Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

You might not want this but I'm gonna keep it positive. From my point of view, you have nothing to lose. Take those chances you've been mulling over and just try for it. I dont know if you had any ambitions but now is the time to tape a rocket to your back and see if you'll make it before it explodes. Now is the time to trap executives on the walks to their cars for lunch and shove your skills in their face. Now is the time to create whatever has been living in the forgotten dunes of your mind. If you think this leap of faith would land better back with your father go back, if you think there is more unreachable opportunity where you are then stay put. I know its impossible with no money, but people have squared a circle before and now is the best time to do it. You have nothing to lose, let that free you and launch you to higher strata.
This is the advice you need OP. It’s going to feel like shit to take rejection after rejection. But the reality is that success is the 2000th attempt after 1999 rejections, but only if you’re actively trying something new each time. You can do it.
I'm sorry I'm I won't do that. I've being humiliated enough, and I've seen some inept people getting jobs, I guess I'm cursed.
I don't think you understand. What's skills? People want expensive studies skills, nobody wants middle school education with bad accent speaking their language. I won't stalk people just to be insulted or accused. You just said it, it's impossible.
Then say fuck it and watch Brackeys' Godot tutorials. Make games. You're in the perfect position and Godot is easy.
You said 1 year of unemployment, what were you doing while last employed? Those things count as skills too.
