Hi /r/travel, I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but I really need some help/advice.
Here's the situation: I'm a 20 year old English male that lives with his parents. In my current situation I just feel frustrated; with myself, most of my friends, my family and this whole bloody country! I want to cut myself off from all these people that bring me down and make me feel as bad as they do. My father and I rarely talk. My mother is overprotective. I'm pretty sure my brother resents me deep down inside, but I think it would be better if I wasn't a part of their lives anymore. My "friends" don't care about me, they've never stood up for me and, to be honest, I couldn't give a shit about any of them. I have only one true friend out of a group of 10 or so and even then I'm sure he doesn't value me as much as I value him. I don't think I'd mind if I didn't speak to any of them anymore, and I'm sure they'd forget me pretty quickly, not that that's a bad thing. I have a shitty part-time job that's not going to go anywhere, and I can't find a better one because I failed college twice and as a result never went to University. I have barely any skills and probably no potential but I would like to learn some, hopefully through experience. I think that a change of scenery and people would be welcome. Maybe I could get a new perspective on life, I don't know... It's just that everything and everyone here makes me feel so negative and hopeless.
So here's why I'm posting all this here (sorry if it seemed a bit whiny): in a couple of weeks I will be receiving just over £1500. I want to cut off all ties of my former life and live in a different country with different people and a different culture and where they don't just make snide remarks all the time. I want to feel positive about myself, and have people believe in me, instead of putting me down and making me think I'm useless and never going to accomplish anything. I want to be able to go into a social situation without the fear that these people know things about me that could be embarrassing so that I can be myself. So please, does anyone know of a good country to start researching? Some people I know have gone to places like Australia, Thailand and Korea, but I don't really know where to start. Ideally it would be a cheap plane ticket, a high chance of finding a job (even if it's shitty, anything to get away from this place of disillusionment) and a welcoming environment. I know this sounds like a lot to ask for, but any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance to anyone that replies, and I'm sorry for the long rant-ridden post. I guess I had more on my mind than I thought. By the way, I would like to return to my hometown at some point, I don't think my Dad will be alive for much longer and I'd like to see him before that happens, but while I'm gone I'm going to change my number, delete my Facebook and remove any trace of them being able to find me, hopefully for a couple of years at least. Thanks again.
