Come with a completely open heart and mind. I'll listen, and share with you.
Hello. I want to listen to you. With the advice I do share, I ask that you do truly come with a truly open heart and mind.
I've got some problems of my own but I wish to ignore those. Speak, and I'll listen. Ask, and I'll try to help.

I see. My mistake. I wasn't looking to break the rules or force any advice onto people. You're absolutely right, nobody has to take or listen to anything.

No worries, it's the intention that matters more, the right pathways to do so, we can figure along the way! <3
@affectionateAcres690 Hello to you, so nice of you to offer this opportunity. I am really glad to share a piece of my mind with you and feel free to do the same ! I actually need some advice on how I've been feeling.
Lately, life feels heavy, like it's impossible to balance everything between friends, personal life, family life, sports, personal goals everything. I've developed a strong anxiety and it makes everything look like it's gonna crumble into oblivion. Feels like my closest friends are getting tired of me, see me as an annoying and unenjoyable person, feels like I'll never be able to be truly good at anything even though I know that I have a good potential at some things I like. It goes on and on. I've quit studying (21 years old) to pursue my passion for cinema on my own but the reality check is hard. Opportunities sure are coming but for now I'm at home, desperately trying to find balance and consistency but I struggle.
Needed to get this off my chest. If you have any advice on what I just said I'm completely open to any. I am also a pretty good listener according to my friends so feel free to share !
Hmmm.....if possible, maybe try to take a bit of time off to think things through. Have some quiet time to yourself to think things through.
I went through the same thing where I felt aimless and felt Soo much weight on me, constantly. And a constant crushing sadness and anxiety. I felt like nothing I did mattered, I failed at everything, and I couldn't find balance.
Now, gonna be completely honest here. I didn't feel that immense weight, sadness and anxiety fall off until I really sought the Lord. It was unlike anything else in the world. The Lord helped me to put things into perspective and gave me a sense of security and peace I never had before.
I've never been a happy, stable, secure person until I let the Lord into my life. Ive since realized that things just aren't that serious and there is hope, always.
I simply just asked "Lord, I don't know if you're real, but I really need your help. I can't find peace or contentment in my life, please, can you help me? Show me the way, because I really need your help."
Ask with all your heart.
If this is not something you'd consider, then if just say, take a small amount of time off if possible to see if you can give yourself some quiet and room to breathe. I highly doubt your friends are getting tired of you, that's the anxiety talking. I felt with the same thing.
@affectionateAcres690 how nice of you, I wish I knew how to expressÂ
