I've been looking for a full or part time job for four years. I'm tired of everyone telling me "You can't give up!" and suggesting places to apply for work. I know their trying to help and I don't want to seem rude, but I need them to stop because all their "assistance" does is remind me that I STILL haven't found a job despite the fact that I have a college degree (journalism) and a steady work history prior to four years ago.

I feel like a loser who's completely useless. I feel like a waste of space. I feel stupid. I feel like I don't know anything about how to live life in a way that will actually bring about success or happiness.

Is anyone else in my boat?
