Let me know if I’m getting too deep for this (brand new) comm, but I’ve noticed lately that all of my sense of validation at this point in my life comes from other people. Is it possible to gain this feeling from my self or is that unrealistic?

How do you mean?
I learned arcane languages. retroactively I think I did it bc the earliest thing from my childhood is being told I will never learn to write and read and general abuses and so I started to compensate and language proficiency seemed like the best way to do so. I feel a little bit better now, but it's not like I discovered my self-worth that way
I donno what all fandoms you are in but maybe look into conlangs. I only really became privy to them because my wife is a linguistics nerd. But if you know 8 languages and recognize the various structuring and such, you might be a good fit for creating languages for tv and movies.
Or even just for creative writing and such.
I'm currently working on a quasi-creole for a story but really want to have it fully developed if this story goes anywhere. I'm a bit clueless on it all though.
first I need a better job (paying enough to live off beans and public transport, but if I am able, I think I want to learn or teach endangered languages in some capacities. I speak some that are pretty gnarly to learn for europeans/amerikans like Arabic and Hebrew, so I don't think I will be troubled by difficulty. I don't know-know 8 languages bc I need to maintain languages as well, I'd more say around 5 active ones and 8 passively
That's still impressive by any means. Bilingual should be a pretty normal thing in the SStates imo and I wish they'd teach Spanish in early development more than making is an elective in HS. Just being able to casually speak 5 and know 8 others in any capacity blows my mind.
I hope we can all find jobs that better fit our passions. I have seen morn than a few posts about other users in a very similar under-employed situation. It sucks and I wish I could just get paid a living wage helping people instead of turning cows into profits(last software job).
also I have always respected IT people (I am not disciplined enough for it)
I feel like my "gift" is the computery side of IT and not so much the dev side. I can do both. But can't get even an entry level job because I fucking suck at talking to humans and so I suck at interviewing.
Language is not monetizeable if you are too trans and weird for corporations and don't want to be a
Thats sick
