I graduated college late for reasons largely beyond my control (actual medical issues, saying the wrong things to the wrong professor, courses being canceled midway, and many more).

My hopes of doing research are long gone (have at least 4 PhD application rejections down the drain, letters of recommendation are hopeless to get) and I'm now stuck working an uninteresting, underpaid job surrounded by incompetent people.

My friends and family constantly belittle me for being a failure compared to them, and they aren't even wrong if you look at it objectively.

How do I not KMS? It was the only thing I had left in life and now it's gone.

This, and also, why can't you just research independently?

DO NOT REPLLY

OP posts this daily, word for word. He is not interested in advice. He is just addicted to posting.

So you pissed off the professor/TAs, and expect another school to take you without finishing on time or being helpful with research on the side. Time to get a real job.

He wants paid, but has already confirmed he doesn't have the skill, or is so much of an ass that no one wants to work with him.

Don't know why people are being so hostile to you. If it makes you feel better, a lot of research jobs are going to be lost to AI (depends on your field ofc). What exactly is it that you wanted from a research job? Money, status, just a general love for the subject? DESU, money and status were never going to come to you. There's too much competition in grad school and in post-grad. A lot of people end up right where you are after getting the PhD, if that brings solace.

Do you know how expensive research can be? There's a few areas were independent research is possible, but you're not going to buy a particle collider or whatever out of pocket.

That's why I ask for specifics in OP's vagueposting but it looks like they're just a cloutfag and do not actually give a shit about their field of research
