I feel like my parents are forcing me to go to college, they won't support any other way.
I feel like I will have a better chance becoming a man by cutting them out and starting by myself alone.
I don't know many skills. I feel like being completely independent will force me to learn. I feel like having a cushy apartment and car all paid for by daddy will continue to make my life useless.
I don't feel like I can become a real man in college.
age 21

Get into a real trade, OP, then move to South America and practice it there. Everything is so half assed there you'd be no.1 in your field within a year.

You're smart enough to realize that privilege can make you soft, but not smart enough as to actually learn how to toughen up while taking hold of that privilege so your only solution is to run away from it all and become a basic ass person because "oohh but then no one can ever tell me dad helped I did it all by myself please clap". I don't like entitled people but you're cutting potential away from your life, something that your parents spent years building up to because of your sense of pride. Yeah anon leave it all and learn that life is harsh no one cares if you're shooting yourself in the foot. And you didn't understand what >>34583534 meant but they're right, you could find some compromise between what your parents are willing to give and what you want to do to build yourself up.

If it's paid for, do college.
If you have an IQ of at least 125, do college.
If you're extremely well adjusted socially, do college.

Otherwise, it sounds like you're better off finding your own path. College sets dumb and midwit people up for failure. It teaches all sorts of standardizations to life that just aren't real. The reason I mentioned high IQ people is they're the ones to figure out when their professors had it wrong. The socially well adjusted will succeed through networking and bullshittery. If it's paid for by someone else, obviously it's worth it. Otherwise, it's probably not worth trading debt and four years of your life for a slip of paper that convinces normies you're better than them.

Earlier in life you learn to say no to your parents, the better.
I'm not talking a teenager girl running away with some old guy, or a kid doing drugs, but your judgement is better than theirs for what to do with your life and you prioritize your own well-being more than they actually do, even they think they have the best intention.
I didn't learn to tell my parents to fuck off until my 30's and it really screwed up my life. Basically feels like I lost a decade and wasn't truly an adult until I stopped letting them push me around.

I've been trying to set up a date with this chick for like 3 weeks now. I was sick the first week, she was busy the entire second week and so far this week she isn't responding ans last week she said this week only Thursday is good. She's a terrible texter because apparently she works like 13 hour days as a nurse and has no time for anything ever. Its very annoying. Id kinda assume shed make some time for just one evening for one date but apparently that's really hard for her. All im asking for is like 4 hours at the end of the day for drinks, and she cant find any time for it.
I haven't even met her yet.
When we do text we get along pretty well and her responses are enthusiastic and with humor and genuine interest, just pretty unreliable when shell text back.
This whole thing was actually set up by a mutual friend of ours. I've never had a serous date so I really wanna go out with her just to go on a date but of course im gonna get a girl who makes it a pain in the ass.
I dont wanna give up until I see her just once, even though this is all annoying and suggesting a lack of effort on her part.

Any anons deal with something like this?

Are there actually zoomies 20-25 years old starting side businesses?

And I mean actual businesses, not scalping pokemon or making shittok videos. I hear on the internet all the time about some young 23 yo or whatever starting up a landscaping business or others doing online work etc etc.

Am I just falling for internet bullshit? It seems farfetched to me that a zoomer, the most phone addicted mentally ill group convinced someone to let them mow their lawn or whatever and they're able to do uni. Is this only possible with blue collar tradie skills? How does one just magically do this

get a flight to a country that allows suicide, such as (i believe) sweeden and norway,
there are companies that you can book an appointment with that will put you in a pod that will fill with hydrogen gas, thus suffocating you painlessly.
I believe Amerimutts/eu fags can visit with minimal resistence.
You'll need a couple grand to cover the flight and appointment, but past that, it's that simple

OR YOU COULD DO SOMETHING THAT'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

Or you can take meds that'll basically kill you, mentally that is.

Hi if you all are interested in the impact of relationships and platonic friendships in adolescence, I am doing this survey for my Society and Culture class and ill be very thankful if you take a short time out of your day because I need a lot of responses.

Its not anonymous. You can see what emails opened your doc.

I work in a Cruise Ship terminal owned by one company but operated by another. Technically, this means I have two bosses, fucking fantastic right? I belong to the former company and my gripe is with the operators, the latter.

In a certain part of the terminal there's Ubers picking up passengers in a place that they don't have authorization for due to an existing contract with the local taxi companies and possibly other reasons.

However the primary concern is safety because Uber drivers aren't vetted and at least with taxi drivers yes they work themselves but they're also represented by an organization with professional standards.

My plan is to pose as a guest getting off of the ship who then gets into an Uber in an unauthorized zone. What can I do to make the latter company accountable for a serious incident such as for example, safety, personal injury theft, etc.

Thanks for your time.

Is it true that cruise ships nowadays are mostly blacks

My boss gave me a pretty bad dressing down in front of everyone (nearly 40 people)

I made a silly mistake and my boss and superior ended up sending some files to another firm who saw it, I actually told my other superior this about my mistake immediately and he said it’s fine and he would inform them. Didn’t hear anything of it, that was Friday
Anyway so I’m sitting at my desk and my boss comes up to me, slams down the sheets and ask if what my deal is

I’m thinking he’s doing a bit so I ask what his deal is. He looks at me and begins , in front of everyone, to go on a rant about ik immature, I’m a joke, I’m dragging this company down, how could I be so selfish. For about nearly 10 minutes he did this, in front of people I train and other coworkers and I just blanked out. After he stopped I just went to my car, and my other superior came out and said it’s ok if I go home for the day

This is the first mistake I’ve ever made, if he had corrected me privately even, or yelled at me in private fine but he pretty much dressed me down in front of people who look up to me
I don’t know if I should quit, because it seems irredeemable to me. Is quitting the way to go? Btw he acted like nothing happened today , so I’m probably not fired but Fuck
Would you quit?

Immediately look for other work. Whether you quit or halfass your job until you're fired is up to you. When you do leave, tell your boss that the decision is 100% because of his behavior, all the better if you can write a resignation letter and cc your boss's boss

The advice I would give you is three fold:

1: Read the 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene. This will teach you how to deal with people in power, and how to project power and respect from others without looking like a cringe retard, becuase doing shit like >>34586757
is stupid, childish, and lands you in prison, and then who really won?

2: Read How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie. This will help you manage stress.

3: Watch Ed Hone's YouTube channel. He's an attorney specializing in employment law, and his videos tell you how to navigate scenarios like this while simultaneously building a case that will fuck over the company while protecting you.

>>34586834
Unironically this. Don't leave a job unless your mental health is getting seriously impacted. Especially in this job market. But most of the time you can engage in "Dissociative Work Behavior" which is where you show up, do the minimum, and become a stupid little yes man until you find a new job. Basically, you have ZERO emotional attachment to the job, and you focus outward.

Also most major platforms are cracking down on undisclosed AI use so the overwhelming likely result is you get banned for posting, go in knowing it and focus on character work and personality, pictures on their own are undifferentiated these days.

Well damn, yeah, I'm out of luck. I must find something new. Thought I had it with this AI thing. I just wanna make a side buck.

What am i even supposed to do in this world? My entire life, I have felt wrong and like i'm missing a part of my brain that makes me human. I'm so retarded in social situations that i don't think i've had a meaningful connection with someone ever. I feel like a complete waste of a woman, i am so bleak and offputting that no matter how allegedly 'attractive' my features are or how much effort i put into my appearance nobody will ever even pretend to like me enough to have a kind of enjoyable relationship. I know that i will never have any type of happy life that my mind desperately craves. I hate this awful world that is run by awful people, and i don't want to be a cog in this evil machine. I feel like my life is completely over even though i'm only 18. I can't imagine living an entire lifetime feeling like this. I really feel like i should just kill myself so my family doesn't have to watch me suffer but i'm too scared of permanently crippling myself and making my life 100x worse to follow through. also no cute cartoon gals in the nonexistent heaven

In the same boat here. At some point you just have to admit to yourself that you are not "normal". The fancy hip word is "neurodivergent".

At best you can make up some fake personas you can act out to hold a job and deal with annoying people. It's really exhausting though.
It can help to find other people who are in the same boat. At the least so you can complain to people who get it.

Thank you anons for your words, I've been thinking more critically about how to get myself out of this way of thinking. All of my problems are seemingly caused by my own inaction and i can recognize my learned helplessness, so i'm trying to think of ways to change what i am doing now. This isn't enjoyable at all and i've been puking from anxiety all day but i know that change is not something easy when i've been stuck in my ways. I threw together a resume today and i'm going to force myself to at the very least apply to part time jobs in my area, applied to one today. Maybe being forced to interact with others in a wagie setting will lead to something better through training my social skills because i don't know any other settings i would talk to people naturally

I am white and look like a child. I'm 5ft with round features. I don't think i am particularly 'ugly' but i don't look sexually appealing. I also know from what other people tell me is that i look unhappy at all times even when i am happy/smiling as naturally as i can. No idea how much i weigh, i have a disconnect with my own body because i used to be anorexic and severely underweight. I'm at if i had to guess a normal weight on a small bone structure. I hardly leave my house other than to go to stores.

Don't you think this is the reason why men don't approach you? Nowadays, men are ostracized even when they approach an 18 year old and they're like in their 20s... I think that many guys might find you cute but be afraid of approaching you in the case you're a literal child... I had a cousin that had this same problem as you, even when she drove around town law enforcement would stop her thinking she was a 12 year old driving her parent's car, lol

>I hardly leave my house other than to go to stores.
That also might be the second reason, guys may not even have the opportunity to approach you if you don't go outside.
>>
>>34588549
>Don't you think this is the reason why men don't approach you?
Yes, i don't like it but i don't go out of my way to look more stereotypically 'adult'. I wish people would ask for age instead of their preconceived notions though i understand why others would think that's an awkward interaction..
I would like to leave the house more but i never know what to do. I live in a very rural area so i don't have things to easily go to, made even more difficult because i don't have my license. I'm working on that though
>even when she drove around town law enforcement would stop her thinking she was a 12 year old driving her parent's car, lol

I hope that doesn't happens to you, specially if you're in America, I've seen so many videos of police brutality, it's kinda of crazy.

>i don't like it but i don't go out of my way to look more stereotypically 'adult'
You don't need to though, unless you really want to, I think that once the person you're talking to gets to know your real age, it won't matter as much.

>I would like to leave the house more but i never know what to do.
>I live in a very rural area so i don't have things to easily go to
Don't rural areas usually have rodeos and things like that? Sorry, I grew up in a big city, so most of what I know about rural areas comes from TV and the vacations I took as a teenager. But I think there must be plenty of things to do. You can go horseback riding, fishing, hiking, hunting, camping, attend local fairs and festivals, work on outdoor projects, keep animals, garden, or just spend time enjoying nature. I actually plan on living in a rural area once I've saved enough money. For me, nothing beats the tranquility and slower pace of life.

i've never been hugged by a man who wasn't my dad or my bf. my country is also one where friends don't really hug, it's seen as a bit intimate (even though some friends do it, just not most). literally i've never hugged my sister even if we spend a lot of time together even as adults.
to get to the point yeah i am not very used to hugging and it has always felt a bit awkward to me. so, one of my his male friends always hugs both of us when we see him anywhere. and i don't think he did this for the first few years only somewhat recently. it makes me feel extremely, EXTREMELY awkward/nervous but i also never want to be impolite and decline. because he always hugs me (and my boyfriend of course too), and thanks to me feeling nervous around men in general, i think i actually started liking it. and maybe even him as a person, but i am not sure.
i think the issue comes from me feeling like my bf isn't very into displays of affections. not even in public, just at home. he hugs me rarely, only sometimes if i'm sad and am open about it to him, and we never kiss either.

in short i feel sad that me and my bf don't do anything romantic such as hugging or kissing, and when his friend hugs me i get relief from receiving affection.
>inb4 just ask bf to hug/kiss you more
then he'll get sad or angry and keep saying he can never do anything right and then i never know what to do and i just drop the topic and don't bring it up again.

You're stupid. Just tell him you want hugs and kisses and then he'll feel happy because his gf likes him and wants hugs and kisses from him. If he doesn't then he's stupid. This post has to be ragebait
