My greatest desire is to be independent
I don't care much for becoming normal socially, even if it does make life a lot easier. I don't get lonely or anything like that. I just want to be independent. I want a life where I do what I want...

work terrifies me, sick of not making any money
I need a job, but everything sounds far too scary. Even emailing someone about a job is terrifying as I'm almost too afraid to even open emails from someone.
I'm in school for graphic design, but...

I can't know this, but I feel like I would have less SA if I had an older sister. I'm pretty helpless with learning about the "real world" on my own. I always need to ask someone for help, or I just...

Yeah, I think my sister is what's really bothering me with this. She says I "keep to myself" but it's not as if I don't ever come out of my room. I go to school, go to work, run errands all the time,...

Hell yes it would. Not making enough money is worse to me than suffering through SA. It has consumed me over the past few years. I feel incredibly guilty that I don't make enough to support myself...

Mom is stressing me out
She won't accept help from anyone. If she's stressed about something, and I offer to help her, she refuses it. Then she later complains about how stressed she is, and how she needs help.
And she...

It's a nice concept, but I don't see how to do it.
Between trying to earn as much money as I can to help my family, to not moving out because I help them so much, my life is anything but mine....

So many things are wrong. I still have to live with my parents, at age 22, in this small town that keeps me so disconnected from things to do and people my own age. I never left after high school,...

I feel like I don't have the energy to keep up with things I'm "supposed" to do. Like, I got a driver's license at 16 and my first job not soon after, but that was absolutely all the effort I could...

I'm so tired of needing my parents to support me. I've been through school, got a job, and I have such little business right now that it's laughable. I'm back in school now, but it'll take years to...

Most of my reactions are completely internal
This is an observation I've made about myself recently. Unless something is really, really funny, I usually react only by thinking or feeling, not by showing anything on my face. I've realized that I...

I'm sorry to post something so negative, but I need to write this out.
