Summary: I live in the UK; I did very well at school; I went to my nearest university (ranked 100 - 200 in the world); I did a STEM degree I really hated with zero effort but graduating with an acceptable grade; spent the last two years wasting sickeningly large, gigantic, herculean amounts of free time on the internet and working very few hours in retail jobs while living with parents; have had zero social life since I left school; I failed gigantic amounts of graduate job interviews due to bad social skills; I have a temporary internship with a "prestigious" public sector body in London starting next week.

Just a few thoughts: I feel intellectually worthless because I don't know mathematics at a deep level. I feel worthless in practical terms because I don't know programming. I feel like a lower caste because I didn't go to a university with as high a reputation as I could've gone to (went to my nearest one), though I have no debt.

What is the life plan? I know I'm simplifying things, but it seems that you're either working in high finance, or have somehow made money from your own software company (a lottery), or working in a cushy famous software company, (or an academic but that's not an option after I hated my undergrad degree and put in minimal effort)... or you're a big loser. The corporate world seems like a rigged game that I will never succeed in because I'm an unattractive and nerdy looking person.

I am glad my job is temporary, I want to postpone the beginning of my career. I know you may say, "Welcome to the real world!" but hopefully fellow losers can empathise with my view that being in the real world is fun and games when you're surrounded by Normie clones or are Chad / Stacey, but it's a different game when you're not like them. It also doesn't help that I don't have a posh or southern English accent or even a "bantz with da ladz" person. This reduces my hopes of ever playing the vacuous networking / typical career nonsense.
