Feel useless

I am unemployed after my LSE Econ and Philosophy degree, got a 2.1. I don't want a job and I don't want to apply to any but I have to get a job and I have to apply. Every single point in my life has felt like a critical point, do this to get this, do well so you can blah blah blah. I feel like I'm at the end of it throwing it away.

No one should ever feel helpless, useless, or to the point of giving up.
Sorry to hear you are unemployed after your, quite frankly, cool university degree. Well done on getting a 2:1!

If you don't want a job now, why not go travelling to another country? Discover some awesome sights? Meet some cool and unique people?

Maybe travelling isn't for you, so volunteer somewhere. Set your own hours, gain experience, and you might find something that catches your eye to pursue in a career. You never know unless you try.

Unfortunately, the way of the world now is all through apps, applying, competing with other people to get what you want most. But there's people out there willing to help so you can achieve those goals and aspirations.

Curious, what are your hobbies? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? When you were at uni studying, did you join any societies?
These questions can help unlock something that sets you apart from other people. They are things that make YOU unique.
