if you give up, you will pretty much be stuck in that situation that you laid out and that is [i]not okay.[/i]
It is better to struggle to find a job and have a chance of success then to just give up and have no chance. Even if the job may suck at first, most first jobs are terrible at first anyway. If you work hard, it can get better for you.
Don't give up, okay? I don't want to see anyone here give up and accept something like that.

I want any job. I will shovel shit. I sound like a broken record but I've tried over 20 places, nearing 30...
Not to mention all the times I've called back to see if they got my application only to be told "yes we did but we aren't hiring at the moment."

I lost my job last year and haven't found one yet, although admittedly I haven't really looked these past few months.
The job market is fucking tough, life in general is. It won't come to you if you just give up though! I genuinely believe in that if you keep at it, you will find something. There's that tattoo parlor right? You still have something. And even if that goes wrong, the world isn't idle. New things will come up, and deciding to give up and not even keep an eye out for those is just a flat out bad idea.
Things are tough, but that's just how it is. It won't change, and giving up because of it will not solve anything.
That's the thing, [B]I understand first jobs are shit.[/B] I am PRAYING for ANY job. I've been turned down, most places haven't even called to shedule an interview, and the one place I did the manager called my face dirty, said that if I can't understand him then I'm not meant for the job, I was turned down. And I STILL said "Thank you for your time, sir."
I've never worked before (I mean I have for a day but I can't say that to employers). I had a job as a pharmasist for[B] A DAY. AND IT WOULD HAVE WORKED![/B] [I]RIGHT NOW I WOULD HAVE A CAR![/I] But my grandfather kicked me out because he thought I was "hacking his internet" by resetting the router. Got screamed at. Had to leave my job.
And the boss didn't pay me for working that day because my asshole grandfather called my boss and told her "SHE CANT WORK FOR U SHE QUITS!" before I could call and ask if I could use her as a reference. I didn't quit, my grandfather kicked me out and I no longer could get to the job...
My life is beyond my control at this point and I've tried to take control and [I]I just can't. [/I] It's like I'm not allowed.
surviving and facing your problems gives its own satisfaction, despite it being the harder path. Giving up is simple, like the feather on the breeze, which eventually amounts to nothing despite the almost irresistable temptations on offer.

I'm very sorry that has happened to you, it sounds terrible. The important thing is that while life may be out of your control right now, it will only get further away from you if you stop trying to gain control.
I understand that you are tired of job searching right now, perhaps there are some other things you could do for money. I've looked at your Deviantart and I think you're a rather good artist and I actually really like your artstyle. It will not make anywhere near as much money as an actual job but some income on the side won't hurt, and it's productive too. You should consider opening up commissions and working more on your art in your spare time and maybe it'll even help you relax.
I'm sorry if I'm not helping much, but I really do want to see you beat this.
[I]But what's the point of doing things the hard way when I have been my whole life and not gotten any progress?? Why waste time?? There isn't any satisfaction with working hard because it's not going to give me anything.[/I]
Have you ever seen a meme so mean it makes you want to scream?
like esk0 said, you could make a living off of art if you had to, even if it comes to having to draw pieces for furries, money's still money, and who knows, if that takes off it could mean the end of your problems.

[b]Because the easy way right now does not seem to be a thing for you. Working hard has not given you anything [i]yet,[/i] but it very well [i]could!![/i] Doing nothing will not earn you anything. Please understand this![/b]
But the thing is I think I can gain control once I'm AWAY from this shithole town
Like esk0 and I have said before, you should do commissions it may not be a lot of money but its money you can save and use.
[QUOTE=IJNOMED;49521645]I'm wasting my youth. I'm not like the rest of you guys and I am not satisfied with laying in bed all day playing video games[/QUOTE]
I don't know what the fuck gave you the idea that is all I do, I think it may be because I'm in a poor mood but this rubs me the wrong way.
After I got out of highschool in my single parent family, I worked myself to exhaustion in a minimum wage job so I could afford to go to college, I didn't have the money for shit so I walked two miles there and back in this fucking neighborhood, regardless of the weather, and when I enrolled in college I didn't know shit so you better believe I woke up at 4:00 AM every morning and spent all day every day studying. Now I'm on the dean's list and am an honors student, I don't give a flying fuck about anything anymore but people saying shit like that always gets me angry.
Maybe it's just one of those days.
ANYWAY TRYING TO SEE THE GOOD SIDE I hope you find a job soon and all that. I wish you all the best of luck in your situation.
[QUOTE=IJNOMED;49521731]But the thing is I think I can gain control once I'm AWAY from this shithole town[/QUOTE]
then do something about going in that direction! set yourself a concrete goal and stop at nothing until you reach it. Like we said, trying and trying again's better than not trying at all. Even if you feel you can't go on right now, spot yourself some time to wind down a little somehow and then go back with renewed confidence.
[QUOTE=IJNOMED;49521731]But the thing is I think I can gain control once I'm AWAY from this shithole town[/QUOTE]
Save up money, like I suggested do art commissions or anything else you can think of to get money. Save up a good chunk of money and leave, and work your damned hardest to try to secure a job.
I don't believe this is the best option, but sometimes the best option isn't always available. The point is that there are tons of options that are far better than giving up, and you should pursue them first.

Even though my life is better now I have less mentally than I ever had. I was almost fucking shot the other day but I don't really even think about it. I've seen so much shit it's so hard to stay positive. Everything is so empty to me now. I don't know if I'll ever be the way I was. Deep down I don't think I will.

holy shitballs man, that sounds as hard a life like my grandparents led just to give their kids a good education and life standard. Kudos.
Here I am in 10 degree weather with flipflops while its snowing outside
What a life
Pay special attention to what Linkuya said, see the good side.
The bad has a far stronger weight then the good and can skew your perspective heavily. Remember that you could always be in a worse situation and that things can always get better.
