Does anyone else feel like a little kid who doesn't have the mental wherewithal to navigate this world?
I've developed little to no life skills (can't drive, can't socialize, can't cook, no job, barely any friends, haven't graduated college) in my 24 years. Everyone says things move at a different pace for different people but I feel so far behind my peers—or even those who are younger than me. I relied on my old partner for everything life-related and a year post-breakup am still feeling lost. I'm scared to go outside and face the world. I have no idea how I will ever function "normally."
Edit: Not sure if this would be better suited for the Offtopic section but it's too late now.
