(Kinda large story)For the last months i been dating this girl who i love with all my heart. I only want her to be happy (after all she went through serious shit, she deserves calm and happiness)Multiple times she had told me that she doesnt feel well in her body, even before we start dating, and i dont have problem of calling her by "him" while she is present but...transition is a whole other thing. Im very straight with my sexuality so i wont see her the same way i do now (that wont stop some feelings i have for her)To be honest i prefer to give her the courage to do it at the cost of my own happiness. I feel that if i see them happy im going to feel happy for helping them achieve their goal.At the same time im scared of being alone and not finding anyone like her again
>doesn't feel well in her bodywhat aspects? mental issues of any kind will cause disassociation and disconnect and a Need To Escape, yanno?
Advice from voluntary celibate here.It seems to me, that you are neither Chad nor Chad-lite, and you were only brave enough to approach this woman, because you felt she was as low-status as you.Let's say, there's a reason Chad and normalfag guys would scrunch their nose at her and leave, even if she's somewhat pretty. Mentally healthy women don't want to chop their tits off.Your final moonshot, is to search for months for info and articles, about why all that trans thing is a scam (suicide statistics, how surgeons and pharma make money off trannies, etc). As a woman, she wouldn't give two fucks about statistics, but she will probably feel peer pressured by knowing there are people who think like that, and that trans supporters are obscure weirdos backed by media and not the majority.If this doesn't work, she can't be your girlfriend and it's finished. Otherwise, it would be living hell for both of you.
>>33957390That is not going to help her, trust me on that.
>>33957390>went through serious shit>wants to be a maledon't commit to anything serious with this person
How do you deal with a guy on Instagram who is sending you Chinese monkey torturebut you still want to be friends with him?Ladies, you entertain lots of guys that aren't your boyfriend any advice?
Why didn't you post the part where kitty gets stabbed by a negro while riding a bus?
How about saying hey I'm not really into torture videos then you continue the conversation

Where do you find non normie girls irl?

Anime and SFF cons
>>33957298>non normie>anime?
You need to define what a normie actually is. I have never met one.
Examples>Drinking, smoking, and so on worsened by any shame these things give me, basically a self-reinforcing cycle>Trying to push myself into paranoid/mystical delusional thinking and then getting scared that I'll find myself in too deep (the worst case of this was one moment where I noticed I was starting to manipulate my own memories to fit a paranoid narrative, leading to three days of me being anxious to point of nausea, constantly fighting with my own brain, feeling as if something was in my body, depersonalization, etc.)>Any happiness I have I feel guilty for because I haven't earned it>Often try to mentally push myself into being suicidal>Constant comparison to othersIdk why I keep doing this. I didn't have the best childhood (ostracized for impulsively saying inappropriate things, being bullied, sexual assault, and more) but none of these things feel directly related to this shit
>>33957397How is this a willpower issue?
having the willpower to follow through with mental reform.
>>33957402I am often countering the thoughts though I don't always do it, I have stopped letting them control my actions, etc. I think I'm doing pretty good with mental reform, I just want perspective on why and extra advice. Nothing given so far has been advice. So far it has only been attacks and claims that I'm not doing anything. If "willpower issues" couldn't be advised on, then a lot of threads posted here should have never been made.
>>33957410I acknowledge that I have been aggro.Not many people, especially here, experience your stupid guilt complex. reddit would be better suited.
>>33957412At the very least I am aware that I'm experiencing a complex, unlike many of the faggots here
All I really want in life is to be a stay at home mom. If my partner wanted me to go to university I would, and I understand why so many people have a problem with women wanting that lifestyle, but deep down it is how I want to live. Am I just lazy? Is it a red flag? I wish I had passion for SOMETHING but I don't, I just want to have a family.
>>33956283based, i wish i met such woman when i was of a marrying age. go to church, find a guy that can support your lifestyle, that's also much healthier for children.but be careful because that's a pretty dangerous decision, you have to find a real quality partner
>>33956283Are you just lazy? Lots of guys want the same thing and, if they don’t, they are lesser men. But you can get the best performance out of him by running a tight ship at home and being quick to make a sandwich.
The quickest way to be miserable is to believe you can bullshit your way through life, because some rich asshole did, and then beat yourself up because it didn't work for you. Be a hard worker working while these rich pricks sleep, and trust me, some day you'll be where they are at.
>>33955624Without sounding like I'm coping I think even as a brokie like me who's single no kids you can still live a well disciplined meaningful life. But absolutely I'm working on financial stuff. I realise I gotta move out of my town and state altogether to get a career in my field I studied.
>>33955624And my boss is another self made man type of guy I earned a lot of his respect but I don't really wanna be a kiss ass and try to advance in the company or whatever I'd rather have my own company or a higher paid career. Even though I enjoy my job. I get to meet a lot of women and people and so forth but it's not worth that alone.
>>33956122And this guy gets it.
>>33955446From obese to obese
>>33955446damn I wish my boyfriend could do at least half of this. I refuse to sabotage any possible babies by giving them an unhealthy father. any tips on nudging him along ?he won't do even do bodyweight workouts or jump rope with me. he keeps saying he's waiting to have time for a gym routine.... kms
Should I talk to people like it's a boomer RPG? Like if someone works at McDonald's I'd have these dialogue options:>Tell me about McDonald's.>Tell me about your father.>What do you have for sale?>Is [Local Mayor] a good ruler?
I've being doing that every now and then since I was a kid, but I've gotten addicted and near exclusively do it since 2020.I like to specifically use phrases that phonetically align per the setting's common lines (I won't tell you, go be creative urself, it's not in english anyways)They majority just ask me to repeat. Those that realise it wasn't misheard are visually soul displaced
>>33957104unironically start doing this pleasethe world needs more in real life weirdos than online trend chasing retards
>>33957104Do it at a ren faire, no one will bat an eye
>>33957104Kek
No idea what you Zoomers are talking about.
>job interview tomorrow>shit job>I may won't get paid a salary (comissions only)though I would go to check but now I'm thinking on not going, should I raw dog it or follow my gut?
Just go and swallow your pride, I have an interview at Five Guys tomorrow OP. I'll be making $15 an hour with spic co workers in their 40s if I get it because young people my age can't get those jobs easily anymore due to imported useless people with no skills, but I just need to make $1000 and I can live off that for a few months as I have no expenses
>>33956107If you are only paid on commission, I would say it is more of an orientation than an interview. Check it out.
Follow your gut
is it a solid gut? don't trust a flabby skinnyfat lump
would anyone be willing to chat with me and then give me feedback on my social skills? I want to know if I'm awkward.
>>33955707Give me your socials, but I'm Indian (just letting you know)

Poor op
>>33952173We have 8 billion people on this planet and less than 2 billion jobs total. Of those jobs, more than half are makework and beaurocracy that isn't actually needed but only exists to keep people busy.The simple fact is, OP, you can try and beat the odds by whoring yourself out to peoples' prospective needs, or flood in applications because every one you put out is a non-zero statistical chance of acceptance and just keep rolling the dice until you get lucky. But most people alive on this planet, meaning the overwhelming majority, simply aren't needed here. There isn't anything anyone can do about that, we just need a big war or a super plague or something to wipe out huge swaths of the human race. Until that happens, we have more people than we need by an order of magnitude and some people are going to fall through the cracks no matter how well they prepare as a simple function of statistics.
>>33956207it's over
>>33952173Lie on your resume + use your friends to get contacts into companies => get a remote consulting gig through GLG or other consulting firms=> work on developing your portfolio if screenwriting is your real passion.Also watch this video; not everyone is like this guy but if you tend towards being happy as a jack-of-all-trades this'll inspire you. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=f_Rqf-vxBM8
ew screenwriting fag. at least start with actual contribution and asset building instead of promising some stupid false skill
I have a Chemistry, B.A. degree with no internships or scholarships. I graduated from college with a 2.5 GPA. My only experience is as a fast food employees for multiple places. I am self-taught in Python and taking Java classes at a community college for a computer science certificate. Is it possible for me to get a job? If so, how?
>2.5be a janny and tutor at said community college.night shift is fun
>>33957190Have you considered working at a sample processing lab, like Quest Diagnostics? One of my friends has a Chemistry degree and works at a lab. It's not amazing pay, but she can make the rent.
>>33957215I haven't thought about that, but I will look into it. I already tried applying to a bunch of different lab technician jobs and got rejected by every single one.
same exact spot with a stats ba. job application hell sucks more than it ever has
Go ask to be a researcher at a factory.
I've felt like I could be trans masc for a really long time, and it became a sort of daydream obsession where I'd zone out imagining how life would be different if I was a guy.My therapist thinks I'm just using the fantasy for escapism and that I'm not really trans so he won't give me any prescriptions.He recommended I try to vent anonymously online about my feelings, and see how people respond with all my internal thoughts out in the open. I've tried Tumblr and Reddit already with anon asks and throwaway accounts. Tumblr said I'm valid, Reddit said I might be trans. I get the feeling he maybe wanted me to build some more confidence before prescribing me anything and this is part of it.I've told my bf I'd love to swap to being the bf and let him be the gf. He thought it was funny at first. When I kept saying it he liked it less, and started telling me how men aren't living anime hero lives and how people aren't as nice to guys they meet.I've been thinking about that, and I know that would take some getting used to, but I think I could eventually handle it. I'm working out to build muscle, which is just toning the muscles for now but I'm expecting to bulk up whenever I get to start testosterone.He said no one would take me seriously since I'm short, and I figure that already factors into how people treat me so I'm already used to being treated a certain way for being small. Plus there are plenty of men in history who were short but ended up being majorly influential, so being short doesn't mean I'm condemned to irrelevance.I'm in my ultimate Frisbee class this morning but I wanted to know, do I sound valid at all? How hard will it be to adjust to being a guy, what difficulties should I prepare for?
>>33952042I'm gonna level with you: very little of your responses indicate to me that you're transgender. I'd have an honest conversation with your therapist about why they don't think you are, and really listen to what they say. Good luck.
>>33952662You're obviously self conscious and insecure about your physique (because that's what influences how people treat you primarily, secondarily they sense your resulting insecurity)you ignored everything about this >>33951443except the 'big' part. you're being niggardly. selective reading. a fool. and misandrist, since you think you could 'handle guy's problems better' you can barely handle being yourself regardless of gender.
>>33951297You will never be a man.
Pooner
>>33951297>He said no one would take me seriously since I'm short, and I figure that already factors into how people treat me so I'm already used to being treated a certain way for being small.

What should I do to stop being attracted to children (both real and drawings)?
>>33949250>“sexy children” this is why no one likes republicans.
>>33933970Start finasteride, itt will make your libido dissapear.
Stop gooning, take SSRIs, go hiking, consider moving to a rural area.
>>33933970Do you want a serious answer based on neuropsychology or a meme answer like stop caring or kys?
>>33933970Because a teacher. You'll soon hate children. They are smelly, rude, and loud.
I come from an upper-upper-middle-class family where money hasn't really been an issue for more than a decade at this point, but we have always been very humble - we drive regular and own regular sized apartments, we still all work full-time etc. Combined family net worth is prob more than 1 million dollars, and mine alone is like 300k$+Every time that I am dating I always hide the fact that money is not an issue for me, dress regular, never show it off, however, I am still 29 and single.I do consider myself ugly (mouthbreather face) so I am playing on hard mode had a few flings, and the longest relationship I had was 1.5 years.I am wondering if I should stop pretending I am "mid"? Just tell a girl outright "you can live with me rent free don't worry about no bills" or something?Tell her I am fine she does not even have a job, as I earn enough anyway?She can scroll on her phone all day or go to the gym, see her friends or something during the day while I am at work.I am not talking about buying a brand new iPhone to every single girl I go on a date - I just want to tell a girl I am well off and I can make her life comfortable without giving the impression that I will buy her a Gucci bag worth 2000$ if she sleeps with me.Any anons who went a similar route or will this only end up with me getting gold-diggers full of drama who might divorce-rape me in the end?
>>33950440You think a NW of 300k / family total NW of $ 1 million is a lot? Where the fuck do you live buttfuck Mississippi?
>>33953009He's probably talking about real liquid assets not stuff like "I R a millionaire because I have a $999K mortgage on an $1M crack house in California LOL"
Get a bimax anon
You don't want to lead with money since you will attract women that think you're cool with giving her a $2000 Gucci bag every month (and expect that). Having said that, and I have a similar background to you, in my experience even if you live frugally there's going to be habits that are going to indicate you come from money. For me, it's never looking at the bill or overtipping.
>>33950440>Combined family net worth is prob more than 1 million dollars>I come from an upper-upper-middle-class familyNo you don't.
