I’ve had a lot of different jobs - I’ve worked in restaurants, film/tv, warehouses, tech, the postal service, hospitals, conservation, education - the list goes on.

Lately I have been focused on software, which is what actually interests me, but sometimes I feel like I can’t even do that. Software is competitive and sometimes the feedback i get is not helpful

My parents think I just don’t have work ethic or something - that not the case at all. I’m completely disillusioned with work and money at this point. I still work - but when you don’t feel like you are doing a good job, the motivation just evaporates

I’m supposed to start a new job at a restaurant soon - I don’t really want to work in a restaurant. But software has been very random for me and I need a steady job - not these random contracts that come and go in software

I sometimes talk to people online, but that’s it. No family, no girlfriend. No pets. I’m in a lot of pain - that’s why I’m so scary and can’t make friends like normal people. It not fun

I like Denny’s. And then waffle house, ihop…..

I’m 32m. No girlfriend, just me.

I got really high today and I started thinking about my family - dad, brother, sister, and then I started thinking about my childhood friends - girls, friends I had as a kid.

I still want these people in my life. But I really don’t see how it’s going to work. Fuck. I’m very nihilistic

It’s weird.

I’m in school right now, and I’ve already built a few simple apps. Nothing fancy, all of them are really basic and perform a simple, useful task - such as measuring something. Nothing fancy.

So I have the apps built and I’m wondering if I should try to put them on the App Store. They aren’t revolutionary or anything, they are very simple, I’m just wondering if it’s a viable source of income

I’m American, live here in the US, but I’m thinking about taking an extended trip to Sri Lanka - is that legal? Are there legal steps I can take so I don’t get into trouble? I still want to work when I’m in Sri Lanka

When I was in my teens and early 20’s, I was in and out of jail. I’m fine now, in my 30’s and have kept myself out of trouble. But I’m kinda nervous that they will look into my record when I was younger and exclude me…

Also the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I am with background checks in general

I’m in NYC. I have depression and some other problems, but I don’t do drugs. And I feel kinda silly paying $600 for ketamine.

I just wanna try something to snap me out of my current pattern. The depression is really starting to be a problem with me.

I get depressed when I’m in most job routines. I used to be an Uber driver, and I loved that job, because I picked my own hours.

I’ve been working remotely as a software developer - which is great - but even with some software contracts, the time constraints drive me nuts - as soon as I am expected to treat anything like a 9-5 routine, I become depressed and can’t work.

The flip side of this, is that sometimes I will get into a workflow and I won’t stop - I will go for hours and hours. I don’t WANT to stop - but that’s only because I have control over my own schedule

Are there any jobs like this? I’m sticking with software for now but I still haven’t found the perfect fit

I doubt most humans can. I’m struggling with this bad because I get very delusional ideas - and I have no one to talk to about them.

At least crazy people can understand each other, I don’t even have that.

It’s rough because I feel like I’m spiraling downwards, even though I know it’s not true. I’m not delusional (usually not)

It’s bad. Apparently strong drugs can quell the panic attacks, but I don’t want to be addicted to strong drugs

It sucks, I don’t even know who to talk to anymore about this. I’m not crazy, I have anxiety on another level than most people

My family lives very far away. I try to stay in touch with them, but it’s hard. I’m very lonely - and it’s not good. Loneliness is really bad for you

My health is getting worse. Without alcohol it’s hard for me to function. My mind is not in a great place. I’m dealing with trauma and it feels like it’s chasing me - I want to get out of it

My family isn’t bad. I still love them. But mom and dad are delulu. I still try to talk to them - but they kinda just treat me as a liability.

I try to meet them halfway -

I really wish I could meet someone who I can love, because I don’t really have any right now

I know it’s a weird question - I think most people care about appearances. I’m starting to just not care anymore - but I’m not sure what to do with that part of my brain now -

I know this probably sounds like a crazy question. I have had various jobs in life - and when I was younger I really enjoyed earning money. Work wasn’t a problem.

I’m 32. I studied really hard and grinded and now I have some money opportunities right in front of me. But the love of the game is gone.

I really just want to do nothing

My dad had kids, and I think that’s what motivated him. I don’t have kids, I just want to be left alone most of the time

Specifically - cheese. And a deep fried fish

I miss my dirty ex 🤦‍♂️
