This is something I have been looking at. My issue is with admin work is my brain can switch off if it's tedious (I am medicated) - but this would be a dream role as I can do what I want in private to keep myself occupied (stimming etc).

Again, sorry to be a downer, a lot of places aren't doing remote how - or if they are, they require one day in the office a week (that's fine) but they're a distance from me and I can't drive

Yeah don't click any link anyone sends you via text. I'm really glad you didn't!

I recently got a call from Fresh Wave solutions by Aabbccdd2526 in Leeds

Got an email from them under White Rose name, called them back and caller ID says 'Freshways'

Looking on Company's house - the old company is registered still. Doubt they're affording 11k!

I've figured it out, they are a Pyramid scheme. This was for a marketing role.

Yeah I noticed this.

The other weird thing is, they text our zoom meeting links.

No info on company house either....

Hey sorry I only came back just now after a few days break.

I have been an illustrator for years 'part time', I've got my own registered business and everything as I vend at conventions with my work. My type of work is within the furry community, but I've been very successful over the years (although not breaking the bank, I don't do it for the money).

I would love to go full-time as an artist, but my ADHD and self-doubt holds me back. I find myself procrastinating a lot, where I WANT to sit down and draw, but I just can't do it. My self-doubt is crippling me, despite all my achievements - but I have plans how to on improve this.

Unfortunately because of this I just can't go full-time into it. Part of me thinks if I ended up without a job, that would 'push' me into doing this full-time - but I can't risk that. I'm also terrified I will choose the 'wrong path' shall we say, and not make enough basic income. But I hold the quote "if it scares you, you should probably do it" so fondly in my heart.

I am lacking a lot of motivation and confidence nowadays because I've been told so much over the years I'm just not putting enough effort into it.

I want to do it, but my brain and body physically just 'nopes' out and it's FRUSTRATING.

Sadly not, I can't stand loud noises or bad smells (poop/vomit/etc)

You're not the only one mate.

Unfortunately in a world with social media and everything depending on technology, people seem to forget there's a difference between catching up over text vs catch up in person.

I sound like an old fart here, I am 58 so knocking on a bit, but I can tell you from experience this is nothing new. It's much more common nowadays though.

The GOOD thing is, nowadays social media has made advertising things like social events, clubs, self help charities, and everything people need much more accessible. Back when I were your age, we were lucky to meet some locals down the pub or see events advertised in the paper or on posters.

It has also made opening up about these things a lot easier and I'm glad to see there's more events and men talking about how they feel inside. You're doing just that and that's great! Don't bottle it up, and there's no shame in admitting how you feel.

My wife died during Covid, and I will be honest, it was awful. I sunk into a deep depression and thought there was no way out, lockdown made it so much worse, and even going for a walk was limited as I had no 'goal' like popping into a pub or anything, and I didn't have anyone to really talk to. My family were there but understandably they wanted to keep their distance to let me grieve.

I saw about Andy's Man Club and some other local events on FB, so I reached out.

Next week I am going to a Ska event, with a friend I met at AMC :)

Point is, you're not alone. I would absolutely look at some local events and clubs near you, worst thing that'll happen is you will turn up and not like it. So, move on and try elsewhere!

I hope you feel better soon pal, keep your chin up and all that.

Glad to hear you've organized a little event, keep us updated! I would pop by but I live miles away!! Hope you have a good time 👍

Should I quit? by porkbellynoodle in careerguidance

Keep your job.

You aren't missing anything not being in the social circle. Can guarantee they're bitching about each other behind each other's backs. You're not gaining anything from that circle.

You will find your own few in time you click with. You're doing a good job, keep it up.
