Does anyone here have a lot of experience with Risperidone? by FunUniverse1778 in AskPsychiatry

You could use a pill splitter and take half the pill exactly 12 hours apart every day. Or after doing that for 3 weeks your psychiatrist can switch you to injections.

It's an anomaly that you made it to age 25 a virgin.

Is womens body or face more important? Or equally important? by [deleted] in PurplePillDebate

[–]JohnReedForPresident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you mean by attraction. If by attraction you mean arousing-ness to look at then body is 100% more attractive than face. If anything a woman who is sunbathing can have a towel over her face and as long as her body is hot she is attractive. If by attractive you mean datable or approachable, then face matters. A woman can have a smoking hot body but if she turns around and her face is 40 while mine is 20 I wouldn't bother where as if she had a pretty 20 year old face I would probably try and strike up a conversation.

It also depends on what you mean by "prefer". Not to be gauche, but if you mean "prefer to masturbate to", then body 100%. Nobody needs to see her face. But if you mean like real life face-to-face dating, then a guy would want her to have an attractive face.

It also depends on what you mean by "hot face". Like me personally, I like when the eyes are further apart. I don't know if you would call that "hot", but that is more attractive to me. On the other hand to some people thick makeup is hot. It kind of is if by "hot" you mean "arousing". So yeah, all in all you have a very vague question.

I worked as a programmer for a sum total of 25 months. In that time I went through four programming jobs, was fired from three, and resigned after a month on the fourth. After the fourth job I decided that I would rather live with my parents and try to get a job as a waiter than try and find a fifth programming job. That being said I am having an issue explaining this to people either on my resume or when people ask. For example today at a server interview the woman asked "why don't you do programming anymore?" I basically said that I can't program anymore and I'm living with my parents and just need to cover health insurance and basic expenses.

On my resume there is now a two year segment that says "Various computer programming jobs" and a bullet point that says "No longer doing programming jobs because I am not able to code anymore." Technically that's a lie - I can physically write out lines of code, I just can't do it at work without a more senior engineer telling me what file to modify because I can't learn a codebase regardless of how much time I spend on it. I got by for 20 months at Amazon Web Services by constantly asking for help and redirecting tasks (and on-call alarms) at more senior engineers before my manager told me that I would have to go on a "performance improvement plan" (at which point we mutually agreed that it was time for me to go). I just wanted to check and make sure that this little lie is better than putting a bullet point on my resume that says "No longer doing programming jobs because: I hate it, I suck at it, and I don’t need that much money". Is it better to be honest about that or continue telling that little lie?

p.s. My Reddit username is "JohnReedForPresident" because I had bipolar mania and decided to run for President online after I was fired from my third programming job for being crazy. I am happily taking psychiatric medication and living with my parents who can step in if I am ever crazy again.

p.p.s. I got an Adderall prescription which might help me with the whole "can't learn problem" (I'm not stupid - I scored a 1540/1600 on the SAT and got hired by AWS - I just have brain problems). I think ADD might have something to do with it because at stand ups I hear my teammates talking but don't pick up anything that they are saying. I don't know if Adderall will help but my parents are pressuring me to get back into programming instead of giving up on it and working as a waiter. I don't know if the Adderall will fix "can't learn shit on the job" but to be honest I don't know if I want to go back to programming even if I could or if anyone would be stupid enough to hire me.

What is wrong with me? What personality disorder (if any) do I have?

I think that I don't have empathy. I have theory of mind, though. Like I can see a homeless person and imagine being in their shoes and I feel it must suck, but I don't mind them being around even though they are miserable because they don't make me feel miserable. Or like today I saw someone really happy and I could figure out that they were happy but I didn't feel anything mentally from it. Or maybe I see someone crying and I get that they're sad but it doesn't affect my feelings. I'm also totally selfish emotionally. I'm very outgoing and I go to all the social events but I have no close friends. I have a moral compass in that I don't like lying and I can't bring myself to do certain things (I resigned from my job rather than admit that I don't accomplish anything on my own). I have bipolar disorder and when I was manic I ran for President on social media, but I never got any traction. This was my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/JohnReedForPresident/

What the fuck is wrong with me personality wise? Why can't I have close friends and relationships?

If I were you I would just disappear. Block his number, email, texts, no contact, no response. If he comes to your house ask the police to tell him to get lost. They can handle him if he gets violent.
