start by getting a job. you don't have time to feel depressed. I used to be a complete mope and then I started working 8 hours a day and you feel better typically. Being a virgin at that age isn't /fa/ at all. If it is religious, it is understandable, but if it is because you want to but can't get any, it's the complete opposite.

Make a to-do list:
1. Get a job
2. Workout for better body
3. Consciously work towards not having a bitch face.

>>9918256
all you have to do is lift your eyebrows or consciously smile more and make it a habit. it is that easy.

>> No.9918287

>>9918276
The problem is I do have a job (full time, 40 hours a week) , and that was where the person asked about my bitchface. And the virgin thing used to be because "I want to find the right person" when I was younger but the reason these days is because I have no fucking motivation or confidence to pursue much of anything anymore. That's why I try to dress nice, to make myself feel better.

Stop whining. Seriously.

I know way too many dudes in our age range who pretty much live their lives licking their wounds and whining about inane shit like their height, their job prospects, their ex-girlfriends, etc. It's masturbatory and pointless, the kind of thing people do to excuse their lack of initiative.

Case in point: a few friends of mine blame virtually every single fucking failure of theirs, including being lazy, on "stress." I offered to literally pay for one dudes' education outright and he said "no," again citing stress. Fuck that noise.

I'm too afraid to ask women out on dates.

I can tell women are into me, people around me are constantly badgering me about how it's possible I don't have a girlfriend yet. but I'm so crippled by the fear of rejection I don't even try.

It would feel so good to hear them say something along the lines of "I have a boyfriend" so I would stop fantasizing, I just can't bring myself to it though.

Instead; I spend an exorbitant amount of money on clothes, as well as time at the gym. Attempting to be so aesthetically pleasing that when they see me the allure will be so strong they'll have to make the first move.

daily reminder that fashion should be for people of interest (ie. actors, musicians, artists).

If you are fashionable and have nothing to actually offer the world, you should really reconsider what you're doing. Learn an instrument, write a fucking song. Make a video, learn how to edit. Paint a portrait of your mother. Just fucking do something.


Also, talk to strangers. Exercise. Get a job that requires you to interact with people, and save the money you earn while still having some fun on the side...

She's the perfect woman. 5'2, korean/european, has a HUGE following on Instagram(proof of her attractiveness), graduated from one of the top Unis in the US, comes from a family so rich that they just bought her a million dollar condo when she already had one, wants to have kids and support a family on her own, incredibly caring, etc. How do you ever get over that?

Honestly, I don't even know, I'm drunk most of the time. Just keep the conversation going, have a few things to tell about yourself when the conversation dies out, most of the time they just want to talk about themselves anyways, so just give off some sounds as if you are listening, listen for real a couple of times and ask questions about the stuff they talk about.
Act interested, when you start moving closer to each other, not even really close, just a little closer, you know you can go for the kill.
Just continue putting up with her bullshit and act interested for a couple of more minutes, when you can't stand her talking any longer move in for a kiss, if she doesn't pull back, directly go for it.
Gobble away on that face, just remember, if you stop she might start talking again.

Confidence is literally everything, and fucking random girls gives you a lot of that, at least at first. Just make sure you look clean and like you take care of yourself, while standing and walking around, pull your shoulders back, it pushes up your chest, makes you look more confident and makes it practically impossible to let your head fall down.
Keep your head up, that's important, when you enter a room, look EVERYBODY in the eyes or the face at least, chek who is there as if you own the place and want to make sure nobody is there that shouldn't be.

Exactly what I felt everytime, I kept telling myself that they probably do the same and fuck random guys every weekend, that helped a bit, but every once in a while someone seems to get too attached and that shit feels horrible.
Guilt is probably pretty /fa/ though

Really, treating my ADD, and anxiety, with therapy and medication helped a ton. I'm finally doing all the things I should be doing.

all thats left is:
>get better at my major
>go to the gym regularly
>sleep right
>git a job
>be more social

I've fix alot of dumb shit I used to do. I mostly eat better, but days like tonight, i'm tired as shit, so I'll split a pizza with my brother.

oh yeah and I live with my parents, but we're upper middle class, so its not too bad. closer to graduating, i'll get my own place. 2 years to go.

and sometimes i don't brush my teeth fuck
