I noticed that you work at McDonald's (at least that's what your screen name says). You need to start looking for a better paying job; because you won't get out on your own working at McDonald's and being single.
I am not knocking McDonald's; I worked at Blockbuster for a while but I was married so we had two incomes; not just mine. Since then I have found a better job.
It looks like you have spelling issues. Those are very hard to relearn or "fix" at age 27. You need a job that will pay well but not require conventions of spelling. Have you thought about being a driver for a company? Like a truck driver? They can make good money. You have to get your CDL (commercial driver's license) but it isn't that big of a deal. Maybe you could work for Fed Ex or UPS doing their long hauls.
Another thing you could do; start your own business. Mow lawns or something. Think of a service that people in your area might need. We live in a big city and a friend of ours started a pool cleaning service and now he has slowly grown his business to where he has employees working under him and he only works when he wants to.
Point is; you can do it! You don't have to work at McDonalds. They exploit their employees by paying so low and making you work so hard. Even managers salaries are bad there. Start looking around and exploring other possibilities.
Good luck!

Try to study whenever you are not working until you are comfortable with going to college. Working at McDonalds is OK but you may need something more to work towards. Do the best job you can at whatever you do. You need to help someone instead of being self focused. Your parents are giving you an opportunity to save money and live on your own. It is time you flew out of the nest so that you can be your own person instead of your parents needing you to be dependent on them. Don't be afraid. Go out in the world and make your mark.

Please don't give up trying to make your life better. I know it's not easy living with your parents being the age you are, but you really need to sit down and calculate if you are able to afford living on your own. If I had the opportunity I would move back home with my parents. I would save sooooo much money and living alone gets well loney. Anyhow think about the pros and cons and if you are able to do it go for it. Just keep your options open, you may have to move back in with your parents sometime in the future. God Bless

The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to make sure you would be able to make it financially. Make a list of EVERYTHING you KNOW is going to cost you money for a month. List everything from your rent, heat, elect., phone if you want one, food & all the little extras we don't even think of, because they're always there so to speak. Allow a little extra just to make sure you haven't forgotten anything. Then see IF you actually can live completely on your own. Don't forget the costs of a car if you have one. Make sure you have a steady/solid income, one you KNOW for sure is not going to be here today gone tomorrow. For heavens sake, don't even think, let alone say, "you don't know if you want to live". There are so many people who love you regardless of how you feel about yourself. Don't even think of taking yourself out of their lives! You ARE important to others regardless if you think so or not. So PLEASE forget that one! I see you've got SSI, is there maybe just something you could do to suppliment your income to bring you a little more money? Don't forget too, by living w/your parents, you're doing things around home that actually are helping them out too. So don't think you're just there doing nothing. There no doubt are many things you do that you don't even realize that they count on you to do. So actually, you ARE helping them out too. Lots of times it's no great thing to live alone anyway. We all need someone, we all need others in our lives too. So if your parents are fine w/you living w/them, I honestly wouldn't worry about it that much. You have a purpose, you just don't realize how important you are to others! Think about all the things you do that actually help your parents. Write them ALL down. Then you'll actually see how important you really are living there w/them. Don't be so hard on yourself & stop feeling the way you're feeling. As long as you're loved & have someone to love back in return, you ARE important. Just think about it again & you'll see what I mean...

You have to makeup your mind that you can live on your own. If you have any hobbies that you can put your energy into it will make you feel better. Its hard at first to live alone.....put some personal touches in your place...things that make you happy....anything....like.....movie posters, family photos in a collage......display whatever you collect.....toys, trains, memorabilia. anything that can make your new home comfortable and a pleasant place to live.. Invite your parents over for dinner...or friends...Once you get used to it you will be very happy having your own home.

It is important for you to enjoy what you have and be thankful for it. I know it is hard for you to live on your own. But you can be thankful that you have people to help you.
If you remember to feel thankful, you will be happier.
If you remember to thank the people who help you, you will make them happier.

you need to work on your spelling first of all
and do the things you like
you seem like someone who is empty inside and need to find why...look within yourself and you will find the answers
