Eating crusts builds character.
And improves your singing voice. Or is that burnt crusts

After a long depressing day I thought I should come to this thread to vent so here I go.

I'm a 21 year old loser with no friends. I cut off the small circle of stoner homies I had in highschool when we graduated cause of that time being a turning point for our lives. It was kinda like that movie Superbad where they all get jealous of each other throughout the movie. My friends always felt superficial to me anyways and didn't always seem like they understood my inner mental struggles. I'm just tired of hanging with fake people that only use me for weed or misery loves company sorta vibes. It always seemed like no one in the group wanted anyone to be better than each other or else they'd become a threat.

I've had no good action on the board these past couple weeks. I always feel burnt out and my legs feel like spaghetti noodles.2020 was my best year on the board , I convinced my self to go to the skatepark multiple days a week the whole year and started skating more down rails and gnarlier obstacles. The time has come where I reached my peak and now its over. I have no motivation anymore to push myself when it comes to skating. Some slappies and a couple flat ground tricks and that's it, that's all I got.

After highschool I continued working as a bus boy at a restaurant where I one day had a mental breakdown. The fakeness of being a customer service employee kills me. I was never socially gifted to begin with and I had to put on a fake smile for two years and walk in there every day. Also a girl i knew from school got a job there one day suprisingly. She had friend zoned me and rejected me many times in public but we were still "friends." I was super weirded out when she got a job at the same place as me because I had told her where I worked before. When we were working together our other co workers noticed that we had a bit of a connection (nothing romantic, but I talked to her more than I ever did to my original co workers) and they all grouped up one day and gave me their advice saying that they thought she liked me and I should shoot my shot for her. I explained that we were just friends but all my co workers were hyping me up to do it. I ended up making a move one night when we decided to meet up and smoke. I told her how I honestly felt about her and she didn't feel the same. Things got awkward real quick,right there, right then. She ended up dating another co worker of mine. A better looking dude and made me look like a total fool and still kept working there during all of this. Everyone else knew I was mentally damaged but no one said anything.

The night after my mental break down at work (which is too embarassing to describe) I told my parents the real truth about how I felt in life and how I was depressed and had felt like I had no self esteem. My parents were clueless on how to even react and now I just regret ever having that job and putting in my final two weeks I should've never showed up the day I fucked up my flirt attempt. I'm unemployed right now just using the money I made from food delivery apps to buy my own food,weed, skate board parts, etc. My folks keep mentioning community college classes or trade school to me when really I just feel like becoming a homeless skateboarder and smoking weed all day while I sit on my ass on the sidewalk eating takeout with the $ I beg for and watching as hot chicks go by.

I really have been thinking about going homeless though. Maybe hitchhike to SF or Santa Cruz cause the scene there might be better. I just love living stress free and not having to worry about security or materialistic things. I feel ashamed of not being able to please my parents by getting a 9 to 5 but I hate the corporate world.

There is a wellness and outreach support thread stickied in Whatever if you'd feel you'd like to talk to someone over there. By no means a bunch of therapists, but a lot of people have been where you are before and are maybe a little bit older/have some insight. Couldn't hurt to lay it out there

Uh Oh

First, disregard any guilt you may harbor over that mental breakdown. It’s in the past, it happened, you are stronger for it. Rejection sucks, but it’s part of life. It blows that it got so awkward and that there were several cohorts invested in the outcome, but she was upfront and honest to your face no matter how uneasy it was. Plenty of people wouldn’t be and that’s much worse..

Invest in yourself, young one. Learn a skill or trade then try your hitchhiking adventure. What are your interests?
Your folks sound supportive enough, gentle urges in a direction that could set you up with a safe career. As far as their reaction, no parent has all the answers and it can be devastating to hear their child is depressed. I’m sure they would be happy if you got a 9-5 grind, but would be even more stoked if you were doing something that brings you happiness.

Life is never completely free of stressors. The reality is that work is necessary. Either to keep yourself preoccupied or keep yourself safe. You have purpose, you will find it.


P.S. Please don’t try living on the streets without deep preparation for it. It is glamorized in fiction. Learn basic survival skills.
For most it isn’t a choice and a lot don’t bounce back.

I'm trying really hard to meet women and it's not working. When I look at myself in the mirror I think that I'm a handsome man, but I know I must not be considering I get no play on the apps. I try to meet women in the wild too but no one's interested in what I'm selling. I oscillate between being distraught over it and accepting that I'll be alone forever in stride all the time. Serious mood swings. I wish I could stay indifferent forever.

maybe you should go to an open mic and try stand up comedy since you’re so self deprecating and im sure you’re funny in real life .. and try and meet a girl that’s into that scene

I know you're probably tired of unsolicited advice and don't want to hear a "nahh man you're a handsome stud!" line because even though people are well-intentioned, it can get old (at least it did when I was feeling like I'd be single forever). So all i will say is that I truly do hope for you to find happiness in whatever form it will look like for you, and I am looking forward to the day when you find it and post about it on here because I have been reading your posts on SLAP for almost 10 years now and you really seem like a kindhearted soul and a good person, and you deserve happiness.

And you have great flick on your kickflips.

Man, you can say that again. That one on the tennis court over the can in the wifebeater (am I misremembering the wardrobe and topography?) was outright studly.

Real talk I do not feel bad for abandoning my poisonous mom at all, my older siblings have told me so and I’m heading their advice.

I’ve tried and wanted to honestly say I tried with little success but I gave it my best.

I find it funny how these boomers from 81-77 age they’ve done waaaaaay too many good drugs and we’re the result.

Dave Ramsey isn't 100% correct.  That being said, I appreciate his various videos explaining in detail how to deal with family who feel they can bilk their family members/children for cash.

I'm going through that right now with a parent and it sucks, but you know what, I refuse to finance their stupidity.  In my case, it is BIG stupidity.  Inarguable stupidity.  Egregious stupidity.  Take care of YOUR finances, YOUR credit score, and YOUR mental health first and foremost.

Keep your head up and keep doing those kickflips and you'll be okay.

Seriously. I cannot stress enough how good your kickflip is.

Now I wanna see THE kickflip

My only advice on meeting women (in case you wanna 'hear' it) is don't go out there ONLY looking to meet women. Go do your daily life and don't force encounters.

Let it happen naturally and you won't be nervous or thinking what you should do next in order to impress the ladies. Easier said than done I know but once things flow naturally you will be more confident and the ladies love confident men. Say your shit like you mean it and don't hesitate in complimenting her, not only her looks but what she's wearing and the way she talks and giggles and shit

Hope this helps somehow

Nearly a decade ago I went through a Taco Bell drive-thru and attempted to order a Chalupa Supreme. Instead, I ordered a "Chipotle Extreme". The guy on speaker was like "YOU WANT A WHAT?!" and I kept repeating myself. When I pulled up to pay everyone inside was laughing at me.

Still think about that sometimes.  :-\

After a long depressing day I thought I should come to this thread to vent so here I go.

I'm a 21 year old loser with no friends. I cut off the small circle of stoner homies I had in highschool when we graduated cause of that time being a turning point for our lives. It was kinda like that movie Superbad where they all get jealous of each other throughout the movie. My friends always felt superficial to me anyways and didn't always seem like they understood my inner mental struggles. I'm just tired of hanging with fake people that only use me for weed or misery loves company sorta vibes. It always seemed like no one in the group wanted anyone to be better than each other or else they'd become a threat.

I've had no good action on the board these past couple weeks. I always feel burnt out and my legs feel like spaghetti noodles.2020 was my best year on the board , I convinced my self to go to the skatepark multiple days a week the whole year and started skating more down rails and gnarlier obstacles. The time has come where I reached my peak and now its over. I have no motivation anymore to push myself when it comes to skating. Some slappies and a couple flat ground tricks and that's it, that's all I got.

After highschool I continued working as a bus boy at a restaurant where I one day had a mental breakdown. The fakeness of being a customer service employee kills me. I was never socially gifted to begin with and I had to put on a fake smile for two years and walk in there every day. Also a girl i knew from school got a job there one day suprisingly. She had friend zoned me and rejected me many times in public but we were still "friends." I was super weirded out when she got a job at the same place as me because I had told her where I worked before. When we were working together our other co workers noticed that we had a bit of a connection (nothing romantic, but I talked to her more than I ever did to my original co workers) and they all grouped up one day and gave me their advice saying that they thought she liked me and I should shoot my shot for her. I explained that we were just friends but all my co workers were hyping me up to do it. I ended up making a move one night when we decided to meet up and smoke. I told her how I honestly felt about her and she didn't feel the same. Things got awkward real quick,right there, right then. She ended up dating another co worker of mine. A better looking dude and made me look like a total fool and still kept working there during all of this. Everyone else knew I was mentally damaged but no one said anything.

The night after my mental break down at work (which is too embarassing to describe) I told my parents the real truth about how I felt in life and how I was depressed and had felt like I had no self esteem. My parents were clueless on how to even react and now I just regret ever having that job and putting in my final two weeks I should've never showed up the day I fucked up my flirt attempt. I'm unemployed right now just using the money I made from food delivery apps to buy my own food,weed, skate board parts, etc. My folks keep mentioning community college classes or trade school to me when really I just feel like becoming a homeless skateboarder and smoking weed all day while I sit on my ass on the sidewalk eating takeout with the $ I beg for and watching as hot chicks go by.

I really have been thinking about going homeless though. Maybe hitchhike to SF or Santa Cruz cause the scene there might be better. I just love living stress free and not having to worry about security or materialistic things. I feel ashamed of not being able to please my parents by getting a 9 to 5 but I hate the corporate world.

I started writing an essay for you, but I'll just try to cut right to it.
I was unmotivated as fuck at your age. 33 now.
Shit gets better.
Things that matter now will be trivial in the not so distant future.
Have confidence in yourself. You're more capable than you think.
Don't be homeless. Definitely take a chance and move away if you need a change of scenery or just an adventure while you're young and don't have much responsibility, but make sure you've always got a comfortable place to stay and a way to put food on your table.
Life is stressful, and I've never met a truly stress-free person. Even eliminating material things from your life will not completely remove stress. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting nice things in life and enough money to do what you want. How you make that happen comes down to the moves you make in life. Try to make the right ones, and learn when it doesn't go your way.


I hope this doesn't come off as me being a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" dickhead. I honestly wish more people were straight with me earlier on. You've got this man.

I was super weirded out when she got a job at the same place as me because I had told her where I worked before. When we were working together our other co workers noticed that we had a bit of a connection (nothing romantic, but I talked to her more than I ever did to my original co workers) and they all grouped up one day and gave me their advice saying that they thought she liked me and I should shoot my shot for her. I explained that we were just friends but all my co workers were hyping me up to do it. I ended up making a move one night when we decided to meet up and smoke. I told her how I honestly felt about her and she didn't feel the same. Things got awkward real quick,right there, right then. She ended up dating another co worker of mine. A better looking dude and made me look like a total fool and still kept working there during all of this. Everyone else knew I was mentally damaged but no one said anything.

The night after my mental break down at work (which is too embarassing to describe) I told my parents the real truth about how I felt in life and how I was depressed and had felt like I had no self esteem. My parents were clueless on how to even react and now I just regret ever having that job and putting in my final two weeks I should've never showed up the day I fucked up my flirt attempt. I'm unemployed right now just using the money I made from food delivery apps to buy my own food,weed, skate board parts, etc. My folks keep mentioning community college classes or trade school to me when really I just feel like becoming a homeless skateboarder and smoking weed all day while I sit on my ass on the sidewalk eating takeout with the $ I beg for and watching as hot chicks go by.

I really have been thinking about going homeless though. Maybe hitchhike to SF or Santa Cruz cause the scene there might be better. I just love living stress free and not having to worry about security or materialistic things. I feel ashamed of not being able to please my parents by getting a 9 to 5 but I hate the corporate world.

I started writing an essay for you, but I'll just try to cut right to it.
I was unmotivated as fuck at your age. 33 now.
Shit gets better.
Things that matter now will be trivial in the not so distant future.
Have confidence in yourself. You're more capable than you think.
Don't be homeless. Definitely take a chance and move away if you need a change of scenery or just an adventure while you're young and don't have much responsibility, but make sure you've always got a comfortable place to stay and a way to put food on your table.
Life is stressful, and I've never met a truly stress-free person. Even eliminating material things from your life will not completely remove stress. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting nice things in life and enough money to do what you want. How you make that happen comes down to the moves you make in life. Try to make the right ones, and learn when it doesn't go your way.


I hope this doesn't come off as me being a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" dickhead. I honestly wish more people were straight with me earlier on. You've got this man.

This is good advice and doesn't come off as bootstrapping. Ur good 👍🏼

Anyone do in-store shopping, maybe for the health food front of one of the biggest corporations in the world? I want to apply to grad school for next fall and I just need to empty my brain for the GRE. How awful could it be?

Study, study, and then study. It's not bad if you committ to proper time management and have enough time ahead to prepare.

I had a friend who did that (personal shopper said company), said it wasn't too terrible.

With the GRE, yeah, just study. There is some rote memorization with the vocab and math stuff, but a lot of it is logic and critical thinking with answering questions (not giving them more information than they want even though questions will often tempt you to do so, etc.)

So far, this is every paper I've written in grad school.

My confession: I attempted the write a stupid introduction about myself on the online discussion board for my HR class. I was pretty blown out and seriously typed "I have my basters degree in..." meaning to say bachelors. Thankfully I caught it and had a good laugh. Somehow I breeze through this shit.

You'll do fine, Dwyck.

thanks guys.

I'm in urban studies and a master's is the only step to work in the field for me, but between Covid and a relationship failing I put it off. I'm looking forward to it. I've been out school just long enough to miss academia. Gotta grind the GRE out (and living with my mom again) and I think everything else will be rewarding. Interviewing at a dish/porter job tomorrow 🤞
