I think your problem is that you have low self esteem and you let your past have too much control over you. The sentence I quoted speaks volumes about how you see yourself. No one has zero baggage, as you get older you obtain more baggage. And not having a ton of exes could be seen as a lack...

There is no correct way to reject someone. Not every guy handles rejection the same way. As long as the girl who does the rejecting is fine with the way she did it, she should not feel bad for hurting the guy's feelings. It's a sucky situation, but oh well, someone's feelings are going to...

I could see myself at my current line of work for 30 years, urban planning. However the politics are quite ridiculous at the moment and I am looking for another city for employment.

She wants to use you for answers for homework/class work/tests. She won't hang out with you outside of class because you bring too much drama to her (clingy). You should proceed by going no contact with her and finding friends who will treat you better.

You seem very difficult and self doubting in this thread. We're trying to help you and your posts are a little too bit dismissive and aggressive. Beggars can't be choosers. Just sign up for the 5k, finish it, and talk to a bunch of people afterwards. Granted you're going to have to put...

People stay well after most participants have finished. There is a bunch of socializing at the end of the event where the sponsors pedal their wares and the hosts are handing out the awards. They wait to give out the awards after the vast majority of people have finished. The event is in the...

My dad is in his early 60s and he's doing it to stay in shape. 50 is nothing. There were women in their 60s participating http://www.carpinteriatriathlon.com/sprint-course-2016-overall-results/ You'd do more socializing after the race, and maybe before the race if you had a training partner...

Bringing it back to the first post. This weekend I went to support my dad run in a triathlon. To keep it short, after the race we talked a bit on the car ride home and he asked me why I didn't run with him. He wanted me to participate in this activity as he thought there were a lot of single...

Your dad might be a narcissist. Look at it through this lens. Either he wants you to feed his ego, or he sees you as a threat. You trying to set up boundaries makes you seem like a threat. You won't bend to his will. Don't feel bad about setting these boundaries. Healthy relationships have...

I don't have statistics to back this up, but isn't divorce usually initiated by women as it is a product of the process being stacked in their favor?

That's so generous of you to post in this thread, a thread about inappropriate content addiction. I wish it was that easy. Bless your heart for your helpful advice.

That's true for most things, but inappropriate contentography is an addiction. It's a life long battle that you have to fight every day. If you don't guard your eyes, avoid your triggers, and pay attention to when you're vulnerable you could relapse. When you relapse it becomes a "current" struggle. It's such...

If a guy spends hours on skype talking to you he is interested in you. He could be really bad about checking his phone. But it's weird that he would post on facebook but not answer a text that needs a response. If he's updating facebook on his computer, then I wouldn't worry. But if he's using...

I am the exact same. I look down on people who have them but I know I shouldn't pre-judge people like that.

Does engineering take the least amount of classes for you to graduate? Can you switch to an easier major? Really you want to be a used car salesman? They don't have the best reputation. Starting your own business takes a lot of energy, don't a lot of entrepreneurs work a lot more than 40 hours...

Have you looked into talking to a therapist? Looking through your post history you've been prescribed zoloft at one point. Have you been going to church lately? How about volunteering for church or for a non-profit charity? Do you know what you want to do for a living? If you eventually do...

Isn't this just trying to grasp how God can be omnipotent while giving us free will? There are some apologetics you can Google to try to comprehend it. ViaCrucis' post is pretty good.

There has to be a better phrase than "just be yourself." If I wanted to be myself from a year ago, I would be shy, lazy, non-confrontational, and bitter. Being myself got me into my own mess, so saying I should be myself is patronizing. "Improve yourself," is a good phrase, but I don't...

I know what you're going through as I once overvalued being nice. I thought taking her on errands, listening to her problems, never starting an argument with her, and letting her dictate the terms of the friendship would totally win her over. From my naive point of view, why wouldn't a woman...

I assume Amy is roughly your age (26), and not 18-19? It seems like you over value your nice quality. Most women don't want a guy who is a pushover who will do whatever they tell him to do. They want someone who is independent and interesting. Complimenting her, holding the door open for her...
