Hello, I am looking for good CTB locations in the Czech Republic (I live in Brno). 20, male. I am practically failing my high school major and have no useable life skills. I can build a PC from scratch and I know English REALLY (and to a lesser extent German) well but I have no idea what I can do with these skills. If I leave my current HS to somewhere else my parents will probably behead me (figuratively). I cannot for the life of me hold down a job because every human interaction fucking TERRIFIES me, in my last job I had to tske breaks from interacting with ppl which got me fired. I cannot hold convos with strangers, I cannot speak properly and always go *erm* or *uhh* not knowing what words I want to say. The only ppl I can properly speak with are my friends but that is a struggle too (making friends is a problem too). My health is a problem too, I cannot do any manual job outside of carrying crates in grocery stores because of my heart condition, and ADHD is a problem too.
My preferred methods would be jumping or train.
In the meantime, I will keep looking for a job that I will actually be able to do, until then I'll post this.

Have you considered working from home? It might be a good idea. Also, of course, therapy. You don't have to feel this way forever, you can try to change it and feel better among people. You should give it a try.
When it comes down to a place, I'm from PL and back when I was considering jumping as a method, I was planning on doing it in the mountains. As far as I'm concerned, there are some pretty high mountains on our border with Czech Republic so maybe you'll be able to find a good spot in there.

I have not encountered a remote job over here, I will look online when I get home from school, I am in my 3rd (out of 4) year of HS. Idk what kind of job I would even be able to do. Maybe translation work?

Have you considered coding ( apps, websites ...) could be done from home too.

Anyway jumping and train aren't very good methods. There're better ones if you really don't see another option.

I'm struggling a lot with my ADHD as well and of course the social aspect you mentioned - I ended up becoming self-employed/a freelancer doing graphics and 3d art. No one I need to talk to, hah.
But the suggestion with coding/programming (anything involving a computer) is a great idea. Big tech firms hire from all over the world for remote jobs, so that could be an option!
Best of luck with whatever you may chose :)

I do not know how to code. I tried to learn it but school keeps getting in the way.

I am broke so I cannot afford a gun. I just thought of these 2 because they are the quickest (and the most painless) ones that I know of.

As someone who lives in České Budějovice, I finished uni as bachelor and haven't been able to find a job for a year now. I failed to ctb as well and ended up in psych ward for a while... To know some methods here I would appreciate as well.

Wikipedia has a list of famous sites by country, and all of them are bridges or cliffs, funnily enough. Jumping is popular among average people. Wouldn't recommend because unreliable.

There should be some jobs that don't require much experience or education. Especially if you know any foreign language (and obviously you do). Look for anything that says "back office" (as I assume any kind of customers service is not an option)

I could theoretically do customer service but the biggest problem with that is that I share a room with my sister who is super loud and my parents have to go through our room to access the balcony, so that would be a problem too. I will look or some when I get home

"back office" means you're not interacting with any customers directly, it's just stuff like maintenance, IT support, record keeping etc etc.

Dude you have two skills right there; you're good with your hands, and you speak English well. Right there, you have options open to you. You could work remotely, you can translate, do computer repair, fix phones, etc... Working remotely doesn't mean staying at home either, many people go to a cafe, or rent a room in a coworking space for a bit of cash, or just head to a park in the summer and sit under a tree.
Not everyone is 'school academic', and good grades are not the end all and be all of life. You're not the only young person who's scared of adult life, and also doesn't know what to do with themselves.
You're 20. Work on yourself before something as drastic as suicide.

You could use Duolingo for learning even more languages, if you want be translator but if you want search for jop what you would like to do and have some skills i know people who could help you in search with that, If you are from Czechia, you could contact Fokus organization, not the fokus optic one tho, there are two with same name :D one is for eyes and the otherone is mental health There are many doctors with many different specializations and from what i heard from them, if client says that he want be cosmonaut, the people who specialize in search in jobs will tell to the client what everything he must do before to get the job :wink:

I agree with everything Anonperson1 wrote. Don't rush into ctb. You have skills and you have options. Try to make a go of life. If it doesn't work out, you can always ctb later.
