I'm making money, but I can't appreciate its value as I live with my mother and father.
I don't know how to drive, and I can't learn because we're working too much.
I don't know where to go. One of my "friends" stopped talking to me after we graduated. My sister moved out of the house 3 weeks ago. I'm very lonely, and I don't intend to attend a college. My father talks to me, and he only makes me contemplate suicide because of the topics he brings up.
I need companionship. Its been 3 years since I've really experienced such a thing. I fear that I've been metaphorically dead, and I can no longer appreciate video games because I don't have anything else. I only have 1 person to talk to, and we can't connect outside of creative projects.
Where can I go to make friends in real life?
I've had too much time alone.

So there is a lot you could do. Try working out more for starters. It's an amazing excuse to get out of the house everyday. 6 months in if you do it right you'll have a easy lay tindr profile.
Start planning for your 21 first birthday? Find even minor acquaintances and make an event on Facebook.
Start going to concerts, make it a point to talk to people.
Think of avenues to get out of the house, maybe you could attend university.

If you haven't already, branch out on social media. This makes it incredibly easy to find people that sooorta remember you and group up. Make yourself seem cool on the profile.
You could even post pictures on your Facebook profile from your 21st birthday.. see?
Boxing is another amazing one to be honest, it's just an excuse to socialize.

Also fuck not driving, DO IT. GET YOUR SISTER TO HELP YOU.
Ffs your being a perpetual teenager. You have a chance to get out of this! Get your license! Start doing shit outside the house. Look to a different field sounds like you hate carpentry.

You've got no excuse as you've got finances.
Just get an Uber driver to take you to and fro from driving school. They've got cars for you to use and everything.

Before you can start making good friends you have to be comfortable alone. I know it's hard when you've probably always felt alone, but you have to find that comfort with yourself anyways. Therapy could help with that, exploring more creative activities and working out may help as well. What you have to do is find what makes you valuable, what it is about you that people will appreciate. I know it sounds corny but you are valuable. This is coming from someone who has always had trouble finding value in people, who always brushed people aside because they seemed dumb, worthless, awkward, etc. But I started to notice something recently: the problem was with me. I had trouble seeing the good in people. What I'm trying to say is that everyone has great value, whether other people recognize that value or not. It may take you a long time to find this kind of value in yourself, but if you work hard at it and want to find it, you will, and everyone around you will be attracted to that kind of self-awareness and drive to improve. I've never met you and I know you are valuable, simply because I've never met anyone who wasn't.
