Unbearable

Imma be honest, I feel straight up gas lit by people in my life telling me that if I just try harder, smarter, better things will work out for me. I'm working 40+ hours a week, I'm attempting to do school in addition to work so that I might be able to qualify for an unpaid internship in which I gather "valuable experience" so that I may be able to start at the bottom of the totem pole somewhere so that I can get paid a discount salary. But hey, maybe if I stay there long enough I can get promoted and get that 1-3% raise to counter the 7% inflation.
I'm completely disillusioned by capitalism at this point. I'm dying slowly from poverty, over exertion from work, and the debt to try to cover basic living expenses. This is all while being asked why I haven't settled down or bought a house yet. Like… wtf is wrong with people…
I guess the good news is that I don't have enough time to think about how bad the situation is except for rants like this because I spend every waking hour trying to navigate being underpaid, over worked, and lacking sleep.
Why does no one seem to care? Why do older people think telling me that they had it "way harder" and were successful somehow means anything to me in the modern world when the goal posts just keep moving. It's all just kind of silly and ridiculous. I'm not even sure when I would have time to meet a significant other in my current life. Fuck… and then I come here and fantasize about ending it all since there's no way to beat these parasitic oligarchs…
Sorry for the rant.
