When people say hello and bye at the spot it makes my day. Also it helps me atone for being rude to Briana King once

I can't stand greetings and goodbyes. I want to skip them for the rest of my life. Sorry to you and anyone like you.

Thats propably a reason why you have no luck with girl. you do you.

I mean, I am awkward with greeting the women in my wider social circle, but that's because I don't know what to do and I can't gage how much familiarity with them I should show. I know exactly one girl that isn't a family member that I can converse with fairly easily as a friend and that's largely because of how gregarious a person she is. It's definitely one impediment among many. I hate greeting guys too. I don't know what stupid hand gesture to do and I'm liable to whiff that hand anyway. I've got a lot of social anxiety.

I slide out the back door at family gatherings. I just feel like enough is enough and I don’t feel like saying goodbye to every person individually.

Not a fan of handshakes. Some people don’t know when to let go and hold on too long. My friends and I never shook hands, dapped, whatever. Just basically through the deuces.

Maybe it just takes you time to warm up. I can relate to that. The people I usually wind up liking better are the ones who it takes a while to get used to.

I am really over my current corporate job; not corporate life because I do like element of my job, just the current role. I got tasked a project by my boss that I feel is destined to fail; my counterparts in the US office who took on a similar project said it was incredibly difficult and the end result was a shit show. I in the past I power my way through my unpleasant projects in the past, but I feel nothing for the role and the contribution I am making. Been applying for a couple of roles during my break and during the evenings.

Sitting in a similar position... Problem is, I can solve the problem if only the fuckers in power gave me access to one specific account...which they won't...

Anyway... beats being outside.

Feel ya, I like the pay check and the work-life balance it affords, but I'm spinning my wheels here. I would have been OK to milk it out for a few months but the project I got assigned to is a big bummer; but good in a way that it showed me this is not what I want to do.

What is it exactly that you guys do if you feel comfortable sharing? Where'd you go to school and what for?

I get self-conscious about the fact that I live with my mom. I wish I didn't care but I think it really effects my self-worth, not to mention my prospects with actually finding a woman that can stand me. I'm saving money right now but I enjoy looking at listings on Craigslist and similar sites. Anyone else like doing that? Anyway, this is another post about trying to be better in the skin that I'm in.

I got my degree in psychology and I work in tech, unfortunately the more boring part, not the booming ones like cloud, security, AI, ML etc. I won't complain that my domain expertise gave me a decently comfortable life, but it's the current role I'm in that is making me feel like I'm running in place. I'd be happier out in the field doing sales (pre-sales specifically), even though the stress is higher (sales targets) I feel more connected to actually solving a customer problem.

[iKobrakai]

Education in Sweden is free so that's how I got my degree. Also they pretty much bailed my life out by financing four detoxes+rehab stints. I work for a mutal fund company.

I've been a tearing element to Swedish society for a long ass time. Now, I do repay by being taxed out off the ass.

Whatever you feel about yourself, L33t, you're still way better than I:ve been for most of my life. The things you do are legit. You'll be fine, even though it feels like shit never ends.

It’s definitely not fun, I finally got mine done last month and I was fortunate enough to get it quick.

Brother don’t be down cause you got helped out by the system or whatever. I believe in the concept of the welfare state and there’s nothing wrong with accepting help when you need it

I was able to afford to go to University in my country because of government grants/allowances. It's not free anymore, unfortunately, but it was 10 years ago. If I were in another country I likely wouldn't have been able to go to college and have the life I now have.

Governments are there to help the people with things they can't otherwise do. Always remember, they work for us, not the other way around.

I'm from Chicago area, lived in the city for 4 years then moved to Nice part of LA. However im somewhat depressed bc I been struggling to find a good job. I have 2 friends.. One is older and married, skate/beers once a week, and he's likely moving somewhere else in near future. The other doesnt care about anything but skating, and is pretty transactional. Says hes down to skate whatever, but in reality just wants to go places that are convenient for him, and basically just buys me a burrito and then expects me to give him rides when we aint even in the same area. Neither of us have hit each other up in weeks.

It seems like a lot of successful people around this part and I'm not one of them. I just love hiking in the mountains, amazing weather, and skatespots, but thats pretty much it. Dont really have anything going for me, its like a vacation ive overstayed, and like groundhog day. But thinking to move back to Chicago. Parents are there and getting older and lifes just easier there. Also my brother lives in Austin, I've never been but I'm visiting next week.

At this point I think I just quit apply for jobs here, and focus on Chicago or possibly Austin
Had a gig job since Sept and used to make me decent money, quickly turned unreliable, and basically unemployed getting like $400 from unemployment. I dont want to live here and work a BS job a 18 year old or anybody with a pulse could get. Even with a degree a well paying white collar job is hard to get. Im just tired and sort of stopped trying, worried I'm going to be underemployed forever. If thats the case I think I'd be happiest having some whatever remote job getting American minimum wage and live in Bulgaria where I was born, have some family. I'd have a currency exchange advantage, and travel around to other places in and spend time in south east asia and the such.

Lost optimism awhile ago. Tired of everything

What’s your field of business?
Have you tried networking here on SLAP for your industry?
What’s your timeline for exit?
Are you completely over the idea of living here or would consider staying if you found a decent job?
If I can be of any assistance (apparel industry), I’d gladly do so...

Ok, so maybe this doesn’t count as a real confession, but...
I pretty much always do some kind of cut-up job on my grip. No biggie, I know. Lots of people like to take a razor to their grip.
But here’s where the confess comes in.
I spend an inordinate amount of time making it look like I didn’t give a shit about how my grip tape turned out, but that action is actually very carefully considered & there’s honestly no way for me to keep pretending that I’m not just trying to remake some facsimile of what Neil Blender, Lance Mountain, or Jeff Phillips did nearly 40 years ago & still keep my head held high.
I’m glad I could get that off of my chesticles in a private/public forum.
I am a farce. At least as far as grip goes.
Ashamed but still alive.
Humbly yours,

that’s fine, I’ve gone through stages of doing the same, I think I even ended up telling said person which was a real life “real confessions”

[matty_c]

Holy shit that’s hectic as, how’d that convo go down?
Do you still speak to them or nah

Are you guys geeing me up or what haha

[Grind King Rims]

I don't know what that means Matty, but yes, I think we are geeing you up.

Nothing wrong at all with jacking off to the idea of someone you know in real life. What is wrong is that I still catch myself thinking about people I had sex with when I was like 20 and thinking "Heh, I'd love to go back and have sex with them with what I know now! I would have blown her mind..."

If anything, it's impressive to be able to do it without porn or visual stimulation. It's not impossible for me but it is a challenge.

nah mate, I picked my timing well and she was kinda down for the fact, it actually lead to a few things down the road. I'm still able to speak to her, but I'm a married man these days so not really a path I want to pursue ...

I’ve admitted it before, but not until after we’d hooked up and I was pretty drunk and probably trying to get laid again.

Never had it turn out bad, but with the exception of my now wife, I’ve don’t talk to anyone I’ve told it too.

Also, getting to beat cheeks on the regular to someone you’ve mixed a batch too is pretty sweet.

[Sila]

Ahh can we get some stories where this hasn't worked out? It's egging me on to tell my buddy. To cut the story short I already slept with her a few times years ago and we're still good friends but i've always wanted to go there again. I got the vibe she was keen again too but even though we're somewhat non monogamous we were both with partners for a long time and playing it safe I guess. Being cheeky is fun but fuck i'd rather not make things awkward ha.

[Grind King Rims]

Well I definitely wouldn't go straight for, "I think about you when I pull myself". It'd be better to say something like, "I still think about when we got together before, that was a lot of fun."

[matty_c]

Yeah nah nah I mean I’m not gonna lie about it but I don’t think I ever told them but that would be going back to school times, idk I just smash like the same pornos and occasionally new ones
Sometimes on drugs I would go down a rabbit hole of those thumbnail gifs, I tried to analyse that shit before and I don’t even know was it just like the idea of a good wank I was getting off on who the fuck knows
Just drugs man lmao

Fuck man I’ve had like four screens going before just crook as Joey Diaz type shit

Yeah for sure you’d have to be there case by case basis type shit for sure but yeah you wouldn’t wanna stuff it up ahaha people might talk

I guess I am just trying to say I’m not in the position to judge a fellow pervert

I don’t wank like that anymore ay it was a bad period that’s all
