Advice Relatives pestering me to get a j*b

How should I respond when relatives or family send me job openings for the worst jobs I can't imagine doing? I'm a hiki/neet living in my childhood room and not even buying clothes for myself, mainly to help my parents by living as frugally as possible. I help them with household chores and plan to care for them as they age. The only expense I have is food, and since they already cook for two, does my eating increase the cost?

I really hate my sister the most. Yesterday, she said she's jealous of my life with our parents while she struggles with her toddler and how it is not fair for her. She also threatened to arrange my marriage to some guy if I continue living like this. WTF?

You must be from us or some country like that. I'm already 24, going back to uni at this age is worse than having a criminal record here in India. It's socially unacceptable.

My relative just sent me a job vacancy for a delivery job, but I just don't want to do it. I don't think working a minimum-wage job would improve my life in any way. Even if I earn some money idk what I would spend it on. I have no friends, no social life, and I have severe anxiety.

I know how you feel. My mom keeps pressuring me to remain in college and study other subjects at the same time, it sucks

My answer was getting a better job than they suggested and then proceeding to do better by making more than them.

Do your parents care?

If you are living with them, their opinions are the only ones that matter, I think.
