Isn't really hard to decide what to do?
I say: do everything. See what sticks. You'll only see doors opened or closed if you're looking for them. A little advice from someone living in a developing country, parental support is a huge help when you're trying to find yourself. Don't be ashamed to

A little advice from someone living in a developing country, parental support is a huge help when you're trying to find yourself. Don't be ashamed to lean on them, it's what parents are for.
Talking to people gets... easier as time goes on. I promise you. In the meantime, keep sharing your thoughts in places you trust, like this one :)
I have the talent but not the courage to show it
Well.. I am almost 18 btw.. so I am still a teen who is not even 18..with social anxiety, lack of confidence, panick while talking to strangers, overthinking a lot and talk to myself.. well a lot of stuffs in my life is happening.. as everyone knows it's the worst time for a teenager where we have to choose "what we want to become", that's been eating me up for quite a time now..I am stuck with the thought of "what should I become?" A kindergarten teacher (cause it's only childrens that I can talk freely with) but it would be noisy and talking with the parents of the students would make me sick again.. well now some people would say i shouldn't say that this or that.. I know guys.. but well I can't talk to people.. i start shaking when I try to (mostly when I am alone).. I grow up kinda isolated with both working parents.. a brother who was also academically busy and I was mostly alone in the house.. i start talking to myself when I am like.. 7-8 years old.. and still do it.. it's as if I have another world with a confident person who guides me and helps me.. I find fairytales really enjoyable.. imagining myself in their shoes and thinking "oh! How would it be to live like them? A colorful peaceful like and a lot of people around me?" Well.. sorry for being dramatic.. i just love sharing with you guys.. so where were i? Yeah the job.. another option is to be a artist.. i really want to be one.. but that would be too burdensome and expensive for my parents.. i can earn myself.. but how much can I do without their support? I am just a coward afterall who ran away from everything from a small age..
Every other person teenage are same in a way..I started thinking about mine..I dont have anyone to say MY inner feeling..eventually all keep in peace..whatever you do choose,you will find the way

the "imagining another confident version of yourself" thing hits so hard. that voice in your head that knows what to do? that's real. you're already doing it.
the art thing though, wanting it despite all the doubt makes it real. creating, not teaching, that's worth listening to.
real question: what would artist-you do if you didn't have to worry about parents' support or money? like genuinely, what's the dream?

People who get judged are better than those people who judges..
The beautiful, enigmatic Northeast, the Seven Sisters and their adopted sibling Sikkim, with their hills and valleys and cool forests. The many tribes, the cuisine, and of course, the lovely Northeasterners, fetishized by mainland Indians.
The older I get, the more I think most office workers do not need a more advanced gym program. They need to stop behaving like office workers for one hour. I am an office worker, but I feel I'm smarter about it. Let's go for big brain time Look, you sit all day at work. Then you go to the gym and immediately sit on machines between sets scrolling your phone, sit for chest press, sit for shoulder press, sit for cable rows, sit while resting, sit while texting, sit while checking fitness…
There is a difference between an opinion and a judgment, and almost everything in the way we live now is built to make you forget it. An opinion is what you can produce in four seconds when someone asks. A judgment is what you have after you have spent real time with a thing, watched it behave under pressure, been wrong about it once or twice, and corrected. The first is nearly free. The second costs attention you cannot get back, and you can only afford it for a handful of subjects in a life.…
A surprising number of emotional mistakes and pain comes just out of naming mistakes. Someone says he is angry when he is really ashamed. Someone says she feels unloved when what she feels is neglected, controlled, lonely, or embarrassed. Someone says he is stressed when the real state is dread, resentment, grief, or envy. Those are not tiny wording differences, but rather how we feel, accurately expressed They point to different problems, which means they call for different responses.
I realize, interacting with students, teenagers and younger co-workers peers that many believe that their personality traits are a leading factor in deciding what do to or how to tackle their own career. Although younger people ask these questions more explicitly, older adults also seem to think along the same lines. I personally find it to be far more irrelevant than most people think. Besides my job, where I observe successful people doing the same role with drastically...
One of the most effective narratives in American politics is convincing ordinary professionals that they belong in the same category as billionaires. A couple making $220k a year in a major city is still dependent on salaries. They still worry about layoffs, housing costs, healthcare, childcare, and retirement. They cannot buy political influence. They cannot move markets. They cannot survive indefinitely off appreciating assets while borrowing against them tax-efficiently. They are not living…
