Being an adult is such hard work...

I'm really struggling atm.
I know I moaned yesterday. But I just really can't cope.
I want a lot of the things other people do. A stable job, a nice boyfriend, to go on holidays and have really good friends.
There's a lot of these things that are next to none n existent.
I've been waiting for a long time to start my life and I've had to do the things I want more or less on my own.
I'm feeling stuck a lot of the time. But it's mostly because I feel like every time I take 2 steps forward I take 10 steps backwards...

I hate standing still and feeling like nothing I planned for is coming to fruition even though I know it is. Its just always on my own...

@Strictmichael75 I think my perspective my be warped on a lot of things. But I often feel excluded and consequently don't push myself forward or into things because I get rejected so much.
I dunno sometimes just being around others and quiet was enough to satisfy my need to feel apart of something. But then I was labelled sneaky or the weirdo...
I guess when your quiet you do become apprevy to things. And when the leader or the bully targets you and digs for information I wasnt always prepared for the fake kindness followed by the hidden agenda and or the blatant bullish bully who intimidated me.

I thought I worked on a lot of things but I've still got lots to deal with.

@Mellowgirl my best advice is to force yourself to stop caring. it’s been the best medicine for me. it’s not easy but .. i’ve had less stress and being in a quiet cocoon ( most of my life been under a microscope and in a loud , toxic environment. ) unless your looking for love and support , then don’t isolate yourself

hope you beat this !!! kick ass
