Oh (((((over))))))) please don't be ashamed of posting here. And it is not a bad topic at all. There are other people here that feel like they are behind as well and they are older than 22. 22 is still very young yet. Most likely your parents are not giving you any incentive and they probably never did.

Maybe you could do some telemarketing or something from home for work. I guess you would have to check out the internet and see what may be available for an at home kind of job. I don't see where you live, does your dad have a lawn mower, perhaps you could cut some of the neighborhood lawns. You could make up a flyer and put it in some mail boxes. Then you would only have to meet with a customer once to see how they want their lawn done. You could work outside and even rake leaves in the fall. Ofcourse I don't know where you live, but if it is in the suburbs somewhere you could start your own little business. A lot of people who are not really good at working directly with people do their own kind of small lawn business and build from there.

And you don't have to work in a fast food place, what about your local grocery store.
They are always looking for people to do night shifts and stock shelves etc. That way you would be working at night with less contact with people. And there are Home Depots all over you could see if they hire too in the stocking department.

My father in law used to go and clean a restaurant early in the morning when no one was there. He was retired and wanted to keep working.

I am just thinking of places to find work that will help you get going with other things in your life, like therapy.

But you need to find a way to get a driver's license.

So, your not where other people are in life, no one really is, everyone has issues that they hide. Your probably the kind of person that needs to work places that don't deal with servicing people directly. Not everyone is a socialite.

You have to put one foot in front of the other and begin somewhere. Dont think about being behind, just be you and take some steps forward.
