Having no purpose in society really sucks

[CatLove56]

22, no job, no real goals in life just makes it really hard to find good reasons to keep living you know?
And even if I do find something it won't last long. I don't enjoy being a wage slave, I don't enjoy being around people who like to remain in the dark about reality, and I don't enjoy leaving the house.

On reddit I either get the "suck it up" attitude or the "you'll find your way man, just keep searching" platitudes that get old fast.

Forgot to mention how they will tell you to just get friends and feel better.

I couldn't have said this better myself. I feel you Greg. Society sucks - their way of solving suicidal people problems is "you have mental issues, see a doctor, suck it up and live. kthxbye"

Wow. this reads as something I could have written myself. Same age, no job, can't find a reason to live, afraid of being a wage slave. But I never had a job, the way you write it seems you have worked before. How long did you manage to be a wage slave? I can't imagine myself lasting more than a few weeks.

Well, time for my biography!

Graduated in 2014, had a major video game addiction so I was motivated to work because my parents bitched every time I wanted a game. Got a job in a grocery store deli full of bitter, sexist, young and old women who treated me like shit so that lasted 2 months.

By this time I had developed an awful habit of "having my head in the clouds" or being distracted by something on my phone which is usually reddit. I worked as a housekeeper in a hospital for 1 year back in 2015/16 and my video games kept me going to. Had "special" coworkers so at least it was interesting.

2016 left the hospital for a warehouse job where once again, treated like shit. Over worked, underpaid. Quit after two weeks.

Month later found myself in a nursing home doing housekeeping again but I was grateful for the easy work and relaxed environment again. Decent coworkers but I just did my job and went home to my hobbies.

6 months later quit (2017) because I wanted to be a truck driver and went to a shitty company. Quit after 2 days and thought for sure I was going to end it. Pussyed out and couple weeks later fucked up my knee and their began the hell and the "fuck you I got mine" society realization that I finally saw. Once I got better, manged to get a janitor job for a contractor in a company that I could have retired from if they hadn't outsourced the work. last two months, had a gun to my head but alas, i couldn't do it.

Since then, tried being a busy owner, failed, looking for work that doesn't make me suicidal but I'm sure they all laugh at my resume.

Now, moved hoping to find better work but nope it's all still the same. My sister in college calls me wonderful names and how she's going to have such an awesome life because she WORKS HARD and DOESN'T GIVE UP! Love u 2 sis!

anyway regardless if anyone actually reads all this bullshit that is my life, it's nice to get my shitty past on paper


The long term unemployed/no skills are deeply discriminated against so good luck to you I really mean it.

Thank you, I really need some luck, but everyday things just seem to get worse and worse. I think I would feel better about myself if I didn't depend entirely on my parents to support me. So at least you got that going for you I guess. But maybe I'm wrong and I would be even more miserable having to work for someone just to get by. Anyway, wish you some good luck too, your resume can't be worse than mine.

The funny thing is I had something to live for. I had someone to live for. She hurt me 4 months ago, but somehow it made me realize what I was doing wrong with my life and the ways I was bad for her, and it gave me strength to quit my addictions and come clean about some things I was hiding from basically everyone including her. Then I proceed to live the best 3 months of my life.

Then she hurt me again and I'm now in my lowest low so far. I thought I had anxiety problems before, but now and cant sleep for more than 4 hours before I wake up in panic, which is really worrying because I used to sleep 9-10 hour every night and it was almost impossible to wake me up. Plus my already weak self-control has gone to shit and i'm in the way of becoming an alcoholic with an eating disorder. And the little motivation I had to continue studying is pretty much gone.

What do they tell you on Reddit specifically? Which subreddits do you go to?

@Greg have you tried a simple but crap job low skilled application, fast food, retail, cashier, stocking shelves, etc? It'll be crap, but it'll give you something to do. Plus a little money. More profitable than volunteering your time somewhere, lol.

Make your purpose to take on society while inspiring others to do the same, and find fulfilment in your own sense of freedom

Most of what you've said is among my mental list of many dot points of : my reasons for leaving. Chapter 1

yeah and no one gives me a chance. I've applied to just about everything whether I'm qualified or not. Nothing.

No harm if you keep applying. At least applying passes the time? Well, good luck however.
