As somebody who knows nothing about dogs, is he okay?
He's a Chihuahua. He doesn't technically want to go pee. He just wants to go sniff everything.
Edit: But he drives me crazy with whining and all until I give him and take him out.
Huh, you don't seem the chihuahua type, whatever that means. Sounds like you should muzzle him.
I'd rather have a Corgi or a Pug, but he's my baby.
And he needs to be muzzled. He's super mean to people he doesn't know.
I was mostly joking about the muzzle.
You should post photos!Chihuahuas bark and whimper a lot don't they?
Do you have a backyard or something where he can run around? Or Chihuahuas need to be walked around constantly?
He barks a lot, but he isn't a shaker or a whimper-er. He's really tough. And I live in an apartment, so he's stuck in here a lot.

When your driving I guess the window can't be down all the way because he is small right?
He isn't one to poke his head out the window, really. He just sits there and roams around the front seat.
It's his walking harness. He looks naked without it on, so I always leave it on him.
He's adorable all the same. As somebody who's pet averse, I'm giving you a large thumbs up.
He keeps me a lot of company... I'm pretty lonely, so having him here is a good... Plus, he's a decent snuggle buddy as long as I don't wiggle too much.

Baby steps in terms of responsibility. Start with a potted plant, work your way up (fish, hamster,..) over the next few years.
I take of both plants and a dog... I dog fares better than my plants...

Yeah, but if you're not capable of taking care of either, a plant drying out isn't the tragedy a starving dog is, so I think a potted plant can be a good start into taking responsibility for something. If it dies, start with a new one.
Worked for me, at least. In my teenage years, I killed off a ton of plants due to neglect, and now I have almost a dozen potted plants and all are doing well.
That nice.
Being a good cook is important and shows a level of responsibility. Taking care of myself, not doing a good job of that though is also important. Maybe I will work up to a pet down the line.
I know what you're saying, but im not capable of affection so its a waste of both of our time
This dude let a girl like that go?
I see what your saying, for me I know there are more important social issues that would have to fix first but if the opportunity there why not.

That dog is adorable.
He has plenty of fur, but I just never take the harness off of him, so when I do, he doesn't look right.
Are you a sociopath in a way? Were you always like this?
I guess so
I know these feels whenever I meet a girl I like I just push her away
You don't want me I'm already dead

Seems reasonable. Still kinda sad, but if you feel nothing, you won't be able to change that - for now at least.
Most of all, I'm insanely jealous that you even found a girl. I honestly can't imagine ever finding a girl who looks past my depression, let alone my social anxiety.
I can get like that sometimes, really cold about dating and stuff but I also feel that there are more pressing matters to resolve as well. I didn't think he was writing off intimacy/dating and whatnot.
I assume your joking.
there isnt anything to be jealous of here
Well if that's true then I'm sorry. Does treatment even exist for such a state? How young were you diagnosed?
lol @ diagnosed
they just boiled it down to depression
though to be fair, im never too honest with doctors and psychiatrists

Depends on how you look at it.
As a whole, obviously no.
The particular fact that you found a girl willing to look past your problems, yeah, I envy that.
As for me, I honestly don't know where I am at right now. Too much contradicting stuff is going on in my head. Part of me wants to fight for a better future, part of me wants to curl up and die.
Part of me is curious what technological and scientific marvels the future holds in store, the other part doesn't care and just wants the numbing pain to end.
Anything in my future basically boils down to luck: I'm smart enough to get a good job if I meet the right people and say the right things by chance, but if don't, I may very well be unemployed in 3 years time.
I'm be funny and good looking enough that a girl might fall for me - but only if we somehow get over the initial awkwardness through some luck. If we don't, there's an excellent chance I might die alone and a virgin.
The feeling of being at mercy of total randomness really sucks. Especially because luck hasn't been kind to me in the past - apart from one or two academic achievements, I've never felt that I got lucky.
That is a cute pet, wish I could have one, although my household is allergic to pet hairs, would really love a cat.

I don't understand. You're always saying stuff like this. Why would you lie to psychiatrists? What benefit would it have at all.
Would anyone recommend seeing a counselor from their university? From the looks of it they only deal with problems that relate to the course and some social/mental issues.
I'm just really unsure what to do with my life and failing this course isn't leaving me with much options. I wish I was a undergrad again :|

I wish I lived in the states, I'd find some of you and force ya'll to spend the christmas holidays with me
But I'm trillions of miles away.
Curious, which country?
Christmas is the best because all the family members I like are in the city for the week.
Sweden.
Family politics sucks but I just usually avoid the instigators and I am fine.
I kinda hate family get togethers... I don't share that family bond my other family members have, I generally get asked how I'm doing and if I've got a career yet :| I make up some excuse and they just nod and walk off. I remember pretending to be ill and stayed in bed when the whole family came over last time.
it just feels... off... when the family gathers for Christmas. In a way, I feel estranged from my family. I'm a part of it, but don't feel much of it. They were never really there for me when I was growing up or needed them. I had a few people here and there help, but I never made a really close bond with anyone except my grandmother and one of my aunts, and both of those have faded...

Ehh, who cares about family really? I've never cared about my extended family and it took me until I was older to realize they were mostly pretentious and boring. Wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're forced into a get together, just avoid it and play videogames. Unless you can't, in which case I empathize.

Man, in a twisted way, I kinda appreciate that my family is full of dysfunctional *fine gentlemen and ladies*, because that means I won't have to see most of them for christmas.
I haven't seen around most of my uncles, aunts and cousins for around four years.
The ones I'll see for christmas I like anyway, so no problem there.
Well, except for the fact that I'll once again have to pretend that everything is great in my life because it's easier that way. People wouldn't understand anyway.

Bingo. I don't feel comfortable at all talking to the people in my family about my depression. "Yeah. I'm totally depressed. Having man problems that stem from my abandonment and lack of affection as a child. Care to discuss?"
