I Was Unemployed at 25 in Vietnam — Here's What No One Tells You

I Was Unemployed at 25 in Vietnam — Here's What No One Tells You Being unemployed at 25 in Vietnam isn't just about job hunting — it's about facing family pressure, comparing yourself to friends, and questioning your own worth, all while navigating the cultural expectations of adulthood in Vietnam. In this video, I open up about the eight months I spent unemployed, the anxiety and self-doubt that came with it, and the lessons I learned about patience, self-worth, and moving at your own pace. If you've ever felt behind in life, pressured by family in Vietnam to "figure it out," or exhausted from comparing your timeline to everyone else's — whether you're in Vietnam or anywhere else in the world — this video is for you. I share what really happened during that period: the silence after job applications, the dread of family dinners, the slow erosion of confidence, and how I eventually found my way back to myself while living through unemployment in Vietnam. This isn't a success story with a perfect ending. It's an honest, personal story about life in Vietnam at 25 — what it feels like to stand still while everyone else seems to be moving forward, and what I learned from that stillness.
