Adult now, no job, can't drive, so no car, I got a little depressed and have sat on my @$$ in my room all day ever since high school ended years ago.
How do you immediately cope with the fact that you are doomed for such a period of time? That your woes prevent you from finding a quality romantic partner?
I feel like i wasted my years. When I was younger I envisioned my life as being self-sufficient. Well, I just turned 25 now, what could I have done wrong?
The only thing I'm improving with right now is going to college for a year or two. Even then, I am not self-sufficient about it. My mom insists she is the one who should be doing all the preliminary work. That's how I really feel.
It ain't like college is gonna help you. I have a Bachelors in Computer Science and an Associates in Arts and an Associates in Science and still haven't been able to find anything (I blame outsourcing, the H1B craze, and the crazy requirements for "entry level" in IT.) and am "overqualified" for a lot of the lower level jobs. For the lowest level, it's more pride. I don't want to just settle for a job I coulda gotten if I'd dropped outta high school after sacrificing my way to a Bachelors, especially as i heard these lower level jobs have little upward mobility. Plus, my whole purpose of trying so hard in school was to AVOID those jobs by bypassing them. That was my whole motivation to try harder in school when I felt like giving up. Also, a lot of these lower level jobs would JUST barely cover the expenses, so I STILL wouldn't be able to move out of home, and also, a lot of the lower level jobs are NOT the most Aspie friendly.
However, I may have found one (Hotel Night Auditor) that is. Plus, I may still have hope for one in my field. Was really close, but then they ran into new management and that put everything into a snag that is holding everything off till at least January.
