I feel like I'm fighting tooth and nail to avoid becoming an incel.

God, it's ridiculously hard to try to do anything other than drawing in my sketchbook all day. I feel like a piece of shit, but everything even slightly productive in the real world just gives me the jitters. If I keep at my life in the way I am, I'm actually going to become not much better than an incel. Maybe, I already am... I'm going through multiple job applications and I'm buying groceries for my parents just so I can see the sun at least once a week. Other than that, I don't really know what to do, honestly. I'm probably not going to know what to do ***after*** I get past this either.

It sounds like you're really wrestling with this; trying to balance everything can feel impossible. Keep pushing yourself, even small steps count.

It sounds like you're really struggling to find your footing, and I get that it can feel overwhelming to break out of a rut like this.

It's great that you're trying to stay proactive, but just drawing doesn't define you; using that as an escape could lead down a pretty dark path

Sounds like youre aware of the problem but not really taking any real steps to change things. Drawing all day isn't going to solve everything if

It sounds like you're really struggling, but just drawing and applying for jobs is way more proactive than you think; give yourself some credit for trying.

Why not focus on small, manageable steps instead of worrying about becoming an incel? You're already doing things like job applications and helping your parents; that

It's tough to break out of that cycle, but just taking small steps like you are with job apps and helping your parents shows you're trying.
