I'm 27 with two degrees but unemployed living with family. I feel more and more useless everyday and feel irritated at the fact I can't have my privacy but this is my fault and I brought this to myself. I'm literally so scared to go out and interact. I'm hopeless. I don't know how to get back on track. I think about ending my life everyday. But I found your video and maybe; maybe things can work out in time. I actually also just wanted to say how nice your place is. Living in a third world city wouldn't let me walk around nature near my home so this video is very relaxing to me.
Hey I am from south america, also here is not easy. I hope things are better. I am struggling too
Hang in there friend. I'm also a 27 year old battling depression and anxiety at work and I don't know how long I can last in the job. But I know that this life that God has given me is worth the struggle. Better times will come some day.
bro im 23 and feels bad with one degree also , finance and marketing , do you think i should study another degree in engineering , i may find good job ?
I feel you, I'm only 23 and I'm already feeling it. Although I'm still quite young, I'm worried that I'll be like this on the same path unless I start taking risks that will change my life. I agreed with the video since it gaved me some strength to never stop following my hopes and dreams tho.
Same age same feeling same life😌😌
Unemployed? There are way less jobs than people, so it is normal that many of us are unemployed. Living with parents? Our finances are far away from what we wish them to be, due to circumstances out of our control. Single? We can't control how other people feel about us.
What I am saying is, we should stop beating ourselves up and start being compassionate about ourselves.
👌
Absolutely. I think people think that theres a false dichotomy where you cant have compassion for yourself and the true external factors that have caused things WITHOUT thereby losing your sense of responsibility.
It is obvious when you think about it rationally that your circumstances both are and arent your fault.
For instance people a lot lazier and stupider than me could afford a house and family before they are my age in the previous generations, so my circumstance isnt all my fault.
However its obviously a good idea for me to change my habits while also trying to change society. We can and should do both, we are individuals in a society, not individuals in the vacuum of space.
The false dichotomy of EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT OR NOTHINGS YOUR FAULT is better to move on from.
Lets change ourselves AND change society, together, trying to make a better world for our children.

@@RuminatrEnglish is good mate
There tons of jobs available in the US but by the end of the week you already spent 3/4 of it after expenses because of the inflation so what’s the point? The cost of living has gone up but wages have stayed the same. Makes zero sense and you can thank your government for this
3 years ago I was 29, unemployed, and living at my dad's on universal credit thinking my life had no hope. 3 years later I'm working at a top advertising agency in London. Don't give up. Resilience. Try and try again. You will eventually get there.
How long were you unemployed
@@johnnytsunami3558dont give up,keep moving forward,i wish you a really good life
Well tell us how you did it!
How did you get there?
What changed your perspective?
I’m turning 27 soon,single no kids and unemployed.
It’s one thing seeing your peers living their best life but it’s another seeing your parents getting old and you can do absolutely nothing to help( financially).
It’s the worst pain cause you feel stuck.Counting years go by.
While you still in the same place.
It’s depressing but I still have faith and hope that one day this will be all testimony.
Tough times never last.
It's because society is cancer
Where are u based dear
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Girl I'm here for you 💞
No sometimes they last forever and actually get worse and worse
I’m 28, single and unemployed. Oh and also living with parents. I got a degree and worked really hard for it. It’s come to a point where I’ve stopped searching for jobs anymore. I don’t know maybe I’ve become lazy but it’s really depressing.
This is me😩
i can see my self to you
That's burnout ain't lazy
We have the same situation right now. I am broke still finding a job, too much rejection and my parents dont support me anymore to reach my goal to have a license. Lifes very complicated and hard.
Same. Ive worked hard for both my degree and masters. 3.7cgpa but cant help me to pass the interviews. Now everytime im on my laptop to search for job i feel heavy. Im 29 btw
25 years old unemployed, single, virgin, lonely, no friends, living with parents and i don't even go out from the shame that i feel. is everyday pain, sometimes i feel like i want to end myself 😔...
I'm older than you and I feel the same. I can't even get out of my room
Super tired during the day, and alive during the night when everyone is sleeping .. I can finally breath
It's like I don't want anyone see me or feel my existence except the demons above my closet 😂
Love hung in there.... it's going to get better.
Me too bro 25 years old😒😒
(Sorry for my bad english) im 25 too, but still hanging, sometimes i accompany my grandma in her house so i can go away from this parents chatty thingie about me who still jobless and try to get back again recently learning some online courses and maybe try remote job or start new small business
Sometimes im alone or hang out with cousins or junior high school friends, but believe me there are people out there who stuck in the toxic environment from jobs that they dont like, pressures from boss, work and work, or got pressured to pay their parents a lot and save less money, stuck in that route everyday feels like dying
We are so much better , and you still get time to do what you want, you are younger than you think, start at something you like to do, from there you would find your community or people with same vision and mission,
Really you are lucky than those people
Don’t let those things define you. Your life is worth living.
I'm 34 and have been unemployed since 2019.
I've applied for so many jobs to the point where I can't get out of bed anymore because I feel so drained from the same repitition of rejection and emptiness.
I still live at home where the same family problems and emotional trauma has repeated itself since I was a child.
All of my peers have progressed in life and I'm stuck behind.
I feel so depressed and alone.
It’s okay keep your head up. Don’t let society foists a role on you.
Yeah same here 27 and still broke, no job, no skill. Too many problems to deal with
Just go through the other comments. It made me feel a comforting sense of community. You're not alone. Your struggle is legit my fellow human. Know that I feel it too
You are definitely not alone as we see but please try to do some things like go out for a walk, meditate, find out what you enjoy even if it means having to do it alone and isolating the rest of your peers who remind you unconsciously of your situation! Keep believing in yourself that there is something good coming your way and try to hold onto whatever level of worth you believe you still have because with that you could grow it and be in an even better state in a year or so! You got this!
Can I ask you a question ? I’m 31 in the same boat. But it’s all my fault. I lived out all my dreams in terms of partying and desires.
Did you do the same mistake? Going for pleasures and desires for so many years and now that it’s all done with your left with no solid career?
Wish you all the best. I hope I find something soon.
I'm 38, single, no kids or mortgage and live with a mate. But, I'm a full-time Paramedic happy as hell and have never been miserable. Why? Because my real passion in life is drums and I ALWAYS make time for it. Once I realised that it was too hard to be a full-time musician I trained as a paramedic (at age 30, by the way) to give me some stability so that I can maximise playing drums and make music. I wake up happy every day and enjoy my day job evenmore because of how much joy I get from drums and music on my days off. It's a balance, isn't it. Just spend time doing what you love and if you have to juggle a day job too, as long as you're happy, you win.
Ah, hello fellow drummer in chat!
I like your story, mate. What kinda music do you like?
That's me but with singing, it keeps me motivated
I'm single and unemployed living with parents and I'm having a great time (most days) thanks to music!
@@CrimsonHeart3 Samee
You know Will, I’m 38, I’ve been married 8 years now & have 3 children & ridiculously big mortgage. You might say I’ve fallen in to the trap of what society expects of me. Going to work paying the bills & using all my ‘youth’ if you will to raise the family. I wouldn’t change it for the world BUT, life if for living! The older you’ll become you’d wish you had spent more time exploring the world. Be that free spirit. You are only young once with a small opportunity to be able to do whatever you want to do. There is, Will, plenty of time to meet a girl & have kids. I’d say follow your dreams & for God sake don’t get caught in the rut/trap of what’s expected of you. As I say I’m 38 & still don’t know what I really want to do with my life!!! Good luck - Andy
Hi Andy, thanks for your wise words from someone who knows how easy it is to go into the societal way of living! Your defiantly right about being young once and making the most of this time, can often be difficult to remind myself of this! Thanks again!
You do know that mortgage is a means of survival on a pension once paid off... you can also downsize if your eyes bought more than your arse can push
39 here, and want to echo Andys views...in your early to mid 20's you feel sooo old but it's a lie. There's a world out there that is available to you and it's not tying yourself down so young. I travelled a fair bit in my 30's and tbh wish I'd done far more before settling down and having a family. do your van life thing, i'm watching now wishing I could!
That was a really nice message for you to take the time to wright type. Hope yoy find out what you want to do, im 43 and renting a room and don't know what to do???😆😂🤣😕
Thinking with the little head instead of the big head will trap you for years unless you love your situation but you sure don’t!
The comment section is therapy itself… I thought I was the only one going through all this at 24, but finding other people who share similar struggles makes me somewhat hopeful that things will get better for each of us someday.
amen
We're all hidden away.
24 is a very young age u dont need to have everything figured out. U have a long life to live.peace❤
It really is. I hope everyone is being truthful because it makes me feel better too😂
Im 25, got a high school diploma, unemployed, still live at home. nobody wants to hire me because i have no experience. im ashamed of myself
Don’t give up I’m at the same place your at man

I'm 33 years old, unemployed and single. It sucks but I have some things to be grateful for
exactly the same here...33...unemployed...single...it's so frustrating...
I just turned 40, still single. It seems no one really wants to date or have relationships. So shallow. So, I'm single because I want something more.
I'm turning 36 this year, no job, no spouse, no kids, kind of difficult to know what is about to happen. I also have ADD which kind of makes it difficult to maintain stability at work.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet35 and agree!
@@oguzc.2379why are you not married.... 🤔🤔 And still unmarried 🤔🤔
I’m 33 unemployed and moved back to my parents after 5 years away. I love it, I feel like a teenager again almost rolled back the years. Don’t let society bring you down after all I could have 3 kids and a £1400 mortgage to pay.
are ur parents loving it tho!?
OMG I'm not alone and yes I'm not struggling. Im 24 engineer college droppout living with my parents can't be any happier!!! I lost my tuttoring job to covid but at least I still get to work at mcd's. But I don't like how something so random can destroy years of my work so I dropped out of college. years later I'm seing faar too many STEM grad CZcamsrs struggling to find or maintain the job many RANDOMLY NO REASON laid off. As my dad and I in the bay area pay less than 500 a month my dad goes out with his girlfriend a lot while I enjoy San Francisco on a weekly basis while doing robotics! Also 18 an hr is great pay for such $500 rent and I'm having all this fun while working only partime all because I live with my parents, no child, no marriage, no girlfriend!
@@jonathanjonathan7386 maybe his parents enjoy his company and he assists with bills/mortgage/rent - certainly the case with me, and I'm 28. Moving out of the family home is a very British thing and a very modern thing at that.
Although it's great to have parents that support you when you are down and transitioning, and mortgages/kids aren't from everyone, but I don't think people should be "loving" living with their parents in their 30s and trying to feel like a kid again. Sounds like a coping mechanism tbh. Like I said, all for family support, but should be more of a motivation to figure out shit and move on asap instead of enjoying your parents supporting you at an older age...
@@jmd489 don’t grow up it’s a trap…
We should create a group for all those people who are feeling lost and lonely in life and keep eachother in touch to give advice
Agreed
we should
From as long as I remember I wanted to get away from my crappy hometown, only to end up there again at 24, with a bunch of mental illnesses and without being able to do anything in life. It sucks. I can't stop comparing myself to others. I feel like my life has ended and I'm so young.
Literally in the exact same boat as you
One thing to do, don't care...start were you are even if you have to save 50usd per month.. Don't over think.
I’ve never related to a comment so much in my life. Except I believed that getting a computer science degree would be my ticket out and here I am at age 24 in my declining hometown still.

I am 19, I was the "smart, gifted kid". Parents expected me to be really smart, living on my own at 20 at least. Because of my mental health I dropped out of school, I have literally no one to talk to, I have no degree, no job, no money, living with parents and I have no idea what to do. Because of my mental illness I can't even go out without breaking out. I know I am kinda young, but man. I thought I would be somewhere else now. I hope I will get things figured out.

Does till now you don't have anyone to talk to ?
facts, i was maybe not the TOP GUY but people around me realized that i was pretty sharp.... Plblblblblttttttt 👎🚽right down the drain lol. 19 is young though! you got a lil time.
I'm 37, single, employed and living on my own. And i still can't stand the daily grind. Life is a scam... And let me tell you, unless you have a job you really enjoy and does not drag you down, then you don't want a woman in your life to make it even more stressful, time-consuming and drama -filled (i used to be in a relationship for years and it wasn't such a rosy experience). So, singlehood is not a big deal. Only if you get to a point in your life that you feel really at peace with your routine, should you pursue a relationship. Otherwise, it will distract you from any chance of fixing your life
You wanna know the sad truth? I'm 25, and set up a business that at this point nets me passive income and made me close to $20k a month at its height. How did I do it? I legally scammed people to get here. I skipped college altogether and learned what bullshit to tell people at the right place, at the right time. No hard work. You're right, life is a scam, and if you want to make it, you've got to realize this is a dog eat dog world where there's only predators, and prey.
@@tedstersscience1637 The dog will come back to bite you eventually.
@@tahnx47 no, it won't. You see, I learnt to do this from people who did this their whole lives and there was no dog that bites for them. The "dog" you speak of is starved and dead. Karma applies to the poor, those who believe in fairness and play by the "rules". As a matter of fact, it's the people who believed in fairness who made me wealthy in the first place, while they're drowning in student debt cause that is how they're taught to believe life works.
I see. @@tedstersscience1637
Thanks for sharing 😊
You're not alone. the world doesn't have much mercy for people who are different or don't fit perfectly into the machine. yet the system is broken and many people are in the same boat. housing is expensive. but life is too short to live for the approval of other people. God has a plan and a place for everyone.
Yes Rigged white man system. Live your life!! Who cares what others think
For me, I don't think God loves me. Yes, I have said that God loves you all the time. I just don't think he loves me because of my autism, depression, and my life. This is just punishment to me, honestly. I really want to stop suffering.

"for everyone" COPE
I was travelling from the last ten years and now I came back home but as I don't have a good relationship with my family, they paid me a hostel.
I came back three weeks ago and it would be almost a month and if I don't get a job faster, I should probably go back to the country where I was living.
I have just a few friends and there were a lot of bullies while I was trying to not feel depressed and anxious 'cause the process of being here is making me feel hopeless
I have no obligations so I can just leave but anyway, I was hoping to find here belonging feelings and I just got rejection
It's a very conservative country and I felt stalked all the people, people were just gossiping about my life and it's people that doesn't even know me, they're just imagining stories or theories about my life and they're obsessed with me and talking about me everyday and every time, they hate me and want that other people hate me so they're trying to making me feel isolated, depressed, anxious,scared and I had enough so I think I will leave.
This is a nightmare.
That was a heartfelt message Will. I’m a 42 yr old mom, stressed from work, introspecting on life, my purpose and the worth of it all. My conclusion? You have one life, make it worth it ...explore and make new experiences. Some day when we are on our death bed, could we all say “that was a life well lived, on my own terms”.
Things have a way of working themselves out. There are no bad choices except for what you do with the choices you’ve made, good or bad.
'You have one life, make it worth it', couldn't agree more! Thanks for your message :)
I always say, everything always works out in the end!
Respectful. Just like that one song by Frank Sinatra which goes “I did it my way”
I'm 47. 3rd world country. Living with parent. No money. No job. My mother is dead father almost 80 and he still gives me money to live on,we don't live together. But he hasn't helped me beyond subsistence living and starves me at will. I have 0 friends No gf or wife. I feel hopeless and suicidal at times
28,Left my IT job due to personal reasons,The love of my life is getting married,Still living with my parents,My hair is thinng drastically,No stability in life,always confused yet stubborn on achieving something worthy. My friends are getting married,moving abroad,enjoying their lives to fullest & Here i am preparing for exam to do Master's. Let's see what life holds. How life unfolds.
You’ll be more than okay. Think about positive things, like your Masters.
I am 41, single, unemployed and living at home, never been married, never had kids..not exactly how I planned my life either. What I'd give just to have a normal life like everyone else around me.
Wish you all the Best Bro. Hopefully things start working out for you.
You could be dead. Would that work out better for you? Be grateful you're able to make a change.
How do you buy groceries? Im currently unemployed and struggle to fill my stomach
Please don't think it's too late, it's NEVER too late. Focus on things you like and go after building a business around them. Listen to motivational videos and self help and self improvement videos. I personally recommend Jim Rohn. Not sure if you're Christian or not but if your are by chance, pray daily. Ask God for strength and hell provide you with it, and everything else you need and desire. God bless you and please don't give up. You have a purpose and are beyond worth it!🙏✝️

It’s not fair. I didn’t choose to be born and I deserve better people as parents. Not people that care more about giving away money to church than they care about getting me their son educated. It’s mind boggling and I’m finally set over the edge by it.
I'm 31, live with parents, dealing with huge amounts of financial fraud committed in my name, my friends are married and appear to be having the time of their lives and I hardly see them (at least according to social media)... this video hit home.

Good on you for filming this, there’s so many of us in the same situation. I think travel ignorance is bliss. I am never content in one place because of all the travelling I’ve done. My life may have been exciting and I’m hoping to get that excitement back. Love the ‘van’ I have a focus estate and car curtains!

"I am never content in one place because of all the travelling I've done."
- I felt that. You're fortunate to even experience that.
@@kimberlypascua8020 Facts
I'm glad you are able to travel as you wish. For the majority of people, no job means no money for traveling. So pursuing travel is not always an option for everyone, although desirable. People who have money for leisure travels do not quite understand this.
I’m 25 living with my mom. I just hate working, and I don’t wanna be stuck in a dreadful 9 to 5 for 30 years. Maybe I’m lazy, but that sounds pretty depressing to me. If that’s what it takes to be independent, then I don’t care about independence. But I can respect anyone who wants to be.
Im 25 and i also used to think like you a few years back. As much as working sucks, trust me on this, but working a job will actually amplify who you are as a person. It will teach you many things that you simply cant learn otherwise.
With all due respect there is a sense of entitlement here and somewhat a lack of maturity, what if your mom said the same thing how would you live? Fact is if you want to live you need to work and that is easier for some than others, I totally get the viewpoint of it being depressing, I also think work is made "too important" and people could work less, find something you enjoy, maybe become a music teacher or something creative but it's not healthy to expect things to just come to you for free, lots of people hate working and don't worry rarely anyone truly works 9-5 consistently most doze off multiple times, call "someone", look at their phones rarely anyone who has an office job is gonna sit on their computer and focus for 8 hours non stop it's more so 2 hours then they work slower then a bit faster again, then slower, motivation also comes when you are doing something sometimes not before you do it and trust me when you're busy and actually have something to do (I work in the kitchen as an assistant and when it's busy time flies I do it for 15 hours trying to build up to 32 hours, because 32 hours Is a full work week in my country) time flies and you learn a lot about yourself. Try out a few things and if you hate everything then maybe there is a reason for that, I need to feel good at my job or I hate it even if I do something I like if I don't feel good I just can't do it for example, take your time just try to look at more perspectives, like if you made money you could help your mom out a bit just like how she helps you, the world is made up in my opinion and I believe everyone is different so its crazy to expect everyone to do the same but work teaches you discipline and responsibility which are qualities that can help you in your daily life as well, you just get more done
Dude I'm depressed and have a full time job. A lot of times I just want to go home and play video games. Itis stressful but I still work cause I dont want to be completely useless.
Plus on the weekends, when im home and not doing anything, my depression is twice as bad. I might be working and depressed but at least im not moping around and depressed.
I’m 42, single, no kids, and I’m currently working a job I can’t stand, but, on the bright side, I’m WFH. I enjoy being “independent”, but, I’m barely making it and sometimes I wonder if it’s all worth it just to be able to say I have my own place, I dunno….🤷🏽♂️
Thank you for being so open and transparent with us. I genuinely really needed this, I'm currently 23 years of age, living with my mother and unemployed. There's never really been a time I've been employed, at least not for a substantial amount of time due to a bunch of mental health issues and being in and out of hospitals since I was 12-19. I'm really trying not to give up hope but I feel like such a burden, everyone just thinks I'm lazy and maybe I am, but its so hard to find this spark in you to go above and beyond when you cant even see a future for yourself anymore in general. -A

For anyone going through this, I have something that you might need to hear:
Stop seeing your goals as a one way route
I realize that the reason I never actually get anywhere in my life is because I’m too fixated on a goal and I believe that the only way to reach that goal is to do this one thing that I got to do earlier / takes money to do, which become some sort of “excuse” on why I couldn’t reach that goal.
My tips is to focus on what you can do, not what you want to do, and go with it wherever it takes you. You can always revisit those goals later, but you can’t revisit the times passed doing nothing.
Easier said than done, but here’s a perspective, if you can’t achieve it, then it’s not yet within your reach, so try to lower the bar and climb it slowly, because there won’t be that magical moment where your dream suddenly fall on your laps and everything become the beautiful reality you want yourself to have.
Just take small steps and let it takes you wherever it goes, don’t fight it if it takes you away from your dream, because it might be the routes you’re not aware of, taking you right into where you see yourself in.
Thanks 🇧🇷👍
Here’s an update for anyone reading, my dream is to go to Europe and I thought I gonna achieve it through Scholarship. I apply again and again and it failed every time. I swallowed my pride and apply for job that I never thought will take me to Europe, but here I am planning for European Business Trip 😁 So you never know where life might take you.
Thank you so much for this. ✨
You are genuinely right.
thank you thats really good advice
Is it normal that I feel a bit jealous that you have parents to stay with? A few years ago I was living a “normal” life, working full time, nice apartment and having a social life. Never in my imagination had I thought I would have no home, no job, not one person to call.. and everything in my life would fall apart. That I would be all alone at 33. My parents kicked me out when I was 15, been alone ever since. I just want to end my life but I can’t even do that.
You have it in you man. You have done it earlier, you can do it again. You will soon be back to your normal life or even a better life.
More power to you🤗

I'm 26 years old,and I've got to admit life hasn't been kind to me in my 20s as I'm unemployed and living with my parents. People in my neighborhood look at me as a worthless person and being a burden to my parents. But they don't know behind the scenes that I send job applications each and every month and try to remain upbeat that something good will happen but it doesn't. I've even stopped dating girls as girls that I've dated are interested in being taken out for dinner to which I have no money

I am 43 and at one time I had ambition just like everyone else. At some point you have to accept reality. Your friends are not your friends. Your family doesn't care about you and the number one thing people care about is physical and financial support, that's it. Always remember we are a throwaway society and when you are old and unable to care for yourself you will be thrown into the trash. This concept is nothing new it's been like this for thousands of years.
That's a way at looking at things, try doing the opposite
Western society. Not the whole world acts like this.
You're perfectly right. This is the kind of society where you can only make it far by preying on the vulnerable and knowing how to scam people out of their money, legally if possible. How do I know this? I'm a self-made businessman at 25 that lied and bullshited his way to success. Play dirty, while pretending to be fair, and that's how you win at life.
That's not reality. You might me depressed and you 100% have a twisted percecption of the world. You can make real friends that care about you and love you. Your family can care about you. Of course people care about support in many ways, but they also care about connecting to you and sharing their lives with you, so we can all have more pleasant lives. When you're old, you might have friends and family that help you if you need it. You might also try to set yourself in a way where you won't need help, although that will not always be in control.
Life doesn't have to be miserable.
I'm turning 26 tomorrow and watching this inspirational video made me realise that it's okay to be not okay. The responsibilities I have in my life is choking on my neck but I feel like what you are doing right now is what I should be doing too because that's what my mind says to do. I'm working two jobs just to make my family happy. My perspective on how a life should be was completely changed by this short video. Thank you my friend.
Alot of 26yr olds are single some of them divorced , it's ok everyone has different timing, don't feel like you're behind , nobody's behind nobody's ahead , do your thing
I am living with my parents. After I got laid off from the pandemic, it was very hard for me financially. I understand everyone has their own stories and struggles. I still try to stay positive even if life isn't easy for me.
don't give up on yourself. Life will come easier soon, so, keep it doing your best, always.

No, do not do what makes you happy. Do what gives you meaning. Happiness can be short term. Drinking and gaming make me happy, but doesn’t give me meaning. Working makes me feel stress, but gives me an identity, income, and meaning.
Take it from me Will... after travelling across 65 different countries and still traveling and loving life, the most vital aspect to happiness is to follow your gut instincts and do what you truly love. Without freedom we are nothing.

26 is still young. I started my career around that age, now 40, I've build a successful career.
I am 22, younger than most people here, however, this is not the life I had expected even at 22. I was diagnosed with depression at 13, had pretty rough high school years. However, I got into college, again not the college or major I saw myself doing. I graduated with pretty good scores, got a job straight out of uni. It didn’t do well. Got fired within 3 months because the management and I had multiple disagreements and they did it without ever letting me know. I loved the job. As soon as I got fired I fell down the pit. I moved in with my parents, have tried applying to multiple jobs. Have tried so many things but I have no hope left anymore. I know I am young, but this seems like the end of it.

You're absolutely right ... life isn't easy. We all have to decide what makes us happy & fulfilled.
Sometimes our dreams deferred may teach us something about ourselves we need to know.
There's nothing wrong with living with your parents , indians and asians do live with their parents cause they care for you , helps you to grow up , prepare for your future , and in the old age they need your help so how can a child leave their parents ? Instead they should take care of them that's what our value teaches us , btw i am 29 i have severe anxieties and depression , it started 5 years ago ,went to a job once for sometimes after that i've quit cause it restricting my lifestyle , i wanna live my life on my own terms , I don't want a boss , so i started doing freelancing but my mental issues are interfering my work life aswell i wanna do something big and support my family but just this small problem always gets in my way and i couldn't do anything of it cause i am scared.

I am married, employed, have a son but I am still living with my parents (Flat prices in Europe have grown so much since Corona so my husband and I just try to save some money). But anyways, if you feel like a failure you should know: Things WILL get better. Try not to be too negative about yourself, stay calm. There were so many dark moments in my life, where I felt lost, useless and like a failure. But I kept looking forward to better days and they came. All in all, I am very grateful for the bad and the good moments I had in my life. Without the bad moments I would not be able to cherish the good things and I wouldn't be the person that I am today, they made me wiser and more grateful.

Hence why iv been watching your videos of turning your dads old car into a mini camper, watching your video has inspired me to get a small van/family saloon and convert into a home for myself.
You are a inspiration my friend, Nathan.
100% do it mate even if you don’t live in it full time the freedom you have to go and stay anywhere is great
I was married for 25 years. Abuse lots of years. Best part is my now 30 year old daughter. Been divorced for 4 years. I feel I wasted a large part of my life. But if I didn't have my daughter I'd be very lonely. Stay happy. You're words are good advice for this 62 but feel 40 year old!!
I’m 24 had a lot of abuse by ex boyfriends. So I live with parents, have cptsd... but I’m going to college this summer. And it’ll be paid for. I’m a clinical lab assistant, and will be a medical lab technician in about a year.
People have to stop thinking that they can go through life just doing things they like and find interesting. To do those things you have to work, usually at jobs you don't like. It's a trade off.
I recently learn that .
Go for it Will! I’m 28 living at home again during this pandemic. Doing digital marketing myself for estate agents which is going okay but I prefer travelling and making memories. I can’t go back into the 9-5 even if it paid me well. It’s depressing, I’d rather live on less and have the decisions myself not some company taking my time and dictating when I start & take a holiday. That’s just me though and I feel the same vibes from you.
We sound very similar mate, keep doing what you do!
Great video Will, I'm 27 (28 this September) also living at home. I do run a business and also I'm hugely into travel photography. I left a design job in London after 2 years when my business was doing well and lived in london another year before moving back with parents. I now enjoy spending time with family, our dog and exploring and traveling when I can. Id much rather be here than grinding 9-5. It's an easy way to waste your life if it's a job you don't love.
I don't understand your culture to move out of your parents house as soon as you turn 16, we latinos (a lot no everyone) tend to live with their parents even in their 30's and 40's and is not a big deal at least for us
Don't give up the fight! God sent you here for a purpose! I once read online "everybody wants happiness, no one wants pain... but you can't have a rainbow without a little rain"!!!

I’m glad CZcams recommended this, I feel better knowing there are so many others in my same situation.

Turning 28 this august, never had a job, no friends (I left all my friends), single (religious concerns). Meanwhile my younger brother has had a stable job for the past 3.5 years, and slowly accumulating wealth. At this point I'm not surprised if he's getting married before me. Everyday I feel like a waste of oxygen, but to be perfectly honest I'm not completely faultless. I do hold on to the hope that I'm gonna get out of the rut someday, but fuck man, when will it be? Everyday my remaining age is decreasing slowly but surely, and if I don't do something soon there won't be any chances left for me. Sometimes... I wish that things would just go my way already. I'm tired of living like this.
I turned 21 last 2 months n I feel the same as you do I never had a job, I don't have the same friends group I had in school cuz they keep asking *what your doing now?* n I don't ever feel like answering cuz they doing better than I am they got everything n I don't.

I always come back to watch this video. Now I finally making a comment. Thank you for making it. I just wanna say that I read somewhere that "no-one has their life together-no matter what they age they are-they are all just having a go at life!". Travelling is something I love to do also.
Very heart filled video and brave decision.
Cheers Alex!
This may sound weird but, I'm glad that some of these younger people get to live at home so that they can spend much quality time with their families. I lost my mother in September 2023 , so both parents are gone. Don't be hard on yourself about being unemployed. What I can suggest though is to do some deep inner reflection on what it is you want to do. I guess read books, actually talk to a therapist many of which do life coaching, life direction, career guidance. Don't give up, but put some thought into it & believe me you'll have the answer.
Well said... but coaching requires money.
I just turned 21, and I’m I’m in a great city and country. But I am unemployed. I don’t go to school and live with my parents. I don’t hang out with people outside. I deal with high anxiety feeling cramped, sharing a room with my brother. I get stressed and hyperventilate regularly due to this. But I truly believe I can change my position and the way my life has gone so far. And so can all of you. You’re not alone ❤️.
I'm 47. Three years ago I sold my profitable window cleaning business, burnt my bridges and followed my passion for Indian cuisine. It took 2 1/2 years to work and in that time I lost a home, a relationship and my pride. To stay sane I moved back in with my parents (at 45 that was harsh) and concentrated on my vision, to create an authentic "desi" Indian food business that offers premium speciality and regional dishes. I learnt to cook in India. I knew where my skill set was and what filled me with joy. I was skint for two years and really hit rock bottom. But now I have a thriving business and love every second I'm alive. I have a commercial kitchen, I sell out every week at farmers markets, and will be opening an Indian deli in 2021. So yeah, go for your dreams, because so long as you never give up, you WILL get there, it just takes time.

You have your whole life ahead of you. You can live with your parents at any age. Enjoy every moment. Travel, go on courses and hopefully you will find your passion and a life partner. Everything happens when it is meant to happen. Never force anything. Definitely follow your heart.

You still young and still have time to do what you want, find what your strenghts and start to see what job that you like or what hobby that you like and maybe can be a career later, those people who have jobs also get worse life so hang on you still have sooo much time! (Sorry for my bad english)
Write down your experience. I didn’t even watch this video and see so many comments of people in need.
You will look back one day and be so proud of what you’ve gone through. It may be time to try writing a book, pick up a paint brush, embark on a physical test, join the trades (and make bank, no I don’t do the trades, but great career)
Thanks for sharing this message mate, couldn't have said it any better. Very brave decision as well, it's not always easy to follow your gut instinct in the society we live in nowadays. Keep on going the way you go!
Thanks mate I will!
I’m sure your parents have given you much great advice. As a mom to someone about your age, I would only say, don’t put the pressure of your job being your passion. If your job enables you to have the funds to pursue your passions, it’s a necessary piece of the puzzle. Good luck! Look forward to your future vlogs. 😊
Thanks for the motherly advice very true and wise advice!
This is how my life is gonna be when I'm 27. I'm Gen Z, being unemployed, single and living in my parent's house by my late 20's is an inevitabiltiy.
Anyone with Parents still alive and willing to help are greatly blessed ❤
life never goes to plan mate just go with it and see what it brings you .....much love to you....a great and brave decision that many never make....he who dares wins
Good for you Will. It took me much longer to work out that we don’t have to make the daily slog to full time work and two weeks abroad each year.
Sounds like you’ve found your passion in seeing the world. Opportunities will
present themselves and they’ll feel right. I love and live by ‘we are never too old to dream out next dream.’ Good luck.
I’m 18, no degree and no job. All my friends started university but I failed my apprenticeship. I’m broke and depressed.
It’s going to be okay, you can still turn things around ❣️
@@youmeteacofeee Thankyou! I’ve applied for another job and I’m going to try and work my way up there ❤️
Your still young! Get another trade😊
@@bbcisaids6727 Thankyou! Starting pharmacy in March! Hopefully I can pass the apprenticeship and maybe move to level 4

34 single, living in my parent's home and surrounded by war zone and life has no meaning
Which war u talking about?
go for it dude! we're all in this together, right? you inspire more than you realize. xoxo
Great message, i'm 61 have no regrets, just remember my friend, your parents also have dreams/goals, don't over stay your welcome, use your time wisely. Be safe!!
Thank you, I will
You don't look 61
I know there are the “ideals” the media and people around us expect. But I think it also comes down to how you view things. Being unemployed means you can take the time to really find something you would be passionate about or take the time to learn a new skill. Being single is not a bad thing lets you grow as an individual and value yourself without the need for someone else. Living with your parents is very common in other countries surrounded by people who love you, only in the US is that frowned upon. Just take the time to reflect and challenge your perceptions :)
Hi
I’m 28 and in bankruptcy after thinking I’d be married with kids and a home by now. It’s so f’in hard out here. Both of my parents are homeless, abusive narcissists, wish I had one to rely on. I just need a break.
Dont give up my brother,keep moving forward,you are amazing and beauthifull
I am in this rut as well. I do not know what i want from life and I feel like time is running away from me while i am still figuring out. I do not know if i can make it.
I hope anyone reading this find their purpose and find the will to go towards it, with all passion and grit.
Your doing it right Will, follow your dreams. There are opportunities everywhere, carry on doing the videos are they are great. Try and find a niche for your videos and you'll be fine. Take each day as it comes👍
Same! I too feel like Im just not good enough. I feel scared and hopeless every single day of my life. Even with a masters degree, I have not been called to a single interview yet. Im 27. I feel like ending it all everyday. Anxious and depressed. I have started to doubt myself and my skills. I passed my masters with a distinction, yet after facing so much of anxiety and depression from failures, I feel like I dont deserve the degree and I dont deserve the life that i have. Even if i do get a job, I might have imposter syndrome. I was once a very confident person with a lot of pride in my skills and knowledge. Now, Im just plain garbage.
Success doesn’t come to you
you have to go out there and find it (easier said then done but it’s the truth)
This is coming from an unemployed 22 year old without any degrees or plans to get one
Always remember it could always be worse
Kinda rich coming from me but maybe it’ll help 🤷♂️
I’m 24 and unemployed, autistic, virgin, single, living with grandparents with no real life experience except for when I tag along with other people as a doormat and copious forms of abuse. I’m constantly reminded everyday of how nobody truly understands me, and every time I’ve spoken out about my pain, I’ve been either ignored, dismissed, abused, belittled, shamed, and overall gaslighted into being treated like garbage. Whether it’s friends, family, strangers, it’s all the same. The only thing that seems to matter to me anymore is my music, and even that gets frowned upon by my family. It’s to the point where I’ve succumb to a plethora of addictions just to feel something, which these days not even those help either. Not to mention the promises of false hope only serve to throw salt on an open wound. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t contemplate ending it all, and I really don’t want to go out that way, though I can’t find a way out of my situation and I feel stuck and alone.
Hey man, I just wanted to drop by to say I am in a similar situation as you. I too, have a passion in the arts that gets pushed aside by others such as family, friends etc. and was negatively judged for being unemployed.
Furthermore, I feel isolated from the rest due to this & them not understanding my issues. I can relate to you heavily & want to tell you to stand up for yourself & not let others put you down. You must realize you have value. From what I read in your comment, I can tell that you’re a highly intelligent individual & I also took a look at your music video & can tell you are quite good at making music.
Don’t listen to what the people who try to bring you down might say, instead focus on your own path & use that as fuel to succeed. This may involve getting out your shell though & getting into the world, but it’s never too late!
For now, I would recommend going to therapy to cope with any issues you currently experience or any trauma in the past. They can also help you be able to get out of your shell a little. Keep making music, maybe get a job as well to save up for any expenses needed to further expand your music career. Remember, you’re still young & have a lot of time to hone in & get better at your craft! Enjoy following your passion & don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
Good video Will, just split up with my girlfriend after 7 years. Its totally destroyed me but she has to follow her dream and I can't go with her. At 43 years old who knows where my road and journey will take me, but like you say you have to do things that make you happy. That's a great message to put out there for people 👍
I'm 47. 3rd world country. Living with parent. No money. No job. My mother is dead father almost 80 and he still gives me money to live on,we don't live together. But he hasn't helped me beyond subsistence living and starves me at will. I have 0 friends No gf or wife. I feel hopeless and suicidal at times. Maybe I should start a CZcams channel to share my story bcos I don't see a 20something y.o or even 30something in the prime of his life having a serious problem at all. They still have their lives in front of them
Am 34, single and I resigned my job on Dec2023, I was working in a factory where the payment was a what we call a middle income. I worked there for ten years but was fed up and I quit. Now am on to self employment to see if my life would change and maybe get myself a wife, sometimes the loneliness s burning though being introverted. But I urge anyone reading this not to give up, hope is what keeps me going.
I really hope your right, I'm in different place but I left my job as a CNA I just couldn't do it anymore after I took care of my pappy watched him die or causes me trauma even tho caring for him wasn't traumatic.. idk. But I'm 30 single mother of two little humans and I never give up on them I have been applying for anything at this point I've been out of work for a month now but interviewing had been hard I suck at interviews to begin with I'm shy and have anxiety I freeze up but the jobs I applied said they had daylight then when I interview they're like we don't have daylight availability only evenings. I don't have family or friends to watch them I'm always with them, but even since COVID daycares in my area are closing down or they aren't open past 5pm or open weekends at all so I mean what am I do to?
I don't know if you will read this but your video really resonated with me. I'm 28, nearly 29, on disability benefit I'm visually impaired, I'm still live at home in a single parent household. My best friend my only real friend passed away last year. I feel like my life hasn't started. I know I got to keep going I'm fearing being a 30 something single guy still living at home but feel trapped. I just wanted to thank you for your heartfelt and motivational message as I think it's what I needed. Take care - Anthony.
Hope you’re well Anthony!
@@soindifferent_ yes doing OK thanks for asking. I'm still more or less where I was a few months ago but I'm coming to terms with it and perhaps it's just not my time. I'm hoping for a better 2023 for everyone.
Anthony, don't lose hope, sending you lots of love
Why are you down casted because you are 30 and single? Things are not as bad as you think.

Watching this as I just turned 27 today... unemployed, single, lonely and recently got rejected by someone to whom I really have genuine feelings. seeing all the people of my age in relationships, getting married, starting new jobs, etc. it hurts so much and it just gets worse every year, feels like I'm sitting here and watching my life passing by, while I can't do anything about it.
Nice video and righteous message! I am 38 now. I made mistakes and I regret none of them. Life is very hard. Stay curious. Everything will work out.
