>>4141447Your post hit my filters. I don't even know for what but I should really nuke the the non-Rin-related rules.
>don't take mind altering drugsI'm touched by your concern, but truthfully speaking I'm such a wussy I've never even been drunk in my life so really all I meant by that is alcohol and weed. For now.
>It makes me feel inadequate and like a manchild.Despite living independently, I really don't feel any different. Having one parent that never treated you as anything more than a little child and another that never even talked to you is a pretty disconcerting experience. Whatever I have is a blessing and a curse. But I feel for you, living with your parents must feel much worse.
>Now I'm the old one and I'm looking at the young people with opportunities and careers I envy and wish I tried but was scared to doThere's a lot of young people in my workplace too. The difference between me and them is that I have a real skill at the work I do that most people here don't seem to grasp and again this is not just bragging. You should look for that skill too. When I started working in my field 5 years ago I knew nothing despite having a bachelor's in this shit. Programming just really clicks with me because everything is logical. You can automate the work to do itself and my goal every day is to do as little work as possible by hand while still getting it done.
I'm open to your suggestion. But get this, I don't even have Discord nor any alternatives. I legitimately never talk to people even online and a real time chat is fairly daunting to me.
