UNEMPLOYED, SINGLE, LIVING WITH PARENTS - Life Doesn't Always Go To Plan

[@yuki-jw8mb]

I'm 27 with two degrees but unemployed living with family. I feel more and more useless everyday and feel irritated at the fact I can't have my privacy but this is my fault and I brought this to myself. I'm literally so scared to go out and interact. I'm hopeless. I don't know how to get back on track. I think about ending my life everyday. But I found your video and maybe; maybe things can work out in time. I actually also just wanted to say how nice your place is. Living in a third world city wouldn't let me walk around nature near my home so this video is very relaxing to me.

[@joelgeorge3435]

Hang in there friend. I'm also a 27 year old battling depression and anxiety at work and I don't know how long I can last in the job. But I know that this life that God has given me is worth the struggle. Better times will come some day.

[@blueberryjam698]

I feel you, I'm only 23 and I'm already feeling it. Although I'm still quite young, I'm worried that I'll be like this on the same path unless I start taking risks that will change my life. I agreed with the video since it gaved me some strength to never stop following my hopes and dreams tho.

Same age same feeling same life😌😌

[@annaconsta]

Unemployed? There are way less jobs than people, so it is normal that many of us are unemployed. Living with parents? Our finances are far away from what we wish them to be, due to circumstances out of our control. Single? We can't control how other people feel about us. What I am saying is, we should stop beating ourselves up and start being compassionate about ourselves.

[@Volvo-f2y]

👌

[@ovariantrolley2327]

Absolutely. I think people think that theres a false dichotomy where you cant have compassion for yourself and the true external factors that have caused things WITHOUT thereby losing your sense of responsibility. It is obvious when you think about it rationally that your circumstances both are and arent your fault. For instance people a lot lazier and stupider than me could afford a house and family before they are my age in the previous generations, so my circumstance isnt all my fault. However its obviously a good idea for me to change my habits while also trying to change society. We can and should do both, we are individuals in a society, not individuals in the vacuum of space. The false dichotomy of EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT OR NOTHINGS YOUR FAULT is better to move on from. Lets change ourselves AND change society, together, trying to make a better world for our children.

You know Will, I’m 38, I’ve been married 8 years now & have 3 children & ridiculously big mortgage. You might say I’ve fallen in to the trap of what society expects of me. Going to work paying the bills & using all my ‘youth’ if you will to raise the family. I wouldn’t change it for the world BUT, life if for living! The older you’ll become you’d wish you had spent more time exploring the world. Be that free spirit. You are only young once with a small opportunity to be able to do whatever you want to do. There is, Will, plenty of time to meet a girl & have kids. I’d say follow your dreams & for God sake don’t get caught in the rut/trap of what’s expected of you. As I say I’m 38 & still don’t know what I really want to do with my life!!! Good luck - Andy

[@ghdrum]

I'm 38, single, no kids or mortgage and live with a mate. But, I'm a full-time Paramedic happy as hell and have never been miserable. Why? Because my real passion in life is drums and I ALWAYS make time for it. Once I realised that it was too hard to be a full-time musician I trained as a paramedic (at age 30, by the way) to give me some stability so that I can maximise playing drums and make music. I wake up happy every day and enjoy my day job evenmore because of how much joy I get from drums and music on my days off. It's a balance, isn't it. Just spend time doing what you love and if you have to juggle a day job too, as long as you're happy, you win.

There's never really been a time I've been employed, at least not for a substantial amount of time due to a bunch of mental health issues and being in and out of hospitals since I was 12-19. I'm really trying not to give up hope but I feel like such a burden, everyone just thinks I'm lazy and maybe I am, but its so hard to find this spark in you to go above and beyond when you cant even see a future for yourself anymore in general. -A

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

For anyone going through this, I have something that you might need to hear: Stop seeing your goals as a one way route I realize that the reason I never actually get anywhere in my life is because I’m too fixated on a goal and I believe that the only way to reach that goal is to do this one thing that I got to do earlier / takes money to do, which become some sort of “excuse” on why I couldn’t reach that goal. My tips is to focus on what you can do, not what you want to do, and go with it wherever it takes you. You can always revisit those goals later, but you can’t revisit the times passed doing nothing. Easier said than done, but here’s a perspective, if you can’t achieve it, then it’s not yet within your reach, so try to lower the bar and climb it slowly, because there won’t be that magical moment where your dream suddenly fall on your laps and everything become the beautiful reality you want yourself to have. Just take small steps and let it takes you wherever it goes, don’t fight it if it takes you away from your dream, because it might be the routes you’re not aware of, taking you right into where you see yourself in.

[@bojidarmartinov5949]

Im 25 and i also used to think like you a few years back. As much as working sucks, trust me on this, but working a job will actually amplify who you are as a person. It will teach you many things that you simply cant learn otherwise.

[@letsplayg]

With all due respect there is a sense of entitlement here and somewhat a lack of maturity, what if your mom said the same thing how would you live? Fact is if you want to live you need to work and that is easier for some than others, I totally get the viewpoint of it being depressing, I also think work is made "too important" and people could work less, find something you enjoy, maybe become a music teacher or something creative but it's not healthy to expect things to just come to you for free, lots of people hate working and don't worry rarely anyone truly works 9-5 consistently most doze off multiple times, call "someone", look at their phones rarely anyone who has an office job is gonna sit on their computer and focus for 8 hours non stop it's more so 2 hours then they work slower then a bit faster again, then slower, motivation also comes when you are doing something sometimes not before you do it and trust me when you're busy and actually have something to do (I work in the kitchen as an assistant and when it's busy time flies I do it for 15 hours trying to build up to 32 hours, because 32 hours Is a full work week in my country) time flies and you learn a lot about yourself. Try out a few things and if you hate everything then maybe there is a reason for that, I need to feel good at my job or I hate it even if I do something I like if I don't feel good I just can't do it for example, take your time just try to look at more perspectives, like if you made money you could help your mom out a bit just like how she helps you, the world is made up in my opinion and I believe everyone is different so its crazy to expect everyone to do the same but work teaches you discipline and responsibility which are qualities that can help you in your daily life as well, you just get more done

To stay sane I moved back in with my parents (at 45 that was harsh) and concentrated on my vision, to create an authentic "desi" Indian food business that offers premium speciality and regional dishes. I learnt to cook in India. I knew where my skill set was and what filled me with joy. I was skint for two years and really hit rock bottom. But now I have a thriving business and love every second I'm alive. I have a commercial kitchen, I sell out every week at farmers markets, and will be opening an Indian deli in 2021.

I was married for 25 years. Abuse lots of years. Best part is my now 30 year old daughter. Been divorced for 4 years. I feel I wasted a large part of my life. But if I didn't have my daughter I'd be very lonely. Stay happy. You're words are good advice for this 62 but feel 40 year old!!

[@ophelia777_]

I’m 24 had a lot of abuse by ex boyfriends. So I live with parents, have cptsd... but I’m going to college this summer. And it’ll be paid for. I’m a clinical lab assistant, and will be a medical lab technician in about a year.

Turning 28 this august, never had a job, no friends (I left all my friends), single (religious concerns). Meanwhile my younger brother has had a stable job for the past 3.5 years, and slowly accumulating wealth. At this point I'm not surprised if he's getting married before me. Everyday I feel like a waste of oxygen, but to be perfectly honest I'm not completely faultless. I do hold on to the hope that I'm gonna get out of the rut someday, but fuck man, when will it be? Everyday my remaining age is decreasing slowly but surely, and if I don't do something soon there won't be any chances left for me. Sometimes... I wish that things would just go my way already. I'm tired of living like this.

[@bunnygirl3820]

I turned 21 last 2 months n I feel the same as you do I never had a job, I don't have the same friends group I had in school cuz they keep asking *what your doing now?* n I don't ever feel like answering cuz they doing better than I am they got everything n I don't.

This may sound weird but, I'm glad that some of these younger people get to live at home so that they can spend much quality time with their families. I lost my mother in September 2023 , so both parents are gone. Don't be hard on yourself about being unemployed. What I can suggest though is to do some deep inner reflection on what it is you want to do. I guess read books, actually talk to a therapist many of which do life coaching, life direction, career guidance. Don't give up, but put some thought into it & believe me you'll have the answer.

[@TaxingIsThieving]

Well said... but coaching requires money.

I am 22, younger than most people here, however, this is not the life I had expected even at 22. I was diagnosed with depression at 13, had pretty rough high school years. However, I got into college, again not the college or major I saw myself doing. I graduated with pretty good scores, got a job straight out of uni. It didn’t do well. Got fired within 3 months because the management and I had multiple disagreements and they did it without ever letting me know. I loved the job. As soon as I got fired I fell down the pit. I moved in with my parents, have tried applying to multiple jobs. Have tried so many things but I have no hope left anymore. I know I am young, but this seems like the end of it.

[@rehanamannan3261]

But I'm 30 single mother of two little humans and I never give up on them I have been applying for anything at this point I've been out of work for a month now but interviewing had been hard I suck at interviews to begin with I'm shy and have anxiety I freeze up but the jobs I applied said they had daylight then when I interview they're like we don't have daylight availability only evenings.

I was travelling from the last ten years and now I came back home but as I don't have a good relationship with my family, they paid me a hostel. I came back three weeks ago and it would be almost a month and if I don't get a job faster, I should probably go back to the country where I was living. I have just a few friends and there were a lot of bullies while I was trying to not feel depressed and anxious 'cause the process of being here is making me feel hopeless I have no obligations so I can just leave but anyway, I was hoping to find here belonging feelings and I just got rejection It's a very conservative country and I felt stalked all the people, people were just gossiping about my life and it's people that doesn't even know me, they're just imagining stories or theories about my life and they're obsessed with me and talking about me everyday and every time, they hate me and want that other people hate me so they're trying to making me feel isolated, depressed, anxious,scared and I had enough so I think I will leave.

I know there are the “ideals” the media and people around us expect. But I think it also comes down to how you view things. Being unemployed means you can take the time to really find something you would be passionate about or take the time to learn a new skill. Being single is not a bad thing lets you grow as an individual and value yourself without the need for someone else. Living with your parents is very common in other countries surrounded by people who love you, only in the US is that frowned upon. Just take the time to reflect and challenge your perceptions :)
