Hm dunno what to say to that. It makes me happy when people try not to blame their parents for their setbacks
we all grow up with some setbacks, but I think we always have time to learn once we grow up. It's never too late to start cultivating new qualities in ourselves imo. I certainly wasted a lot of time being lazy when I could've been working on skills when I was younger too, and I wish that my parents would've pushed me more and allowed me to learn responsibility for myself too. So now, when I'm basically supposed to be an adult, I kind of just feel like I'm doing my best to fake it, if you know what I mean
not really like being fake towards others, but I pretend to be able to schedule things and make appointments and look professional when deep down I don't feel that way. And I feel like if I don't keep up that act for people, I'll be judged harshly, and people won't trust me with responsibility, and I'll lose my autonomy somehow through that. Plus I am really sensitive to criticism about that, because a lot of people have judged me on it before from thinking that I only have a silly side to me. Sometimes in that way I feel like a child in an adults body. Especially because, literally, I've always looked like I was 18-25 even as a young teenager. A lot of people have always told me that, and so I've always been expected to act older than I was. On the flip side, sometimes I also feel like an adult in a child's body, because I feel like age doesn't always help to make people more mature or have more self-knowledge, even if it makes them more experienced.
