is this world just rejecting me or something and i just not meant to live at all?
I dont get it. I dont know how to do anything and every time i think of something someone else shoots it down. Im just trying to figure how to get a job that i can actually do and find a place i can actually live and finally have a normal life and be with the girl i love and all that. I dont get why things went and keep going so wrong :’(

ugh long story though =/ i swear i must have like 30 anonymous posts that explain things bu only a few of my open ones show it for real on a tiny level :S
Sometimes things aren’t always so simple and easy..
We’ve to fight for it to get what we deserve.
Look for job, ask for friend to help you out…or learn something to get a job, its so difficult to find job these days..
and about girls and love, be patient with this one you can rush them, it might go wrong….you will find someone, just be yourself..
I dont really have any friends :(
well suposably psychology needs too much and art is a fail for any money :( so both fail? idk :S
waiting around without a word for them for 8 months is hardly rushing =/
artistic flare used wisely can be a great money earner!
Painting on its own… doesnt earn much, but putting your talent into areas such as window dressing, web design, Illustrating childrens books.. all have a path to get there though. U decide what job i may enjoy as well as be good at and go from there..
What jobs do u think u may enjoy and b good at ?

Then find one…look for friends around your place or your skl or college buds!
Ofcourse not! Art is valuable thing! If you have so much creative, you can learn designing in Computer field like photo shop or more advance than that! You can use your art works in many ways for webpages or whatever!(soz all i could thing of is Computers^^”)
You can any other interest or something(specific)?
:/ yea….in that case,go for it…atleast if you know that girl , if not, try to become friends with her!…..
lol
Every artist is starving. They’re starving in the BMWs on the way to the art shows. They’re starving when they check the mailbox and get all those gallons of free paint and paper and brushes to endorse. They’re still starving when they cash the checks from the gallery sales and book cover contracts and the art show prizes and the botanical illustrations.
Don’t let ‘em fool you. A successful artist makes more than enough money to live well. Mind you, it doesn’t come easy or fast; and you can’t treat it like a game. You have to be able to deliver quality and stand by it. But I promise that if you make good art, people will buy it.
When looking for a job, be persistant. A lot of times places hire on a first come, first served basis. They’ll put your name on a list, and you need to call them every month until a spot opens up. If you go over a month without calling them then they’ll think you’re not interested, and you’ll get dropped from the list. If that happens then you’ll just need to apply again. And while you wait to hear back from them try applying other places.
this is the quarterlife crisis. you know, many people SEEM to be so sure of themselves at this point in their lives. and sure, some of them are. but in reality, everyone goes through this phase. you’re not alone. so if you think the world is rejecting you for this reason, does it mean it’s rejecting everybody? :)
i’m sure you’ve heard of stories of successful career shifts. of people suddenly doing something else even at 40 years old, then greatly succeeding! :) there’s no need to hurry honestly. did you the movie pursuit of happyness (will smith)? that’s based on a true story. he was THAT poor. but he did succeed.
just take things one at a time. it will truly get better. :)
GOD
get some womens cloths and go to a gay bar. lots of love and have some fun.

no body here at my place, not going to college yet but am trying to. Lost all of my past friends.
i know i guess so >_> or i could just do photography which i can be artistic as far as my eye goes but i wouldnt need the drawing skills lol
well i just like helping people. I like philosophy. I like psychology. I like graffiti. I like to write poems sometimes. I did like making jewelry the few times i did it but more so on designing it. I like listening to music. I like cultures and subcultures. I like drawing. I like to invent things. i like making people happy.
yeah i want to be anything for her but i want to be as close as i can get because i think she needs a lot more than a friend.
thanks.

those are the few guys who are succesfull…. most guys even if they are good make nothing. it has to do with connections and dumb luck.

im not sure… i dont have a job and never had. i dont have friends anymore and never had close ones. i didnt go to college. ive never had a girlfriend and some people my age are as far as being married even.
im not sure if i would want to live till 40 :(
you see this isnt about success because i never care about that stuff till i started loving this girl.. i just want to make enough money to support myself and her if i can so i know i can be with her and have cash so i can travel to see her if i need to.
thanks

lol ummm no… sorry guess your gonna go there by your lonesome :p
SUM i thought u never get sad?, please just get up tomorrow and believe something good is going to happen and it will, stop worrying and start acting¡¡ for the things u want and acept that sometimes we ‘ve to change or giveup to our plans and choose other way¡¡ being this sad is ur CHOICE¡¡¡ dont get stuck in these state of mind, if u’ve like 30 posts of this is cuz u haven’t done anything real to change it¡¡¡¡ =) u dersev good things, enough feeling sorry for urself do something¡¡

Bull. Just bull. Connections are made. They don’t just fall out of the sky and land on some unsuspecting guy walking ’round with his hands in his pockets. They are forged and fed and nurtured.
It’s that way with any career. You didn’t go to college so you don’t have a bunch of ex-classmates and ex-professors to kick you in the butt and make sure you’re on the right path, so you will have to do it yourself. If you are a good artist, you can do it.
Make a few paintings. Use the best materials available. Use archival paints and supports and invest in good mats. If you can afford frames, do that. But if not, just mats will work. Call a few galleries and set up appointments. Take photos of the art so you can email them so no one wastes their time.
But treat it like a job. That’s eight hours every weekday and some weekends, too. It’s taking the time and making the effort. It’s selling yourself and showing your work to everyone willing to glance at it. It’s leaving the failures and moving on to more and more challenging subjects.
But it’s not “dumb luck”. Nothing ever is.
If you want to go into psychology, you need a doctorate. Go back to school, study hard and do everything you have to do to get there.

nope ive been depressed for a looooooong time and i get pretty sad time to time still. I have sort of a numbness thing going on that bothers me a lot. I just dont know what to do though because i know what i want more than anything is to be with the girl i love but i dont know how to act on that right. thank you though.

im not really that kind of artist, i dont really paint. I just sometimes draw and stuff but im not that great and i know lots of people way better. I was just going to do art as a side thing to pull in cash if i can because even with good artists the amount of money made is unstable and gets heavily effected by the economy.
What is a doctorate anyways? well i dont necessarily want psychology specifically but just anything i can help people just talking to them, since im already used to doing that by now.
Thank you
numbness is so strange >___> i cant feel sad even when i want to and sometimes i feel happy when im sad lol

Im not trying to get away. my only options is stay near by withing a 4 hour drive at most or go way across seas for a while. I have to get a job somehow with credentials too =/ to top off things my sis is pregnant right now
