Dependent on Others

I’m 33, still living with my parents, and making less than $15/hour. I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to take care of myself like a normal adult should do. Things like pay my bills on time, take my meds, cook food, clean the house, etc. I am absolutely baffled that anyone does it. How can you make yourself do all that boring and intimidating work? And yeah, sure I feel ashamed, but not ashamed enough to change. [i]Everything[/i] in life seems to take more work than what it’s really worth. And they say there’s nothing wrong with me. I have ADD, but that’s all. I’m very intelligent, don’t have autism or any physical disabilities. I’m generally really nice and sweet to others, I work hard when I work, and I really have a high tolerance for pain. But apparently I deserve to be where I am because I’ve made poor choices, I must be a lazy good-for-nothing bum, a mooch. I don’t know, I’m really scared. I’m tired of this, I don’t want to live like this anymore.

Don't stress about not doing it alone, a lot of people are in the same situation. Your parents obviously love you so embrace it and help out around the house as much as possible, maybe this will help with your feelings.

Talk to your folks about what you’re thinking.
See if you can come up with a plan for independence between you.

Are you happy there and are they happy to have you there? if so dont worry about what other people say. If not, then you might just have to adult.
