You have enough knowledge to register to various forums and make lots of posts.

You have enough knowledge to share YouTube videos and interact in many ways on Facebook.

You have enough knowledge to follow the directions as I said above. There is no one in San Francisco who will help you with things you need help with. So it's about time you started treating the advice given by WPers seriously. If you don't at least try the advice, then you have no right to complain.

Do you want to learn a language or get better at computers, or go to college etc.? (Note: the question is not "would others approve of .....)

If the answer is yes, then go and do it. The world has opportunities hidden about for everyone, if you want to do something enough, then you'll find a way of doing it. Stop letting others block you from what you want to do.

++ It doesn't matter if a language is never of practical use to you. Someone asked me why we need yet another programming language on my post about writing one. We don't need one, just like you probably don't need to learn a language, however, I'd like to write one. If I get a benefit from writing one, or anyone else gets that benefit, then that is a bonus, just like if you ever use your second language. Furthermore, if you can learn to use just a simple internet browser, then you'll have access to all the learning resources you need presuming you can get to the local library or such, where they almost certainly have computers, although the library would probably have real books on learning languages too.

People (me and a few others who truly know the extent of your situation) give you advice that we think would get you into a better place in life.

You go from shelter to shelter. Get banned from places. Get things stolen from you. Get continually worse physical and possibly mental health. There is hardly any light at the end of the tunnel in your life.

Yet, you don't listen to the advice we give. You think everything's fine.

I am happy to leave you alone for the rest of your life if you really want me to.

I email people and do a bit of research, as well as give advice on the forum, because of your incredibly terrible situation. However, you make the call. If you want me gone, so you can continue down your never-ending-downward-spiral... say it and I'm gone.

With me gone, though, the best you can hope for is a new start in a new place. If you ever move out of SF. It's highly doubtful anyone else on the forum will fight for you the way I have. However, if you're happy to have so-called "freedom" of being in hell everyday, by all means it's your right to have that freedom.

When you ask for help, you should expect people will respond with things you can do to solve those problems. If you didn't want people to tell you a way to fix your problems, then perhaps the best route to take is to not share them here, although sharing problems is better (and I really should share more of my problems).

Anyway, even without much if any money, and without many people to rely on, you can still do stuff. Granted, its trickier, and requires more determination, but its possible. I have nobody I can truly rely on in the real world, and nobody who really understands me, sure I have 'friends', but don't feel like I have real close friends, but I still manage to get by. I'm trying at the moment to reach out to people a bit more though, it might end well, or badly, that is life. I'll finish with a simple statement to sum it up for you:
The only thing that can stop you from doing what you want, is your excuses of why you can't do what you want, oh and dieing.

You should get a book. Practice by writing the lessons in the book out on paper. You could make flash cards for yourself to memorize.

Ich kann nur ein bissen Deutsche sprechen <- I can speak a little German

Watashi wa nihongo o hanamasu jozu ja nai <- I can speak Japanese badly

Languages are fun. I encourage to start learning one!

...Thank you .
That said, the assistance I need - whatever combination of written help , filmed/taped help , and personal helpI,d need would need a bit more leisue easly getting around & funds that
n I hae now - I don,t know tht
at , if I went back to that last shelter I was in just before this hospital stay (as I,ve detailed in my recent line) I don,t think I could do much : writing out punch cards there : - still , not to be too downbeat , some other opportunit/ies could manifest themselves .
