I'm sorry for being a bummer lately and eventually I'll snap out of it but

I really hate my life here. I really tried my absolute best to make a life for myself but I'm just too disorganized and everything is too expensive, now I'm stuck still living with my parents who blame me for it because they and everybody else around me assumes that anyone who doesn't have money and independence is directly at fault for it, and any grace they receive is taking advantage of hard working American citizens.

The only people who tell me anything different are people online from other countries, which—from my point of view—really does make me wonder if all the people around me in my real life are correct and I'm just a piece of shit who is a burden to society.

I know someone from overseas who tells me that I deserve everything I have because I'm a human being like anyone else but that is not what people around me in my real, physical life say. Every day I feel like a leech who is just not capable of doing anything useful and doesn't deserve any form of kindness or material wellbeing.

I don't know who is right and who is wrong. And at the end of the day it actually doesn't even matter because things are the way they are—I don't seem to be capable of surviving here and nobody cares. It is considered my fault and that is that.

From what ive seen of you in the 6 years i've known you, you seem like a capable person.

but, who could honestly blame you for living with your parents in this economy where the job market sucks so bad that people with advanced degrees are being paid $15-20 an hour for jobs that are unrelated to their field of study. You are not behind at all dude, I know many people your age who are in the same boat. Has nothing to do with you but just timing and the economy. But look at it this way, you have shelter!! You have a place to stay, even if thats not where you wanna be at, you arent on the streets!
@TurtlePink Thank you Dear.
You still have time and your parents, i hope you will find the courage to make the changes that needs to be made

@SinlessOnslaught never stop trying, eventually...things will turn, albeit slowly....for the better
@Ferric67 I appreciate the support but it's easier to say it when you're not in it.

That sounds like a struggle with the neoconservative mindset we're facing throughout the world, to me. Obviously something is a lie if you start thinking you're not the prime concern, along with the rest of us.
@Roundandroundwego Thinking I'm the prime concern would be narcissistic.
@SinlessOnslaught no, you probably get that each person, or maybe all sentient beings, are each a primary concern. Not just you, but starting with you, since that's you.
