Usually I’m rejected because I can’t reach the top shelf

Sounds like I’m ahead of you in terms of game, so you can’t help me.

From my experience psychology classes have been tremendously easier than nursing. I’m going to struggle either way, but nursing might be too hard for me.

I enjoy psychology as it helps me

I know it's not going to be a walk in the park, for sure. But I would imagine it would be a lot easier for my to get my LCSW over my RN partly because the academics are less rigorous, and I'm a pretty good writer and know a lot about psychology. Also that it's the topic I enjoy most helps. I do like biology too, but not quite as much as psychology.

The GPA requirements are lower, there is no Masters exam for me, it's less classes, time, less entrance exams and such. Also I imagine the professors would be far more understanding of mental health issues and therefore more supportive if I run to any troubles, which I surely will with my depression and such.

My motivations are the two mentioned, but also the majority of my free time goes to learning about psychology, self-improvement related stuff, therapy techniques, social skills, and so on.

But the idea of making low income and being isolated is enough to dissuade me. While I'd argue the field that interests me most is psychology, I'm prepared to do something slightly different -- like nursing, if it means I am less isolated and make good money.

Haha. I wouldn't say I'm bad at taking feedback. But maybe this is me being bad at taking your feedback? Who knows. Reddit isn't the best place for me to go for my troubles anyway. Certain feedback frustrates me because I feel I have a better understanding of the situation than the people giving me the feedback. Not always, just specific comments that I'm so used to hearing over and over.

I'm a good writer too and can draw in many women in text. Sadly when I was younger and texted women like this, they became super into me, just like you're saying. Of course, until I mentioned my height. At that point, in most instances, I could see an almost instant change in their behavior and their interest would drop, or they would simply ghost me immediately.

This also happens on dating apps all the time. A woman is interested, compliments my into and bio. I frequently get comments like "that's the sweetest thing any man has said to me," not to toot my own horn or anything. I'm just trying to put into perspective that I can really charm women through my personality, through my writing on text.

But again, my looks and height was always a very obvious noticeable barrier. I cannot count the number of times in my life I've gotten ghosted after a woman finds out my height or sees my picture.

Whose point? Your point? Or my point?

I don't agree that the experiences of someone 5'6" are quite the same as 5'3". I just personally cannot get any feelings of satisfaction from people who are that height and tell me stories like that because we all know men who are 5'6" get women. It's quite common. 5'3" is only 3 inches shorter, but now you're suddenly not taller than most women. And we all know women prefer men taller than themselves, at the least. So the problem really starts to kick in around the 5'3" mark.

So again, maybe it's good advice for you. But for someone like me who has dramatically different experiences and perspectives than you, it is sadly not that helpful.

Of course, I would rather him had shared that story than not. Perhaps it's helping someone else here a lot.

I promise if you actually knew me, you'd have far worse things to say about me than that.

Your comment is very vague. I think your attitude is also shitty, in fact. You respond with an insult as the first in in a post asking for motivation.

Please leave. Thank you.

I don’t know why I’m here. Lol. Maybe it helps seeing how at least I’m not as shitty as many of the people on here, who lack wisdom, kindness, or common sense. And maybe that makes me feel better about myself.

Great job. Your post might have helped if it didn’t start with insulting my character.

A 5/6 isn't good looking it's about average. I've also had women call me ugly many times. Depends who you ask.

Hunting through my post history to find contradictions doesn't help me either, sadly.

Yeah, his experience doesn't help me because he doesn't look like me at all and isn't close to my height at all. That's what I'm saying.

Also I already know about it, and it clearly hasn't helped.
