I don't want to listen to other things necessarily. It is a bit more serious than "not get attention". For some background, I was left home alone since an early age all day until evening with not much guidance. I was left to play on my own. I just did what I thought was ok. I did spend too much time online, too. And I did not go out because nobody was home and I was scared. Now nobody calls to ask if I have a job or anything, what I am doing..
I am sure some kind of help exists for me. Because being in bed all the time is not good for you and I can't live like this. I can't be so insignificant and invisible. I need care and activities. Surely someone provides this.
Most single adults don't get a phone call from people asking if they got a job or what you are doing. It could lonely if you live alone but most people won't care if you have a job or not, even if it's a family. That's just reality. There are ton of people who do not have family at all. Like zero family. They still need to work and pay bills. Or apply for disability

Activities are important but it's not a priority for adults. There is help out there. You have to seek it though
