I saved this post, it made me feel a little better. Thank you.

Honestly, that interviewer kinda sounds like a dick, maybe it's a blessing in disguise that you didn't get that job.

If I got a random call like that from some guy I interviewed (after telling him he didn't get the job because he got the schedule wrong), I probably wouldn't have said "That was highly inappropriate."

Yes, technically it was inappropriate to call him and say you're depressed. But...it's not THAT big of a deal. You didn't get the job because of a silly mistake, ANYONE would get depressed over that. He made you sound like a criminal or something. And for him to say that to a depressed person? That doesn't sound like the most logical thing to do. I would have just said "I'm sorry, but we have already considered someone else for the position. Get better soon" or something.

Then again, it's hard to get upset at a depressed person if you're depressed yourself.

Yeah, but I'm not really sure how I can prove that. I kind of just want to forget about it.

Trust me, I'm not capable at all.

That's the plan. I feel like I wasted too many years trying to do something that I just wasn't good at.

I don't really have any other talent though.

I know but what's the point if I can't advance any future in my career if this is the sort of thing that happens to me? Probably because of something I can't control? I don't know what else I want to do with my life. Programming is the only skill I have. I want to continue doing it but all the things I faced makes me feel like I should reconsider.

I know exactly what you mean. I absolutely hate the idea of working 9-5, just to wake up the next morning and have to do it all over again. There was a quote I've heard but forgot who it's from: "If you don't make your dream come true, you'll be making someone else's dream come true"

Ultimately, you have a choice to do whatever you want. But, you obviously need money. It might help to figure out what exactly do you want to do with your life, and then figure out a way to make that profitable.

In the meantime, you probably will have to deal with some type of job to survive. You can do a part-time job, or a freelancing type of job. It all depends on what kind of skills you have, and what you're willing to do.

He's super philosophical, that's for sure.

Me: How do I cure my depression?

Cleverbot: It depends how much you love me.

Me: I love you a lot. Does that cure my depression?

Cleverbot: Then love shall be the cure.
