I would like to modify cars as a career.

Hello, this is my first post here, so I apologize if this isn’t the right sub to post on. I’m considering options for a career at the moment and cars are something that interests me.

I don’t have a huge background in cars, I didn’t grow up in a mechanic family or anything. I did manage to get an award back in grade 11 for transportation technology despite performing badly in high school, so I’m confident about this field because it seems more natural to me. I have also done coop in a collision centre for half a year, so I did get to experience what it would be like to be a mechanic, which was pretty cool.

I would like to work in a company that tunes and modifies cars, like HPA Motorsports or Brabus. These places sound fun to work at, although I’m not sure what role I’d be interested in specifically.

What kind of education and experience should I pursue to work at these companies?

How to enjoy working towards being better?

I’m in a place in my life right now where I have the opportunity to become very successful in the future, but I don’t know how to lock in. I’ve just recently graduated high school and I still have problems. I have a very bleak perspective on the world which is partly holding me back in succeeding, I don’t know how to change my worldview. I never had the motivation to study, so I had pretty low marks in high school. I don’t know how to make friends since I’m insecure and socially anxious. If you saw me in school, you would basically see me as the lonely quiet dude that has doesn’t have a reputation of any kind.

I don’t know exactly what I want to do in the future but I think I want to work with cars, specifically tuning and modifying them, like Brabus or Novitec. I know I should pursue mechanical engineering for that but I got poor marks in school and only took college courses, so I feel like my application to Concordia is going to get rejected. Like I said before, I suck at socializing, which applies to networking as well, which is detrimental to financial success. I don’t know how others do it.

I want to be a unique individual, I don’t want to be like other people. I want to be cool, but I don’t put any work into being that kind of person. I don’t have anything interesting about me right now, no talents or anything, I just play video games and fap in my free time, which is having an impact on my self esteem but I feel unmotivated to change, because I constantly feel like the outer world is just as bad.

I need to lock tf in, but I don’t think I recall ever doing that on a consistent basis. Has anyone gone through this phase before. How did you improve?

Poster site recommendations?

I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit, but do any of you know good websites for posters? A lot of the ones I find are very generic and not tailored towards my interests. Also, they seem very expensive, $25 for a paper poster does not seem like a good deal. Where do you get your posters, and are there any ones where I could attach an image and they ship it to me on the poster?

Anyone know where to find a 50 ft roll of COB lighting?

First time posting on here. I was thinking about applying COB LED light strips around the bedroom ceiling, but the biggest roll I could find is 16.5ft.

Is the Oppressor MK II a must-have?

I’ve been playing online for a while (rank 393) and never bought the oppressor. I’ve always preferred the deluxo more for its controllability, passenger seat, missiles, air-to-ground capabilities, and the looks. Ever since the mkII got more expensive, I’ve been discouraged to buy it. Is it really worth the $6mil price tag?

Anyone feel dry when having conversations with others?

Idk why but I always feel kinda… dead when talking to people. I always feel boring and I don’t smile much. I cannot laugh when others are laughing, I have to fake it and even then it would be a half-assed attempt, so things would get even more awkward. People say that I’m funny, but a lot of the time I don’t even try to be, so I’m not sure if I should take that as an insult or a compliment. And most of all, I don’t know what to talk about. I don’t have a very interesting life. I don’t really have much interests or actual hobbies to share with anyone. To this day, I still haven’t been able to make any friends and it’s killing me.

Best jobs in Ontario today?

Hello there! First post here. Not sure if this is the best sub to ask this question. What are the most secure and high paying jobs in Ontario (and Canada as a whole really) in the current economic climate? I’ve just graduated high school and I have no idea what job I want in the future. I’m interested in the technology sector, but I don’t actually know what I want to be, what to study for.

I can’t talk to strangers

I have a difficult time meeting new people. I never know what to say, even if I feel relaxed. I don’t even know what to say for most of the time to people I’ve known for a good while. I can always make good conversations in my own head in imaginary situations, but in real life, my mind just goes blank. I ask questions but it still feels very one sided since I’m not contributing at all. I don’t know what to do

Anybody feel naturally lucky in life?

I came from a poor town in the outskirts of Ukraine. When the war begun in 2014, my mom and I immediately flew to Canada, just days before the airport bombing, where I was raised there ever since. Covid didn’t affect me, I actually liked the lockdown. My parents got back together just months before the lockdown, and my stepdad was able to work from home, so my days involved playing video games all day, riding the bike around my neighbourhood, and online school. Now, I live in a villa in a resort community due to my mom’s relationship with a land developer. This life was handed to me by my mom, by God, by fate. I didn’t have to work for it at all. I have a great chance at building my life. But because I barely worked for anything, I have become lazy and unmotivated. I guess even luck has a downside.

How do you guys get good at this game??

I have more than 600 hours invested into this game but I’m still trash for someone of my playtime. Recently I’ve been playing with a squad and I’ve been the one dying the most. I have trouble aiming at the target for 2 seconds and been consistently missing my first shots. I need help with getting better. Any tips and setting recommendations are welcome. If anyone wants to see a clip of my gameplay of 23 mbs on hard then please dm me, I am currently practicing right now.

Does anyone feel like exploring new music is a task?

Hello all, it’s my first post here on this subreddit. I’ve been having issues finding the kind of genre I like. Usually, all I listen to is Future and some Trip-Hop (mostly Massive Attack). I’ve tried listening to different albums, but it usually takes me multiple listens before I really start to understand and enjoy it. You can give me the best album ever made and I’ll still feel bored on my first listen. This makes exploring new music a task for me, and I prefer to just listen to the same cycle of 5-8 songs everyday. I really want to get deeper into music, as I feel like I would have a good taste if I find something right.

How to make friends when you don’t have friends?

I haven’t had any friends for a while now. This has eroded my social skills and making friends seems impossible now. I want to create relationships, but at the same time, I’m scared to engage and open up to others. Every time I socialize, it’s like I’m in the dark, I have no clue what I’m doing or where it’s going to end up. Being myself isn’t as easy as it sounds. I need to get out of this rut, but I don’t know if I could do it by myself.
