learn to play piano.
Being able to do two different patterns at the same time with both hands improves brain function because you need signals to cross from the left and right halves of your brain to do it. These neural pathways naturally improve other functions like articulations, thinking, memory, problem solving etc.

Spend less time alone and indoors. Even just existing quietly around other people in public will eventually make you feel less socially retarded and anxious.

How do I stop worrying about my height? I'm between 5'10 - 5'11.5 (Results were between these depending) I haven't measured myself properly since I was like 19 almost 4 years ago because Im afraid of it being a number I don't like.
I am constantly upset when I see men taller then me, it creates an deep anxiety. Women my height or taller then me while uncommon also upsets me.
How can I cope? How can I stop worrying about this?

Damn anon thats crazy

a bit of a metathread

since I'm a yurifag, my instagram feed is full of yuri and the result is that sometimes I get a post from some american queer artist™ (usually lesbian, sometimes "transbian"), usually some unfunny webcomic about how hot they find women and how much they love lesbian/sapphic/queer(you get the idea) sex. Most posts made by faggots/troons on /lgbt/ or their respective discord servers, they all are fixated around the idea of very gay sex.

And then I realised, you never see straight women act this way. At the last "party/rave" I was at (because a normie I used to know pitied me), all the girls hung around only with girls, if they talked to a guy there were like huge friendzone vibes. None of the guys tried to show interest (including me), since nobody wanted to handle the embarrassment of getting rejected and being called a creep. The lesbian (which I knew from a previous party (same normie dude, I was really lucky, I'm still an autistic retard, proof me writing this shit) where she also tried to kiss some girl, got to kiss some girl this time. I just know had I acted the same way, it would be over for me. I hate her, but I think I'm also even crushing on her, which is even worse.

Even if you look at the "cultural" institutions of LGBT, by that I mean pride parades and gay bars and queer metups and shit like that, all of them are pretty straight forward in their purpose, bringing faggots together so that they can fuck afterwards and I guess that works out pretty great for them. You could also write it off as LGBT being a hedonistic sex cult, but come on, everybody would like to have sex once in a while (except straight women).

Straight people don't have such institutions and even those which exist (bars, night clubs and so on) don't work.

Never thought I'd be envious of faggots, but here I am.

real answer: straight women also love sex. but they don't trust men, for a reason. a lot of men can be physically and psychologically dangerous to them. a lot of them will rape. so a woman needs to feel comfortable with a man before being more intimate, usually. this is the main difference with the other interactions in your picture:
>gay sex: men aren't afraid of other men
>lesbian sex: no dangerous men so easy to be comfortable
>tranny sex: men aren't afraid of other men
a woman usually have to trust you before moving forward with sex, even for a casual encounter. since you are giving aspie vibes, it is hard to be comfortable around you. improve urself

straight women like sex, but it often is not worth risking getting raped or having a creep stalking you because you hooked up once
>>
>>35025979
>lesbian sex: no dangerous men so easy to be comfortable
Nope, statistically, lesbians have single highest rates of domestic violence, far higher than gay couples or straight couples. Lesbians constantly beat the shit out of eachother.

Women also get married to serial killers in prison lol.
>>
>>35026386
Trannies get beaten up the most from casual sex and yet they still seek it out.
Stats don't kill boners- until straight men/straight women

>>35025917
Most of the women in my life won't stfu about x,y,z man (fictional or nonfictional) they wanna get pumped by. My gf pervs out on me constantly and baits me into sex anytime we're alone for 30 minutes. Her exact wording about lesbians last time the subject was broached was: "can't we just fucking burn them like Salem?"

You gotta get the fuck out of whatever gayass social circle you're in OP.

Unfortunate enough to be a bong and our government is retarded enough to demand every website age ID users.

4chan appropriately told them to fuck off and UK regulator OFCOM has been unable to collect any fines. But we're now realistically looking at 4chan getting blocked here.

I frequent the video game related boards; it's silly but here gives me a sense of belonging; I love getting to talk about my passions with fellow autsits. Not like shitty Reddit where you can't speak your mind less someone checks your post history.

I know that VPNS, DNS, etc can help me bypass such things, but 4chan prevents VPN users from posting; I don't just wanna watch. I'm kinda bummed out about it. Amy advice or how to prepare encase this comes to pass?

>>35027786
>But we're now realistically looking at 4chan getting blocked here.
It takes no time to implement a DNS block, as they have done for numerous sites before.
I reckon someone had a word in Ofcom's ear about the true reason this site still exists and has its Cloudflare fees paid each month.
>>
>>35028119
Pretty sure they have to request it first and (it will most likely given all the pearl clutchers got us in this position) be approved by court.

Not that it's a hard thing to do (or bypass) but rather they haven't purused it yet for 4chan as they go for fines first, which has clearly failed.

>gf hid away all my pictures and gifts from her apartment, removed my picture from her lockscreen and deleted our travel pictures from her instagram
Is it over? She said she did it because it made her sad to see them when she was alone, but I feel like she's distancing herself from me and spiritually breaking up with me. The same thing happened in my last relationship.

This, you should tell her you to just remain sex-friends.
>>
>>35024643
You're clearly dissatisfied with the distance, OP. It's okay to have some self respect and move along with your life. How often is she looking at all her travel pictures on instagram anyway? She literally doesn't even have to open the album. I won't jump to foul play, but that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You just love yourself more and/or find someone that doesn't erase the existence of your relationship from the internet.
>>
>>35024643
Yeah it's over. She wants to appear single to potential partners. You have been downgraded to a backup.
>>
>>35024643
You gotta run this through the mom analog OP. Right now your mom has a fuckload of pictures of you arranged around her house because she loves you and wants to be constantly reminded of your existence. That's how a woman regards the people she loves and wants around her. Point is this chick no longer see's you as someone to reminisce over or cherish her memories with. Heighten your guard and prepare to ditch her at the first whiff of cheating. Assume it's already happening.

I've lost 4 people in my life in the past 5 months. 3 long term friends and 1 bf. I still have other friends but now I just don't even get the desire to talk to them anymore. I'm so mentally drained. I wanna meet someone new.

I really honestly could not have predicted 2 of my longest lasting friends turning out to be bad people. I was friends with one of them for 6 years, and the other for 4 years. They've only recently shown their true colors to me. As for my ex boyfriend, I didn't know him for that long so I guess I should've gotten to know him better.

Bump

I'm in the same spot OP, I don't really like online reddit or discord-esque spaces, dating apps seem like a humiliation ritual, ordinary social media is to keep in touch with friends not make new ones (I don't have that anyways). I'm from a semi-conservative place too, so it's a little bit more difficult to find people.

Discord online spaces is actual purgatory, everyone on there is a lobotomite. Genuine sheeple

I can really only focus when playing video games, anything else is troublesome. I can spend 40+ hours in a row playing a videogame, but I can't get myself to spend 30 minutes to clean or cook a nice meal. How can I get that kind of focus into other areas of my life?

It's over isn't it. She's got to be bipolar. Too good to be true. Was contemplating marrying her before all this happened but I can't be married to someone bipolar.
>>
>>35027886
If she's actually bipolar, medication can help. But if she were, I don't think it would have taken you an entire year to notice.
>>
>>35027886
Well does it matter that they're following her substack (if it were true)? She thinks she's getting stalked or sthn?
>>
>>35027917
yeah the two people were people who relentlessly stalked my wife when we were together. she's concluded that from two randoms following her after we got together that they are those two people. But she's hard committed despite no evidence, their profiles have been going for years before we got together. shes talked about going to the police about it. the third person is a friend whom she's just decided she can't trust and that my friend wants to be with me. writing it down makes it sound less unhinged but it's coupled with getting 0 sleep and still being full of energy. talking really fast and going off on completely unrelated tangents randomly.
>>
>>35027925
Well these beliefs are technically falsifiable, find out if the accounts are those people or not, and find out if the friend actually wants to be with you or not. Then tell her you don't want retarded babies so you're gonna find someone else to be with.

You definately try therapies that were labelled worse? If it's free of cost then sure whatever. If you're paying for "worse" therapy, then, why? You feel sorry for them or something?

>idk why i do that
If you don't know why, I don't think there's any way we're going to figure it out. Do you get some enjoyment out of this? What's the appeal?>>35027924

My girlfriend is a great person overall. But I'm not satisfied by her sexually. I'm her first and everything is quite vanilla. Other than that she is also bodily not my exact type but I felt comfort in this relationship as we hardly have any arguments and she is quite traditional. For one example, she's flat chested. I had a lot of baddies in my life but it never ended well. I still yearn for that type of women but I'm consciously battling my lust to wave it off. I feel like if I leave my relationship, I might regret it later but I know for sure that I have been more physically happy with other women in the past and there is definitely someone out there who might be more compatible. But then again, there is no end to that loop is it?

as it nears winter my yearly depression is starting to kick in again. when this matter occurs i start to lose all of my motivation to arrive at school on time or even doing exceedingly basic tasks like flossing my damn teeth, regrding which my molars are very flat and hollow as a result of this neglect. showering is not my biggest concern either since everybody is repulsed by my objectively ugly appearance enough to maintain their nostrils a fair distance away from me. although i say this to provide context and not to sound like a whiney SOB

when i feel a little better i keep telling myself i will do this productive activity and this and so on... but soon as i get home i sleep for hours. i will sleep instead of eating .

would really appreciate self discipline advice or something otherwise that will help me get better all the same, advice from other femanons is appreciated but i understand that beggers can't be choosers

thank you

Figure out what's actually necessary and what isn't. Teeth you'd probably want to maintain because of all the consequences if you don't. Showering you might be able to get away if you aren't that sweaty. Etc.
