I'm really sorry, anon. I don't know your parents as well as you do... is there a chance that sitting them down and having a blunt talk about how their "pep talks" are achieving the exact opposite of what they intend? Would they be receptive if you told them what you actually need - emotional support and real encouragement without judgment or "helpful" reminders?

My mother is like what you described. She means well, she just doesn't think I'm capable of figuring out obvious things for myself so she truly believes she needs to nag me to death for my own good. Nothing makes her stop except me snapping at her and that only makes her stop for a short while. It's not the healthiest approach, and it's a precarious one if you're relying on them for financial support.

You aren't broken, lazy OR worthless. You're in a bad spot right now, one that lots of people have experienced. There's no shame in it, though I know that's hard to really process because there's nothing like being unemployed to make a person feel utterly worthless. All you can do is try your best, get through each day as it comes and keep your head above water. I'm pulling for you, anon.

It won’t. Every time I try I just get told that I’m ungrateful that because they’re paying for it it’s technically their apartment and they’re only allowing me to live in it and that if I want to keep living here then they get to set the rules. They get mad if I even lock the door to my bedroom because to them the only reason I would lock my bedroom door is because I’m doing something I should it be doing (which is true I’m playing video games when I should be searching for a job but games are increasingly my only escape) and that it makes them sick when I lock my door because I’m treating them like some kind of criminal.

Get a temp job. Save some money. Go on Craigslist and find someone looking for a roommate. Move out of your parents’ apartment. If your parents try to stop you from doing any of these things, call the cops and report them for criminal menacing.
