I really wanna go out and travel the world (4 year travel atleast), forget about my job, my social life and just leave it all. Should i do it?

Hmm... It's an interesting idea! Would you be leaving anything behind that you'd really miss? What are you hoping to get out of your travels? Oh, and maybe most importantly, do you have the money?

Well nothing out of the ordinary, girlfriend that i dont love, parents and friends that i care about but not enough to miss. I just wanna get away from it all you know, money isnt an issue, it's not that expensive to just take the cheapest ticket to somewhere.

Fuck niggers

How do you figure out what you want to do in life, especially when nothing seems interesting?

how do I suck cock/

Hmmm... well if you definitely don't love your gf, get out of that regardless... parents and friends you can stay in touch with if they're important to you. Though four years is a long time, and you may find that people change and drift away in that time.

It's good that money isn't an issue, but I hope you're not planning on flying somewhere and just making a go of it. I've had a number of friends try and do that, and it almost always has ended poorly. It's hard to find jobs in foreign countries, especially if you're somewhere they don't speak a language you're fluent in. If you're going some place you really need to figure out where you're going to be staying when you first arrive, and how long you can afford to that. It's fine to deviate from the plan. I've travelled places and ended up meeting people that I've stayed with, but that honestly takes time to build those relationships.

I want to abandon my parents but guilt prevents me from doing so. I'm unhappy with them. So I'm waiting for them to die off I guess.

I want to quit smoke
Dont even know where to start

Really good advice man, to be frank didn't look at it like that, always good to get a third person perspective on things.

hmmm... great question. I'd start by reading. Seriously, any subject that is remotely interested find a book on it and see if there's something to it that you'd want to pursue. Rinse and repeat until you find something that's worth your time. Start trying to reach out to people who work in that field. Ask them about the details of their job. Take the plunge.

Is there anything at all that interests you right now?

Make your lips into an O-shape and blow.

Honestly, idk watch some porn or something?

Hmmm... sound like there's a history there. What makes you want to cut ties?

I don't want to live anymore because life gives me too much worry. However, I am coward enough to not being able to hang myself or some other way.
I find life boring, as none of my possible achievements mean anything, since we will die in the end.

Oh damn man. This is definitely a bit beyond my depth. I'm not a certified professional, and I've never been addicted to tobacco, which I understand is a bitch to kick...

That being said, the friends I've had who've wrestled with it have mentioned that their first step was cutting back slightly. A cigarette less a day for a lot of them. They've also said it's helpful to have some specific motivation to it for. For example, I had a friend who's an alcoholic and was drinking dangerously until Trump got elected. He decided it was too stressful to do both at once so he cut out the booze, and been sober 6 months.

Most importantly, get some sort of sponsor. Official or otherwise you need someone who understands what you're going through and can help you out when things get hard.

Why are you quitting?

Yeah. I mean don't let it dissuade you. Travel sounds like it could be great for you! Maybe starting with a slightly shorter trip would be a great idea, get a sense of what you want to do, what you need to prepare for, and then you'll be ready for a bigger trip later.

First of all: GET PROFESSIONAL HELP.

I'm just a dude on the internet, who has no business dealing with suicidal ideation. A real professional can help you deal with these feelings, that sounds like they could be some sort of chemical imbalance.

THAT BEING SAID. Why is life giving you so much stress? Are there specific things that are stressing you out? I get what you're saying about death being this sort of unavoidable at the fate of every life. This is kind of a random question, but do you ever think about the impact you would have on the world after you left?

Bumping

Thanks for the bump dude! Did you have a question somewhere I missed?

well, guess I just don't feel good enough yknow? like i dont even want a relationship for sex, i just want someone to cuddle with. why does it have to be so hard to just love someone?

My life is stressful because I am weak and can't bear the tension of paying bills, work, engage in social relationship, romantic issues and day-to-day presion like everyone else.
Answering your question: my death wouldn't cause too much reactions. My mother said that, if I die, she wouldn't miss me (I know she said that when she was angry, but still...).

I'm obsessed with a girl from my school but next year she's moving

I feel the same way!

Hmmmm...... yeah, it's such a touch equation. Sounds like you're looking for companionship. Do you have any leads in that department? Who do you talk to during your day?

In love with my fwb. How do I tell her so we can both leave our current partners and actually be together without freaking her out?

Yeah, how can I start to make some money after not really being involved for a while? Plus, what are your tips for succeeding on a job interview in general?

I am quiting my job and selling my house to move to a smaller town out of the city. I am getting nervous because there are not a lot of jobs down there right now but I need to get away from the city. should I do it?

my dad died on the 27 june... i honestly feel broken, i had a week off work and now im working again and honestly i don't even know what im thinking or feeling anymore

mostly my faggot friends on discord. the only friend that i see frequently in real life is my friend mitchell, when we watch shitty movies.

i am lonely, i really need sex.

No. Line up a job, THEN move.
Always make sure you have a job waiting for you wherever you move.

Why are 18 adults when they still go to high school, still living at home, and still have the same maturity level as a 17 year old.

Sorry man.

I pray for you

Well I don't buy that your weak. Or maybe I just don't believe that's a permanent state of being. We can improve. It may be that these challenges are more difficult for you than they are for others, but you can make them easier for yourself.

Also- that fucking sucks what your Mom said. That is a shitty fucking thing to say, and you every right to be angry, sad or whatever else you feel about it. But your life does matter. The things you do affect the people around you in ways you probably don't see as you live your day to day life.

You can also, consciously affect the world around you. Are there any things you see in your community that you would want to improve or build? Go build them! You can give your life meaning in thing you build that last after you.

BUT AGAIN, this is all very easy for me to say, it sounds like you're dealing with some tough shit. Are you seeking any help?

Do your partners even know?

Just feeling like a shitlord. Not on top of my anything. Having trouble quitting weed. Miss my kid. Miss my friends. Miss my mom. Had my first psychotic break due to mental illness...had delusions and sudden intense paranoia. Made some big time mistakes and ended up alone and enfeebled trying to stabilize on medicine and quit nicotine and weed.

Sucks and having a hard time mobilizing to do anything like I could in my old life. I feel regressed and useless. After that break my mind hasn't felt right and it feels like I can't trust any assessment of my own being and mind.

Anyway, that's it.

Yea I want to but my current job is draining the life out of me and I think I need to quit before I leave on a bad note.

youtube.com/watch?v=nWNWA8vy4Fo

Tough. Fucking sucks when people leave. What about her makes her special?

Agree with the other guy who asked about your partner. I think you really need to discuss your feelings for this other person with her. Do you want to leave you partner? Would you want to leave your partner regardless of this fwb?

Of course not.

not particularly. I just drone on day after day, waiting to see if anything peeks my interest or something happens. My interests and disinterests shift so constantly that is becomes hard to know what i actually like and what is just a spur of the moment interest.

I wouldn't leave my partner unless she was leaving her partner for me. It's not something we discuss. We've kept it secret from then for awhile but it's just casual. I don't know if she has the same feelings for me that I have for her.

Why would you want to be in a relationship with her in the first place then? And why would you cheat on your girlfriend?

Hmmm... well it depends on your skills. What are some other jobs you've had? The job market is good right now, so you picked a good time to be entering. Are there any specific things you'd be interested in?

Regarding a job interview... I think it's a good idea to not down-play the things your good at. I have a tendency to be really self-deprecating in general, and that extends to job interviews where I'll sort of go out of my way not to praise myself so I don't sound stuck up. I don't think that works for me. I end up looking like someone who has nothing going on. Be up front, if you're good with systems, tell them! If you have a good memory for faces, tell them! If you're punctual, tell them! Whatever it is it will help your case, even if it seems small. Are there any specific things about the interview process you're nervous about?

I like fwb more than gf, but if I risk it I could lose both.
I cheat on my gf cause that's what I've always done. 1 girl is rarely enough to keep up with my appetite.

I feel like My thoughts don't come from one source i have like more than 5 thinking parts in my brain that each has his own different way of thinking and sometimes they all give thoughts at the same time. This sometimes was good for me ( i can think in different ways and see stuff from a different perspective) and many times bad especially when giving opinions (when i need to write an essay or a paragraph in a specific time i had problem that i wrote something then a part of mind said if you said that it would better than another part did the same then another one did the same which leads to a paragraph with topics that are unrelated to each other)
My question i do all people feel the same or i have some sort of mental illness (btw the transparent part of me said what i said qnd it was hard to write that i checked twice for it )

First 3 days are the worst. Embrace the suck and fucking do it. Dip if you have to.

That's not normal you should seek help.

Just stay single and fuck whoever you want. Cheating on your girl isn't cool and trust me you don't want to leave someone who's faithful for a cheater

Dude, that is fucking terrible. I'm so, so sorry you're going through that. It's going to take time to get through that, and honestly it will always be a part of you.

I don't know if your familiar with the play Rabbit Hole, but there's a line about dealing with death of someone close. In the case of the play, the main character's son. And one of the characters says it's like a rock that carry around with you. And day by day it gets a little smaller, and a little easier to carry, until someday it's small of enough that you can slip it into your pocket and forget about from time to time. It'll still be there, and you will still be reminded sometimes, but you'll learn to manage it, and eventually it will become one of those things that is just part of who you are. Does that make sense? I don't know if it helps a lot, but I've alway liked the sentiment.

Do you have anyone helping you through it right now?

Cosign on the guy who said line up a job first. Unless you have a big, big cushion, you're probably gonna end up pinched. Do you know anybody there who could give you good tips?

Being in a relationship provides certain financial benefits that make my life more comfortable than being single. ie I can afford a nice apartment, can live with more luxuries than I could provide on my own.
My current gf isn't faithful either though. I snatched her off her bf a few years back. So id be leaving a cheater for potentially a hotter cheater who is also a better lay.
Why does life have to be so complicated.

Hmmm... so it sounds like you have some people around you... sound like Mitchell may be better than the discord group... Is there something specific that you're looking for that those groups can't/won't give you?

Loneliness sucks.

You don't need sex though. I know it can feel that way, but you will be fine if you don't have sex. You gotta fix other holes in life before that can get fixed.

Who do you have in your life right now? Other than sex, what would good human company look like for you right now?

Sounds like it'll end badly either way. Would she be into an open relationship?

It's fucking arbitrary, but historically it's because it's when governments decided that men become big and strong enough to go fight in wars. That arbitrarily chosen age became the age of majority in most countries because it was felt that at that age, if people were ready to fight, they were ready to do anything else they might need to survive in life.

It's a dumb arbitrary thing. I was a dumbass when I was 18. Most people are dumbasses when they are 18. But some people are dumbasses until the day they die, and so we have to kick of the training wheel at some point.

i guess it's the end of the road. girlfriend was playing dumb games over text by just replying with "what" which i guess was a test. she was having an attitude so i snapped at her telling her to never talk to me again if she's not willing to respect me. wont say anything, just opens my messages. dunno what the fuck im gonna do.

Last year I lived with my ex and her family. She was a worthless piece of shit, her mom was a pillhead, little brother was a spoiled little fuck, and dad was a schizophrenic horrible fucked up person. He also had a gun and pointed at me many times also threatening to kill me and cut my throat. One time he took a shot at me and the bullet whizzed by my ear. Fucking sucked. They also starved me and took most of my money from my job. I dont live there anymore, but I want to burn their fucking house down. Motherfuckers deserve to die. I hate them so much still. I moved back to my parents house only weighing 100 pounds. I was a fucking mess. But, my mom took care of me. Fattend me up with good home cooking. Now I weigh 180 pounds and work out alot. I still have nightmares of my exs dad still though. He also tried to rape me before I moved out. I almost called the cops on him, but I just wanted to get the fuck out of there. Worst experience of my life. I thought ptsd was something only soldiers get when coming back from war, but I never thought Id have it from something like this. I have nightmares, flashbacks, anger, depression, I can hear his voice in my head sometimes..
What can I do to put this all behind me?

Fuck man, that's heavy. I'm sorry your haveing to deal with all that shit. That being said, you should feel good that you've already put yourself on the road to recovery. It sounds like what you went through was pretty fucking difficult, so it's no surprise that you don't feel like your minds back to 100% yet. It's no surprise that it's been hard to reconnect with people. Have you tried to reach out to the people in your life and explain what you were going through?

That's fair. I know this is a bit of a personal question, but do you mind if I ask how old you are?

Also could I ask for some examples of the last couple of things that help your interest?

Was she joking or being a bitch? Sounds petty as fuck

Nope. She gets jealous really easily. Have to do extraneous effort to hide my cheating. Disabled text notifications, hidden message icon, private mode pictures. In case I accidentally leave my phone lying around. It's rare but I have been caught in the past that way. If I even talk to another girl she gets really territorial. Dynamite sex for a few days then it's back to sporadic.

Thanks for addressing my post. I've experience in retail but I'm looking for something that's much steadier, rewarding and a little fun, too, as I enrich myself and ideally, the lives of others, too. Well, to that last question, it's just a matter of getting my foot in the door, so to speak, in a lucrative career and making the best kind of impression on my interviewer that will leave them with no choice but to take me on as a new employee. Obviously, eye contact, firm handshake, knowing all that you can about the company before getting in the door will help my chances.

Sounds fucked

Okay... well that is different. Not the way that I necessarily think. But I'm not so sure it's bad either. How do these different "sources" work during your day-to-day life? Say if you were going to the store to buy groceries?

Do these different sources ever give rise to thoughts that you find disturbing?

How people say no?
I can't say no to anything even if it annoys me so much. And when i say no i feel like a was an asshole and say yes afterwards.
Any tips?

Huh. What was the context of the "game" she was playing? Do you feel like your reaction was proportionate?

What have you been texting her since?

check'd

couldnt really tell, i think it was a little bit of both, but this was all fucking day so i woke up a few hours ago thinking she'd want to talk, does the same shit and i snapped. i was trying to take her out on a fancy date or some shit

i've been just asking her if she could call me and tell me whats up but all she does is read it.

She sounds weird, what did you say to her? Did you tell her you had a date planned

How the fuck do I get over my attraction to fictional characters that will never be able to reciprocate my affections?

told her after i was pissed to try to get her to just apologize but pretty sure she shrugged it off. she's kinda weird always has those girl's nights where they get drunk and smoke weed at someone's house. she was out camping w/ her friends last night so im just assuming that's it too

Well dude, first of all, good on you for getting the fuck out of there. I'm sorry you had to go through that, and you've already taking the first and most important step just by leaving. It makes sense that you would be having PTSD from something like that, and I'm glad you're in a safe place for the time being.

Honestly, it sounds like you would really benefit from talking to therapist about what you went through. PTSD is some really tough shit that will stick with you a long time if you try to ignore it. I'm just some dude on the Sup Forums. A qualified professional can both diagnose what you're going through, and take you on a path that will help you work through what happened to you in a supportive environment, so that you can start to control it instead of the other way around.

The thing you do NOT want to do is self-medicate. No matter what form that might take. People who have PTSD are way more prone to addiction when they try to use drugs or alcohol to cope with their issues.

Can I ask if you're taking any steps now?

Dude, shes most likely cheating, going to cheat, or has lost all interest in you...
Im sorry, but it happened to me.
Dont put effort and time into someone when dont give a shred of fuck about you. Just move on. Find someone better who cares about you and your feelings.
Thats why Im not dating right now. Im waiting for someone really good to cross my path. Someone whos not a horrible self centered cheating cunt.

What'd you say bedkre though? Is she just retarded or being a petty bitch. Not trying to be rude...

not cheating man, i can promise that lol. she's with her sister and all they do is chill out at her parent's house.

I love mankind. It's the people I can't stand.

Dude. I've been following your whole message chain. My advice to you is don't fucking cheat. You'll just be stuck in a fucked up cycle of constantly trying to trade up and having other people try to trade up on you. Find some one you actually fucking care about, make sure they can "keep up with you" or whatever bullshit you were saying earlier, and stick with them until the relationship fails on its own merits.

It's totally normal to feel attracted to people outside of the relationship that you're in, but if you keep fucking around just because you can, you're completely fucking up your chance of having an actual meaningful romantic relationship with another human being.

Just my two cents.

28. It's a bit hard for me to gauge my interests. A number of years ago i attempted to become a computer technician, but something happened that stopped me from pursuing that. I can't tell if it was because i some how passed the first course without understanding anything or if i had no interest in it at all.

Other than that i enjoy fantasy(games, movies, books and anime/manga), but i can't see that becoming anything more than just something to retreat back to when i need the escapism.

Fighting was something that has popped into my mind from time to time, like learning how to do some kind of martial art or boxing. Shame is i live in a pretty shitty old timer retirement city where we are in short supply of fun places to visit but in plenty supply of liquor stores.

Yeah man! It sound like you know all the good stuff to do in an interview I doubt you'll have any troubles there. I'm really just spit-balling out of nothing here, but do you have any interest in some kind of teaching or other work with kids? That sounds like it might be up your alley.

I don't know how to not. I've never cared about anyone enough to stay faithful. I've literally done it in every single relationship I've ever been in. It's like a reflex.

I have the exact same fucking problem. And it affects so many subtle stupid things in my life. This biggest thing that helps me is articulating why I'm saying no in a gentle way to the people I'm saying no to. If my boss is asking me to work a day I can't or don't want to work, rather than just saying "no" flat out, I find it helps if I say "no I've got an important meeting with some friends that day" or "no, I'm working really late the night before, and I don't think I'll be able to perform well with so little sleep." I always feel like giving people a reason let's them know that I'm not being just some arbitrary asshole.

Honestly though I'm still working on improving this in myself and would appreciate any tips other people have.

Thanks man.
I appreciate the feedback. I started seeing a therapist a few months ago. It helps. Hes a great guy. Ive slowed down on drinking and smoking weed but I smoke a lot of cigarettes. Need to quit eventually. Im happy I have a mom who is supportive. Im 21, and my mom is 59. It sucks. I wish she was a lot younger because i know she wont be around as long as I want her to...my dads a dick. Used to be an alcoholic, younger bro is autistic literally brain damage, not an autistic joke. I dropped out of highschool in 10th grade and dont have a GED. Kinda fucked my life up. But, Im getting better slowly. Looking for a job and just trying to get though one day at a time.

I think you might have to start by apologizing to her dude. Even if it's not your fault. Even if you really don't feel bad for it.

If the relationship is important to you, I think that's gonna be the way to salvage. Fair or not, I think she's pissed that you snapped at her, and might honestly be a little bit worried about continuing on with you. You can have a discussion about what happened afterwards and present your point of view, but unfortunately I think that apology has to be the first step man.

I just found out that my father is a narcissist that has ruined my life but on the other hand he is sick and will probably die soon, I want to go no contact but i feel guilty about it, what should i do?

I have friends and family, but i have isolate myself from them. I love and hate solitude at the same time. Having a woman to travel with me would be nice. but the thing is i can't get sex off my mind, once the need is satisfy i will want to get back to my work and be left alone, because of that i am hard to form a meaningful relationship with woman.

When i buy groceries i mostly follow list but when i buy groceries i keep putting stuff in cart and returning it back until i tell myself to stop and end up buying stuff I don't need. Sometimes i get a lot of a different thoughts about a thing that i get confused and just stop myself from thinking. Also i Don't have a personality i just change my personality to fit the person or group of people i am with.
is that normal?

Meet more people. Don't waste time on people you don't connect with, but somewhere out there there's got to be some one who embodies those things that you do like about people.

What do you like about mankind?

Are there any places that sell games/movies/anime in your neighborhood that might be hiring? That could be a good first step to get you close to something you're interested in. Maybe meet some like-minded people, and start work on something together. Finding a group of people who inspire you could be the key to giving you that motivation.

Bump

Read Allen Carr's easyway to stop smoking. That shit really works

That's some weak shit man. Don't abdicate responsibility that way, you are the sum of your own choices.

You're never going to stop being attracted to other people. That's a fact. I'm getting married in two months, but when I was at the gym today, I was checking out every. single. girl.

That's the fucking human condition. What you have to do is make a conscience choice not to pursue it. You have that will power you just have to exercise it. And if you aren't willing to exercise that will power to stay faithful, than the person you're in a relationship with wasn't worth it anyway.

If you want to move onto something that's gonna last, you gotta stop.

Or just keep fucking around, it's your life, but you have to acknowledge that shit for what it is.

Sounds like you're really doing all the right stuff man. Congratulations. Seriously you are on a road to a great recovery. Maybe getting that GED is a worthwhile project now that you're out of that hellhole you were in.

oh, i have. i spent like a good 30 minutes on it. i decided i guess i'll let her cool off and talk tomorrow

Not OP, but I'm in a similar situation. I've hated my mom all my life, and now she has end stage COPD. She's got less than five years left to live. My family still speak to her for reasons that are beyond me, but I stopped speaking to her a year ago. If someone treats you like shit, then it doesn't matter what their relationship to you is: they mistreated you, and if they're not capable/willing to change, then they don't deserve your forgiveness. If this man is truly a narcissist, then he will never believe himself capable of wrongdoing. Look into your heart, user. It will tell you everything you need to know.

Don't let a narcissist make you feel guilty. That's how they fucking prey on you. If I were you, I might arrange everything to get away in advance, then go in for one final talk with him. Get some closure, and then get the hell out.

If you want, you can leave some person you trust as an intermediary between you and your Dad so that there's some way to contact if something changes, but don't feel like you owe him shit.

Sorry you're going through that man.
