In your case, my grandfather would tell you: "Take any job and trust that life will get better.
Don't go to work to make friends. Don't interact beyond what is necessary. Put your head down, and when your opportunity comes, take it."
He had nothing, no house, no food, nothing, because of the civil war.
And he started working on what he could. And he focused only on that.
Life was organized around his will and everything was given to him to be able to support 8 children.
(He was a member of the brotherhood of the sacred heart of Jesus)
