Things I’ve Thought About Doing For A Career:

-Art, doing a combination of clean and erotic content on separate aliases. However, my current skills are not up to part to make a living off of them, and it takes time to improve skills.

-Camming and/or doing amateur porn with my spouse. I really like the idea of someone looking at my body and getting off. That’s a big turn on for me. As much as I’m afraid to say it like this…I like hearing people compliment my body and telling me they think I’m sexy. However, I know I’m not a looker. I’m fat and have a bunch of flaws, and I’m not guaranteed an audience.

-Creating video games and visual novels with my spouse. Again, my skills as an artist and my spouse’s skills in programming aren’t up to par.

-Creating a Youtube channel where my spouse and I review games, visual novels, look at old tech, etc. This seems like the easiest thing, however it’s hard to get an audience on Youtube. Also, because of the adpocolypse happening, people are having a hard time making a career off of Youtube, even if they are successful

These things are the only things I might be able to do, or that I have any sort of passion for. I have generalized anxiety disorder and so working a normal job is out of the question. I’m 30 years old and I’m not sure what direction I want to go in life. I feel so guilty not being able to work, and I’m extremely depressed that the things I want to do are either out of reach or not obtainable whatsoever. I would love some advice from my audience. Not sure how many people this will reach. Thank you for reading. :3

The biggest thing to think about in deciding any of these things for yourself is to have confidence.
Anxiety is a hard thing to deal with because it my fuck that up from time to time.

You need to surround yourself with positiveity and believe and trust in your audience.
You can do all 4 of those things, and keeping yourself busy can help you deal with your anxiety in small ways.

Always take breaks, too.

I can tell you simple things, like you need to keep a schedule to create a decently successful YouTube channel, and you need some rather expensive equipment down the line if you want to improve yourself and give your audience more of what you want, the more experienced you get with editing.

But, your audience will understand the trouble of anxiety, and if you need to take a break to calm yourself down, the people who truly enjoy your content will know why and usually will always be there for you. Always be honest with your audience, and never give in to the people who will eventually mock you for no reason.

I do not know the struggle of anxiety, but I know people who do, and I see the affect it has in their life. It hurts knowing you cannot help someone who goes through an episode, but you can be there for them, and if you build a relationship with your audience, then they will be there for you.

I was hoping I could cheer you up.

You have a life ahead of you still, and I hate seeing people fail at what it is they eventually want to do.

You have to believe in something in order to be successful. In your case, it will be more difficult to get to where you want to be in whatever you believe in, but you can't let people discourage you, you can't let your anxiety get the best of you, and you have to never give up.

It's all about confidence in yourself. anxiety makes it harder yeah I know very well but they are ways to keep it away with positive things. Do whatever it takes. People do understand the hardship it brings & the closer your friendship with your fans the more they will support you. There will be assholes out there, they are everywhere.

I meet some over the years being in SL. & let me tell you. dont ever let them put you down. Spit in there faces by doing better at what you love. Being a honest will do great things for you.
