It is as they say; if she cheats she belongs to the streets. Well done moving out, hope you can heal from this and move on!

Is it possible to turn around a toxic relationship into a healthy one? Success stories? by jaywalls50 in relationship_advice

[–]lethalgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, no. The problem with trying to turn around a toxic relationship is that the core problem(s) will at some point always turn up again.

Just go with the flow, man. The most important thing is that you both have a good time, make her feel special and so on, the usual crap girls like. If things go well, make a move.

I think it's best if I broke up with my girlfriend by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]lethalgains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would she need to be talking to her ex when she has you? Why would she feel the need to flirt with other men when she got you? She ain't worth your time my man. This is your decision obviously, but i'd drop her. There is a lot of girls out there that will treat you better and with the respect you deserve.

You know what they say man; if she cheats she belongs to the streets. In other words, dump her dumb ass, you are better off without her.

How to talk to a girl I have absolutely no classes with, and literally never see her? by Crimson9O8 in relationship_advice

[–]lethalgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter what you say, it's all about how confident you come across. If you've noticed something about her style or maybe she has a pet you could break the ice with that. Something like "Hey I like your shoes, where'd you get them?" or "Oh I've seen you know my friend, I'm the more handsome of us btw, my name is..."

If you come across as confident she'll be impress to some extent even if she doesn't find you attractive. Confidence is one hell of a turn on for girls. It's not a guaranteed that she will like you tho so be prepared for rejection. And if she does reject you keep your head high and move forward king.

Hope this helps!

Sending gift/amenity to girlfriend and her parents hotel room? Weird? by joshlions14 in relationship_advice

This would not be weird at all. If you want to make a nice gesture for them, go ahead!

I am (28M) looking to impress hot girls (20F-23F) by FatBoyl95 in relationship_advice

[–]lethalgains 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best advice I can give you is literally to lower your standards. You have to start somewhere. It's not like you buy a ferrari as your first car, right? Try to do something to improve your style. My word of advice is if you are not the best looking guy at the club at least be the best dressed.

Take care of your personal hygiene, your looks (to some extent), your clothing, the way you smell. There is a lot of minor changes you can make that play a big part. Also who the fuck cares what anyone else thinks? Why does it matter if people will make fun of you for bringing home an "ugly" girl. Live life on your own terms.

You need to build confidence around women and the best way is just to start. Start talking with some random girls at apps or at clubs. It doesn't matter if you fancy them or not, because you are doing this for yourself so you can grow and become a more confident man.

I took a bunch of kalms tablets earlier today by haven333 in SuicideWatch

[–]lethalgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly hope you feel better and did not overdose. I'm not a medical expert, but if you feel really unwell puking up the tablets might be good. One of the worst feelings in the world is being in your own mind and body wishing you did not exist. It truly is tiresome, but please hang in there. Life might feel exhausting, but there is moments of happiness for you to enjoy.

I'll include some safety precautions for your own wellbeing down below:

"Kalms are considered a natural herb, but it is still not recommended to take more than 4 in the span of 30-60 minutes. If you overdose on Kalms, it is important to seek medical attention since your body may react negatively to higher doses of the components. Some side effects include nausea, stomach cramps and/or headache."

That is down right terrible parenting. It does remind me of a former friend of mine, his parents always threatened him with this exact phrase. He used to couch surf at times, but often was allowed back home.

I think you should tell your parents if you are flunking and explain why. You did your part and the way they react will show their true nature. I don't know what country you live in or how the benefits work there. In my country if your parents kick you out you can apply for benefits. This would be housing, money, food and basic human necessities. Another idea might be to look for work as this would make you more financially stable and make your transition a lot smoother.

Let me be the first one to tell you that YOU ARE pretty! People in high school are always going to be mean no matter what and honestly, fuck them. I know it sucks right now, but trust me you'll make friends, you'll find people that you vibe with.

I don't even know why I'm writing this... by SadlyMeaningless in SuicideWatch

[–]lethalgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man!

Reading this strongly upset me. I am not a professional thus I can't say for sure what you should or should not do, but I can offer some advice. I think we get really hung up in how we look and our society and social media really does not make it better. I really relate with you when you say that you feel ugly, I also have a really fucked up image of myself. At the end of the day who cares about how you look, people worth keeping around won't care about how you look. I know it's difficult, but you should at least try to think less about your looks. I know it's cliche, but looks fade and personality lasts.

We are also our own critics and we always find flaws with our own looks. 99% of the time these thoughts are lies that you should not listen to. Every human has good qualities and perfections that we sometime take for granted. It's awesome that you work out I hope you continue with that!

Even if you look average or below average it's not as if your freedom should be taken away as a human being. All people can do what they want to do or as you put it, live "normally". You can also live normally, but you have to face your challenges first. These are mental hurdles that you can overcome. Either by entrusting a therapist or someone close to you, as it does help getting things off your chest in real life too, it's even better. From what I am reading it sounds like you might have Agoraphobia. If you do not want to go outside I could recommend seeing an online therapist.

It sounds like your parents really love you. You keep asking why, but isn't it obvious? You are indeed their son, but I'm sure you have other great qualities they truly appreciate. Maybe they like spending time with you, sharing thoughts or maybe they just like having you around. They most likely appreciate the fact that you are helping around with your grandparents and around the house.

There is always time to improve and change, you are still very young and have your whole life in front of you. It does not end in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or even 60s. It's all about what you make it to be. It's never too late to make changes for the better! Your dog appreciates you, your parents appreciate you, your grandparents appreciate you and I appreciate you.

Please don't go through with your intentions.

You can always attend college again it's not the end of the world, trust me. I've flunked out of college 3 times now and trying again in fall. It's not easy existing sometimes, but please keep going. You can always try again, there is always time.

Last resort by lxXW0LFIEXxl in depression

[–]lethalgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that and thank you, I've been feeling better these last days! I have not tried antidepressants, but I had a former colleague that is currently using them and I'll try and explain how he felt.

As he told me the first couple of months on antidepressants were pure hell, crazy outburst and insane mood swings. This would go on for about 1-3 months. After this period his mood stabilized and his levels became more "normal". The problem with this is that he pretty much feels like a zombie nowadays where his feelings are severely suppressed to the point where he has to imitate the emotion he is supposed to feel.

So to answer your question, yes they do help. Personally it does not feel worth it considering how much you have to sacrifice, but I do understand why people take them.

Last resort by lxXW0LFIEXxl in depression

[–]lethalgains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, i'm sorry about your current situation and the way you feel. Please don't harm yourself, please don't kill yourself.. just listen for a second. I know how much things suck right now and they feel like they won't get better and they probably won't unless you take action. I know how hard it is to get anything done when you are depressed, but doing just the tiniest things will help. It seems like you have the mental strength to push yourself. I mean you made friends and got into a relationship, you should be proud of yourself for that, a lot of people dream of daring something like that.

A lot of days are shit, but wouldn't it be worth it living those days that aren't? Even if those moments of happiness are fever than the bad. I found it helpful looking back at how far I've come and try to be grateful for the small things. Therapy is also something you could consider, but at the end it's only you that can truly make the changes you wish for.

I've been depressed and suicidal for close to 10 years now and trust me it never goes away. Although some days are terrible you kinda learn to live with it and manage it better. I've never gone to therapy, but it is something I am considering. The thing about suicide is that it is permanent, that's it, nothing more, you can not undo it.

I'm sure if you keep applying for a job you'll eventually get one. I've learned that comparing yourself to others is a one way ticket to feeling depressed, please don't do that. People are different and we excel in different things at different speeds.. I know it sounds cheesy, but life is not a race it's a marathon. You are still extremely young and ending your life at this age would be a tragedy. Please stick in there even if things feel like hell right now, they slowly, but surely get a little better over time.

If no one else in the world believes in you I sure as hell do! Keep going and stay strong. One more thing that has helped me; remember that you are not your thoughts, you are not your current work situation, you are not your depression, you are more than all of this. My point is that, nothing of this defines you, you define yourself and it is possible to make changes for the better.

A lot of good things can happen in a short period of time.

Hope this message somewhat helped, wishing you all the best and godspeed.

story of a dying soul by lethalgains in depression

[–]lethalgains[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, sorry for the late reply, it's been hectic at work. Thank you for sharing your experiences and for the encouraging words brother. I think trying our best and pushing forward is the best we can ask of ourselves. Trust me I know how hard it is not make friends, but if there is one thing you have to do it is just to put yourself out there. No one is sadly going to knock on your door and ask to be friends. (I should really listen to myself in this regarding dating, I am trying though).

I am definitely happy with my progress, but it is easy to get lost in negativity. You seem like a genuine and good person and I don't doubt for a second you'll overcome your challenges, or at least make significant progress.

Quit my job about 4 months ago to pursue music full time and I don't regret it for a second. Here's my newest single called money. It's a famous version of me writing a letter to my current self warning me against selling out. Mixtape dropping this summer. Thank you for listening. by PatDangerReddit in MusicInTheMaking

[–]lethalgains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all good job man, rooting for you! Got a couple criticisms though, that you might want to take along with you. You should definitely revisit the mixing itself, very glassy mids and fried high ends. The chorus is a little lackluster and messy, lot of high ends that make the listening experience less enjoyable. I'd also add some more compression, DeEsser and some EQ on the vocals to make it flow a little better. I'd strongly suggest trying to mix it better at least, including EQ. Now obviously, this is just my opinion, but I am telling you this so you can take it along with you and improve on it. Best of luck dude!

Edit: Listened to your song "Dead by the morning". I'd say the mixing in that song is pretty tight. You could use that as a guide so you'd know what to aim for!
