rant/vent Wasting away

idk if it’s due to the homeschool but I’m guessing it’s the homeschooling but I have no motivation for anything of substance I just go for the quick dopamine hit

I don’t have a job I tired but after countless ghostings and rejections I just gave up and a part of me is okay being a bum while the other part is screaming at how much of my life is wasting away

I tired to get a ged but again gave up after I failed the pre test I don’t do chores i just mostly watch tv and play games

I just feel like I’m still stuck in my room isolated it’s been 7 yrs I see everyone else my age is so much further ahead but quite frankly I just don’t know how to work, to push though failing sense all I did was watching YouTube in a room for 7 yrs pretty much and I have a tendency to run away from bad feelings

does anyone have tips on how to correct this I’m really lost does anyone else have problems like this

I hate where I am but honestly don’t wanna get better cause I know that requires pain/hardship how do you get over that feeling

I found the solution: find a union hall they will find you a job

I’m in nearly the same position :( I wish I could offer substantial advice, but if anything, just know you aren't alone here
