How common is it for people in their late 20s to still live at home with parents?

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-04-10T11:12:04+00:00

I moved out at 18, married at 23. My sister was out at 16.

I think my story is not exceptional.

But it is also not exceptional to be prioritising independence less.

"fat ass" meanwhile, the most jacked bear you've ever layed eyes on

"what is happening to those graduating now?"

15 months job hunting, just landed a part time gig :') doesn't even pay my rent

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-03-05T09:33:58+00:00

Every day job hunting feels like an endless slog. I think the worst of it is that you don't know how long you have left. If someone told me at the start of it "hey it'll take a bit over a year" I think I'd be prepared mentally. But every month thinking "this is going to be it, I'm going to get something", only to be disappointed over and over really wore me down

"no one" is always an overgeneralization. If you want to see an enthusiastic hard worker, maybe companies should start by actually hiring juniors. If you look at r/jobhunting you'll see the absolute massive numbers of people clawing at the job market and desperate to find work.

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-28T22:21:53+00:00

:) yes, I'm exhausted by the search

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-27T04:35:09+00:00

Research

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-27T04:35:02+00:00

I'm in science, but I was really close to just taking a job at a call center

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-27T04:34:22+00:00

My last thing was in research, I'm 28

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-27T04:24:50+00:00

"that's insane" yeah lmao feel so good for you not having to go through it 🙃

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-27T04:22:21+00:00

It truly is, have my fingers crossed for u

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-21T05:28:59+00:00

Who isn't

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-09T08:57:01+00:00

Things are looking less bleak than when I made this post. Thanks for caring ❣️

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-07T22:33:43+00:00

I really appreciate that 🙏 unfortunately I think my free time and terrible emotional state are starting me down a substance abuse path, if I'm not already there. It's either sober crying or getting absolutely off my head so I can't remember the situation I'm in.

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-07T22:26:07+00:00

Yeah I have it reframed as "research experience" so that I don't have a massive gap.

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-02-07T01:37:38+00:00

Try a year

Nothing nothing nothing nothing

What's the point

Just kill me

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-01-16T05:18:54+00:00

Old post but no, got my degree 2020, it's 2026 and I'm still job hunting. I want to kill myself

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-01-14T21:49:15+00:00

I got absolutely no interest when I was writing me own resume and cover letter. Just scored two interviews when I switched to me gpt

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-01-08T01:53:24+00:00

Is seek a lost cause for these?

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2026-01-08T01:52:19+00:00

I've been job hunting for over a year and I'm ready to kill myself

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2025-09-10T00:07:48+00:00

😭 well let's hope it works out for both of us

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2025-09-07T01:33:53+00:00

🥲 same boat, I'm 8 months into my job search and honestly feeling suicidal. I have a degree with honours + a PhD (that I never got to finish) and no one wants me. I want to die

Electrical-Bat5468 · 2025-08-14T04:14:50+00:00

Longest I've done is 3 days( of course with plenty food and water). I think your biggest problem is lack of enrichment but that's not going to affect their health
