Without much suffering
I do a lot of sport and don't want to give up on that.
Is there some way of life which would cause a heart attack (no stroke) after a few months of constant exposure without making me look awful or sick on the outside ?
No drugs nor Alcohol not jogging please.

When I first had my son I was hoping he'd be the opposite of me in every way. I was always a very shy unathletic nerd who got bullied daily (both verbally and physically) by my stronger more assertive peers and because of that I'm now an adult with really severe depression as well as massive anxiety and distrust of people.

I was hoping my son would be the opposite of me. I was hoping he'd be the one DOING the bullying if anything. But he's now in the second grade after having completed first grade and kindergarten and unfortunately he's a carbon copy of me. At first we thought it was just his kindergarten class but then the same thing happened in first and second grade and transferring schools didn't work either because he was bullied in the new school as well.

Whenever I tried bringing it up to the teachers they basically didn't give a shit and just used the boys will be boys excuse. Even when he had several bruises and shit. I tried to get my son more into sports but he prefers drawing and writing stories. I tried to tell him that when bullies attack him fight back I don't care if he gets in trouble for standing up for himself but he just doesn't have it in him and lets them beat him up.

I also tried contacting the parents of the bullies but the parents are also bullies themselves.

So far my son is EXACTLY the way I was when I was his age. It's like I'm a father to my younger self. And I worry he'll end up just like me, depressed, full of anxiety, and very distrusting of people.

My wife has no idea what to do either because as a girl growing up no one bullied her.

So I'm at a loss here. Practically the only difference between my son and me at his age is he's slightly smarter and doesn't make as many stupid mistakes.

Like I stated in the earlier post you can switch school or homeschool. IMO switching schools more than once is probably not worth it, but it's worth one try and if that fails do homeschooling.
>but now he's 30 and there is no mommy
If his parents did the right thing he would be proficient in self-defense by then. You know switching schools and learning self-defense aren't mutually exclusive?

That's part of the issue.

They could end up being just like you, the exact opposite of you, or somewhere in-between. You never know. You have to prepare for all possibilities.

I can only really that happen in diversity-holes like the US, the UK or France.
In the civilized world, "simply" showing that you won't just let it happen like that, should be enough.
In the diversity-holes, there is probably no way around escalating it to the school administration and facing the social consequences of doing so.

He is like that because he absorbed his mother's anxiety and neurosis. Exactly like how you absorbed your own mother's.

It was really your fault for not being balanced and keeping your wife in check to protect your son who either rcoddled him too much, or thought it's was cute and nice having a shy boy kid. Essentially you married someone with very similar traits to your mother's.

My neighbor is so weird. She moved in like a year and a half ago and has been so irritating. Things she does:
>slams her front door as loud as she can shaking my entire house
>makes sure to leave her house at the exact same time as me, as in she will leap out of her front door to try and "catch me" walking down my steps and has even cut me off basically jogging past my stoop right as I'm about to walk down it
>will linger at her car to try and make me feel harassed, like I'll come home see her there and go to another store or the dumpster first and come back and she will still be waiting around(?) or take 40 minutes to carry her groceries somehow
>makes it a point to be on speakerphone super loudly every single time she does these things
>caught her having a loud conversation with another neighbor on my front lawn where she WALKED UP TO MY FRONT WINDOWS stood in my flowerbed and PEERED INTO MY HOUSE, made eye contact with her and slammed the blinds shut in her face
>gave my boyfriend the stink eye for absolutely no fucking reason to the point he told me about it and was creeped out
>this morning at 5am was shoveling my front walk and she flounces by me on a loud speaker phone conversation then shouts MORNING for the first time at me ever

M29. Got ghosted yesterday mid call. Blocked from all ways of communication during a very intimate call with someone that I thought could be a good match. In the beginning I did not show strong interest in her but she insisted on talking and getting to know each other which was pleasant to me. Started talking we talked long enough and ended up talking about intimacy and things we like during sex. Next few days had another call. She started sending me some sexy pictures which I really liked and sent her some of mine as well. We decided that we can have an intimate call. We did during the evening. We spoke about some random stuff and then started talking about intimacy. She started to show herself I did too, I started touching myself and then she started as well, she started moaning especially when I showed my dick to her and how hard it was. She showed me how she rubs her nipples and how she grabs her boobs. I asked her to show me how she touches herself. She said „you think you can get it this easy“. I said „common now“ and smiled. She looked at me said nothing suddenly hid her face only showing her face upper part. Call got disconnected. I called again. Call failed. Sent a „?“ sign does not go through. Then suddenly I started to realize… I hot ghosted. I tried to reach out on other platforms. Same…
It does not hurt me that much since I wasn’t invested enough in this. What really bothers me is that once I started to open up and genuinely thinking about this then things went sideways. Which sucks.

Another (maybe) important detail, she made some plans for Saturday and I was up to it. I was forward to that. I took it at face value and emptied my schedule for the weekend specifically for this and she confirmed this with me if I cleared my schedule for the weekend…

Buy a travel trailer, you can get em for 5-6k sometimes, with everything. The spot to park it can cost anywhere between 6-800$ and you never have to worry about it again. Economy goes bad? Sell it. Nobody wants it? Scrap it or give it away and buy another for a low price. A house is a comfort trap, just a way for banks to keep you hooked. It sure offers a feeling of security, but the stress involved with owning, restoring, repairing a home is sometimes not worth it.

>have mediocre grades due to alcoholism and skipping school so work 12 hour shifts at a low skill job
>only person I ever truly felt loved by (my grandmother) slipped and hit her head and died in after a 2 week coma recently

21 now and i just dont get the point, i have nothing happy to look back on, nothing happy to look forward too. I have no family to turn to, I have no friends to turn to. I know i won't get a gf, I might get a carrer if study and improve my old grades which is what im doing but whats even the point of that? To get money?

I work out, I read, ive tried god, ive tried therapy but nothing helps the unavoidable fact my life just feels pointless. The only thing I moderately enjoy is reading, but now there is barely time for that.

I think the sooner you realise that life really has no meaning, the sooner you can get on with your life. And I don't mean that in a nihilistic way, but just in an objective way - we exist to exist, so may as well, right? If anything, the meaning of life is to enjoy it. I think there's a lot to be said for doing things that you enjoy, or creating goals (studying, etc.). I'm a similar age, and I won't profess to understand your specific circumstances, but having something to work towards is definitely what's kept me going for the past few years. It's been studying for me, even though there's mixed opinions on whether there'll even be any job opportunities by the time I'm done in a year's time. Kinda depends on what you're studying I guess, but that's besides the point. Working 12hr shifts with no end goal would definitely take it out of me, but having the end goal of saving for a holiday, or a house, or an apartment, or even just getting by until you finish your degree, can really help.

I think, if you can help/afford it, spend less time at work and more time reading, working out, etc. for the above reasons. If you can't though, oh well, still do as much as you can be arsed doing. Just make sure to make time for yourself, mindless wageslaving is probably one of the more harmful things I've realised you can do to yourself.

The upshot for me, is that the more you get caught up in the "why"s of why you should keep going, the harder it gets. if you can just keep going without really considering why, that's probably the best way to go about it. It worked for me, I guess. Maybe it'll work for someone else.

"You need to fail lots of times before achieving success."

An absolute crock of shit that feel-good life coaches feed to complete losers to make them feel like they can turn things around if they try enough times. In reality if you've only known failure then it won't lead to eventual success, it'll just lead to you feeling more and more hopeless and demoralized until you can't take it anymore. The human mind is highly efficient and if something isn't working, it'll simply stop caring to keep trying it.

Edging is a waste of time. If you're going to masturbate just get it over with as quickly as possible. Some people edge/goon for so long when they could've had 4 orgasms within the same time frame and do other interesting shit while reloading. It's ridiculous.
>>
>>34032210
>Is edging in any way better than masturbating?
In general, no. Its good practice for making sure you don't come too fast when you have sex, but edging to porn is worse than regular masturbation to porn. (And that's quite bad).

>How often should a person be masturbating?
As often as you feel like it, and it's enjoyable. If it stops being enjoyable, or you're doing it because you're bored rather than horny, that's excessive. Any amount of porn use is a bad idea, though.

>Is a full abstinence from masturbation better?
No. The only effect it has is to raise your risk of prostate cancer in later life. It has absolutely no benefits at all.

From urbandictionary.com:

>When an escort offers a service more akin to a 'real' relationship rather than just sex. The escort may go with the payer to dinner / the movies etc and engage in conversation, kissing and so forth, before retiring for sex (as what might occur when dating). Men who indulge in such Girlfriend Experiences with escorts are said to be enjoying The Hobby.

Elaborate.

So I'm a fucking monster. About five years ago I cheated on my girlfriend by sexting an intellectually disabled woman for a couple nights before coming to my senses. I confessed, lost everything, my friends and my family want nothing to do with me (justifiably). Since then I've been kicked out of my BJJ gym (an ex friend talked with the head instructor about what I did), was fired (another friend went to my manager with what I did), and I went from an apartment to a very cheap sublet room. I think it's justified, all of it, but I need to stop wallowing and do something decent with the rest of my life. I'm already volunteering, but still wake up most nights guilty, comparing myself to a rapist or a paedophile. How do I move on?

Top, even

I'm 20 years old, I got a job offer in a state halfway across the country (US), I want to go but the only thing holding me back is my parents. I don't have a very stable relationship with them, in fact I wanted this job specifically to leave them behind, but when I told them that I got the job, they started trying to either guilt trip me into not going or tried to give me reasons why I'd basically fucking die if i live by myself because, to them, I'm like a baby that can't survive without their help. I need to tell them that im going to leave before I leave due to certain factors but I don't know how to go about that without having to deal with that whole conversation.

Also, as an aside, how do I deal with the fact that my youthful years are slowly coming to a close and the fact that I had a horrible childhood and basically had my youth raped from me (another reason why I want to leave, I can't deal with living in the same house as the people that ruined my childhood).
I watch twink porn just to catch a glimpse of what it would be like to be a youthful and virile male engaging in an act of communion with another healthy, beautiful young boy. Its that bad.

I've done this. Your parents concerns are valid.

Most important thing that you need is:
>Home/apartment
Have you found a decent place to live? Do you have enough money to cover the rent and utilities for half a year? In case things don't work out the way you expected.

>The Job
How is the work environment? Are the coworkers and bosses toxic? Is the company financially solvent? If not, as the new guy, you'll be the first one they'll let go.
Which is why it's important you have savings before you move.

>The weather
I moved from California to Chicago, we didn't have snow. I didn't have the clothes, the boots, or the mettle to deal with freezing winter and the summer humidity.

I have not found a place to live yet, but that is because the company that I am going to work for said they'll have one of their agents help me with relocation, they told me to not do anything until we have the first consultation call, which will be in two days.
Since I'm going to live in a relatively LCOL town, I have enough money in savings to hold me over for more than half the year if anything were to happen.

Just last year, the company I am going to work for hit record profits, so I'm not worried about layoffs.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about the bosses, coworkers, work culture, etc., but that's because the company is looking to build a whole new crew to work at the place I'm going to work, since the previous company that was working on this place had a crew of people that was so terrible at their job, they got kicked out.

The change in climate is definitely a concern for me, I'm not a stranger to the cold (also live in CA, but in a place in the mountains), but I'll also be moving to the midwest where it seems to be even colder and snowier.

also stop watching porn that's not helping anything.

There's a very specific girl I have in mind, but sadly she's taken. I wish it was her, but.. life, If she is ever single again I'd love for it to be her, I mean I hope her current partner is good for her and she doesn't throw her life away in the wrong company, but life is unpredictable. Description, someone who loves me for me, that I don't have to convince, they just love me. Someone who likes to walk and talk together, someone who listens. I'm not interested in her income, diploma, etc, just her.. my life situation isn't perfect for several factors, so someone that is patient, not in a hurry. Someone that wants to be loved and hugged just like me, someone who needs love, just like me. Someone who maybe has hobbies, drawing, painting, music, making clothes, just something she enjoys that keeps her busy.
