What do you want to know?
I made $2,400 this month. $1,000 in rent is pushing the ratio. I also need to go the doctor, the dentist, and possibly even save for retirement.
I’m absolutely responsible for my circumstances, but I’m just regular person like everyone else. I want a family, a career, health and happiness.
I don’t know what I can do differently to keep striving towards those goals.
I’m as well adjusted to what’s going on in society as anyone else.

If you can afford $1000 / mo for rent there no reason for you to sleep in your car. Plenty of shared housing that would run you well below that. Posting over and over on Reddit probably isn't your best course of action. Easily find something for $5-600 withing the greater Boston.
I'm just saying there are probably way better places than Reddit to get help with your situation.

This month 1k would have been almost 50% of my wages. Unfortunately it’s not steady.
I assure you I’m looking. Been looking since September. Viewed several places. Lots of scams, lots of dilapidated/trashed rooms, or otherwise unsuitable arrangements.
I’ve used every service and website I can find. I know plenty of people make it work and that I’m not special… I’m simply not having any luck.

Sadly - 50% of wages is 'normal' these days. This place is FUCKED.

For sure. But I know people make it work through much more adversity.
I don’t understand what the difference is between me and anyone else.
I don’t know if healthcare and teeth and retirement are luxuries or not.
