Be me age 22, never did anything significant in my life. Played video games 24/7 since i was 10 to avoid shitty life i had and abusive stepdad. Never dated, always was the funny cool friend, always got in trouble at school. Started smoking weed at 16 and doing tabs. The next 6 years were a blur dont really know wtf happened i was high and drunk or playing vidya. Long story short i just got a mail from debt collectors saying i owe at least 8k in debt i blew off. Wtf do i do? im a poor fgt and i got like 20 bucks on my bank account. Should i just kill myself and avoid it all. eight thousand dollars to pay off at 22 with a waiter wage is impossible im past the point of no return.
The possibility of you killing yourself or just packing your shit up and moving very far away with a new name and shit is probably on their mind as well. Put yourself in the shoes of the debt collectors: they have two possibilities here.
1 - Scare you into paying your debt
2 - spend some money to sue your broke ass for those 20$ you've got.
They have no way of forcing you to pay the debt besides suing you or scaring you into it. They cant force you into anything. So far, option one has succeeded, you're scared. However, don't panic and think all is lost. That doesn't work for you or them. Realize how much power you have in this situation. They're asking YOU for money. Talk to those soulless life sucking money grubber shitheads and let them know they'll get their fucking money, but on your terms. Decide on a payment plan. Make it one you can easily follow through on. STICK TO THE PLAN. Don't let them spook you into making bigger payments or paying early. Call those bastards and let them know you're 22, you're a waiter, and if they aren't willing to negotiate with you then you may be likely to do something crazy or dangerous which might leave those debts uncollected for a VERY long time. You have the power here my man.

go work at wal mart for five years. get laid off. get unemployment. then get disability due to medication induced bipolar disorder but doctor believes i always had it. sure. whatever. be neet for next five years.
multiple jobs or ridiculous amount of hours of work no matter how low the wage can really add up.
Stop being a cuck and do something about it. There's this idea in the west called "pick up your damn suffering and bear it". You can make a better life for yourself but it will start with accepting some responsibility. You can do it, just for fucks sake stop telling yourself a cuck story about why you're a victim. Of course you're a victim, but so is everybody. Be a man and reduce your suffering

Join the Navy. Not for life, but... just for some structure, a change of pace, see the world a bit.
I was in the same place at 22. Was trying to kill myself living in the basement of my brother's place. Figured, what the fuck, I could give it a shot and worst case, still had the option to off myself.
Military wasn't all fun, and honestly, there are more idiots in there than you meet in the regular world, but man... I got to operate in a submarine and towards the end, drove a destroyer in surface fleet, while seeing the Pacific and enjoying the best damn food in my life (at port, not in the messhall). Only did a 6 year stint, as I decided I wasn't a lifer, but did put things a bit more in perspective for me.
