My parents never taught me any basic life skills.

It sucks how i have to go through life on my own, toddling feet and figure everything out that I should’ve been taught when I was way younger and some times I struggle and then get mocked for my attempt by my peers who all had a much better leg up (had parents that taught them how to do basic skills, supported them, etc)

But it’s hard because even though I’m WAY more successful compared to where I started from, and it took a LOT of hard work... it looks like nothing or just average at best compared to everyone who had a normal baseline. And I get put down for that sometimes, that I’m not where my peers are or where I “should be” at my age.

Just be u, give it time and those things will come naturally. Basic skill, like cooking? Got books and youtube for recipe for help. Open a savings account and build up on savings, like £10 a week MINIMUM goes in that account for example.

Learn from peers but don't let them put u down. You're on different wave lengths only cause of experience but start from somewhere u feel comfortable.
