I don't think you need therapy. It does suck to be alone and poor and talking about that I don't think changes things. Though I think you could work on your patience.

How then do you suggest that I work on my social and emotional issues? I have no family to speak of and little if any friends outside of this site. I am alone navigating the world's scary waters. This is the first time that I've ever been out by myself with next to no external support from other people and the first time I've ever taken in this amount of responsibility on my own.
I've been looking into a couple of courses to build my charisma and social skills but I don't see how that's going to be enough on it's own when I am still insecure around other people and envious towards those who have things that I want. Unless I live life like a sociopath and just lie and manipulate people with my charisma when I build it or do what I was talking about in this thread and make a lot of money via questionable means and use money and power to shield my fragile ego, I don't see how I can build myself up to be emotionally healthy around other people on my own.
I don't know how to do all of this on my own. I can't be expected to with all that I've been through.
