So i have autsim and dyslexia, also depression and i just feel like a loser who cant do anyhting im trying not to think that way but its hard. i also spend most of my time indoor becasue i dont like going outdoors plus its hot out there.

Ive been wanting to make games or something like that but i litteraly cant code or understand it and ive been reserching game dev for mouths, i also feel like im very limited, like for example my pc is low end or tha tim too scared to drive and idk how to. I just want to do somet hign creative that i can show with others wihtout having to go outside. im kinda nerd but not a very smart one, so theres that.

why must life be soo hard and sad?

    I would try turning learning into a hobby. Think of all the subjects you want to know about, find people on YouTube who knows about them, and subscribe to them. If you want to know about game design, subscribe to game development and coding channels. There are passionate people covering every topic you can imagine trying to share their love for the subject, if you can find them. The more you learn, the easier it will be, and the more motivated you will be to try things.

      While I agree, I’d also like to point out that learning on YouTube, while an absolutely viable option, strenghtens different learning mechanisms than written sources. Also, using YouTube exposes you to what the platform wants you to do - that is, consume as much content as possible without necessarily getting anything out of it, which might get in the way of actually learning.

      The main risk of, let’s call it “Social media learning” is that it very easily (very very easily) turns into entertainment, which is the opposite of actually studying.
