I know it's a priority, but that doesn't mean anything if I literally don't have the funds.
I made a huge mistake just jumping into it without finding out if it's affordable. This first day, one appointment with a therapist and a second with a psychiatrist, cost me four hundred goddamn dollars. I'm expected to keep doing that weekly.
I'm probably going to drop the therapist and grit my teeth with the psychiatrist until I can only see her for drug updates.

How am I supposed to find a new place to stay when just existing puts me in the red?

I'll keep one lolita piece that I can coord with normal clothes, but I feel too guilty wearing anything else.

She might still throw a shit fit later in private, but at least she'll be eased into it.

Don't introduce the benefits of you going like you're trying to convince her it's worth it. Just be excited. Maybe bring up how you'll visit, be pen pals, Skype, whatever.

Buy something that you can coord with stuff you already own, or set a reasonable budget for the next few months to save up enough to buy the other pieces.

Fuck those assholes. You know two languages (or more), which is more than they'll ever learn. My middle-school self used to be embarrassed that my parents made grammatical errors when speaking, but now I appreciate more that they can speak four languages while I'm squeaking by with one and a half and wishing I'd paid more attention in Chinese school.

That's bullshit though, isn't it?
I know plenty of foreigners who sound very native, if I didn't know where they came from I'd probably assume they were born in the US.
I'm just asking because I'm not a native speaker myself, so I may be wrong.
I'm mostly insecure about tenses and grammar, as I've said before. So far everyone's been telling me I'm fluent, but I'm not really sure even natives know when to use a "correct" tense, they just go by gut feeling, same as I've been doing. After hearing that guy's comment though, I don't know what to believe. Maybe I had been living a lie.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it, maybe it's like when you're writing a story and the words and tenses all start looking wrong and everything stops making sense because you're looking into it too much.

Seriously basic grammar is the only easy thing about learning English, the only thing that's constant, how is it so hard for someone who's known the language their whole life?

It reminds me of my retarded manager at work, she can't write a coherent sentence despite being able to speak perfectly. Like, just write down exactly what you'd say out loud.

>All these
Literally two people in this thread who mentioned being native speakers. And it isn't quite as easy as that, do you also tell dyslexics to "just read the letters, man"?
When you put your words on paper you inadvertently scrutinize them and things that sound normal to you out loud look off when written down. Have you never written anything?
When I write my college essays I subconsciously dissect every word until it all starts looking like Engrish, slowly losing my mind in the process. Normally you don't even notice it.

This.
English is spoken across several continents, and while there's certain rules that everyone follows nobody really speaks it flawlessly, not even natives.
Brits get immensely butthurt about English (try saying 'soccer' or 'chipper' around a Brit), so much so that I began pointing out certain words and phrases they get wrong just to see them foam at the mouth.

Irl, everyone mixes different dialects, spelling, vocabulary, phrases and idioms and the differences aren't as great as people make them out to be (aside from the vocabulary, ie truck vs lorry).

I personally don't care about your English (or anyone else's) as a native American as long as I can understand you. But people do get really butthurt if your English isn't perfect. I think that's why I lost motivation to write for a while. I would post a work without a beta (because my old one left me after cursing me out,) someone would point out a flaw and before I can go fix it the same person points out the same flaw without reading what the other person said in the first place, (or what I said about fixing it,) nor caring.

People who deliver packages get paid by how many they deliver. As an example, let's say they get $10 every package they deliver. They get less for leaving a card, like $6. While actually delivering the package earns them more, they can potentially make more money in a day by quickly leaving the slips and going off to their next stop. That is why they will wait like, 10 sec for you to answer before carding you, IF they even bother (a lot of them notorious do not even ring or know).

This happened to me not long after I moved house, I was expecting something and they knocked on the door...The new place I am in has two door, but the very front will not open with a key (which is really annoying in these sorts of situations). I raced out, didn't have my key, and yelled, "just a min", got my key and opened it and he was gone. He left our gate wide open and when I looked out the gate he was already half way down the road (we live on a major road so he couldn't stop there). That means he wasn't even at the door when I yelled out to him. He literally knocked, and the bailed...And rudely left our gate open as well (which opens right out onto a foot path, as well as crosswalk lights). It's not this is uncommon, another time I heard a knock, jumped up, grab my keys, ran to the door yelling "Just a second", open it and he was already turning to leave and it took me all of 10-15secs.

In my old house I am pretty sure some days they didn't even knock, because I would be home all day, and then I or a housemate would find a card shoved into the grate of the screen door (and not put in the mailbox...), which means they never even knocked.

I always liken the feeling of someone fiddling with my genitalia to someone (like the dentist) fiddling with my mouth. Yes, the area is sensitive, but that doesn't mean it feels good. It just feels weird and invasive and while it's not painful or anything I'd prefer it to stop.
I got lucky and found me a boyfriend with a very low sex drive so I only have to do it once every two to three weeks. I just put up with it because I do love the guy and finding someone as great as him who's completely asexual would be almost impossible. Definitely don't force yourself into a relationship with someone who has very different sexual needs than you! But it can help to see it as just one of those less than great things that come with a relationship, like caring for someone when they're all pukey or washing their dirty underwear. It's not what you got into the relationship for but you do it because you love them.
Sorry if none of this makes sense. I'm tired as shit.

that's a fine attitude to have. If you don't enjoy sex (though maybe you should experiment or see a doctor to see if there's a way to fix it) you at least compromise because it makes for a better relationship.

We did but besides spray some stuff they didn't do much. The problem is that bedbugs are next to impossible to get rid of unless you spend a lot of time and money. I never had bedbugs before this neither did my mother.

I don't get why she hoards bedbug infested clothing though. I told her to throw them out and instead she just dumps them on me to do it. I'm going 'WHY?'

>>8075079
>>8075084
>>8075092
You two figured out what makes you feel good in the first place sexually? I never had orgasms before either and my ex bf used to physically tear me to the point of infections and bleeding (he has a high sex drive) but I found out that if I push up like two inches into my vagina it feels really good so either he was too big or too stupid to bother (mind you he hated using lube and used to blame me.)

Never said you was a landwhale I'm just tired of seagulls who think in this thread and previous feels threads "Herp Derp I can lose weight by myself!"

>B-But some seagulls can't afford to go to a doctor

Talking to one doesn't cost money in many countries, especially if you are going to start a diet or any life style change. It depends on the country.

Mate. I know you're scared of your grades, but that's okay. I did the same thing at uni. Once you have a little peek at them and see something solid, you'll be able to work with it much better. I know it's only a small part of all the stress you've got going on, but things get just that little bit easier to work out when you know the size of what you're dealing with. Takes a bit of courage to look, but I'm sure you've got that within you. Like a mongoose up against the wall if nothing else.

When I was a kid I picked up a lot of proper English from the TV (this was before the BBC decided to include more diversity of accents to their programming, so all presenters spoke "BBC English"), but nowadays a lot of kids watch mainly American programming and pick up mispronounciations from that.

>tfw can't tell if an item is royal blue or navy
>tfw can't tell whether an item's shade of brown is the same as items you already own

I bought two things recently, a bag and a skirt, that turned out way closer to crimson than I expected for wine items, and it's fucked up my colour matching since I only had dark wine/burgundy lolita items before. I like them too much to sell so I'm probably going to have to start adding wine items and accessories to my wardrobe as well. Thankfully the royal blue/navy thing has never fucked me over for an item larger than a pair of tights, but the colour matching of browns has messed up shoe purchases before.

I actually lost some great friendships thanks to the tumblr culture, my friends just became obsessed with SJW stuff, to the point where they constantly talk about it and I cannot enjoy their company because of it. I've tried talking to them about it and asking that we just not discuss it with each other because it was putting a strain on our friendship but it had become SO prominent in their identities it was impossible. They used to constantly bitch about white people, men, cishets, etc, and when you called them out on their faulty logic they would lose their fucking minds, they had become such a hivemind where everyone had to agree with each other, if you disagreed then everyone ganged up on you.

I don't even know her name. I don't even know if she's dating somebody, she's always coming in alone even at night. I'm a shy guy myself, so starting conversations is pretty difficult for me. I'm guessing she lives close by, since she said she walks to the store.

I know it's stupid coming to a feels thread to say all of this, but today was a rough day in general and I can't stop thinking about her. I want to talk to her, but she barely says anything and I can't tell if she's just shy or doesn't want to waste her time. I feel like a little boy experiencing his first crush again.

can you ask her about her purchases? like, "I've never tried this type of gum, is it good?" just something innocuous about her purchase. Comment something about how you noticed she's a regular, like "in again for your gum? Here you go, see you tomorrow!" Indirectly you're telling her you have noticed her. Gauge her reaction form these types of interactions before asking her out if you are worried about her response.

I helped a friend put together a panel a couple of years ago. I went all the way to his apartment around an hour away and we were going to present it together. He never told me when it was, I wasted my money to go to a con I wasn't planning on going to and I didn't even get to present it with me. Now he's brought it back and it's besn accepted at all the east coast cons and have I gotten a message to present it with him? Nope. Am I getting credit for helping him? Nope. Did I get a free badge for that con two years ago from him like he promised? Nope. Fuck you too man. And I can't unfriend him bc he's getting known in the con scene. Ugh.

I've posted before about how my best friend like despises my other friend who I've grown really close to now. Well, there's a huge convention this friend is going to in a few months and I'm really set on going. But I know if I do go, my best friend will get angry; not only because of jealousy-- and that's an issue in itself. I can't do anything that doesn't involve her without her getting pissy. I went to Japan and she wouldn't even talk to me about it. I sent her a picture and she got angry. Like I understand how you may feel left out sometimes, but you're being a selfish little prick, fuck off m8
But if I go to this thing and meet this friend- and two other friends, who I've always wanted to meet irl- my best friend will shit all over me. Idk, I don't want her to hate me but going to this con with these people will make me so fucking happy.

Best bit is when you tell them you have makeup on. And then they have no idea what to say. What most guys who say that actually want is someone who looks amazingly flawless without having to put makeup on (i.e. an ideal) so they can have the 'hot gf' who's 'low maintenance' because clearly, caring about your looks is 'high maintenance' - but if you aren't naturally a 10/10 and gorgeous, you really 'need to take care of yourself'.

Nothing super exciting, just hit it off at the bar everyone went to afterward and fucked but I'll go into detail after that happened.

Little did I know she would follow me and my friends the next day, was a little annoying but also fun at some points. Thought she may have been pretty cool despite odd behaviour, since it's an anime convention and all. It was my first in about 4 years, so I knew how people acted at them. We exchanged info, but after the con she would constantly text/msg me. Like, over a dozen times a day(most days) about stupid shit or how she's still single. I asked her to chill on the texting and fb message spam, but that didn't work. So I asked her to lunch when I had a free day, since at that point I figured something else had to be going on, like a friend from my con group fucking with me or something and she was in on it. I mean, if she REALLY wasn't getting it through text, maybe she would understand in person, and if it was something else I might be able to tell.

Basically it turned out to be a bad idea. She didn't think she was doing anything wrong, so after lunch I blocked her from everything. I asked everyone I know that knows her, and they swear they aren't fucking with me. Shes been making new accounts since then, asking me why I blocked her etc etc, messaging my friends, and even messaged my brothers and my mom. Its been getting less frequent the last couple weeks though, but its been about 5 months or so.

When my dad passed away from his cancer I stole my moms credit card and blew a couple hundred on things I didn't even want or need just to feel that excitement of waiting for something to come and opening the box. It didn't work, I just felt like shit after for spending my moms money.
I found what actually helped was to go for walks by myself and listen to music, or go out with some friends. The walking left me time to think about everything that happened, while being with friends actually distracted me from it. Cherish the time you have with your dad, I'm really sorry that this is happening to you.
