    Probably somewhere around the age of 14 when most of my friends started doing “adult stuff” and I still prefered the things I had been doing up untill that point and now at over 30 I still prefer that over adulting.

    I don’t know if I’m actually that different from other people but I sure do feel like it. I’m quite independent. I like solitude and I tend to form my own opinions on stuff instead of adopting what people around me think.

    I’m probably on the autistic spectrum somewhere and I don’t think of myself as very nice person. I mean I don’t treat people badly ever but I’m not much of a people pleaser either and can be quite blunt from time to time. Surprisingly many people still seem to like me so I don’t know what’s wrong with them.

      Yeah, I remember as a kid, people always seemed to be in a hurry to grow up and do adult things and I never understood it. As an adult, I still don’t understand why they were so keen on growing up so fast. I’m still very immature at my core, even if I’m able to do things like hold down a job and pay the bills.
