@Kujo2099 hay again, or to keep status quo I should say G’day 🦘🐕 your not a nag :) and I talk LOTS so long posts more than ok with me 👍 if I can answer I will try..

as for nothing that you know how to love and the things that your interested in are great.. I have a mate who is 50 and writes anime for Japan and he loves it.. he has a family and a job this is what he does in his “free time” or makes time for.. also the video games is a huge industry now I see and has conferences and events all over the world.. this may be something that you could have a look at joining or going to? You already have two things that give you that happy feeling, what a great start :)

when I was 21 travelled to the north east of USA and went working at a summer camp as had no idea what I wanted to do with my life the education stuff I had done, I didn’t like the field and could see a very busy unfulfilled life if continued down that path.. I had $600 USD in my account and jumped on a plane.. I met a lady (amazing lady who changed my world by the things she loved) who walked dogs at the pound and volunteered to help do book work for them.. I was old school mentality with animals but fell in love with those unwanted animals and could see the light from within in each of them..

as for confidence that is a hard one that most adults could not honestly say they have full confidence in anything they do.. I faked it until I made it.. read everything I could on others views and techniques yet this only helped so much.. it was actually getting in and offering my time for free to try.. not always successful yet always thinking about what I had done, right or wrong, I was actually just trying..

when people started asking me how did I do that.. I had to rethink what I was doing, before I knew it the feeling of “confidence” began to appear.. the only way is to put yourself (this bit is going to suck at the start, sometimes alot sometimes not so much) in areas you want to learn about and ask questions.. lots and lots of those who are actually doing the things you love.. you have two already and I know you will find more.. alas two is more than I have.. lol..

the saying fake it until you make it, may seem weird but it basically only means go and try, then try again.. lol.. not so easy when we have our own special diagnosis etc.. confidence only comes with time and repetitive action.. also the most important thing is when you fail, to know that is a part of the deal with all who seem happy and the “best” ALL have failed and felt uncomfortable many many times on their journey..

maybe write down what you would do if you had a lotto win and never needed to work again, what would you do with your time.. ? After spending lots and doing all the $$$$ things, what would you want to do then.. you don’t have to have an answer or even write anything down,,, but start thinking about that.. I would have an island for rescue animals and fly friends and family in for visits, lol.. watch ufc and chillax.. i also would be playing with some video games and the ones I know are almost ancient now, hehe..

please don’t hesitate to write, short or long.. I struggle with short and restrict the time others have to deal with me, as I talk a lot and high energy around others, when at home often curl up in bed with the Mutz., which ever one’s here at that time.. there is no right or wrong, it is all just life and we can chose to do what we want, weird as that may be.. your doing great and so far can see your thoughtful, (mentioning your worried about long posts, don’t be..:) your willing to explore and try.. that is a huge step forward.. I see a young group of people won like $7m prize, not everyone can be the world class, like ufc but still very occasionally go and watch when they come to Oz always meet people there who also love it.. I don’t keep in touch with them but a few of the animal people met and helped over the years became almost family to me.. so there is lots of hope and opportunities for you now your on the path to next phase of life..
