    If your 24 surely it's time to start thinking for your self to some degree. Do your parents not help you with finding a job

    yes i know that but at least the other people applying for the job would have a partner, a car, popular with their family and have not got the slightest form of autism that the bloody government thinks i am actually ok.

    I need to look good, feel good and be happy thats all i want in life

    How do you know the other applicants would have a partner, a car, popular with family. Yes they might have all that but you dont know.

    I am thinking about my self, why do you think i actually want to turn my life around, and no i wouldn't even think about asking my mum and my stepfather into helping me find a job, my stepsister did not need help, my stepbrother doesn't need help and i don't need help from them either

    Yes and i said sorry for saying that. Im not lying, the only reason why i can't get a job is because the people that i apply for won't actually give me a chance

    I'm an employer, when I take someone on, besides whatever qualifications and/or experience I need, I also want someone of a pleasant disposition that will fit in with everyone else and not be miserable. As an additional, if anyone even has the hint of 'you're lucky to have me' attitude, they'd not get through a full interview. Even if you were the most brilliant heart surgeon, it would be a terrible attitude.

    All we have to go on is how you come across on here, but if you are like this in real life, you need to look at yourself.


    Ultimately you are where you are now because of decisions you made a year, two years ago; where you are in a years time, will be down to what decisions you take now.

    Stop blaming everyone else, you a tent the employee catch of the century,just get on with being better than you are and this time next year you will have travelled a huge distance Personally.

    2. never had a gf before-negative
    3. cant drive-negative
    4. cant cook-negative
    5. dont go to uni-negative

    2. Many people don't have gf/bf until they're older than 24. Stop focusing on what your stepbrother and stepsister are doing.

    3. I know several people who didn't learn to drive until they were in their 30s/40s.

    4. Not difficult to follow a few simple recipes. Be patient you may fail the first time, but don't give up.

    5. Do you know that most people in the UK didn't go to uni. I didn't go and in my job was at a higher grade than 4 people who had been to uni.

    Well the way your acting surely help from them would be beneficial. Asking for help isn't a weakness. Just because your siblings didn't ask for help doesn't mean you shouldn't.

    Thinking for your self different to thinking about yourself. Thinking for yourselves is making your own dewcions on what to do not asking people what to do each day
