You are not a failure, and its silly to say that about yourself. Life for jobs at the moment sucks for a lot of people I am sure. Just keep thinking forward and you will eventually get there.

Saying you're a failure is just over-reaction. I feel you on the unemployment, as I've been unemployed since '09... it's just a difficult time. Especially when every app sent in gets turned down because A, B, X, Y, or Z reasons.

Chin up and do what you can to survive, you'll get through it. We all will.

Have you looked into volunteering somewhere? It'll help fill your day with something productive which will make you instantly feel better about yourself, plus it always looks nice on a resume. :3

Thats enough of that Silver, you know damn well that you ARE NTO A FAILURE!!!!! Noone ever said life was going to be full of opportunities as well as people lineing up to give you a job and I understand the situation your in. BUT just remember bubba your not a failure because I know you well enough to know that your not a quiter and that you always come up with a solution from the trip to the racetrack mechanics to working at a local shop. Stay strong bro and in time another opportunity will present itself and when it comes you take it. As for your friend I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Dont give up bro and stay strong
