Struggling to function in society

Hi,

I’m 26 and never had a job before. I went to uni, couldn’t find work so got a masters, the pandemic hit and couldn’t find work. I’ve done all the necessary extra schooling to get work but no one wanted someone without experience. I don’t know if it’s because I looked for work at the wrong time or chose schooling over work in high school but I don’t know why. It’s not like I’m doing nothing either. I’m working on being a writer, it’s what I’ve done since I was fifteen. My problem is family, they think the writing isn’t worth doing because I’m not getting money. The comments just keep bringing me down and it’s been eating at me since 2019. I just want to find a way to focus on my goals without feeling so rundown whenever there comments hit me.
