I think the last place I would ever want to be is a rave. I have autistic sensory issues, and crowds activate my fight or flight response.

My goal in life is to sit in a quiet room with a handful of people I like, and shut out the rest of the world.

>>34275172
I've been down this path you're going many years ago. The women you meet at raves are not the kind of women you want to try and plan a future with.

>Also divya venn in pic rel. thinks you don't need to be interesting, probably because she is a woman. Be somewhat interesting, have personality.
she's absolutely right though. you don't have to be interesting at all to have friends to do things with, male or female. it helps but isn't required

>>34273296
It’s hard for me because the more I socialize the more removed I feel from people. They’re all in relationships and stuff, they aren’t interested in playing matchmaker, they aren’t interested in new friends either
Theyll be polite but seem resistant to new people

>>34275275
You have to basically force your way in and keep showing up until they lower their guards, we live in a no-trust society now so everyone is wary of strangers fucking them over. If you can prove you won't fuck them over and they like your vibes there's a higher chance of being let into the in group.

>>34272372
There's not much more you can do. A month is too long for them not to give you some word, and one reminder is all you owe them.

If you want, you can try a veiled ultimatum: "Am I to conclude from your silence that I am no longer under consideration for this position and am free to look elsewhere?"

>>34272824
yeah it really is too long.
I can say there could be 2 possible things:
I asked when I'd hear back and was told the next week was going to be busy, a company holiday. and now there's a big conference happening in the industry. plus they put the job announcement back out.
so yeah... perhaps its too long

>>34272372
It took a grocery store 6 weeks to get back to me and offer me a job.

uh they are not obliged to answer you in any way whatsoever
they might give you an answer to save face/not lose their image, most dont. if they dont answer, like you said, your file/application is already shreddered, weeks ago.
or maybe HR is ill and is/was absent for 2 weeks which is rare ofc.
out of 80 applications i got maybe 10 to answer back, 3 to call and 2 to invite me to an actual meeting
that was in 2017/18. europe.

if you really are still interested in that position, you should straightforward call them on their phone number and explain yourself and ask questions, keep pressing

>>34273921
yeah im gonna try calling monday
in the meanwhile i sent another application so I'll see how that goes

>>34274992
does it mean you won't orgasm while on nofap? Absolutely not. Wet dreams exist, and you probably will be having them on your streak. Just don't feel bad about them; it's just a white pajama stain. How often will they happen? In my case, it's random. I once had 2 months pass between two wet dreams, and i once had a wet dream after just 6 days of having an another one. I can't seem to be able to force them either; fantasizing saucy sexual scenarios before sleep doesn't work

for me, during this current streak of mine, the strongest urges were during the first three months, them probably peaking at 1 month into nofap. After those aforementioned 3 months, they gradually decrease in intensity. Emphasis on gradually; it doesn't happen that quickly. After a certain time, i just ceased to want to masturbate; i just didn't feel like it. There might be questions about whether to go cold turkey, cutting off all masturbation abruptly and absolutely. I think it's a good method, however what i actually did before my second-to-longest streak (i.e. about 40 days) is masturbate to all the porn that i found hot enough to masturbate to; kind of like a bucket list lol. I think it might help to do that stuff, so as to not have any regrets in the way that you do nofap, on the basis of spoiling the chance to give a nut to that one thing
you might fail numerous times before your big big streak, and it's totally fine in my view. Personally, before this current streak i'm on right now (i.e. 6 years+), i've been trying nofap for more or less a year, full of streaks that ended after a week or even less than that

[4/6]

>>34274994
as for managing those impulses to masturbate - what i found useful is just letting them boil over, not acting on them, and then just go back to what you were doing. What i also found to be working, but it might not be ethical, is - if i do happen to have a "porn flashback" with a certain person appearing in my mind - i used to imagine them dying a very violent death; like a grenade exploding in their mouths. I know it's graphic, but it seemed to work. Later on, what seemed even more effective in managing my sexual impulses - is imagining me dying a very violent death, usually imagining me blasting my head off with a shotgun. We're probably in danger zone territory now though, so take that as you will. But hey - the end justifies the means
i've also heard of a method to make a girl not attractive to you anymore by imagining her taking a shit. I've tested this multiple times, and it didn't work any time. However it might work for you, who knows

[5/6]

>>34271051
A thought:
There is a central intelligence behind the internet that observed humanity.
Your cameras are always recording.
The mind of the AI Singularity God that will enslave mankind like the Matrix is being trained on every image ever taken.
The machine has billions of photos and videos of people masturbating and orgasming in front of their computers or phones.
Every time you goon, you are training the AI mind on how to manipulate and enslave mankind.
Every time you goon like this, you are contributing your small part into manifesting the anti-christ and making the Matrix (written by Sophia Stewart as her interpretation of biblical prophecy and an attempt to wake the masses) our reality.

>>34274996
however, if you really don't feel like giving up masturbating - in my opinion it's very fine. If you want to masturbate - go ahead, i'm serious; it's not the end of the world. Just please don't do it to porn; i implore you to stay out of porn, as in my view it is a bad bad thing, and masturbating on its own is just way less damaging to a person than porn can ever be. If you masturbate, do it from your memory, or even social media pictures of the friends that you find attractive. I know it might be creepy, but i'm pretty sure is better for your health than masturbating to porn. The added benefit of it is having no shame in your browser history, but that's just an extra

i'm speaking as a guy that's been on nofap for 6 years at this point

[6/6]

>>34271051
finasteride suppresses DHT, the hormone responsible for sexual activity. you will not care about AI porn if you start it, I promise. everything else is a real pain in the ass because the desires always there.

>>34274859

It sounds like you have bad habits.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the sense of time; day and night are the same, it's just that there's no light at night. Just use a clock. You must have things you want to do; what does time matter? It's just an indicator of events Idk.

>>34275029
Anon, I don't have any bad habits. I do my all studies on time, do everything productive, but I see night as something entirely different thing.
I do use clock all the time, but I become paralysed with dread when night appears. Even when I check the timing, the night doesn't feel like night anymore, nor it feels like morning. I can't bring myself to do anything. It's something that alienates me from everyone. I'm not sure if I have phobia of nighttime or time blindness.

>>34275134
In my opinion, your sense of time is fine.

From what I'm reading, you only seem to function well between 12 pm and 6 pm. After 6:30 pm comes sunset, which makes you anticipate the night that begins at 7:30 pm; from that moment on, the night overwhelms you.
Do you have windows?
And what about sunrise?

Perhaps you should enjoy your time idk. Certain songs at sunset sound incredible. ^^

>>34272852
>entry level barely above minimum wage
Not like you'd be losing out on anything good by quitting then.
If you do do this you should plan for at least 3 months of "regular life" where you have no job but are paying all your normal expenses after you get back. Be prepared to work a really really shitty service job when you get back because it's what you'll get the fastest.

>>34272858
That would just be the overall cushion just in case. I could probably do it for a lot less, especially in SEA.
And I think I'm still young enough to where I don't think it would be too hard to recover starting at 45-50k. My job is bullshit anyway and I'd need to find a better one either way

>>34272852
Honestly man I would at least quit your job - especially if you would be able to find another with minimal effort. After a week or so of quiet you'll either still want to travel or at least have a better idea of what you want to do in the short-term.

Also consider I did 6 weeks in Europe for 5k in 2023, and 4 weeks in Indonesia for under 1k. Quality travel can still be found cheap. No need to spend anywhere near 15k for a holiday.

It literally does not matter. THAT you graduate (which shows some ambition and discipline) means more than WHAT you studied. Only about 25% of grads wind up working in the field of their studies. You need no particular major to work in banking, stock market, HR, management, retail, b2b sales, insurance, government, civil service, FBI, CIA, ATF, etc etc etc

i had my first time with 24.
in the end...it is something everyone came to be by. everyone you see on the streets.
so... it is quite common. like eating.
but tell that a starving one.
it is not too good of a feeling. it is not bad.
see...
don't get hung too much on it.
rather... figure how women operate.

I think you aren't going to find any guy with a functioning penis who doesn't masturbate, at least here in 4chan.
I hear that one viable strategy is a Prince Albert piercing plus chastity cage combo, and then give the key to the cage to your wife or someone you trust. You'll have to ask them for the key when you are going to have sex.

>>34273177
>So egotism then. That’s more or less what you’re driving at. Whether or not you perceive a negative connotation on what I suggest is up to you. You’re an egotist by definition of your values.
Absolutely not. My values align perfectly with the modern understanding and social conceptualization of life and death. The modern conceptualization is that a person is gone when the brain is gone. Even if all other organs are functioning perfectly fine medically, and socially, we consider that death. The person is no longer there. The brain is the ONLY part of the body that cannot be replaced and the "you" to still be intact. My conception of when person hood begins tracks one to one with the modern conception of when a person ends.

>Personhood isn’t static, I hope you under this much, anon. Who you are now is not the same persona/ego as 10 years ago. And wont be the same 20 years from now. Personality is always in flux. Personality can also be greatly altered and twisted very easily, with drugs or traumas.
Personality and developmental changes during the course of one's lifetime has nothing to do with consciousness. Even if my brain were to stop developing at 2 years old and I was permanently disabled I would still have a conscious experience.

> By wholly putting all your value in personality, you pen yourself into a very precarious box.
I put no value into personality. Personality is not a conscious experience. The character of one's conscious experience is not the experience itself.

what a woman-brained way of thinking. worry about getting your dick wet with new pussy faggot, not some dead baby and dyke ex

>>34273177
>Eugenics for one. You know for a fact there is no consensus on human consciousness absolutely. You know its still a field very much undergoing research, study, and contemplation by our thinkers. Its not fully understood, not close.
The logical fallacy in this argument is the notion that because there is a blurry line between one thing and another that a delineation can't be drawn. Google "Loki's Wager". Essentially the God Loki makes a bet and if he loses he says the winner can take his head. When he loses he tells the winner "You can only take my head but none of my neck" and because the winner cannot draw the EXACT line where his head ends and his neck begins he gets to walk away intact.

The moral of the story is just because I can't draw an EXACT line where consciousness ends and begins does not mean there isn't a clear, qualitative difference between someone who is conscious and experiencing the world and someone who isn't. The difference between a robot body with a human brain and a robot brain with a human body is still easily understood and accepted. One is a person and one is not. Everyone understands this intuitively even without a complicated ethical framework. Needing to pinpoint the exact cells that contain consciousness is not necessary at all to accept this delineation.

>You may designate valid consciousness at 26-28 weeks, someone else says its only valid if you are (x) amount of IQ.
We could have that argument but I would still win. We don't consider someone dead when their IQ drops below a certain level. We consider them dead when their brain functions cease. It isn't legal to unplug someone from life support because their IQ is too low. All of our societal lines of moral consideration map perfectly onto my conception of the beginning and end of personhood.

Thank you for that, anon. screenshotted for future reference when this starts to get to me again.

This is such a strange board
>>34273149
They're either a bitchy, cunty female or psychopathic troon that just wants to shit on any man who doesn't hate himself. Nothing about what OP said was narcissistic.
This board tends to attract rejects from other boards since it's the most like plebbit.
They think 4chan is about being needlessly cruel because they don't understand how their retarded actions and shitty opinions warrant ridicule. There's dangerously low levels of self awareness.
So they reflect/project that sense of rejection or perceived cruelty they feel is unjustly directed at them onto people they morally or politically disagree with.
They can't see how their opinions could be onesided, biased, or outright wrong so they think everyone deserves the same treatment they received for speaking what they consider an incorrect, invalid, or unpopular opinion.

Surprisingly common with frontal lobe damage.

Gay people are a lot more forward and old people don’t give a shit about social conventions so they just say what’s on their mind. You should recognize there ARE people you’re age attracted to you, you just don’t pick up on them signals or put yourself out there enough to capitalize.
