    I’ve personally never felt at home anywhere, so discovering places where I felt comfortable was oddly second nature, if that makes sense. I don’t fit in anywhere, so I make my home in the places where I felt most comfortable, regardless of stigma. Anyway, volunteering’s always a fun time. Lots of quirky people in similar boats

    Life has no preset stages. Some try to force you into accepting that it does but it really is an open world, with no storyline.

    You just do whatever makes you feel happy, whenever you want, and try to stay alive at the same time time

    Don’t compare yourself to others. You are who you are and that’s it

    I had a traumatic event in 2018 that, basically, changed my entire personality. Most people who know me still expect the same extroverted individual I was prior to that, but that person is dead. I now experience anhedonia and am emotionally neutral 99% of the time. The other 1% are manic episodes of both the good and bad variety.

    The thing that keeps me going is that I grew up performing in theatre and can fake it, but I’m looking forward to the day when I have enough to retire and live as a true hermit.

    As a plus, my condition has made me care less what people think. It just doesn’t matter to me anymore, outside of having to present as extroverted at work, since it will harm my career if I don’t.

    Life is hard. I imagine most people feel resistance somewhere in their life. It’s just hidden away from view. I have things to be thankfull for and things I struggle with. I rarely think I fit in. I’m not sure where I’m going with this.

    I realize this may come across as dismissive and am asking a real question. Doesn’t everyone feel like that? I thought adults were just old kids.

    Yeah but, as I age on paper, I care and try less to fit anywhere. I’m old since I’m a child, but recently I spent three years younger than my age. I didn’t tell anybody, because they wouldn’t understand. I have few friends that don’t fit too, it helps, even if our weirdness are different.

    I don’t think there’s any “adult” feel to feel.

    I think there’s only comfort with who you are and confidence in the things you do.
