@Insomniac that two year gap could be hurting you. Just fill in the the by saying you were self-employed as a tutor and test prep instructor. They will have no way of verifying.

I also apllied for so many job interviewes in the past. My problem is I am a horrible liar. It took me extremely much effort so that anyone gave me a shot to try. Ironically I collapsed after a short time working. So everything was for nothing. (It hate my cynical life.)Is there?
I eventually got over my fear of sending resumes after 2 years of "LDAR" and "NEETing".
I also got over my social anxiety enough to create a LinkedIn account despite having no connections and feeling really lame and unpopular.
However, I'm starting to relapse again into utter desperation and apathy. I feel so lost. Why haven't I gotten an interview yet? After 104 applications? Is it because I did nothing for two years after graduating?
What am I supposed to do while waiting for a reply? How am I supposed to feel? I'm exhausted and can't sleep. My mom is hospitalised for 3 months now in a different country and she's ruined because of her treatment costs. I don't know if she is going to survive. I don't have a job. My dad is an alcoholic. I have a little sister who needs me.
But I just need to die. Why am I so TRAPPED. What would people think if they learn that I CTBed despite my mom being hospitalised and having a sister who is still a minor? I just want to be GONE.
I have my rope here and an anchor. It could all be over in an instant but I can't get over what people would think. And my little sister who has no one but me.
So much pressure. I feel resentful towards my mom that I feel so responsible for her child, my little sister isn't MY CHILD, I DID NOT BRING HER TO THIS HELL HOLE SO WHY DO I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER??????????????
WHY.
It's not my fault if my mom husband is an irresponsible alcoholic, why do I have to fix my mom's mistakes. am I her slave? Is that it? her slave?
I'm sorry that she is on the verge of death and I'm sorry that I'm such a selfish cunt.
It's just too much.
I'm having the complete opposite experience. I've been looking for work for a couple months now, mainly because I'm being super selective. I've been getting 5-10 interviews a week consistently for two months. Turned down 4 offers. Currently hired to start 2/15, but hoping for two other offers to come through. I may keep the other job and see if I can work two at the same time, since both are fully remote.Everyone is supposedly hiring but people who never had trouble finding work can't get interviews. IDK what is going on.
I just feel like I'd feelntoo uncomfortable lying. today an interviewer asked about my experience and I said I didn't have any and she asked me what I was good at and I said... not many things... yes I really said that. yes, I'm fucking retarded.@Insomniac that two year gap could be hurting you.

update: only got one interview so far and it was this morning. I fucked it up ofc because I wasn't even preparedidk why but I find it really hard to prepare for questions such as "why do you want to work here", etc. I feel like these are dumb questions because it's obviously for the money wtf? what else are they expecting to hear?

I have a hard time lying and I am always saying dumb things in interviews. I think a lot of people have a hard time with interviews.update: only got one interview so far and it was this morning.
