Why would you shame someone at all? We only know a bit of what the OP's life is like from a few sentences. There could be more to the story than we know of.

No one is telling the OP not to get a job but like another anon said how hard is it to give a little bit of compassion? I know there are many of us that have been in a similar situation and have had no one to turn to when we needed help. A few encouraging words cost nothing and may make the OP feel better and possibly try and go out and look for work.

Seriously. I don't get the obsession with 'shaming'. Again, I think people only do it to feel superior.

Hey, I'm not trying to start any drama or be an asshole here, but sometimes the worst thing anyone can do is show too much compassion. It's clear OP has some problems, and I don't think encouraging them is bad, necessarily. It's when 'encouragement' turns into 'big hug box' that it's a problem. OP will never improve themselves unless they take that first step, and when people still encourage them to stay involved in fandom/not worry about it/not improve, they remain stuck in that sort of 'downward spiral' that anons below spoke about.

I'm not saying LOL BOOTSTRAPS BUCK UP SON, but I am saying that OP needs to stop dwelling on it and try to take some corrective action to improve their lives. Things don't improve because you wish it so, they improve because you make them.

Again, not trying to be a drama llama, just offering a different perspective.

But we don't know what is actually going on in the OP's life. All we have are a few sentences. And it's possible that the OP can't articulate what is going on very well. I know that I have that problem and it's hard to say or type out what's wrong.

I don't think anyone is coddling the OP here. We're just holding out a helping hand and that hand is there to get the OP headed in the right direction. That's all. There have been harsh comments on here toward the OP calling them lazy and such. How do we know they don't have severe depression? Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed let alone look for work. And sometimes it's easier to get lost in fandom to have some type of escape from the disappointments and frustrations of RL.
