what am I doing with my life? I have a job but it doesn't help me get out of the house I feel slightly isolated, I'm getting blamed for not having a job yet when I find one all I ever get told is "you can't do that". something to add on to that is I don't have a love life. what am I doing wrong in my life? am I going to be alone the rest of my life?

      The people who are telling you “You can’t do that,” are likely trying to hold you back. If they are a parent, they may get a sense of satisfaction in keeping you dependent on them because it makes them look good / like martyrs. You work and they say it’s not good enough. You try to find a better job and they say “You can’t do that.” I’ve been in similar situations before, with my family. I understand how hurtful it is. If I’m misunderstanding the situation, I apologize. I think you should follow your ambitions and desires and if you want to take a certain job, you should try it whether they like it or not If transportation is an issue, I know that can be complicated too. It doesn’t sound like you’re doing anything wrong. It sounds to me like there are people who don’t want you to reach your full potential because they have issues of their own. What I’m trying to say is that I hope you can make decisions based on what your aspirations & desires are, despite what others may say.

        @tigershark98 well its kind of that but also they have guardianship of me because of my seizures and epilepsy, that's why my mom thinks I'm some porcelain doll or something.

          @hydroepilepic21 I’m sorry that she is so overprotective. I would hope that if you can prove to her that you are capable of more than she thinks, that eventually she could become less overprotective, let you make your own decisions and approve of your accomplishment whether that is a different job or another thing that is important to you. I don’t know her personality so maybe that doesn’t sound like how she would be. But I really hope that the words/actions they might take don’t keep you from pursuing what you want. You know you’re capable of more than she realizes and I really hope that you get the chance to do what you want to, regardless. I just have some regrets about not “fighting enough” sooner when my family tried to keep me from working, sabotaged my jobs & told me “give up, already” over & over.
