actual adults always say im so mature for my age and that im well adjusted and put together but thats just cuz i square my shoulders when i speak and know how to pay off my credit card. i never learned how to wash my face and i routinely have to be reminded to shower and i dont know how to talk to people my own age or how to dress myself in anything except a t shirt and jeans or eat anything except frozen meals and fast food and im too scared to go to the store by myself because what if i do it wrong and then i get yelled at and i just feel generally unprepared to be a part of the real world
#shush up jj#personal#realized recently that although i was given a lot of freedom as a child i was not given much guidance#so i know how to handle myself in fucked up situations#(crashed my bike and cut my shin down to the bone and patched it up with my skirt and rode home cuz i didnt have a phone)#but in every day situations? no clue.#i didnt brush my teeth ages 6-17 cuz nobody showed me how to do it myself after my mom stopped doing it for me#in high school i got in trouble for not washing my hair properly even though id been getting in the shower and getting it wet and soapy!#how was i supposed to know about washing the scalp!! nobody told me!#and so now im having to learn all this stuff in my 20s?? i have to learn to behave socially as a young adult AND i have to learn hygiene??#that most of my peers learned as Literal Children?? tell me how thats fair
