What's on your mind right now?

Post Reply New Topic

I am wondering if I would be able to support myself.

^ If you have to wonder, you probably don't.

You can basically add another $1000 on whatever figure you came up with to gain independence / move out / be self sufficient cause life never works and there will be several unexpected speed bumps, you can't see them ahead of time but you can anticipate them.

University proved [among other things] that I can't live alone.

I have been an a**hole lately but I do care, maybe not about those in my current life, but I still feel empathy. You know when I left home I was very very ill prepared for life and I have become rather self sufficient in my own ways, still got problems but I adapted. The point is you say you can't live alone and that might be true but the way you say it isn't, if its true, then you can't live alone right now. You don't stop learning things just because your an adult, in fact I have learned most things as an adult.

^True. However, I completely broke down over and over again during my stay at residence for three and a half months, even though I came back to my house every Thursday or Friday and went back every Monday. No one knew how horrible it was, because I didn't tell anyone. I wanted to do what my mum wanted me to do, I wanted to please her, I wanted to make her proud of me.

DO NOT LIVE FOR OTHER PEOPLE

They will see it and use it as a means of control,

Additionally, I do have some ideas of how horrible it was.

I am breaking down in projects now, before that it was the street and I didn't have a loving family to take me in and when they did it was done out of manipulation and for gain. So yeah I have some ideas of how horrible it is but it'll never get better if you live for someone else.

Is there a way to move out with a backup plan?

I love backup plans.

Probably why I am alive.

I don't know why, but I love to make good things out of old, bad things. Like how I put all my short stories into my old school binders even though my mom could totally get me new and less beat up ones if I wanted? I geuss it's for closure.

Then who are you supposed to live with?

^Well, at my house, with my mum.

Oh, right. Duh.

I'm still in that decision phase. I'm sure I'll start looking up stuff, wonder what the hell I'm even doing and give up before even making an attempt.

Oh no, I'm well-aware of individuality and such, it's just that when I see a issue that commonly comes up that I feel I know next to nothing about it makes me wonder, both what people saw in me back then and of how right or wrong they were. Obviously I haven't eliminated it from the realm of possibility as I found my way here (plus I'd be lying if I said I were perfectly normal, being the introvert that I am), but I'm still a skeptic.

Not much....

Getting myself home for the day.

okie, thanks. i often wonder the same thing. i was diagnosed at age 4. it has been so long since then, and i was obviously so different that i have to wonder, does it really still stand? i haven't really been "tested" since then.

maybe if they did test me now, they'd find i wasn't really on it. the spectrum. i really don't know how i'd feel if it turns out that's true.

I just want the day to be over already and it's only 10:36 AM.
I'd rather be home and watching Doctor Who.
I should get a shirt that says just that.
