I relate and we suffer from the same condition that causes it but a lot of the troubles you have come from that rootproblem and you must find a way to deal with it a bit better so you have some breathingroom to focus on other things,some problems are there because of you and not the world around you and only when you can accept that reality you might make it easier to work on bettering yourself.

Also as i said before,try to chat and communicate in a more personal way with others just as a practice to use in real life.

It has been 10+ years since I held my only full time job that I held for 18 months. I quit a job to go on welfare and did my accounting degree, a terrible mistake. I never did any volunteer work or join any clubs when I attended college. I hated college and regretted every minute of it, a complete waste of time and the wrong field of study and I felt out of place and only attended the assessments and exams to get through my course. I skipped lectures all the time because I could just download the lecture slides and read chapters in my books instead of sitting through lectures. I made no social connections during mob time at college. I have deleted the degree off my resume because I completed it 10 years ago. I have been an unemployed graduate for 10 years now and merely exist on welfare. I just send emails for unskilled jobs online but still no jobs.

My tear jerker back in 2010. Nothing has changed I just could not get over not finding a job after completing a degree and accepted it as just bad luck.
I had no experience, no skills and a lousy degree that made me over qualified for unskilled jobs.
With no assistance I simply, I could not make it in this world.
I am weak character and can not deal with rejection and I have no plan or strategy.
Good thing I still have my mummy to help me out for now but begging on the streets and homelessness is in my future.

Use the phone and/or arrange a meeting or let someone else make the call for you and its needs to be clear that they can utilize you inside the company so give them a reason to let them think so.

If you can not face those people without acting socially akward then it is best to let them know beforehand so that it gives them more incentive to look past that.

Go to the police academy. There's always demand for more cops.

And if you can't do that, find out what people in your area need and then do that. My cousin couldn't get a job so he started his own repair business. Do something. Like you said, we don't know you or your full story or how hard you tried. What you don't need right now are people telling you "It's okay. You did your best but the world is holding you back." You may feel better but when all is said and done, you'll still be unemployed.

I don't look down on anyone that makes an honest living. Just get your foot in the door and you'll be surprised what happens. People will probably even appreciate the unique skills you've developed over the course of your life.

--In your defense, I just checked your profile. I don't know why I automatically assumed you were American. I don't know how things are in your country. Don't give up, though.

I strongly suggest anyone looking for a start job in their field should look into staffing agencies. They pay less, have less security, and crappy benefits but they are a great way to get experience. Even if the job is not directly related to your degree, just having experience in the corporate world will give you a leg up.

Once in a staffed/temp position, start looking for a new job immediately, you won't be burning bridges, staffing agency expect and rely on you doing it this way.

If it had not been for staffing agencies, I would not be in my current career, and there were times I would have been homeless without the income.

UK unemployment rate is 4% against 3% in USA... so it is very hard to be 10 years unemployed when trying te best to get a job. Or to send 1000+ applications and get not a single reply even if negative (this was said by him)

If he really did send that much applications and got no response then he should be aware that the application(and copys of that) that was send was most likely not good to begin with.

I thought you had to be working in order to get welfare? Or disabled, maybe? Maybe the OP is getting by with just enough money with what little he gains from being unemployed that his desire to seek work is below the threshold to which he will actually go and pursue a job.

Unless it was a typo, 1000 consecutive, failed, job applications is so far beyond the stretch of my imagination that it's hard to find credibility in any excuses that might be made.
