hm.. i know this attitude of not giving a fuck about anything/ anyone.. result of facing too many problems in our wonderful world which is flooding with irritations.
You are 26 years old.. and made alot of mistakes in your life. But you finally seem to realize your mistakes and thats the first step. My older brother is about 40 years old he doesnt have a job, but a kid, whose mother doesnt want to live any longer with him. He was on university and had a really really good job but... he just didnt want to work. Still he blames my dad for everything.. ofc everything that went wrong in his life was his fault but he doesnt realize.

You are living in the country of endless possibilities, in the country of life, liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. With 26 years you are defenitly Not old.. If you are willed to change something in your life you can easily find a job, gain weight, find a girlfriend and show your family that you love them. But keep in mind.. you was making the wrong decisions for more than a decade. It will take time to completly change your mindset. Approach your goals step by step. Good Luck.

It seems a bit unlikely you'd manage to get a university degree with the language skills you display here... but whatever.

You're 26 years old, you have a degree, you're healthy and based on your story, you haven't even made any big mistakes so far. What's stopping you from starting life?

You did all this shit and came out the other end with a degree. You've realized what a fucktard you've been (no offense.) and now you're all upset about it, ok sure.

But with a degree @ 26 you're in a great position to do something about your life and start being successful. If you feel like you've screwed opportunities / your family / people in the past, now is the time to start making up for that.

If you honestly have a degree, you aren't anywhere close to a screw up, you could have done better, like most people, but you didnt fail.

Trust me, psychology isn't a useless major.
It's a damn useful major that is applicable for many jobs out there, all you need is to figure a way to link it to the position you are applying.
I got an economics major and it's an even broader subject

I agree with everyone here. It's good you've finally realized how much time you've wasted (better late than never), and don't think that the rest of your life is futile. Show how sorry you really are by compensating for the time you've wasted. Delete the games you're addicted to, find a job or internship, and bring your family some honor Go do something with your life! Best of luck!

Post like this make me glad my parents never bought ne anything beyond basic pocket money. Making kid work since 13 doing random shit to buy cool things turns out to have secretly instilled a sense of responsibility.

You still have a degree though, which probably won't land you megadollars overnight (neither does being a doctor either) but should help make you more employable. If you cant make something work then thats in you. Good luck, but you dont really have my sympathy.

It totally can, but you actually need a ton more education and a much better degree(s)... of course, not everyone only cares about making megadollars

Its a bit unfair of your family to leave everything behind and just go to america with the plan that 12 year old you will just have to earn 100K a year in 10 years.

I am nature.
I am one with nature.
I bend to the wind,
the branches dance and sing;
I sing like a bird,
open to the hole world to be heard;
I bathe in the sun,
since the first day the world begun;
My hearth glows with fire,
like the inner core of the world,
to the stars i am faithfull,
like an ant to the world.

hate to break it to you, but with a psych degree, you either become a social worker, or you go back to school if you wanna do any of the cool stuff you can do in psychology. i mean maybe youll luckj out somewhere but that's usually how it goes

I can certainly relate to this feeling of having wasted some precious time of your life. I feel like I did the same for some time. But what I have come to realise "on the other side" is this:
1. Regret is stupid - and I'm not stupid (at least I do not want to be).
2. I would not be the same person without this chapter in my life. For better or for worse does not matter. I am who I am.

We are all products of our past, but do not let that past determine your entire future.

Or, instead of this virulent self loathing, you could apply for a real job while pursuing an MA, PhD so you can be a practicing Psychologist, and change around all the stuff you've said.

people have it far worse than you, many many people have it far worse and you're complaining likes its the end of your life when you're 26 young and strong

wake up man, fucking wake up! Board the train of happiness or the one of fear, its your choice and your choice alone!
