Boo! Then I'd run away
I know you're desperate. Do not get credit cards. You can hang on a few more years to be able to have nice things. The argument that you need to start building credit is rationalization. Your friends will love you even if you can't buy nice gifts. You're not smarter than every other delusional person who insists they can magically pay back more than they earn. Don't be stupid.
"Open the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur"
Crypto currency is not a flash in the pan. Buy Bitcoin!!!
I would add "Sell at 60k" (I know it topped at over 68) and "Avoid MTGox!"
Big Macs are not a good source for sustenance. Yes, they are tasty, no just don't.
Don't drown in self pity
Don't go to university directly after school. Get an apprenticeship as a software developer or better yet, as a webdeveloper in a company that creates websites for customers.
Get a car! Be independent! This is the freedom you so desperately need. With a finished apprenticeship and a possibility to leave your old life behind... The rest will fall into place. Everywhere is better than staying in the pity puddle that is your hometown.
That weird compulsion to always be in pursuit of a relationship might be gender dysphoria.
Drop out of college to enter the workforce as you were not properly prepared for college and you still don't know what career you want. Don't join the military. Save up for a car.
You have ADHD. If you don't do something about it, it will undermine you your whole life and you'll blame yourself.
Also, take up running. You're really good at it, and future you wishes she took it up when she was your age
This is your last chance to admit your feelings before you drift apart and you never talk to her again.
Also, be nicer to grandma and spend more time with her, you have far less time than you've convinced yourself you have.
Take that job in Nigeria do a few years and you should be set. Don't overthink it.
I know what you're going through. Trust me it'll get worse. But afterwards it's good you didn't do it. It gets sooooo much better just a year or so after. You'll be happy just sit tight for a bitband do what you think is right.
Be kind to yourself
- you're a worthless excuse for human being
- drop your college course rn, maths and physics are shit for nerds don't delve into it unless you really like it (you don't)
- get therapy (call your dad and lay out all the shit you that's been bugging you)
- after you have tried your best at p 3, get on psychotropic meds asap. figure it out on your own lol
- practice singing
The dad one hit me. Did that yesterday and today he practically pretends it didn't happened. But yeah, I think this is a good advice for the youngesters, confront your parents if needed. I wish I didn't wait till 25 to do it. Hope you are okay now, or getting better, even if by a little day by day. AND PRACTICE YOUR SINGING
“You’re right!”
"It's all just going to keep going."
Do NOT buy that speaker system.
"Don't fucking do that, dumbass!"
She'll come, just wait a little longer.
Trust your instinct that the uni course you've chosen isn't right for you.
