I need something to work on animation related. I've done animation before in college, but that was when I was given something to work for.
I have just over a month before uni and I need to give myself something to work on, but I can never do it. I just don't know where to start or how to start on a personal project during my free time. Does anyone else face this problem? How do you find the drive to work on something just out of sheer will to do so?

Usually i organize first.
Find out what you need, prepare everything and reserve yourself some time every day.
Start with small steps after that and go into a random direction, don't even rush a detailed plan for the first animation just do whatever you feel like should come next. Once you did that you should be a bit more familiar and can actually plan a project

Thank you very much for the advice.
I suppose the first step is usually the hardest for most, but soon after it becomes second nature.
Anything you want to add?

I am applying to job in field service engineering and I am coming from a straight chemistry/biology background. I know the instruments that I would work on forward and backward and have used them for years but I get hammered in interviews on the electrical side. Anyone know of good places to go to review electrical knowledge and basic information I would need to help me land the job?

So i did a 'placement' at a school a town over the other day, i knew the school wasn't the most prestigious but for some reason i found it easier to relate and socialize with people from this school, to put it short my town is a backwater archaic shithole i want out of asap, i really do wish my parents hadn't moved here, people are self righteous self absorbed, highly tribalistic and go out of their way to isolate me by exclusion, in my entire time at school i only managed to go to one party, i basically have no friends to speak of, then i go to the next town over or my cousins and find i can easily socialize with them, i can't believe i spent my entire teens on anti depressants because i thought i was in the wrong, when in reality everyone at my school have a tradie mommy and daddy who from year dot sent their kids to football training with their friend's kids and molded an innercircle you would be foolish to attempt to integrate yourself into.
At my school i get excluded out of conversations, ridiculed, put down, insulted etc. substitute teachers who work at my school get strips torn out of them during class, why is this? Because half the parents of these children divorce during high school or before that and the result is a miserable little kids who's intention is to make the lives of everyone else miserable because that is what it's like for them.
It has come to the point that going to school is a task (I'm 18yo 12th grade) and i hate getting up for it, my teachers have been on my case about it telling me feel good shit when in reality i just hate the place i'm in, i get good grades and that's about it.
In short i have wasted my teens in a toxic town with negative people who have made me into a worse person relative to if i had gone to a different school

Try to leave school with at least three decent relationships to your teachers for recommendations. Or get a job for that reason as well as independence. Otherwise there's not much to do but ride it out, apply for schools/make plans in another place, and look forward to that. Good luck!

So yesterday I found a debit card and I picked up the card. I was going to break it but I had a devil desire of using it. I made another amazon account and I bought something and I shipped on my building but not in any house. Later on, they blocked the account, so I called the phone number in the card and told them that was a lost card and I broke it. Just now I got an email saying that they are shipping the items. It's a trap or it might be an error? I can't access the account to cancel the shipping.

Quit while you're ahead (and not being prosecuted), whatever you ordered isn't worth it.
>>
>>18602324
The company you ordered it from likely won't get paid. They'll check your account and shipping information and possibly forward it to the proper authorities. If it was a small cheap item from a private seller, this likely wont happen. However larger companies (such as amazon themselves) may do a follow up because they can afford it.
If the money DOES go through, the card owner may contact amazon and prompt an investigation on their own, And if they catch you, you will likely end up in small claims court if not jail. I'm not sure what amazon knows from an order, but if they have access to what IP the order was placed from, you may be boned during an investigation.
tldr. What you did was illegal and if you're caught you will be punished accordingly. Weigh the value of what you bought with the chance of getting caught. Also weigh in your conscious. You will forever be a thief, consider if that may matter to you now or in the future.
>>
>>18602324
You using a debit or credit card can get you years of "pounded in the ass" prison. Don't pick up the item, don't attempt to use the card again, ESPECIALLY online.

Everyone I used to be friends with hates me, for how I acted in my times of desperation, and now I don't have enough money to meet anyone new. I'm doing what I need to for myself (in regards to work, etc.), but I'm so lonely, and I wish the people from my past didn't hate me. I want to go to church or something, but I don't want to be phony and pretend to believe in that stuff. I usually just go to the community center and shoot the shit there, but I'm such an odd one out there as well. I have two new friends, but that's hardly enough to keep the existential dread at bay. What can I do? I used be in intensive mental health treatment, for when I had drug dependence and panic attacks, but now I have a life set up, and asking for that sort of help again would just disrupt everything.

tl;dr: Bored and unmotivated. I enjoy being with friends (or friendly strangers), and I'm charismatic enough to be likeable, but it's also a struggle because I'm actually pretty shy and mildly paranoid. I don't enjoy doing anything alone, video games etc just pass the time. Don't know what else I do enjoy.
Longer version:
I'm a 22 year old guy, reasonably well liked, recent university graduate. No job yet, planning to find one after the summer. Not too hyped to get a job either, since my degree (in computer science) started to really bore me by the end and I'm worried I'll hate a job in the field. But I'm bored, bored, bored, and I feel like I've been searching for fulfillment for a really long time and I still don't know what I want. And the deeper I get into this rut again, the harder it will be to get out.
I've kind of wasted away my summer. I see friends around once or twice a week on average, which I always enjoy, and is a solid amount... I guess, but I'm not sure what to do when I'm not with friends. I play video games, watch youtube, play guitar and longboard around the city to pass the time, but it's just that - I'm just passing the time. I'm always tempted to message my LDR somewhat toxic ex "gf", even months later, just to chat... I wish I could find a proper relationship IRL, but between my high standards and low drive to actually chase someone, I'm fucked.
I enjoy being social, and I'm kind of charismatic, but I'm also shy and mildly paranoid so being too outgoing is a struggle. Besides when social situations go well, I don't know what else I love in life. Guess I also enjoy theatre acting, like I enjoyed university productions I've been in, but it's hard to always be acting in something. And like I said, I'm unmotivated. I'm also into music in general, but no matter how much I practice I'm pretty mediocre.
I just... don't know what to do. Or how to find what I enjoy, especially when alone.

I guess just in general I'm kind of hard to impress too, honestly. I don't impress myself when I get better at singing a song, games don't impress me, I have somewhat high standards for people... Maybe it takes a lot for me to feel fulfilled. But I guess the bottom line is I'm just pretty lonely and bored, and I'm not sure what to do.
Promise I'm not a huge asshole though. I'm supportive of people, but after a fun night out or something I'll just feel kinda empty sitting around.

guys I have a lot of shame and its starting to rule my life. about 2 years ago I tried to commit suicide. at least that's what I told people. in reality it was a way to get the attention of a few people. The people closely involved know the truth now and have forgiven me. about 5 months after my first "attempt" I actually tried to kill myself but it obviously didn't work.
I have a lot of shame centered around this. My extended family is very country and conservative. I feel like they're judging me. seeing me as a weakling.
In a way I've payed for it. I can't explain how because many of my friends do browse 4chan. but in short my life was basically uprooted and thrown out. I had to start all over again. during this time I started a self improvement plan and have fixed my shit. This shame is the last bastion however. and I'm not sure how to get over it.

Explain what happens when you experience a bout of shame. What do you think of? How do you feel?
Also, do you have shame all the time? What triggers shame in you?
>>
I think once you can interact genuinely and show these people you've moved on from that bad place the only thing left is for them to forget it. Time will pass and shame will reduce ultimately
>>
>>18602157
>what happens
I have self deprecating thoughts. shit like >you're fucking pathetic for trying to commit suicide > you're such a weakling for doing all that for attention.
>what do I think of
I think about my first "attempt" the moments leading up to it. then I can't help but think about the faces of everyone whom I've hurt
>How do you feel?
I feel helpless because I cannot change the past. I feel trapped in these emotions
>how often do you feel shame? what triggers it
No, only a couple episodes a day that usually only last 20ish minutes. triggers are literally anything.

>F/27, married for 5 years, still childless. From a third-world country.
I love my husband, and he loves me as well, but we had a problem a while ago.
I found out that he's been talking to this American woman for a while and that he planned with her to help him move to the US "for work".
I discovered about this so when I confronted him he told me that they're only friends, and that there's nothing more than that between them. And that she is going to give him citizenship by marriage and that once he's married to her and he aquires the citizenship, he will divorce her.
Of course I lost my shit and completely refused the entire thing and went to my parents. I told him he has to choose between either me OR moving to the US.
He chose me and forgot about the idea and no longer talks to that woman and we're back on good terms now.
I felt guilty that I had cut off a source of wealth for him... but I never stopped feeling uncomfortable about what happened. I mean, what if he liked her and then stayed with her? I can't even imagine him being away from me let alone being with another woman!
Tell me, did I do the right?

Yes, you did right.
A distance like that over a long time would have killed the relationship sooner or later.
Now that wouldn't have been that bad if you weren't married, but marriage is supposed to last, and if you already agreed to that sort of comittment, you should both try to make it last.
But it seems you made a good choice sinceh e listened to you and respected your wish.
Good luck to both of you, make sure he you keep working on your relationship regardless of whehter things are going well or not.
>>
I'm not sure if this is a myth exactly but at least in movies I've seen that it is illegal to marry just for citizenship. I dont know how simple or complicated it can be.
Marriage is a very special thing and you were absolutely right for feeling uncomfortable. For all you know he would have left you behind and never looked back. I find it disturbing.
Citizenship can mean a lot for a family like you but its pretty was to get in and stay illegally also. Millions of migrants find their way in

You're still a little baby.
How do i relax and enjoy myself around her?
Just started going out with a girl, and she likes me a lot. We couldn't keep our hands off each other all evening yesterday. I like her too, but my anxiety is keeping me from being truly happy. I've been ghosted/rejected so many times before that i'm sort of holding my breath expecting it to happen again. But it seems like i finally met a girl who appreciates me.
I just want to kick back and be able to relax with her. I feel kind of drained today because i spent 8 hours with her being all nervous.
She said she gets nervous around me too, but the good, excited kind. Mine is like a constant drip of adrenaline that cancels out that nice feeling of butterflies, and tenses me up.

>>
>>18602099
You can't predict the future, so you can't know if she'll ghost you. Additionally girls have ghosted you before and regardless of that you still managed to find this girl you're getting anxious over. Even if your worst fear becomes a reality what happens? You'll survive and you're currently in that "post what if she ghosts me" world now, and is it as bad as you imagined it would be if this girl ghosted you in the future?

Has anyone had these before?
The doc told me to use hydrocortisone suppositories, put vaseline around my ass and consume lots of water and fiber
Is there anything else I can do to speed along the healing? This is the worst pain I've ever been in.
