Crono, that’s a horrible, horrible state to be in, and in asking for advice, you’re asking completely the wrong question. For your own sanity, you need to find something you enjoy doing, not just something that can soften the pain for one more day.
Well… I think I like playing Magic, or, at least, I like winning at Magic. (When I lose a lot, I have a tendency to take it pretty hard.) For some reason, video games start to become a lot less appealing when I don’t have some homework to put off. But, yeah, to paraphrase something I once heard about drug addiction, I don’t play video games to games to feel good, I play them in order to feel normal.
Maybe a standard day job isn’t right for you, but you need to look for something more ambitious than living with your parents, even if you enjoy the amenities.
Let me put it this way:
If I won a huge lottery jackpot tomorrow and could easily afford to maintain my current lifestyle with no effort, independent of my parents’ financial support, I still probably wouldn’t move out, because I like living with my parents. What bothers me is that I’m dependent on them for financial support, so whenever they ask me to do something, there’s always an undercurrent of “if you make us angry enough, you’ll be out on the streets.” (It still beats working, though.)
There’s only one thing that I want that I can’t get by living at home, and that’s a cat. It might be a bit silly, but I feel as though if I had a cat, I wouldn’t have to be lonely or sad any more.
