Questions: Other

I am completely burned out.

Ever since I was a kid, I was passionate about careers. For a long time, my career was a huge part of my identity, but having worked 25+ jobs and not being able to hold a job down for at least a year, it really just unmotivated me.

It isn't just going to work and working hard anymore. You always have those co-workers or middle management that throw you under the bus. You have to navigate through all the workplace politics and drama with colleagues. You have to appease your co-workers and deal with micromanagement and co-workers that want to boss you around so they get promoted. There is also this emphasis on being the right "personality fit".

I have already changed careers once. My industry has been decimated and is now oversaturated. I am just tired at this point, and I have been happier lately collecting NEETbux (social security disability). I get $1,800 a month after deductions!

Hey men on here, I wanted to get your thoughts on something - would you own a gun for protection if you had a family with a wife and kids?

I know this is a pretty controversial and sensitive topic, but I'm really curious to hear a range of perspectives. On one hand, I can see the argument for wanting that extra layer of security and the ability to defend your loved ones if something terrible were to happen. But on the other hand, the risks of having a deadly weapon in the house, especially with kids around, also seem really concerning.

What do you all think about this dilemma? Would you feel safer and more protected by having a gun in your home to guard against potential threats? Or do you think the dangers and drawbacks of gun ownership outweigh any potential benefits, especially when you've got a family to think about?

I'm sure there are valid points on both sides of this debate, so I'd really appreciate hearing your honest thoughts and experiences. How would you weigh the pros and cons if you were in that situation? Do you think there are better ways to secure your home and protect your loved ones besides owning a firearm?

For me, I’m thinking I might get one to hold for protection for my future family or even myself, probably before I have a family, because knowing the world we live in nowadays and the current state we’re in, people are crazy and try anything, so we try to be safe, aware, and cautious with our surroundings, especially in our homes. I’m not sure yet.

Bonus question: if you were to own a gun… what kind of gun would you get?

Let me know what you think! I know this is a super complex and personal issue, so I'm really curious to get some insights from the GirlsAskGuys community. Appreciate you sharing your perspectives!
