I’m glad my parents didn’t give a shit about me. It forced me to learn on my own even if it happened slowly

Throughout my life, I’ve gotten to know several people like that. They all have mental or physical disabilities, but you would never know until they told you.

I only know one person like this and he actually tries but parents are rich and he gets fired from everything he does so he ends up back into old habits

Similar situation happened with my girlfriend. Her parents did nothing for her, while mine did everything for me. She’s younger than me but I still rely on her to take care of certain adult tasks, like scheduling appointments and making phone calls. I have too much anxiety to do it on my own. One time I got a job at a call center to get over my fear of phone calls, and the only thing that did was make it worse. People are so much more rude when they can’t see your face!

Unsolicited sales calls - especially at modern day volumes - are about as well-received as someone knocking on your toilet stall to try and convert you to Jesus.

I think people who do work that involves contact with the general public have to be petty emotionally resilient. I am no good at it. A lot of the public are utter wankers and throw you into fight or flight mode.
