I thought like that once - about my life expectancy, but things changed and now I am a lot older than I ever thought I would be. And I have no intention of dying any time soon, despite my aching creaky body.

Kip, no-one in their early 20’s has done that much. Take comfort from friends here in WP who understand where you are at and who wish you well. There is no harm in living with parents still. I had to go back home with 2 kids after my first marriage failed and was glad I had a haven. I’m still not that good at looking after myself at 65 but luckily have a partner who does. (Sorry probably irrelevant).

I guess I have it easy because I have never expected to achieve anything. Having friends, going out to places, being in a relationship, having a career, accomplishing this and that is for other people but not for me. I eat, sleep and seek recreation. That's it, that's what life is mainly about far as I'm concerned.
That was me most of my life. I did want a romantic realtionship after my 1st one fell apart at 20 & did want a job but I had little luck with those things for a long time & wasn't sure I would ever have any luck. I only worked about 38 months & I didn't get my 2nd realtionship till I was 28 & my current one at 29.


I'm more on the severe side with my autism. Withdrawn and nonverbal etc. There are a lot of social components I don't have. That's what I mean by having easy along those lines.
