Are there any Anons on /adv/ who found financial success despite never having gone to college?

Not necessarily rich, but financially stable. I don't want to worry about having rent money due, about my card being rejected, or about having to pick between X or Y at the store. I would like to be able to pay to repair anything I own the moment it breaks.

I feel so lonely. I got friends, but they just can't fill this void. I talk to them everyday, I still don't feel like I want to talk about me, my feelings and my problems with them.
I also have this problem that stops me from talking about this stuff with males; I used to have female friends and I opened myself with them, but I just can't do the same with my male friends.
I used to fall in love easily, and now that I'm not in love with anyone, since three years ago, I just feel lonely and empty, melancholy... I really want to fall in love. I prefer being sad over unrequited love, than being sad for not feeling in love at all, but I'm not shallow like I used to be years ago and I can't just fall in love with anyone. I'd like at least to feel important for a friend...
Please tell me what I should do...

People are worthless and shallow, and if they are not shallow they are naive. It takes an extraordinary individual to combine the two things, intelligence and love. The merely intelligent become withdrawn and the merely loving love injudiciously. Take the whole population of the world this second and run them through a sieve and you might find a handful of them are right in the head.
I can't wait for judgement day. After all, isn't that just exactly what judgement is? God, feeling like you do, searching the wreckage of souls to find one or two that aren't lost, wanting to find himself in man but finding that so few men are willing to find themselves in him. Aren't our little escapades of social interaction just a microcosm of that dynamic?

Hi /adv/, I needed some advice on my job situation. It's a long post, so apologies in advance.

I've been working at my current part time job (clothing retail) for just over 3 months. During this, initially it was somewhat fun and it was interesting to see how this stuff worked, since it is my first proper job that is.

However, I have not gain any significant skills from this job so far, I haven't benefited from it either besides getting a bit more customer facing experience and it ended up not being what it seems and not clothing focused nor relevant to my interests, contrary to what I had hoped when I applied and how they described it.

I asked for opportunities to learn more skills especially with tailoring clothing and such however, the management always sidestepped my requests to gain learn more areas, telling me I could learn in the next week, which then became next month and then became a no people to spare to move to the area, despite me having asked in the second week of joining.

As well as the job being not enough pay for the amount of work being done, especially essentially having to do the role of multiple jobs in one role, I do not enjoy it and it makes me unhappy yet I bare with it, my co--workers make it bearable but I do not benefit from the job and not being able to learn things that would be relevant to my career/studies makes me staying even more pointless..

To add, one of my superiors bullies me and picks me out constantly and it makes me feel like shit and weighs on my current depression especially how they berate me and also have no empathy and act like the staff are babies when something is done wrong.

I’ve been dating this girl that I think is the most nicest,beautiful person in the world,but today when I woke up I saw she told he her dog died last night.

Why does life like to fuck me over when it starts to get good?
>>
>>19026653
Were you fucking the dog too?
>Why does life like to fuck me over when it starts to get good?
Cause you're a moron.
>>
That is shit news of course. Just comfort her and do what she wants for the next week or so. Don't push for sex right now, she is *probably* not into it, she might stop in the middle remembering her dog or something. Just be supportive and this, fucking horrible event, might actually get you two closer. Fucking sucks but make the best of it.
>>
>>19026653
Because you're an egocentered cunt.
You're girl's dog died, and you reaction to that is to complain on /adv/ about how life is fucking YOU over.
>>
How in the fuck does her dog's death affect you? Just comfort her and shit, it's probably more like an opportunity than a problem since it's a chance to show her you are even better than she thought you were when you comfort her. Or just something random that doesn't affect your relationship at all.

after partaking in a bad fetish and potentially affecting someone very negatively with it, how do you recover from the self hate and remove it, the identity, and the hate from your life?

Before you post a question, check the FAQ to see if it's already been answered.
Keep questions short for more answers.
If you're not going to like honest answers, don't ask your question.
And please no derailing arguments.

FAQ:

There is no one answer. Preferences differ, but complexes are always a turn-off.

>I'm shy and afraid of people/rejection. What do I do?
Get over it by practising and exposing yourself to it, little by little, step by step. There is no single magical moment that will instantly change you forever.

The same as I prefer to trust mine. Good looking men are far less common than good looking women. That's why men date based on looks; big tits and ass while women date based on stuff you can change; money, status, clothes, personality, muscles

That's a myth, women simply can't into gaussian distribution due to unrealistic expectations and because they can afford to be picky.

I don't believe it, unless that's some US redneck state thing, in which case the women would look inbred too.

My sister married a man with his own kids from a previous marriage and I happen to live a few apartments down from the mother. When I was introduced to he kids, the daughter was interested in me and has been spending time with me whenever she could over 6 years. I caved in 3 years ago and had sex with her ( when she was 17) and we've been friends with benefits ever since. She would love with her mom and visit her dad and my sister in the summer.

For the past year, she's been getting significantly more affectionate and has been spending nights over at my place. I have moved into a bigger place. I should have seen the signs but now she wants to come out to her parents about what we're doing and she wants to get serious with me.

I'm not sure if I want that, she's an attractive girl, but I don't want to deal was the the crap of me sleeping with my brother in law's "innocent" and "naive" little girl.

It's technically completely fine, considering she's not really related to you, comes from a different family and she's really into you. Ignore the first poster, this isn't incest. It is kinda creepy though and people will be creeped out by it if they find out.

Hey /adv/. I always like coming here to browse because you guys are generally a really nice group of people, I just wanted you all to know.

I have a couple problems.

1. How do I deal with having a low sex drive while my girlfriend has an extremely high one? I watch porn somewhat regularly, but I’ve cut back for months at a time without any real libido change. I masturbate maybe every other day or less, but that’s mainly due to boredom. I’m attracted to my girl and I love her, but she has a crazy sex drive and I just don’t. Most of my friends thought I was downright asexual for a number of years, hell, even she did for a few months before we started dating. We haven’t done much in the past month or so mainly due to finals and work scheduling, but while it doesn’t bother me almost at all, it bothers her and I know it. How do I remedy this, if i can?

2. How do I deal with depression without medicine? I’ve had depression for a number of years but I’ve never taken meds for it. Last year I started seeing a psychologist and that lasted for a few months, he helped me but the past couple months I’ve just been feeling down again like I used to. I don’t want to go on meds, but I’m having trouble again with trivial stuff on top of already having an anxious, paranoid personality to begin with.

What do I do guys?
>>
Pitiful self-bump :(

>>19024942
1. She's a human and she has needs despite you not having them. The key to a happy and successful relationship is satisfaction, and you will have to help her out before she finds other ways to. Not only that, but if she knows you don't have that high of a sex drive but you do try and help her out she would be happy and grateful for it.

2. Pick up a hobby once your school is done, go to the gym it worked for me and yes everyone is different but it is good alone time and really can be cathartic.

He's telling you he's free. Just going to do something that he can easily stop doing, or do with company.

He said he was going to have company by someone who isn't a threat to you, and thus inderectly telling you he'd like to have company.

Just be straightforward. You're both men. No need for games. Ask him if he'd still want company.

My wife just left me , we got married 6 weeks ago.

We were HSSHs of 11 yrs , we exchanged v cards.

She blind sided me by saying she's not happy in our monogamy and was thinking of opening our relationship with a friend of hers.

I talked about divorce for a day if she can't get what she wants out of just us and she can't stop looking outside if us. I told her I wanted to work this out but didn't want to be with someone who looksoutside of our relationship .She said shed work on focusing on us, the next day she left .

I don't remember feeling this alone. We were gonna go on out honey moon this Monday .

I'm alone in this house she picked out . I'm guessing she's with somone already .

And you got no kids with her? Jesus what a failure you are as a man. Why were you even romantically involved with each other? No fucking wonder she doesn't want exclusivity you guys were basically just best friends. It's important to knock up a girl within 2 or 3 years of seeing each other or else you're wasting each others time.

I don't dare to even ask how old you two ar e by now.

My life is a complete mess.

At 17, 1st kiss, first sexual encounter w/ blowjob. Got hard, enjoyed

18, lost my virginity to an african hooker of 28 yo. Incredible sex, got hard, came into her pussy

18, failed to fuck my 17 yo GF due to stress
19, failed to fuck my turkish sexfriend due to stress
Failed to fuck a hooker due to stress
Failed to fuck a classmate due to stress

20 now, found new sexfriend. Told her for the first time ever about my struggle. She fucks a lot of dudes so I'm already stressed out about not being as good as them and we should meet this week, do some stuffs and I might fuck her

How do I get hard to fuck her ? I can't get away this horrendous problem. I basically think about it when the moment comes and I can't get hard at all all of the sudden

Think less and cuddle more. At age 20 you should get boner just from seeing anything resembling female. Heck you are still in puberty. Maybe you just fap / watch too much porn.

Try fapping ONCE per week and see if there will be any difference.

I went to a strip club recently and fucked two strippers, losing my vcard. I have some unknown medical problem where my dick is numb and can't feel any pleasure. My only experience was with masturbation, and so in the heat of the moment I let them fuck me. On top of feeling guilty I felt no pleasure during the exchange. I'm panicking right now, even though I used a condom, but what are the odds of me getting an std? How do I cope with this? Any reassuring words or advice would be nice. I don't think I ever want to have sex again.

What do you guys commonly cook when a girl started working at your place 6 months ago, flirted with you for 3 months while engaged (still) to another man that you didn't find out about until after those 3 months--who was always referenced to as her "friend" when she talked about doing things--and then whet cold turkey on, so you went cold turkey in return, and now whenever you pass each other there's an awkward ignoring of one another and possibly a random bump and look into each others eyes, and a quick glance away as you both try to hurry past one another?
