She is not interested. Women have their phones on them at all times, if she's not reading or replying to your messages for days at a time, she's just not interested. You're probably noting more than a cool acquaintance she worked with. Move on.

check out computer science. You'll have to deal with a moderate amount of programming for the degree but after you have the degree the jobs it opens up are not limited to programming.
Here's a list of fun ones for the federal government which has astounding benefits. They've also got internships and summer programs that can help get you some exposure and see if you're interested.

There's also some fun stuff in the financial field if that interests you. Actuaries and Accountants, stuff like that.

I still have no idea what I'm doing at 24, So you're already on a comparatively good road. While doing a little cost projection on local trade schools I came up short on several degrees, Mostly because certain degrees are raising and dropping in value so much, Re-certification in fields like network security put numbers even farther into the red. Software development didn't look that bad, Work is plentiful but success in such a field depends closely on product performance and advertising unless you sign on to a big company, Go all salary man in what's essentially an art field.

Personality oriented assessment isn't a path I tend to trust, But you sound like the rare bird that could stomach accounting without hearing voices in your head telling you to burn the office. Good money in that.

Just fucking leave if she isn't there.

Roommate is driving and a cab/Uber back to my side of the city is $50 minimum.

I could technically drive but I don't want to risk a DUI.

Grab em by the pussy... When you're a star, they'll let you do anything.

Lose some weight?

Have a pretty face and big tits. That's my gf.

First off, realize that high school and people in high school are a small fragment in your life. I know it may seem like your world is crumbling, but thats because your life is centered around few things; school, girls and depression.

Most people go through a first girlfriend phase and get their heart broken. It's definitely painful, but it will fade. What you need to understand with girls though, is that they're not therapists. Having that sense of comfort with people doesn't mean that your problems should become theirs. Everyone has problems, and no one wants to hear someone complain and look weak. Its more of a primal instinct.

I will recommend that you should not waste time trying to talk to that girl. What you need to do is focus on your life and bettering yourself. That is what girls find attractive. I suggest you pick up something from Robert Greene, like 48 laws of power or art of seduction. I read it after high school and while it had some bulls shit points, overall it definitely helped me judge situations better, read people more carefully and actually make that step into becoming less depressed.
Oh, and try exercising and meditation.

>>18541603
Thank you for the advice, anon. You're right, that it certainly feels like everything is coming to an end.

The exercise thing is an interesting take, because when you said it, I realized I felt loads better when I was going to the gym regularly. Only reason I stopped was because I got a bad ankle sprain playing basketball, but that was months ago now. I should start going again, for sure.

Again, thank you for the perspective.

>>18541621
For sure Anon, just remember that no chick is worth being suicidal about. Life is supposed to have ups and down, but you have to maintaim independent happiness. It may sound corny, but you really can't love others until you love yourself

>>18541528
Does anybody have the slightest idea of what OP is trying to say?

OP, try again, in English.

What are you asking for advice on?

>he was not allowed to sign the contract because he couldn't propound a valid employment contract (so in the case of cases, like if they break up, he is unemployed and an owner of the flat and they wouldn't be allowed to kick him out afaik although he cant provide for the flat)

>his fault. Girl has nothing to do with his miserable life. Wonder why they broke up..

You fucking moron, made me reply

You were dead before you were alive and you'll die when your old. Life is a vacation from the nothingness of this reality. Now when it comes to your pain. I 100% understand. I'm also in the middle of trying to stop that too. here's an exercise I do that helps. Everytime I think about something in my past. I also think of something I want to do in the future or something I like. Do this everytime you have those thoughts. Also don't chase happiness. Happiness comes to you when your doing the things you want to do in life. Also meditate. Take deep breaths and focus on the now. It's a process so it's going to work over night. But if you stick with this. You will stop thinking about your past/pain and you will find happiness.

Do you have a email? I feel like I want to learn some more stuff from you. But you don't need to say

I love film as well but honestly the best thing is to keep it as a passion/hobby and learn through your own instead of wasting money in useless education

Sorry for being a naysayer, but most great directors say the same advice.

>>18541565
Other anon is right. While I was an undergrad, I saved up enough to get a DSLR camera and some other equipment. Then I wrote a low-budget script that I could shoot on locations I had access to and shot a feature film during the weekends of my junior year with the help of all my friends, as actors and crew members. Now I'm at law school, but I pursued my hobby and made a movie that I'm proud of.

For directing it's absolutely true. You might as well just hire some low level guys and try it out on your own, youtube is an ocean with really great lectures and tips.
If you want to learn about cameras and actually use some high end stuff, schooling can be really wonderful. Of course the actual information about cameras is readily available on youtube.
Really it's a great way to have an excuse to make some movies and experiment with really expensive shit. It's also nice to have someone to actually ask questions along the way.
But yes, it's really fucking expensive to go to schools that actually have decent crap.
The school I went to had really great camera shit, but the audio equipment sucked ass, leftovers from the 90s (the actual problem was that it was badly maintained, with good care that equipment could've outlasted us all). The actual education was lacking, but I really learned to love editing after a while.

Actually I would urge you to do that, learn about editing, editing involves all of the things you need to know to really understand what makes a good movie. Especially directing, in so many ways they really are the same job. Everything suddenly got a lot smoother to shoot when I know from experience what kind of footage is shitty to paint a story.
Also it's cheap, just torrent premiere or something and edit shit. Youtube has the rest of the information and footage you need.

Higher standarts. Having a gf right now i couldn't be more scared to lose her, because every girl i ever met or she is dealing with seems to be trash.
Like you alredy said: you'd need an end goal

Does she want to have kids
Is her family allright
Is she working like she is supposed to
Etc...

You cant tell me you are meeting only 10/10 socially and look-wise. Just set your standards and than ""chase"" "the one"

>ooVoo

Why do you want to move from one extreme to the other?
Just go from being jealous to trusting your partner. Except you are in an open relationship in which case you already fucked up by signing up for something you don't want.

Is your partner a man or a woman?

>>18541449
It seems like getting over jealousy and being in an open relationship makes the most out of life
I am single

>>18541462
It'd be a female and I am single
