okay I'll bite first. kind of tmi, sorry.

a couple weeks ago my boyfriend came to visit and we were fooling around a bit. no sex or anything - just good old foreplay. at one point he came on my hand and I wiped it off on a wet towel and cleaned up a bit. he went down on me then and I touched inside myself to show him what felt good and I realized it was the same hand he came on. I'm kind of worried I could be pregnant even though we wiped it all up, semen is known to die in the air rather quickly, it wasn't actual penetration (I'm told it can't really move up to fertilization without penetrative sex but I'm not sure), and I'm on birth control. I have yet to get my period, though, and just started my sugar pill week today... should I be worried??

[Anonymous No.6445644]

>>6445633
I think you're probably fine. It sounds like one hell of a longshot to me that you'd be pregnant. I don't know how it usually goes for you, but I don't get my period until two-three days into my sugar pill week. I wouldn't worry about it.

[Anonymous No.6445650]

>>6445633
I think you'll be fine. I'd wait a few days before freaking out about your period. Personally, I don't get my period until a good 2-3 days into my sugar pills.

I can't find a second job. It's all no replies or "we'll call you" bullshit for the ads that claimed they needed help right away. My boss says I'll be working more soon but I had wanted to buy decent holiday gifts this year instead of feeling like a dick for giving people cards and homemade sweets like I do every year, which is what I'll probably end up doing once again.

I have been exchanging messages with this girl at work for 4 months now. I am pretty sure this is a one sided thing because at work she likes to get all touchy and constantly flirts with me.

Few weeks ago she got really cold all the sudden. We used to exchange like at least 10 texts a day. Now it takes her 3-6 hrs to reply a single message.
What went wrong? I don't recall saying anything
that will upset her, or at least i hope so.

Eitherway, I hope things can go back to the way it was.

Post the book now maybe they will see it. As for me I've always had weight issues. Being a fatty and all now I'm almost 300 pounds. Needless to say I feel that I hit rock bottom so I decided to get help. It's not a good feeling to know I'm obese and have no idea about weight loss but I'm happy that I'm taking control. I just hate that my friends don't believe that I can do it and some that are fine with me being fat. I think it's time for new friends.

Graduating with an art degree (yeah I know) in 6 months. Very lucky to have no debt thanks to parents, college fund.
Moving to a new city. Have friends there that I can find an apartment with, but terrified I'll be a mooch to them.
Terrified to look for a job. Basically no working experience and terrible work ethic despite knowing I can try harder. Always had extreme apathy/lethargy, basically, but I don't think it's depression. I just don't know how to break out of it. Been keeping all the anxiety inside.

I just want my life to be stable.

I hit 250lbs this year and felt the same way as you do - don't give up or let others distract you, keep working at it! The heavier you are the faster the weight falls off and it's a pretty good incentive to keep going when you see big losses every week

And now for my downfall v_v

I've been messaging this girl for like a week and a half now and she lives like 2 hours away but I think we both already have mutual feelings for a realtionship. The messages are getting to like 2k words long etc with loads of hearts and kisses and we never run out of conversation, we've planned to meet at a convention but that's in 6 months time and I fear we might not be as compatible in real life as we are through messaging... and if we're to put effort in for the next few months I think it'll be a waste if that happens

I just don't know what to do, I've never met a girl I met online for the first time before, I'm pretty scared if I'm honest

I've fallen serious in love with a girl and had the first time in my life the feeling that she liked me also. She was hugging me, holding my hand, cuddled up to me and said such things like: "I like you, too" when I confessed to her. But she does only exploit me and sport with my feelings for her. Never could an girl like her, liking me - I'm feeling so dumb now and even if I know this: I want to write with her, I want to meet up again with her and I only want some attention from her. Even if that means, I have to buy her some stuff again to get her attention… ;_;
I wish I could break up any contact, but I can't stop thinking of her the whole day. I'm feeling so pathetic and simply want to disappear right now.

[Cunt !WIZardrY9E No.6445800]

I feel like I have trouble communicating with people a lot.
It’s hard for me to empathize on a wider scale, and when I do it’s only because I’ve experienced the subject matter on a personal level, like I can’t actually understand something unless it’s happened to me already.

Most of the time when I’m talking to people face-to-face everything I say is something I’ve mimicked from watching other people converse in the past, so it’s not like I’m having a real conversation at all, I’m just regurgitating words until the person goes away or I’m able to leave.

I’m terrified of talking to people via phone and a part of me thinks this is because of a fear of not being able to express my mimicry as accurately when the person isn’t physically in front of me. Like when they’re just listening to my voice alone it’s easier for them to tell that I’m faking most of what I say and it gives the game away completely.

I have a very difficult time forging sincere friendships because it’s very rarely that I can bring myself to care too deeply about other people, and this makes for a very awkward and lonely existence.

Cunt, I can totally relate to this and it feels weird because I'm indifferent about you. But that's interesting, you summed up how I feel.

[Anonymous No.6445826]

i can feel myself starting to give up on schoolwork, and get lazy, since everyone is better than me anyway. I know that's stupid and I should work hard to try to be as good as the other people in my classes, but I just want to give up. I also haven't had time to do anything fun in a long time, since I work and go to school, I have two days off a week, wednesday and friday. On wednesdays, we have a days worth of work to do for thursday, and on friday we are given work to do over the weekend, which is always too much for me to do since I only have the friday to do it. My mum wants me to only work one day a week, but I really want the money. I don't want to have to rely on her if I want to buy something.
I also feel like I need to stop being a kissless virgin very soon because I'm getting to an age where it's weird, and I want to experience all that shit, but if anyone would be with me they'd be settling cause they can't do better, plus I'm too scared of boys, especially ones I think are attractive to get to know anyone well enough that I could decide that I like them.

I'm the same way, anon.

I have people I consider good friends online, but then once I'm around them IRL they annoy the fuck out of me and I'm barely tolerating them and I just want to be alone again. I can't interact without a huge wall between us, basically. I just can't stand to be around people in-person at all.

And I'm okay with being alone physically all the time, but being actually alone with no one to even talk to I get really depressed and lonely very quickly.

I can't tell if I genuinely care for my online friends or not because the standard of measure for all 'normal' social interaction is always the in-person. Oops.

>>6445733
I don't think you are a horrible person. You are acknowledging that there are other dateable people out there, and that itself isn't bad.

Now, the issue is figuring out what attracts you to these other people that you might not have in your relationship. Sit and try to sort out your feelings, talk to your significant other about your findings.

Please do not not not "do anything" if you are still dating your current boyfriend. If you need to end things, do so. Then you can flirt and have fun. If this is someone you could marry (or have a pleasant long-term relationship with at least,) it may just be a good idea to let your curiosity pass.

Good luck, anon!

Anyway, ex who pulled the "I like girls"-card when she broke up with me has gotten her fourth boyfriend down the line since my time, and although I no longer find her attractive it still rustles my jimmies as the emotional scars left have yet to heal.

To clarify, our breakup was well over 4 years ago, and I'm currently involved with someone who might just be the very best god damn thing to have happened in my life since high school. And yet I cannot fully let things just... go.

I lost my best friend in a fight that made it obvious how horrible we were at communicating how we felt to each other. It's clear neither of us want to be friends again, and I'm okay with that because it wasn't a good relationship anyways when I look back on it. Since then, I've had no friends save for my boyfriend, and I currently live with him and his parents as my family has a large debt. I've felt extremely lonely as of late, and it's starting to get to me. I want to meet new people (especially those who live near me), but I feel boring as a person and too shy to approach anyone that shares my interests. My boyfriend is in the same boat.
I feel like I need something to jump start my social life and put the confidence back in my stride, but I can't figure out what to do at all and it just leaves me feeling depressed.
I also need to stop spending what spare money I have on figures. I don't want to spiral further down the slippery slope.

After being described as "cold and emotionless looking" by this new friend of mine I've realized that I have a permanent bitch face.
My mouth is turned downwards (it kinda looks like Venus Angelics mouth) and it makes me look pissed or depressed when I'm not.
At least once a week I get told to smile by random people and it annoys me greatly.
Doesn't help that I'm pale as a sheet so I also get asked if I'm ill sometimes, I appreciate the concerns but it still grinds my gears.
I can smile, but only with my mouth closed, if I smile with my teeth I look Disgusted (the top of my mouth does this sort of M shape thing).
