if you're a bot this is too much.
I'm an technologically advanced bot
Do you consider selling online a "real" job? My parents won't accept that and they keep telling me to get a job outside

First thing I look for when searching for a bot is their profile picture.
If it's lacking or if it's an anime pic, chances are higher.
If they don't interact with others, chances go to 50/50.
If I see some kind of link, I click on it and check the cookies and background code.
Usually it's malicious, so that's 100 percent bot.
And going back on that in reverse:
1) Do not click on links on this site (or any other sites) unless you trust who sends the link. (I have several layers of protection)
2) You interacted with others before and knew the KPop lingo, which whilst can be programmed into a bot, it's extremely hard
3) Your profile pic is nothing so of course everybody gets suspicious if you mention another site for selling stuff online.
I figured I should provide something for the context, because if I didn', chances are people always ask. But yeah I didn't give any link.

A job is many things,
1. First and foremost, it should provide income and livelihood, which in your case it does.
2. Then it needs to give you opportunities to learn new skills and grow in ability/capacity, that might be tough to do with online selling ALONE.
3. Then it is about building contacts and trust networks, online sucks bad at that. People are drastically different in person vs. online., when it comes to interactions and trust-building.
When we are young, there is a tendency to underestimate the 2nd and 3rd factors, but experience (which your parents have), teaches the wisdom of them.
If your online sales is doing very well, I would suggest you look for other avenues to grow on the 2nd and 3rd factors and evidence them to convince your parents.

I'm in college still live with parents. To be honest I never got any job before. Instead I sell handmade stuff that I designed by myself online
However, my parents insisted me on getting rid of this because it's not a real job. I should have got out of the house and work in some stores like Walmart and McDonalds. Not only that, I felt very insecure when friends asked me what I'm doing, and when they knew that, they looked confused because they didn't really consider that a job. I thought some of them even laughed at me.
I'm feeling down now and don't know what to do. I love what I'm doing and to be honest I have somewhat severe social anxiety to be able to work outside. I know I have to get out there eventually but still....
What do you think? Do you have any advice for me?
As a guy who did very well in sales the difference between a job and a scam is are you making money and is it legal. I've sold everything door to door but vacuums. I did extremely well selling security systems. But I know how you feel. My mother, ex-wife, sisters always treated me like I was an unemployed loser, even when I was bringing in over 5k/mo... You do you. I loved sales in the beginning but later found out I just didn't have the mental fortitude for it. I ended up suicidal and with a major drug problem but that's just me.
