Now I regret it. Back when I went to school there were A LOT of fights. In middle school in specific there was a fight literally every single day, not even exaggerating. Then elementary school had a decent amount of fights, high school had the least fights but still had them. I was always too much of a weak nerd to fight. Always came in last place in PE class. The others kids would bully the shit out of me and I did nothing. I acted nice and tried to de-escalate the situation as much as possible, often telling the bullies that they're awesome and I suck, sometimes de-escalating did work for them to leave me alone and other times didn't, and then after that screaming into my pillow out of extreme anger as soon as I got home because I knew if I were bigger and stronger I would beat the shit out of them, and I wanted to. I always saw those kids getting into fights and I somewhat lived vicariously through them. Saw them rolling around on the floor. Punching the shit out of each other. Bruises and blood. Fat lips. Black eyes. Some days even a wardrobe malfunction or two which to me was funny if it was a boy and sexy if it was a girl. And all that time I thought why can't I fight back like that?Now these days since I never got the drama and fights out of my system when I was a kid I low-key kind of keep hoping that every time I go out in public someone will start shit with me, get close to my face, so that then I have an excuse to beat the shit out of them because I never got into the fights and feel like I missed out. I don't really know what to do with these feelings. It's not like I can go back to the past. If I could I'd tell my past self to beat the shit out of anyone who bullies him in school or else he'll regret not fighting back in the future. So I just don't know what to do. Fights as a kid will get you at worst lunch detention, suspension, expelled, juvy, etc...but as an adult it gets you straight to jail or prison. So I really missed out.
>>34524698This is probably really bad advice but if you're truly that desperate to get into fights then go to a mental hospital...I'm not joking. I'm been to the mental hospital several times and at least for the ones I went to you could get into fights with the other patients in there and you would never get into any legal trouble unless you just literally actually killed the other patient. The worst you'd really get is seclusion for like an hour and/or a needle shot to calm you down which honestly wasn't even that bad the few times I had it done to me. So if you're really desperate then go to a mental hospital, tell them you're feeling suicidal and that you have plans to kill yourself, they'll take you in and that'll be it. How long you stay may vary but they usually keep you between 3 to 7 days. Price can be an issue but the ones I went to were actually free and there were homeless people and drug addicts there. Don't bring too much stuff if any with you because the mental hospital staff can lose your belongings. Don't bring anything with laces be it shoes, hoodies, or pants because they'll make you take out the laces and they'll probably lose them. If by the very small chance you're female then don't bring bras. I've heard female patients complain about how they were forced to be braless. But yeah that's about it. Pretty bad advice but if you're desperate there it is. Don't say I didn't warn you it's bad advice though.
>>34524698Sounds to me like you need to take up boxing or MMA. Get together with other guys who need full-contact fighting to feel complete, and beat the shit out of each other once a week.Who knows, you might end up being good at it and winning some trophies.
>>34524698> I don't really know what to do with these feelings.Join a local MMA gym and get it out of your system. If you get injured or brain damaged, that’s on you.
>>34527584yeah that is pretty bad advice
>>34527525Tell me about it. I can't count the amount of times I asked someone to step outside if they want to fight me so bad and often they straight up will apologize to you after doing an entire tough guy act lolT. an extremely skinny and unmuscular man>>34524698OP where do you live? If you live somewhere with a strong soccer/football culture you could become a hooligan.

The worst thing you can do to yourself is not accept you and every woman around you is human and makes mistakes.

I've read most of camus and I'm wondering if I should read the divine comedy or a happy death.
a happy death helps you appreciate the stranger so that's nicewhen you say divine comedy do you mean like the Dante one or are you talking about The Fall by Camus? not a huge fan of The FallInferno is incredible and basically mandatory for a literate Westerner. If you're an adult, Purgatorio has interesting things to say about changing your life and virtue. But Paradiso is not great. It's like God emperor of dune where there's barely any plot and it constantly stops so the author can just tell you his big ideas about what's really going on
>>34524030I could not read Dante. I imagine the translation matters. I do not think I had a nice translation.
>be dante>write a book about hell >put all the dead people you dont like in hell>big twist at the end: people you dont like that are still alive are already in hell and they are puppeted by demons on earth >see satans ballsack>profitUnironically an amazing book thoI havent finished paradiso but i agree its probably the weakest or at least the hardest to understand

All the women I meet keep mentioning the "bear minimum". What's that? Does it have something to do with women prefering bears over men?
>>34525755imagine making a thread for this, literal autistic retard kek
>>34525825https://youtu.be/6BH-Rxd-NBo?feature=shared
>>34525755the BARE minimum is usually something along the lines of "can keep self alive by cooking and cleaning" and "not an alcoholic or addicted to video games" or maybe "has read more than one book in the last year"
>>34527786Basically shit that nobody cares about
At the end of it all, you'll BEARLY ever REALLY know each other, AND THAT'S okay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HQer9-cuzgI am in the same situation as her, do you have any advice for someone that is a NEET and extremely socially isolated?
>>34525586let's settle this: were Millennials the biggest simps of their time?
>>34527497Idk
>>34524807Can someone explain the phenomenon?I am not aware about her life, her circumstances so I can't comment on the whys and why not.But females like her, seem to get attention, positive ones. I bet there Both good guys and white knights who will be willing to aid her, spend time with her, or even become her SO.What then, other than BPD and mental illness could explain her feeling of isolation?She's also racked up a good following on Social media. If she needs, she can just get a job by having that one simp of a offer offer it to her.Side tracked thought:A man cannot and will not get the same support.
>>34527703Standards are too high, none of them are the "right" one so they don't count
>>34527703She is just insanely brainwashed to hate men and she has no community. Her neighbourhood is overrun by foreigners and her father failed her.
Hi /adv/I'm a 23M, was dating a 21F, and I broke up with her because I feel like a loser.She is quite literally the ideal woman, she was beautiful, had a good family, larped as a tradwife, was pure, loved me and was there for me no matter what. All the qualities you could possibly want in a woman, she had.On my end, I'm a 23yo stereotypical chud.Despite everyone, including her family, telling me not to, I broke up with her. From the very start of our relationship, I always felt like I was never good enough for her and that I was wasting her time, with time that feeling built up and became unbearable, so I decided to leave.She asks me for me to come back, everyone wants us back together, but I just don't feel like I'm good enough to be with her.Can you help me?
>>345232812 options:Find shit girl that is more on your levelORbecome the better man that she believes you are / you want to be
>>34523281>I felt bad so I kicked myself in the ballsSee how that sounds?Apologize to her and go to a therapist.
>>34523281this definitely isnt the whole story and isnt what actually happened
>>34525155Rarted.This is what will happen >>34524954Now it will downhill from here and she'll dump you because "you were right, you're not good enough for me".
Im in the same situation as op. Its been 3 months since i broke up w her and i still think about her everyday questioning my decision. Im too schizophrenic to deserve someone like that with a good family and career. Im only a bad influence. If you really love her its over, you know yourself better than anyone.
And you all warned me of what would happen when I posted about it. I thought my family wouldn't have betrayed me like this. For any of you who come here to give genuine advice to people in need, bless you. I should have listened. I feel absolutely awful with where I am now.
>>34520388The worst side of people come out after death and divorce. The greed is unreal. I'm sorry that happened to you. My FIL died earlier in the year and FIL's brother sent the siblings across the country to eyeball the house and see if they could get a piece of it.

How do I stop being a fool that knows nothing, believes in nothing, has no skills, is afraid of everything and is never taken seriously?
>>34523333best consumer and follower of universal basic income! wait for your comrades
>>34523333Knows nothing: Start learnin'.Believes nothing: Believe in whatever you learned.No skills: Practice.Afraid of everything: Do things even if you are afraid.Never taken seriously: Can't help you with that one since I'm still never taken seriously even though I did all the other stuff. But you'll at least be capable of stuff while not being taken seriously.
Are you the griffith anon from the other thread? Try speaking less to be taken seriously, and try hiding your emotions instead of yelling at old men lol
>>34523784>How do I stop being a fool that knows nothing [and] has no skillsWhat exactly gave you the impression that OP saw themself as superior?

Just got offered a job paying $40 an hour in a profession that usually only gets paid $21-22 an hr at my experience. At a psych facility, that only hires men, and I can't find anything online about it. It's coming to e through a registry so its legit, and they say its a government facility. Thoughts?
>>34526077>Thoughts?I would take it, there could be something shady, but you will never know by now.
>>34526077>and they say its a government facilityThen it has to be on a public record somewhere. Is there some agency you that might give you more info?
>>34526077It may be in a field or a geographical area where there is a lot of competition and so they have to pay more to attract people.
>>34526077Government generally pays twice as much but the only men part sounds like some or that may be hazard pay. Bring your helmet.
i grow up very poor, got our, met a girl, we've been together 6 years, we both got out of the neet life, we work a cozy job, but it's minimum wage. we want to move out from her parents. i don't know how to mobilize myself and move up from here. ideally I don't want to wageslave forever, and I want to start some kind of business, maybe e-commerce?. any advice bros?I'm trying not to stay comfortable with the 200% increase in quality of life from my childhood. but, I got to move, and I'm not sure how.
>>34522973Medical field is always hiring. You can became a CT tech or other type of technician in 1 or 2 years at community college. It's a pretty quick way out of minimum wage
>>34523069we're both caregivers currently, so I've considered CNA. but, that sounds like shit. i just saw someone mentions techs in another thread, maybe my experience would help me transition. I'll consider that, thanks anon. trades like welding/plumber sound alright, but I hear you work overtime all the time
>>34523076Idk about welding, but I worked with plumbers. It pays great and you set your own hours when you own a company, but the apprenticeship sucks and the wages stink and there is both overtime and schedules by seniority. Also, lots of your fellow apprentices will be druggies, which can be a not fun work environment. If you do become a plumber, always mask up and try to be someplace ventilated when you apply PVC cement. For some reason a lot of plumbers think masking up makes you gay, nah man those fumes are toxic as shit, be safe
>>34523076Every retard thinks they can weld. Plenty of welders washing dishes. That meme is played out. Learn how to use your money and it would not matter what you do.
I just cannot take it anymore, so many sleepless nights all due to alcoholism in my family. I am in my 20s and getting my degree so I can fuck off and start living on my own (sarcasm because it's 2026 and you can't afford shit). Just because you're a man - you can be taken advantage of, the story always suits the female in domestic abuse, this is never ending hell despite having the evidence. She has gone so far to make bruises herself just in case I try getting her a rehab.I have no fucking idea how to deal with my alcoholic parent. I don't love her anymore, I cannot even pretend, I feel guilty at the same time that I do not love them. How do you even proceed with an alcoholic parent. I was willing to forgive her for the smothering childhood she gave me and whatnot but I just cannot. No matter how nice I try being to her, friday will hit and she will get blackout drunk and physically abusive.
>>34525066I fail to see how that helps. Would I feel rejuvenated if I joined said group but about rape? would that undo that? fuck no, some people I don't know would just know about my experience.
>>34522258Instal locks on your room?
>>34525069They could share their experiences. Just maybe someone in a similar situation discovered a better way of coping with it
>>34525069learn how to not overshare information. You just have a severely alcoholic mother and desperately need space, need help getting your own place asap, and spare the details of what's happening because it's traumatic and private.

Has anyone here ever dealt with frequent intrusive evil thoughts? Like, randomly punching innocent people next to you or calling them a slur. I have schizophrenia or ocd too so that's why but does anyone here know how to keep them away? So far I never acted on them but I often feel like I'm about to.
