Why is my mental health always stopping me from building a future?
I worked at Mercedes as a spray painter and I was treated like a piece of shit, I couldn't handle it more than 1,5 years there. Now I'm back home without a job and not knowing what to do.
I'm 23 years old, I should have had my own place and a nice car, a good job and a woman at my side. Instead I have fuck all.
Pic sorta related. I used to have these, but I had to sell them.
>I should have had
By whose standards?

Co-worker had all that and he was 24

I'm almost 23 too and just finished my bachelor's degree and I don't have any of these either. I know what it feels like to compare yourself to others and feeling worthless. Fix yourself smaller goals and slowly build your self esteem brick by brick. A nice car, a woman and a good job won't necessarily bring you happiness. It must come from within.

We were good work-buddys. We went out for drinks and he always had multiple friends there too.
I had none of this shit. I'm a disappointment to my family and to myself. I'm facing months of stationary treatment (the fuckin nuthouse) and I make up bullshit excuses when people ask me why I don't work anymore.

You have a degree though. I was so fucking lucky to land a job at Mercedes with only a high school diploma. They gave me a chance and I fucked up in the end. Those who put me down still have their job and their lives and I have nothing.

....
You quit your job and you're pissed you dont have money

I didn't quit, I was fired because I started going at the people who put me down.

Many people did. Many didn't and many had less than you. No point in comparing yourself to your sissy coworker, I bet you have or can do some things he can't

I'm 23 as well, finishing my master's. My friend is the same age as me and he's getting married this year, has a stable job and a nice car.
I don't have any of these. On the other hand I'm finishing a nice degree, know 2-3 languages, have decent savings and I don't have to work to support family. I also have some other strong points that he doesn't.
The point is, you are you, you don't have to compare to everyone else and should focus on accomplishing your goals.
I've been guilty of feeling bad comparing myself to others too, but it's pointless.

yeah, dont do that either. If you're going to work a low-skill job like painter, you're going to need to put up with eating shit, because your job could be done by a teenager, or a mexican, or a fucking robot. so if you're going to be a drama queen, you're going to lose that job

I know it sounds cliche, but at least you put yourself out there and tried, Anon. It's better than what those NEETS at >>>/r9k/ have done
