Re: Failing as an adult

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who pretty much fails at life, yeah I do.

It was hard watching everyone my age get married/engaged/have kids and get real jobs that weren't for kids or what are considered adult "losers," take care of themselves financially, run a household, etc, and not feel like every capable person wasn't judging me for being a loser whose only future was being a 40-year-old basement dweller in a parent's house.

I am getting better at accepting who I am, and changing my perceptions and recognizing societal expectations vs MY expectations and not letting the former influence my decisions as much as it used to.

I'm also realizing a lot of judgments were coming from people who were supposed to be on my side but instead were being manipulative assholes who don't have my best interests at heart. It's easy to say "believe in yourself and don't let others' judgments bring you down" but the hard part is recognizing it is happening at all. You HAVE to recognize what and/or who is holding you back. And then you have to get away from it. You may not have a perfect plan, but if it can get you somewhere (to where you can formulate a better plan), then at least that's something.
