I don't know where else to rant about this.
I'm 27, gay, and still live in one of my parents houses. I've never had a job in my life, don't have a license, as I never needed a car (as I've always been chauffeured around everywhere), and I've never been guided or forced to do anything with my life. I graduated from a private catholic school, never cared to attend college so I didn't, and 9 years later here I am still living in my parent's beach house doing nothing really except enjoying my day by the pool or by the beach.
Since I'm alone practically all the time, me, the maids, and chef hang out a lot. They're practically my only friends, but they too don't understand my desire to now get on my own when I have everything here for me.
My days are quite easy as there's 3 maids, a chef, limo service, etc.. that are on the resort this house is located on, and they are hired solely to do everything for me so I don't need to do anything at all.
I've never had a work ethic instilled in me by my parents, as they are never around, and never had the time to spend with me. I guess I've used that as my excuse for so long, but it is what it is.
My parents both have been occupied with their jobs since I was born. I was basically passed off to the nanny and maids that work under them, and that's how it's always been. I honestly only see my parents 1-2 times a year because they never like to come to the islands, so I am always here by myself. I am only flown out to see them usually during Christmas or for my Birthday.
I basically have just been able to do what I want for this many years. So I've done practically nothing at all to establish myself or find out who I am and what I'm made of, as an individual outside of my family. I don't have any brothers or sisters, and have never met anyone else in my family as they're dead or my parent's haven't kept in touch.
I feel like my life is just getting started and I'm way behind everyone else in my age group. I don't even know where to begin as I have no one I can relate too. I guess I'm just wondering where do I go from here? How do I come out of my parents shadow into my own at my age?
I've tried making real friends outside of the maids and chef, but it's always the same story, once people see how much wealth my family has, they try to extort money out of me so I've always learned not to trust anyone. Also I live on a island people basically just come to, to vacation, and then leave.
I really want to do something with my life but I don't even feel guided or like I have a purpose to do anything. I just have a strong urge to experience something more than this. What would you do if you were in a similar circumstance as me? Thank you.
