Friends, parties, social experiences, sexual experiences with women my age, all the things a normal, developing brain needs. I wasted all 4 years of high school and college hiding from everyone on my computer, now my chances are gone. People my age are getting married, I have no outlets to even meet women or make friends. My life is over, I wasted it. Every day is the same, I work, come home and rot. I wasted my life.

The problem of work is, legit people just focus on working from here on. They stop making time for friends or take free time, because now every choice has the consequence of pay cut or workplace politics consequence.

Coworkers are in different stages of life, with different priorities. You're there lost, being emotionally undeveloped so your priorities are not even the same as someone your age.

If you live in a shithole, infrastructure issues like traffic, extreme economic disparity, makes you stay trapped in a ghetto where there are no clubs and people are always moody at worst and apathetic at best, while places with rich, sane people are gated to invitation only.

Personally I was attending japanese classes, there were only autistic introverts there. There wasn't enough people for the next level so I have to wait 2 months to resume. Meanwhile I am a NEET, my work competence is forgotten, and even if I worked I would be underpaid and overworked. I feel absolutely trapped and personal ideas of pride and perfectionism I cling on to aren't helping me to have options open, an economy or any way out. I am rotting.

How do you even learn about wines? I work front of the house in a restaurant, I often get people asking me "which one of your wines is the closest to a chardonnay? which one is dry? which one is fruity?" and I have no fucking clue, nor does anybody else in the restaurant, the bottles have absolutely no information written on them about this shit

Not really. There's 3 layers : people who drink wine. People who worry about the wine they are drinking. People who actually know about the wine they are drinking. The last category are mostly professional tasters or sellers. The middle categories are what you call the """psuedo-intellectual""" (wtf that means). The first category is the vast majority of wine drinkers.

Truth be told, wine enthusiasts are pseuds. Anyone know that event where some sommelier won with a cheap gas station wine that he labeled something fancy, and they all began comparing tastes and praising the fruity nutty blah blah flavor and astringency and shit? It's bullshit most of the time.
Rules to make yourself appear knowledgeable to normies: 80% of all wines are dry. When in doubt, call it dry
All frizzante are dry
Porto is sweet
Red is more astringent
White is more flavourful
Rose is for women, but it's generally dryer and more tasteless than red or white, but for some reason women love it (probably marketing magic)
Spritz is wine with mineral water
You drink wine to wash the palate after eating greasy acidic food, in a restaurant setting, you don't drink wine to "get drunk"
Wine "names" are from the type of grapes that they're made from. So a "chardonnay" is a wine made out of the chardonnay variety of grapes.

dropped out of highschool a few years ago and have been a neet ever since. im turning 20 in a few weeks which im dreading.
my parents said that theyd be willing to pay for me to go to community college if i can find some way to prove to them i wouldnt just drop out again. proving that to them would probably take at least a year as id need to enroll in some kind of program and stick with it long enough.
im super autistic and retarded, never really had any friends, and super afraid of social shit so im wondering if it would even be worth a shot or if id just be some weird old guy amongst a bunch of teens.
google says its perfectly normal for college freshmen to be in their 20s or whatever but i dont trust it so im hoping to hear from people with real experience of what college is like.

So I was talking to this girl I matched with and we talked for a few minutes. Made me feel like she was interested. Turns out she was never interested, she was just fucking with me for shits and giggles to humiliate men who have the audacity to try and find women online and then called me a loser before she blocked me.

How do you detect if a girl has this intention early on so I don't waste my fucking time and energy on them?

Years later, I have very complicated answers.
I was happiest when
>I was with my first gf
I also drove myself insane trying to get her to hold my hand when she wanted to date with no physical contact. Don’t really want to dwell on this one, so let’s just say it’s as weird as it sounds.
>when I was the best at my job.
The company was greedy and paid little.
And it was a dead end gig.
>when I saved a dog.
This one was okay. But working to support myself means I have less and less time with an aging animal. He’s mostly taken care of by family now.

Things I can say I’m proud of follow a similar pattern.

Long story short im 30 and bipolar, major depressive, bad anxiety blah blah blah. I have a good job, friends, hobbies, exercise, etc. but finally got on meds and it has helped a lot. Only taking 25mg Zoloft (I know this is not usually used for bipolar but it has definitely helped keep me baseline and totally killed depression and suicidal thoughtS) but social anxiety still spikes for me. Should I legitimately consider Xanax or will it fuck me up that bad long term? I took it once with booze and it was the best id ever felt

don't read too much into it. only heavily hallucinogenic psychedelics can reprogram your mind, and that can be a rather unpleasant experience.

Ketamine isn’t a psychedelic and it’s the only drug used medically to” reprogram” patients in the sense of restoring brain plasticity. You can’t walk into a doctor’s office in the USA and ask for hallucinogens, but you can ask for ketamine if other drugs don’t work. Ketamine in a clinical setting is a lot safer for brain reprogramming than recreational hallucinogen use. John C. Lilly, practically the founder of human brain reprogramming, mainly used ketamine and isolation tanks

Women are superficial creatures unless you dont damn near rape her during the date or are so socially awkward to the point of being repulsive you should be able to get sex if you are handsome.

Make sure not to say stupid crap like I love you or show even the slightest bit of attraction. Not to the point of being casual or boring, you should make her feel weirdly tense. If she is too comfortable then you've lost her.

my gf's mom is threatening my gf if she leaves and moves out, she will be off the will and dead to her. We both are trying to move out of state and we can afford it, but her mother insists on her living here in her house until the day she dies. I told my gf that is a very selfish and narcissistic thing of her mom to pull. It pretty much isn't fair that her mom was able to live her life, and my gf has to rot and waste her prime doing nothing all day at home. Her mother refuses to do outdoor activates, complains about politics all day, fights with my gf because she isn't living some girl boss 6 figure life, and tries to basically control every other aspect of her life. I love my gf and she has been super loyal and amazing for me, I really don't want to lose her over something like this. I understand it really isn't my place to interject, because this is a family matter after all. I would just like any advice on how to help my gf solve this situation as peaceful as possible.

I feel bad.
One of my friends had liked me since we were both 14 but I never liked him back.
He was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 and died two months ago in June. I took care of him a lot his last year as his condition worsened.
In April he asked me if I could be his girlfriend during the short time he had left. I told him that I would think about it.
And I did think about it.
But I decided that I didn't want to have a relationship with someone I didn't love that way.
I never answered him clearly.
And now he's gone.
And I think maybe I was heartless.
Did I do the wrong thing?

If your wife isn't obese, have her sleep next to the baby, this will stop her from screaming.
research how to approach "cosleeping" in a safe way without risking rolling on the baby.
If she sleeps in a crib she will cry nonstop and you won't get any sleep
>>
1st year:
Change a few diapers, make sure your wife has all her basic needs met, manage anything that might kill the baby (some aren't obvious like being close to a heater) , play with the baby a bit every day to keep her calm.

>>34852870
Cosleeping doesn't stop crying. It kept everyone at our house from getting getting enough sleep from having to move throughout the night. When they're old enough to sleep in a crib let them. The first few nights will be crying nonstop . Pull all nighters playing video games and ignore it if the kid's needs were met. The crying stops in a few days and they learn soothe themselves to sleep. If they keep cosleeping they don't do it on their own.

we're thinking about doing cosleeping in the first few months and also we bought a small baby bed to put in between us 2. but she will still wake up crying I think

I'll try to be as brief as possible. I have a best friend who got married a few months ago. He's extremely happy and so committed that he's looking for a promotion at his job, thinking about his future family. I have mutual acquaintances with his wife because we all studied together. I spoke with one of these people, and we ended up talking about their wedding.

The girls revealed to me that my friend's wife had a "love affair" with a guy at a party. I asked who the guy was, andt hey showed me a picture of the guy talking to her.

I asked when it happened, and they wouldn't tell me the date. So? Should I tell my friend, whom I consider a brother? They didn't say the date, and I checked the profiles of those involved and didn't find any party to try to find out the date, but it seems that this guy just had sex with her in the bathroom or something disgusting to that extent.

Before he married her, we all played Chivalry 2 almost all the time... He must know about this, but it would certainly ruin all his happiness. What would you do?

I'm not the one you were replying to, but I'd really like to know, what's wrong with being a virgin? There are a few reasons I can think of, but I don't think they have any merit. Is it because it means you don't mesh with other people? I think that's a good thing. Other people tend to be horrible, and they do everything they can to extract value from you. Is it because you're failing to extract value from your environment and not being courageous enough? I think entrepreneurship and courage are the values of high functioning sociopaths who dictate our culture. giving up or being entirely overwhelmed are more reasonable responses to the circumstances of being alive, the idea of me being what you and others seem to want people to be is completely out of my headspace. You say basement dweller as an insult which is also common. I don't agree with that either. It's the idea of never having achieved anything, but nobody can hope to achieve anything even if you do leave the basement, get a job and a family whatever. That isn't an accomplishment to me, it's just following exactly what you were told to do. Unfortunately the only way to really accomplish things in the eyes of our society is to kill a lot of people or create / organise something which does that. But it also has to be in line with our values so you can't just go Adam Lanza and slaughter our slaves in training. I do agree with the idea that living for entertainment is very pathetic though. But a lot of people's attitude to sex is really entertainment adjacent though. The most reasonable thing I think you could say about the failing of virgins is that they're neglecting their role as a biological organism. But this is also somewhat unconvincing in my eyes because I think it would be better if biological life didn't exist. Anyway sorry to ramble. I'm curious why you feel the way you do.

Attempting suicide by drinking pills or cutting your wrist is just bait for attention because you know it probably won't work.

Men like this are just autists who were hurt/lonely during highschool and never recovered from it. It's easy to interpret a woman being your friend as sadistic manipulation when you can't intuitively read social cues.
