Ive been hired at every job ive applied to

That's crazy. Straight out of high-school, I spent about six months driving around and applying to a job or 2 every day before I got a job (applying to pretty much every business in the small towns I lived near; McDonald's, Wendy's, Walmart, factories, everything). Now, I'm an unemployed software engineer, and I've probably applied to > 500 jobs, and still no luck (I think every job posting gets > 1000 applications in this job market). The vast majority of the time, I never actually get a chance to even talk to a person to impress them with my awkwardness and anxiety :)

different people live in different worlds, and are unable to understand other people aren't them.

OP is a big fish in a small pond, that has never spent any time in bigger ponds.

I understand it, I just choose to live in less populated areas. I don't believe humans should be crammed together like sardines in the millions. Sad way to live, for me.

Ah, I do feel bad for ya. Tbh you probably deserve way more pay than me. I can't do any of that stuff.

Maybe there is just too many people in the world wanting the same job. Idk how to fix it!! I'd be all for automating everything as much as possible but that just leads to us being destitute slaves with no agency even worse than now. At least right now we have a tiny bit of power with our labor, which is all we have against the ruling class
