Trying to get some input for someone else. Was thinking of upskilling, finding a group, developing a hobby, guided activities. Any ideas?

    I used to get made fun of for being a goth kid through grade school, always got the short stick kinda deal. Nowadays I’m a circus performer with an international social group, and I get to do some really cool shit, so suck it everyone who made fun of me.

    To answer your question, hobbies and interest groups. It’s gonna suck at first but you have to push through the discomfort. Cracking my egg also helped me a ton personally lol

      Ya. I took that as ‘develop a talent, eventually people will notice’. Glad you found your thing. Tried the usual sports and pastimes. He gets duscouraged easily, but am trying to show him the grind is oart of the process of getting good, and that moat of us arent naturally talented. Its a long road ahead.
