Yet you felt the need to, sit there, think of the idea, look all those stats up, screenshot them, edit them, put them all into a photo editor and combine this 'whatever it is' together, then you actually let that file take up space on your computer, opened reddit, came here and posted it..

I seriously hope you don't have a job, kids, animals, girlfriend, friends, family or even a mirror, because if this is what you do with your spare time, then i seriously feel sorry for anyone around you that you come into contact with because the time, effort and the fact that you decided to even think of doing this let alone doing it and posting it here, just shows, that you must be very, very sad and lonely. That being said, I have found some links of interest for you -

OMG -- you want to start a photography business? Honey, let's make that happen! I can tell you that this is where you begin.

If you are going to kill yourself, I want you to put the plan on hold for five years and focus on the photography business first.

First, let's get some stuff out of the way...

  1. What city are you in? PM me if you don't want to post it here.
  2. Let's name your business! What do you want to call it? (I'm great at naming things and I can help if you want.) Then, research that name to be sure it's not also a porn shop or human trafficking business or some other thing you don't want to be associated with. ;) If your research pans out, buy the url.
  3. Depending on your state, you'll need to register as a sole-proprietor, and LLC or a corporation. The cost is usually minimal. Look here to get an idea: www.legalzoom.com (If you got SSI, you can form a business. It's very little paperwork.)
  4. Then you go to city hall and get a business license. It's like 20 bucks if you don't have employees, which you won't. I cannot TELL you how GREAT you will feel when you walk out of City Hall having done this. You are now a BUSINESS OWNER, and a professional "creative." Yay, YOU!
  5. Let's get you a tumblr and choose a great photo template from theme forest. If you want, I'll help you with the copywriting and give you some art direction if you feel you need it. If not, just have at it.
  6. Samples. Pick your best photos and put them online!
  7. Start small while you build your confidence, and capital. Put an ad on Craigslist or Facebook local. Take on one gig at a time, and kick ass at them. Leave space in between gigs for reflection, and move at your own pace.
  8. KEEP GOING.

    There is that saying, "When you're going through hell, keep going." It is so true!

    Believe me, you are AHEAD of the game. You are 28, which you don't realize right now is very young. You ALREADY know your parents are fucked up narcs. I didn't know this about my parents until LAST YEAR and I'm 40! But my life is still awesome.

    I've been working through my procrastination, perfection, self-esteem issues, etc. in therapy for five years, and am only now just starting to feel very chill about everything. But despite not having it figured out, guess what? I was able to make huge strides creatively, in marriage and in my career. I worked at NPR, founded a huge annual art event that just celebrated it's 12th anniversary, worked in theatre, and have established an independent business that I'm super-proud of -- without getting my family shit figured out until basically just now. So if I can succeed at shit anyway, you DEFINITELY can, because you figured stuff out so much younger than I did.

    Also, the last time I moved back in with my parents, I was 27. I immediately thought: holy shit, what have I done???

    Anyway, I can SO SO SO help you if you want to start a photo business. I know all about getting something like this off the ground, because I've done it the wrong way, and the right way. If you'd like, we can have a 20 minute phone consultation and I can help you get started with all of this.

    Bottom line is this: there is hope. TONS of hope. You deserve love, happiness and creative fulfillment.

    Get this book and you will feel better as soon as you start reading it: http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Badass-Doubting-Greatness/dp/0762447699

    Who gives a shit what your small-minded parents think. You walk your own walk, and carve your own path. It's up to you and you can do it! We are here for you on this sub. We want to help you succeed and be happy!
u/highstrungbarbie · 7 pointsr/relationship_advice

I tell people this a lot, and it really depends on the person, but I'll try to make a list! To focus on ourselves basically means to better our confidence and our general well-being. Focusing on ourselves is basically keeping busy while improving ourselves at the same time. Because at the end of the day, we can't rely on others to lift us up. It helps to have people there, but we will always have ourselves. Focusing on ourselves means just living our lives and not worrying about trying to find another person to help fill the empty void in our hearts, but at the same time, while doing our own thing and just living life, this is when we may meet other people or potential future partners along the way. So either way, it's a win-win situation.

  • write, journal, let everything out. Hold nothing back. There's a lot of cool notebooks to choose from out there specifically tailored to give you topics to focus on, like writing prompt journals, or there's gratitude journals as well
  • which leads me to my next point, write out a list of what your grateful for
  • write out a list of your current goals or any improvements you would like to make, then look at it every day or post it somewhere you can easily see in your room
  • Friends have recommended the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" (I still haven't read it but I heard it's good)
  • I also heard this book is really good too "You Are a Badass"
  • hike, pick a trail, set a goal to make it to the top of a hill to help build your endurance (I have a friend who also loves to do this while making videos of himself talking to himself and just reflecting on life)
  • go to social events like parties or shows
  • focus on your career and work on that promotion, or if you still don't have one yet or you're unsure, this is the perfect time to figure that out and make a list of what you really love and have passion for
  • remind yourself that you are awesome and deserving of the best, every day or at least once a week
  • remain humble and never cocky
  • depending on your age, go to bars and hang with friends and also depending on where you live, go to a barcade if you like video games or old arcade-style games while drinking
  • hang with friends and have on one one convos with them about life (you really learn a lot)
  • learn how to cook something that you can see yourself enjoying for the rest of your life (cooking is a great skill to have, and many women really love men that know how to cook)
  • get a new hair cut, or buy some new clothes, a new video game, a new anything. Treat yo self
  • become your own best friend (it's really not as lame as you think)
  • pick up a new hobby, whether it's an outdoor or indoor activity, like photography
  • if you're still in school, maybe join any groups or clubs
  • definitely exercise since it helps build muscle, keeps you fit, and helps boost those endorphins making you feel better in the long run
  • if you're the artsy type, go to art galleries, and if you feel so inclined, even invite a female friend to join you
  • take a mini road trip with your friends if possible
  • write a short story
  • Dare yourself to try a new foreign dish for the first time and live life on the "edge"
  • help volunteer somewhere
  • pay a stranger a compliment
  • do one good deed for someone every week or month
  • visit some place you've always wanted to go to

    I know there's so much more you can do, but I hope some of these can help for now! Basically just go out there and live your life and have as much fun as possible.
u/sorryimdrunkstill · 6 pointsr/LawSchool

I found out my live-in SO was having an affair the night before my first 1L exam. It was absolutely brutal. Get a therapist ASAP. Workout (a lot). Lean on your family and friends. Read the book You Are a Badass. Stay off dating apps. I know the distraction seems appealing but they are a complete time suck and in my opinion, absolutely toxic. DM me if you need support or have any questions. It gets better. I promise.

u/livkhaleesi · 5 pointsr/xxketo

Good morning keto friends! Down 0.8 lbs today, only 2 more lbs until I'm back at pre-vacation weight. Take that, shark week >:)

Lots of goodies coming in the mail from our supreme overlords at Amazon today, including: powdered peanut butter (never tried it but heard great things), a bullet shaker thing, Quest protein powder, and this book. I'm hoping that it can be a positive step in my new quest for wellness. Has anyone read it? Did it help you at all, or did I just waste $10?

u/picnicsinthesky · 5 pointsr/AskWomen

This is an awesome question, and good for you for identifying what you need and reaching out to others. For me, it is so validating and encouraging to hear that I am not the only one struggling with my sense of self-esteem and self-worth, and I hope that you also feel less alone by reading the answers in this thread.

A year ago, my low self-esteem was debilitating.I couldn't work, I was living in state of fear that the people I loved would stop loving me, and I spent a lot of time being disgusted with myself. Today, I am slowly and deliberately learning to love myself more everyday, and I am seeing positive results in my life as a result of my efforts. For instance, my relationships are healthier, I feel anxious less frequently, I feel more competent in my work and hobbies, and I am more willing to take risks. Here are a few practical things that I have worked for me so far:

  • Therapy. The first day I walked into my therapist's office, I told her I had anxiety issues. Within 15 minutes of listening to me, she was telling me to go buy a book on self esteem for our next session. Reading that book was like reading a record of my inner life; I couldn't believe how accurate it was. My therapist worked through the book with me and helped me reflect on my thought patterns. I can't afford therapy anymore, but the dozen or so sessions that I went to made a huge difference to me.
  • Journalling. The process of writing down my thoughts forces me to turn them into logical sentences. This is important for me because a lot of the time, my internal narrative is illogical and not fully formed. Putting those thoughts down on paper helps me look at my thinking more objectively and wholistically. I also do things like make lists of things that I am good at, my positive traits, my accomplishments, etc. Making these lists gives me ammo when I feel bombarded by negative thoughts.
  • Asking my friends for help. During a particularly low time, I asked my closest friends to write me a letter about why they liked me, ways I inspire them, etc. I read these letters regularly, which means that I remember their words when I feel low.
  • Learning about Psychology. Learning about how my brain works, both physiologically and psychologically, has helped me look at my self-esteem more scientifically.
  • Practice. This is the most important thing. Just like any skill, you've got to put in the time if you want to see results. This doesn't happen overnight. Whatever you do to help you love yourself and think more realistically (yoga, journalling, meditating, relaxation, reading, exercise, etc), do it regularly. Behaviours leading to unhealthy self-esteem are habits, and you've got to work to override those habits. The best way is to train your brain when you feel good so that you are stronger for when you feel low.

    Be patient with yourself, and take the time to find things that help you individually. Building new, awesome life-long habits takes a lot of work. The progress can feel really slow--I know it sure does for me. However, it's totally doable and lots of people have made this happen for themselves. You can do it! Here are some resources that have helped me so far:

    Breaking the Chain of Low Self Esteem. The book I read in therapy.

    The Upward Spiral. For learning about how your brain works. Highly recommend.

    You are a Badass. Quirky encouragement.

    The Gifts of Imperfection. Lots of practical advice in here.

    Excel at Life While this site is ugly and disorganized, the content is quality.

    The Power of Vulnerability TED talk by Brene Brown

    The Healing Power of Self Compassion A podcast about the science of self-compassion.


    Thanks for reading my giant post-- I'm really passionate about self esteem :) And as a general call-out: I don't know many other people who struggle with self esteem and self compassion, so if anybody wants message back and forth and talk about it, I'd love that :)
u/OliveWildly · 4 pointsr/TheGirlSurvivalGuide

If you're a reader, I recommend two books or audiobooks:

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

Choose Wonder Over Worry

You can find both at most libraries and the audiobooks are just as good as the hard copies.

They will kick your ass and make you feel empowered to take on the world. At least IMHO.

u/Foxeatingtoast · 3 pointsr/USMilitarySO

Because you have extra time for yourself at the moment, I would strongly suggest you work your self. Read this book:

https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Badass®-Doubting-Greatness/dp/0762447699

All you have to gain is confidence and improving your own self. This will only strengthen and improve your relationship.

It’s ok to feel scared and doubtful sometimes. But don’t make your whole identity your relationship. You are an important and strong person too.

u/sloanluxe · 2 pointsr/lawofattraction

Not having a specific picture of what you want to manifest can prevent a lot of this resistance, and attachment, because you have not yet set your sights on anything in particular. Don’t feel pressure to formulate some picture or some super-specific desire; don’t worry about coming up with a very specific visualization overflowing with detail.

LoA will forever be something you study and apply to your lifestyle. You will have to spend some time getting to know you. I have a book I want to recommend. I was having the same issue as you are now. I didn't really know what I wanted to do with life. I read this book and it forever changed me. It helps you deal with so many different things.

Can I recommend a book for her? "You Are A Badass" by Jen Sincero. I've gifted this book to several friends. Here's an awesome podcast interview with her (to get an idea of how she is and what she talks about).

u/chocolate_muffin · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook

You are a Badass By Jen Sincerio

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolie

I recommend the first one, its easy to read, funny, practical and less spiritual.

u/iiiCronos · 1 pointr/confession

Here's a good book too! Or two. Or four! No More Mister nice guy + The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck + You Are a Badass + Declutter your Mind

They all will apply to Men or Women and are full of great advice and insights! E books available for cheap too. Suppose you can pirate them if you don't have the funds :)

Much love, hit me up if you need some friendly advice! I have been through a lot and am only now seeking what I feel I deserve in life :D

u/Esmereldista · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook

I've heard You are a Badass by Jen Sincero is supposed to be really good. I am about to read it myself. Supposedly it's not "self-helpy." I can check back in after I finish it if there's interest. Alternatively, has anyone else here read it?

u/audiojota · 1 pointr/learnpolish

My humble opinion... it sounds like you judge yourself even more than others judge you, and you need to address that more than your pronunciation (especially if you're already B1!).

I'm a total beginner in Polish, and whenever I speak I totally butcher the language with my Neanderthal skills, but I still always get the feeling that people are very friendly and smile, even if I just somehow puzzled together a few words with no declination or anything. The worst that can happen is that they don't understand, and while that might be a bit bad on the self esteem, I'm always sure the universe still doesn't mind much. And the best thing that can happen is that they understand, but I think that regardless, they always appreciate I'm trying to make an effort to communicate in their language.

Think that you wouldn't judge a kid for making mistakes while speaking, but we do it with adults (and ourselves) all the time, as if it was fine.

I'd say read a book that can help with your self confidence, whilst I don't know many on that specific topic, I'm sure you can search on Amazon and just pick one with lots of 5 star reviews.

Sort of related, on the topic of performance and not being judgemental: "The Inner Game of Tennis" by Timothy Gallwey. Outstanding, and whilst using tennis as an example, it's not really about tennis but about performance, and you can apply it to any field. It spawned a series of "Inner Game of..." other things, but I'd stick to the original. Such a great book.

Also, a quick Amazon search tells me "You Are a Badass®: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life" has almost 5,000 five star reviews - might be an interesting read, even if the subject might initially sound a bit too cheesy for you.

Sorry if I'm going too off topic, hope this helps!

Quite fittingly, the book “You Are A Badass” You Are a Badass
