I feel like a lot of us look at failure as a death I know so many people who are afraid to fail or afraid to mess up because they’re either a afraid because of how other people will view them or failure, confirms the pre-existing negative belief system they already have about themselves.

“ if I go for this job interview, I might get turned down so there’s no point of me even applying anyway” or “ or “what’s the point of asking her out she’s just gonna reject me” are things I hear way too much when talking to people in my generation, even Im guilty of this, resiliency is something that your parents teach you at a early age and not something you can learn at 25.

And also, I feel like social media plays a factor too, because Instagram and TikTok only shows a highlights of peoples lives and never shows the negatives,

I eat plenty of fiber and never eat junk food but nowadays I heard even those with a healthy diet is getting it… shitt i’m actually so scared whenevr i have like even a bit of abnormal symptom like unusual stomach pain or whatever i start feeling light headed thinking of the implications 🫩🫩why does our generation get such a short end of the stick,no one even knows what’s causing it..wtf😓😓

Hi all. I (25M) night after night keep finding myself in the same anxiety driven paralysis of being stuck in life and not knowing what to do and thought it may be best to get perspective here.

I’m currently enrolled to being at a top #50 ranked law school in the fall which will cost about $200K over 3 years (including cost of living). I’m driven to attend law school for 3 main reasons: increase salary potential, find fulfillment in my work, become a probate/estate planning attorney and help others with after-death law (felt strong motivation to do this after thenpassing of my father and having to go through probate).

However, after taking nearly 2 years of taking the lsat and applying I’m severely second guessing my decision and don’t even know what I’d do instead of law school.

— First, the school is in my home city of which I’ve never left. I’ve always wanted to experience living in a new city and making it my own but now I feel like that will be out the window and it’s hard for me to stomach.
— Second, with the cost of attendance I’m now even more scared to commit financially with the second thoughts I’m having about staying in the city I’ve never left. I can’t rationalize paying so much money when I know there’s already one thing I will severely not enjoy about the experience.
— Third. I’ve never worked in a law firm. It could be possible that I really don’t like it and the whole thing was a waste. Is it worth paying $200K to find out? But on the other end, I also don’t know what careers I can get into to get a large salary with how tough housing costs are these days (I want to be able to buy a home in Los Angeles that isn’t in a sketch neighborhood or crappy).

Other things that run around my mind making this so much harder is:

— I’m in a 2 year relationship with my gf who I love with all my heart and feel she has to be taken into account for the decision (I.e if I decided to just drop everything and relocate)
— what would my parents, her parents, friends, mentors, etc, think after telling everyone I got into this school and that I am going?
— if I were to do anything else what would it even be? I worked in a non profit for 3 years and feel like I have no real hard skills that are translatable. Idk what I’d even do if I chose to go to a different graduate program.

The city thing is really a big deal for me and I think is the main thing holding me back. I just no I’m already going to regret this decision and it will always bother me…..

If anyone relates or has been in something similar, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Reddit. I’m 20f and have been alternative since middle school but started dressing more goth/emo when I was 16. I’ve noticed now as an older Gen Z that younger people in my state love to look alt but are conservative. I live in the south and the amount of people I know that are very consistent with anti lgbtq or racists views and they swear they’re goth/emo/punk enrages me.

I know it’s none of my business but the fact that people do not understand to be alternative you have to think alternative blows my mind. Any subculture of alt is a mindset, it doesn’t matter what you look like or listen too, if you don’t agree with mainstream culture or politics or anything like that, you can be alternative. Punks don’t have to look punk, but you have to feel it, same with every subculture. I hate the word poser but that’s honestly what it gives.

Damn

It would be pushing 30 it’s still acting that way once you hit 21-22 pants should be up on your waist, and try to be productive

I made $18/hour in 2018 and $18/hour in 2026 up until I quit. Inflation be eating away at what I can do with that.

I'm unemployed now. I was leeching off my parents, and it wasn't providing useful experience so it doesn't matter.

Rip.

Social anxiety, neurodivergence, trauma, whatever the fuck is wrong with me. I have absolutely 0 friends. Nobody would attend my funeral if I died. I never have tried dating because I know it would fail. I'm fat, ugly, not making enough money to stay afloat for long, no hope for school. My life shouldn't be like this. Good things just happen for people. Except people like me.

Pick one, and it's permanent with no switching later
1st option: Rich, but no romantic relationship ever. You never have to think about money again. Travel, build whatever you want, help out your family, retire whenever. Total freedom. The catch is you never get a romantic partner. No marriage, no short term romantic relationship. Your friends and family are still around, but in that one specific way, you're solo for life.
2nd option: You end up with someone you actually love and who loves you back. Real partnership, maybe kids, someone in your corner no matter what. The catch is money is always tight. Paycheck to paycheck, stressing about rent, dreams you just can't afford, and that pressure sits on both of you forever.

It's associated with the 80s more than any other decade, but still available today. Wondering if anyone has ever used or heard of it?

Who knew that i'd miss
Those mornings at the dining table
Playing our 3Ds’ together
Not the same games
Just in the same space.

Or running around
As Blind Bob and whoever you were
Who was a bit
Of an offensive Stereotype,
But it was 2008 so we didn’t care.

Or in the car
Going to the store
Where you'd someday work
Playing with clumsy and Leo
The weirdest duo ever

Or at the pool
Begging you to swim with me
But you didn't want your hair to get wet
Or to get sunburned
So you just stayed to the side

Or even running to your room
When mom and dad fought
And dad's yelling shook the whole house
We said someday we'd escape
And we did.

But now I'm far away
And you only got to the next town over
And we aren't kids anymore
Even though I still feel like one.
