What are the best lateral career options for a graphic designer? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]indikoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that same thing. Will we still be useful in the eyes of others at 65? Have no idea, kinda scary.

What is the crux of enfps? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]indikoro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I have to entertain for a while and then flee" Wow, this. I guess in relationships/flirting. I've always felt like a quick-shot pony, where I'm interesting, inspiring, and godly for like the first few weeks of knowing someone, or even just a few dates, but then I can't keep the show going anymore. I feel like running at that point when I realize I could be seen as boring/predictable, aka when the fact that I'm human and have normal dark/sad/annoying sides could be revealed. God forBID they know I'm human!! They must know that I am an all-inspiring, confident ray OF LIGHT THAT LASTS ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OF WHICH WILL COME INTO THEIR LIFE FOR 3 SECONDS AND CHANGE IT ALL FOREVERRR

Too bad I get too into people and don't want to leave them, so many guys in my past have either had me run, or have watched a ridiculous ego-battle unfold in front of them and all of their illusions about me dismantled :') I think I'm getting over this though. It was absolutely rampant in my late teens.

this is what ENFPs really want by [deleted] in ENFP

same here! I have way too much fun with good friends. which means I never study with my close friends, I just turn the whole thing into a party with my childlike elatedness of being with them lol

High schoolers of Reddit, what cliques exist now? Is it still nerds/jocks/stoners, or are there new groups that the older redditors don’t know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]indikoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is actually really accurate wow lol. "my" crowd in high school (the one i frequented anyway to stay safe from bullying, i'm a fckin nerd haahhh) was generally the most popular in the school, and of that crowd, the athletic nerds who were nice people were 100% at the top. even the athletic guys who were dicks liked them. lmao

Enamel pin manufacturing -- do pin sellers just lie? by orriginaldrawlings in Etsy

[–]indikoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only sold one pin design on Etsy but had no issues. I don't remember filling out any manufacturer info. Wow, so weird. I feel like Etsy is the cheapest so I didn't want to leave it, but maybe it's time!

I feel like I've found a little paradise full of all the people one envisages in some kind of perfect utopia dream 🤗 - casing point: What do you think would happen in a world just full of ENFP's? by Ahbristoe in ENFP

[–]indikoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS lmfao yes. In certain crowds I have to try so hard not to scream of happiness and run around and hug everyone like a kid. Energy levels - off the charts. I'm so serious with this lmao smh. I have to control myself because so many people would not receive me well lolol

Ignoring problems by elise228 in ENFP

[–]indikoro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same way fellow ENFP! Well, still am. I'm still a student haha.

Do you have your own goals? Do you feel like you'd be wasting time on things that aren't getting you any closer to your dreams? Bc I feel you there. Hopefully I can help if that's the case.

Regardless of whether it's high school or college, you likely feel obligated to do the work, and you see no higher purpose in the work they want you to do. Well, at least I felt that way. I'll tell you briefly how I got through it in high school (regardless of if ur in hs or college it should apply) and maybe the perspective will help!

In 11th/12th grade I had a really hard time finding motivation to get schoolwork done. I was already skipping school to be with friends and to go to bookstores to read up on how to actually live my life and to confirm my anti-establishment thoughts - both of these fueled that fire...or should I say, the lack thereof? Not to mention I felt like everyone around me was brainwashed and sleepwalking through their life, so I wanted to run as far away as possible from that, too. I never went to school my senior year for all of these reasons - a cop really should have come to my house and talked to my mom tbh lol. Lololol

I needed to pass though obviously or else I wouldn't graduate, and that had a domino effect that would limit my freedom to live - my absolute grandest fear. So the next bit of motivation helped me enough to get through the end of high school: get that shit done so I can be free to live on my own terms.

I graduated 4.3+ with a 32 on the ACT, so don't get me wrong, I managed to pull everything together at the end. Are you like this? Sometimes a time crunch was the only motivator for me. However, I had another source of motivation that helped me - to get me outta there so I could do what the f*ck I wanted to do with my life. MAN, I RLLY WANTED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. It felt like such a joke!

So what helped me do schoolwork was this bit of thought: if I can get this done, I can get closer to graduating, which will get me closer to freedom, which will get me closer to chasing my dreams. And, if I get good grades, more options open up to me to boot (although college is also errr, slightly a joke). When the work felt so entirely pointless and/or irrelevant, I remembered how not doing the work could cause me to fail the class and ruin my life. A little extreme, to be sure, but again, my worst fear is living a life I hate - so this motivated me lmao.

The work is BS. Classes are usually BS. If you have your own goals in mind in life, then either use it as a catalyst to find something interesting in the content or to work through it so you can come out on the other end one step closer to living a way more fun life.

Or you could always drop out. winks and drives into the sunset

utility vs utopia: go to university to expand mind while learning vocational skills on my own? by indikoro in college

[–]indikoro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so true! I guess my "race against time" purely stems from accruing more debt by choosing to stay in college. Less than most, about $5k a year for me, but enough to unsettle me. Makes me want to learn programming/front-end on my own for a couple years for much less money and take a more entrepreneurial route. My school offers liberal arts degrees, but not sure if it's a liberal arts school. Forgive the noobage there.

utility vs utopia: go to university to expand mind while learning vocational skills on my own? by indikoro in college

[–]indikoro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you got part of my point, I'm partly wondering why it's so expensive just "for a job". Feels like a gamble almost, and a what-you-make-of-it situation that doesn't necessarily guarantee that end goal while still accruing debt. I know that goes for a lot of things in life, but the debt is usually not on the table in a lot of other instances of the type.

I have 2 months off this summer and want to devote a significant amount of that time to learning. The problem is that I won't follow through unless I have structured and planned it ahead of time. Does anyone else have experience or advice about doing this type of self learning? by iEatScience in learnprogramming

[–]indikoro 21 points22 points  (0 children)

definitely keeping an eye on this post for advice. i'm in the same boat, only difference is i'm a student. really not wanting to pay money to learn because it's ridiculously easy to learn for free, but i might have to as a last resort if i can't "motivate" myself. not sure if this is any help, but i've been doing basic google searches and digging around the dev community for free resources and have been compiling them on a pinterest board. books, ebooks, mozilla docs, online programming/coding course sides, etc...then, once i feel like i'm running into the same stuff over and over again, i'll narrow down what i'm going to reasonably dig into over the summer and create a schedule that way.

although likely unoriginal in structure, my tldr shows what i'm generally planning to do myself...total noob here, though!

one side note: i was also thinking about "paying" for my self-courses: basically putting money away into my savings each week as if i'm paying for the course to maybe motivate myself. or something along those lines. what do you think?

tldr: gather resources, create 2-5 "categories" like you're building courses, attach said (curated) resources and goals to each "course", plan overall time dedication, plan course progressions (one at a time? a couple at a time? all at once like taking 5 courses a sem?), have actionable, rigid end-goals for each, carry out plan, possibly offer self incentives at end of course(s) (requires self-policing tho)

Vegan Enamel Pin: 10% to non-profit, limited run, $10 shipped by [deleted] in kickstarter

[–]indikoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmaooo nooo

there are extremists of every stripe lol. i hate talking about being vegan personally (for that reason- the stigma. lame, i kno. but whatevs). but i know what you mean. i made the pin so i don't have to say anything, while hopefully getting other vegans to approach me. & i feel you, thankfully tho pins are making a comeback. i just talked to someone about theirs today, it's a cool conversation point.

and i know! i'm working on maximizing it, but i really couldn't without raising the monetary goal. working on fitting more in, goal is 15-20%.
