Your mistake was making shitty folk music and not forming a band that’s better than Metallica, The Strokes and The Hives combined

I graduated from a top 25 university with a stem degree and I make 13.75 an hour minimum wage at a dead end wagie job after not being able to get a job in a field related in my degree for a year

Art is for rich people you should have realized that. Unless you're in the top 1% of the most talented musicians you have to finance your lifestyle by yourself.
Personally I went back to playing the cello after I became a millionaire. Just make the money and then go back to music, you'll feel much more relaxed once you have the control. Just put in the effort for a decade, you'll have opportunities coming your way, you have to cease them that's all.

>fear of the public
no, was problems with open spaces, even car parks. also heights-- as in 2nd, 3rd floor of any building. Also, I found it impossible to walk anywhere..

took me months/years of dedicated daily work to overcome

>>56842744

Nah, no amount of money can inherently make you happy. Not being able to afford to sleep well can be harmful for the mood, and being able to afford rent makes one happier. Anything past that has 0 impact on happiness, and OP is just a hypofrontal zoomer who doesn't realize his mental illness is all the cause of his steadily eroding prefrontal cortex.
OP doesn't choose to be happy, that's something you're pursued on your own because you must be some boomer who understands the value of pursuing mental wellbeing rather than seeking to obtain this giddy mentally ill high brought about by frivolous purchases everyone is taught by Jewish media.
I don't know why I've done off on a tangent, but it's clear to OP that he needs to make the most of this board & figure out how to make money out of money through 3x-4x trading (buy low sell high).
You can put away $10,800 a year by placing just $300 in kucoin through bitsgap if you are intelligent enough to automatically only buy at a certain low, and sell at a certain high.
It'd take you 2 years to buy a truck & an RV, then you can negate your cost of rent & invest further into obtaining a house in a place with a reasonable cost of living (keep in mind it should take like 1 year extra since you'd be waiting on each payment of $300 to 3x).
See, it's not about how the world around you isn't kind enough to pot smoking manchildren, it's clearly just that you haven't even considered cultivating the self-discipline to one day use your brain to think up ways to improve your external environment & internal psyche.
Money is nothing, mind is everything.

>>56844177
I realized college is gay unless you're getting a doctorate or law degree for example, in which case you still lose your position if you say anything against agents of Satan, so I just started in retail after I got fired from multiple restaurants (I live in a very black area).
Currently just some 22 year old loser who learns financially worthless things in his free time, but hopefully getting into copywriting, shopify, and making stupid fucking internet videos will give me something to get rich off of.
Oh, my iq's 137 on a side note. Tested 128 at age 14.
When life is shit, upgrade your shit tolerance I suppose.

I would kill to have photographic memory. I believe that my quality of life would 100x if I had such a gift. fuck you OP for being a such a waste.

>>56844357

AHH FUCK MY SIDES

Literally anyone can take 1-3 months to sit in a chair for 5+ minutes a day, the same time each day, 6 days a week practicing progressive open eye geometric visualization.
You may want to start a habit of exercise first in order to manage your sanity, as open eye visualization may cause schizophrenia (so consider closed eye visualization).
>inb4 visualization doesn't improve visualization capabilities
lmao
>inb4 visualization capabilities don't improve memory
Spend the next 1-3 months sitting still in a chair & repeatedly reading a dictionary for 5+ min. then, Einstein.
