I've been a jobless parasite for virtually my entire life. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's easy to stick a label to it, but I don't know if I'm mentally ill, or sociopathic, or just developmentally messed up and poorly socialized. I don't enjoy not working. It's not a free ride, it's guilt and shame every time ... | self.offmychest |
Talking to my girlfriend is a chore I'm an 18F and I've been with my girlfriend (17F) for 3 months now. Talking to her and being around her is so draining.

You ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you'll always mess up?
