Let me guess: you were fed growing up some vague line about it being pertinent to go to college, get a degree, and then get a good job. But at the same time, you weren't really encouraged to think deeply about what you wanted to do specifically (apart from some vague white collar type job), nor encouraged to reflect on who you are and want to be as a person. This tends to be the case in most such scenarios.
And this is literally something that only you can figure out for yourself.

Search for the top best degrees. Pick one that your gut tells you "this is the right one." Become good at whatever profession you choose, and you will be happy.

I enjoy playing them once in a while to relax but I read this thread on reddit that says they are bad. its a form of relaxation for me and I dont understand how it can be unhealthy if you do it in moderation? I have a bit of anxiety now because im scared im harming myself.

They're good if you're having fun playing them, not so much if you just bury yourself in them to forget about your problems.

sometimes I like to play jrpgs and lose myself in the world for a while. I do find myself using media as an escape for my emotions so I dont get too sad. but in the end I always talk about my problems with my friend and we try and figure out ways to fix it.

How the fuck do people make money? It is the sole reason for my anxiety/unease. Every other aspect of my life I am handling pretty good BUT JUST CANT HANDLE MONEY. FUCK!!! Also anger issues.
I'm 30 years old. Invested lots of time in various business ventures - now I don't trust myself because I have failed every single time. I am a hard worker I just don't now how to invest my time....if that makes sense
My longest job I have had is 2 years. Ever since I was 17 I go through a cycle of 1-2 years working a shitty labouring job, then quit and try out a business idea because I cant stand the thought of working for someone else my whole life.
I wish I had better role models as a kid/teen
Anyone ever been so financially clueless, yet somehow turned themselves around?

You shouldn't quit to do this. If you can try out a business idea and make it run while you're still working then it's worth quitting you job.
Anything else and you're dealing yourself hard mode cards.
>>
>>17560019
Explain to me OP how you think just trying out a business idea without experience is wise? Similarly, while having anger issues and potentially having trouble committing to something (I mean, if the longest you've worked on something was two years...).
And did you ever write a business plan for these ideas? Had them critiqued by others?
I mean, what I'm reading here is that you aren't driven by ambition or a desire to build something, but rather by envy and resentment at the idea of working for another. It's not a good mentality for success.
And if you're 30, I think you should consider packing it in. That's usually the cut-off age to start your own business because you can no longer take as many risks as before and need to start thinking about the future/retirement (barring you make a lot of money later on in life, which acts as a base for your decision).

Two years ago I made food in a cast iron pot and left it in the fridge. I ate 1/4 of the food then left it and it went bad. After a couple of weeks I didn't dare to open the lid and for some reason I moved the pot on my balcony. I could see the food start looking really weird under the glass lid so I put the pot in a plastic bag. It's still there on the balcony after two years, with the food in it.
Will I go to hell when I die?

I'll remind you all that this is a very real event in my life and the situation is still unresolved. Maybe I'll gather some strength today and get rid of the god forsaken pot.

In my country (Sweden) you have to do a 2 year study at least.
I can imagine there being some sort of apprenticeship but it's nothing I've looked into.
I've been thinking about it as well, seems like a pretty cool job.

I download Instagram because I want to upload drawings and stuff that I do and follow other people who do drawings and stuff.
However I don't want other people I know to see my stuff. Only problem is a bunch of people I know showed up in my follow suggestions. Obviously Zuckerburg has carried my Facebook data over to Instagram, and I would be appearing in my friends' follow suggestions too.
How do I 'break' this data link? (I never linked my Facebook account in the first place. I just happen to have Facebook messenger on my phone as well.

How to get rid of the feeling that everybody hates me or that there's something wrong with me? Nobody says anything out loud and I know the evidence to back that up is shaky, but I can't get rid of the feeling.

tl;dr...I failed a background test for job in my preferred field. Am I screwed?
>have masters degree in criminology
>decide I want to look for crime analyst/inteligence analyst jobs in police agencies
>see the state law enforcement agency is hiring for a position a few rungs below analyst, and decide to apply to get my foot in the door
>have the qualifications, pass the pre-test, ace the interview, fill out a detailed information packet and upon them looking through it they decide they want to consider me for employment and thus run a background investigation on me
>a few weeks pass and they ask for me to sign a form permitting them to access information about my 3 month long study abroad trip, showing they are in the process of investigating me and still haven't found anything for them to stop
>a few days later get a letter in the mail saying that they will discontinue my background investigation and i am no longer being considered for position
I've requested a public records check about this, but have yet to receive it.
I really have no idea what prompted this decision. My only guess is that I was baker acted 4 years ago. I didn't include that on my information packet and I guess I should have thought to, but none of the questions seemed appropriate for me to mention it in.
So my questions are:
-When i get my public records check, will it be clear what convinced them to stop considering me? Or will I have to guess?
-if i figure out that the reason is the baker act, is there any way I can contest this? can i get the record expunged and apply again? or alternatively, is it appropriate for me to contact the person who was helping me through the application process to ask any of these sorts of questions to?
-If the state law enforcement agency will not hire me, am I screwed for city/county police departments?

I had to look up what the Baker Act is, but if you were institutionalised under it, then not disclosing it would have been a huge red flag to them.
>When i get my public records check, will it be clear what convinced them to stop considering me? Or will I have to guess?
Probably have to guess. They likely have no obligation to disclose their decision-making process to you
>if i figure out that the reason is the baker act, is there any way I can contest this?
It was probably less that you were institutionalised and more that you hid it from them
>If the state law enforcement agency will not hire me, am I screwed for city/county police departments?
I don't know, but I would guess not. Can't hurt to apply though
>>
>>17559967
I looked through the packet specifically looking for a spot where the baker act would have fit, but couldn't find anything. I guess there was a more free form question where I could have included it at the very end, where I was asked to explain any other possible reasons I may not seem to be a good hire, but I was more concerned with justifying some people I'm close to now that have unsavory past. Now it seems obvious for me to have written it there, but at the time it felt unnecessary. Lesson learned I guess. Thank you for your input.

The intelligence community, as rule of thumb, generally DEMANDS loyalty and you being straightforward. If you even so much as got a parking ticket, you best be honest with them.

I want to surround myself with smart, intelligent people of my age so that I'm forced to become a better person and function on the same level, and I feel like attending University is the only option for this. When I was in school, I did very poorly academically, but I took activities with students who were in higher level classes, from well-off families who were much more successful. It was the only time in my life were I actually felt I was worth something, because I forced myself to function on their level and become something better. My life is at a standstill after failing school, and I want that same drive again to succeed. Would going to a University solve this, or should I come to accept that I'm inferior to those I look up to and that it's unlikely I'll ever catch up to them?

If you struggled academically in school, you're going to be fucked at a university.
>>
There are plenty of motivated and intelligent people that don't go to university, and there are lots of spoilt rich kids at uni who have as much motivation as a brick. Uni isn't where you're going to find your drive to succeed...
>>
Lets put it that way if you dont willpower to learn what other tells you, its going to be fuckfest in uni where no one is going to force you to learn. Usually degrees related with economics and law attract more of upper society people.

I don't know what happened. Over the past few weeks i got really close with this girl, we were really good friends. Then last week i felt a lot of coldness from her, as if she was upset at me. She was ignoring me and walking right past me withiut saying anything. I tried to talk to her and see whwt was up but got no feedback. So i sent her a message this morning asking if she was okay
>im fine
>are you sure? You've been a bit distant i just want to make sure things are alright, we're cool yeah
>please just leave me alone anon
I don't get it, we were getting real close now she hates me all of a sudden?

Shes either testing you or is a cunt. Either way just try not to give a shit and move on

>>17559912
She probably realized you wanted more from her than just friendship and since she doesn't want to outright reject you, she's ghosting or at least trying to.
That or you fucked up with something, made a stupid comment she took personal, someone else talked shit about you to her, or it has nothing to do with you at all. Either way, no one can tell you why she's acting that way other than her and she doesn't want you to know.
Leave her alone.

I know people will laugh at this but I really do have PTSD or something close to it. I was bullied through all my life but it didn't matter much till it got harsher in mid school, but anyway it got to the point where I have tics and would sometimes even freeze when I see someone or just feel extremely scared, almost to the point of screaming without any reason and just have hard time falling sleeping because it just appears every single time while I'm trying to relaxed and noticed that if I fall asleep a bit happy/normal I get dreams of being bullied. I'm sure I can fix this since I was completely fine one decade ago but have no idea how.

You can't, not alone, get professional help. (I'm not being a phony, I do recommend that)

I obviously tried but they literally have no idea what to do and have this stereotypical ideas of what it is like. I'm asking here because am sure someone else can relate to it and share what works for him.

>they literally have no idea what to do
then those people weren't professionals.
I need some help interpreting something /adv/. I recently started seeing this girl, and was over at her apartment. I went to use her bathroom, and I was a complete asshole and checked out a few drawers. I know I should have snooped, but I did.
In one of the drawers she had like 4 pregnancy test boxes. I don't even know why, and obviously I can't ask her, but this is setting off alarm bells in my head.
Is this a huge red flag? Why would someone have a stack of pregnancy tests?

Maybe she's just paranoid and wants to keep them on hand just in case she has a pregnancy scare? That would explain why she has 4 too.
Other than that, does she live alone or with other people whose they could be?
>>
>>17559840
She lives with one other girl, but they have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. They're definitely hers.

>>17559849
Well she might just be paranoid. Have you had unprotected sex?
