Lol. I want you to try something for me. Go shower, shave and put on some clothes fresh from the laundry. Then just go outside for a whole day, leave your phone at home. Go to a park, go for a walk, go to the library, anything. Hell, go sit your as down in a local pub at the bar and just have a meal and a drink. Just get out of whatever headspace you are in right now.

Then go volunteer at any organization in your local community, a food bank, a old age home, SPCA, whatever. You need to understand that the world is absolutely 100% way more fucking chill than anything you think it is.

They may scoff but that last paragraph is very good advice.

I mean, it's a bit entitled. You can't just walk into a place and start volunteering. Volunteer jobs are REAL JOBS. They come with real responsibilities, and have real requirements.

Of course they do, but that wasn't the point now was it?

Okay, but counterpoint: you cannot simply walk into a food bank, old age home, or the SPCA and expect to be given a job.
