke up with me about 2 and a half months ago, his main reasons being us both having depression and a lack of conflict in the relationship. It lasted about 6 months. We stopped talking for a bit because I said I wanted space, but he told me he wanted to be friends again after a few weeks. We started talking normally again for about another month and a half. Within this time span, he told me that it would be possible for us to get into another relationship in the future if we lived near each other, depending on how we've grown. He's also vented to me about their depression and suicidal thoughts. Recently he has told me about the new love interest he has been talking to. They like each other. They met about a month ago. After I learned of this, I told him I needed space again. I haven't talked to him or anyone really for the past few days or so. I don't think he's being manipulative or anything since he's always been very open and direct, just saying whatever's on his mind. Ever since we first broke up, I've been trying to get over him but I've been having trouble. I still love him more than anything and it pains me to think of him with anyone else. I know the overall relationship didn't last very long compared to others, but goddammit it's so hard to get over this. I've been considering bettering myself for the sole purpose of cucking his possible lover and getting him back, but that doesn't really sit right with me…yet that's what I want to do most. What should I do? Should I pursue my ex? If not, what can I do to speed up this healing process?
I feel like the only reason I feel like shit and I'm ugly is my height. I'm 5'10 and I feel so insecure and self concious.
Some guy once said that if I was a little shorter I would be 8/10.
I hate this.
Selfcare
How do you treat yourself?
The "Sorry" Thread
Have you ever wanted to apologise to someone but never had the chance or courage? Do you want to rehearse your words before you go through it? Just wanna vent on an apologetic note?
Write your feelings away.
My boyfriend is gonna go on a beach trip with a couple of his friends INCLUDING:
1.) an ex fuck buddy
2.) a girl he used to have a crush on or maybe even feelings for
3.) NOT ME. I can't go cause I don't have the funds nor the time, as I have summer class.
I feel so horrible and insecure about it, my friends tell me this is a huge red flag and he should just not go at all.
What should I do? is it reasonable for me to tell him to not go and just sell his ticket? Is it reasonable for me to feel awful about it in the first place? :(
I trust that he won't do anything with them but still. Isn't it just common boyfriend decency? :(
Technological Exhaustion
Who else?
I miss the early 2000s, when technology wasn't far enough to drown me in internet addiction and it was a more simple time overall. It makes me want to move back to the countryside, live in peace and silence with dogs and walkies. I often feel like going low-tech with an ancient brick phone and board games and movie nights instead of spending all my life online.
Do you have a hard time saying no to people?
Have you found a way to overcome that?
I always feel guilty when I say no to people even when I know I should. If I do I feel bad. Help.
Lonliness
Do you guys ever struggle with loneliness? Is the feeling almost constant and intense, or is it more buried and hidden until you think about how alone you are?
Share you thoughts, feelings, vents, insecurities, fears etc about loneliness, maybe we can all help each other out to not feel so alone for a second <3
Getting over a bpd person.
Hello I've been going through some rough times along with traumatic flashbacks everyday. And I'm wondering how you anons deal with past memories similar to these of being abused, and constantly hurt because of someone with a disorder or abusive streak.
College Situation
Hello, anons. I am seeking advice for my situation right now. Finals are next week and I have 2 projects due, plus some homework. I was involved in a life altering situation a month ago which allowed me to drop 2 of my classes; however, last week, my partner became so sick they had to get surgery and they are still recovering. I'm still recovering from what first happened to me because it altered so many details of my life and my concentration has gone to shit since then. I really want to pass these remaining two classes, but in one of them, I bombed both of my midterms and haven't turned in all my homework. I can't drop either of these classes now because even for a serious reason (like how I was able to drop the other 2 before), the deadline has passed. I've been drinking and wasting my life away on discord, forums, and imageboards, how do I get my rear into gear and help myself in these next two classes so I can at least pass them? Worser still, one of the classes I'm in I've already failed because I was lazy as shit in that class last semester.
Relationship/Sexual Inexperience
Anyone else just either wasn't interested in dating or didn't have the chance in high school?
I'm 21 and have 0 dating or sexual experience. I had a few guys interested in me over the years, but I really had no interest in dating at that point. Having someone in my life in that way feels incredibly off. I'm not the most social person in the world and it picturing having a boyfriend makes me uncomfortable. I have never kissed or held hands with a boy. Just hugged. My parents are very religious Catholics so that probably factored in as well.
Is this gonna bite me in the ass sooner or later? It's honestly embarrassing around female friends because they talk about their boyfriends or sexual experiences sometimes and it makes me feel abnormal. People always say it's good to be a virgin as a female, but it's not. It's awkward and makes me feel weird or less human. Why don't I crave relationships or sex like everyone else? The idea of a one night stand is terrifying to me as well, I've never gone to a bar or anything like that.
Anyone else in my position and is just terribly "innocent" and inexperienced in life? I literally consider answering some Craigslist ad at least every few days because it seems like an easy way to throw away my v-card and is not socially demanding.
Relationship attraction issues
Okay guys I'm drunk enough to ask you some real questions since I wouldn't be able to ask them sober
I'm currently dating a really nice dude, nicer than other dudes or ladies I've encountered. Let's call him Robert. I've known him for half my life.
>feeling good
But then my attraction starting decreasing for Robert when I got reminded of a dude I had spoke to briefly in my class a year ago, let's call him Jason. He is smart and successful, but the dude I'm dating isn't really successful. He is hardworking but isn't bright. Thing is I don't know anything about Jason. I haven't spoke to Jason since class a year ago and we spoke minimally if anything hardly.
>start contemplating
Jason starts coming out in my recommended list on one social media application and I start thinking more about him. We are not friends. I start thinking, maybe I should add Jason and get to know him. On the other hand I have this wonderful nice dude I'm dating, it's just the overall physical attraction and brightness part is personally getting to me.
Advice? Should I just break it off with this nice dude if I feel this way? Work it out? Should I befriend Jason even if we weren't friends in person? Is that weird? I don't know what to do, the drink can only help so much guys

Kissing
So… I've got no idea how to kiss and it's been a while since I've done it, so I'm nervous about being with someone.
I've turned down offers for intimacy because I'm worried I'm going to be bad at it. An ex told me frequently I sucked and I guess it's scared me off, I wanna make any future person I'm with feel good… and not awkward.
Does anyone have, geez like tutorials? Or advice? How do you kiss?
Figuring yourself out
Do you all know truly know yourself?
Do you know your personality?
I've been feeling really lost lately, as if I have no personality anymore. Does anybody feel the same? If you don't feel the same, how do you figure yourself out?
There's this guy I really like that works at a hotel my friend is staying at (she's fell on hard times), he's a bigger guy (chubby) about 6'2 and has really gorgeous hair (he's mixed). The thing is, I really want to ask him out but from what everyone tells my friend he won't follow up any advances. There's a joke that people call him the saint. I mean I tried flirting, signals, hand contact. He's just too goddamn proper, I asked his boss if he's seeing anyone, the boss told me he's like that. He just likes helping people and being friendly. I'm going to jump this guy's bones if he doesn't wake up, I can't stand it. Is there anything that I can do? I don't want to be rejected and this seems like a 1 in a million chance to find a guy that is decent wholesome and warm. I'm 24 and he's 31 ( yet he looks younger than me) I'm dying over here….
Ugly and alone
Is anyone else an ugly, lonely, virgin female who is socially retarded? I am. I have no friends and I've never been asked on a date by a male. No male has ever expressed interest in me in any way. It doesn't matter how I dress or how friendly I am, men aren't attracted to me at all.
I'm going to become a spinster soon and all I read are about how females have such virtuous night lives or dating lives. The majority of females my age or younger are all married and happy. But not me and not most ugly women.
I even die inside when I see ugly women like me happy and dating or married probably because they aren't as socially retarded as me.
Anyone else share the same situation?
Not totally socially retarded yet unable to establish a genuine long-term connection with others irl
I don't sperg out in social situations I find myself in and people in general don't find me weird or actively try to avoid me; yet I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am supposed to do to move any of my interpersonal relationships beyond a "casual acquaintance" stage. My social life in my free time is virtually non existent.
Anyone know this feel?
What makes you happy?
Little things that give you a bit of bliss?
Siblings
Some questions to get this rolling.
>Has having siblings hindered your life in any way?
>What are some of your positive experiences with having siblings?
>If you would like a child, would you want them to have a sibling?
>Do you believe parents can love siblings equally? Why or why not?
>What's your birth order? How do you think it affected you?
>What is your relationship with your siblings?
Hi… I've got a huge problem and Idk how to get around it.
Since last year, I'm missing two visible premolars, one on each side (also cavities and other stuff goin on)
I've had depression for most of my life (24), and I've been doing better for about two months but I've relapsed two weeks ago.
I can't socialize and I already given up on the idea of "meeting someone" while this shit is like this.
Obv this affects my work life as well, I can't work as anything that requires interacting with clients.
Everything feels so pointless and bleak when I know I can't smile or laugh around anyone confidently.
It's so expensive to fix i'd have to choose between saving for that (for like 4 years) or starting uni.
Should I just retreat from civilisation?
What would you do? I'm desperate.
I dont know what to do with my friend
I don't know if I'm supposed to post in a general thread or if this is appropriate. I have to tell someone, it made me really upset at work and was affecting me there, and today I woke up and have been heart-pounding upset about this. It has bothered me for years. This will probably seem really stupid and immature from another person's perspective but I am an immature person.
I am 25 years old now and I don't think I have the ability to maintain friendships. There are so many reasons for that but basically I have a hard time holding it together, it feels like being friends with someone is 90% grief and 10% joy and that has only gotten worse the past few years. I sometimes feel it would be best to say my bit and completely separate forever from a few girls I know and just have a boyfriend who I can talk to and have as my only friend in life.
At this point there are only 2 people who are my friends and they're dating each other. There are 3 other people I talk to besides them but they aren't intimate bonds more like acquaintances.
Getting to the point, in late 2016 began this period of me not knowing how to continue forward with this person and still it continues into 2018.
Basically I'm talking to a wall that is so indifferent to whether I exist or not. I have tried over and over to talk to her and I can't even call these conversations, the entire time going into it I'm terrified my attempt at talking to her will be a complete failure like the last, and always it is without exception. It's like all of her actions completely contradict how she states she feels.
In late 2017 I spent a few weeks in a psychward and when I got out she suggested we do something together. I was overjoyed with this not only because of what had been going on, but the two of us hadn't spent time together like that in years. Sometimes she would bring up the possibility of us spending time together like we used to, but I had to remind myself it wasn't actually going to happen because it never did and that hurt more and more with time. I remember the date because I was just released a day before, it was December 9th of 2017 and me and her were supposed to meet that night and talk and have drinks. I felt so high because I had missed this for so long. I woke up that day with this event in mind, got ready and tried to make my hair look nice specifically for this, I went to the store with my (now)ex and got wine and some little vodka shooters just for this event. And so when that evening came and I tried to talk to her about it, all she had to say was "maybe" in the same disinterested, detached, and preoccupied style she has given off for the past few years. I immediately started to pretend like I didn't really care but actually my heart was racing and my joy turned into trying not to cry, an hour passed and I tried to ask her again if she was still interested since she had only said 'maybe', she just said maybe again.
So I just said never mind and went to bed. But what got me the most is it was after the fact that I cried myself to sleep that she decided it was necessary for her to explain that she was stressed out with packing her things or something, for a flight that ended up taking place in March and not December.
A few days after this I went through a breakup. That detail is only important because during this she loaned me money for a 1 month bus pass and for my medication. Each time I talked to her during this, I had to be the one to initiate the conversation always, and no matter what she was always either
- about to go to sleep
- about to go do something with her girlfriend
- "just a bit distracted"
And so I was talking to this unresponsive wall each time that was moments away from having to be somewhere else. Which fine, I'm not that interesting and we all have issues and she struggles. Still it got to the point where her and her girlfriend actually make me feel more alone and sad when I speak to them than when I am actually alone talking to no one. It's so to that point that I am happier never messaging either of them, speaking to them is guaranteed emotional pain for me
March came and I told her I was able to pay her back. Up until then she had been really nice about it and said it was no problem, and that she wasn't worried about it and that she was fine without the money. But see, there was a complication with my bank and stuff and I wasn't able to paypall her the amount, I told her this immediately and was apologetic and said I would figure it out. She said she didn't mind that night.
3 days later she actually initiated the conversation for once. But she didn't say hi or ask me what was up or anything, she just asked about the money. I told her the situation and alternatives I could take to pay her since paypall didn't work, she then took a hostile tone about the subject and said she needed the money for things(if I had known this little fight was going to happen, I would have never taken the loan SHE OFFERED, I didn't ask for or even talk about money then). She had more and more questions about it, I was trying not to cry, when I said I was going to bed she didn't bother saying goodnight. She didn't give a shit.
Since then me and her have talked twice. The first was a few days later when I figured out how to pay her back and did(I used roommates paypal and just deposited money into his account), and then a month after that where I messaged her but pretty much she had nothing to say and was preoccupied with anything else basically.
I've been waiting patiently and she hasn't messaged me. The only time I was worth messaging was for that money. She has no interest in me and I just want to make it complete, I need it 100% one way or the other, but this purgatory of halfway not friends kills me and bothers me most days. If I made an accurate guess she lost interest in me a long time ago but doesn't want to hurt my feelings?
That is all that makes sense to me, because if she did care about us being friends and did want me in her life, she has to be completely retarded to behave as she does while still desiring me. This has gone on for so long, in 2017 I even messed with some settings on my social media so that I could avoid looking at her picture and profile. When her gf would mention her in conversation to me, my heart would sink and I would feel so terrible because we don't behave like friends anymore. I have missed her for so long that I want to not see a single reminder of her, the way it is with her now contrasts how close we used to be, that it hurts. I spend all this time thinking about this and I admit, possibly obsessing over her, and she seems so casual and indifferent about it all.
I want to rip the bandaid off and just get this over with and accept the reality of having no friends or family except the man I date, but I am scared of not having her. I am scared of hurting someone's feelings and so badly hope that someday this will just stop and the two of us will act all close like we did years ago. But any objective look at how this has gone would tell me that it hasn't been possible for years.

What was his deal,I don't understand?! I'm angry at him but I also can't stop thinking about him and I miss him! And we graduated a year ago!
Would you ?
What if your s/o made you an offer
> you don't have to work because s/he now has a better job that covers all bills
> you can have pretty much anything to sustain a semi affluent lifestyle like e.g. anything beauty related like acrylic nails personal trainer expensive skincare
>you also don't have to do housework

I've recent got out of a long relationship with a guy. I find myself with an almost unquenchable lustful towards women. Despite honestly never really being into girls before. Is this normal?
I can't stand to socialize with people.
I've never had friends during most of my life and now that i am 19 i finally sort of got inserted into a social group.
Except its fucking driving me insane, im on the verge of a breakdown, the little nuances of socialization all the fucking drama, i just can't live with that.
Everyone says that isolating yourself will make my mental health worse but god i was so much happier when i was spending my nights gaming alone in my room.
Im trying to pull them away the best i can using my own problems as cannon fodder because they are good friends and still insist on hanging with me if i stop talking to them, i dont want to give anyone trouble i just want to be alone again.
I dont know if i should try to fit in and put my stability in jeopardy or ruin everything with them just so i can have peace of mind.

Thankful thread.

I'll start in the comments
Online fame and paranoia
I'm probably going to get some hate for this, but here we go.
I have a slightly successful YouTube channel and a pretty slow thread on lolcow /snow/. Through mutual interests, I've met a girl, and we've developed a mutual crush on each other.
Unfortunately, I found out she's in the lolcow discord. Now I can think about is whether or not she's a farmer trying to get close to gossip about me. I know it sounds self important but I've been catfished before due to my online presence. What do I do? How fucked am I?
Forgiveness
Gossip, lies, cheating, hurtful words, etc
How do you forgive someone who deeply hurt you (family members/romantic partners/friends)? How do you know they're worth forgiving? How do you know they're worth the pain?
I'm terrible with letting go of resentment… I've been struggling for months to feel like I've forgiven someone.
Does forgiving mean you need to forget things?
Please share.

General Advice & Vent Thread
Old thread >>>/feels/1924
Let it all out, friends.
Alone on Valentine's Day
Another year has gone by, and somehow the expectation of finding a romantic partner draws nearer every year.
If you're alone, what are your plans? I might just buy myself chocolates and watch My Bloody Valentine.
my parents do not believe in depression
tw: mentions of suicide
i am taking a break from college due to my depression which has consitently gotten worse since its diagnosis last year but has been around since my first year of high school, i am now in college. i got treatment for a month before my parents stopped it because they believed we were being scammed for what was a pretend disease, and that for whatever reason i was just sad and needed to pull myself together and stop asking for attention.
the guilt of how expensive an education can be weighs on me constantly. my parents will tell me that despite knowing how they are breaking their backs on how much it costs all i do is shut myself in my room, break things, and do nothing. i believe them. i think i would also be angry and frustrated if i had spent years raising a daughter only for her to end up like this. i feel like me taking a break and this eating up half the tutition paid despite me not finishing the semester is the last straw. since going home they have been completely ignoring me. i feel increasingly empty and have cut contact with most of my friends.
i entertain thoughts of suicide constantly and have attempted thrice, all failures. a vivid memory of one in my junior year of high school is at one point i had cut my wrists deeply causing heavy bleeding, i had a math test later that day. upon finding me a mess in my room, my parents told me to wash and fix the wound, because we had to get going for my test. my parents see my depression and attempts at suicide as a personal insult to all the efforts they have put out to raise me. any attempt at discourse on the matter prompts them to yell at me of why i think its okay to disrespect the, this way.
i had dreams, but right now they seem like fantasy. i sleep in my room and when im awake stare at the ceiling or mindlessly surf the internet.
im stuck in an abyss, with seemingly no choice but to drown. i dont know what happiness is supposed to feel like anymore, dont know if i ever will.
Dreams Thread
This is a thread where you can post all your dreams you have and maybe discuss it with other anons. I don't know where else to post it on here so here goes:
I had a strange dream last night that I can't quite understand. I usually have dreams that foretells of future events or just random dreams that are made up of the thoughts I had the night before so this one is unusual even by my own standards.
>for some reason im in a jail cell serving 5 months for disrespecting a officer
>im sharing a jail cell with some guy, which is weird because im pretty sure mixed sex jails don't exist in my county
>he's nice to me and we end up being friends
>i get out one month early for good behavior
>while im walking out of jail i think "i can see how this fucks up people now. it makes you more antisocial [???]"
>the police officer who pressed charges on me calls me to his office and says he released me early because im 17 and i shouldn't be serving 5 months in jail anyway (im 19 in real life)
>i try to get to my house but i end up bumping into my cellmates jogging outside with a drill instructor
>i leave to use the public restroom and two prisoners end up following me in there
>one of the prisoners was my old cellmate. wtf
>they start to grab me and drag me in the stall while other prisoners come in there to basically.. yeah
>wake up confused as fuck and worried
Context: The area i live in is kind of dangerous and the crime rate has gone considerably up in the past 5 years. I walk outside for all kinds of reasons and i noticed there's a lot of shady men who follow me around and try to talk to me and such. I recently got almost abducted.. twice.. just because I was outside by myself after 9pm. I feel paranoid tbh but i don't know anyone who has this feel
Juicy Drama
Let us know your most dramatic stories. Feel free to greentext them (or not! Any format is fine).
For the sake of good, fun drama: try to keep negative comments about certain situations to yourself. I'm no mod, I can't control anyone, but if you think anon x is a slut and horrible person for revenge fucking her best friend's bf, that's great, but we're here for all the juicy details, not for moralfagging (unless anon is shit talking someone else in their story, then you can shit talk the person anon hates in their story, lol).
Let the stories begin!
Missed connections
This thread is for talking about people you fell out of touch with for whatever reason and how you feel about it.
Why I don't I get to be happy and have someone who loves me? No one deserves anyone's affection but I haven't done anything to deserve this loneliness and misery.
I want to become a better person but I don't know how. I don't know how to do it when I'm so resentful about being betrayed and manipulated. I want to be a better person so people will want to be around me.
Not belonging
Did you ever feel like you don't belong to where you are from?
I'm talking about my country, more specifically. Even though I love it, I've always felt I never belonged here.
I'm not saying I'm wapanese (lol) or that my dream country is Asian. I don't really even have one, I guess. I just feel like a stranger here.
What about you? You can share your experiences, it doesn't need to be exactly about countries.
Regrets
what do you regret, anons?
Anyone here ever had more than a boyfriend at the same time? Why?
If yes, how?
Were you caught in the end?
How do you feel like now?
Do you regret it?
ଘ(੭ ^ __^)੭ hello, fellow miners!
- What is a ~~good person~~ in your opinion?
- Are you one? Be honest. If you're not, why? and does that bother you?
- How can someone become a good/better person? What steps do they have to take?
I'm trying to improve myself because I've been frustrated with some of my current ideas, behaviors and inner thoughts.
Dear crystal.cafe
I'm turning 22 in a few days and for some reason I feel incredibly old ( most people I work / interact with are 18-20)
What is something that you would like to have known when you where 22?

Social anxiety
It seems that according to a lot of posts, a lot of us deal with this stuff, so maybe a thread for trying to improve through it would be good!
>How bad is it/used to be? di anything in particular cause it?
>How do you deal with it in social situations?
>If you used to have it but managed to control it/surpass it, what helped you improve?
>Book/podcast recommendations that helped you

Rivalry
Do you have a rival? A nemesis?
Trying to find a friend: L
Dear L, whose email started with ghosts(…),
I hope that someday you manage to see this thread, even if by chance, long after I post this. CC is small, but I have a feeling you'd love being here, so I hope you find it. I talked about you in the missed connections thread, but I think the chances of you seeing this here would be bigger. And I'm pretty sure you will someday.
It's been two years or so since we last talked. I don't even remember why I disappeared; if it was you or if it was me, but my closest friend wasn't comfortable with you because you know why, so back then I thought it was the right thing. I just wish I had managed to make things work in a different way. I really do. I apologize even for my excuses, they're not very good, are they?
Sorry it took me so long to try to contact you. When I emailed you last week and saw your account didn't exist anymore, I felt very sad. Now that I know you nuked your email I have no way to talk to you, and that leaves me broken hearted.
The last news I heard about you is that you got a divorce. If that's true, I am really sorry, but I hope good things come out of it.
Rereading our emails together is funny because we were so similar in many ways… And at the same time I was such an oversharer with you; you made me feel so comfortable.
I just hope you are happy, truly. Yesterday I remembered the song you sent me on my birthday and that made me laugh.
Wish you could understand my feelings, L. I wish we could have been closer friends. I hope your illness hasn't taken you away.
If you ever find this, even if you're not sure of who I am, please respond.
Wishing you all the best.

I just feel like boys are tryna use me
So I have been seeing this guy, more or less we just talk over text. He lives only 45 min away from me but has never visited me. Now I've been on winter break and so we hung out. we had sex. and it was really good, but i wasn't sure where that would lead to, its really difficult for me to feel things out like that because i have been a survivor of emotional and physical abuse, I am an extremely emotional and sensitive person… with extreme issues when it comes to attachment/intimacy… yet I feel that as a woman I must give my body to those who want it even though I don't necessarily want to… yet at the same time it isn't as if i don't consent to it? It is all so confusing to me.
Anyway so that happened and then a few days after he tells me he misses me, to which I reply to you do? because it was very confusing to me, we only hung out once, it became clear he just wanted to be casual possibly and when emotion begins to tie in its very hard for me to function. I begin to concentrate on it and have massive anxiety and obsession over it. And so I let him know I'm just confused and i didn't think he would even miss me and then he asks if he did something wrong? And I say no, that I feel lost and he doesn't reply for days.
I wish a happy new year and he doesn't reply to that either. So i just say fuck it, not the first time this happens to me with a guy. I've learned to not put effort in if they clearly don't care.
A few days later he texts me, telling that he expected to hang out more, that its clearly not happening anymore, that he guesses he isn't worth the effort to let him know i don't want to see him anymore.., to which i reply again in deep confusion that I have sent him multiple text messages without any reply. he doesn't even apologize, he just says how much he misses me and that he wants to see me. we make plans to see a movie when i get back from my vacation with family
i get back and im excited to see him. he then tells me hes doing laundry, then that he can't stay out late and that we should got out another time but I tell him i already made plans with my friends. all he says is that we can do something another time
and i just feel bummed. idk what to think. i am having so much anxiety over this stupid issue,over someone i barely know who doesn't seem to want to be known, much less even know me. i don't know what to do, how to feel or be. im a sensitive and lost bean and I just wish i had the power to be okay with myself and move on somehow but i want to be loved…. or something… i totlally feel like a complete loser around him though and i feel like he doesn't care to know about who i am he just wants to fuck me… and i know that is okay but its just not okay with me…. but sometimes he seems genuine and cool and it seems like he's into me.. then he's not. idk, some advice, knowledge, stories anything would help a lost gurl out rn. feeling really bummed and alone and just dazed out of mind.
You can undo one thing, what is it?

Dear anons I don't know how to live without her.

Times you got injured.
I came to realize my life is comparable to a slapstick comedy, I've been hit by a metal bat in the face, fallen and broken my arm, hit by multiple baseballs, hit in the face by dodgeballs, all sorts of stuff, even spanning now to accidentally burning myself with my kettle. Though funnily enough, I've only ever broken my arm.
Tell me about times you've all been injured, whether it be damaging or not!

Funny/Happy pet feels
Someone recommended a thread for happy pet related stuff so I decided to make one. If staff feels that it can be combined with the other pet feels thread then then lock this one(so we don't lose any posts anyone has already made in this one). Happy feels are important as well! Share all the joys of your beloved animals anons!
School yard bitchiness/Commenting on people's bodies/faces as if it's the worst thing in the world.
Pic unrelated, but is it just me or am I the only person that's like over it when people talk about internet personas (or just someone they don't like's) physical appearance like they're the ABSOLUTE UGLIEST/FATTEST THING they've EVER SEEN in their LIFE? Like, I get it, you don't like the bitch, can you tell us why? Other than the fact that you think her coords are ugly or her face is too droopy or she's too skinny or whatever? What's the point? What's the god damn point!
Tell me why she or he (it's almost always a 'she') is so awful without describing their body, for once? I'm so sorry that nasolabial folds trigger your ass so much, Jesus Christ.
I found this and thought it might be useful to other people here too since there are lots of posts here about how people have no/few IRL friends. They're direct instructional videos on how to socialize like a normie. There's a textbook or something that goes with it but the videos are all free at least.
http://www.routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/9781138238718/videos.php#p_2
Then and now
Let's play a game, inspired by >>>/feels/3717
First, write about a person in your life who you're no longer in touch with and who used to intimidate you or give you any sort of negative feelings.
Then after describing your feelings, look them up on social media and tell us how they are doing now and how seeing their social media makes you feel.
The idea is to revisit the ghosts of your past and to reflect on your impressions back then and now in relation to your former and current life circumstances.
General Vent Thread
Old one Maxed out my dudettes.
I like this website a lot but I'm not sure if it's healthy for me to come here every day and spend time chatting here when I could be doing things like working on self improvement instead. Does anyone else feel a sense of guilt over coming to imageboards? It seems like my conscience is telling me I need to just leave places like this and never come back even if this one seems pretty friendly and different.
Bisexual feels
Dear miners, help me out?
I'm so confused by my sexuality. I admitted to myself that I'm attracted to girls when I was 14 and came out as lesbian to my family because I didn't know bisexuality was a real thing. Later I realized that and have been living as bi ever since (10+ years). I never dealt with anything but casual homophobia and have had a supportive environment.
I have been in love with several women and several men, but the majority of my dating experience has been with men. I'm a femme who likes other femmes, so it's hard to be recognized as a wlw without outright stating it, so that may have something to do with it. Dating men is easy. But I'm not attracted to male bodies; I can appreciate a handsome face and a good body, but when it comes to women, I can find something attractive or endearing in almost any of them. On the other hand, I don't have as much of a sex drive with women - though I wonder if my sex life with men is tainted by my need for validation, so I have more sex to be a sexy sex-having cool girl, not because I want it all the time? Man, I don't know. I do know that I prefer penises, but I haven't had an ongoing sexual relationship with a woman, only long-distance dating or flings, so there is a lot left to discover.
I wonder if I can ever be truly happy dating one or the other. When I'm with a man, I miss femininity, but I'm drawn to the easier social structures that come with heterosexual relationships and being pursued and submitting to the man, so to speak. I guess I have a lot of internalized sexism to deal with, but that's another story. When it comes down to it though, f/f relationships seem so right and true to me, and I fear that I may just be buying into the romantization of lesbian relationships. I feel like such a fraud and like I can't be happy either way. I currently have a boyfriend and he doesn't mind me being with girls casually, but he wouldn't like me being emotionally involved with someone else no matter their gender.
What am I? Do I keep dating men and missing being with a woman? Do I date women and feel like a fraud for being less sexual and missing dick?

In a world of stress and sorrow, with only glimmers of Hope and joy, what is it that drives you? What makes you feel right, and whole? Me personally, I've been pouring my soul into D&D and podcasts for it. Other than that, I spend a lot of time laying around thinking.

Are you still religious? If yes, how much?
Do you wish you were raised like other people?
Is your family still very religious?
Share and discuss.
Just looking to relate to other people as my upbringing fucked me up in many aspects, but I am thankful for several things as well.
Should I post this to /b/? Not sure. I know we already have a thread asking if anons believe in god, so I wanna hear from people who were raised to do so.
Have any of you ever felt lonely in the way where you cant even appreciate someone elses friendship? Its hard to say, I cant even connect emotionally with my parents or my brothers. They all adore me, because I constantly run around trying to help them with their issues but at the same time, I cant understand it. Being around people in general is painful because I dont understand how to keep the conversation going, or when theres a pause I feel as if Im bothering them by attempting to speak. Could some of you folks give me some advice?
Feels about pets
This thread goes out the anon in the vent thread that lost her cat and recently adopted a different one. I know there's already an animal general thread in /b/ but I think this thread would be more suited for feels inducing stories and vents. I have many stories about cats and kittens to tell and I know there are anons that must have things to share about other animals too.
Cults of interest
I have at some point in my life become interested in and tried belonging to all of these subcultures, some of which I totally fell out of and some of which I still have a some affinity for despite never really feeling like I truly belonged in the community:
Anime fandom and other niche interest Japanese things like Touhou fandom, BJD collecting, idols, etc
Imageboard culture in general
Homestuck fandom
Furry fandom
Brony culture
True crime community
Western goth subculture
Cosplaying
Many j-fashion subcultures including trying to be a "lifestyle lolita"
BDSM and more specific fetish subcultures within BDSM
Tumblr feminism
/pol/
New Age and occult beliefs and practices
And lately I've become curious about historical re-enactment groups and motorcycle riding. I must be tragically bad at self reflection because I just realized that all of these things are kind of like cults in the intense life-consuming devotion the followers/fans have towards the interest/subculture. You can be a normal individual with a healthy interest in some of these things, but I am specifically attracted to the highly insular communities that are part of these interests.
My hopping from one "cult" to the next is probably driven by the intense need to be loved, have friendship, and belong to a community, but despite spending almost my entire lifetime hopping from one extreme interest to another I still don't have any close friends and I still feel like I don't belong anywhere. I am not sure how to recover from this pattern of behavior since the desire driving it still isn't being fulfilled and I don't know how to heal the deep wounds of being friendless and alone on my own.
Since this is an obscure part of the internet that necessitates a high level of involvement in imageboard culture to even find/post on, can anyone else relate? Has anyone been able to heal and recover from this?
I suck at making gal friends
Does anyone suffer from being super awkward around girls? I've never had a consistent, deep friendship with a woman, not because I don't want to, but because I always act so weird and become extra eager to please, extra overly nice (probably in a way that is off-putting), I find it difficult to give out my opinions when I'm usually an outspoken opinionated person and I just try to listen to them and don't input what I think (I awkwardly nod, smile, agree because I'm stoked to be talking to a potential gal pal). I also am petrified particularly regarding women that they will find out how stupid, pathetic, and ignorant I am if I spend more time with them.
I did have a girl friend in my childhood, but she was the kind that always critiqued me without me asking for it and made me feel like shit because she was always nit-picking at me and trying to make it out that she had life way worse than me ( for example, I came out to her about incest related child abuse when I was a kid and she started on about how her life was hard because one of her parents had a debilitating disease and how hard that was for her). When I've talked to her now, while she did seem sorry and to an extent ashamed about her behavior, she also almost seemed proud of the fact she was cruel (maybe that's just me). I didn't have any close girl friends in high school, the closest girls I came to being friends with always "jokingly" insulted me and made fun of me for being clumsy, spacing out, caring about school, etc. I ceased to be friends with them eventually, but I always feel guilt about that and I sometimes wish I continued being friends with them just for the sake of having more experiences with girls in high school.
Oddly, I don't feel intimidated by men in the way I feel intimidated by women, though I'd say I'm still somewhat more eager to please than "normal" for me. I've for sure, had many negative experiences with men - the classic they pretend they care and want to be friends, but once you aren't interested in a relationship with them, you don't mean shit - but it hasn't "sit" with me in the way I think my experiences with women have.
I consciously think very positive thoughts about girls and relationships with women, but I feel like maybe my past experiences are fucking up my subconscious into being terrified of being hurt by girls. How do I get past that? How do I become less eager to please? I love sites like this because it's the only time I'm able to converse with women in a way that I'm uninhibited from my usual fears.
Also: I know for a fact I am somewhat awkward and weird around girls. My s.o's housemate is a girl and we've had some conversations, she calls me her "friend" (I don't know if we really are though), yet my s.o. told me that she has told him that I get awkward.
Overall, I feel like I'm intellectually inferior to all girls and that they know, too, and aren't afraid of rubbing it in my face. Why would they want to be friends with such an incapable idiot?
Catfishing
I thought it would be nice to make a support thread for the catfishing phenomena where we can share stories and offer advice and support to people who have been victims of catfishing, suspect they are being catfished or are even catfishes themselves. So go ahead and vent away!

Internet SO's
(some slight bladerunner 2049 spoilers but not really)
Just came back from across the country today from a week-long vacation visiting my "internet boyfriend"- a guy I met on another chan that I fell in love with and went to meet IRL for the first time. It was insanely bizarre– to go from videochatting every single day to actually being able to touch and hold and caress and sex him.It was everything I'd hoped it would be, but now that I'm back in this crappy part of the world and away from him it is so painful. Part of me thinks it was a mistake to allow myself to fall in love with someone I met online, but another part recognizes that this is life and living and love is never painless.
We saw the new blade runner together and that moment when the wAIfu was disconnected from the house and started walking around and experiencing things felt so real to me. It was like Her, except in real life.
I don't think I can bear to be apart from him anymore. It is so painful and I feel so physically alone now, all by myself in a city with no friends.
Share other similar experiences? How do you deal with this?

Photo very sadly related
Do you always seek to gain the upper hand in relationships/friendships? Must every exchange be advantageous to you?
Are you conscious of how your words and actions might affect others?
When people say "no" to you, how do you respond? Do you attempt to manipulate it into a "yes"?
Are you willing to admit to a fault? Even though you may not see how you might have hurt someone, do you at least try to see things from their perspective?
Do you respect rules and boundaries? Or are they just made to be broken?
Do you lie habitually?
Do you keep your promises as best you can? And if you are unable to, do you let the person know in advance that you will have to make it up to them?
Do people who meet you generally respect you? This is not fully in your control but when multiple people have the same issues with you, it might be time to consider their perspective.
How do you treat people who cannot directly benefit you in any way?

Songs that make you feel
Was looking for a certain song on youtube but instead randomly came across vid attached. It's been a long time since I heard it and listening to it again after all this time, it's a little embarrassing to admit since 70s soul isn't really considered all that hip and the title makes it obvious why I'd be struck but it made me cry.

Anyways, as the title says, share those songs that make you feel.

How do you stop saying words
Does anyone have any advice for someone who is trying to stop saying offensive shit like "retarded" in front of people who are not internet veterans? I was born in 1989 so I grew up on the word and being on 4chan and imageboards in general has cemented it in my mind as the thing to say when something is weird, irrational, embarrassing, stupid or funny.
I said it front of a new friend (by accident) the other day and the look on her face was that of horror and disappointment.
I need some way of replacing it or shock therapy or something. I don't remember how I stopped saying "gay" derisively after high school but I need to do it again.
Anyone have any experience?
Vent!
I decided to make this thread so you girls can come here and vent. Had a bad day? Tell us about it. Share your stress with us.
Sensations
What are some weird sensations you enjoy?
For me, it's when you get your blood pressure taken and the cuff inflates around your arm. For some reason, I love it.
There was a friend I met from lcf's Discord that I knew briefly. We had a falling out after a few weeks but I still listen to this song she showed me.
