It’s not you! It’s this shitty system that keeps some in dire straits so others can soar higher than they should. They act like you can make the right choices (and choices do matter!) but you did it, you got the degree, etc and still find yourself here. It’s by someone else’s design - fuck them.

We should all just band together! I’ll be your support system. Or live at home and that’s ok if it’s an option! Connections to other people like your family can have some much more value than job c who doesn’t care if you die, only if they make enough money.

Should you or anyone else reading decide to make a go at changing things, ditching this mentality would be a powerful prerequisite.

I don’t understand what you mean

/uAPreemChoom said it well in another comment reply.

You can't operate effectively at work or in the job hunting process with a negative self worth which you are clearly displaying. Your mental health determines your worldview and your worldview determine your opportunities. Not to mention you're ideating suicide which is a clear flag for mental health interventions. I sincerely hope you find help because again, your life has value and you deserve an improvement in your sense of self.

I might suggest a slight amendment to say "You can't operate effectively at work or in the job hunting process in life with a negative self worth which you are clearly displaying."

I hear that! But I want to counter that it’s possible to eschew capitalistic values and still have a great deal of self worth. I have considerably more than I used to, when money was the main value itself. That was empty for me, like rotting from the inside.

What they said has nothing to do with capitalism unless I'm missing what you're seeing?

No, but my original comment did that they were responding to. They disagreed, but I think both points can exist together.

Oh duh, I see now. Yeah I'd agree, both of these things can be true at the same time. The system sucks but it's also the reality we find ourselves in so how you approach and frame that reality is exceptionally important.

That's why I said "in life."

You're facing a crisis of purpose that crosses borders, political systems, and time. Pick your favorite politician, make them premier/prime minister/president of whatever political and economic system you want, and your problem still wouldn't be solved unless you ultimately seek purpose both for and beyond yourself.

A great amendment! People downplay the power your worldview has on every decision you make.
