    What are some good ways to make friends?

    I moved to a new state a few years ago and I'm still struggling to meet people. I've joined and gone to group gatherings and events for things that interest me (board games, Warhammer, D&D, etc), but while I've become part of some of those groups, I haven't really met anyone I could call up to...

    I've been doing miniature painting as a hobby, but the reactions I get to my projects is making me want to quit.

    Thank you so much. Here are the Helldivers I painted. The white and orange ones were painted with folk art brand paint I got from Michaels, all the other ones are painted with Vallejo. The white emblems on their chests are the biggest problem I have with them, as it's hard to tell what their...

    I've been doing miniature painting as a hobby, but the reactions I get to my projects is making me want to quit.

    I've been painting miniatures since high school when I first got into Warhammer 40k. I don't put as much effort or money into it as other people, I started off using paints from Michaels and I only recently switched to Vallejo, but I still felt like I could make some good models. A while back I...

    I just got ghosted by someone I wanted to befriend and I don't know what to do now

    There's this game store I go to play Warhammer at and there's one person who I got along with well and thought I could be friends with. The store's fairly far away, so I felt like meeting him outside it would be hard. However, on Friday he said in the store's general discord chat he was at a...

    Need some advice. My out of state friend hasn't mailed me some 3D printed models he said he'd make for me and I don't know what to do.

    He hasn't asked me for payment yet. We practically live on opposite sides of the country, so taking a road trip isn't an option.

    Need some advice. My out of state friend hasn't mailed me some 3D printed models he said he'd make for me and I don't know what to do.

    Last year I was looking to get some miniatures 3D printed but was having a hard time finding someone to do it. The people I tried either ghosted me, disappeared, or had the 3D printers break. An out of state friend of mine said he'd do it for me using his college campus's 3D labs and I could...

    How worried should I be about brain implants?

    My brother brought up today how someone got Elon Musk's implant installed and it didn't sit well with me. The idea of having a computer chip in your brain really disturbs me. A big part of it does have to do with the inhibitor chips in The Clone Wars and thinking they'll be like those. Another...

    I'm struggling to make friends and I'm not sure what to do

    I've been trying to meet new people and try to keep in contact with my friends back in my home state (I moved away a few years ago), but it's been really hard to do both. I'm interested in video games, movies, and tabletop games like D&D and Warhammer 40k. I've tried looking, but it's hard to...

    I had a really bad day at a game store today

    I'm a fan of Warhammer 40k, but I've been struggling to play it. I often get upset when things don't go my way in the game and I have a massive losing streak that only makes me feel worse. Recently I've been trying to change my thought pattern so I focus more on interacting with people than on...

    Need help dealing with suicide related compulsions

    I've been dealing with suicidal thoughts for a while now, but recently something new has popped up. I have this weird feeling in my hand that feels like I want to take a knife and stab myself. I'm not sure how to get rid of these feelings. I tried techniques my parents and therapist have taught...

    What's the best type of therapy to look for?

    I'm looking to find a therapist to help me control my emotions and overcome some stuff in my life (work, friends, hobbies, etc) that's making me depressed. What would be the best type of therapy to search for? I've also heard from r/aspergers that ABA therapy is awful. Is this accurate?

    I'm having problems with my Warhammer 40k interest and need help

    I’ve been playing Warhammer 40k for years now and I should be excited about the new edition coming out. But recently I’ve been wondering if I should even continue the hobby. I primarily play Deathwatch and I know we got a lot of good rules for 10th edition, but I still feel upset about what...

    Hobby problems and meltdowns. Need advice.

    I had a really rough time yesterday and I'm not sure what to do going forward. I collect and play Warhammer 40k as a hobby, and unfortunately, it hasn't been going well for me. When I'm not telling myself my models suck because I don't paint them using the company's official paint, I'm running...

    What would be the best jobs to work full time that don't require a college degree?

    I'm trying to find full-time work related to my major, but I haven't had any luck. Right now I'm thinking just getting a basic and stress-free full-time job until my luck improves. What would be the best jobs to look at? I've tried applying to be a librarian, because I thought working in a quiet...

    I don't know what career I should pursue after graduating college (TW: suicidal thoughts).

    I went to college with the idea that I would become a writer and I graduated last year with a master's degree in communication and a bachelor's in film. Now here I am almost a year later working part-time at a bakery and I'm starting to think I made the wrong decision. I had the idea that...
