Do you just power through it when it comes to employment/working?
As embarrassing as it is to say (or rather type), i'm in my mid 20's and i've never had a proper job or gotten anywhere near close to having something resembling a higher education degree, i've so far been surviving through the good graces of my parents which have been kind and patient enough to not kick me out, even though we're a low-low income family.
And aside from being embarrassing, this is obviously untenable for me in the long run, the two most precious things in my life right now, my parents and time, will not be here forever to keep me in this comfortable status quo. Not to mention many of my emotional problems would be solved by me having an income, even the thought alone that i'm not just sitting all day. Plus plus plus a thousand more good justifications.
But all the problems in my head still keep me chained to my room all day. The double whammy of being both socially anxious and lazy, the fact that i live in a small balkan city with very restricted job opportunities and no way out, having to pick low skill jobs like car washing or odd jobs, the terrifying aspect of me having to work for balkan boomers..
It really sucks that i'm still this way considering i've gotten over most of my past self-esteem issues, i'm lonely and would really like a partner, i consider myself an average looking guy and confident enough to approach an average looking lady, but i feel like a kid being the way i've described above and it just becomes a barrier when it comes to relationships. It feels like if i can just get over this one bottleneck i'll be completely unrestrained, let loose on the world.
So am i just being a wuss and need to get over it? Are there any tips and tricks on how to advance in life that you'd like to share?
