Hey Jow Forums, free (questionable) advice on offer.
Sitting in hospital, post-op, vaguely high on a bit of oxy, very bored, offering advice, probably blunt and including a lot of swear words.
Ask your questions that don't deserve their own threads. I know a bit about life, girls, engineering, careers, motivation, writing, neet-dom, medicine, texting games, flirting, cars, motorbikes, cooking, woodworking, and probably other topics.
>I'm a dude >pls don't post too many images I'm tethered to my phone and don't want to burn through all my data
Need some advice op, how do I stop posting guy fieri pictures, resulting in you burning through your data, which is the exact opposite of what you requested? Why do I do everything wrong op?
How do i ignore someone passive aggressively if im going to be in the same place as them without them fully realizing it but subconsciously noticing it enough that they think about it but arent confident enough to bring it up in person and call me out.
John Williams
Wtf
Adam Ramirez
By being super fucking polite, but not at all friendly.
Nicholas Clark
interesting, can you elaborate?
Kayden Campbell
You be polite but not friendly, what's hard to understand about that? It ticks all your boxes.
>ignoring them passive aggressively You have to speak to them or it'd just be rude and aggressive, but if you don't say one word more than you have to in order to be polite, it's passive aggressive.
>without them fully realising it but still notice it You're being conspicuously polite, so it's not blatant rudeness, but something about your behaviour will still seem off to them if your relationship is normally different.
>not confident enough to call you out You're speaking to them, you're being polite, strictly speaking they can't call you out on being a cunt because you've done the bare minimum to not be a cunt.
So basically you say hello, smile through your teeth, do the basic pleasantries, but you don't engage them in any kind of conversation, don't ask them how their day was. But also you're not being rude. If they ask a direct question you give a brief answer. If they ask for help you suggest that someone else would be better suited to help them. That sort of thing.
David Cooper
use common sense and manners, don't take any bait you fucking fuck
Josiah Harris
thanks for the detailed breakdown, that should work
Should i try to remain completely neutral in tone and try not to be at all warm or positive? I want to make sure i dont seem like im sad or down for whatever reason and it may be affecting my interactions.
Oliver Brooks
Neutral. You don't want to be hostile or friendly.
Dylan Walker
How do I stop pitying myself and start getting more things done. I'm interning somewhere I enjoy and go to the gym but still feel sad about social stuff sometimes
Nolan Kelly
Stop giving people advice. You're just as big a douche nozzle as the user you're talking to if you think training to become a passive aggressive bitch boy will do anything but annihilate the respect that people may have for you and make you look incredibly weak.
Samuel Edwards
What do you mean you pity yourself due to social stuff? Is that a >tfw no gf kind of thing?
The only thing that I've ever needed to keep myself motivated is to look hard at my situation, realise that feeling sorry for myself achieves nothing, and then force myself to carry on. It's hard at first but you have to make the effort to form a new habit of making progress instead of standing still.
Juan Wilson
He asked and I answered, I didn't say it was good advice or something I'd do.
Hunter Ward
Go to bed, user. Don't teach people how to be terrible. That is kind of counterproductive to the entire concept of giving advice.
Kevin Collins
It's neither of our business if he wants to be a turbo beta.
Nicholas Martinez
>Starts a thread offering advice >"Its none of my business if my terrible advice negatively impacts someone's life" Eat a dick.
Henry Jenkins
Don't. Somebody I know is doing this to me and it doesn't solve anything. In my case, Ive called him out on all sorts of things and its met with denial so I wont call him out now unless he asks. In short, dont be a cunt.
Anthony Howard
Nah just like not having many friends or anything. I know I can find a gf in time with enough effort. Thanks I try to remind myself that
Nathan James
I'm currently a NEET with little experience on finances and work. I am in the process of moving out soon and I do have the motivation to move forward. What are some general basic things I should learn that will help me be a successful adult?
Also what's a good way to get out of bad habits like being lazy and going back to video games and wasting time because I forget about the goals I set before?
Matthew Wood
I still love my ex but she doesn’t care about me anymore
Andrew Morales
Learn to cook, it takes time so don't get fed up when you aren't good at it immediately. Set a routine for doing household chores to make sure they get done, that includes vacuuming/mopping, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning dishes, keeping the various rooms tidy, dusting any blinds or high places that will collect it. If you do an hour of chores every week it will save you having to spend several days doing it once it gets really bad.
The best way to get out of a bad habit is to replace it with a new, healthier habit. Set an alarm on your phone and go to the gym at the same time, or attend a regular meet up for whatever hobby you have, something that will actually get you away from the computer when it's time to leave.
Sounds like you need to get over it. Doesn't happen overnight of course. The less energy you can spend thinking about her the better you'll feel.
