My parents always said I should be a lawyer when I grew up because I was so good at arguing. According to my dad, I could "argue with a dead man". Whenever someone was slighted somehow, I was always like, "We should sue them!" or "I want to sue!"

No. I'd like the money, but I'm no good at arguing back and forth, and the dry texts would be impossible for me to study.

My mom often said I should be a lawyer because I liked to argue. I kind of s#cked at it sometimes thou & have disabilities that would really limit me with law including dyslexia, anxiety about public speaking & shuddering when I talk sometimes due to a tremor disorder that can affect my voice. I do sometimes find TV shows about lawyers interesting but I know I could never do that & don't really have a desire to. As for the arguing thing... My mom never understood my many disabilities, issues & Aspie quirks & was pretty critical of things. I felt I had to argue with her in order to have my needs met & have any kind of support & slack. I never liked arguing & it tended to ended up with me having a meltdown because I was not being listened to.
