because co-workers and family you usually have to keep the discussion to a limit
you can't reveal your power level without becoming a walking hr problem
you can get lucky and be born into an open minded family or have a job with more free wheeling coworkers (maritime, fire, trucking, oil), but you don't get to choose these people like you can with friends.
online you can be anonymous for the most part. the trick is finding friends you can be a loose canon with

>>34852084
People post things online exclusively to maximize attention, especially on other platforms where they might pay you for it. Of course what they have to say here is more interesting.
Most real life conversations serve a purpose, like talking to someone at work, or if someone needs your help.
Not every conversation needs to be an interesting story or funny joke. People make fun of small talk all the time but if you can't honestly and unironically speak with someone about the weather or a movie that just came out how are you supposed to talk to them earnestly about serious issues?

>got handed a "return to work" order by the court with no real expiry
I'm supposed to clock-in next Monday, as usual, to the same pay and treatment.
I consulted a lawyer and he told me the only reason this passed was because it was ordered by someone "in a higher station". My original contract allows me to walk-out whenever as long as I forfeit my end-of-term pay...

I just don't know what to do. The advice I got was to comply, and I'll comply, but what then?
There's too much work, too many hours with my head on the line all the time.
I can't continue to work there, I just fucking can't. I need an out but idk how.

What's the penalty for not showing to work? Dude this sucks, my blood is boiling on your behalf. At this point, if your employer tries to fuck you over you have to leave ASAP. No sense staying subservient to someone with malicious intent towards you. The good news is, as an engineer, you'll have better opportunities abroad and you can leave whatever shithole you're currently in.

Go to work and underperform. Document every little thing by sending corporate emails. "This nigger told me he will rape my wife and whip me if this isn't done by 10. It's unreasonable because bullshit reasons. I'm doing my best, sincerely anon".

Document psychological torment too and go to a psychiatrist to get prescribed antidepressants. Don't take them but say you are taking them. Go for about 3 to 6 months to the psych and excuse your resignation for health matters.

I used to work as a resident in an understaffed hospital. The contract said if I quit I should refund every single salary of the $2 per hour wage on 80h week, and if I graduated I was forbidden to take jobs in the private sector for 3 additional years. I burned out, started becoming suicidal and sought help, the help I found was "Do you want to quit?" Fuck these niggers, they don't need you.

Can someone help me stop being so autistic about this?
Basically, I opened up to my gf about some pretty trivial thing. A psychological hangup that in the grand scheme of things is a nothingburger. Near the end of the convo, she said she's here for me, and said: "but I don't want to be your therapist."
I kinda get it, I've had to comfort depressed NEET internet friends for ages and it gets exhausting. I try to avoid being that sort of person in general. And for reference, this is about the 2nd or 3rd time I've had a conversation about some anxiety of mine over the course of several years.
But her comment really bothered me. Isn't that what love is? I've comforted her wholeheartedly over job loss, family issues, or anxiety that stretched for weeks or months. When it's her, it's not labor to me. It has literally never bothered me. The thought of not being there for her is inconceivable. How could you see the person you love feeling distressed and not want to help them?
Am I being a huge bitchboy for wanting the same kind of sentiment?

What, so you should go talk to a therapist instead of her? Is she gonna pay up and send you to a therapist because she cares that little about your internal workings? Like what's the deal here, that you shouldn't talk to her about anything that's bothering you? Just go to a therapist or shut up about it and just get over it yourself? That your concerns don't matter and she doesn't wanna know or help solve any of it? Or that you shouldn't need a therapist or have any weak points?

Maybe ask her what she even means by "therapist"

So let me get this straight. So because OP is of a certain skin color, he's supposed to like the same things other people do, hang out with the same people, listen to the same music, have the same beliefs, date the same people, talk the same way as them, speak the same language, live the same lifestyle they do, and what? All because he has the same skin color as them? And he's the retarded one? Bro...

I feel a lot like this guy. Whenever I talk to girls they always cut the conversation short or act completely uninterested. When they do talk to me they end up mentioning their fucking boyfriend or husband.

Just the other day I stopped a girl at the gym said she looked strong and to keep it up and she just went went "w-WHATT?!?!" then I repeated myself and she was like "ohh :/". That kind of interaction is typical for me. Its not fair that guys like me have to work 10x as hard to get girls and constantly get rejected just because we are 5 8 and not super chad thundercock 6 pack 6 foot and 6 figure salary.

Why does no one talk about how big of a deal this is?

Women are defensive to men they don't know in general, not just you. Don't take it personally.
Yes, an extremely good looking man might have less of a problem with this but it's still a problem for guys like that too.
It has been the case since the dawn of fucking time that most women will reject you. This is because of who they are, not because of who you are. You can either accept that and keep trying until one is interested or you can be alone forever. Your choice.
>>
>>34853080
Just keep trying. Think of it as collecting data. Try different approaches until you find something that works.
Women will always reject most men and that's true for almost any animal.
Just be thankful we're not spiders where rejection means the female eats you.

I struggle a lot with mental health. I think I experience symptoms of social anxiety, audhd, ocd, depression and bpd. I don't want a therapist, I'm scared to get diagnosed as it may not allow me to continue my carreer due to being either deemed too unstable/dangerous or due to meds and maybe I will also lose my ability to drive. On the other hand I do want to get better. But I also wish my parents or teachers picked up on it when Iwas younger so I got therapy and could just refuse to speak and be a problematic child. I want to get locked up, restraint and so drugged that I would just be a mindless zombie. I don't want to get better just get worse and worse and worse.

How do you deal with the retards here if you're a gaijin dealing with Japanese that lack spatial awareness? I live near Tokyo and even though there's usually plenty of space, some of these retards walk straight thinking I'll move aside for them when they can easily avoid me.

That feels like my situation. I'm smart enough that I've always been able to get by in the end without fucking up my life, but I have nothing to show for it either. I'm going into the trades soon am I am seriously considering becoming one of those guys that just works all day every day because free time seems to just end up making me miserable.

Why does nothing interest or excite me anymore?
It feels like there's nothing new under the sun.

It's not to say I never feel that emotion towards anything, but it's muted and fleeting compared to how I use to be.

I'm not depressed. I used to be. I know what depression is. Hell, I think I enjoyed things more back then. Now I'm semi-functional and have a full time job. Maybe life is just dragging me down. Maybe I'm getting old. Maybe I've experienced everything and there's nothing else out there to discover. I don't know.

What's the best way to react when you're at a Target store shopping for headphones and you notice a loss prevention employee suspiciously standing at the end of the aisle casually looking in your direction for a long time?

You know, a girl in her 20s, probably doing this as a job while in college, just obviously standing there cause they suspect you might steal some headphones?
