Like I won't know you're a virgin unless you tell me. I've said it a million times, but robots fixate on things to explain their loneliness, when their true problem is crippling insecurity and a lot of the time, some kind of untreated mental illness.
I have no issue when I hear robots get all "I'm a virgin and it makes me sad" but when they get all "I'm a beta virgin because girls only go after chad, and their standards are impossible", I just roll my eyes. Feeling insecure is normal, but feeling so insecure that they construct elaborate conspiracies to explain it away is not.

There's nothing wrong with noticing that some people just have it all. But you don't know what their life is like behind closed doors. Their entire public persona could just be a front.
I think its what goes along with the chad fixation that is especially damaging to robots. The idea that women will cheat on your with chad, given the opportunity. Or that every woman wants chad, so if she is with you by some accident, it is because she is using you for the beta bux. It is the perfect external excuse for not trying anymore: why try to improve yourself and be happy, if you can never match up to the mythical chad? It is safer to just stay inside and stew at this injustice, because even if you find a gf, it will be fake. It is a weird insecurity vortex.

>>79043This. All of fucking this.
>Feeling insecure is normal, but feeling so insecure that they construct elaborate conspiracies to explain it away is not.Specially this one part.
I couldn't give less shits if you are a virgin. However a robot life spins around his virginity and his non-existent sexual life. There is no other facet in their lives other than them being not able to have sex, and they make everything about that fact. They don't produce, they don't create, they don't do anything worth with their lives; they just bitch and moan about how miserable they are because they don't get to put their dick inside any hole. How fucking dull and boring can you be to let something like that to take over your life completely? Sorry but is something I don't get. I just don't fucking understand.
This fucking ridiculous victim complex they got is disgusting and makes me cringe. If someone came at me irl with the bullshit these idiots say on the internet I couldn't keep myself from punching him in the face. Insufferable whiny bitches jesus christ.
No. 79068
>>79061Its a weirdly arrogant insecurity, too. Because robots who believe these things seem to think that they have stumbled upon one of the secrets of the universe. They know the real reason why they are alone, and why the world is against them. When you bring up people you know IRL who are in happy relationships, these robots /know/ that the relationships are actually a sham. Everyone is just too stupid to see it!
But it is also kind of contradictory. They feel invisible to women because they aren't chad, and yet women already know all about them (their virginity, "betaness", whatever), and automatically reject them because of this info. Which leads women to ignore them, so they feel invisible. And on and on it goes!

I got rekt in a psych experiment yesterday I had to do for class, I showed up and got paired with a qt girl. There was a recording device in there and I thought that was kind of strange. Anyways the experiment isnt important, but basically we would complete tasks on computers across from each other and then there would be 5 minutes of breaks after each one in which we talked. I couldnt believe it but she was actually flirting with me and after talking for a total of probably 15 min she said I was cute and I asked for her number. Experiment ended and apparently she was just a plant and was in on the experiment. I knew it was too good to be true and I wasnt even embarassed. Just thought "oh that's why she was talking to me"

Like trying to keep yourself from being distracted while studying. Raw input so it doesn't make perfect sense on paper
Anyways I'd do one of those for 5 minutes as did she, then there would be a 5 min or so waiting period which we weren't allowed to move on. I would have been fine just sitting there in silence, but she started talking to me and it went from there. Rinse and repeat a few times

No. 79414

>>79414I mean, balding might put him at a disadvantage but I think it's overdramatic to say that women won't like him because he is genetically unfit.
I think placing blame on genetics is the typical robot response to blame their problems on something they can't change. You can't change your baldness, height, dick size, whatever. Fixating on it, is just placing blame on something you have no control over instead of the multitude of things you could do to be happy and improve your situation.

>>79439I find that a lot of robots are either in high school or plagued by bullying during those years. But, they seem stuck there mentally. They seem to see the world in terms of black and white categories (ex: alpha and beta), which always reminds me of teenagers and their obsession with popularity.
That's what most robot conspiracies are about at the end of the day: being resentful at their lack of popularity. Most people move past that strict dichotomy as they grow up. They realize that high school popularity isn't everything, and feel comforted as they gain control of their lives with age. As you grow, you get out of high school, and never have to see your former classmates again. I bet robots replay their high school experiences in their heads over and over. They fixate on the injustice instead of thinking "fuck those bullies. Who cares about them anymore! I never have to see them again!"
And since these experiences isolated them socially, robots have no other frame of reference for how the world works. You can't convince them that the adult world works differently, because their only experience is with black and white social dichotomies: you're either popular or you're not. And if you're not popular then you will be ground into the dirt, physically or mentally. If you're not strong, then you must be weak.

Here's the thing, an antidepressant isn't going to fix much, it just maybe keeps you from carrying out a suicide plan. If you have been depressed for a long time, that changes a lot about your personality and the way you think.
I know you can't do therapy right now, but hopefully you can in the future. Because you still have the negative/depressed cognitions that a depressed person has. Slowly, I learned to catch myself when I was having a negative/black & white thought & then think about another way to interpret it.

I know that you have been dealing with rough stuff since you were 12, and it is hard to be positive, but I really wish you could write down one positive thing about yourself a day. Even if its something stupid like "did the laundry!", just write down a good thing that you accomplished. Or a good attribute about yourself.

I always accepted her opinion as fact because she was the popular/prettier/skinnier/smarter sibling, but after I got away from that environment, I realized that she was a real fucking cunt, too. But during that time, I admired her so much that I accepted all of her insults as what I deserved. It's probably the same with anons who find themselves bullied by 'popular' kids. You just want to be accepted & acknowledged by the people you look up to, regardless of whether there's good reason to look up to them or not.
I think most robots just become trapped in a cycle of self-derision because they're used to it from others, and they never actually move out of their comfort zone enough to accumulate the positive experiences that would contradict their shitty ones. It's like they think that insults won't hurt as much from other people if they're already telling themselves the same shit.
Anon, no matter what you look like, appearance doesn't define you. I've met a lot of guys who wouldn't rank high on the looks scale, but they end up with qt3.14 girls at their side because they've got that joie de vivre, which is way more attractive than a pretty face or a set of abs. You have assets, talent, experience: you have way more reasons to be proud of yourself than you'll admit to. I think your posts itt and the previous really downplay your potential. Find what's important to you and fight for it.
For what it's worth–from what I've seen–everyone ITT has really liked seeing the pictures you post, too…so it's sort of rotten to hear you describe yourself in such negative terms when everybody seems to be appreciative of your contributions.
>>79478Haha, I know this feel. Opposite ends of the spectrum, but damn.
I had a drunken tomfoolery night when I was really feeling myself and ended up irritating a lot of folks on lolcow by detailing my woe-is-me-
tiniest-violin high school experience and how I coped with it.
Even now, I cringe whenever I think about how arrogantly I came across.

I'm really sorry, anon.
I lost my dog to similar circumstances last year (she became really lethargic, stopped eating, wouldn't even play with her favorite toys…it turned out she had some kind of tumor. Keeping her alive would have meant shelling out a few thousand for surgery, and even then the vet said she wouldn't have lasted longer than two months or so. After we got the news, we opted to put her out of her pain. You'd think that having that kind of closure would be an advantage, but… it still makes me choked up to think about it. I hope something can be done for your little lioness.)

The vet thinks it's something called Triaditis. Sounds horrible and I hope it isn't fatal. She was perfectly fine last I saw her. When I come back from Uni she practically lives on my lap and likes me carrying her around. Every night I fall asleep with her on my back or chest depending which way I'm laying down. Been like this since I first got her. Literally 15+ years of this :/
I've been through a lot with her. She knows when I'm upset too I swear and she'd come cheer me up

No. 79663
>>79450 I don't think I'm really a typical robot, but what you're saying is definitely not true for me. Never cared about popularity at any point except a brief stint in 6th grade. I had a group of 3 friends and I was fine with that. Then I started getting picked on by everyone as a skin condition worsened and even friends brought it up, so I just went into a sort of shell and stopped socializing and found 4chan as a sort of refuge. I would try to break out of it every few months and it was met with failure after failure. I've always been a sperg before this, but I was fine with that.
I got sent to the nurses by a substitute teacher in Freshman year of high school because she refused to believe I normally looked like I did. That was pretty embarrassing especially with all the students telling her I was always that gross while she argued that there's no way that was normal. Everyone was just picking apart all my imperfections for a good few minutes until she told everyone to shut up and said for me to go to the nurse. Just walked out of school and got drunk with my Dad's beer tbh. A bunch of incidents similar to this happened where kids would poke fun at me and in one class the teacher wouldn't do anything, but would laugh with them. Or the only time I tried talking to a girl and she just said I was gross. It all culminated in me hating myself physically and thinking I was a genetic mistake and that train of thought is still with me today.Only person I hate is myself for being like this. Obviously that's not all there is wrong with me mentally and emotionally, but a lot of it stems from this. I tried going up to a stranger a week or so ago, and after a while he asked about it. He wasn't rude about it, but it still killed me and we just parted ways about 10 minutes of awkwardness later. I don't even want to be attractive, just maybe a bit below average and normal looking so people wouldn't have this sort of reaction

>>79748Why is your happiness centered around your relationship status?
Let's say you're right, and relationships are all about looks, and no one cares about personality (you're wrong about this BTW), then is that really what you want the root of your happiness to be? Do you really think that you'd be happy in a relationship where the other person doesn't give a shit about your personality, achievements, values, humor, etc, and only cares about your looks?
Other people can't fix you. You can't expect a relationship to bring you happiness. You will be just as miserable in one as you are right now. Work on your insecurities.
No. 79767
>>79748You are worrying too much about the "what ifs"

No. 79772
>>79771You aren't a man child. You sound depressed, and a little bit paranoid.
I'm not going to enable your misery. But I will give you a reality check:
Those happy couples that your see on the street aren't being happy to spite you. They aren't being happy at you. And the fact that other people's happiness feels like a personal attack to you makes me a little worried for you. I don't want to make you feel more invisible, but strangers don't care about you. They don't know anything about you. Their happiness is unrelated to yours.
You're right, I don't believe that those girls at work were talking shit about you. But if they were, you should go to HR. No one deserves to work in a hostile environment. Shitty people are everywhere. But it doesn't mean that you have to be around them or tolerate it. Talk to your boss. Don't be a martyr, and just sit there thinking "well this is life! I'm here to be shit on!" Use the proper tools that are available to change your situation.
No. 79773
>>79771To add to my last response,
A smile from a girl shouldn't be the source of happiness to that level. Again, not to make you feel smaller, but a smile is the most basic form of politeness. I smile at people all the time. It isn't a symbolic gesture.
Why is your happiness so dependent on other people? It sounds like you use other people as a way to measure your own self worth. Why? Why give other people (especially strangers) that much power? And from the examples you provided, you don't even judge yourself against people you know. Strangers being happy in public can get you worked up. Why? They could be just as miserable as you, but just have a better poker face about it.

>>79772No no, I don't think it's an attack on me. I just feel depressed and lonely when I see them.

You already said that you don't think accomplishments or personality even matter; only looks. So how can I convince you that happiness can come from within, and not purely from external sources? Our compases are set differently.
What are your values? What do you take pride in? What do you enjoy? How do you challenge yourself?

Look at that paragraph of things you enjoy and value. Do you find happiness in them? I think you should. Focus on those things. Make time for yourself. When you start to have intrusive thoughts about strangers, tell yourself to stop. You know that train of thought is irrational, and you have plenty of things to take pride in and enjoy. Start to train yourself to stop focusing on what you don't have, and nurture what you enjoy.
You have power over your life. Don't give it away to other people. If you don't like how your life is going, then use the power you have to change it.

He gets in to her pants in 5 minutes. Trying to improve your pathetic manlet frame while going to gym 4 days a week while maintaining a perfect diet? He drinks and eats shit while going for a day to do curls yet looks better than you. Socializing? He is the master of it thanks to confidence he got from his childhood with constant positive reinforcement while you struggle to fix your issues. While you're balding in your 20's he will still have a thick head of hair on his head. You can never compete, never be good enough, you will always get compared. Life is a fucking cosmic joke.

>>80649Here's the thing though, in life there's always going to be someone better than you at something. You can't be the best at everything. Most people make peace with that, and find happiness in their strengths.
So what are you going to do? Wallow in your own misery? You're clearly depressed and have zero self esteem. A therapist can certainly help with that.
I know cheaters, too. My dad cheated on my mom (who paid her way through university by working hard and saving all her winnings from beauty pageants, so she isn't some ugly moron). But I see that as a fault in my dad, not my mom. She is beautiful, accomplished, a wonderful mother, patient, loving, creative, etc. He's the selfish one who cheated instead of trying to work on his marriage.
Why can't you guys see that the cheaters are defective and cruel, not the ones they cheat on?

No. 80747
>>80713>>80716Not sure if it's rosacea or kprf as I was diagnosed each by a different dermatologist.
Basically I have irritated or inflamed blood vessels. It fluctuates a lot from being fairly noticeable where I'll just look a bit rosy all the way to holy shit what is wrong with my face! It doesn't look like a natural skin tone at all. There is a very clear line from where my normal skin ends and the blotch of red/pink ugliness begins. If I could keep it just at rosy levels I could manage ok I think.
It also hurts, a lot. Don't really know how to describe it, but I can feel it on my face, sometimes more than others for sure. It'll range from just feeling kind of irritated to my face feeling like it's on fire and my eyes water. I don't know what kind of temperature or setting
triggers this. It's not during extreme cold or extreme warmth. Being hot and sweaty is not what I'm talking about because that feels much different. I had a class in a trailer a few years back and they would blast the heater which made that class so unbearable because it
triggered what I was referring to above literally every day. Hard to concentrate for sure. Obviously the redness levels typically coincide with this which makes me self conscious and in pain
It appearing when I was 14 so part of me hopes it's just a hormonal thing that'll go away as I get older.
I was taking pictures and it made me even more unsure of how it actually looks. In the lighting where I am sitting now I took a pic and you could hardly see any of it. The shot that made it look the worst was when I used my frontview camera and stood by the window. Not sure how accurate that is because I look as pale as a ghost and the marks are a dark pink in contrast. Mirrors are a whole different story. The one I use now has really white and bright lighting and dear god does it look bad in that, but I've looked in others where I look ok
Anyways I've never really gone into skincare all that much and don't know what I'm doing. If you could spoonfeed me products to use along with how often to use them and in what order that'd be fantastic

But again, I was like that before the Effexor. Luckily, I was kind of growing up when I started using it, and I didn't want to drink that much anymore…not because I don't like drinking, but because I don't want to be a hot drunken mess.

No. 80867
>>80863Nothing wrong with being introverted. Have you tried online dating? Or perhaps, websites that aren't for dating, but where you might come across some eligible women?
In my experience, women are more receptive to men on websites that aren't specifically tailored to dating. If a guy messages me on okcupid, there's no romance there. If a guy messages me on instagram, twitter or even 8chan it's more intriguing.
It's how I met my soon to be husband actually. We're getting married this year, met him on 4chan of all places. I was one of those attention whore timestamp girls, he started talking to me and we hit it off.
You need to start loving yourself, because even from the limited amount of text I have, I can tell you're well put together. You don't need to be some buff chad or extroverted barthomelew to get the waifu of your dreams. If you DO want to get jacked, more socially apt etc. do it for YOURSELF don't do it to get a girl.
Wounds will heal, nd your past relationship that ended badly will be nothing but a funny anecdote to you. You need to keep fighting for yourself and for your own future. Women will come and go, if getting an escort is what you need at this point in life, I say go ahead. But keep in mind you can easily get a girl without paying. Don't devalue yourself.

You think they're actually interested in what you have to say when you're in here making gentle suggestions of dating sites and book clubs and they're acting mildly receptive?
They don't care, they're just here to vent and use you guys as an emotional sponge, and tomorrow once they wake up they won't sign up to a film debate club or start a diary or go for a long bike ride or try to learn a new skill, they'll sit down at their desk, turn on their PC, click on their lolcow/r9k bookmark and resume shitposting about how shitty their lives are and how unfair it is that nobody ever pays attention to them or tries to help them and why women are all whores for not dropping into their lap en masse.
Don't think you can help a person who isn't even interested in helping themselves. Their lives are "comfortable" the way they are and they've no real interest in changing that because they're afraid of actually living.

>>80912I don't know. Since they're away from their echo chamber, it is easier to have a conversation with them.
Radical internet groups are also a weird little interest of mine. I like to lurk batshit places like lookism or the coalpha forums. Honestly, if I was still in school, I'd totally pick one of those communities to do a report on. I find them really fascinating from a psychological and sociological point of view. There are so many contradictions that robots see as facts. And they get so angry at the perceived injustices in their lives. It interests me to hear them explain that shit in their own words.
I would love to be a fly on the wall during a robot's therapy session. I'd love to hear their thoughts as they were walking down the street. How can they be so self centered, but have zero self esteem at the same time?
Even the cap you posted says "chad deserves to bang your crush", and I find that very intriguing. Breaking down that statement, combined with the other content in that comment, the take-home message seems to be "you're a loser. You can improve yourself if you're motivated to, but chad will always be there to play with your toys." Knowing how so many robots feel like they don't want to date a woman who chad has "used up", I feel like the comment has extra stinging power. It is implied that there is a threshold you must reach for your crush to submit to you…but by the time you reach it, she will already be tainted. You're going to lose anyway. You'll never be special.
So even comments trying to set robots straight on r9k play into their delusions. I think robots can benefit by us not participating in that. They want that captive audience. They want that pity party. So even if they don't do a 180 and change their lives after talking to us, challenging them or insisting that they get therapy will hopefully give them a bit of a slap to the face. Maybe during their next drunken rant, they'll look at themselves in the mirror and say "maybe I do need therapy?"
But until then, I'm comfortable with asking them questions and seeing how they justify their bullshit and contradicting ideas.

Robots (and batshit insane internet subhuman beings in general) fascinate me in a similar way too. Not as people, but as guinea pigs to study. (lol, i bet robots in this thread will take this one as a personal attack by another weecked womyn), because I am not enable to see them as people anymore. They reached a level of self-destruction and misery (and then blaming such disgrace on everyone around them but themselves) that it's imposible to me to see them as capable people anymore. It's like some stereotyped character like the one from

>>81020That's what I find so interesting about it.
I completely understand wanting a group of people to vent to, without judgment.
It just seems to be a void with r9k. Like it snowballs until the "subhuman" and "worthless" comments aren't being tongue in cheek. Until they truly believe it.
Then the self depricating comments start to be laced with anger. And the encouragement continues. At that point, you're so worked up, that when another robot mentions his batshit pet theory about how women/minorities/society are the cause of all your problems, its like "ya, why not?" Nobody else is questioning the theories or the anger. And suddenly there's a new circle jerk to join.
Rinse and repeat.
I'd love to be there for that tipping point: when a robot goes from joking to being a true believer.

I swear on my cat, if I met a sweet guy who wasn't conventionally attractive, and I learned that he spent the last couple of years turning his life around, THAT would pique my interest. I would find that attractive. That's hard to do. It takes a lot of drive, self discipline, and maturity to pull yourself out of a bad situation, and I have a lot of respect for people who do that. I'd see him as a strong person for doing that.

>>81031Same anon here. I just thought of a little anecdote that goes along with this.
A couple of years ago I started to have a crush on a guy at work. Wanna know what he did? He washed cars. Like, you know when you buy a new car, and its super shiny and perfectly clean? He did that.
He was also a former addict in a methadone program.
He looked like a scarecrow; gaunt and haggard. But we were the same age. I didn't know much about him until one morning I saw him in the break room looking really upset. I asked him what was wrong, and he just spilled his guts to me. He told me that he's in a methadone program, and this is his first job in a while. He spent the last couple of years turning his life around. He has his own place, a car, he's working his program, and his boss was starting to give him a hard time about needing a day off for a checkup with his doctor. Obviously, the checkup was part of his methadone program, and very important. But he didn't want yo have to explain that to his boss. He was scared that his boss would think he was a scumbag.
My heart hurt so much for him. He was trying to hard to get things back on track, but he was so ashamed of his addiction. He was so driven and focused. I have so much respect for him, even today.
Nothing ever came of the crush. I don't like to try things with coworkers, and he was really working hard on his program and shit I didn't want to throw a wrench in it. But I was still attracted to him. He had no "status" as robots would say, but he just had so much passion for life. His drive to improve himself was attractive. His pride in his accomplishments was attractive.

At least in my country, a therapist can't have you arrested unless you're a danger to yourself or others. If you're talking about violent thoughts, that's okay. If you're talking about a violent action-plan to fucking murder someone, they'll step in. Like, I once told my shrink that I had a dream that I killed my dad's gf with a hammer. I wasn't arrested. We just talked about what I thought the dream meant, and my unfinished emotional baggage with my dad.

>>81113Toner is a watery product that you put on a cotton pad, and wipe around your face, after you wash it.
It will clean away any leftover dirt, residue from the product you used to wash your face, and will close your pores.
If this is the anon with rosacea, be careful with toners that have a lot of alcohol in them. It will irritate your skin.
Also, instead of the peel, try exfoliating once a week. Those large pores could be the beginnings of blackheads. If you're worried about finding a good exfoliant, you can always look at the section of the store with the face sponges. There are rough sponges (they'll probably be labelled "exfoliating facial sponge") that you can use to exfoliate, and also this little plastic pad that has little nubs on it. I'll try to find a pic hold on.

>>81143Okay, so if you're looking for a basic product to start out with, Neutrogena is sold basically everywhere, and they have a pore refining toner. Neutogena as a brand is pretty good for skincare basics.
If you're looking for something from the drugstore that's a bit more hardcore try the brand Eucerin. They make a lot of products for sensitive and acne prone skin. Their products also are known to have no perfume, no alcohol (in certain products), and I've found them to basically perform as described on the label.
Eucerin has a toner for general "purifying" as they call it, with no alcohol, and one for acne prone skin with lactic acid. I would try the general purifying toner first. See how it goes, and then decide if you need to try the other one.
No. 81153
>>81152I find that neutogena is a good starting point for skincare. If it works, then great, its cheap and everywhere. If not, then you have to go up a level.
And when trying new products, always give them two weeks to find out how your skin likes them.

>>81388Bb cream is makeup. Think of it as a foundation (skin-coloured, highly pigmented, and thinner than lotion. It is applied to the entire face to create a "foundation" of clear, even skin) + a light moisturizer. The "BB" stands for "beauty balm".
I use a BB cream instead of a foundation. It creates a more natural, moisturized look on my face. I have some acne scars, and dark circles under my eyes, and I find that when I cover those up, and use the BB cream, my face looks more natural. I used a foundation in high school, but I had more active acne breakouts, so I needed stronger coverage.
No. 81582
>>81388Omg I really wish this thread wasn't autosaged because I really want to teach you the ways of makeup and skincare. You have no idea. I woke up early and I'm on my second cup of coffee.
Anyway, if you're looking for a BB cream to try, I would definitely suggest buying one IRL instead of online, so you can test the shades on your hand. When you see one you think would match your skin, take the tester (if they have one), and squirt a tiny blob on the back of your hand. Rub it in, like you would on your face, and see how it matches your skin. Hold it up to your face, and look in a mirror (cosmetics isles are peppered with them). Does it match? Then you're good.
For drugstore brands, avoid Rimmel. The only thing I like from them is their Kate Moss lipsticks. Their skin products will probably irritate your sensitive skin. Also avoid Covergirl. Especially their scented products.
I'd suggest Physician's Formula (I actually use their BB line of cream, pressed powder, and consealer. They sell it in a set with all three). Their products aren't scented, and have been very gentle on my sensitive, acne prone skin.
I also quite like the brand Marcelle. If they have it in your country, I would totally check it out. I love their makeup and skincare. I used to use this "cleaning milk" of theirs, and it was perfect.
L'Oreal and Revlon are also safe bets. But stay away from the L'Oreal "magic" BB cream with the beads of color in it. I found it to be way too thin.

Turkish guy here, something weird happened today. I was out getting lunch today all of a sudden two really tall girls approached me with bags in their hands, they asked me if I know where their hotel is because they were lost and no one knew English around. Their hotel was on my way so I told them to follow me, I dropped them at their hotel and they told me to wait outside a bit. They dropped their baggage and came out saying they wanted to buy me lunch for thanks, I accepted it of course. We had lunch together and talked for an hour, they gave me their number when we parted ways, told me to call them if I wanna hang and have some drinks. I don't understand a bit, Turkish girls don't even look at my face but things like this happened couple of times with foreign girls, I don't understand why they like me or wanna hang with me(these ones were Dutch).

>>81871What meds are they?
It completely depends on the type of medication, and the dosage.
I've forgotten to renew my meds before, but I've worked at a pharmacy in the past. So I talked to the pharmacist, and asked if I could have an "emergency prescription". They had my pickup history, and my meds aren't a controlled substance. They were able to prescribe me half of my prescription (which I had to pay for…but still). So i was okay until I could get it renewed.
If you explain the situation to the pharmacist, they might be able to help you. Think about it, what if you were in vacation and forgot your meds? They'd have some way to help you, right? Or what if your wallet got stolen, but you still needed a prescription?
There's no harm in asking. Maybe you can talk to your doctor who prescribed the meds, and see what they would suggest. Sometimes doctors have "testers" of medications with them. Your doctor might be able to give you some of them until you get the money for your full prescription.

Never had any girls treating me like this since 5 years ago I think, got a bit of an ego and confidence boost tbh

>>81995Moisturizers are exactly what they sound like: a cream to add moisture to your skin. Well hydrated skin is very important.
Exfoliant is a light cleanser with a gritty substance in it. You rub it around your face (it doesn't lather), massaging the grits into your skin to use them to rub away dry skin/dirt. If you don't use a cleanser based exfoliant, and you use a sponge, the mechanics are the same. The rough sponge will rub away the dry skin/dirt.

I don't shitpost much on this site, but I was permabanned yesterday. I've been here for about 6 months or so with no issue, so I don't know what it was about. I'm sure mods had their reasons so I'll be off now and maybe come back in a few months and hopefully tell you all that therapy went well and that I can finally look myself in the mirror.
Good luck and thanks to all the anons who helped me out

If you had high blood pressure, or a heart condition, would you be feeling down on yourself for needing medication to manage it?

>>82325I feel sick after I eat, puked my guts out couple of minutes ago.
>>82324I just feel so fucking defective, why couldn't I just be normal? Why couldn't my brain just worked normally? Why do I have to be this miserable sack of shit? What did I ever do to deserve any of this? I feel like this is nature's way of keeping me out of gene pool and make me kill myself to remove me from the nature.

>>82328But you aren't weak. Chemical imbalances aren't anyone's fault.
Would you fault someone for needing glasses or braces? The human body isn't perfect. Sometimes it needs help.
There's nothing you could have done to prevent a chemical imbalance. Just like you can't do anything to prevent having bad eyesight.
What would you say if someone came to you and said they felt like a failure because they have to manage their body with pills, because of a heart condition?

>>82334>>82335I honestly don't know anymore, everything I conditioned myself in to has been blowing apart lately. Don't know what's right or what's wrong anymore. All my life I believed I was a worthless piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be happy but now that I felt a bit happy lately I don't want to go back anymore, I'm also scared shitless because the bomb yesterday went off 400 meters away from my office, I overslept and missed work yesterday. If I did go to work I was gonna pass by the place it went off, I think I'm probably alive right now by pure chance. Fuck I just don't know anymore

I've officially lost interest in everything. I don't feel enjoyment doing anything anymore, not even 4chan. All my old hobbies and ways to waste time have just died off in the past few years, and I can't make myself enjoy any of them as hard as I try. I can't play videogames, read, make origami, watch anime, nor do anything else without just feeling…nothing I guess? It sounds edgy, but that's how I would describe how I feel 100% of the time now. Nothing.
Internet was the last to go. It was something I imagine I held onto for so long because it's the closest thing I have to socialization I get, but I've realized in the past few weeks I glean zero pleasure from it anymore. It went the way of all my other hobbies where I realized it just became routine towards the end with no enjoyment on my part, and I eventually cut it off. I haven't left bed for almost 4 days now and thought maybe I was refreshed and ready to browse 4chan again. Nope. I feel I don't belong on there, especially not fucking /r9k/. I was browsing it all day today and it just infuriated me in all honesty. These people just base their entire lives over how women perceive them, and I just wish that was my only problem. I swear the board is entirely made of high schoolers sometimes. I stopped caring for girls in the romantic sense a long while ago and their collective attitude just baffles and irritates me. I think I've outgrown 4chan and I'm no better without it, sadly. I just don't know where to go now , and what to do. I'm almost 30 now, and I know I've missed the boat, and have nothing but a life of working my same deadend job until I die. I'm really thinking of just clocking out early in the next year. I'm drunk off my ass and I know I'll regret this cringepost in the morning, but I have no one else to talk to

So, how many of you other robots have been busted back to this containment zone?
I'm not toxic, just sad, I've kept myself civil, but as soon as you de-cloak to lend credence to a topic where it's relevant (Neckbeard hate thread) you get the hammer.

Never, but my time amongst the autists, like Dian Fossey with the chimps, has revealed to me their hidden world.
Really people are just big old reaction machines, and when most of their experience is negative, their reactions will be negative too.
You have to observe their behaviour with a scholarly detatchment, and ask yourself why they think and say the things they do.
You can of course simply settle with the idea that they are innately hateful people and deserve their misery.
But that's not going to be of much help dissecting the personal rationale at work, and can just as easily be applied to anybody with an axe to grind.
And of course, there is the problem of always tarring with the same brush, but this is a universality.

>>85106I am so sorry to hear about everything you've been going through. I know those sound like empty words, but I am truly feeling for you right now.
Please don't hurt yourself though. If your meds aren't working, then please talk to your doctor! If you're the anon who recently started effexor, then your body probably is just used to the dose you were on. It sounds like you're ready to be bumped up a dosage (which is completely normal, and totally a part of the process for finding your correct dosage).
Please tell your doctor about how you're feeling.

This place is not yours to screw it, get over it. For fuck's sake, why is it so difficult to understand that robots are not wellcomed in this site? Why is it so diffcult for you guys to take a "no" for an answer? You just don't owe every place you step on to fuck it over.
>I'm not toxic, just sadNo, you ARE toxic. When you are depressed it's almost impossible not to be annoying to a normal person, and this comes from someone who's been depressed for years and then had to stand other sad people outside chans. That you don't realize doesn't mean shit.
Just get over the fact people here don't share your opinions and, in fact, most of us hate the guts of the likes of you. You literally have thousands of places to go to chat with other hopeless men like you. No one forces you to be here.
>inb4 you're replying to a 8 days old post blah blahSorry not sorry. I came to see what's been of this thread since more faggots from r9k are shitting /b/ and /g/ yet again. Then I see you faggots whining about that you have been kicked back here again. We have this thread for you because we don't want you to be around us, as simple it sounds.
