>Any plans for today?
I didn't get to scrap my copper haul for cash yet.
But I went back to pushing through homework.
>Is there anything bothering you right now?
I'm really trying to hype myself to ask my coworker on a date. I don't know if it'll work, but the closer i get to leaving this job, the more I want to try this.

I've done nothing all day.

>>81555573 (OP)
hey cat how are you?

>>81555894
hi cynic
>scrap my copper haul for cash yet.
that's annoying, hopefully you get plenty of money from it
>pushing through homework.
good luck.
>closer i get to leaving this job, the more I want to try this.
makes sense, hope it goes well and definitely best time to ask right before you leave.

finally :>

>Hei
hey, catbro! just stopping by before my departure. how's it going? are you ready for the weekend?

>>81555894
hi cynic!

>I didn't get to scrap my copper haul for cash yet.
how much will you get for it?

>went back to pushing through homework.
your dedication is admirable o7

>I'm really trying to hype myself to ask my coworker on a date. I don't know if it'll work, but the closer i get to leaving this job, the more I want to try this.
sure. why not? if you'll leave anyway, there's no reason not to. best of luck, fren. :>

>>81556104
>I've done nothing all day.
wanna do some stretches, then? i wasn't going to do them, but since i'll be stuck in a car for 10 or more hours i thought maybe i should. ^^'

>>81555573 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
Physically, good. Mentally, a fucking mess. Thank you for asking.

>Any plans for today?
Already evening for me. I started my workout routine and diet again today, so that's a positive at least.

>When was the last time you hurt yourself?
I didn't try it, yet

>Why did you hurt yourself?
Why do I get the urge to do it? Why do I hate myself? This doesn't make any sense. I don't understand myself. I don't see the reason in doing it, but why do I have the urge??

>Is there anything bothering you right now?
I feel so empty. Why does nothing I do feel like it matters? Nothing brings me any kind of joy anymore. "Good" and "Bad" things that happen to, neither make me feel anything at all. My life feels so pointless and I don't know what to do. I don't have any friends but I'm also too scared to open up to people. What the fuck is wrong with me?

>>81556104
hi gator
>I've done nothing all day.
that's ok, at least you could chill.
>that's annoying, hopefully you get plenty of money from it
It's one motor that's gonna be a project.
>hope it goes well and definitely best time to ask right before you leave.
I hope I can recover if she says no.
>>81556372
hi yu
>how much will you get for it?
no idea. Probably a few hundred.
>your dedication is admirable o7
>best of luck, fren. :>
thankyou. I'm going to be filling my head with red pill bs in the hopes I go through with it.
>>81556612
hi anon
>I didn't try it, yet
well, that's a good thing!
>I started my workout routine and diet again today, so that's a positive at least.
great work anon
>Nothing brings me any kind of joy anymore.
I know it's hard to see this right now, but it might not be forever.
>My life feels so pointless and I don't know what to do.
That's a tough one. I personally don't think of life as having a point. It's more like a song. There is no end point to music, just a personal melody that shares a reflection of the current culture and time.

>>81555894
Hello
>didn't get to scrap my copper
copper??
>my coworker on a date.
yeah if you're about to leave then if you don't do it you're going to be mad at yourself in the future

>>81556104
Hey ali
>done nothing
it is what it is
>how are you?
I went on a bike ride today, it was pretty fun

>>81556372
Hey

>how's it going? are you ready for the weekend?
today I went on a bikeride and now I'm home chilling
How was your day?

>>81556900
Just having someone to acknowledge my existence made me feel so much better. Thank youu.

Have a good night all of you.

>>81556372
>wanna do some stretches, then?
sorry I couldn't make it :(
>stuck in a car for 10 or more hours
oh yea that really doesn't sound nice at all, I hope if you did the stretches they were nice. and sorry.

>>81556900
>at least you could chill.
I suppose so.
>motor that's gonna be a project.
oh well hope it goes well and stuff.
>recover if she says no.
yea, I guess maybe try to plan just in case. I doubt she will tho your a very cool and nice person ^^

>>81556997
>it is what it is
true.
>went on a bike ride today, it was pretty fun
that's awesome! does sound fun. see any cute cats?

>>81556612
Hello anon
>Already evening for me.
hope you can rest well :]
>I started my workout routine and diet
good job, are you trying to lose weight or just staying healthy?
>didn't try it, yet
that's good, you shouldn't try
>don't understand myself
it sounds complicated, have you ever their something like therapy?

>>81556612
>Mentally, a fucking mess
sorry to hear that :/

>I started my workout routine and diet again today, so that's a positive at least.
nice. :> what's your routine?

>I didn't try it, yet
probably for the best. hope you can stay away from it. your always welcome here, though.

>Why do I get the urge to do it?
seems hardcoded into animals that are under constant stress. maybe to release some dopamine or something like that. is there a lot of stress in your life?

>Why does nothing I do feel like it matters? Nothing brings me any kind of joy anymore.
i feel like that a lot as well. might be depression. did you ever have a vitami. screening? deficiencies in that regard can be the reason for mental issues to spiral out of control.

>>81556900
>Probably a few hundred.
wouldn't say no to that ^^

>I'm going to be filling my head with red pill bs in the hopes I go through with it.
hope it helps. in the end all you can do is try and maybe she'll give you a chance. if not, than she just didn't see you in that way, just as you don't see a lot of people that way, either. though you asking might put you on her radar.

>>81556997
>have a great timeee!!
thank you and will do, but i'll miss you guys.

>today I went on a bikeride and now I'm home chilling
proper start to a great weekend

>How was your day?
pretty good. work was alright, had some nice indian food and also did my stretches even though i wasn't planning on it. now i'm just watching some stream until it's time to head out. how was your ride?

>>81557027
>Have a good night all of you.
you too, anon. i'll be on vacation for three weeks, but i hope to see you around so we can talk some more when i'm back (or stop by while on my trip). sleep tight!

>>81557136
>sorry I couldn't make it :(
all good. meowster kept me company. hope you two can keep it up while i'm gone. i'm counting on you!

>I hope if you did the stretches they were nice. and sorry.
we did and they were. no worries. ;D

>>81555573 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
Better than yesterday, but my head hurts
>Any plans for today?
No. Will probably be stuck inside all weekend because of the bruises on my face/head.. Had to skip a work social/morale thing today too.
>When was the last time you hurt yourself?
Yesterday
>Why did you hurt yourself?
Angry at myself
>Is there anything bothering you right now?
Same shit, not as bad today though

>>81557208
>Better than yesterday, but my head hurts
glad to hear that, but please be careful when it comes to repeated head injuries. those can have really nasty long term detriments.

>Will probably be stuck inside all weekend
do you at least have anything to distract yourself? any games or maybe a show you wanted to watch?

>Had to skip a work social/morale thing today too.
stuff like that always demoralizes me... ^^'

>Angry at myself
what for?

>not as bad today though
some progress at least

I'm feeling berry tired
I'll go sleep early tonight
goodnight fens see ya tomorrow

>>81557136

>>81557207
>did my stretches even

>>81557207
>meowster kept me company.

>you two can keep it up while i'm gone.

>>81557027

>someone to acknowledge my existence
Yeah, it makes a difference. Just be careful. I got addicted to the attention once and used it until I was betrayed.
>>81556997
>copper??
Atomic number 29
If you do a maintence job, you can take old parts home and sell them for quick cash.
>you're going to be mad at yourself in the future
probably. I wasn't going to because I thought I might hurt her, but I decided my plan is worth it.
>I went on a bike ride today
sounds like a fun day!
>>81557488
goodnight cat
>>81557207
>though you asking might put you on her radar.
she might be taking a break for now, but I at least want to shot for a number.
>i'll miss you guys.
that okay, enjoy your trip!
>>81557533
