An honest question from me...When do they get it?

[Mayne]

when do these little fuckers get life? What age? 18, 19, 26 what fucking age do they get how life works? I really want to know this.

As evidenced in the forum some never do.

 

[AdamK47]

I'm still trying to get life.

Why am I here? What purpose do I have? The answers elude me.

I just don't get it.

If and when they are trained properly.

My serious answer: it really depends. Some people want to be independent early on and will move out early. Some just want to mooch for as long as they possibly can.

By 18 I was pretty much ready to leave home, but I was also financially responsible, I knew I could not afford to do so without a solid real job income. So I stayed throughout college and a few years after. At 23 I bought my house and left my parents' house.

Never, as long as you keep supporting and enabling them.

I think I "got it" when I was 16 or so. Things just clicked & I woke up to adulthood and realized everyone was faking it.

On the flip side, I have an extended family member in his mid-50's who still doesn't get it. Still acts like an immature teenager, hasn't grown out of the BS drama stuff, makes life kinda miserable for everyone, spends his paychecks until he's broke & has to mooch. We're all still hoping that one day the mental VTEC kicks in, but who knows.

If they're of any relation to you, probably never.

Life's a Journey not a destination.

can't believe I just said that.

I think I was effin brain dead. Oh my god I was dumb. I was oblivious, aloof, insecure, and plain dumb.

I still am. I feel like my brain 'woke up' around mid 20s or even late 20s.

38 and no clue. think most people just try and cling onto things and follow society's idea of adulthood instead of deciding for themselves. Me I had depression 2 years ago, then lost people afterwards and now don't work and just waiting on north korea or some terrorists to end things. life, fuck it.

“I used to be with it, but then they changed what ‘it’ was, and now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me.”

Probably a couple of years ago (closing in on 32), a few years after I bought my house. I realized the majority of people don't know shit and either don't care or are just ignorant to a lot of things. If you don't get it... the ones you'd least expect to "get it" are the ones who do, and the ones who you think have their shit together probably don't.

fake as f*k on some straight up stalker sh*t

tbh I have no idea what that sentence means man

I remember being in high school when things "clicked"...realizing that for the most part, no one had any idea what they wanted to do with their lives, what life was about, where they were going, why they were doing it, and everything you saw in public was just a mask to hide their personal insecurities, so tl;dr everyone was just as clueless as I was but were putting on a good show around other people to try to fit in to with what they perceived as other confident people.

The key to work is show up. On time. And do something. That's about it. And be nice to other people. It's not that hard, but a lot of people struggle with those things.

You mean all the ones that F5 P&N every 5 minutes and have a circle jerk of liking eachothers posts 24/7?

There is a lot of truth in that man. I think I was around 25 when I finally "got it". About three or so years after my first son was born if memory serves. We became a family and my wife and I knew we wanted it to work so we got clean and never looked back. He's 15 now and starting drivers ed, got a head for math and science to which he didn't get from me. haha

 

[thebestMAX]

I dont think you can get "Life" anymore. Went out of print.

Looks like I'll never get life.

It doesn't matter who you are - you are someone's kink.

It doesn't matter how crazy you are - mental help can be had.

If you want that connection- you can get it.

I'd love to be someones kink. Sadly, that is not the case.

You're right about the mental help. I could use some help to be more crazy and spontaneous. I'm rather flat and boring.
