You know, your right. it's really inspiring how you manage to write that comment even though you're clearly mentally challenged.

just enjoy your life & try to help people and pay it forward. A lot of people don't have a single thing on your list of "average things."

I thought Elesa was Elsa and was like, I’m pretty sure she didn’t say that

It's more fun to code without the pressure of deadlines and not having to adhere to all the requirements a client wants for their app/game

Best piece of advice you will see here….

Redditors ARE NOT qualified psychologists. Their answers will only be projection of their own opinions and experience of life. 99% of the people commenting here will have NO IDEA about your life or what caused you to srrive at your destination. You need to go talk to a psychologist or your doctor. Somebody who actually has authority to speak to you on this matter. To find an answer for your problem, you have chosen to worst place on the net to ask about it. Think of it like this, do you think reddit attracts primarily idiots? Or primarily highly educated and intelligent people on average?

You can always get a job writing huge chunks of text with minimal paragraph breaks.

I was going to quit the yoga class until I read this, but namaste.

You might make a great you-tuber on your gaming. Some of these MFs are making bank and they just play video games all day. Whatever you think is bad, remember there is someone with 100x more issues and problems. Yes, I realize that doesn’t mean shit, but make your life the way YOU want it. I know its very difficult to look in the future but quit looking back. It means nothing. Really. Just be you.

They’d be confused since I’m a guy now

Every single day do this:

One. Small. Win. Ridiculously small.

In whatever area. Keep track of them (small notebook) and keep stretching those wins over time. Don’t compare to others, don’t tell anyone, don’t post it on any social media. Just keep racking up small wins.

The seemingly ridiculous practice of racking up these small wins quickly has a “carryover effect” into every area of your life.

Don’t rush. Just keep making small wins. Eventually you’ll be handling all of the “big stuff” (career, family, dating, whatever) but start small. Stupid small. And do it everyday.

Good luck

I didn't graduate from college until I was 29. And it was hard. It was not a happily go back to school and nail it when you're older situation. It made me realize that I needed help with my depression and anxiety. I've been on antidepressants and anxiety medicine now for 3 years, I think. It's completely changed my life. My mom is in full support of some people who genuinely have imbalances and medication is needed. My dad was the opposite and thinks you should tough it out. I toughed it out for 29 years and made everything much harder on myself. I still struggle with anti-social, homebody tendencies. But my lows aren't debilitating. I still feel them, but I'm not paralyzed. It's what I imagine a "normal" person feels when they're down. I still have anxiety attacks, but it's only maybe once or twice a year as opposed to weekly or monthly. A lot of doctors will say you have to do counseling and medicine together. I've been in and out of counseling since I was 12 and it's never done anything for me. There have only been two counselors I've ever had that knew how to lead a session in a way that worked for me. So I just do medicine.

I'm 34 and I've just now got a job somewhere I like, and am willing to put my best effort in. I also keep in mind that sometimes my best isn't my true best, but what I'm capable of that day. The right time for you has nothing to do with the right time for others. But I get it. I felt very behind other people too. The only way you get over it is to do something that is an accomplishment for you. You have to keep moving towards your goal even if you're crawling, even if you stumble backward.

Get in a trade and bust your ass.

Big words coming from a yoga teacher. If she was a Yoda teacher I would have given it some thought.

It really is this. One of my friends was a homeless musician from a good college. And just bumming around until 33. Went to mba school and now is a product manager at Google and makes more than me. I am like wtf. But it’s a pretty inspiring story to me.

Beat a video game ? Super mario 😄

It's important to remember that intelligence comes in many different forms, and the skills that are required for success in different jobs can vary greatly. Just because you may struggle with certain tasks or job requirements doesn't mean that you are not intelligent or capable in other ways.

It sounds like you may benefit from finding a job that better aligns with your strengths and natural abilities. Rather than focusing on jobs that you think you are not capable of, try to identify jobs that you would be interested in and that might suit your skills and personality better. For example, if you are good at problem-solving or critical thinking, you might consider roles in customer service, data entry, or quality control. If you have good writing or communication skills, you might consider roles in marketing or social media management.

It's also important to remember that many skills can be learned or improved over time with practice and training. If there are areas that you feel you need to work on, consider seeking out additional training or taking courses to develop those skills. You might also consider speaking with a career counselor or mentor who can help you identify your strengths and provide guidance on finding a career that is a good fit for you.

Most importantly, be kind to yourself and remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. It's okay to struggle with certain tasks or jobs, and it doesn't define your intelligence or worth as a person. Focus on your strengths and what you can bring to a job, and keep an open mind about your career path. With time and effort, you will find a job that is a good fit for you.

I'm having a similar problem at 31 too but it's because I stayed at home having/with children for ten years now. I was a single mother to my first when she was young, got with my partner and went back work when she hit school but got pregnant with my son and stopped after nine months to have him, now he's 3 and I've just gotten a job at a supermarket. I feel like I'm starting from where I was at 16/17. I fucked up study opportunities too when I was on my own with my first, I didn't realise how hard it is to study and be interrupted all the time, I had no idea what I actually wanted to do so I went with random science degree. I didn't handle it but I owe $18,000 in student loans. Study is now much more expensive so going back would be a huge commitment. I don't think there's any sort of lightbulb moment or big change that gets you going, you just have to go. I'm trying to see opportunity in everything. Working in a public facing role will hopefully improve my social skills and ability to talk to people even if it is only a simple, every level job. Hopefully I can end my dependence on social payments too with enough hours ECT, maybe learn a few of the departments and be open to any opportunities there. Idk what else, I might look into social work or teaching if I can figure out how to do teaching without moving around the country with the kids lol. I think the more you tell yourself you've failed and nothing is going to happen for you, the more you guarantee that future~

Get on some meds for your undiagnosed ADHD, get a job where performance is tied to compensation, then get addicted to racking up business. I used to be addicted to video games, then drugs, then many other things, but then I got addicted to working (and more importantly, being productive) just like I had my past addictions. At least this addiction has positive yields.

Replace rey with like.... Beatrix kiddo from kill bill.

And according to Jennifer Lawrence, she was the first empowered lead female character so replace her with Ripley or literally anyone else.

Team Jasmine here, that's such a fantastic quote
