Alright so I was a member on here years ago, the problems I used to face came from someone I trusted turning there back on me. I got over that some time ago, I was feeling happy and became engaged to my girlfriend, yet something just isn't right. It's not the relationship I love that, it is that I am 26 and unemployed and have no other close friends that my Fiancée. The thought of having friends is appealing but I remember in the past when ever they need someone to talk to I was there but when I needed someone to talk to they disappeared. I have grown content with the no close friends situation but I am 26 and haven't worked a regular honest job in my life. I did a job that I can't ever list on my employment resume for personal reasons that got me a lot of money at the time. I have been living off of it the past couple years but it's dwindling and I have tried applying for work since then but the reaction is always the same, "Wait your 26 and haven't worked for anyone before?". I thought I got weird looks when I was 24 and started this, but not I am 26 I might as well just not even bother. I have a college degree, although it is only in general studies I figured it would have counted for something, but I spent two years following college taking care of a sick family member as well as doing the private work I spoke of. Yet none of this seems to matter unless I have worked at a business or store. It is bothering me more now because I spent everyday for a month either applying for jobs from the minute I got up till the minute I sat down for dinner or I drove to these stores/business and asked to speak to the managers. I am beginning to feel nervous that I will eventually be dependent on someone else because I will never find work.
