Hi all,

What happens to people who seemingly can't do anything right? I was terminated from yet another job (4th time) for the same reason. Gross incompetence. I have ADD and I oftentimes struggle to learn certain tasks as I just simply need more time but employers don't have that level of patience. Meds haven't worked and I don't believe in therapy. Accommodations is a paradox because businesses still need productivity and if you can't deliver then why bother employing such a person?

I've looked into launching a business. Went a little better, but I still haven't launched and things aren't going great as product development has been plagued with mishaps and design flaws not including future marketing and prelaunch. I've poured my life savings into this venture and hired two people. I have no idea how this will end but i'm losing optimism. I've been at this since 2017 and have very little support. Most often people just ridicule me especially here on Reddit and other forums. I love entrepreneurism and always wanted to start a business, create something that people will like. I have plenty of ideas that I know could help a lot of people and I like being in control. I'm deeply envious of successful business owners especially those who had similar ideas as me and managed to make them work. That crushes my soul.

My parents are growing weary of me still living at home and want me out when I turn 30 (I'm 28). I don't have a degree (not that it matters with ADD) and I can't keep a job unless its something so simple a monkey could do it which means i'll never make enough to leave home. I have experience, but that means lots of entry level/associate positions and little progression. I oftentimes have multiple W-2s come tax season. It's also hard just to find a decent job to begin with. I've done a lot of volunteer work and internships for companies but no one ever wants to pay me for my work or bring me on full-time. Just dumped when I'm no longer needed.

I have no idea how to move forward or how to support myself when the time comes. I just want to be successful and happy. To be good at something and thrive. Right now, i'm staring at eventual homelessness.

Thanks for listening :)
