Am I a loser if I don't have a job right now?

Question

Definition of a human isn’t working.

Definition of life isn’t work.

You’re a human and you’re here living and enjoying in the moment. You’ll either find a cause to support receiving wages for that, OR you’ll find you can receive wages for you just enjoying yourself with the talents you have within and may choose to develop.
OR

you’ll become a workaholic at something and anything that pays money or great money so you can do more I guess?

Is anyone a loser for not working or a failure if they mess up at times?

NO

We’re human. We mess up because we’re imperfect and learn by trial and some error. We keep living striving and loving life.

Id say really try to get some type of income if you’re missing out on daily needs like food or such but that’s about it.

Be with those around you and embrace the world around you : ) a little change 💰 doesn’t hurt either.

Best to you sis! I have great faith in you. ✌️😊🫂

Not necessarily. I was unemployed for a few months after college and didn't start actively searching for a job until June. I briefly started looking in May and applied for a few jobs but didn't start actively applying until June. Now I'm about to start my full time job on Tuesday. I'm surprised I found something so soon. I wanted to take a break after graduating from college but knew I eventually had to start job searching and I'm glad I just got an offer. You can take breaks but make sure you're putting some effort into job searching. It can take a while to find a job. Some people take longer than others depending on a variety of factors.

It depends why you don’t have a job. If you didn’t do something heinous that resulted in being fired and if you’re not lazy, then no, it does not make you a loser. A lot of places claim to be desperate for workers but won’t give anyone who doesn’t perfectly match the detailed and overly specific “requirements” a chance. Also, companies lay people off at the drop of a hat. I got laid off multiple times during the last decade after getting excellent performance ratings my whole career. One time it was so executives could meet an overhead reduction threshold and lock into a higher annual bonus. If you’ve been unemployed for over six months, you don’t count as unemployed as far as the USG goes, so their unemployment numbers are way lower than reality. So, it probably isn’t because you are a loser. It’s probably because we have corrupt, incompetent elites. Clear them all out!

No you're not a loser you might be taking a little vacation you might be taking advantage of somebody or you might be manipulating somebody to have this free. Maybe you're finding yourself but here's the thing no matter what the end outcome is it's your choice because you get to choose who you want to be by the things that you say and do who do you want to be what do you want in life go get it or sit at your choice

Nah better to be honest with yourself.

I'm taking a break from my unpaid work to invest in my hobbies, gain new knowledge and do some soul searching.

I want to solidify my personality. I took my past 2 months for granted by rushing and trying to fit with stereotypes of society and I was suddenly shoved into UNPAID work as soon as I graduated.

A guy wasted my time too for 1.5 months.

So I'll cut off mindless scrolling, useless interactions and will spend more alone time.

That is only up to you to decide, I would never judge you or anyone else for that but with unemployment as low as it is, you should be able to find a job easy enough. Not the right job, take any job and keep looking for better one in the meantime.

If you can't find a job right now, you'll never find one when unemployment goes up.

No, Covid has really turned the country upside down and Biden had turned it inside out. Lots of people are unemployed and lots of people have been unemployed so long that their benefits have run out and they are no longer counted. I was out of work for two years and just found a good job a month ago.
