I wouldn’t call it failing, more of a cry for help. I know part of the reason for my first SI was so that people would see on the outside how much I was hurting on the inside.

Really out on your own for the first time, but in unfamiliar surroundings where you don’t know anyone has to hard. But there are other ways to be noticed, one is at work, work harder smarter than those around you, much better way to be “stand out” than adding another scar to your collection. Any chance you could put up at least one of your pictures at work? Good way to attract a bit of attention is a positive way, and let people know you have a creative side to complement your intellectual abilities.

And I wouldn’t call your post ranting but you are right online is a good place to rant if you feel the need.
