I cant be objectively wrong in my subjective opinion. I could also do without the unnecessary personal attacks.

I liked the scene in the blueray 2.1 extended version where the scene continued:

>Witch King: no man can kill me
Eowyn: I am no man
*Eowyn stabs the Witch King*
Witch King: Ackshually, the word "man" signifies a person in this case, not gender.
*Witch King kills Eowyn*

You are objectively wrong.

It felt perfectly IN place, (witch king says "no man can kill me") it was satisfying AF especially in the extended version, it was a clever payoff for both characters, and not a single person in the theaters laughed at that part. Sure, there were some smiles but it was because that scene showcases a strong female win in the most SATISFYING way possible.

And it wasn't her line that made her able to kill the witch king... If you believe that, then you are both objectively wrong AND an idiot.

Not allowing your unemployed thirty year old who refuses to keep a job live in your house and eat your food while he plays video games 8+ hours a day is NOT "hating your kids".

For fuck's sake man, no.

The worst thing OP's parents can be blamed for is allowing him to live in thier home doing nothing since he was a teenager. It's unacceptable and allowing it isn't love- ITS ENABLING.

My mum did the same shit for my brother until he was 49.... When he dropped dead from untreated high blood pressure because even though she held his hands, paid all his bills and wiped his ass on a daily basis- she couldn't actually "take care of him" because he was a god damn adult who needed to get his shit together.... And now he's dead.

Yeah, my husband still lived with his folks at 28 when we got together- because between his 70k a year career, and his hobbies doing tech for local theatres- he was almost never home and it didn't seem smart to waste his money on an apartment. But he also helped his parents pay the bills from age 18- he wasn't living there rent-free doing jack shit. And he is unbelievably skilled - he's not only a freaking programmer, an electrical engineer, and is extremely talented in all trades - he could easily be an electrician, a mechanic - so yeah, living at home didn't make him a loser.... But re-read OP's post.

Are you really trying to say that this guy doesn't have MAJOR unaddressed issues?

Maybe focus on new experiences you could have. A new hobby, travelling, learning something, or introduce a friend to one of your hobbies and enjoy through their achievement. Or choose things to do at random with the roll of the dice or something. But I'm kinda in the same place myself. Let yourself be and just enjoy what you have.

Have you ever looked into getting therapy? And treatment for ADHD / depression - it certainly sounds like you have all the classic telltale signs as well as serious executive dysfunction.

And I can tell you- your parents DID fail you....

By allowing you to move back in.

If my child thinks I will EVER allow him to live in my house, playing video games for 8+ hours a day while he can't maintain a job.... Holy shit.

I can't believe that they allowed you to move back in, didn't ask you to contribute you the household bills, and have done absolutely nothing after you've done absolutely nothing consistent to better yourself or your situation in all that time.

My man- ADHD is hard. Adulting is hard. But you've literally admitted that you've wasted almost all of your 31 years - and it hasn't occurred to you that you DEEPLY need medical care to get to the route of your serious mental health issues ...

Please. Get up tomorrow and start making phone calls. GET TREATMENT.

You are never going to get better or have any kind of life worth living if you don't.

My brother died last year at 49 from untreated high blood pressure and he literally lived your exact life that whole time. You don't want to end up like he did.

I’m younger than OP so I don’t know what you’re referring to. No one said you can’t be succesfull while living with your parents. I had to when I became ill. OP specifically asked in his title how to fix your life while unemployed and living with family? After reading the title this was my initial anwser and after reading the post it stayed the same. There is no reason why OP can’t get a job and move out of his parents house. Is it going to be a great career where he feels super valued with grand pay where he can afford himself a beautifull home, no probably not. OP needs to wake up and realise this is a reality for most people and he isn’t special. He got handed pretty good cards in life to make it, but he didn’t, that’s ok, shit happens. But he is still young and he can still do well for himself if he puts his mind and energy to it. But he’s gotta do it himself. I’m not going to feel sorry for him, as I know many people who didn’t get the same opportunities and still made the best of it, as well as people still working jobs while being physically ill, including myself. My family doesn’t hate me and OP’s family clearly doesn’t either so I don’t know what that comment is about.

Depends what people.

Your boss, your wife, your parents, your family? It does matter what they think.

You shouldn't bow to their every whim, or let their opinions decide what you'll do every time, but pissing off those people or losing their respect will definitely have an impact on your life.

And winning their respect and admiration will definitely have a positive impact on your self esteem, family life and possibly finances, all of which correlate with good mental health.
