>No one wants to hire whenever I apply for jobs
Is that really true? Or you don't want to lower your standards by taking jobs that seem beneath you.
As I said earlier, obstacles are there for you to clarify. Actually have an intention when you are applying for a job. If you have that desire first, then you wash toilets for a month, search for something else at the same time, and when another opportunity arises you go to another job and so on.
You see, the inside is all that matters and is what directs you. You have the clarity, the desire and know what you must become, and then the opportunities arise and you just do the work. It will always give you the perfect opportunity to get you where you want to be.

>>34524632
Fuck motivation. It is a short term strategy.
Indeed, absolutely nobody is saving you. These messages from me are probably the best "saving" you will ever receive.
Start admiring, start dreaming, start desiring with passion.
Watch your animes, your movies, read your stories, whatever moves you. Find truly admirable characters, people, stories and love them. You will naturally then find and build your own beautiful life.

But don't get it confused, without work and actually doing stuff, you will go nowhere. So, some habits to start while you begin dreaming and desiring

>start subdividing tasks into small enough bites that you can do

In my experience this doesn't actually help. I struggle to initiate tasks even when they can be done in like 5 minutes easily

>>34524630
Sometimes it's as simply as making a reply in a thread on /v/ where I'm invested in giving an anon a informative answer: Even if typing it out would take almost no time at all, if I am emotionally or mentally invested in viewing the reply as important for me to do, I will get anxiety around doing it

>>34524459
no you don't, otherwise you'd do them

>>34523944
If something takes only a minute, do now. If it takes longer, give it a minute anyway.

>>34527680
But I do and I can't, that's the problem

>b-but then you'd do them if you REALLY wanted to!

Some of these are things I would have earned thousands of dollars from doing, had I done them, and I could have done them easily, and I gave up on other opportunities just to work on these things, yet I was still unable to sit down and commit time to doing them just because of irrational anxiety, and I still beat myself up about having not done them

It's absolutely not an issue of me not wanting to do them. I do.

>>34527749
But how?

>>34526283
>muh mental illness
This is what happens when a woman goes to a psychiatrist. She makes 100 threads on /adv/ about how mentally ill she is.
You're not mentally ill.

>>34528924
Lol I sure hope I'm not

>>34529024
You're not. As far as i understand you're not fighting shadow people and not hearing voices telling you to kill.

>>34529045
I do hear voices and see shadows but uh... I think that's like normal

stop thinking about perception of mental illness. if you want to get better, do things that will make your mental health improve. i cared about being perceived as a larper until i actually got a reason to get mentally healthy and started fighting against my illness because it was fucking me over and taking away my ability to get what i truly wanted. but you can't make yourself want something this badly, it will just happen to you maybe.

>>34527750
Keep giving the advice, but stop having expectations. Your control ends where your behavior ends. It's your moral duty to give the advice, it's theirs to listen to the advice. What you're doing is trying to reach beyond your duties and into theirs. The solution isn't to abandon your duties, it's to content yourself with them. Take solace in the fact that you did your part, and leave the rest up to them.

Also, you can't rule out the possibility that you've planted something in them, even if they don't listen. You and several other people might have all given them the same advice, they may have ignored all of it, but something may dawn on them as long as a decade later. You have to be patient, you can't expect immediate results, so it's better to be content with the possibility of results in a distant future.

>>34527750
Maybe they don't need your advice OP
How do you feel when someone keeps nagging at you to change things where you don't see the need to change anything?

>>34527750
Just never offer unsolicited advice. If they asked for it then give advice, otherwise do nothing.

>>34527750
When it turns out you're right and they didn't listen you have to say "I told you so", preferably multiple times, so they know that they're stupid and you're smarter than them and they should listen to you from now on.

>>34528450
I've listened to your advice, it was good. See? Wasn't that hard

>>34527716

>How to defeat porn addiction?
The problem is not porn, it was never porn to begin with. The problem is that masturbation is the only thing keeping you from killing yourself, and somehow, you want to be rid of this. The real problem is life suffering, not masturbation. If a person hates their life, has no intimacy, no meaning, no hope, and one habit gives temporary relief, they will attach themselves to it and never let it go.

>>34528789
It's not the porn itself that's the problem. It's that you see some shit you don't want to see ever in ads and recommended on porn sites. That's the real damaging shit.

Does this answer your question

>>34528872
This (sort of).

The thing about addictions (like fapping) is that it's not done out of hedonism. It is done as an instant mood corrector. You are feeling anxious, depressed, lonely. You fap, you feel better.

You never develop healthy coping skills. You never decide "I want a girlfriend, I'd better work out". And just fap your troubles away. You never decide "that school project is stressing me out because the deadline is getting close and I haven't got started", you just fap to feel relaxed. So your entire life becomes dealing with stress by fapping while problems pile up instead of addressing the causes of the stress.

>>34527885
>because the only thing stopping me right now is not wanting to inflict pain on my family
That is a good reason, Ive been to 2 separate wakes for dudes I knew in HS and seeing their parents and family members absolutely distraught and destroyed over their beloved son/brother killing themselves will always stick with me. That was my first solid reason to not end myself. However, it is not sufficient because you need a more personal reason that does not depend on others. For that, I recommend reading something you find profound. As goofy as it is for me to say, reading the VN "Wonderful Everyday" also really helped me develop the will to keep living. Its central theme about being happy no matter how absolutely fucked life gets really stuck with me. For some it is too pretentious or too pornographic but it really changed my outlook on life, its probably just my personal projection that made it so significant to me lol. I also like thinking about Nietzsche's eternal recurrence. If you think that when you die, you will relive the same life again with no prior memory, you really start to try and change your life for the best. Having a solid passion has helped me a lot to, I use my guitar as a crutch to stop worrying about all the bullshit that makes me anxious and lift weights to let ouy my anger. Take what I say with a grain of salt as ive been getting over this shit quite recently and am probably slightly insane. But still I feel much better now that im not engaging in serious suicidal ideation constantly.

>>34527885
>Shy shouldn't I end it if every day is just suffering?
Because that suffering is coming from you, not from anything external to you. This means two things. One, is that you can put an end to the suffering if you will to. Two, is that the suffering won't stop at the moment of death, it will simply follow its cause, which is your own mind.

>>34527885
I'm in the same spot. I dont enjoy anything anymore, only reason im alive is cause my parents.

Ok kill yourself go to a bridge and look at the edge then you'll see that you don't want to kill yourself I had a similar situation once a friend legit just gave me his gun and told me you want to die then shoot yourself I didn't want to end it anymore

>>34528968
>Ok kill yourself go to a bridge and look at the edge then you'll see that you don't want to kill yourself
Or maybe, he will actually do it.


Don't do that OP. You don't want to die, your life is miserable and that's why you are staring death in the eyes. Don't kill yourself. Life is pretty.

If you're native European, Poland. If you're not, France.

From Belarus.
>culture, language and mentality
It is about the same different culture.
Frances taxes seem a bit high, inheritance/gift too, I understand that migrants are only a hardship around the Paris area. At the same time Poland with its expensive housing and 23% vat doesnt look too appealing either. What is it now, about the same cost as France but Poland.
It might still be better to move to France for a better climate.

One year is not enough. Six months will get you started to become a code monkey aka. same level as asking ChatGPT to generate code. You need to be a full stack developer to develop an app. Even then, you need a mac or iPhone to make money because Windows and Android users never pay for anything.

Solo app dev isn't profitable like it was ten years ago. Apple takes a giant cut of every sale you make and you will bend over backwards for their regulations.

Your problem scope is too ambitious and too vague. These aren't problems you can solve on your own.

>>34519086
>Goldberg
Bait thread, but I'll answer anyway.
There's no way a single app can fix every problem in the world. Hell, even if you have a good vision, skills and design knowledge, you'd be lucky to be able to fix even one, like making an app that is legit helpful and well-designed to fix the problem or situation you identify.

So for everyone thinking the same, try to reduce the scope and focus on one thing at a time. If it ends up being useful for more stuff that is a win, but you can't hug the world with your legs, as we say down here.

I mean I have some experience in web coding. I 've developed an app that serves as an urban transport tracking system and that had good feedback in my hometown .So I was wondering if any of you could give me any idea .I dont plan to make smth divine or unique .I just want to solve a problem that many big cities or small towns are facing .For me it was the lack of transport info.

>>34528913
There's only so much i can do with those eating disorder psychos. I tell them they look ok 100 times and get argued with every time. Eventually i just start learning into it and telling them they need to lose weight. Because why not.

slightly fat maybe, very fat means she will have loose skin so not hot

Famous Visual Artists Who Started Late

Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson Moses): Began painting seriously at age 78 when arthritis made embroidery too difficult, creating over 1,500 paintings.
Henri Rousseau: Worked as a toll collector until his forties before pursuing painting full-time.
Alfred Wallis: A fisherman who started painting at 70 for amusement after his wife died.
Vincent van Gogh: Only started painting at 28 and had his first exhibition at 32.
Claude Monet: While he painted younger, he did not establish his signature, acclaimed style until his 40s.
Beatrice Wood: Began her career in pottery at age 40.
Noah Purifoy: Started creating his renowned found-art sculptures at 72.
Mary Cassatt: Did not exhibit with the Impressionists until she was 34.

>>34527066
Why pay artists when there is now free Ai art? That is an important question to ask before you yourself invest money and time into your education. If you simply want to buy a book about art and draw as a hobby though that seems fine.

I dont have any background in art to give any feedback based on experience but my take on devoting yourself to being an artist and making that full time:

>you need a signature style to whatever medium you are using that is unique and marketable
>you need to accumulate physical art pieces that can be shown by a gallery and eventually sold to people who like your art
>your end goal is to find a patron to support what you do

personally I would stay away from anything like statues (stone work, wood carving, etc) because not many people in the world have the space or need for stuff like that. Paintings are the low hanging fruit because everyone has a home or apartment with blank walls they want to fill. If paintings arent your thing then keep what I said about wall art in mind and try to build around that concept.

also the more unusual and complicated the process you use to make said art the more interesting it will be to potential patrons, buyers, etc. People want something they can show off and brag about how much time and effort it took to make that piece.

There isn't much a conflict: if it's good for sleeping, it'll be good for sex.

You should sleep on your side. For a mattress, choose one that supports your spine all the way along its length, so that (lying on your side with a correct-height pillow) your spine is completely straight and horizontal. If the mattress is either too soft or too hard, your spine will be sagging in the middle.

I'm a big fan of memory foam over reflex foam myself. Latex is also a great choice. But some people have different preferences.

>>34525492
My wife and I had very different preferences for mattresses; I liked firm (back support is important for me, blue collar) she liked soft (she's a soft lady, loves comfort). We settled for a pillow top with medium firmness and both grew to really enjoy it. Plenty firm for me, she can still sink into the bed, and it's just the right balance of cushioning and supportive to handle any position we want to fuck in.

Costco mattresses ftw
