No, if you have a mental illness it's just a smart move for you to live at home. It's perfectly normal.
And no it doesn't make you unattractive.
Good luck finding love nevertheless :)
Living at home doesn't automatically make you unattractive. When I was your age it would have been considered very odd, which is where I think this stigma has come from, but things were very different then. Jobs were easy to come by and rent and house prices were affordable on a young person's salary.
That's all changed now. It's become quite common for people to continue living with their parents even into their early 30s.
I'll be honest though- if you're living at home with your parents AND not working then you will probably struggle to be taken seriously in the dating world.
No it depends on the reason. A lot of people live at home at that age actually, or move back home after a relationship ends for example. If you have a mental illness and still want to move out there's help you can get to make it mostly on your own and to find ways to structure your days. You should start there and not focus so much on finding a partner, that will come naturally when you're ready. It's best to at least have a plan first anyway and not put all the responsibility for your wellbeing on a partner, that's kinda selfish. If you don't know where to turn for the correct support maybe you can talk to your parents about it and you can look it up together.
Meh, yes and no. You're a woman so the "living with parents" isn't in itself going to deter a man from being interested in you for that alone but if your mental illness is to the point it prevents you from living independently then that will play a factor of how attractive you are overall.
depends one of my brothers and three of my sisters still live with our parents. my brother is just cheap as hell but he is working one of my sisters is autistic the other two have jobs but one did move out and had to move back in and the other is still looking for a place to live. I travel alot and I am technically homeless but I do work and live from hotel to hotel sometimes I drop by my parents house and live with them for a bit and then I leave again.
From a guy's perspective, no. I think girls often don't like it if you live at home when you're older, but guys care less about that kind of stuff.
But how am I supposed to tap dat pussy though? Parents in the house is a total boner killer
It makes sense for somebody vulnerable. Most of my friends are living at home until they are married because of culture, and they are doing just fine with career paths etc. And I know that it is harder to get a job now then ever, and a house.
Maybe you could prosper in the rural areas where the housing is cheaper and life is quieter. How limiting is your mental illness?
It is not specifically unattractive as long as your parents allow you to live an independent life.
If you need a supporting partner due to mental health issues it may very well be viewed as a positive by those who understand such issues.
I wish you well...
