Yeah, people with a reason to live tend not to understand the perspective of someone without. Can you state even a single reason I have to live? That you can tangibly demonstrate.

I dont know you or your circumstances, so thats not really a fair ask, is it?

But ultimately, potential for things to get better. Even if I assume that your assessment of your life being completely empty of any positive aspects is correct (and Im sceptical), that doesnt mean it always has to be.

I left tertiary education having studied software design. I was told in high school that IT was the future. Proceeded into unemployment with employers ignoring me due to lack of experience (which should also be illegal - it's not far removed from NIMBY). A degree is no guarantee of walking into a good job. But you're not me, so you'll probably do better.

How long ago was this? Blaming the advice you got in high school on where you are now seems incredibly bitter and not particularly useful.

For what its worth, I was told that I should join the military as it was my best chance of staying out of prison.
