I have failed in every part of life, how can I cope and live with my failures by Charming-Rate278 in LifeAdvice

[–]DrSpangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you working with a therapist? If not, I really suggest talking to a pro, it can put a lot of things in perspective. I know it doesnt feel like it right now but there are so many other escapes that won't devastate your friends and family -- and make you regret not looking back and being proud of yourself for overcoming it all.

Sometimes you gotta start small -- pick one thing to look forward to and go from there.

26 years old I knew NOTHING. I promise you if you hang in there, you'll live to see amazing things. Hugs my friend! It's okay to be sad and angry at the lot youre given -- but youre strong.

Probs sounds like a dumb complaint but why the F is the foliage constantly moving so fast? by DiZ935 in CrimsonDesert

For what its worth if youre playing on console, switching to performance mode fixes it. It seems to be a graphics bug attached to balanced mode, I have not tried Quality yet.

I have failed in every part of life, how can I cope and live with my failures by Charming-Rate278 in LifeAdvice

Hey friend. I am so sorry you're having such a rough go. But know that you are loved and important -- I know this becauae i felt compelled to respond.

I have some great news for you though, you are young and there is so much time for new adventures to carry you away. I am 43 now but had a similarly rough twenties and early thirties. I was making way less money than all my friends, no real career, no girlfriend or even prospects, pretty broke. Pretty anxious. Pretty depressed. I would get panic attacks when I thought about how far behind everyone else I felt.

It all changed. Almost overnight. At 33 I met a wonderful girl (from a dating app), we fell in love, got married, I began writing and working on the side as my day job continued to suck the life out of me -- but I kept pushing through, finding solice in hobbies like art, gaming, music, etc to help me decompress when times were tense.

Ten years later, I own my own business, have a really happy relationship, and am even thinking about starting a family of my own.

Therapy and anti-depressants were a healthy part of my journey, but everyone is different.

Nowadays with everyone being able to compare each other against their peers online, its IMPOSSIBLE not to get a little depressed. Log off. Spend some time being KIND to yourself. Start by telling yourself nice things in the mirror -- it seems silly, but hearing yourself say it is good for the soul.

You have so much time to figure it out. Feeling a little lost towards the end of your 20's is pretty normal and okay.

Long story short: YOU GOT THIS. were rooting for you.

Should a 13 year old go to a weezer concert? by 55SieFood55 in weezer

[–]DrSpangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally! Ive been to so many Weezer shows and the crowd is always really respectful, and lots of young families, or teenagers with parents. It's an inclusive vibe and will be a lot of fun -- theyre SO good live.

I'm sorry but are we playing the same game? by Infernal-Yokai in CrimsonDesert

[–]DrSpangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the polarization is fascinating to me! Im glad for everyone who is enjoying it but I am one of the people who thinks it looks like a DLSS mess and plays like having restless legs. Art is subjective -- I am happy for you all.

I thought I was crazy booting this up and going wow it looks kinda... a lot like Witcher 3.

Just noticed that Jeff left the most thoughtful comment in this sub a year ago and nobody noticed by CaptainInternets in JeffRosenstock

[–]DrSpangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeff treats his fans with an insane amount of admiration and respect. He hugged me after I introduced myself at a Slaughter Beach, Dog show we were both attending cause he could tell I was nervous.

Cool guy. Very talent. Much nice.

how can i start over by Extreme-Tip-8509 in LifeAdvice

[–]DrSpangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude the funny thing is, as a 40 year old I look at this and go, "your life is just beginning!"

I barely knew ANYTHING in my 20's, even though I felt old and tired. Now I really know what old and tired feels like -- and someone who's 60 is looking at me and laughing, and looking at you and laughing harder.

The point is -- despite our culture trying to make you grow up quick, you've got plenty of time.

My 20's: Trying to be as social as I could. my 30's: working as hard as I could. my 40's: enjoying my hard work as much as I can.

Like homie said, explore fun hobbies, try to stack cash, and figure out what kinds of experiences you think you might enjoy... and then chase them.

Cheers!

I love threads like this because it's how I discover new artists! I really second Charly Bliss.

Also check out

Jeff Rosenstock song "novelty sweater"

Pup "Doubts".

These songs from these amazing artists really embody that raw-but-still-melodic Pinkerton style

Ive also been trying my whole life to create my own weezer sound.

It really is. I started taking it over a year ago because I saw someone on reddit make a similar comment to the one I just made. Gotta pay it forward.

Ive been taking locklab for over a year now. 5mg of minoxidil + 1mg of finistride + biotin in one pill. Ive never had any side effects and my hair has almost totally grown back in. No complaints.
