There ain't a whole hell of a lot I can do to change my present situation. Believe me, i'd love nothing more. At the end of the day, it comes down to money and time of which I don't have much of either. I genuinely believe if I could live and work in the city and make enough to get by and then some, the vast majority of my problems would be solved. Unfortunately for me, I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.

As for your second point, assuming I understand it correctly; The only positive relationships I've been able to maintain are that of my sisters. I try to be honest and genuine with others but they either don't vibe with me or they try to take advantage of me. I get discouraged with trying. I had to end my first serious friendship because she kept trying to use me and if I objected to her she'd just pressure me more and try to make me feel bad. I have trust issues as a result of that experience. I asked out a woman I really felt a connection with and she told me she liked me too, then she found out I don't have a drivers license and told me she wanted to be friends. I honestly can't say I blame her.

If you have all the answers, what should I do? Therapy? Been there, done that. I went to therapy for years before my therapist terminated because she felt there wasn't anything more she could do. By the way, that question was rhetorical.
