How to get a job?
This is quite embarassing to admit, but im soon to be 23 and ive never had a job. Parents didnt pressure me while I was at school, during my gap year i practically stayed on the couch and now, my third year in university and nothing. Im generally a very introverted person so I was always too scared to apply in case I mess up in the future, and im not outgoing to actually think of anyjob myselfs like little businesses. But now, when I am ready to work, and Would honestly enjoy it, anything that would make me money, even a boring and dull 9-5. I want a job so I can feel secure and know what i will be doing the next day. But now as a 23 yeard old its just embarassing, how do I apply with and Empty CV, and I do not know people or connections who would help me get one. On top of all of this, I have very emotionally unavailable parents who only know how to lash out, if I ever come to them with my probelsm they just blame me for it. (Theyre not wrong, I should have forced myself to change my lazy lifestyle but I cant turn back time and genuinely dont know what to do). I regsitered on this website 30 minutes ago and have already said more about my life and my true feelings and mental health than to anyone in my life

Alot of people do what you do..
Your being honest and admitting you have an issue..
Anybody that read your post is proud of you!
Keep going! You'll get to where you need to with time and experience. 🌟
Does your University have a career centre? Some have a place where they could help find jobs, help with preparing a resume. Are you thinking of finding a job with your degree of interest, or right now, anything will do for you? Some jobs are entry-level, so, people with no experience. You'll have to search through job sites for those type of work.

Whenever people decide to do something, they have not done before they make lots of excuses or worry about the worst outcome. understandable. Like anything we do not know until we try plenty of entry level jobs and you would be surprised how many basic people skills are useable in almost any job.
apply hopefully interview and learn each step and the fear disappears. No one cares about how old you are when you apply only you are keeping score.
I'm as well going through what you're going through. Reading this i thought you just time traveled opened my mind and typed on my behalf.
Honestly this world is scary if you don't do something about it as soon as possible. Some universities nowadays are just batch processing certificate, diploma and degree holders with no job opportunities.
But im more afraid of what I'd become because I can't let my family down.
