I've been extremely sick for the past five months since I finished college. I spent most of my time in and out the hospital doing tests, but I didn't tell my college friends about it.
Now I'm trying to get a job and some of them are making fun of me for not having a job yet. Should I tell them I was sick? Or just shrug it off?
Is this thread for real?
I didn't get a job for 3 years after graduating.
>5 months
Why wouldn't you literally take a year at least before joining the working world?

Because college is expensive, and not everyone has unlimited access to money? What is he supposed to do for a full year without working? "travel the world?" fuck off rich kid

Sit at home and post on 4chan.
OP's problem wasn't money though, it was how he is perceived by his 'friends'

Oh... that makes me feel a lil better. I'm under pressure everyday by my stepfather to get a job, which I really do want, but I couldn't before because I was so sick.

And yea of course money is always a problem for me, but I'm about to start giving away my CV and hopefully get called by one of the companies I'm reaching. But it sucks because my college friends want to meet up and I guess they're all employed while I'm not, and I'm scared to say I was sick and they think it was an excuse.
Unless is was something embarrassing like a botched abortion go ahead and tell them. Jesus, get them off your back they're just makin you feel bad.
Didn't they even visit you in the hospital?

No nothing like that. And no, I tried telling to the closest two, but one of them changed the subject and the other one made a joke about me being "college sick".
I don't know, I feel bad. It's been five months and I'm still unemployed.
