Have you ever felt shame associated with how useless your existence is?

Can't imagine how your parents must feel thinking that they somehow screwed you up and silently suffering with your incompetence. Unless you're somehow incapable of contributing, how pathetic.

i guarantee 100% you can find a job. May not be the job you want, but the fact that you're saying you cant get ANY job is ridiculous

Start min wage or for free if you have to

Edit : See you have 2 degrees so you’re not a loser, just gotta keep trying to look for work. My question is kinda void now.
£200 is too much to give for 3 days a week of work, save your money fam srs, put your money towards a goal or something that will further you in life.

Sorta don't agree with parents that charge their children rent, they should just help out a little where they can (e.g pay for shopping, pay for gas/fuel)

Why always about money? Why not love and emotions amongst the family?

My parents pushed me extremely hard to find a job. They gave me a very hard time for a few months. But now they dont care anymore.

Everything is a waste anyways.

i'm sure you're breaking everyone's heart in your family for being worthless and lazy.

seriously, here's some advice. i have no education, not even grade 10 math. but i started as a labourer at this manufacturing company for $18 when i was 20y/o. after 3 months they trained me in sheet metal, welding, insulation, carpentry. and i was up to $23/hr after 4 months or so. i hated everyday of it, i hated the company most of all, but it's something to do while looking for something better. learn some real world skills and get some experience on your resume. i learned 3 trades starting as an entry-level labourer with no experience.

after that i did a year in a warehouse and i became a team leader/supervisor, only 23 years old, i was already in management. and i had no warehouse experience prior. all that trade discipline, knowledge, and experience, made me a smart and confident worker.

construction companies are always hiring unskilled labourers.
There is only one Hell: the one we live in now.
