I live in a complete isolation with no human interactions at all. I have retreated from all interactions in life because of my low-self esteem and disappointment in life. I cannot do anything to change my reality because my negative talking takes over my occasional motivation to do something. I am thinking maybe a new job can change my reality, but again employers don't consider my resume, and I have applied for hundreds of jobs.
Things become worse with time, and I don't see a light at the end of tunnel. I haven't gone out of my apartment since last Thursday when I went to buy some groceries. This is my life now. It's painful and meaningless.

My apologies and I am truly sorry to hear about your struggles with relationships, self-esteem and unemployment. When I first read your post, I assumed financially capability and a sort of retreat from the world for a while. That, to me, would be bliss. A chance to catch up on books I want to read, reflect on philosophy and past relationships (a few I should have rejected, and others worth remembering), learn a new cooking technique (a bigger, better, badder grilled cheese sandwich with fried tomatoes and gourmet olives) and maybe start up a new craft, hobby or tech work. Self talk is one of the most powerful influences in our lives. Improving your self talk is a great way to begin a journey of self-awareness and progression to add meaning to your life
