My parents are getting hard on me because I won't get a job but I can't find one I like. Why is my dad criticizing me for looking for volunteer jobs?

I like volunteering its fun. My parents have been bugging me to get a job. Everyday they've been bugging me to get one. I found a volunteer job today and my dad went off on me when I told thrm. He interrupted me and said, "I'm getting tired of these damn volunteer jobs! When are you going to get a REAL job? A volunteer job won't do it. You need to get a job that pays you well."
I told him that is doing something. My dad said, "No you're just being LAZY. A lazy pathetic excuse of a woman that refuses to get a job but only pics volunteers that only meets twice a month or every couple months. You're not even trying. Stop being so lazy, make your own money and get your driver's license. Enough of the volunteer jobs already!" I don't know why my dad is being so hard on me.


I told my best friends about it. I asked her if it was cool. They were like, "Meh." Best friend, "Yeah but it would be better if it was a paid job. I'll be more excited for you for that."
My guy best friend said, "You gotta step up your game. Stop being a lazy and be a grown up. Our friend's death is no excuse to let yourself go."


My mom said, "You're best friends are right and we agree with them. Get job and stop being so lazy. Plus you're gaining weight and laying in bed all day. You don't care about yourself or your body. You stuff whatever it is in your mouth instead of eating healthier and losing weight which you failed to do. You just don't care." Why are people putting me down. I wanna hear only positive things.

I dont understand why they even have to say anything to you. This should bother you on your own personal level.. I mean you're what? 22? You been out of high school for over 4yrs. Doesnt it bother you not having any source of income? What do you do when you need something? Or if you wanna go out with friends? You ask your father for money? C'mon now.... in all sincerity....you're Lucy they havent threatened to kick you off the nest. If youre waiting for a job that you like... you can wait for it meanwhile you're working at a job you dont like.. It's just something you should decide your own self. There are so many reasons why your parents shouldnt have to say anything to you but the reasons they do is because you dont seem to have any concern for you future.. ITS TIME TO MAKE A LIFE FOR YOURSELF
