Finally left my room for a job interview ! (Waiting for the inevitable crash) I’ve been neet/hikikomori for 6 years, only leaving my room to sometimes work jobs that high schoolers excel at. How am I, a 24 year old woman, supposed to feel proud of myself when even as reject job at a department store like Ross won’t accept my job application after my seasonal position ended due to my mental illness. I feel like once professionals know about any mental illness you have, you’re wearing that label on your forehead from then on out. “OCD, PTSD, stupid girl with tics.” It’s... 5 3 replies

Damn right I'm bitter Recently had someone close to me point out, nuts inaccurately, that I'm better. That I should do something to change that, that it'll age me and make me die young. To that I say, damn right I'm better. Look at the state of the world. Look at the state of things. I'm doing my best, I work full-time, and I'm freaking broke. Can't even afford myself nice little things like a Calico once in a while. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I'm a damn good employee and I'm... 5 1 replies

I want to feel empathetic to normies that rant about how they turned 18 or were teenagers in the lockdown years, but i can't... Like girl... I was literally in lockdown since like 2017/18 with no friends, isolated, alone in my room, and had mostly no contact with people besides my close family or classmates at school. I turned 18 in 2020, and even without lockdown, my birthday would have been lame and without friends. When I see comments from normies complaining about how they couldn't celebrate their 18th right, or that they lost their teenage years, it feels like someone with a little scratch cries to me about how hard it hurts... 3 0 replies

Life is passing me by and I can't do a thing about it. I'm now 24 years old. My old school friends are mostly in relationships, travelling the world. Some are married, others are working in south America, one is in the middle east making a 6 figure salary working for an American consulting firm, another just bought his first house. Over the last 6 years I've watched myself fall behind inch by inch. When all my old friends got their licenses to drive, I didn't. When they went through the university experience and graduated I didn't. When they got their first... 2 2 replies

What were some of the best moments of your life ? What were some of the best memories of your life ? Memories that you will cherish to the day you die ? My life has been utter hell the last decade, but me being 26 years old there are moments in my life where I can look back on and smile. If anything, these moments are the reason I haven’t fully committed suicide to this day. I guess looking back on some beautiful memories ignites a pretty warm feeling in my soul.. I know I am too far gone... 1 0 replies
What is everyone’s experiences with getting/trying to get a partner? I want to try online dating to get a girlfriend (I’m lesbian). But I’m wondering how everything will go.

Can’t believe this is the only life that I’ll ever have I often sit back and just genuinely can’t believe god gave me this life. The ONE life I will ever have is this … Ugly, Low IQ, mental illness, autism, adhd, you name it. It’s like I am living in a perpetual nightmare with no escape, and the worst part is, THIS IS MY ONLY LIFE I WILL EVER LIVE. I will never get another shot at this, and this is the hand that I’ve been unfortunately dealt… I don’t even know what to do anymore, I really do... 5 1 replies
Oh shit got a job interview today Holy shit I'm so glad I didn't decide to be a smart ass and correct the other person for typos assuming it's a scammer, turns out he's just an old guy, seems like a legit small business as well. Going in for an interview later today. Gonna try to not say anything that'd make me wanna kick myself in the head for years to come.

US NEETS: Is it really mandatory to register for the draft? Lol. I've read you can be jailed if you refuse. They don't care if you have any condition that might make you unfit for service or what? Would y'all consider signing? I'd never join such an environment. Maybe if there are autist-friendly roles. 😂 1 2 replies
At least if you don't try, you don't fail/come up short The working world can be so unbelievable frustrating. You can try really hard and perform well but: - People who are not as capable/good at the job as you get the job position or get favoured, and you just have no idea why, and you're not even allowed to ask why. You're just supposed to remain in a state of bewilderment. - Your resume doesn't even get read. It just ends up on a stack basically. Your resume is not even really looked at just because someone knows someone... 4 1 replies
What keeps y’all going? Like in all honesty… For me, I made a commitment a few years back that I’d see my University education through to the end so I thought it only right to myself as well as my mom to honor that commitment. I’m currently 29 and a senior so close to graduating but I’ve had several chances in the past to commit to a goal and have mostly failed. When I see how my older sister is living with seemingly no sense of order or structure to her life, it... 5 2 replies
