I havent had sex in over a year 
I want to fuck so badly but I don't like the prospect of hooking up with a random girl and i don't want to feel like a scum bag and take advantage of a girl that likes me like in a relationshippy way. Emotions are difficult. I want vagina.
I also hate people that hate the Beatles. Soulless bastards.

Only half joking
I want to get rid of a "friend" and I feel guilty. Ever since my granny passed is started to realise that I want to keep the negativity at a minimum in my life. It's in my nature to have a negative outlook on life. I've had a rough childhood which is probably the cause of my negativity.
So I've got this friend, he's pushy, he's clingy and every time we meet he smokes my weed, drinks my beer with rarely returning the favour. He's unemployed and sits around on his ass all day, doing nothing. So I get spammed by messages to meet up and chill out/get some beers/smoke some pot. I'm fine with that, but I have a full time job, I'm preparing my first radio show, and I'm practicing my driving lessons. I've got very little time, but this dude does not seem to respect that. He believes I'm making excuses not to see him. He accuses me of excluding him, but every time I go out with some other friends I invite him too, but he doesn't show up. That's not a problem, if it weren't for his double standards.
He's also a real debbie downer to be around. We talk for 15 minutes, and then he just turns to silence.
I feel like he is a psychic vampire, sucking the energy out of everybody around him. Previous friends of him have warned me this would happen, so I want to cut him loose, yet I feel guilty! He's not a bad guy, and doesn't realise he's clingy. He's a source of negative energy, and frustration. I feel he doesn't respect me. In the 2 years since I've met him, I have had more arguements with him than with friends I've know for over 15 years.
One important thing: he has been depressed in the past.

Man he IS a bad guy if he tells you you're making excuses to not hang, then eating/drinking/smoking your shit. Previous friends warned you, time to take that advice and drop it like a bag in a trash can.

The first one is wholly dedicated to the metaphor that the machines represent "the man" which feeds himself of people's reliance on the world he has created for them (think capitalism having designed a world that feeds those at the top by forcing everyone below them to use their system), whereas the other two have a ton of somewhat unrelated themes, like the importance of the self, the abandoning of grievances in favor of necessary coexistence, human nature, etc.

Calm yo self mayor!
There is one other fact I forgot to mention. He's been in a depression several times. I just don't want him to go down that road again.
EDIT: Edited this into my original post.

I have a hard time making friends with the people at work.
They seem more interested talking about me than talking to me
I was trying to talk to one person outside work online, but then they were telling the contents of our conversation to at least one other person. It's not like it was anything super personal or confidential or anything, but it still really annoys me you know? If I wanted that person to know those things I would've said it to them myself. Why do you feel the need to report the things I say to others... Everybody there is like that...
Oh well, guess I will just give up.

Every time I am asked what I'm doing in school and I say I'm about to graduate med school, I get one of two responses:
1. Oh you're gonna be rich!!!!
2. Oh good you can give me drugs/plastic surgery/make me thin.
It's so annoying. No, I won't be rich. I'll be paying back almost half a million dollars in loans and interest for quite a long time. And HELL no, I'm not writing you scripts for random drugs, and I'm not gonna be a surgeon.
I realize most folks are just joking, but it gets really tired after a while.

How can the price of a bacon, egg, and cheese fluctuate so wildly over such a small area?!
God bless him. He's a troubled soul. I don't have time for people like that in my life because there's really no fixing them. They just suck :/
The best thing that can happen is he reads this post, has a surge of self-realization, then he starts taking the steps in his life to turn it around. Stop smoking, stop self-pitying, start working out etc.
Gathering that you're preparing for your driving lessons I'd guess you guys are still young so he still has plenty of hope.
Also the getting stoned, talking for 15 min, then dead silence is completely normal for some people haha (like me)... People like that (like me) should just know it's unsettling and should stop smoking socially haha

Still man, it's uncool of him to make you feel bad for not having time to hang. Depression is a bitch and yeah, it's awesome to do what you can, but you have to think about yourself too. Really unfair for him to use you, if you want to think about it like that.

I'm trying to write this essay and it's going so shitty I can't believe it. The prompt is so vague, yet so specific and I don't know how to write for it. I've never had this much trouble writing before. I stayed up all night trying to think of ideas, but couldn't think of any evidence for them. Now I'm tired and kind of upset. I don't want to fail this essay. I know it's the beginning of the semester and I'm a first year at university, but... still.
It's due in 2 hours. It's only 2 pages. If I can just get an idea that works I'd be fine.

Yeah, I appreciate that. I've been running much more lately and it has been a good outlet. I've been doing my best to use this as a good excuse to reinvent myself in a number of ways. I've found that without her there to distract me I've been way more productive with school, work and creativity in general.
Getting rid of everything in the house that reminded me of her also helped.
Yes, he's a troubled soul. He tried to get better in the past, but he has zero perseverance whatsoever. He has sought out professional help, and he spent a month in a psychiatric institution. He was doing so much better, seemed like a different person even, but he quit because a girl over there caught his eye and "he couldn't handle it anymore".It's actually quite embarassing. He lives 5 minutes from my place and when he forgets his cigarettes at home he calls his mom to bring em over to me AND SHE DOES IT! I know he's depressed but that shoudln't be an excuse, right?
He never had to work to get the things he wants, 'cause he always got them thrown in his lap. He always got his way, because other people didn't dare to speak up because of his mental illness or out of pity. That's also how we became "friends".
The silence happens every time, EXCEPT when we smoke or drink, btw.
He's 25 and I'm almost 27.
Yeah, that's what I started to realise since my grandmother died. I need to think of myself too. I can't keep up with this. It affects me in several negative ways.
EDIT: Thanks guys for the advice. I'll best take this to the mental health thread.

It's shitty of me to say, but sometimes depression is contagious, and it's almost always clingy. Good luck man.
He's 25?! Game over. I know exactly the type of oerson he is. It's sucks but like... You can't exhaust yourself
I hate my job. I feel like in my current role that I am just waiting my time away doing this which really isn't much. Have about 2 - 3 hours work in total to do becasue their is not enoght work. Each morning I wake up and have to fight with myself to go in or not.
Up untill an hour ago I was planning in going home today and writing my resignation and handing it in tomorrow. My team leader told me that I should ask to move over to the 1st line technical team and this is what made me change my mind they are looking to bring more people in so will ask for this at some point this week. ( he dosnt know that I want to leave)
Going to try and give it will after new year here and if I still feel the same way I will leave even if I don't have another job lined up.

This has crossed my mind as well. I've been really close to a depression this past year. At the beginning of august My granny passed, and my life got busier. I wasn't able to see this friend as much during those days. Incidentally, I started feeling WAY better during that time.
I made a thread about my favorite TED Talk and no one responded.
Also I woke up today with my throat hurting like a bitch. :'(
I call bullshit. There is no way anyone out there doesn't enjoy at least one Beatles song.
What TED talks?? I'll watch it! I love TED Talks! Here's my fav: http://youtu.be/iG9CE55wbtY

At that age, it's developed into an expectation. Wait until the real world hits...that'll be a big 'un.
Almost like how when someone loses weight they start to feel better. I've let old relationships just peter out throughout life because I don't have any time for that shit. Neither do you.

Its been a year since I broke up with my first and only girlfriend whom I loved.
Now no female gives me the time of the day.
I feel sad, ugly and lonely as Fuck.
Was in the same situation, dated my first girlfriend for two years until she left me for another man. For a very long time, I thought I would never love again. Don't worry. You'll meet a better woman, my friend.
It's only week 3 of my scho quarter and I already am having sleeping issues due to nervousness and anxiety. :/
I'm afraid I'm gonna fuck things up again.
Great username quote haha

1. I will happily second that motion that Beatles haters are
horrible human beings.
2. I will instantly lose a considerable amount of respect for anyone who slobbers on and on about that unfortunate string of painfully derivative zombie apocalypse cliches and average gameplay bits that is The Last of Us (although I will admit the voice acting is excellent and that I did like the crafting system.)
3. Some of my best friends are heavy smokers and will smoke every chance they get even if it means smoking in the same room or car I'm in. Sometimes I wish I could find better friends to hang out with so I can ditch them for good.

Yeah, I feel sorry for him but you are absolutely right!
Thanks Omegasquash and Who for the encouraging words!
Exact same situation then, thanks man.
Also, as a Yu Gi Oh player, I hate purists that say playing with new mechanics is "cheating"

I would offer advice but your second point makes me believe i'm not human enough for you to consider my advice worthy of consideration.
Anyway, i don't have alcohol in the house -_- just shitty whine and this weird 4% smirnoff thing. Can't even drown my sorrows.

I'm pretty content to be a smoker, it's my decision, and I'm getting really tired of non-smokers bitching at me for that decision. More to the point, in Australia, cigarettes are $25 a packet now, everywhere is becoming non-smoking, including my university campus and basically every fucking train platform these days. How are train platforms classified as in doors? They are actually the fucking opposite.
I get it, people don't want second hand smoke, I totally appreciate that. That is why I smoke nowhere near people who don't want it near them, and if I'm smoking on the street I try hard to keep it away from people - especially children.
I think I'd be more cool with it if there were pictures of diseased livers plastered all over beer and scotch bottles, but for some reason that ain't the case. Get tired of being told smoking is bad for me by a bunch of people who binge drink themselves half to death every weekend when I don't touch alcohol or drugs anymore.
Truth be told I'm not that upset about it, since smoking is fucking stupid. Just needed to get some pent up annoyance out there. Fact is, smoking should be (and hopefully will be) outlawed in the not-to-distant future, but for now, at least give me a designated smoking area so I can kill myself in peace.

I got in a relationship a week ago and everything has been going perfectly. However, I looked at my ex-girlfriends instagram (really dumb I know) and saw that she's dating some dude I know. I got pretty pissed about it but I let it slide. It's still bugging me though. The thing that kills me is he uses the same nickname for her that I did. Oh well. It ended for a reason.

Hehe go for it. Most the points in my post are tongue in cheek (except the TLOU one, maybe.) I wouldn't actually stop talking or hanging out with them completely, or consider them "lesser" friends.
Recently divorced. She was mean and abusive to me, my folks, friends, etc, and I left. Yet, I still have dreams of her and me during the good times, and it makes me sad. Also, while I am now seeing someone, I'm sure she is too. I also have dreams of running into her with someone new and its almost as bad as a nightmare.
