> Have been trying to get a very niche job role In the military for nearly 8 years, there are literally 2 positions in the entire country.
> Job finally comes up but there is an issue with my application and for some reason this causes an argument with my mother when I ask her about it. Didn't get he job because of it.
> Cut to yesterday. Mum rings me out of nowhere.
> "Oh hey anon. That kid who made your life a living hell in high school and punched you in the face repeatedly got the job you were applying for. Theyre standards are not that high. You should apply again".

Why the fuck would she tell me this?

I don't even have a Facebook page and have told her repeatedly over the past decade not to bring this stuff up from high school again. I didnt even know the first thing about this person as an adult. I'm mortified but mostly at my mother's gossiping.

Did she do this on purpose?

She wouldn't give me my diploma and they cut me out of the job pool.

>>31276295
Ok I'm the faggot here nevermind. Just cut her off entirely. Not even joking. She offers nothing to your life besides misery. Just get the hell away from her and stop contacting that pig. She probably enjoys seeing you like this. Wouldn't surprise me. She is a dumb whore clearly. She keeps bringing things up even after serious conversations too... Just cut her out of your live. Wouldn't keep friends like this right? Why should your mom be any different?
>>
>>31276487
I have no idea what the issue was in that instance. Either way I came to find out she only had the grades and never collected the certificate so I'd have to buy another I guess.

Despite being a gossip and a pain in the arsenal she can be supportive in other ways. I also don't have a support network beyond myself and my parents. I just want her to acknowledge her shortcomings and I guess to vent a little.

I couldn't give a fuck about this job anymore. I just hate that she can't just shut her mouth sometimes and not say every single thing that comes to her head. It makes me blame myself for continuing to trust her and then have her abuse that trust time and time again.
>>
>>31276577
I understand cutie. The problem is she won't understand it. You gave the answer to solve all of this yourself: "It makes me blame myself for continuing to trust her and then have her abuse that trust time and time again". The reason is very known, yet she has this stupid hold of you. Get someone else. Anyone. Even a granny from a retirement home. There are no boundaries and she is self centered. The only one to change any of this is the person writing, otherwise you'll be asking yourself this 5 years on the future. Cut your losses. My answer cannot be more clear. It's like a wife beaters wife.

classic tip is that even if you suck at dancing, positive attitude can make it better for people to dance with you than being a pro who's clearly disinterested etc.

How do I ‘grow up’ and become a normal adult that just goes out and does stuff he enjoys? I sometimes want to do something but then don’t because it will feel weird being alone or just me being hesitant because of the questions I will get from my parents about me randomly leaving the house. I have plans to save money and move out and hopefully it will be easier to just do what I want without being ‘judged’.

I also am hesitant because I don’t like spending money. How do I get over these self imposed boundaries? And what are good / fun things to do? I feel this will also help in my dating life as talking about my life currently makes me look very boring (which tbf, I am)
>>

>how do i 'grow up' and become a normal adult
>goes out and does stuff [you] enjoy?
pick one, anon.
being an adult means doing the stuff you hate doing and doing that on a regular basis over stuff you would rather be doing (ex. fun).
>>
well, first of all i would start by figuring out what is possible. we are all limited, severely limited, by what is possible for us to "do"

sure you can get on a bus and go to los angeles and try to be an actor, but youll probably end up living in a shelter and doing craigslist jobs

Take walks

How do I find the right hobby ?
I tried music , painting, skating and singing
and I suck in all of those
then I thought maybe I could be good at something like chess or cooking
again the best I could do is master the basics
i am 27 and so far I am good for nothing
how do people find the right hobby that they're good at without wasting too much time or money ?

I’m a heterosexual man who likes reading lesbian romance stories and reading lesbian hentai, and I self-insert as the lesbian characters when I do so. For whatever reason I don’t get as easily invested in heterosexual romance stories and heterosexual hentai than Yuri, why is that?

> Why exactly do you not want to be a father? Why does it even matter?
It’s not that I don’t want to be a father, it’s just that I would prefer to be a mother, I want my children’s bodies to have formed in my womb. Now I know that there are children that have great relationships with their fathers while at the same time having strained or even terrible relationships with their mother, but still I prefer to be a mother.
>>
>>31276824
Well you're gonna have to be a father. Plus you wouldn't even want to be a mother because you're not into guys. If you were a lesbian you couldn't have kids with your wife. So you're pretty lucky.

So i've got these opium poppies in my garden and the thought of processing them into opium is intriguing me. I have been warned it's extremely addictive by people who i can't imagine know a lot about it. Is it really that bad?

seeing as I only have a handful of plants I don't think i can produce a whole lot more than one time use, so I won't be repeating it again anytime soon, which I imagine should mitigate the risk of addiction. Is this a stupid idea? Is the high worth the hassle?

opium isnt as bad as heroin no. not even close. but it is euphoric nonetheless and does cause dependency and withdrawal symptoms if taken at a certain rate

i would think youll be ok messing around every few months or whatever. drinking tea doesnt have the same euphoric thrill as snuffing heroin or whatever

Just eat them. You can eat leaves and heads. Grind the stems to make tea. Way pain in the neck to do anything more. They are enjoyable to eat. Bitter taste tho.
>>
>>31276407
Opium is a plant until they find a pod that you sliced. Then it is manufacture of a schedule I controlled substance.

Opium is just as illegal as Heroin. Heroin is much healthier, euphoric AND safer though. I've taken Heroin powder orally and that is probably what Opium feels like just less nauseous.
>>
i knew a guy who did this. he grew the poppies. extracted the sap/nectar. rolled it into a ball that was like a jawbreaker. then we would shave it with a razor blade onto bowls of weed and get high. honestly it’s ok but not my kind of thing. it’s just a big downer but you feel good. you are only going to get addicted to it if you have a lot of it and nothing else to do

what they don’t tell you about addiction is most people who take highly addictive drugs don’t get addicted to them

Obviously i'd never do this but I still get urges.

It's just thoughts, many people have intrusive thoughts. Ever see a mother with a baby and think "what if I pushed her baby into traffic"? It's actually pretty common. Obviously I don't get a headache thinking of doing it to babies since I have no problem with babies and it is just an intrusive thought but I actually dislike women which is why I get a headache if I think too deep about it. Obviously I wouldn't hurt women though.

yeah, I really hate women. I wish I didn't have to see any woman again. It really demotivates me. Sometimes on my way to the gym when I see women wearing slutty clothing, I lose all motivation and just go home.

I don't know what to do. I find everything boring and it's been this way for years. I don't care for anything, don't desire anything, don't have any real ambitions, nothing. I don't want to hang out, don't want to go out, don't want to play games, don't wanna talk. I don't wanna do anything.

I go to college and I'm doing very good there academically (stem). I'm also very financially stable because of some work I do on the side but even so, I am just so bored. I'm bored of life.

dopamine fry = brain stops rewarding you for things you used to enjoy doing.
You're bored because your brain is not rewarding you like it's supposed to.
You should wake up with a natural high and enjoy things in your life when your brain is healthy.

I'm 20. I'm jealous of people who drink, smoke, and party, and when I see it in films or shows, I get envious of the characters. I was always lonely my whole life, and only now do I have an IRL girlfriend, but I never had a "school life" or was invited to parties, nor did I ever drink or smoke except for one date with a girl and never again afterward.

Should I try now? How do I even try? My whole life, I've avoided all of this because I'm pretty mentally unstable on occasions, and I'm afraid of all that coming out.

I was in the exact same position as you anon. I’m 20 as well. I envied that lifestyle as well when I was in high school. All I wanted was to do drugs and party and have sex with chicks. Only recently have I realized all of that shit is fake and lifeless. Nothing really matters. Having meaningful and deep friendships and relationships with people are more important than fake or lifeless relationships with people at parties. You can still have fun without that life. I realized that spending the late night with my brother, sitting out on my porch and looking at the stars and talking about our lives is the most valuable thing ever. Parties, drugs, women etc. don’t mean much when you have actual important things you love and give meaning to.

I've just been told I won't be able to go online and browse the internet at work anymore. I never went here or on other iffy places, but the big bosses still don't want me doing it even it the other people I work with can vouch I do my job just fine.

I've got to be ready for eight hours of total enslavement now, without any means to vent. I don't understand how people do it. I see my mom or other people who work very 9 to 5 jobs and I don't get how they can just sit in front of a computer or assembly line for eight entire hours and numbs their brains like that and be satisfied with just a few crumbs of vacations and activities. It's the kind of stuff that makes you a machine.

I want to make it clear I'm not antiwork. I like to work when I feel I'm doing something worthwhile and I feel useful. But this isn't. This is a summer job, but even then I think I might quit if I can get this other job that starts in june. It's the same kind of stuff but at least it's better paid. How do I cope?

Ok great, so stop being a pathetic mentally ill faggot then. That is the advice.
A normal guy would have most likely fucked this girl. Or, even if he hadn't for some reason, not still be going obsessively on about this a year later. Because he will have had other opportunities since then, and not have caught feelings for some drunk club skank for some reason like you have.
These threads are actually WORSE than your usual creepshot threads, which is a really tall order.

I actually had a good few opportunities since then, including the very next day after what happened in OP. I fucked up all of these possible ascension scenarios. I'm sick of it. I want to ascend and lose my unpaid virginity already.
