    Give me more topics to talk about if there's something you're curious about. I can probably offer more good advice

        Hard to describe since fashion is an art and it's something you have to develop, hone, and refine through experience creating and consuming art

        Start by just following as many sources for fashion as you can to get an idea of what's trendy nowadays and good outfits for inspiration. Copy ideas at first and then when you get a hang of how to match colors and silhouettes, you can start doing your own thing. Also check out everybody's outfits when you're outside and add nice ones you see to your memory bank

        Instagram and tiktok in my experience are the best online sources

        Also, fashion in the East is taking over the entire world and becoming more influential than ever. Especially now since baggy/loose is in again and Eastern styles have more of that. Look at what the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are wearing as well

        Also you can shop around on shein.com to see what's trendy nowadays as well. They're by far the best and cheapest fast fashion company and it's really popular. Quality is much better than fast fashion mall brands like H&M and Zara

        I'd suggest specific accounts to follow but I've deleted my socials a few years ago and I take my fashion inspiration from real life now

        Fashion is very subjective but generally speaking tighter fitting clothes are better than baggy clothes. Figure out if you have warm or cool skin tones and stick to those colors (the easiest way to test this if silver or gold looks better on your skin, if silver go cool colors, if gold go warm). High contrast between your bottom and top half is risky. Generally don't wear only muted colors (white, black, grey, brown), some flare is important. You don't want too much of a pattern and do not mix patterns. Accessories can help a lot. Matching colors are cool but don't overdo it. Layering with jackets/sweaters is very cool too.

        If you're muscular up top you can get away with breaking these rules somewhat.

      "get your shit together" type stuff. I have struggled with discipline for years. Building good habits, going to gym regularly, going to bed and waking up on time, regularly volunteering (important for leftists!) are a real grind for me.

        That is far above my pay grade and likely anybody else that wouldn't charge you money

        Unfortunately, advice for this is like trying to find advice for "fixing depression" or "fixing social anxiety". The reasons with these issues in each individual's brain are different for each and are likely various and complex and the solutions even more

          All good. Suggested mostly as topic that I/others would probably like to see. The "clean your room" Jordan Peterson type of self help. (Who knows if that stuff actually works, I've never engaged with it, but the right likes boot camps.)

        someone else posted this https://imgur.com/a/bPvGn0x her ea while ago, idk if it's good though. Social model of disability is cool and all but society isn't gonna change drastically enough for us over a couple years so i guess deal with mental heath "professionals" as long as you can stand them and try a bunch of drugs and hopefully one of those or some combination of the work before you don't see a purpose in trying and sit around all day wondering why you didn't

        tw self harm

        kill yourself 5 years ago or if you'll have the strength of will to do it when you become homeless.

          Ty. First chart looks OK, I may print it out and reference. I'm just lazy, my life is pretty good but it could be better. Seems to be less bad than my ADHD friends but does improve with stimulants.
