This is a kinda embrassing question to ask so pls don’t judge.
I did have moments where I like… went to the local library alone, or like an all day school trip or something…
But I never really like… explored outside alone… especially far from home…
So like… I feel scared about the idea of like… just going for a walk all by myself…
I realize I’ve always just asked parents to drive me somewhere so I never got a chance to just get in the habit of being by myself.
I don’t have a driver’s license so I don’t really have like a car to “retreat to”, if you know what I mean, like as in sort of “castle”.
How do I even “feel safe” just being outside on my own? For context I’m non-white so it’s… kinda intimidating… especially in the current context of US political atmosphere.
You mean driving lessons with dad lol
Driving school would “be a waste of money” my mom would say
And I don’t really have financial independence yet… so… whatever… their rules…
I need the learners permit thing… I’m gonna wanna get that soon.
No friends 😭
That’s what I get for having a stunted social development because of mom that held on to me too tightly and never allowed me a chance to grow.
(I’m introverted, and like… does anyone even talk to each other anymore after highschool is finished?)
