  • As a man, I have always looked older than my actual age. I don’t remember whether I acted older tho, probably not, but I don’t think I was too childish, or seen as, during my teenage years. I was definitely “the weird kid” tho.

    Breaking down tasks into a more understandable way really helps me complete them without feeling so worried. Afterwards, I give myself a high five and feel more relaxed.

    Breaking down a complex task into simpler parts is a good skill. Anyone can make complex shit, not everyone can simplify things without losing “the meat” of it.

    when I first became an adult, my mom kind of just threw me out into the world (…) She asked me if I would like to pick up my medication, or observe how she did it.

    I guess the upbringing makes a world of difference in this situation. I was being “trained” on being an adult early on, as I often followed my mom to many places as a kid, including pharmacies, stores and markets, so through observation I learned how to behave in those places. If she gave me the money and a list, I could easily go to the market and buy the stuff.

    There were other things that I wasn’t taught and had to learn myself, such as “you do NOT put wet clothes on the drawer. Ironing them will NOT dry them”. Did that once after I manually washed some of my clothes, because my mom never thought about teaching me something as basic as washing my clothes. After this incident, she insisted that I always leave clothes washing to her.

    I also use what I call a “token board,” at school, Where I basically Break a piece of paper into five sections (20 squares total). Each five stickers I get, I give myself a prize. However, The prizes are labeled, And the more stickers I get, the better the prizes become. This helps me do adult skills, while also teaching me to wait for prizes.

    Mobile games’ strategy, but applied to real life. I wish I had that amount of discipline!
