Do you have any hobbies, OP?

You won't improve if you stay here, that's for sure.

I can't relate to dropping out of college, since I didn't even go, but I can relate to not really having any interests for a career. Just try out as many different jobs as you can I guess. You'll eventually find something that you don't completely hate, probably

My main hobby used to be vidya because it provided an easy means of escape from reality.

But I don't have the willpower to play vidya anymore. Takes too much effort and concentration.

Nowadays, I pretty much just browse the Internet until I get tired, and then read a book before drifting off to sleep.

I have clinical depression and anxiety to a pretty severe extent. No friends, no passions, no goals, etc. Medication and therapy don't help either.

I attempted suicide last year and that left me with some pretty gnarly scars on my neck and wrists. Every day I wake up wishing that I had succeeded.

Do you want to be friends, maybe having someone to talk to would help.

>>37006876
Not really, no, though I appreciate the offer. Socializing has never really been my thing.

>>37006854
>talking to tripfags
you deserve to feel this way

>But I don't think browsing a Siberian Reindeer Pelt-Exchanging Forum is going to lead me anywhere that would be an improvement.
The solution to this seems pretty simple. LEAVE BEFORE THIS PLACE CONSUMES YOUR SOUL

Why does that matter? Who gives a shit about people's idiosyncrasies on this fucking website?

Oh, well if you change your mind im easy to find.
I think if you find a hobby you enjoy that would be a good first step into improving yourself.

tripfags/attention whores go completely against the entire point of an anonymous image board

>>37006953
As long as they actually contribute to the discussion, I don't see at all why it matters.

>>37006998
Because it shouldn't be accepted. They are attention whores, or else they wouldn't have the trip. If you don't have a problem with attention whores, well, then I don't know what to tell you. They belong on Reddit or literally any other website with an account system, not here

oh nooo the purity of this wonderful website has been compromiiiiiised

this is clearly an issue I should dedicate time and effort to combating!

fucking hell dude it's not that big of a deal; get over yourself

>>37007081
Okay, sweetie. You cant stop replying to me now

I've chosen to fall into a disrespected low-wage and manual-labor based management job. I kinda like it, but I have the inattentive sort of ADHD, and untreated severe depression, which causes psychogenic nausea.

Really, don't be me. If I could go back in time, I'd have studied philosophy, since I love philosophy, but was always told it was a garbage degree (despite being a pathway into law or medicine). Maybe I still should, but I'm afraid of college loans.

>>37007114

Ever heard of books? They're in the library, they're free. All the best philosophers of all time wrote their best shit down in them.

>>37007141
there's a lot of employers that just look for proof of *any* degree because it shows you're committed enough to get through college at all

I have a sibling who works for one of those health care informatics companies making $60K/year with benefits and they have a degree in *theater*.

Draw art and bask in the magnificence of false realities, screw reality. Live in it but just as we've been blessed with the ability to dream go into other real or unreal worlds to enjoy life

There was a time in my youth around age 11 or 12 where I drew comic books for myself, at some point I sold them for around a dollar each but I made no profit from it however I enjoyed creating them for myself

>>37007157
I've read tons of philosophy, and know a lot about it, but I don't have any piece of paper saying I do, or which will convince a respectable school to let me study law or medicine there. Or teach philosophy.

>>37007202
True. I was convinced as a kid that a philosophy degree was utterly worthless, though.

>>37007203

I would if I had any creative talent or personal initiative.

Depression makes every hobby or interest seem like a waste of time.

If you really wanted to you could make YouTube videos and lecture philosophy to the whole world.

Don't be a KEK my dude, be water my friend.

>>37007222
I mean no doubt STEM, business, and medical degrees are probably better in terms of ability to get you gainfully employed, but having ANY bachelor's degree is always going to be better than not having one.

>>37007241
Maybe. Maybe. But a good cam and microphone costs money. I haven't even tried that route, though, so I can't say you're wrong.

OP have you considered becoming a classical musician? Shit field but at least it's worth dedicating yourself and your time to

>>37006854
I feel the same, everything requires too much effort and nothing is really satisfying.
I guess it's just waiting to die for me.

Only musical instrument I ever "played" was drums when I was forced into band in middle school. I was fucking terrible at it, and hated it.

So yeah probably not going to work out in my case.

>>37007259
True. I just was never left with that impression growing up, so I pursued things I thought were adult and merit-based, like business and administration, only to discover they were based completely on vanity and politics.

I need to go back to school for what I love, but I'm already struggling enough without student loans.

>forced into band in middle school

Ouch, sorry to hear that. They sent a string quartet to my elementary school and the sound absolutely captivated me, music is the one thing I have to look forward to any more.

Going through life feels like you're equipped with pic related while everyone else sails through on their electric/gas chainsaw motors of good families and healthy brain chemistry

The truth is that the normies don't all have some natural affinity or interest in whatever they may have decided to pursue. But they do have discipline.

Well there's one thing i've learned over the years and it's to stop being a giant FAGGOT
