To be so humiliated about the fact I have achieved nothing with my life?

[FlinchGirl]

And I really mean nothing.

I'm 24 and I still live at home with my parents. I have never had a full time job, I have only worked in dead end part time catering jobs. I want an admin assistant job and a full time one at that but I never even get to the interview stage. I have had interviews for jobs in retail and for bar work but they all end in rejection.

I feel like such a screw up because I have done nothing with my life. I have no friends and have never really had them. I have never had a boyfriend.

I am currently studying with the open university and I will get a BA (Hons) degree at the end of it assuming I manage to complete it but I'm not sure how it will be viewed. I will be at least 27 by the time I finish it and I don't know if it will be too late to start a career in my late 20s

I feel so sad because everyone else my age is out there enjoying their careers, getting married, having babies and just generally out having fun and living their lives. Yet here's me who is still working part time in catering at the age of 24 whilst studying online part time and living at home with no life whatsoever and in desperate need to lose weight.

Have I completely screwed my life up?

You could easily get a job with that degree - v transferable - finance, corporate governance, government - it could work for many roles!

What area of the country are you job searching in? Perhaps people might have heard of jobs going?

Listen up OP, you have loads of time to do things! Don't worry if you see lots of things about what people are doing on Facebook or other social media . Most people don't put their bad days up online and there are plenty of us who have bad days. There is such pressure on us to have everything and do everything, there is nothing wrong with doing small things.

It sounds like you might have problems with self esteem and if you don't address this then you'll find it hard to move your life forward in the direction you want. Firstly it sounds like your parents may be a bit too reliant on you. Try and dissociate from them a little and don't let other people put down your choices.
Start a health plan or weight loss as doing something for yourself will help you realise your needs are important too. Have you finished your degree, why with a PPE degree are you limiting yourself to admin assistant roles?
You have to believe in yourself first for other people to believe in you

You could go travelling? Explore the world and go on your own big adventure. Can you complete your OU degree in another country? Your still young enough to get working holiday visas for new Zealand and Australia. I know you help care for your mum but could you have alternative arrangements in place if travelling is something you wanted to do?

And start doing small achievements that you have an interest in, like, going a hillwalk or joining a hobby club that interests you.
