Where do you get good career advice from?

I'm not going to ask you guys to work it out for me; but where did you get pointed in the right direction?

When I was in school I was tested extensively but my results were statistically anomalous, my teachers thought I would end up in prison
I got thrown out of school, re-entered to finish highschool
career tested again, apparently accountancy or leadership
both these results were laughable as I have conceptual difficulty with numbers and I don't exactly get along with people

I worked in construction, hospitality and retail
traveled while everyone else was studying

now I'm 22 and when I return home I'l be unemployed, it's eating at me and ruining my time abroad
and I'm finding that a degree is used as an arbitrary measure of ability, it sees doors slammed in my face.

I have an occasional workplace at a local coffee shop as an assistant. The environment is really chill and all of my co-workers are nice to me. I can pretty much take breaks whenever I feel like it and also get free food and drinks.
I've been working there for months now. Not too regularly, but every few weeks.
Yet I still get anxious when they call me in. I usually just sit around at home for hours before I have to go and just waste my time being moderately nervous. (I think it's far from a panic attack, but it still frustrates me)
It is actually a really nice place, I don't understand how can I still handle it this poorly after 3 months of working there.
How can I change my mindset about this?

My managers were dishonest bastards. They would be rude to the employees and cause them to burst into tears. They had little self control and frequently went into mood swings. They never left their anger at the door like a responsible adult and I spent almost a year walking on egg shells around them before quitting. They would fire one of their employees and laugh about him the next day, people with families, bills to pay. I would suggest sucking it up and getting over it. When I said I was quitting their attitude changed, and they started slandering my name in front of me when talking to the customers. It sounds like you've settled into your job and you're becoming restless, it's normal. Don't ever take it for granted or get too comfortable, and in regards to changing your attitude you're the only one who can find that answer. I never really changed my attitude about being anxious heading into work, I just knew I had a job to do so I did it. Your coworkers are probably nervous too, but if it's not as stressful as you say, just remember it ain't that bad, and once you get in there and start working you might wonder what you were worrying about in the first place.

is it wrong that I just don't want to hear what my friend has to talk about anymore it really even hang out in social settings anymore? he's always talking about how phenomenal his life is. it's hard to be happy for him while I'm a depressed, anxious, wreck and have been for years. I'd rather just not speak with him instead of listening in envy for eight hours or whatever.

I'd like to vocalize this to him but I feel like I'll sound like an asshole so I'm kinda just trying to improve my mental health so I can explain once I feel better. I doubt this will work out though.

Well first of all, the first step to improve your mental issues is to talk about it right? Yes it might go out all wrong at first but with practice it will get better overtime as you talk.

If your friend finds it annoying that you'd talk about your problems while he talk about his life than he isn't much of a friend.
>>
>>18468139
He's living his own life and you've got your own. Instead of being this way, ignore him and focus on yourself and better yourself. Change of wardrobe, lifestyle, get out and about, get a job if you haven't got one, get new hobbies, start going to the gym. Instead of feeling sorry get yourself up and tell yourself you deserve better and work towards it. You can't get anywhere without effort.

That's a good point. It'll be hard to open up though, I never do that so I don't even know how.
>>18468148
>ignore him and focus on yourself and better yourself
Sure, that's good advice, but what do I do when we talk? Every time I speak with him he has some shit to say about how he is fucking/has fucked a new girl, how healthy he is, how ambitious he is, how many friends he has made, etc. It's nice hearing that he's doing well but I almost want to just blank out and not listen because at a certain point I just don't give a fuck anymore. I want to work towards ditching my apathy and building myself as a person. In the meantime I have to listen to this shit and if I'm not paying attention it just all blends into white noise with me saying "uh huh, yeah that's great man" over and over for hours.

I'm... perplexed. Can someone help me figure out my situation?

I have a crush on a really good friend of mine and were really close. I was actually about to drop her as a friend but she ended up staying in my life because we grew closer as friends. She's an excellent confidant and friend but she's been in a relationship longer than we've been friends.

I can't let her go because she likes hanging out with me a lot. She's so nice... I feel bad for liking her this much. I feel like I'm in a frenzy but when she talks to me, I can calm down. Anyone have advice or helpful tips?

Bro either decide not to hit it or wait. There's no other real. Option. If she drops her bf for you what makes you think she wouldn't drop you for someone else?
>>
>>18468182
I know she won't drop her bf, which is actually kind of good to know since that let's me know she has a good set of morals. I'm not waiting around but we're such good friends that I can't help but stay in love with her.

Dont ask why but I had of pharmaceutical grade 1mg pills of etizolam. Take three to 6 on average to sleep the past 2 weeks. And its been amazing I feel so much more refreshed and actually got a bunch of things done I normally wouldn't have have done. Now I'm down to my last 11 pills and I dont know how to tapper. In the past I've had seizures with this stuff for going cold turkey.
Last time I took them for recreational and this time cause I have no balls cause I'm a tranny. Lost of my testosterone has caused major depression and sleep problems. And etizolam helped with both. But its coming to and end I cant order more because its becoming illeagle now. How should I tapper? I can handle the withdraws its like a really bad fever but the seizures come out of no where and I cant afford to land in the er like last time. Should I just take 2mg a night for 5 days or like 1 mg a night for 10 days? or Just take them every 8-10 hours (elimination time)? HALP

Find one with a longer half life and use that to taper. I was prescribed xanax for anxiety with no abuse, but couldn't handle the withdrawls. I ended up buying phenazepam (60+hr halflife) to withdrawl. Super easy.

I now have been to my psychologist about 12 times more or less in the last 2 monts+. I think this shit won't give me anything.
For the last 11 times, it looked pretty much like this: She would ask me questions, about my past, about what I feel, my problems, and it kinda looked like she wanted my to talk about it thinking this alone will help me.
Sometimes she would draw conclusions, but in my mind I was always like "nooo really? I would have never guessed /sarcasm".
So yesterday I asked her, where are we going with all of this... she asked me what I want in the end, well I said to get better at least a little bit to have just any slight of energy to live and get off my ass.
So she started to push the "don't look at the bad sides of your life, look at the positives" type of shit.
I kept telling her that it's too hard for me, because there was waaaaay more bad shit in my life than the good stuff (no joking, it's about 95 bad : 5 good), but still her mindset was "well, but at least there was something good".
So what the hell is it? Is this the best psychologists can do? If so, then I don't need her, I can tell myself how shitty my life was and talk about it alone, I have drawn the same conclusions myself, the "look at the bright side of life" BS doesn't work for me...
I tried taking antidepressants (2 types of them) and they only made me feel worse, and I am ATM too weak physically to take the side effects, that may or may not disappear, and the drug may or may not help me.
I think psychologists only work for people with slight problems, when the depressions kicks in, when there is still hope, when their lifes were not as miserable as my was.

What do?

tl;dr - My psychologists doesn't help me at all, she only wants me to speak about my problem, makes conclusions that I already made and pushes "look at the good side of life" while most of my life (95%) was shit and it doesn't work. Are psychologists just a meme?

You went in with unrealistic expectations. Shrinks can't "fix" you, that's something yiu have to do yourself. Their job is literally to draw your attention to problems and issues you might yourself avoid addressing or acknowledging. They can't offer premade solutions. Personally, I found it helpful when I was at my lowest point, because talking to someone who didn't know me a few times helped me to commit to change and to admit aloud where I was going wrong. I went 7 times and then fixed my situation myself. It sounds like you're at the same point now. Time to do shit, instead of saying shit.
>>
>>18468091

Your psychologist can do nothing to help you if you don't speak openly about what's on your mind to begin with. It sounds like you are holding back.
>>
>>18468096
Okay but it doesn't seem to work for me. I know the stuff I'm talking there. I know the problems I have and all the conclusions etc.
12 hours later I know nothing more and I am not closer to getting better. The problem I have is I don't know how to repair myself.
I thought I would get this with a psychologist. Some ideas, where to start. I literally know my problems.
Maybe, maybe my expectations were unrealistic, but it's the people here that told me to go there.
If that;'s the best ashrink can do for me, then I better not waste anymore money.

>>18468098
Uhm by what do you say that? What's the indicator of that? I told her literally everything. i even told her how much of a tfwnogf guy I am, she said "oh well you can't just focus on other people"...
Even though there were people that killed themselves because they were alone. So this is not a non-psychological problem, and she treated it like that.

Me, my brother and uncle are going to see football today. He is an alcoholic and has been drinking since Monday. I won't tolerate him being drunk outside his home, or drinking in the daytime even, yet he has and probably still is. He said he really wants to go. Is he manipulating me? Or should I just quit being a dick and take the guy? Me and my brother don't drink.

I know that this is basically all this bored is but I need some advice for the grills.

I'm a betafag kissless virgin who's never had a girlfriend (I could have at one point but I'm such a betafag I rejected her for some fucking reason) but anyway I'm getting hooked up with this girl I knows cousin who sounds literally my opposite gendered doppelgänger. Like literally everything I do she do you feelin me. She sounds great but I'm (as previously mentioned) the biggest fucking beta on earth. Now I consider myself to not be too bad looking. To myself a 5/10 but I've been called a 7 and an 8 by two girls that had crushes on me (again no fucking idea why I rejected them I might be gay or something) and I've got an average size dick according to my probably gay best friend and most of the internet. I have no problem with almost anyone I can get along with someone pretty much no matter what (unless the first impression is utterly horrible) so that stuff is no problem. It's just that I'm really awkward and when I try to ask out a girl or anything. I can hold a conversation like a motherfucker but get shit when it comes to getting pussy.

You can print out 100 cards that say "I like you" and has your email address in case she likes you back, and give her one card. That way you can avoid the awkwardness of having to ask her in the moment. Plus, she won't forget your contact info because she has the card. Even if it doesn't work you'll still have 99 cards left.

Dude. Gain some confidence and ask her out. You can gain confidence by changing your attitude about life. You can get a pretty girlfriend, I promise you. If this chick you speak of is of your interest, go for it.

How can I learn to love myself, or just get away from feeling alone?

I have some hobbies (lifting, cosplaying, anime/vidya, competitive Vidya, cycling, photography, cooking, up for anything new desu) friends, acquaintances, coworkers and a semi okay relationship with my family (we don't hate or bother each other, but they're like strangers to me). My friends and coworkers come to me for emotional support or to vent a decent amount.There are a lot of times where I feel like I do not fit in at all and ask myself "why am I here" when I hang out with friends/coworkers, yet they still invite me out. Even with all that I haven't really felt a bond with anyone in years, this loneliness is seriously starting to get to me.

My life should be considered nice as there are so many worse off than me, but I feel miserable. Suicidal thoughts have been crossing my mind more and more.

I know that feel bro. Pretty much down to a tee and I question what the point is or who would miss me despite the fact I know people care and I have a good job/prospects. I guess all I can say to you is what I know of my own situation, even if I debate it's worth, at the end of the day it is worth it:

You sound like you have people that care about you or hold you in high esteem. Life and job-wise you probably have it better than most and even if that's not a good reason to be happy it means you have opportunities which you need to take. The way you feel is maybe because you don't see all the things you do as being significant, probably because of your own high standards/expectancies of others but you don't see the you other people do.

Keep working hard, keep trying to enjoy yourself, put yourself out there a bit more. It might not feel great or worth it now but I hope there'll be a time when you realise you're in a funk that you'll be able to see far behind you one day.
>>
>>18468020

What helped me was finding a reason to believe that I was a good person. I did this by writing a list of things/ideas I value and analyzing why I value them. Maybe you should try the same. Include anything that matters to you, whether it's something about a person that you like, or something you enjoy doing, or something that crosses your mind a lot. Or even just ideals you seek in a person. They don't have to all be positive, just be honest with yourself about what you feel is important and what you find yourself thinking about constantly. As examples, I wrote things like:

>final exit(suicide)
>honesty
>talk, don't argue
>challenge others' logic and your own
>pay attention
>remove "i can't" "i'm sorry" "i don't know" "i guess"

Just random shit I felt was important to write down and that I feel is indicative of who I am as a person. When I overlooked this list and analyzed why they mattered to me I realized they were generally tied to betterment of myself and values that I believe are inherently good. So it made me feel like a genuinely good person once I got to the bottom of why I feel the way I feel.

It might sound irrelevant or cockamamie but I really don't see a path to self-love without serious self analysis.

Try to find a "bestie" among your friends. Someone you could open up to, and not just listen to.
A similar problem haunted me too until recently. I was the listener, and never the talker. I felt alone. And I also felt as a cumdumpster of emotions, for other people but myself.
Until recently I found two good friends whom I can share with my problems and life, which lifted most of my loneliness off my shoulders.

I'm about to move from GA to VA with a drive of about 7 hours. I'm really panicking because the few times I've moved before as an adult were relatively short distances and even then it seems like a lot of things came up at the last minute or there were things I forgot to do entirely etc.

For some context I'm going from renting 1 room in a house to renting an entire house, and I have 2 cats. A moving company will be coming for my bed and furniture and whatever I can box up and won't need for cleaning, but that leaves figuring out how to get there comfortably with 2 cats in a tiny car.

Atm it looks like the cats will be the only issue but if anybodys moved recently or had horrible moving experiences I'd appreciate any tips or different perspectives. I'm just really anxious about the whole thing and losing sleep about it
