Unfortunately the government reluctantly and sparingly offers social assistance mainly to stop a riots in the street from the disaffected, but mostly donât GAF.
The only hope I can give you is that you are still young and youâve got time to turn things around.

This feels uncomfortably close to a âpull yourself up by your bootstrapsâ mentality⌠đ

Certainly wasnât intended as such. You usually need help to turn things around and even more help is definitely needed if you arenât at a great starting point.

Itâs just that you keep putting it on them, as if they need to be the one to âturn things aroundâ when their rant was specifically about external systems prejudicing them. They canât âturn aroundâ AusPostâs decision to deny them the ability to redirect their mail?
Basically, they are trying to ask these systems for help, and are being denied. So why put it on their shoulders? Why not be outraged that someone is falling through the gaps, through no fault of their own?
I get that you have good intentions here, but I feel like youâre kind of missing the point in a big wayâŚ

Because at my age Iâve ran out of energy to be outraged after having to face many of the same things myself.
You donât know my life so back off and stop attacking me. Thanks.
