"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Hey all,

I dont want to get mopy so I'll try to keep this short enough to bear with me. I gave my GCE's this january and passed on all the subjects, currently studying for my A-levels and possibly a retake on two subs. I'm 18 ATM and it's been a long road till here. Orignally I was large globish nerd "prodigy" uptill about 12 when I was suposed to have given these tests. We swaped school in favor of a "coaching centre" (prep school?) and basically the newfound freedom got to my head. After a year or so of no progress I droped out. Still a grudging loner, almost did some prety harmfull things and a "regulated" social life(lack of a better word). We moved about 2 years ago and did some studying cuz the new place wasnt exactly the most opulant and had little else to do. Got a teacher and actually made progress. Came back went to a urinated hell hole of a centre with some wannabe OBL as the principle(my family is muslim too so no I'm not prejudiced), set of a few firecrackers(theyre semi-legal where I'm at) got expaled and fagots called the pigs on me, a long and irrelvant story short that got managed but the person who filed me as being a bomber is still out free.

We used to live in holland uptil I was 12, the new place was drastically diferent and I couldnt quite adjust. I've been a loner for a long time but made some of the worst friends imaginable at the second coaching centre. One of them gave what it took to nearly file terrorist case against me(I joked about a plan to blow up the ****holes septic tank). Like I said I got a "regulated" life so never had many friends or much more to do than stare at walls( rents wont shell out for a console or decent computer, or even my own TV).

But now I'm back in a coaching, passed HS and finally out. Dont leave HS

to be continued/edited.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Thanks for the support all! I'm not in the Us btw and thankfully enough in a muslim majority country. I didnt get to finish that but I'm outa steam on that one lol, this site really did change my life. Stoped slouching, got rid of my "pit bull" persona and learned the nouning trick so I can make some conversation. I'm currently doing A-level's (guess that's like college in the US system), only started math so far but it seems to be going prety good.

Everyone was prety sure I'd fail but managed to get some prety decent grades (hell even an A in english).Thanks SS!
