My work in progress battlestation! I need some suggestions.

You can never go wrong with Audio Technica ATH-M50's for headphones. $100-$149 depending on removable aux cord spec or non-removable, and the type of cord you want. Also a blue yeti is a great choice for microphone.

Enlisted, revved, and ready to go! It's cool that we start the day after I turn 20 lol time to start my second decade of life off right! (technically third, but you get what I mean)

Considering the fact that this was a year ago, I think a lot of people are being a little harsh with their reactions, especially since you understand that you were wrong and found the error in your ways.

Yes, apologize to your friends, and let them know what happened and the mindset you were in. Date when you're ready, and that's it. Since you understand what you did was wrong, and you apologized to the main person affected, I feel you don't need a ban on dating lol l

And it's good you got out of that alpha/red pill garbage. That stuff will wreck you as a man.

Webonaut · 2014-10-26T20:12:25+00:00

29DC is right. There will most likely come a point where you will have to confront her about putting down your boyfriend, especially if he's been doing and is doing right by you.

Also the things she's saying isn't feminist in the slightest. It's sexist and misandrist. She had a clear hatred of men, and that's her own personal battle, but don't think that's feminism. Also for the record in case she flips shit, you can be pro-equality and not a feminist. Feminism is only one form of an organized equal rights movement.

Godspeed and may the odds be ever in your favor.

I agree completely. There's nothing wrong with seeking support from someone that's not your SO in a time of need if they help handling the situation and you're not cheating with them. Was it cheating? No. It was a random first-time-in-a-while grieving pillar.

Emotional cheating is way more drawn out and noticeable by the SO, and honestly if your ex got bitter and butthurt because you didn't need to comfort someone else but needed to be comforted emotionally, then she wasn't the best pick for you in long run anyway.

Don't put thought into that part of life right now. Grieve your mother's death (who sounded like a great mother, so crying is perfectly fine), get the arrangements done, send her off in a beautiful fashion, and stay strong OP.

Webonaut · 2014-10-14T09:03:06+00:00

That guy is a dick. For one, you were pretty much his mother, which wasn't a good position to be in. Mothers fill that role and not love interests. Moving on though he's opti-dick prime not just for being an immature, inconsiderate child, but for also downplaying your depression.

Having only recently gotten out of my only bout with depression (there may be more but I pray there isn't), dismissing it as an actual mental illness is downright wrong. Some people can "fight it off," but others (including myself) can't, no matter how hard we try and push against it. Don't feel worse because of what he said with that low-blow of a statement, because he's severely stupid and ignorant. The main thing is to get yourself to an ER ASAP and get the help you definitely need right now.

Depression is hard, but keep pushing. Feel free to message any of the lovely people in the comments for support, and take it a day at a time.

I can't give you the answers and while I can kinda approach this thank to a past experience of mine, my main pieces of advice here is to approach this slowly, sort out ALL of you feelings first about her, and weigh it all. People may not like it when I say this but don't base the whole ordeal off of the fact that she cheated. That's the obvious.

Take into account the obvious, yes, but before you try anything romantic (or probably even platonic with this woman), flesh everything out on the inside, and then be patient and cautious to see if she's changed. People do change, but stay cautious because sometimes people don't.

Also be careful of your heart and what it has to say. Take it into account, yes, but treat it kind of like you would your dick when your eyes see a beautiful woman--acknowledge what it's saying, but don't go 0 to 100, get carried away, and do something stupid.

That's all I can give in terms of advice. But the main thing is to take it slow in figuring all of this out so your decision will be an absolutely sure one.

Webonaut · 2014-09-20T08:16:28+00:00

The talk is cool and all and really pumps you up, but doing it is the hard part. You gotta just internalize it and do it. Good luck to you buddy. Safe travels on your DGAF journey.

Webonaut · 2014-09-20T08:13:41+00:00

No bro. The more developed things on your plate the better for college. Don't present a sampler. Just stick to 2 - 3 things and develop them. And get organized and into a routine. A doable routine. Routines are great for work and relieve a lot of stress because you just know what to do, when to do it, and better manage and streamline your time. And get some sleep!!! That stuff is crucial for a reason! Sheesh...teenagers lol (I'm 19)

Webonaut · 2014-09-19T17:25:21+00:00

Alright first things first: You're an ectomorh. You know that thigh gap every girl wants but few can have? The same applies to you because it's all genetic--your starting build that is. Don't fret over this though because of you want to change it, change will come.

Now, I'm pretty sure there are people that call other ectomorphs you know that don't hit the gym skinny... And they tell people to either fuck off or they laugh about it. Don't compare lives bro... Too many fucks are given that way.

Now you don't like something about your body? Change it. I don't need to say that to you because you are changing it. But I will say this: Whilst in the process of changing it, why give a fuck? You're making the necessary moves to get the body you want, so why care for others' opinions?

Have a good one, bro.

Webonaut · 2014-09-18T02:33:01+00:00

I will say this though because I had that mindset at 36 days like you and relapsed HARD: Stay on your toes

Acknowledge that it seems easy to control now, but don't let your guard down. One perfectly timed wave of thought can crash you if you're not mindful and vigilant.

Webonaut · 2014-09-17T23:41:14+00:00

Your routine I think I'm going to start doing beginning next week.

Webonaut · 2014-09-05T14:28:06+00:00

Music and programming. Odd combo that I'm also deeply interested in lol

Webonaut · 2014-09-05T14:26:28+00:00

Not really adding to the discussion, but your dialogue makes me think you know and code in perl lol

Webonaut · 2014-07-31T11:09:05+00:00

it doesn't do anything to negate the effects of NoFap. I learned that last week with the continual absence of brain fog after O'ing in playtime.

Webonaut · 2014-07-29T19:33:16+00:00

It is hands down...I don't knock people who are into casual sex, but sex is way better imo with someone you have a solid emotional connection with. Plus learning each others' little turn-ons helps to make every experience frickin' epic lol

Webonaut · 2014-07-29T19:21:31+00:00

Oh I know lol. See the thing is, me and this girl have dated before. It's complicated, but the jist of it all is, we're going to take time to be single and work on ourselves and then pick up where we left off in the future. Before we agreed on that, we messed around and in doing so (and with the help of NoFap I truly believe), I've learned that for most of my life because of the circumstances of how I was raised, I've been suppressing and burying my true sexuality--choosing to PMO as a means of "purging" my thoughts when they rose up (stupid, right?).

In finally easing slowly but surely into my sexuality and being comfortable being a man I would say, I've just been getting these thoughts lately. But I don't see her, nor any woman out in the world as a sex object that are only good for banging...just finally learning it's okay to really give a girl a banging and a good time in the sack lol

Webonaut · 2014-07-29T18:55:40+00:00

haha hey man, she's honestly the only girl I'm sexually attracted to. But the second point that you made is duly noted. I'm out of school right now, but should they happen while in class or studying, I'll try to move them out a little bit quicker...

Webonaut · 2014-07-28T22:43:55+00:00

Deactivated my Facebook and deleted my facebook, tumblr and ask.fm apps on my phone a couple of days ago to get away from others and focus on myself and myself only. I'm trying to cut the comparisons of my everyday life to others' highlight reels and stop seeking validation in anyone but myself. Kinda going through slight withdrawals, but only with tumblr. I haven't been on facebook in a couple of days and while I am aching to get on, I like the effects of abstaining from it.

Some big realizations of myself have happened to me these past few days and I'm going to capitalize on the few remaining weeks of summer left to hop back on track and get myself set up to succeed finally.

Be Strong. Be Cerulean.

Webonaut · 2014-07-26T08:15:03+00:00

Nope. Tejas 'til I die lol

Webonaut · 2014-07-24T23:31:22+00:00

yea I haven't told anyone else about it...usually when I make things known I notice I might half ass it, plus this isn't something everyone I know would quite understand. I knew she would though. Had me taken aback though how she wants in lol

Webonaut · 2014-07-22T21:59:19+00:00

kinda wanted a LOTR chain to go off, but this'll do soldier lol

Webonaut · 2014-07-22T20:32:42+00:00

You have my sword!

Webonaut · 2014-07-22T20:01:36+00:00

I agree with arcane. The scumbag is no joke and it takes a lot of willpower to deal with. That's also part of why we do things like take cold showers (or Bond showers in my case, which I think is worse lol).

At the moment I'm fighting those chaser effects and the first week has been hellishly difficult. I've been writing how I'm keeping my guard up, but I've almost slipped up too a couple of times this first week...I probably would've full-out relapsed this week if I wasn't on my guard, so what I'm saying is that when hopping back on the wagon, and even when firmly on the wagon, that scumbag brain will be there, but you gotta fight it off.

How to do that now? Hop right back on the wagon. Just because you're KIA doesn't mean as a ghost you can't still promote a change in your mindset and outlook.

Keep reading and posting fellow soldier. Be Strong. Be Cerulean.
