Just a post to dump the thoughts I've been keeping to myself

I've been a bum for the past 5 years. The pandemic really screwed me over in addition to my terrible mental health at the time. I dropped out of college and have been mooching off my parents hospitality since. I do help a bit in the family business but only just. After doing my responsibilities, I go home and just... browse reddit or youtube on my bed. 5 years of this and I'm starting to get tired of being the failure in my family. Recently, though, I think I've taken a step in the right direction.
I've gotten into my first real hobby a few months back, like one that I actually spend money on frequently and think about all the time. It's improved my happiness a bit and It's given me the opportunity to learn a new skill. I suck at it and I have some unfinished projects but it's more than I did in the past 5 years. It's a very, very, very small step but I think I'm actually making progress.
In the following months since I started, I've started to drain my savings. So naturally, I thought of how to make money: getting a job.
I've never had a job before; I've never applied, never took OJTs, and never made a resumé. I also don't have any social skills that don't end with me stuttering,

If we’re being honest, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s the part people are stuck on That’s what changes the context. Time will tell.

To be fair, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s the key detail here. Feels like there’s more coming here.

Trying to be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this which is why the comments look the way they do Let’s see what happens next. That’s just my read on it.

If we’re being honest, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
