Is There Any Hope Of Independence For Me?

purelambdaphi

I'm nearing 26 years of age, and I only have a high school diploma aside from some negligible course certifications.

I hate having to depend on my family, live with them, or just living in the country I'm at currently.

I've considered a career in many different fields (YT, CompSci, medicine), but I have no confidence I'd get a job in any. My mental health is such that I feel unable to put the effort into getting through school or significantly socially interacting anymore, in any case.

I can't see any plausible future for me other than rotting in my room while hiding away from the sensory and emotional nightmare that is outside of it, or discontinuing my existence myself if my interest in certain things I still think are worth my time sufficiently dwindle.

  • You need to pick an area that either is, or you can make, a special interest. You will then do more and know more than other people and you will become good at it.

    If you like coding, it will not that hard to become good. Then people will want to pay you.

    But you will have to pick something and apply yourself a bit.

    You won't get something handed to you on a plate.

    Jobs are where people pay you to do something, so you need to be able to do something or demonstrate you will be able to learn how to do something.

    I'm assuming you're not attempting to contradict anything I have said in this reply, and merely offer general advise or perform some illocutionary act that you deem good under some norm.

    Just for the sake of both offering greater context and generating conversation: I have a SI I've invested a lot of sustained study and practice into. In fact (and this might in part be naive ego), I think my level of skill on this field rivals the relevant experts from where I live.

    Even so, my confidence (meaning credences) of getting a job, even in this area, is very low.

    (I'm also not trying to contradict anything you have said. This entire reply is just some illocutionary act.)
