So I've had low self esteem for the last few months or so. It seems like the only time I can be fun and confident is when I'm in the atmosphere of knowing what I'm doing, and that is in the chemistry lab (this is in a university/academic setting). She's seen and graded my work, so she knows what I'm capable of. We've b...	Is it weird to ask out your teaching assistant (as a student of the class)? Could it even work?

Sophomore year of college my best friend's roomate turned out to be the single most homophobic person I have ever met in my life.

Okay, I will try to make this as short as possible. I have been with my boyfriend for a year now and I couldn't be happier with our relationship.

Hi reddit. Could you help me in determining if i'm being an egoist in this situation?

The honest advice is that there is no easy way to break this cycle. You just have to suck it up for a couple weeks and just go work out - no matter how tired you may be. Exercise (properly) every couple days for two weeks and then take stock. Although it may not seem like it when you're breathless and sweating balls, i...	How do you break this cycle?

First of all, I'm not talking about "creative visualization" but I suppose it could be related.

For example I close my eyes and visualize ...	When you close your eyes and daydream, is it as vivid as watching TV? And does anyone know how I can make my mental imagery more vivid?
during a very nasty and selfish part of my life, i took two of three tabs of potent LSD (of which i was supposed to save to do WITH my then-girlfriend the next day) out of boredom and hedonism. i had gone home from school early to do so, as to have the house to myself. i take one tab, hoping i can be satisfied off that...

Hey, so there's this guy that I work with who is very quiet and somewhat shy. He's very inexperienced with girls, and as far as I know has never had a girlfriend or been to a dance in his life.

Over the election there was a lot of talk regarding how we can't trust electronic/computerized/internet voting. As a tech-major I find this talk ridiculous, but can't support my argument.

I like to think that my parents raised my twin brother and I quite well. They had a unique approach that basically came down to teaching us respect by being our friends.

Here is the chat: me: hey - i havent spoken to you in ages her: omg literally think it may have been years...	Today I talked to a girl who I haven't talked to in years, but was getting one worded replies. Do I bother taking any further steps?
Hello everyone! I am a rising junior in college and worked as an intern last summer at the same company that I'm interning at now. We are offered the option of contributing to the company 401k that has 4% matching for each 1% we put in, up to 2% (so 8% total). I'm contributing 12%, and I have a well-established emergen...	Traditional 401k has lower expense ratios than Roth IRA. Current income ~$30-35k. Future income ~$100-110k. Should I rollover to Roth IRA for tax benefits? I only have about $1300 in account as of 6/14/16.
The graphic design studio I'm interning for was working with a company that does direct mailing. We were redoing their whole brand identity; so everything was new-- company name, logo, colors, print material, website, the entire look. They decided to STOP ALL PRODUCTION/WORK and wait for us to finish our designs before...	Studio works with company, company stops production for 10+ weeks to wait on design, yells obscenities at studio, but then comes back when they realize they can't get design work for $75 on Craigslist.
So this lady I work with named Seva is hella Greek. She speaks English with a heavy accent and a lot of the time if I say a word with more than two syllables she will look at me like I'm crazy and say "Whass dees means?" Friday she was looking at her pay stub and kept asking me what does PTO mean. I thought she meant t...	called a Greek dyslexic thinking she wouldn't understand. Turns out it's a Greek word. Seva and I are very close and she was not offended by what I said. We go back and forth like that at least twice a day but it's all love.
I have been casually dating someone for ~6 months or so. I say it is casual because we've never been exclusive or labelled it, but I have completely fallen head over heels for him. He has been diagnosed as bi-polar and borderline, long ago. He is on medication. I don't know if he does any therapy now but I believe he h...	It's basically that Katy Perry song; he's hot then he's cold. Should I be patient because he's mentally ill, or write him off ? I'm mega lovesick.
I blame my cousin for it, as it happened at my 92 year old Maternal Grandmother's funeral. The story goes like this: My Grandmother recently (as in May) passed away. She suffered for almost 11 months before giving in to her illness, thankfully, in her sleep. I'm not a crier, and never have been, really. I'm not trying ...	Hadn't cried over anything in a long, long time. Thought something was emotionally wrong with me. Grandma's funeral solved this problem in a huge finish with 6 "burly" male cousins balling like small children in a movie-like collapse of stoic resolve.
I got divorced a few months back from a 6 year marriage. We never spent any time together and I didn't want to be in that type of relationship. Since my divorce I've been on a few dates but not with anyone that I felt a connection with. All of them ended up as just a fun night out with a friend. Then I went out with "r...	I have no clue how to date, no clue whats normal, and if my expectations are too high I want reddit to shove me back to reality.
Does anyone else here feel the, to quote Robert Downey Jr., "sinister undertones" of SOPA and PIPA? I feel like this is shadowy oppression of younger generations by older ones who don't want to lose the power they've gained. Surely, when something you crave is being threatened by a growing force, you want to disarm the...	Perhaps you believe as I do, that they are trying to start silencing us while they still can. Pardon any grammatical errors. I also appreciate people pointing out logical fallacies.
The "Five Factor Model" of personality identification, which includes a measure of extroversion, has been proposed for the last few decades in psychology circles. But, I think the agreement in the field is that introversion itself is not necessarily a prima facie disorder. In fact, a number of applied diagnostic tools ...	Introversion is not a disorder, it's one facet of a complex personality description. Google MBTI for a fun, possibly pseudo-scientific (some take it more serious than others) application of this concept.
My girlfriend and I are "high school sweethearts" and have been together for going on 7 years. During that time I've graduated college and have a relatively high-paying career in a fairly senior position in my company, while she still has several years of study ahead. We've lived together for over 5 years now. A few ye...	Got into serious long term relationship fairly young, feel like I'm missing out on life, want to travel, have new experiences, etc, but have to support partner and deal with social pressures.
She's got a boyfriend". Don't even go there, even if she's on her way out, getting out of a relationship takes time and people need to heal up before they can move on. Jumping from one relationship to the next only means suffering and pain, a lot of it actually. I personally would consider it a very bad move to attempt...	Don't make a move on her and don't wait on her. If she breaks up with her boyfriend and is still interested in you after a while, she'll come around and things will happen, but don't count on it.
I once saw a series of pictures of a couple having sex on a motorcycle.

Plus side, I learned a lot about George Patton.
I know this isn't quite in the spirit of the OP's request, but here is an example of how I was probably a shitty roommate.

Over the course of the year I pulled a bunch of pranks on him (hid pennies in all of his stuff, changed his computer b...	My sophomore year of college I pulled a number of childish, yet easily reversible, pranks on my roommate that likely qualify me as a horrible person.
Ok so in my chemistry class, our class teacher's assistant lurkes in /r/askreddit and I don't know how to make myself known to him.

Oh god my sophomore year my roommate was a ghost. The first time I met him was on move in day.

My roommate left within a week without meeting anyone in the dorm thus my friends joke that I am John Nash in A Beautiful Mind.
I think I've always had quite an insecure personality because of highly critical Asian parents, and being a huge academic and nerd when I was little meant not really focussing on my looks hence was a bit of a wallflower till I graduated etc. I have been lucky enough to be blessed with good genetics and I live a healthy...	I am more insecure about my adequacy and attractiveness as a person more in a relationship than when I was single. Is this normal? Aren't you supposed to be feel loved and special in a relationship? Am I just really insecure?
I don't even know where to start. I will try to make this as brief and to the point as possible. Basically, I wrote this essay for my sophomore english in college about the social impact of lyrics on our society. Within the essay, I quoted Martin Luther King Jr., Immanuel Kant, and Albert Einstein. I also put lyrics fr...	Turned in essay, gave credit to originator of quotes and lyrics within the text, but did not have it within my works cited page, now being accused of plagiarism and receiving a failing grade in my English course.

What you are doing is taking her argument (I am fat and overweight) at face value and using logical arguments to convince your friend that she is incorrect. A perfectly logical response, but a very male one. You should keep doing it, but understand that it alone may not be enough, because it doesn't address the underly...	Or, put differently- her weight issues are a symptom, not a cause. Your efforts to treat her weight issues are failing because they are not treating the underlying cause. //edit: to whoever downvoted me, I'm honestly curious why?
Sam is a best friend of mine. We have a long and winding history, but came of age together and saw each other through ups, downs, petty crime, family drama, deaths, love, betrayal, etc. I know Sam better than anyone, and because of this I know how he has struggled his whole life with depression.

We went to a Catholic girls school. Our 20 year reunion is next weekend. I created a "Class of 1996" facebook group a few years ago and most of our class (about 60 girls) are on it. We organised to all meet up next weekend at a pub for a 20 year reunion. One of the girls added me as a friend about a year ago and until ...

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend since November of last year and so far things have been going okay.

I'm going to be travelling Eastern Europe with a mate around the beginning of September time. We're flying into Berlin then taking it from there. What would be the cheapest way to travel from Berlin? Would it be a good shout to buy a 5 in 10 interail pass or buy train tickets as we go from each station?	Interail ticket or buy from the station on the day? I should say we're looking to go Prague, Budapest and Krakow and anywhere else people recommend. We're not sure how long we will want to stay in each place.
This weekend, I went to the After Party for my school Formal. It was pretty late by my standards, starting at 12am, and finishing at 3.
