I have done improv for 11-12 years now and I have been featured in some pretty mainstream comedy videos online, I have done my own sketch show, and I have done my fair share of networking. I think I am ready to take my \"leap of faith\" and I feel like time is only working against me... \n\nMy problem is I have been raised to do one thing my whole life. I have learned that there is a \"right\" way to do everything and I have, for the most part, played by the rules. I went to high school, then college, then got a career and here I am. Financially I am fine. I am a 26 year old single man that owns his own house and car. I mean like anyone I have/had my problems but for the most part I have a good, logical head on my shoulders. (WHICH IS WHY THIS IS SO HARD!) :)\n\nAnother issue is my two brothers rent rooms from me and they are for lack of better words... dead beats. My mom cannot afford to house them and I do love the idiots. I have no idea how they would react if I essentially evicted them to just pursue something they would never understand and where I could potentially lose everything. \n\nSo, I have a few questions for you reddit... \n\nDo I leave it all behind? Has anyone here ever done it or something similar? Can anyone lend help, advice, a job in the industry? haha. I could really use any and all CONSTRUCTIVE advice/criticism on the matter because frankly I am not really close to anyone anymore that I can have these kind of conversations with. \n\nIf anyone wants more details about my mundane and lonely existence please don't hesitate to ask! :)", "role": "user" } ]

However, due to my location, this is hardly ever the case.\n\nI haven't seen or talked to any of my friends in a very very long time now. The only person I see regularly is my girlfriend. I have friends I talk to, but no actual close friends. I complain of feeling lonely, but if a friends asks to hang out, I feel almost sick just thinking about it. This leads my friends to think I'm being distant, or that I don't value their friendship. \n\nIt's just so awkward when it's me and 1 other friend alone. Nothing fun to do. Mostly quiet awkward talks. \n\nAny advice?...anything? Not sure what's wrong with me.\n\nThank you,\n-Heather", "role": "user" } ]

I'm already attached and not humanly in control enough of my emotions to not get more attached as time passes.

One thing that bothers me sometimes is that I have been purposefully vague about my past relationships and I don't know if I need to open up to him and tell him everything. We are both quiet, introverted people that don't necessarily share every minute detail, so it hasn't been a big deal. \n\nI was in an emotionally abusive relationship in the past, and had a couple of short-term relationships after that where I was still emotionally unstable. I did some things I am not proud of (breaking up by no contact with one guy, dated another controlling man and then kissed someone else so we would break up) when I was younger. However, I've matured and learned about healthy relationships. I've been in 1-2 healthy relationships before I met my current boyfriend. Most people who know me now don't know any of this, and I an genuinely happy and fulfilled in my personal and professional life. It's only when I sometimes think back to the past I sort of freeze up inside.\n\nI have tried to see a couple of therapists (one after I ended the abusive relationship, and one a few years after that). But both of them stopped seeing me after a few sessions because I seemed pretty well-adjusted and was capable of dealing with the issues. I got some good advice about accepting myself and having healthy habits (exercise, eating well, sleeping well, etc.) to cope, but otherwise nothing major. The message I took away was that the past is in the past and I should work on the here and now. \n\nMy question is, do I need to tell my current boyfriend the entire truth? He knows about the abusive relationship (not the details, just that I was in one) and that I was \"wild\" in my youth (but again, not specifically what). I am very happy in my current relationship, we are both supportive of each other, and this never comes up.

I then remade his bed to make it look as normal as I possibly could so he wouldn't suspect a thing.\n\nThen I waited with much eagerness to fulfill my revenge and around 2 hours later he arrived home and surely enough went straight to his room. As my room was next to his, I was being as quiet as possible so he didn't know I was home and so I could hear my work coming to life.\n\nThat's when the inevitable happened......all I heard is a scream followed by a WTF!! Turns out the force of him landing and the hard impact onto the \"hardened mattress\", he also smashed his head. It wasn't until I came in laughing my ass off with a shit-eating grin from my proud work that he had also realised that everything else in his room was upside down.

He listens to all basic commands and makes good eye contact most of the time. He is quite defensive of the yard and property. If someone comes to the door or a loud car drives by he barks and growls. He quickly quiets down when you ask him to. (Most of the time except when he is in the yard alone) He gets along very well with other dogs and people. If someone new is coming to the house he is standoffish at first but quickly is very friendly. (As long as I say its ok) He is well excercised for the most part.

I do alot of indoor training/play with him as well.\n\nThe other day my friends phone rang and he stood up about to answered it. At the same time my dog started growling and attacked him. He stopped after a few seconds (gave him sit commands etc) but was still very heated. My friend went in the other room for his phone call and it seemed like my dog wanted to follow him.

I went in today and shes sitting there drawing on some new guys hand and arm with a sharpie. i mean this guy is smiling from ear to ear while shes hunched over him just doodling... then she sees me and Says \"dont start\" and quickly gets between us and starts blocking me and walks me out towards the door. I leave angry and dont even let her explain a word. She then proceeds to call me 46 times in half hour. Am i wrong for being pissed off?", "role": "user" } ]

It started in university and since me and my girlfriend are both studying away from home, the relationship becomes long distance during summer and winter holidays. We tend to fight a lot more during this time, for example we haven't texted for two weeks.\n\nNow my best friend, I've known for around almost 6 years but haven't spent as many of those years with her due to studying abroad. However, when I come back home for summer break or winter break, we meet up and catch up. Everyone always told me that she's into Mr and said we should be a couple , friends family, but I never saw it and neither of us have ever brought up the topic with one another.\n\nLast winter break, I came home and my family went to meet my best friends family since they live in a different city. We ended up spending the night there and I hadn't seen her for two years at this point. That was the first time I felt something towards her. \n\nFast foward to today, my sister's wedding was yesterday and since my best friend is also sort of a family friend, we've been meeting up alot more then usual, and my feelings for her have escalated like crazy. However I'm heading back for university in 2 weeks and I want to tell her how I feel, but I'm still in a relationship even though we haven't texted in weeks. I can't bring myself to end it over texts, and I can't bring myself to tell my best friend how I feel while being in a relationship. Also, my family is moving this year, out of country so I may not see my best friend for another couple of years, and I'm afraid if I don't say anything now, that she'll find someone else thinking that I never liked her. I'd love some advice/guidance, literally anything would help..", "role": "user" } ]

Some of them are tipping on the edge of being overweight and some are obese. I'm the thinnest and most fit one in the group. I'm constantly out doing stuff, whether it be running and being active or making plans to go do active stuff, i.e. being outside. They never seem excited to do these sorts of things and would rather spend their nights inside, watching Netflix, drinking liquor/beer, or playing video games. It's really frustrating sometimes. They're a great group of people that I genuinely enjoy spending time with because they're good natured, funny, and we all support eachother when someone is going through a rough time. I just hate that they never want to be active and go to events/places like I do. It's always a fight for \"time\" and \"money\" and \"getting off work\", etc, etc - the list goes on. But I know that's it mostly bullshit because they are happy to plan an event where we get together at someone's house just to drink and have fun.\n\nI don't know what to do. I understand that I can meet more people who are into a similar lifestyle as mine (thank god my girlfriend is an active person), but I've known these guys for so long, I just wish I could motivate them into losing weight and being active - they have no idea what kind of life they're missing.", "role": "user" } ]

I am very scared that she has lost all interest in me. But i will go back to my hometown for voodoo fest, and jazzfest, and for the entire summer.

My GF and I met at school and are currently apart for the summer in a LDR. Physically, she is very affectionate and whenever we're together it feels like we're extremely close.

This is great and I love the dynamic because it's always fun and light hearted, but it only works when we have the physical affection to balance it out. She really has trouble expressing any affection verbally, so now that we're apart and continue our sarcastic dynamic, some issues have sprung up.

Ohio, and for those of you who don't know, foundry work is some of the dirtiest, nastiest, toughest work around. 10 hour days are the minimum around here, and guys routinely log 60+hours a week like it's no big deal. We've got one crew who averages 13.5, 6 days a week. If it's 90 degrees outside, it's 140 next to the metal.\n\nAnyway, it recently came to my attention that one of the guys around here is illiterate. Straight up, can't read or write. He rides his bicycle about 18 miles (one-way) to get to work if he can't find a ride. He's in his early 50's, prepares molds for finishing, and drinks a case of PBR every single night. That's ALL I know about this dude.\n\nSo I got to thinking: How the hell does he survive? So much of society today depends on basic reading and writing skills. I don't want to ask him because I think it'd be a phenomenally rude thing to do, and in my experience people that can't read or write get pretty defensive about it.\n\nI'm over the fact that he never picked up these skills earlier in life. Whether he's stupid/lazy, has a learning disability, or just had a set of circumstances that prevented him from getting this basic education. I've put that from my mind and am now just trying to wrap my head around how he operates in the world.\n\nHow do people like this sign a lease? Buy things in stores? Manage money? Navigate to a new place? \n\nNow, immigrants who don't speak English and mentally challenged people are a different case. Usually they've got a support network to fall back on, or someone to watch over them. As far as I know, this dude is on his own.\n\nSo Reddit, any insight, or anecdotes about people you know in the same situation?", "role": "user" } ]

In my pocket I had my wallet, phone, car keys and a small (3in) pocket knife with a bottle opener on the back.

Two more cops show up in like 30 seconds, one male and one female. The first cop has me stand up and put my hands behind my head and him and the other cop start patting me down. The female cop starts going through my backpack, and finds (surprise) 2 text books, a laptop and a notebook. At this point, my class starts in about 5 minutes, I tell them I gotta go to class and they tell me that they still need me. The first cop starts asking me a bunch of random questions about my family and where I went to high school.
