When I was a teenager, I became debilitated by illness. Because I missed so much school, I was basically isolated and alone. I had high aspirations and was always towards a professional career. Although my grades and test scores were very good, college was a nightmare because my high school situation left me totally unprepared socially and academically. Although, I became able to function to a certain degree, I have chronic medical issues that place limitations on what I can do.
I'm unmarried, and probably never will be, have no friends, no relatives except my parents, and cannot find anyone on the face of the earth, who is willing to help me. I finally completed my degree, as a non-traditional student but cannot work a regular job, due to my medical issues. So, I returned to school again, to take business and entrepreneurship courses because it seemed that my only hope of having, at least, financial success, or at the very least, an income of my own, was to start my own business.
Over the past couple of years, I have spent the equivalent of a full-time job's hours, in contacting people and even after offering to pay for assistance, have been turned down because I don't have a huge Linkedin profile.
I tried going a different route but I cannot find a business partner. Without a partner, there is not way to obtain investment capital. Without that, there is no way to get a business going because without employment, a loan is impossible. There are very small loans available through a Women's group but through some technicality, I don't qualify. As a side note, I don't It's complicated but I don't qualify for any type of state assistance. I have tried Kickstarters but because I don't know anyone or have Facebook connections, I can't get any donations. It's the same situation with Kiva loans, if you're familiar with those.
I have asked and begged everyone I could think of, even strangers. My parents are elderly and sometime in the near future I will be alone, ill, with no career, no income, and no prospects of anything good ever happening. I have left out a LOT of depressing details. However, my life prior to being afflicted with this horrible ailment was less than ideal. My parents were poor and always stressed out. Since they've had a lot of expenses for me, they could never improve their financial situation. My medical problems preclude participation in most of the things that I enjoy and I cannot travel.
I posted on this forum relatively recently about having an inheritance stolen from me. That money could have helped me start my business. I have no pleasure or enjoyment in life and no prospects of anything. It is truly a hopeless situation. I don't expect anyone to help, as nobody has up to this point. I've been trying to figure out why.
Complete strangers post stories and gofundme links for people in need everyday but nobody would stop to help me if I were dying in the street. I can't find a business partner and I'm not asking for any money. I'm a HUGE failure and disappointment in every possible aspect of life.
