Is it nomal that i never pursue/had a job and i'm going on 26

i never pursuea job.

i dont konw why really it mite be because im lazy but even in my teens when i was very very active everyday i never went out to get a job.

the world is base on country and each country have its own currancy and this currancy is what we all call money and when we have this so called money we can do anything we want.

everything we all want to do,cost money and in order to get this money we need to do some type of work,and work invols business aka psychical labor mental labor and emotional labor.

I do know why we all need a job,for many reason's.

1. for money,so that we can expand are choicesin life.
2. for mental and emotional and psychical exersize.
3. to meet new people.
4. to expand your choises in life.

and we dont only do this for our selves but the ones we love.money makes a better life for us all.

but that does not make a person happy.

just make us feel less lonely are less alone.

sorry for the bad grammer

in truth i fear work,i fear haveing a job,i had a job b4 it was more like a temp job i try to be open to the guy express my self and in the end he seem to hated me he talked so down on me like i was nothing.not only here but other's also.

    How about becoming a farmer? You could focus on taking care of your land and your optional animals, that should provide steady income if you make/sell products from them. What about a beekeeper?

    ermmm no offense but if english is meant to be your first language, then maybe you have some kind of learning disability which could also explain the joblessness..

    • good guess.

      actully sense i was a kid i had a learning disability,like i was slow.

      i had social phobia and that phobia now adays(26yr had caused other's to judge me in a way that i think is not true,they call me stupid,retard,slow,even make jesture's.

      but dont get me wrong i dont think im stupid are retarted,i just think that i have some type of phobia that keep me from doing things in a way that i can be myself wile im doing it(not to sound counfusing).

      like getting a job and the fear of job.

      my mind tell me that a job is a good thing.

      my feelings tell me that dont go you gonna be judge in a wrong way like your not good enough.if you go people gonna look at you stupid.

      when in my though i think to my self its a good thing so people gonna feel happy for me and help me.

      like i want a job but scared of a job.also with money and relationship's.i know this sound silly even i dont understand it.

      but im not stupid,even tho i do admit i'm illiterate when it comes to writing and reading.

        Nah man I understand completely, I didn't meanto hurt your feelings. I have/had the same problem about social phobia and worried what others think. It just takes practice, I know I never believed that either, but the fact I felt like I was letting it waste my life is what got me motivated to not care as much what others think and focus more on improving myself so they won't think badly of me at all.sometimes I wonder if people in real life think I'm retarded too, I'm pretty much just socially retarded though. But I don't want to waste my life anymore, so I just threw myself out there and the anxiety is going away, but I also take meds- a lot of people look down on that but it helps you to open up and you may want to talk to a counselor as well. now I don't really need the meds anymore for anxiety and been working to get off them.

        • i;m scared to take meds cause what others would think of me.

          my family cause so much hurt in me that it led me ever futur down in to social phobia.

          when i try to trust others with my phobia hoping it would get better in the end it get worse cause the person end up expoliting me and its mostly my family and so called friends

    Wow...I'm like reading your post and your comments and I can relate almost 100%. You are not alone my friend. I have social anxiety even though I come off as normal at first. People will eventually notice my awkwardness. Right now I have a serious job for the first time ever. I'm 22. I have had other jobs before but then took like a 3 year break and I just lack basic office work and my co workers look at me like I'm slow. What they don't understand is the fear I have for working with people, afraid everyone is watching me, and doing something stupid. Eventually, all of that happens. It sucks but it feels better to know we're not alone.

  • Its hard enough for recent university graduates to even find a job in their field of study, unless you become a doctor or something along those lines. Unemployment is way higher than you'd expect right now. Sadly without any work experience at this moment in history you can expect having a very difficult time finding even the worst of jobs.

    How do you sustain your existence without steady income?

    Comment Hidden ( show )
  • It's normal to hate working but you are going to have a hard time supporting yourself when your parents aren't around to live off of.

    If you have a learning disability you can probably get on disability benefits, which will help but still isn't much. It takes a while to get as well. I get ssi and it took me about 7 years to get approved. It's quite a process to go through.

          • Do you take any medication for that? I take meds for the schizoaffective diagnosis which is basically in between schizophrenia and bipolar. They work pretty good for me and most those symptoms are gone but it took me quite a while to get medicated properly.

        Whoa nellie, kinda defensive there considering I haven't made any rude comments yet. I know you're afraid of being judged, but I don't appreciate someone making presumptions.

        At the very least, I think you ought to try getting a part time job. Maybe you can find a place that offers job training to individuals with learning disabilities and mental health issues. Your parents aren't going to live forever. You might end up on disability and the truth of the matter is those people with little or no work history receive substantially less should they qualify for disability. In the end you're only hurting yourself.

    Do something that makes you happy. Everyone has to pull their own weight. And you are old enough to go off and live at a commune or something like that if you don't want a job - not that I recommend that.

    • i think you are so right,cause that's the only thing that make sense to me out of all the things that i notice,cause i would fear things even after i have done them.and i realize there's nothing to be scared of after i have done them,but yet i still be scared.

      if i talk to someone and it went ok and the next time i see them i mite be so nervious and it still went good.but then the 3 time again i mite try to avoid them.

      is this anxiety.

        Yes it's social anxiety. But Xanax is addictive, something like Zoloft might be better.
