Am I attractive?

I'm just saying, I was just as optimistic as you at 19 years old. Then reality hit me, and I found out everything is hard as hell.

This doesn't change the fact that you go to jail if you do gun repair for other people and you don't have an FFL license.

I don't see how blacksmithing has any correlation to toned muscles or six packs, so I don't know why you brought that up. Also, you should probably also look into any permits you'd need for a forge. Speaking of disability money. I may be getting that. You still didn't like "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" blah blah if you do it with disability money. You still got help from others.

I "know how" to do lots of stuff. It's actually doing it that's the problem. Anyone can say they "know how" to do lots of things. Just read and tada, you know how. Now actually do it. That's why not everyone can do everything. I used to think I "knew how" to work on cars, as I read a bunch of stuff about it and understood it in my head. Not everything works out as well in your head as it does in real life. For example, my Supra's flywheel bolts are only accessible through the starter hole. I figured "hey this is easy, just take the bolts off" except it's more of a two person job and I didn't know that when I did it as the book didn't specifically state it, as the crank can't move. So my Supra ended up eating all my 12mm wrenches I had. Oops, now I have no 12mm wrenches, and I can't do anymore even if I wanted to. Try again later, I guess, but the "simple job" turned out hard as hell. It's sh** like this that makes my life complicated. Nothing is ever "haha, so easy!" All the details kill you.

Good then when I do do all these things, I can sell you knives. I already made one knife. You don't need a license for a forge, my grandpa said as soon as I find a place to put it, he would help me build one from scrap, and bricks. A forge can use charcoal for fuel, so it isn't that expensive. I've already replaced brakes, rotors, transmission fluid, a drive shaft, and wheels/tires. I can already weld as an equal with my grandpa, who is an engineer. My Great granddad was a machinist for 44 years of his life. I work in my Grandfathers little shop here and there, and also know how to replace hard drives on anything. I also made a grill my dad uses to cook steaks on an open fire with, no steak ever tops the ones on that grill. I already have experience and a little dna memory working for me.

Nah, getting help from others is awesome. But if you get help from others it's not a matter of "I did ____." Help from others doesn't mean it's intrinsically you and your greatness at whatever thing you're doing causing you to succeed, but simply luck, really. Some people just have better luck is my point. Going and being like "ALL YOU NEED IS SOME CONFIDENCE" is the same as going to China and saying all you need is confidence and you can be a millionaire to some peasant farmers.

I'm slim and healthy and I'm not an 8-9/10, this is BS.

You had help. My dad basically never wanted to help me for sh** since my parents divorced and my grandparents are all dead. I've done basically all those car tasks, too (no driveshaft.)

I dream of being a biomedical engineer. It is hard for people to try to crush your dreams when they don't know what they are

Good luck repairing weapons. You should do custom adjustments too, those make a lot of money. Who cares if you have to be 21 first? That is only roughly 2 years away for you. It just gives you a chance to practice and save up money to start your business. Most people do not achieve their dream career quickly. I will have to go though at least 4 years of college (preferrably and a few years of training before I can reach my dream.
