Topic	How do I skip past the first four stages of grief
darkknight109 10/21/18 1:33:54 AM #124:	_AdjI_ posted... Start that right now. Cooking's easy, dude. Cooking well is another story, and relies on intuition that is built up over years of experience and that not everyone will ever actually develop, but a recipe is simply a sequence of instructions, functionally no different from those programs you're writing. Take this exact advice and apply it to every area of your life that you are upset about. Seriously. If you don't like your life, start fixing it. Worried you'll be homeless in 20 years? That means you have 20 years to avoid that very thing. So start building your skills - professional, interpersonal, whatever. Go out, experiment, do stuff and, most importantly, learn from it all. Much like adjl posted, no one ever starts out able to cook the five course meal fit for a visiting head of state. In fact, your first dish will probably taste pretty blah - BUT, you will gain valuable experience and learn what to do differently next time ("Hmm, that meat tastes burnt, guess I left it on the burner too long. And that soup stock was pretty bland, maybe I need to add more spices or something next time? I should look up how to fix that."). Even if you make a complete and total fuck up of things (first time I tried to cook an interesting looking pasta dish I didn't know the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb of garlic - you can imagine the effect that had on the sauce), you learn for next time. Take that exact approach and apply it to the rest of your life. Want to meet women? Go sign up for a dating site or three. Or if you don't like that approach, try a speed-dating night or a matchmaker or SOMETHING. Don't like the fact that you're balding? Shave your head or go get a toupee or some of that "sprinkle-on hair-powder" stuff. I know plenty of bald guys who are in happy relationships, so it is not the end of the world. Need more money? Go get a job. ANY job. Start somewhere. Even if you get fed up and leave in a few months, that's experience that you can talk about at the next place (and you'll learn what to look for so you don't similarly wind up in a job you hate). It is entirely within your means to get your life to the state you want it to be in. It may not be easy, but I can tell you right now that you'll be in a much happier place than if you sit around waiting for your family to die, convinced that your life will be over when they do. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
