    The “normal” stuff, getting someone to stay with them and marrying them, losing their virginity, living by their own, having kids. I will never reach any of that.

    Going to college, getting a good job after acquiring a degree, holding that job for decades, retiring, being able to afford a middle-class lifestyle.

    My dad can keep a job better than me. He’s had like five jobs, each one for over ten years.

    I’ve had like 30 jobs, and the longest for maybe 1.5 years. I’ve been fired a handful of times.

    Somehow my father can just find a groove and stick with it. In me a dissatisfaction grows really fast and I waver on things.

      same here and i think my parents got good at sticking with a groove because they had a family of 7 to feed, cloth, and house; meanwhile i have only had pets that don’t grow up to be shitty self entitled tweens.

    My grandparents raised me mostly and their house is always in order. Particularly washing. I never seem to get to the end of it and also do not enjoy it.

    My mom kept up with her friends from high school and college until she or they died, I cannot.

    My dad was ridiculously smart, like could learn anything, keep a lot of knowledge in his head, could look at any idea and really consider it without believing or reacting to it, if that makes sense. I don’t have the same fearlessness.

    Trusting the official sources of information, understanding what a person ought to do in life, see a value of their jobs, believing in controversial things.
