Helloooo older anons
I'm 20, almost 21.
I know I'm wasting so much time on the internet, like its totally rotted my brain and now its like I don't know how to connect w people irl. I've never been in an actual relationship or anything, I just feel like im so behind w everything
kinda just feels like I'm gone too far and now a 'normal' life won't work out for me, yk???

It's never too late and you're much younger than you think, you've only had a few years of conscious thought really. There's not really a way to be "behind" at 20.
I was extremely internet addicted from my early teens until my early 30s and truly believed I couldn't connect with people in real life. But the people I talk to online exist IRL as well, they're just not all in my city.
I didn't finish school and never got further education or training but I have a stable part-time job that's enough for me, a relationship and pets, and my friends, though I still mostly speak to them online. Do you know what you want to achieve in life? What do you think you're behind in?

>>335863
I honestly dont really have any major, concrete goals (hopefully that doesn’t sound terrible kekek)
I think I would be perfectly content if I could live stably enough on my own, with my pets and maybe a partner.
( I’m a graphic design major atm, about halfway through my degree, but it’s also scary to think about finding a job in my field where id actually make enough money ( ；∀；) ….)

But all in all I feel the most behind when it comes to relationships w other people. I guess I still have plenty of time to develop them I just feel so discouraged because just about everyone I know IRL around my age just seems way more adjusted, and they have real partners and best friends … I must have severely stunted my social growth or something by spending all my time online instead of trying to make IRL friends or try and get a partner . I guess i’m right now stuck in what u mentioned, about not feeling like I can connect with people IRL. It just seems to get worse and worse with time, too, like I’ll never be able to actually form a close relationship with someone IRL ;; it just seems so daunting right now

Reddit banned my sub
I just want to vent about it
I only had it for a few months

>>335807
It had such great content and users and tons of GC discussion. I honestly don't know where I'm supposed to go though?? Because image boards completely suck. There are no hobby boards here. Its overrun with tranny incels. How are we supposed to get anything out of boards like this? No offense but this place cc fucking sucks its always empty

HUFF
My radfem gc sub was banned. I'm so sad.
I had such a great time running that sub.

socialization** not socializing

Fuck all this time I was tricked into being their slave and this time I will fight back

The thing is, a great man is just what an average woman is

>>335259
This is already banned

Think I've only saw very green eyes, don't remember any blue eyed person

All male porn stars are rapists, no reason not to be scared of johnny sins

>>335624
What if they are entirely pale?

>>335723
Aren't green eyes much rarer than blue eyes? Maybe you're just colorblind.

picrel certainly pulls me to notice her high cheek bones and jaw more

childhood/adulthood are relatively new social constructs

Having a kid as a shut-in schizo and have that influence my child would make me a terrible person, so no I won't have children.

>>335738
having children would ruin my life completely

Honestly I don’t think any women in our current society should be having children.

I've never wanted children, and I'm at peace with the fact. Better to regret not having them than the alternative of quietly despising that you do.

2016 was 10 years ago

Kids born in 2008 are turning 18. They never knew a world without the iphone.

Who?

yeah i dont remember where i heard of it i was hoping you guys had some tie to it

This isn't a femcel site. You might be lost

>>335673
I dropped the s from femcel and found it, looks like there's a waitlist unless you know the password for the beta. Is that the site you meant?

>>335706
U serious?

>>335750
What, do you think it is?

Any advice from Aussie miners on how to hop software/web dev jobs?
seek and indeed isn't working and at events I only makes friends

possibly

I work for a call center and I’m going back to school tomorrow and I’m nervous. I’m starting with one class. It’s an elective and maybe that’s stupid but I wanted to take something I liked as my first class. But I struggled with passing the past couple times I’ve tried school due to trying to heal from abuse and PTSD.

I kind of want to go into UI but I have no idea where to start as someone with no degree yet who can’t go to a big name school.

I have to attend a work event. We're a very small company (5 employees plus external contractors) and I'm the only one who exclusively works from home (in a different state) so we've never met and I prefer it that way. My boss is overbearing and he's forcing me to come to the event in what feels like a demonstration of possessiveness. I just barely got out of attending the last one (my transportation had such a massive delay I would have missed it) and this time I'm gonna have to just do it. I know he can't really force me to attend but I want to keep this job because it's the only thing I've found that's perfectly catered to my needs and desires. It's just that my boss is such an uncomfortable character, he never shuts up like a crackhead and he's also far right and last christmas event he pulled my younger coworker into his lap and made a massive scene. I know if I had a spine I'd quit but it's a job where in the vast majority of weeks I write 3 emails a day whenever I feel like it and I'm done. For the event I have to travel 6 hours each way and spend a night at a hotel.

TL;DR please give me your top tips on how to survive excruciating social situations when you have to stay semi professional

Think I need to learn how to talk to people and sell stuff. AI will replace me

>>335652

It's an AMA, the place it fits is reddit.com

>>335668
