My life basically sucks I have no job and I am in college. I live with my grandmother in her home town. There are not many jobs where I live and no decent guys either that not already taken. ~sighs~ I don't want to be around hunters, fishers, or anything think that dinner has to be shot and killed.

Your life sounds freakishly like mine. XD Twenty-six, living with grandmother, chronic single, small town. I gave up on school, though, so I have a full-time job.
I don't think it's so bad... life could be so much worse. Eventually, I would like to meet someone, I suppose. I'm not in a rush. Life is all about the journey and not the destination.
Hang in there, fellow singleton! Remember that you are not alone! heart

Yes, you are not alone and it's nothing to ashamed of.
I choose to live like this for time being.

Join the club. One of you has to be president, Flink refuses.
She lives at home with her mother and stepfather. Her ONE, count them, ONE, job didn't pay nearly enough for her to move out. Even then she'd have ended up at home anyways. She hasn't been able to find a new job since last November. Every job she's gotten an "interview" with was at LEAST an hour and a half drive away. All places she's applied to closer, an hour, have said the jobs were dropped due to cutbacks.
Three staffing agencies in the area. One had jobs from January, the other two had nothing at all. One even had its doors closed.
All of the guys in her area are either: drug addicts, complete idiots, married, or have more than ONE baby by other women whom they do not claim, or are some weird combination of the previous statements. But thankfully, she'd like to actually get her life in gear (coughjobcough) before she does anything to do with love.

Thanks but I moved to live with my grandmother before I turned 22 and she had colon cancer and had to have surgery, That is after i had lost my grandfather to leukimia, in 2005 i lost my other grandfather to a defective pace maker, then lost my grand mother (not the one i am living with.) i believe two years ago in july. Then lost my great grandmother over a year ago. So and am glad i am not the only one.

* hugs Aurora Avalon* Don't worry about I'm 22 and live with my mum and dad and part of the Single and Flipping Proud. Don’t feel worried about been single it can be as fun as you make it to be remember that.
As for the job thing have you thought about working for yourself? I’m not sure how it would work out for you over there but it might be something to think about maybe?

I'm renting a room at my parents' house in order to go back to school and learn a new skill, at the tender age of...36! Pretty epic fail, hm? whee
Seriously, you shouldn't beat yourself up if there's a means to an end. In other words, you're in school. You will eventually have the skills to take on a new career, and live where you want to live. Also, you'll have plenty of time for dating and whatnot later on down the road. Don't sell yourself short to some loser just to have someone around!

My excuse for living at home is my mental health issues. Because of that, I am considered disabled so I collect disability payments, but other than that, my life is pretty empty, even though I did manage to get an art degree. I'm trying to get my anime art going but it is hard work and I'm still trying to figure things out. But all of you who feel bad, just know it could be worse; you could have mental health problems like mine. sad

You all should come here! It's a college town so lots of places rent rooms and houses, housing is cheap so you can get a house together. Ladies, move down here, I know a ton of really great single guys, granted geek guys, but sweet sweet.
After high school I chose not to attend college, I was stuck, 25 was creeping up on me and I'd never held a taxable job. I'd met someone online and I suddenly I just up and moved to be with him. I'm now a mother and wife at 28 and so happy.
I never knew what I was meant to be growing up, school was so hard for me. This is easy for me, it's natural.
Keep your eyes and minds open and never give up. You never know what will happen.

Never feel downcast - I have felt like that too, but I generally find it does work out in the end...
I live in a tiny village and had totally resigned myself to the single life, had a below-minimum wage job... then a lovely bloke came down to the area and started working the same place as me...
Got married, both left the job and now have (resonable, but not well-paid) careers - and we live with my dad!! We have a great time living as part of a family.
It's all valid.

Flinkeh! heart
I'm not far off 40, with no job and on my own. But it's nothing to pout about.
everyone's in control of their own destiny..

Wow, I can see where you're coming from, I'm two months past 29 and my life is complete crap. sigh, Maybe there's hope for me but I can realate. I'd go on about how much I loath each day but I'll give you a positive note instead. Don't frown when you can smile, relieve yourself of anger with nobody to be even angry at because you will end up just making yourself miserable. Never focus on the bad thoughts because you will just forget the good ones after so long. I didn't think my life could suck anymore but then it did worse than ever and I realized my life is going down hill because I make it go full throttle. Tomorrow I start to improve my life, I've mooved near the city and start a job and in a few short months I'll be all back on my own living a normal daily life and hopefully meet some sweet person to fall in love all over again. Just try hard to keep your chin up becasue you don't want to go as low as I did. Anyone should keep in mind that when you are down, you don't get back up until you let yourself. Kris

It could be worse, you could be 22, and going through a nasty divorce. Looking back, I wish I'd stayed single.
