my girlfriend is genuinely extremely retarded and has very low executive function. she struggles with most entry level work, both doing it and handling the stress of needing to do it.
what are some actually easy as fuck jobs that she could do, that she would hopefully be able to provide and live for herself on? WFH would be nice too, but not necessary.

i just want her to be happy but also not completely dependent on me. it drowning.

Only fans foot fetishist supplier

lmao she unironically tried this before we got together. the "any girl can be successful on OF/selling feet pics" is a meme and not true at all.
>>
>>34834687
OF is extremely saturated and not worth doing, Not to mention you can lose your dignity/face social consequences.
>>
>>34834678
is she creative?
what does she like doing?
>>
>>34834678
Human interaction jobs to train socially first maybe? Since most of the stress is probably from interacting with others and meeting their expectations etc
>>
>>34834678
Find her something under the table that doesn't have a lot of time pressure. A list of tasks to finish by the end of the day nothing to do with customers. Has she tried janitorial work?
>>
>>34834678
Most entry job, like cleaning, cooking or restoration work can be pretty harsh. She possibly will do better with WFH jobs, maybe she could make draw comission, maybe some designing. 3D modelling can be really good if she enjoy it. I hope she can find something good
>>
>>34834678
oh the average woman.Idk tell her just walk into a place and ask for a job women are retarded.
>>
>>34834735
she's creative but incapable of creating or sticking to a functional schedule with deadlines. she's severely mentally ill and like i said has really poor executive function.
>>34834762
this is what we've tried. it has the opposite effect. her severe inferiority complex, people pleasing mindset, and compulsive thoughts and behaviors make it nearly unbearable even on a part time level. shes constantly overloaded during and after the day due to social fatigue and overanalysis. im not sure exposure therapy is going to work without a really good therapist, as much as i usually hate the idea of therapy.
>>
>>34834764
cleaning and janitorial work might be a good idea. under the table not so much, shes going to need benefits and make enough to live on her own.
health benefits especially. she really neglects her health and id like for her to be able to fix that at some point.
>>34834835
again these creative jobs are remarkably competitive and digital art like 3D modelling would certainly be out of cognitive bounds for her to learn. i dont think she could ever consistently sustain herself as an artist. 99% of people NOT held back my mental illness arent able to already.
>>34835043
she can get a job easily, its about having one that matches her cognitive profile, doesn't burn her out, and is able to sustain her if she were to live on her own.
as of right now we are trying pharmacy technician work with hope to get her in a WFH triage/insurance claims position. its an uphill battle and im just looking for alternate lines of work to suggest if she completely burns out or makes too many critical mistakes.

I can help her recover from what she is suffering from with immersion therapy.

suuure

1 month here with me in therapy and she will fly back and she will be healed.
>>
Wow she sounds just like me
>>
>>34834678
Nah you need to be asking yourself more this one question

If she wasn't giving you the pussy, would you be with her still? Would you be tolerating this retard behaviour and incompetency? Is this the type of effort and ability you want to be raising your kids?

If the answer is no and that the relationship would fizzle out without sex then bro.... You need to be real with yourself, and with her that you need to break it off.

Trust me. You don't want this person long term. My brother married someone like this, never worked a day in her life since marrying and was too lazy to even do housewife/keeping stuff. Lazy with the kids and palmed them off every chance she got whilst haemoraging money on retard shit. only to divorce him at the end of it, taking most of the house sale (most likely squandering it by now)

Did you get your gf off of 4chan?

>>34835550
>shes going to need benefits and make enough to live on her own.
You're kicking her out and want to end things? lol
If you get a severely mentally ill NEET as a gf, you pretty much just buy into being her provider, you should have known this is just how it works.
And if you are too poor to support the both of you, then you are not made for a woman like her.
>>
>>34834678
I appreciate that you're trying your best to help her and I know it's a big responsibility you're trying to shoulder, but from how direct and mapped out your responses are, I question your judgement here.
How old are you both and how long has this been going on for?
How did you meet and get in to this situation?
Aside from the need for money, why are you so focused on her getting a job as the solution to HER problem?
What's your living situation?
Do your "genuinely extremely retarded" girlfriend's parents help at all?
What's her current level of physical activity across a week?

Like you just pop up on 4chan asking for an exact solution to a big problem, acting like you know every single angle. It screams codependancy, and if you genuinely want to help her...

>... without a really good therapist, as much as i usually hate the idea of therapy...
...Why hasn't she seen a therapist? If things are really as bad as you're making them out to be, then get off 4chan and get some kind of professional help ASAP, because it doesn't sound like work is the solution. If you're afraid of her taking meds, you can ask for talk therapy or something like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - you can't be asking for her to work while believing she's to stupid for therapy.

I'd go further, but I'd rather know the details first to get a more objective view of things.

my gf told me today she has "level 1 autism" and it genuinely explains so much
shes my cute little autist
>>
>>34834678
unironically from the thread look into neurofeedback clinic with a licensed psychologist. Her brain doesn't sound balanced. I did it and it fixed so many issues for me.
