    That sounds like a very severe case of untreated depression. I know anon is 33 but where the fuck were his parents for the first 20 years of their life?

      The last 2 lines of the text make it sound like bait if the 6-figure thing wasn’t a joke (otherwise, delusional). Depression likely, if not other health issues that led to this.

      I am not quite as bad as the text but for me: parents are doing their own thing (these days, computer time), almost as isolated as I am.

      It probably helps that I do tasks for them (mostly sweeping, unloading dishwasher/garbage, carrying firewood etc). Not that I can do much given that I, much like they (who are anti-doctor), have untreated health issues. Seemingly is enough they don’t threaten to kick me out (though maybe they know that I would just leave with no place to go, and likely die).

      Also it was unlikely in car-centric areas of the USA as-it-was

      but I don’t think there’s hard-working out of this after medicaid is gutted (not that was even an easily accessible path before).

      Maybe anon can lose 50 pounds, get a hobby, and leave the house a few times a month when the weather is nice… but probably not getting a job/moving out with no help while the government implodes and normal people were already struggling to pay bills.

      The parents were most likely thinking that the problem will resolve itself and it’s just temporary. Speaking as a person that will write a similar greentext in 9 years.

        I hope you find something you are interested in

        My life would be much easier now and Id be able to buy whatever I wanted if I had applied myself earlier instead of just coasting and partying
