Oh lord, stop! I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't go OT like this, but where's your self-respect?? I've been supporting my own damn self since I finished high school. Sure, my parents have helped me out here and there, but they're at the point in their lives where the only people they should really need to indulge are themselves. Plus, making it on your own feels pretty good.

I'm in grad school right now, and it isn't something you want to do if you don't have a good reason -- hell, I thought I had a few good reasons, and I'm still relieved that it's almost over. I may go back someday for a professional degree, but there's so much more to life than academia for all but the most dedicated professors.

If you want girls to like you, you're gonna have to take care of yourself. Trust me on that one: I spent too long dating a spoiled rich boy who whined about how hard his life was, but who never did anything to improve it because he thought he was "above" the entry level jobs or whatever. Flash-forward a few years: he's unemployed and single. Probably still bitching about it, too.

I'm really sorry, but you really should go out and get a new hobby! This clearly isn't healthy for you, so why torture yourself? It seems like everyone here wants the best for you -- listen to them!
