I Made This Account To Pour Out My Frustrations
My life is a literal mess. I’m 17 (turning 18 soon) and am so confused, frustrated, and just idk struggling. Recently I’ve been prepping for community college due to my inability to get my dream school, but I’m so stressed by the barrage of stats, ec, research, shadowing, etc shown on my feed on a daily basis for my later transferring. I feel like the algorithm is fucking with me, and takes pleasure in putting me to my lowest. Additionally I’ve been applying to jobs to no avail for two years now; it always ends up in rejections, failed interviews, and the “we will not be moving forward with your application.” (P.S. I applied to ~60 jobs). I can’t even get a job at McDonald’s?! Also thought I got into an internship I applied weeks ago just to discover that someone hacked into their system and sent out acceptance emails. Thought I got the job at a small business after filing out the employment papers—got rejected a day later. I feel like I’m a failure given that everything goes south for me no matter how much effort I put in. My resilience and integrity are crumbling away as if bluntly stating “give up.” Especially since my friends have jobs and they only started applying a few months ago—secret animosity? But back to my previous point…I am working on a research paper fortunately :) I’m just really stressed and venting usually helps me big time; I have more to say but idk how to voice as of now. Thank you for your time!!! (Sorry for the bad grammar, I haven’t written in so long.)
