Khalil is a 29-year-old mechanic who has been a pessimist all his life. He once owned and operated his own auto repair shop, but it turned into a financial disaster; he had to close the shop and take a temporary job as a janitor. He reports that he now feels like a failure and is ashamed to be seen in public. For the past several years he has had persistent feelings of worthlessness and inferiority, and doesn't see any hope for the future. He has broken off his engagement because of his financial problems and his pessimism about his future prospects. However, he still frequently goes over to the home of his younger brother, and seems to be able to enjoy himself in the company of a small group of family members and friends who accept him. When he is alone, his feelings of failure well up inside him again. He reports that he spends most of his free time in his basement, cleaning his tools and staring aimlessly at the walls, wondering what he can do to avoid bringing further shame upon his family.
