I'm lost and uncertain about my future and stability. What should I do?

I've never been able to keep a job for long because I get chased off by people. People cause me problems. I've been in the hotel business for 26 years. I finally got a manager's job I liked at a place I felt at home at. But Like I said, people cause problems and I quit. I'm back at my parent's AGAIN. I've never had a husband. I've tried and tried my whole life for things to improve. I've tried College I've tried to be in relationships I've tried to look for better paying jobs nothing ever works out for me ever!! At this point I feel like I'm just going to be job hopping for the rest of my life. Whenever I do apply to other jobs besides hotels those places never get back with me or they require this or that. I'm not qualified. Plus I have both mental and physical problems that hinder me. I have no record of my mental or physical problems at all so I can't go on disability. If it were not for my parents I would probably be homeless

If you afford to or your parents can help, meet with a doctor and get a mental screening. I think this sounds like a part of a mental disability more than anything as you can't handle certain challenges as easy as others. You have to escape /quit when things get too difficult and struggle to keep a job. You've tried college but probably couldn't handle that either. You struggle with connecting with people. It all points to mental disabilities.

honestly, and I say this because there is a part of me in bits and pieces that you shared, keep going forward. it seems like restaurants and retail are the only ones that want to hire me. I'm fucking 41, I want a real career. I have mental issues that no one really takes seriously; was married, but married for all the wrong reasons, so that ended. I don't know how to make friends, just temporary associated acquaintances that don't last long can't keep a steady job either because of: people. I just can't handle people. I can barely handle myself. except for my daughter. I'm seeing a therapist but I'm not getting what I think I should. and I'm paying because I don't have insurance right now. sometimes I just sit and I'm just...blah.

personally, I'm proud of you for doing what you just did. helps other people know that they are not alone. and you aren't either. just keep going.
