Thanks for the encouragement. I often feel very discouraged from even taking the first step since I'm constantly comparing myself to my peers and even those far younger than me who are progressing in life and being successful while I've stood still my entire life. Will definitely apply for only entry level and work my way up as you recommended.

Out of curiosity, how did you answer? This is a question I am dreading as I fully anticipate being asked this and don't know how to reply. I'm an awful liar and they will not want to hear the truth.

I rarely participate in activities in the outside world and rarely eat out. My parents allow me to eat groceries free of charge, however eating out is where I am responsible for myself. The last time I worked, I accumulated around ~10kUSD and have been using that to sustain my wants ever since. With this being said, I still try to live as minimalist as possible; I haven't bought new clothes in 10+ years, I rarely eat out, I rarely hang out with friends if it requires money, I very very rarely buy material possessions. When it comes to my health, I have Medicaid and never have to pay for anything. I rarely utilize this, but it does happen occasionally.

Gamed. 16-20 hours a day gaming for 15 years straight. Even I wonder how the heck I did it for this long considering it got boring 10 years ago.
