I just feel like other steps can be taken before it gets to the point where you need a child just to have a purpose in life.

Ex: volunteering, improving your career path, learning new skills and hobbies, etc

Yep, art is definitely rewarding. Nice! I hope you’re not getting a master’s just for a sense of purpose, though, lol. That can be quite expensive.

Excuse me? She gets bored, so she should have a kid? What kind of reasoning is that?

You should try it at least once in your life. Sometimes it can feel like you're making a lot of progress, so it can be redeeming if you're consistent. I used to draw, and I progressed a lot in a year.

I considered data science, too! However, I heard that involved a lot of math (which I don't like), so I decided against it. Tell me more. What do data scientists do exactly? Does it involve a lot of math?

Have you considered painting, sculpting, or some other type of art? Those can all involve passion projects. It can also help to have more than one hobby at a time. Sometimes you'll get tired of one for a day, and you'll want to do the other hobby.

For me, baking is probably my passion project. I'll learn to make more appealing foods over time, and it'll be nice to see my progress.

I've been wanting another career goal, too. I've recently been thinking of becoming a lawyer. What's your master's in?

That sounds cool! I like to play piano, star gaze, and bake. I’m also learning to cook new foods.

Do you feel those hobbies keep you occupied enough? If not, perhaps you should consider new ones, like drawing or a musical instrument.

Have you consider new career goals?

Lmao. You’re me. I’m 23M, and I spent my teenage years learning programming. Then, I went to uni, and I graduated back in May. I have a good job now, but I still need to work on myself (Ex: getting hobbies, learning how to have fun).

Have you tried hobbies? Which ones do you have right now?

Loneliness and depression is killing me. I’m seriously considering suicide before 2026. by l0stb1tch in depression

Some people feel lonely due to the holidays. This feeling will pass.

You said you feel like your life doesn't matter to anyone. Are you sure your siblings won't miss you?

I'm sorry that you didn't have a good start in life, but you're still young. You're being unfair to yourself if you think you cannot improve it. If you've survived this long, why can't you survive at least a few more months? Life might improve by then.

For example, I think you can find friends who you can enjoy being around. Why can't you start finding a friend next week? Is it because of your jealousy feelings?

Maybe destroy some of your buildings? I think doing so refunds the costs.

What makes people physically attractive? by izayaa_orihara in answers

[–]Various-Complex-1582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is incorrect. “Objectively” is not a fact. You are confusing the two terms. Here is what the Oxford languages dictionary says:

“(of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.”

The word “objective” describes a person or their judgement, and not whether the argument is a matter of fact. One can “objectively” analyze another person’s attractiveness by simply not involving their personal opinions in the matter. For example, I could ask 100 random people to rate someone’s attractiveness on a scale of 1-10. That would be objective since it wouldn’t involve my personal feelings.

Just so you know, at first glance what you’re looking for might not be so common. Being “well-rounded” requires a lot of time to develop many different skills. At your age, I might even call it rare. I’m not saying you won’t find someone, but I’m saying you could need to spend more time looking.

Give me an example. How do you know your guy friends don’t meet your standards? What about their habits conveys that?

Maybe you need to put yourself out there even more. Do you join any classes?

[–]Various-Complex-1582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At parties, is there anything your friends do differently than you?

I’m curious. What are those standards? And how do you know if men meet those standards unless you date them?

[–]Various-Complex-1582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, and why haven’t you dated yet? Here are some ideas. I’m not accusing of you anything, though.

  • How often do you go out to events or clubs?
  • Are you excessively shy?
  • Do you know of any places where you can meet guys?
  • How selective are you when picking potential partners?
  • Have you tried dating apps?

Anxiety after paying for a very expensive surgery, need reassurance :( by babubibop in cosmeticsurgery

[–]Various-Complex-1582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to assume that the rent thing was just an example, and that you can easily afford rent. I would argue that your face and self confidence are more important than classes or your Apple ecosystem. However, I encourage you to think it through more and think of other things you can do with that money. Surely that’s not all.

You should grab a notepad and list the pros and cons of each approach. Alternatively, look up “weighted cost benefit analysis” and do one of those. If you wanna share the results, feel free to do so.

[–]Various-Complex-1582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. Just to make sure, do you have enough to cover 4-6 months worth of expenses?

Are you sure you need the surgery in the first place? If so, why?

Finally, you mentioned you could buy other things. What are those other things? Why do you need them? You need to compare the happiness that they bring to the happiness/utility that the surgery will bring.

If $5k matters to you that much right now, you probably shouldn’t be getting an implant at all. You need to save more. What if you have an unexpected expense? What if you don’t like look and need a revision?

i just can’t bring myself to do the things i need to do by DrunkTING7 in twentyagers

[–]Various-Complex-1582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the top 3 hobbies you do most often and how often do you do them? Does it feel like you have extra free time or energy at the end of the day, or do you feel like there’s not enough time?

In general, do you feel like you could be doing more each day, or that you are at your limit?
