Start lifting weights and eating more

Tertiary education is a scam and you should have listened to the people who tried to tell you this.

Big Macs are not a good source for sustenance. Yes, they are tasty, no just don't.

It doesn't get better.

That weird compulsion to always be in pursuit of a relationship might be gender dysphoria.

[–] LongPigFlavor@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Drop out of college to enter the workforce as you were not properly prepared for college and you still don't know what career you want. Don't join the military. Save up for a car.

Trust your instinct that the uni course you've chosen isn't right for you.

Crypto currency is not a flash in the pan. Buy Bitcoin!!!

I would add "Sell at 60k" (I know it topped at over 68) and "Avoid MTGox!"

Don't drown in self pity

[–] JdW@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nothing you do for the next 10 years will really matter so just try to have fun and enjoy being young and without responsibilities.

You have ADHD. If you don't do something about it, it will undermine you your whole life and you'll blame yourself.

Also, take up running. You're really good at it, and future you wishes she took it up when she was your age

[–] oneunitofeon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Be kind to yourself

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

This is your last chance to admit your feelings before you drift apart and you never talk to her again.

Also, be nicer to grandma and spend more time with her, you have far less time than you've convinced yourself you have.

[–] BlackArtist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Take that job in Nigeria do a few years and you should be set. Don't overthink it.

[–] roboter5123@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I know what you're going through. Trust me it'll get worse. But afterwards it's good you didn't do it. It gets sooooo much better just a year or so after. You'll be happy just sit tight for a bitband do what you think is right.

  1. you're a worthless excuse for human being
  2. drop your college course rn, maths and physics are shit for nerds don't delve into it unless you really like it (you don't)
  3. get therapy (call your dad and lay out all the shit you that's been bugging you)
  4. after you have tried your best at p 3, get on psychotropic meds asap. figure it out on your own lol
  5. practice singing
[–] VicentAdultman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The dad one hit me. Did that yesterday and today he practically pretends it didn't happened. But yeah, I think this is a good advice for the youngesters, confront your parents if needed. I wish I didn't wait till 25 to do it. Hope you are okay now, or getting better, even if by a little day by day. AND PRACTICE YOUR SINGING

[–] Skellybones@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Jump, do it

[–] GamblerShinobi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You have OCD and are on the autism spectrum. Your mom is kind of narcissist, set strong boundaries with her. You're strong enough to live on your own. Don't stop educating yourself. You can handle graduate school.

She'll come, just wait a little longer.
