my problem is Credits/€/$ (or lack of) and the loss of trust in humans.
currently without job and it looks grim. without money you're cut off of life.
also learned that people will exploit you if you let them.
i have no family & no friends. and hate being alone.
can't do anything about money, but being alone is better than the opposite.
no idea what to do about others, can't even help myself.
