Here's the situation:
>2X years old
>Ran away from home
>$1000 left in the bank
>Now I'm phone posting using public wifi, asking 4chan for advice

And that about covers it. Most likely not my smartest play, but the decision has been made. Ridicule me if you want, or give some actual advice besides "go back home". Maybe given some time and distance I'll change my mind. But it's not currently an option.

I know the broad strokes: Find a new source of income (quit my old job to cut ties) and find a place to stay. I just need help filling in the details.

How can I start making money as an artist?
How do I find people who want to buy my art?
Is patreon worthwhile?

I've already made an Instagram, but it's difficult to grow a fanbase. I've been thinking about also starting a twitter account and/ or YouTube channel for my art, but it's difficult to manage so many accounts.

(PS pic related is unfinished. I still gotta fix her face and the background needs polishing)

i like your stuff, a lot. you got already an intuition for light, some fags take decades to achieve it. also dramatism without being super sugary. who are your influences?

also, i dont think youll ever get a fanbase with that kind of work these days. if you took that same style and did edgy drawings of creepy shit (like the OP pic but with a deformed face, or tentacle arms) or satanic goats in the woods or some shit youd get tons of fans. but as it is, it just wont catch the instagram kiddies.

I have tried so hard anon. I will definitely try my best to stop though.

/adv I fucked up. To make a long story short, I made friends with a socio/psychopath - I know the type. This person got me talking and I had my guard down. I revealed too much information about my life.

This person has a criminal record, including sexual abuse (admitted it to me). and continues to be friends with shady people.

The other day he brought one of these shady people to work and that guy knew too much about me. My name, my interests, my hobby. They are talking about me.

I believe this person is planning on setting me up to get robbed.

The problem is they are a coworker in a small team. I interact w this person almost every day. The guy is homeless now and desperate for money - I feel like he is considering me a target for some kind of scam to rob me.

How do I navigate this mine field?

Honestly I find it odd that you even preface the post with a subject that involves you proposing a group of people that you insult and feign superiority over.

Maybe your problem is that you are an asshole? Life is easy when you start taking it easy on yourself and others. But if you want to keep living your life insulting yourself and others, have at it.

I'm heavily infatuated with a boy I met on the internet. He lives across the ocean and the chances that he's into me too and that we'll ever meet are very slim. I'm trying to get him out of my head but I can't, and I experience something strange - I feel crazily sexually attracted to any guy who looks/acts like this boy. It got to a point when I get hot and bothered when I see some stranger looking just a bit like him walking down the street. Is it normal? How do I stop this madness? Please help me adv

Define normal. It happens sometimes to some people, but it's not too healthy.

>How do I stop this madness?
You know the deal, cut all contact, be sure to spend most of your time doing something stimulating (as opposed to mindless browsing facebook and 4chan or watching romcoms). It will take time either way.

Why would any girl want to be in a relationship with me in particular when she could literally be with anyone else?
Even assuming I had something valuable to offer, it's not like they couldn't find someone better.
I genuinely don't understand how I'm supposed to expect anything out of a relationship if I ever get one.

You know, ive been in a similar mindset. You must have something the girl likes you for. A woman doesn't choose you over the size of your dick or your wallet. With the good ones, they choose you because you are emotionally compatible. If she's depressive you can brighten up her day. If she's angry you can calm her.
The most notable thing is your past too. Maybe she meets a guy who's richer, nicer, and sexier. However, she does not know him. She has not experienced anything with him. She has with you though, and she picks that.
>>
>>18401460
>You must have something the girl likes you for
Even then I have a hard time believing that I can bring anything truly unique to the table.
>she does not know him
So if she meets him I'm fucked? I know you said
>She has with you though, and she picks that
But are shared experiences that valuable when someone objectively better comes up?
>>
>>18401487
Shared experiences are WAY more valuable. She knows what makes you tick, she chose YOU. And honestly man sometimes I don't get it either. My girl had the chance to run off with a way hotter guy than me but she stuck by me for reasons I still don't understand. Sometimes we just don't get it but love is weird like that.

In all honesty I cannot promise she won't drop you for someone else. But if she has a shred of goodness and decency she won't.

Hey /adv/

So my girlfriend told me that she doesn't feel any sexual attraction or romantic feelings for me. She wants them to come back but isn't sure why they're even gone in the first place. She says she really loves me, I'm her absolute best friend and when i discussed maybe breaking up she made it clear she wants to be with me for the rest of her life rather than lose me. I kind of know what she means about the sexual attraction, as I've noticed less interest personally on my part. Is it that we're too familiar? It's been 4 years now and I don't think we've ever gone longer than 8 hours without talking. During the day unless she's at work its no longer than an hour only if one of us is really busy. She uses the bathroom in front of me, we fart and burp and goof off constantly, we're really close, but are we so close its killing our sexual attraction?

Happened in my last relationship, you have grown so complacent that the stimulation is gone.

Break up, you are wasting your time.

The honeymoon phase ended in your relationship. The only way to trigger romance and attraction now is by taking the initiative, this is natural after three to five years.

Is she just being nice at this point? Or should i just continue like it never happened? I've already made myself "creepy" in her eyes, even just for a couple days, but can it be salvaged?

So you don't actually have any problem?

Don't sweat it just don't do it again, and go find a couple more girls to play with.

I would recommend you to leave her. She will ruin you. If you stay like that you'll get more and more attached to her, but the problem is, she won't. Even if you end up in a relationship you'll always be dependent on her and she won't be dependent on you as much. I would say If you want to just fuck her, go on, but it will cost you much pain later.. So you choose.

There is no reason for me to be on this earth. Humanity is capable of great things, people have invented computers, cars and have sent people to the moon and back. And what do I do? I do manual labour anyone can do while being a burden to absolutely everyone and everything. I am a burden to my family because I dont make enough money to live on my own and the only thing I return is worries.
I am a burden to this earth by polluting the environment with my existence while giving it absolutely nothing in return. I will never make a difference because I can't even sit down for 10 minutes and learn. I have the attention span if a 3 year old and will never be able to do anything that will make a difference to anyone or anything. The world would be better without me and I would be better off when i'm dead. All I feel is sadness. I use anti depressants but all they do is giving me fake hapiness. It is not real and I notice it. I'd rather be dead and feel nothing. Maybe some plants can grow from my remains and then I have achieve at least someting.

The only reason I still live is because I know my mother wouldn't be able to handle my suicide. I wanted to crash my motorcycle iinto a tree and started accelerating but just before I would hit the tree I saw my mother crying in my mind. I couldn't put her through that pain and I could evade the tree and swerve back to the road just in time. I have no idea where I am going with this story, which is a good representation of my life.

Attached is a picture of Aristotle, he made a difference.

I am sorry to hear about your situation anon.

I can clearly understand your feeling of despair, and your desire to end your life. The worst of all I can unsrestand not wanting to kill yourself because that would dispappoint or even crush the only people who ever cared about you. I can understand that the most.

Truth is, I am not sure where I am going with this post either.

>>18401205
Your life isn't your property. You did not will yourself into existence. Your existence is a derivative of a process that has been on a road from simple to complex over the course of billions upon billions of years.

You are one of the apex predators of this planet. Your brain is the most sophisticated piece of organic matter in the known universe.

Life is a job. Your only responsibility is to follow your instincts and intuition. Your heart already knows the path. Listen to it. Your depression is a necessary evil, it is goading you towards the truths that you're failing to acknowledge.

Aristotle occurred thousands of years ago. Aristotle had none of the resources that you have. You are more educated than Aristotle was by the sheer force of public education. The only thing standing between you and greatness is will.

Patience is a virtue.

3 years ago I decided to do everything in my power to reinvent myself into a "normie". I lifted, talked to girls, went out to bars, parties, played rec sports, read nonfiction books and did my best to assimilate into the mainstream.

Before I was a fucking nerd. Borderline autistic, obsessed with video games, anime, fantasy shit and all kinds of escapism. I tried to repress all of that so I could be normal and get friendz and girlz, and it sort of worked, but I've been depressed because of it.

The stimulation that playing a video game and being immersed in a beautiful digital world gives you is something I've been craving badly. I badly want to buy a new console, go buy magic cards, cover my apartment in vidya swag, and just nerd out and escape from the real world. But I have a feeling that if I allow myself to indulge just a *little bit* all my social gains will disappear and i'll be back to fedora status instantly

how do i kill the nerd so he won't come back

There's nothing wrong with playing videogames, in moderation. But putting anime posters and shit around your room is going too far. Use common sense to draw the line. You honestly can't just play a game one weekend and party the next? Do you lack self control?
>>
>>18401219
Additionally, do you genuinely enjoy hanging out with people? Or are you just doing it to please others? Live for yourself, I say. If you truly enjoy being a vidya geek, why not be one? Your happiness is more important than opinions of friends and family.
>>
Nigger do you know the meaning of the word "balance"? You don't have to "kill the nerd", to keep being social, videogames and cartoons don't make you an autistic lonely sadboy by themselves. You can play games, watch cartoons, lose yourself in fantasy once in a while and have a healthy social life at the same time. You just have to stop obsessing over an activity or goal to the point where you ignore everything else.

What I don't understand is why do you want to escape from the real world so badly? I guess you assumed it was because you were a lonely nerd, but you're implying that you're not one anymore, so what is the reason? You should try to figure that out. Could it be that you find no pleasure in your current life and you don't really enjoy the company of the people you surrounded yourself with?

Besides, you seem to have it even worse now than before, when you were into all that nerdy shit. At least back then you had something to "escape" reality. So why do you keep clinging to this "normie" life if it brought you no happiness? Why do you reject the things that brought you pleasure for something that brought you nothing?

Love of my life and girlfriend of 4+ years just broke up with me. Feeling more depressed than ever. Couldn't sleep last night. She got a job in a big city and I moved with her. She told me she wants me to leave within the month. I have a college degree, but work at a coffee shop. What can I do anon. My heart is broken. I was really looking forward to spending many more years with this beautiful and wonderful person. We had our issues like everyone else, though I thought we had a great relationship regardless of the few bumps in the journey; we are only human anon. Am I human?

Well heres the thing. Currently im married so ive already been through plenty of relationships and heart breaks, some more intense than others. Honestly my advise is made up of two things: 1. and im not kidding treat the pain like a cold or a sickness that you will heal from. You will go through pain now but in the very near future you will wake up with feeling just fine. the 2. go out with someone else when you feel better. could be a rebound and thats not bad either.
>>
I feel you mate, same thing happened to me about 2 months ago.
All I can say is that change needs time, it's going to be a lot shittier than it is now, trust me, but after that better times will come.

I for myself worked out every day, started playing basketball again and socialized with old friends more than ever.

I still feel the pain everyday though, not to know what she is doing and she got this new guy already.

I stopped all contact on Facebook, WhatsApp and whatever, just seeing her atm would crush my heart again.

Change takes time.
