"Pride?" letting your home be disheveled and poorly maintained isn't "pride" it's being a lazy **** . Period. If you aren't mature or motivated or whatever to handle keeping your place clean you aren't "proud" and you should call mommy or daddy back to teach you how to take care of yourself.
***** , part of being a man and not a little bitch is admitting you ****** up and not being a fake ass. If your house is a mess, it is, dont pretend it. You dont have to go all "HERE ARE MINE FEELINGS AND WHY IM SUCH A MESS!!!" you just simply own up to it.
Sometimes you dont have enough time to deal with your place, or you can only afford a place that has something leaking in it and **** . You accept your situation, do you best to deal with it in your power, and own up to it. You dont hide it or pretend you have something more than you do. Thats how you get in the **** .
Nah, I can clean my whole house in about two hours, if you need to split things up over the course of the week, pick a room a day and keep that **** in line, you never know who's gonna pop by. And oh something leaks, if its an apartment check your lease, your landlord may have to fix it ( the usual case) and if not and its not a hole in the ******* roof, chances are all you need are some Teflon tape or some silicon caulking for a quick fix.
Tl;Dr Don't use excuses to live in a **** hole (unless you truely and honestly can't help it), especially if you plan on having people over. Do what you can with what you have, just don't be lazy.
Okay, that sounds like ******** . "I don't have to do anything in my life, because I can still be "a man" if keep admitting I ****** up my life so bad, I can't even hold a clean bathroom, yeah, that will make up for it".
Have some goddamn dignity and expectations from yourself.
Damn straight, dude. It's small, but I have everything I need here to stay alive, and I don't care for people thinking that I have my **** together. I'm 21, I'm far from having my **** together like most people my age, so why the hell would I even pretend.
As I was typing that, I just found an unopened beer from a 6pack. See? My room is glorious as it is, for it hides treasures behind every corner.
I mean, I did have 4 girls here on Friday, so I've no reason to even think that my room would hold me back. People have tried to insult me because of my place on several occasions, but they've never succeeded in making me feel bad. Only thing they accomplish is that they sleep on the ******* floor, because usually I'm such a god ******* damn nice host that I let people sleep on the bed while I go on the floor.
"Hey, man, this is my place and you're a guest, who should get guestly sleeping accommodations, but since space is limited, just sleep in my bed, dude."
The way I see it, it's like this... I like sleeping in my own bed, and I feel a bit uncomfortable whenever I am at someones home sleeping there. I'm far from being the only one that's like this, so I want to make whoever the **** is here feel as comfortable as possible. I get to sleep in my bed all the times anyways, so I'm fine with spending a night or two on the floor every once in a while. Most of my guests feel more at home here than I do, and the ones who don't are the cunts who insult me and my room.
**** those cunts. I like having people over, so why the **** would anyone ever want to come over if I make them feel like **** whenever they are here? They treat my home well, and my home and I treat them well. Simple as that.
If I weren't as sociable as a tranquilized mattress, I'd try having more people over, but my social skills are "Hey, why don't we get drunk and play Bloodborne?"
Aye, I used to be like that just a few months ago. Now I've gotten a lot more confidence, I'm constantly invited to places, and hell I'm even doing really ******* fantastically with girls. It's not actually that difficult to become more social and confident and all that, you just need the right thing to start that transformation in your life. I got help from a relative, and then I started realizing that god damn I can be funny, according to others I'm good looking, I'm great with my words if I need to be and so on, so I figured that alright I might as well stop being this god damn hermit and I should live my life the way I want to. Also my haircut helped a ******* oddly enough.
I know it's cliche as **** , but I'm fine socializing with dudes, I'm no comedian or looker, but I can decently socialize, if it's a topic I know lots about, but I can't get off on the right foot with girls, which is embarrassing as **** to say because it makes me sound like a total beta, but it's true.
Nah, mate, doesn't make you sound like a beta. I've met dudes that are usually alpha as **** , but fail miserably when talking to girls unless the girl does most of the work in the conversation. It happens, and it's fine. This can be changed however, it just takes some work. Main thing is to not be afraid. Every time I started talking to a girl, I was afraid because whenever I want to say something I'm like "Okay, but what if she thinks what I'll say is stupid? What if she thinks my jokes are bad? What if she thinks I am boring?", and now I just erase those thoughts. You know what makes it difficult to be social? Thinking it's difficult to be social. Start telling yourself you can do this **** , and I promise you that you can. Once I realized that it isn't really that hard to talk to girls, it no longer was hard.
You accurately stated my problem, I always think I'm gonna trip up, what if I say something offensive? What if I say something rude, callous, etc? And then I usually do.
If I tell her a ****** joke, I just start laughing and say **** like "God damn, that was so ******* bad hahaha.". Admit it that you ****** up, and laugh about it, that helps a lot. Everyone ***** up, even I **** up, just don't be afraid to admit that you ****** up. Usually girls have started laughing also once they see me laughing about my own failures. That's when they start laughing with you instead of at you. It shows confidence.
It's easy to give up, believe you me I know that very well, but god ******* damn is it fun if you don't give up and get the results you wanted to in the first place.
Exactly, because if you were the kind of man who had that level of pride, you wouldn't be living in a shack, you would have worked to ensure your accommodations fit the person you believe you are.
You can't work up to that instantly, my friend, and if your'e just getting into the world, you can't get a nice house right away, so if you can only afford a shack, be proud of the shack.
**geofalke used "*roll picture*"** **geofalke rolled image**>implying that a roast, wine, berries, and dark chocolate doesn't sound ******* delicious regardless of your junk's configuration
15 is good advice. Just get some tea, that **** is good for like half of your common illnesses from a cold to a UTI. Of course do your research on what kind. Like peppermint is good for nausea and stuffed nose. Black tea has the highest level a caffeine, green tea is good for overall cleansing and losing weight. Also you'll look fancy as **** if you drink tea.
Also, don't buy those bags but bigger packages with loose tea.
You can fill them in metal boxes and it will look fancy as **** . Also allowes your sophisticated tea companion to take a nose of aroma to decide which one suits him or her best.
Well, well. Didn't know those existed. In such a huge variety that is.
Don't think I like them, though.
I always just use filters, like the dirty capitalist pig I am.
I prefer infusers because they are quicker and also my friends think I'm rad as **** when I pull out some cute/funny one. Except for metal infusers, they tend to leave a weird taste sometimes.
I always prepare some tea when I have something over and they need to talk about **** . Helps looen up, helps calming down, helps with a potential headache etc, etc, etc. Tea master race.
Ayy yo there's this other stuff that's good for illnesses, it's called 'medicine'. It's only been around for the past 500 years or so, so you may not have heard of it.
you dont take medicine for a common fukken cold or a sore throat unless youre a kid or and old guy. put some honey in a cup of tea and it'll loosen that snot and help on that throat
As I said in a previous comment, there are some medicines that simply don't roth it opposed to tea. Fo example. I get a UTI. Option one: Go to the doctor. He sends me to tests, then a few days later prescribes me antibiotics. During those few days the bacteria causing the infection is happily marinating in my bladder getting worse and worse. After a few more days of this the antibiotics kick in. Then the side effects kick in. It makes my birth control useless, ***** up my period, causes nausea, headaches, dizzyness, stomach pains... and a yeats infection. So I head to the doctor to cure my yeast infection with even more medicine which in turn causes even more side effects. Total time until complete healthiness: 1 month
Option 2: I realize I have a UTI. I brew up a total of 2 litres of diuretic and cranberry tea. I sit down on the toilet with my phone/book, drink a cup of tea about every 5-10 minutes while also peeing like a racehorse every 5-10 minutes. This washes out my bladder like a ************ , bacteria included. After the 2 litres of tea is gone I wait another 15 mins to all come out the leave the toilet and forget about the infection until next winter. Total time until complete healthiness: 3-4 hours. In general, just **** antibiotics
Every time I visit he just prescpribes more and more antibiotics, when i tell him how much it ****** me up he doubles the dose. Actually I used to be really prone to them for a time (especially since they're one of those "you get it once, you'll probably get it again) illnesses) but I learned to pay attention to what can cause it so I get them really rarely now and even if I have it, it's gone in a few hours. Still, I should switch to a doctor who actually knows his **** (if i ever find one) so maybe there's some easier solution.
Aaaaayeee somebody who respects the power of tea. Aside from pure health benefits, it can do wonders for your emotional state, too.
Word of advice, though - if you're an over-emotional **** like me, don't choose tea that makes you think of someone you miss, and especially don't be an asshole and do that when you're lonely.
Fortunately I don't have any tea like that.
I started loving it when I found out that when I have a UTI I can either choose to run oround with it for a few days until my doctor does tests, then a few more until the antibiotics kick in then another 2 weeks until I get rid of the antibio's side effects OR sit my ass down on the toilet in the company of 2 litres of diuretic tea (there are special mixes that really wash you out) and come out 3-4 hours later perfectly healthy.
And yet, loads of people (mostly other guys, in my experience) refuse to even consider it because "What am I, a faggot?" or "Nah, tea is for girls, I drink coffee like a man" ok dude you have fun with all that bad **** , I'll be over here... y'know, not getting cancer, having lower risk of stroke, and not over-caffeinating myself.
Or you could just take some ******* steps to live a better life. Find books that you enjoy and read them, start a garden for those fresh herbs in a vase, and dried herbs in glass jars, and teas. Fresh, homegrown fruit for dessert also beats any store bought fruit. Or you could just practice cooking and baking a little so you can make a decent, real dessert.
This culture of "let's pretend like we're living healthy and satisfying lifestyles while we're all really struggling to find fulfillment" is toxic and I'd like to help make it end soon, for the sake of everyone and myself
so,basically,you can't find fulfillment unless you grow ******* plants? It's a joke man, everyone cleans their act a bit before guests arrive, no need to call OP toxic for making a few jokes loosely based on that.
Naw man, doesn't have to be plants. That just happens to be my passion. What fulfills me. But my point is, get EXCITED about something. Then surround yourself with things that remind you of your passions.
I didn't call OP toxic, I called the culture toxic. Sorry if my original comment was a bit overboard
Ah, I get it now,and I agree with that statement. I got off a vibe which i misinterpeted that you're the one of those people who attack others who don't share their interests. I am sorry for that, I reread your comment and i get your view now. People tend to do something just because it's popular,and avoid new things out of the box just because it isn't on the same bandwagon,therefore resulting in no interests at all.
id rather man up and deal with everyone being aware of my poverty
all of this **** is not only vain and weak, but impractical and pointless unless you're trying to get laid
But if they're your friends, wouldn't they just call you on your ******** because they know how you truly are and know what your place really looks like most of the time?
