I shall try again here and see how you guys like this:

Although I would rather be working, since getting laid off 2 winters ago I have been living with my parents, and to justify my existence they have been forcing me to go to university and attend lectures.

While I am not entirely set against academia and do spend most of my time reading, programming, and engaging in online discussions-- I consider these lectures to not be worth my time. I learn nothing from them and they disrupt my sleep as all of them occur early in the morning (early being very liberally applied here, as I usually don't wake up until around 11:00 to 1:30). Still I am forced to attend them all so that my parents feel like my scholarship and their money is being wasted less so, whilst in reality is only reinforcing a state of misery and non-learning in me.

The economy is terrible and finding a new job so far has been a futile effort, much to my despair. I have not even so much as spoken an attractive white woman within a year and have never been hugged, kissed, or otherwise engaged in any form of intimacy however basic. The way things are going for me now I feel like my life is being wasted away and I am digging myself into a deeper & deeper hole here, whatever potential I have to produce something of value for society being suppressed.

I would rather not attend university at all, at least not for now, until I have learned everything I can on my own. University appears to be a scam and a massive waste of money; when I can't get it to work for me why continue to feed the system? I don't know I shall justify to my parents dropping out when I don't even have a job.

This leaves me bitter, lonely, and upset... so I ask of you /prog/, how should I turn my life around?
