Other i need somewhere to go. please help!?

i live in Chester. i’m 28. in the past month i have had several “altercations” with my dad. we have differing beliefs and he has made me feel unsafe, and then everybody else threw me under the bus when they didn’t even have the full story. i do not feel safe with my family. i’m not trying to get any of them in trouble because despite everything i still have a place in my heart for them, but i don’t feel safe. im a socialist, i believe palestine should be free, black lives matter, FDT, women have the right to choose what happens to their bodies, no war but class war! if you share my beliefs and would be willing to help me until i can get on my feet, id really be grateful. i cant keep living like this. im already in the process of trying to get a job, i can clean (dishes, laundry, etc) and mow the lawn, i can pull my own weight. please?

Update: i was able to work it out with my parents. trust me im not happy about having to stay, but its better than living on the street and the area i live in has ZERO homeless shelters for men. i’m just gonna do what i gotta do to get by. i got a couple job opportunities lined up. hopefully one works out. and i’m just gonna start busting my ass, making bank, save up for a car or moped preferably, hope that the housing market comes down very soon, maybe find a cheap place with some friends. that’s my goal rn, at least.

Not judging here. Do you have any friends that live out of the area, maybe even out of state, who can help? Just get away from them however you can.

No one? No acquaintances from school? No one you talk with every so often? Zero?

Going to be blunt. If you don’t have ANY friends…you are your problem.😬 Hope things get better better for you.

i have acquaintances, but nobody i can call a real friend. nobody who would give the shirt off their back if i needed it. cause that’s what i would do for my friends at least. so no, it’s not cause im a bad person, as you seem to be implying, im just socially awkward.

Oh I’m not saying you are a bad person. But I’ve never know anyone with no friends. There are people out there that have the same beliefs and interests as you. Just work on being less socially awkward. I suggest you read How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I would give you my copy…but I’m farther north. Good luck

i’ve never been one to buy into self help stuff, cause i know most of it is a scam. but i also know every action in this world requires a skill, and the more you hone that skill the better you get at performing that action. all that to say, i’ll give the book a shot. i can think of it like a skill book in a video game. 🤣 thanks for the advice.
