I will never reach my goals and it hurts so much
| I wanna draw fanarts of my favorite characters from video games and anime in a way that doesn't come off as cringy, people say no one cares but they end up in cringe compilations. But most of all I wanna have friends and not cry everyday.The only person who listens to me is my therapist and I can only speak to her fortnightly. It's been a whole year with this therapist now and the progress we made is so tiny that it will take at least 40 years for me to become a normal human being.

I will never reach my goals, the game was rigged from the start.
| Well being a teenager and in your early 20s is the hardest part. It becomes better with time so you shouldn't be so pessimistic. Instead you should work hard and set up short realistic goals until they add up.
| Also while fan art is good practise and alot of fun you should try and find an original style with original characters. Everyone finds that more interesting.
| >>386204 why do you think they are disappointed in you? programmers are always needed and get great salaries
| Come on, your situation is not that bad.
I'm 26 and I haven't graduated from university. When I got in, my girlfriend left me too, but I didn't wanted it. She said that it would be better so I could concentrate in my studies, but she really just wanted to be with someone else.
It is really hard for me to make friends because of the age gap, I don't have money, nor the time to make money, and I spend my days reading engineering books, sleeping poorly and skipping meals.
| You are still young and if you focus you can make a lot of things to change your situation.
| F*** the money! This is not about impressing your parents is about living *your* life not theirs! Do what you want not what they want.
| 21- bah. Listen to "Danny don't you know" by NSP. You're just going through an awkward phase between 12 and 29.
| Just figured out that I'm heading the same path as OP. Should I be concerned?

OP here. You probably should be. Make sure you seek professional help if it ever gets to you. Things tend to get better if you do so...
It's just I had a massive negative thought avalanche :d I feel a lot better after sleeping but it was a terrible night anyways.
Time to practice drawing and hope for the best. There are tons of other things I'm worried about but it should be okay if I don't try to take them on all at once :D (good vibes)

| Sorry for the sad thread. I was raised in an environment where I was the genius, the best- whatever. I never talked to people. I ditched my first love because grades were more important.
Now I'm 21 and depressed for a few years. My family is disappointed in me. I'm only good at programming and I wanna make games that people would play and have fun, I don't care about the money that much but it would be a nice income.
