>tons of life plans fell out, dropped out of college almost 4 times
>decided extremely solidly I needed to get my life together at 25, suddenly huge family crisis derailed it that fell on my shoulders. I did all I could but people I love died anyway. the grief caused me to be cut off by my best friend I planned to move out of the USA with
I have no idea what to do now or where to go. I'm 29, stuck at my other Grandparent's house. My dream was to be an animator, then AI killed animation. Then to join the military, and I got disqualified after years of trying to qualify because I have autism. I've worked almost no jobs but grocery stores and cleaning. Lost a girflriend. I have dyscalculia and am dogshit at math and just had to drop out of college again from Cybersecurity because of it. No idea where to go or what to do now
Here's a few ideas I had:
>I'm extremely socially anxious because autism and grew up mute half my life, have tried to avoid retail/very public facing jobs. People yelling at me makes me physically sick. I could get a job as a janitor or at a library again, just try to get an online degree at the same time and just accept my lot living in a small town that's shit
>Desperately try to learn the language of my ex-friend's country and use my connections from their mutual friends I had to try and find a life there far away from everything I have and have ever known
>Beg my local friends in a local city in the next state to let me roommate, move far away from my grandparents and family, which is a big risk still because it's still a bit far
>try to go back to college again, try to move into a dorm (last time I tried this they put me with a bunch of shady people and I left. I live in a very shitty town) I don't know if I can do this without help
I recognize it might be over for me but I still want to try

Why not see this as an opportunity to stay with your grandparents until they pass? In the meantime, work whatever job you can and save what you can, put them into high yield saving accounts (don't trust crypto), and save money until you know what you want to do.
That's what I did when I had nothing but debt and a fast food job in my 20s.
Otherwise, you'd maybe get a degree but have too much debt later.

Cope. This whole post is cope. Everyone has to deal with tragedy and setbacks to some degree. There were still artists pursuing their artistic endeavors during the Great Depression and World Wars but that didn't stop them.

Damn, OP. The whole world just is against you. Things just happen and everything is out of your control. You're just a huge victim and there's nothing you can do. Have you considered disability or streaming on twitch?

Stupid cog sucking nigger
There wasn't anything remotely close to AI during the great depression or world wars stealing your fucking job systematically.
My family lived through the great depression and all of them fought through world War 2. They didn't have robots assembling US rations or military equipment for you so you'd least have a job
OP built a life of skills that became heavily automated. Never to be used in a mass appeal for the populous ever again.
You're too short sighted to gel on this, but how fucking dare you try to compare the great depression or WW2 to the current economic environment they're 2 totally different animals you nigger faggot

Questionable. He says he wanted to be an animator not that he is one. I bet there's a shit ton OP isn't telling us and a lot of the framing is making him look like nothing is his fault.

Your life sounds like someone took my life and amplified everything by 50%. The only differences are the dyscalculia (I lack discipline instead), the plans to migrate(I'll probably die without ever setting foot out of my birth country) and the ex-gf (I'll become a wizard this year).

Just wanted to say that I really commend your determination in looking forward OP. There are a ton of similar threads on this board every day but most of them the OP is just whining about wanting to kill themselves. You recognize your limitations but are trying to find realistic ways to work around them instead of just doom posting. I would attempt the options you listed in this order if I were you:
>Move to your friends another country
>Move to your friends in another state
>Get a job at a library and do an online degree
>Go back to college
Usually I would never suggest the first one but I think it wouldnt hurt to try and if it doesnt work out just move onto the next option in the list.

What killed animation in the west is out of touch boomers who have no idea about animation and still wonder why nobody watches western slop and converted to "anniemay"
You can still get a job in animation I think, it just requires connections and some talent and luck. Look at TADC and Hazbin Hotel, those cartoons are dead average when it comes to story telling and animation but are butt fuckingly popular.
You probably gotta reach a niche as well. GL.

Have you considered a trade? They're not gonna be replaced by AI in the near future, they haven't figured out the AI robotics interface yet, and even when they do its gonna take ages to make it until it's compliant with government regulations, and even then there will be laws to prevent replacing all workers with robots, and seriously would you trust a robot powered surveillance system to come fix your toilet when you can pay a human who doesn't have a video camera in their eyeballs?
I would spend a few hours, or even a few days just going for hours learning about different trades, and pick one that has labour demand and sounds the most like stuff you might have done before or are most interested in doing. You can use AI to do research on the best one and then it's not gonna take too long to get a job.

Agree the AI animation thing sounds like a cope. The animator industry is for really passionate people, and if you lack any skills/productivity/obsessiveness necessary to succeed you just won't make it.

Yeah OP can learn how to regret their life choices, but in french.

Cool, just gotta wait for PWA 2 Electric Boogaloo to bail the gay cartoonists' asses out again
