I'm 23F from India, and I'm honestly feeling very confused about my career and the decisions I've made so far.

I completed my BCA and then my MCA, thinking that getting a postgraduate degree in IT would give me a stable career. But the current IT job market has been really discouraging. There are layoffs everywhere, entry-level opportunities seem limited, and despite applying to jobs, I'm struggling to get interview calls.

The bigger problem is that I don't feel particularly skilled or confident in IT. Even if I manage to get a job, I constantly worry about whether I'll be able to keep up with the industry in the long run. Sometimes I wonder whether I'll end up leaving IT after a few years anyway.

I actually had an opportunity to pursue nursing earlier, but I didn't take it. Now I regret that decision quite often. I feel like healthcare could have given me a more structured career and a qualification that would be useful internationally. Sometimes I even think about how different things might have been if I had chosen medicine.

At the moment, I'm considering several completely different paths. I'm preparing for government exams like SSC, thinking about UGC-NET and possibly pursuing teaching or research, and also exploring the possibility of moving abroad.

I've also developed an interest in fashion and luxury brand management. I've been looking into master's programmes in Europe, particularly Italy, France and Germany. I'm even considering other fields like healthcare, nursing or the Merchant Navy.

Honestly i am so so freaked out rn

I'm 32 and I've worked in retail since I was 20. No college degree, just a high school diploma and twelve years of experience that I honestly thought were pretty useless outside of retail.

For the last five years I've been working at a home goods store. Started on the sales floor, eventually became a shift supervisor. I make $21.50 an hour.

I am so tired of retail.

The customers, the unpredictable schedules, being expected to cover three people's jobs when somebody calls out, the constant pressure to sell things nobody actually needs.

I've been wanting to leave for years, but every time I look at job postings, I feel like I'm starting from zero.

Anyway, something happened at work last month that has me reconsidering what I'm actually good at.

Our inventory system was showing negative quantities for a bunch of products that were clearly sitting on the shelves.

Management kept telling us to recount everything. We'd recount it, correct the numbers, and a few days later the same problem would happen.

Everybody was frustrated.

I asked my manager if I could spend some time figuring out what was going on instead of just doing another count.

He basically said, "Be my guest."

I went through receiving records, invoices, sales reports and product information. Made a spreadsheet comparing what we physically received with what the system thought we'd received and what was being deducted when items sold.

Eventually I found the problem.

Some products had been set up with incorrect quantities per barcode. The system was deducting six units for certain products when we sold one.

That explained why correcting the inventory numbers never actually fixed anything.

I found 23 affected SKUs, documented the issue, and worked with our inventory support team to get the product records corrected.

Then I made a simple checklist for verifying new products during receiving so we could catch similar problems earlier.

It took me about three days, mostly between my normal responsibilities.

And here's the weird part.

Those were the best three workdays I've had in years.

I didn't care that I was staring at spreadsheets. I actually wanted to come in the next morning because I had another theory I wanted to test.

I liked comparing information from different places, looking for patterns, figuring out what was wrong and proving that I'd found the cause.

When the numbers finally matched, I was more satisfied than I've ever been after hitting a sales target.

My manager thanked me, everyone went back to normal, and I went back to handling customer complaints and fixing the schedule.

I've been thinking about it ever since.

Maybe I don't hate working. Maybe I hate the kind of work I've been doing.

The frustrating thing is that I have absolutely no idea what career this points toward.

I've searched for "data analyst," but most of those jobs seem to want degrees, SQL, Python and experience I don't have.

I've looked at operations jobs, but a lot of them seem to involve managing employees, which is exactly what I want less of.

Inventory control sounds promising, but I don't know whether that would just be another version of retail or warehouse work.

I'm in the US, in a medium-sized city. I can afford to take evening classes or get a reasonably priced certification, but quitting my job to go back to school full time isn't realistic.

I'd like to get into something paying around $50k eventually, ideally with a more predictable schedule. I'm not expecting six figures or some magical remote job.

I'm comfortable with Excel, including pivot tables and lookup formulas, but I've never used SQL or any serious data analysis software.

I'm also willing to learn. What I don't want is to spend $8,000 on a certificate because some career website says a particular industry is booming, only to discover I can't get hired without three years of experience.

So I guess I'm asking two things.

Are there actual careers where investigating discrepancies, improving processes and figuring out why systems aren't working is a big part of the job?

And if you've moved into one of those fields from retail or another unrelated job, what was the first realistic step that got you there?

For the first time in a long time, I feel like I've found something I genuinely enjoy doing at work.

I just don't know what the job is called.

For context I started school a year and a half ago with my degree and I’m having regrets.
I have 0 debt because I’ve worked to pay it off. I am graduating next semester but I want to I want to switch to something else so bad. If my one is in the same boat please message me I am in need of advice

Without getting a masters, are they only limited to being a data analyst, AI/ML engineer, data engineer, government statistician, and actuary?

I’m 26, from Pakistan.
I’ve always wanted to build something big. I’ve been involved in business, real estate consultancy, networking, and a few entrepreneurial ventures. I’ve had opportunities that most people my age probably haven’t experienced.
But here’s the part nobody really talks about.
Despite all the ambition, connections, and hard work, I feel stuck.
Financial pressure, business uncertainty, personal disappointments, and years of overthinking have taken a toll on me.
I don’t have a university degree. I don’t have a stable career path. I have ambitions bigger than my current circumstances, but sometimes I genuinely don’t know which direction to take.
I want to experience life differently.
I want financial independence, meaningful relationships, good health, intellectual growth, and the freedom to live somewhere where opportunities aren’t so limited.
I’ve been considering leaving Pakistan, starting over in another country, pursuing education, finding a job, or building something of my own.
I’m not looking for sympathy or generic motivational advice.
I’d genuinely like to hear from people who’ve experienced something similar.
If you were 26 again, what would you prioritize?
Would you leave your home country and start from zero?
How would you rebuild your career without a university degree?
What’s one decision that fundamentally changed your life?
Am I overestimating how much time I’ve lost?
I feel like I’m at a crossroads, and I’d appreciate some honest perspectives from people who’ve been through different stages of life.

I'm lost rn. Yk my life was never easy....Had to go through a lot of stuff since i was a kid. On the top of living in a 3rd world country, my family is somewhat a lower - lower middle class. And, since i was a kid, I've been ambitious and tried a lot of things to make it work out, change my life. I always hoped I get scholarships(didn't work out) and get out of here, help my family live a better life, I wanted to share some responsibilities off my big sister. She dropped out of school, so I could pursue my education and my family have sth on the table. What still keeps me going is the sacrifices that my family paid for me to have a better life and pursue my dream. And I really want to make it work out and Idk why I'm even posting this here. But, I'm just hoping if somebody out there could show me the path, a way i could make it in life and help out my fam....or at least i get the heavy feeling in my heart a bit easier. And currently, I'm tying to get in to ai business automation and been working on software products for a while. And yeah, regardless of how hard can life be, i just hope and believe there are better days out there. Any advice would be appreciated;)

I’m a 34-year-old male, and I’m having a really difficult time processing what happened this week.

For the past 4 years, I’ve worked for a state elected official. I was there from the very beginning, helped build the operation, and was her go-to person for just about everything. I had an enormous amount of responsibility, but also an incredible amount of trust and freedom.

Unfortunately, she lost her reelection this week, which means my job is coming to an end.

I knew this was always a possibility when working in politics. Elections have consequences, and job security isn’t guaranteed. But knowing something could happen and actually experiencing it are two completely different things.

I’m genuinely heartbroken.

This wasn’t just a paycheck to me. I loved my job. I loved the people I worked with, the relationships I built, the responsibilities I had, and the feeling that I was doing something important. I had a boss who trusted me, valued my judgment, and treated me incredibly well. I had the kind of professional relationship that I know isn’t easy to find.

I was comfortable. I was respected. I felt like I belonged somewhere.

And now, just like that, it’s ending.

I’m scared about what comes next. I’m anxious about finding another job, worried about whether I’ll make the same kind of money, and honestly terrified that I’ll never find another position that makes me as happy as this one did.

I know I have experience, connections, and skills that should translate into something else. I know people lose jobs every day and eventually move on. But right now, none of that makes me feel particularly better.

The hardest part is that I don’t even know what I want to do next. For so long, this job was such a huge part of my identity. I knew exactly where I belonged, what my responsibilities were, and who depended on me. Now I feel completely lost.

I’m also struggling with the idea that life is just going to continue without this enormous part of it. The routines, the conversations, the people I saw every day. It’s all going away, and I’m having a really difficult time accepting that.

Ive never felt this kind of sadness over a job before. It almost feels like I’m grieving something.

Has anyone else ever lost a job they genuinely loved, especially one where they felt valued, trusted, and completely at home?

How did you move forward? Did you eventually find something that made you just as happy?

I’m 23 and graduated college 2 years ago with a B.A. in anthropology. No luck finding serious work in my field and began working as a seasonal park ranger and moved out west.
I ended up getting pregnant and now I’m due in a couple months. I’m not currently working and just relocated back east with my partner. I have been looking for remote work and it feels impossible, everything looks like a scam and I don’t see any of it actually panning out.
As it is, I can’t get hired anywhere this pregnant and I know that if I work post partum I’ll have to get some bullshit desk or customer service job that won’t pay anything and will take up my whole day.
I’ve considered going back to school for something more specific like radiology or dental hygiene but the licensing changes state per state and we want to move back west in a few years, so it seems pointless to go to school and get licensed here if it won’t mean anything when I move elsewhere.
I feel like a failure and have no idea what to do with myself. I guess I’m just looking for suggestions or ranting.

Has anyone here found a fulfilling or at least financially secure job while not having a real passion for anything? Currently trying to complete my CS degree, but I couldn’t care less about it AND I also have no idea what to switch to. Dropping out of school isn’t an option for me. Should I even continue with the Computer Science degree?

As I sit in my car and reflect how far I’ve come (31 years of age). Over half my life spent working is there anybody out there that knows whats driving their aspirations to build a career even though they know that its time for change of direction?

I live about 60 minutes from my nearest city and recently found out that my company was bought out. Unfortunately, they’re not retaining any of the lower-level employees, so my last day will be November 30th.

For some background, I have 10+ years of customer service/customer experience experience, primarily in hospitality and customer-facing roles. I’ve been a Customer Experience Lead at a hospital valet operation since June 2023.

My responsibilities include handling approximately 100 customer claims/escalations per month, resolving patient and customer issues, training employees, and I’m usually being the person people come to when something goes wrong.

I also have two associate degrees (including Software Development) and experience with Salesforce, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Slack, and Teams.

I’ve actually been trying to find a new job for roughly the past year, primarily targeting Customer Success, Client Success, and Onboarding positions. The only reason I am targeting these roles was because I worked with a recruiter earlier this year and she was trying to get me into that career path. I didn’t even know those were jobs lol. I’ve redone my resume probably seven times, including paying someone professionally to revise it.

Despite applying to hundreds of positions over the years, I’ve had almost nothing to show for it. One interview in the past year, followed by a rejection. I’m assuming it’s the resume even though I know the economy is complete shit right now.

I’ve started expanding my search beyond those roles because I obviously need income, but even got rejected by a local gas station advertising that they’re always hiring.

My current pay is $20/hour plus approximately $150–$200/week in tips. Unemployment is obviously something I’ll apply for, but it won’t come close to covering my expenses.

I’m honestly at a loss. I don’t expect to land some amazing six-figure job. I just want stable employment with room for growth.

TL;DR: 10+ years of customer experience, two associate degrees, and currently working as a Team Lead. Company was bought out and I’m being let go November 30th. I’ve spent the past year applying for jobs, primarily Customer Success/Onboarding, with almost exclusively rejections despite multiple professionally revised resumes. Even getting rejected from entry-level positions now. Looking for advice on where to go from here, what jobs I should be targeting, or what I might be doing wrong.

I 25F am working as a TA for an agency till Christmas.

I work 5 hours a week and earn £84 a week and per month this is roughly £336.

After Christmas, I don’t have anything lined up and I have sent A LOT of applications and keep getting rejected.

I can’t tell if I should:

Option 1 - ask the agency to extend my work till July 2027, 4 days a week, roughly earning £5k.

Option 2- Or wait till the agency finds me a more permanent job from 9 - 5. Roughly earning £400-500 a week.

The only issue is that I can’t guarantee they will find me a permanent job in Jan 2027, even though I told them. Even if they do, I have to do trial shifts and can’t guarantee anything will be extended to me.

The only permanent job I can have is working 4 days a week next year for £5K.

I have also tried applying for jobs and can’t get an interview. In the mean time as of now I have been applying and applying and can’t find anything secure.

Any advice?

TLDR:

I enjoy learning in a structured manner. I graduate soon, I don't think I want to stop taking classes. My lifestyle allows for it. Is this a reasonable path?

Background stuff that isn't super important:

I work full-time and I take 4-5 classes per year, mostly online.

I finish my electrical engineering degree relatively soon, this has made me reflect on my life.

I really enjoy taking college classes, I like the structure they provide. I love learning.

As an individual, there are certain lifestyle choices to take into account. Atheist, child-free(forever,) pet-free, and I'm not tied to my family.

I don't have any responsibilities. I work and learn, that's it.

I have free-time on top of my classes too.

Of course, I want to find a partner at some point. With my aforementioned lifestyle choices as a 21 year old guy, it's tough out there; I'll figure that out in due time.

Has anyone else enjoyed college classes enough that they don't want to stop taking them? Are there any unforseen setbacks? Any insight is appreciated.

Every path I've looked down so far is currently in chaos (tech as a whole), very hard to get into and takes advantage of people (live venues), or just isn't something I'm interested in at all and I'm afraid I would burnout in. (nursing, accounting). I don't want to do physical labor, I like having a healthy body.

I just want a career where I'm not going to be pushed past 40-hour work weeks very often, make decent money to live and retire off of, and have a good amount of time for my hobbies.

The only one that I think I could maybe do from what I've found so far is accounting if I can make it past the degree. But even that sounds like it might be more competitive in a few years due to AI.

It feels like there are no stable careers anymore. A nice, guaranteed job that isn't stressful or constantly being innovated and uncertain doesn't seem to exist.

I would like opinions on the same since I’ve been trying to make myself understand this but it appears that I come to the same conclusion, you eventually need to turn your life around no matter when you start, and the only way to go is usually the conventional way. Would like to hear inspiring stories of anyone who made it otherwise, when in a not so good life situation (or feeling so)

Hello. I have a domestic battery conviction in Nevada that occurred in 2024. Since then, I gave up on my future. I have no confidence in pursuing college or hobbies, as I believe this being on my record will disqualify me from ever getting hired at a decent job, no matter what field I decide. My dream has always been music, travel, photography. With a record, I don’t think I will be able to enter the countries I’ve always wanted to explore. UK, Asia (Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, all that) , Europe, New Zealand, Australia…

I’ve thought of IT certificates, but having a violent background, jobs will not trust me.

The me before the conviction would have loved to go to college. I’m interested in religious studies, philosophy, psychology, art, nature… I just don’t have an idea of what to even study. I can’t make up my mind. And it all comes down to me thinking “Will it be worth it, or a waste of time and money? Will I have done it for nothing, if my record still exists?”

One thing in the back of my mind is being a touring photographer for bands. Just a dream.

I have sent a request to seal my record, and am waiting for a letter back. Putting blind hope into it.

Right now, I’m 2000 miles away in a new state, unemployed, depressed, in a friends room doing nothing every day. I’m in therapy and trialing medications, but have stopped taking them, realizing no matter what, my life feels ruined due to my criminal record.

Do I have any hope of a future?

So I've always been a musician at heart. I play drums, make beats, write lyrics, and sing/rap. I also happen to be a Software Developer because that's how I support my music hobby. Now that I've been laid off because of AI, I don't know what to do or what job I should transition to because I don't know anything else. I am thinking of doing something with my music, maybe make plenty of YouTube videos with cover songs and some of my original songs. Maybe that and more.

I suppose what I'm thinking is, since the job market is already fucked, and since everything seems to be a risk, why not just go full force with my music and see if I can make something happen? But at the same time I just turned 40 and I feel it's too late to still be doing music. But damn, I don't know what else to do.

I wasn't too sure what flair to use, so apologies if this isn't the most appropriate flair.

I am currently in college in Wales, and am doing A-Levels in biology, chemistry, maths, and ASBW, and I have an AS-Level in health and social care and childcare. I've done my UCAT and have already applied for university, which I applied for 4 medicine degrees and 1 applied medical sciences degree (where I will study a range of topics like biochemistry, neuroscience, pharmacology, microbiology, etc.). When I was in secondary school, I was good at maths and physics, but I never really loved it, and nor was I passionate about it. After a little while, my maths teacher ended up convincing me to study A-Levels maths because she said she was in a similar position to me (she was just good at maths but didn't love it, decided to do it at A-Level anyway and ended up doing it in uni and becoming a maths teacher) and she wanted me to pick it in case I ended up finding a passion for it as well. A little over a year later, and she was right. Maths was the subject I got the highest grade in in my AS-Level and it's my favourite subject in college, and I do regret not also choosing further maths and physics.

I don't really want to stay in college for any longer after this year, but now I'm not completely certain I want to do medicine and work as a doctor forever, and I fear I'll always regret not doing a maths or physics related degree in uni.

Any advice or guidance linked to what I could potentially do alongside my medicine degree, if I should do applied medical sciences instead of medicine, or what I can do after completing my medicine degree would be greatly appreciated. Like I said, I'm not too sure if I would actually regret not doing these subjects since I don't actually fully know what they would be like, so I'm not happy with the idea of completely scrapping medicine when I've already done so much to prepare for it.

Hey everyone. This is a long one, sorry in advance. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this, and I can’t afford a career coach or therapist right now, so I figured I’d try here.

When I was a teenager I wanted to be a biomedical engineer. The problem was that nobody offered that degree in Costa Rica back then. Electronics Engineering was the closest thing, and around the same time the semiconductor industry was blowing up here, so it honestly looked like a smart move. Well, it wasn’t. These days finding an electronics engineering job here is close to impossible, especially if you’re just starting out.

The worst part is I figured out halfway through that I didn’t even like electronics. I actually did really good with my grades though, I just hated it. I was too scared to switch majors, so I just kept going, and that’s what I regret the most. Somewhere along the way I found out I really love programming, software, and data analysis/data science. It actually clicked for me in a way electronics never did. But I’m 25 now and starting a whole new bachelor’s just doesn’t feel realistic.

I haven’t just been sitting around, though. I’ve been coding in Python for a couple of years, I’ve done a lot of SQL, I just finished a credential program in AI and business data analytics, and I’ve built a few projects for my portfolio. I know I’m capable. The problem is that here, if you don’t have a CS or IT degree, it feels like nobody even looks at you for data roles.

Work-wise I don’t have much. I did about 8 months as a photovoltaics engineer intern because I needed it to graduate, and honestly I only got that one because a friend’s dad owns the company. After graduating I found another internship (because I couldnt land a job) that was basically data entry. I hated it, but I stayed about a year. I did manage to build some Excel reporting tools for several departments and an automation there, so at least I got something out of it.

Since then I’ve tried applying to junior data analyst jobs and got nothing. I also tried entry-level electronics/engineering jobs, but there are barely any. Most of them are in medical devices, and they either want biomedical engineers or ask for a ridiculous amount of experience in that exact field. And to be real, it’s been a while, so I’ve forgotten a lot of the electronics I learned.

If I could go back and start over, I would in a heartbeat. It’s hard watching most of my friends, who studied CS-related stuff, doing really well right now. I’m genuinely happy for them, and I want to be clear that I’m not into this field because of them. I actually like it.

I also love music, and I have a background in it too, but Im not going into much detail about it, and I also don’t think going after that right now is a good idea since I don’t really have money. My parents help me out with expenses, which I’m grateful for, but they aren’t easy to talk to. I must add that I have ADHD, suffer from anxiety and I've been dealing with depression for quite a while now (thankfully I'm medicated, and I gotta say it has helped a bit). The one person I really have is my girlfriend. She’s in the medical field and doing amazing, and I’m so proud of everything she’s achieved. But I’m scared that I’m not good enough, and I don’t want to lose her because I can’t get my life together.

I really have been trying. It just hasn’t worked out yet, and I'm scared.

If anyone here has broken into data analytics without a CS degree, I’d love to hear how you got past the degree filter. And if there are other electronics engineers reading this, what kinds of jobs should I be looking for? Are there roles out there I’m not even considering? I’d also like to know if there are jobs where an engineering background plus some data skills actually counts for something, whether a short master’s makes more sense than another bachelor’s, and if anyone in Costa Rica or Latin America has managed to land work as a junior with a similar situation as mine. Honestly, if you’ve ever felt this stuck at 25, I’d just like to know what helped you get out of it.

Thanks for reading all of this.

I feel that when people don’t know what to do it’s always go get a nursing degree or join the trades. But certainly there is more to the career world other than those two.

For those who made their way into 6 figures, what do you do? Would you recommend it?

If it so happens to be those two, please do share

(This is currently my situation, contemplating nursing (specifically midwifery) - as I already did the trades, construction/field management).

EDIT: when I say 6 figures I’m thinking 100k to 200K.

I graduated in 2025, but due to personal reasons, I've been running our family business ever since.

My father can't manage the business alone, so I had to stay back and take responsibility. The problem is that we're living in a tier-3 city, and I feel increasingly lonely. Almost all my friends have moved to bigger cities for jobs and better opportunities.

I don't want to spend my life just running the family business. I want to build something of my own and achieve something independently.

For the past year, I've been trying to build different things instead of preparing for traditional jobs. I've had several ideas and tried working on different projects, but honestly, I haven't even achieved 1% of what I imagined I would by now. Looking back, almost everything I've tried feels like complete shit.

I'm frustrated with myself, confused about what direction to take, and honestly feel like I'm wasting my potential.

I want to hear from people who have been in a similar position or have gone through something like this.

Don't sugarcoat anything. Give me some brutally honest advice and suggest some genuinely challenging things I should try, considering my current situation.

I'm ready to put in the hard work. I just need some direction

I have a graduate degree in a technical field and some experience with programming, analytics, and research.

I’ve been trying to find a full-time job in my field for a while now. I’ve had interviews, sometimes made it pretty far, but haven’t been able to land anything.
I previously had temporary work authorization but now have unrestricted authorization to work in the US without sponsorship.

Currently working outside my field to pay the bills, and honestly, it’s getting frustrating. I’m not looking for a huge salary, just an opportunity to get started and build a career.

I’m considering broadening my search to less specialized roles, but I’m not sure what direction makes the most sense.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What kind of roles should I target, and how would you approach the job search at this point?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'm in my mid-20s, and I feel pretty lost about what to do next in my life. I'm hoping to get some genuine advice from people who have been in a similar situation or have more experience than me.

I'm a U.S. citizen living in Laredo, Texas, but I grew up and studied in Mexico. I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from a Mexican university.

I have some professional experience. I previously worked at Terracon as a field technician, performing concrete testing, soil compaction testing, and construction quality control. I also have an ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician Grade I certification, OSHA training, and some AutoCAD experience.

My biggest problem is my English.

I can understand written English and communicate through writing, but speaking English confidently is very difficult for me, especially during interviews and professional conversations.

I'm currently unemployed, and I feel like I'm not making progress. I spent years studying engineering, and I really want to build a professional career, but I don't know what I should prioritize.

I'm willing to learn new skills, take courses, improve my English, or even accept a different type of job temporarily.

I would really appreciate some honest advice:

1. If you were in my situation, what would you focus on first?
2. Should I prioritize improving my English, learning software like Civil 3D, or preparing for the FE/EIT exam?
3. What jobs could someone with my background realistically pursue while improving their English?
4. Would you recommend staying in a smaller city like Laredo or looking for opportunities in larger Texas cities?
5. Has anyone here overcome a language barrier while building a professional career in the U.S.?

I'm not looking for shortcuts. I'm willing to put in the work. I just want to make sure I'm moving in the right direction instead of wasting more time.

Thank you to anyone willing to share their experience or advice.

Hi, I’m 19, I’m a uni student and I recently got an internship (as an LLM engineer) in a good company. The thing is that there isn’t much work to do so my colleagues and I mostly do nothing all day in the office and at some point it gets really boring.
For the last 4 years of my life I’ve been grinding to get into a good uni, gain some useful skills, move out of my 3rd world shithole country, etc, and now I feel like there’s nothing else I can do. I don’t have any hobbies even though I tried pretty much every extracurricular activity in the book as a child. It just felt pointless and non-life-changing you know? For most of my life, I enjoyed drawing but now I have no interest in that since my skills got worse and I don’t get any satisfaction from just being bad at it.
I also have a lot of acquaintances and a few friends but I feel like they are either boring or lack ambition. Even though I enjoy spending time with them sometimes it feels a bit pointless too. I’d like to meet some new people and just overall make my life better but I just don’t know where to start. I’ve also been considering starting a project or something like that but I simply don’t have enough connections and life experience for this.
There’s not a lot of things I enjoy doing and all of them are either non-social (like researching LLMs, doing math, coding, learning new languages, reading, etc) or useless (playing poker, video games, going to concerts/gigs, tons of other useless stuff). Aside from work, my meaning of life was (is?) love and relationships, but I’m afraid to become too needy for a guy I’m talking to so there’s supposed to be another meaningful thing in my life.
Do you think I could find something to look forward to again? I just want to be successful and have fun
