I was in a similar situation for a while. Don't let others get in your head. More and more people in the US are living at home w/ their folks until they get married these days. It's very common in other countries like Spain (I spent time there). The younger generation (or people w.o. much) don't have the opportunities the generations prior did.
You're lucky to be "safe". I was lucky to be "safe". You never know if/when you may find a way to something new and potentially more rewarding.
One thing that helped me were NAMI support groups. The people at those groups will understand what you're going through. Depending on the area there may be as many as a couple week. I used to make as many as possible and they basically just go around and everyone shares what's going on. No judgements. And it's nice caused you never know who will show up each week.....it's nice to know others deal w the same issues and to get feedback from them which is honest and truly w.o. judgement.
I also had issues w smoking pot which (due to an arrest in different times) forced me to go to NA twice a week. That turned out to be another place I somehow felt at home. I was even a real "addict" I just had an issue w pot and sometimes pot would cause amanjc switch in me. Even still the people in there are all supportkve and every now and Again there'll be a peer you can really relate to....perhaps become friend with...Don't judge yourself based on what you think others think of you though. At least try not to. A lot of people live at home. There are worse places to be....
