>just failed a important exam at uni despite my best efforts

if you cannot trust friends with emotional stuff are they really your friends?

i grew up in a very rural village, showing any sort of emotion that isn't rage in front of other guys was a great way to get your ass beat, that kind of stuck with me i suppose. they are otherwise reliable people, i just have a mental block when it comes to talking about feelings with them

I kinda did the same thing, though it was more of a shitstorm that swept me away.

Mind if I ask what job you did when you were out of college? I feel like I might fail one of my classes and if I do, then I fail all of them. Just wondering what kind of job people do instead of going to school

Does your uni have a counseling service? A lot of universities offer free counseling on campus. You should look into it as a way to air out the things that are bothering you. If you can't open up to your friends you can always try seeking help from a counselor.

I worked the same job during as i did before and still do now. It's nothing special and kinda shitty, but I work in a warehouse cutting rebar for anchor systems. I basically just run a saw, forklift, and crane. Before that, I was a janitor at two different places, one of which I was a manager. Right now, I make like 24k, which is of course shit.

It feels like a lose/lose situation, though I wouldn't advise anyone to do what I did. Do >>18051006 if you can.
