My younger brother is in this rut. I struggle with how to talk to him about it too. I want to help him but he is in his 40's now and has been unemployed on and off for a very long time. He lacks motivation or ambition I think. It's a really tough situation. I don't have any advice for you other then know that people probably want to help you but a lot of this needs to come from your own ability to motivate yourself. Get out there, get a job and work your way up. If you work hard and people see that you're motivated, you'll eventually work your way up and out of this. If you're sitting at home waiting for a job to come, it's never going to happen. Life is a constant struggle with ups and downs. You gotta work hard when you're younger because it only gets harder when you get older.
