How do I deal with wasting my teens and early twenties with being afraid of what people, especially my goddamn family, thinks of me?I see all these younger people living their dream life just because they didn't give a FUCK about what their parents or teachers said or because they had some sort if support system or something. I live alone now and have only limited interactions with my loser family now. But I still get so fucking envious and furious. Furenvy. I wanna be like them. I guess all that's left now is to finally just follow my own dreams, amirite? I feel like maybe, deep down, I already kniw what to do, I already have the blueprint to my dream life, I just can't fully articulate it yet. Any advice? Can anyone relate to this tirade ?
>FurenvyI'm sure that's a very sweaty disgusting convention somewhere

>>34381017My parents were/are helicopter parents, and while I'm still a bit enslaved myself, my youngest brother abruptly left the family leaving a brief letter saying he was going to work on a new job and he might contact us in a couple years (nearly a decade later and no sign). Maybe he killed himself, maybe he's enjoying a totally new life. Making a clean break leaving no traces could be the best way.
>>34384262Well, I wanted to do that too but I'm still financially dependent on those fuckers (1,5 years of education left) and while I did move out, I only moved out not so far away and they know where I live :(
>>34384262>>34384593After I paid off my debt and finished my education, I might just fuck off to Asia without telling anyone about it. It's not like I have any friends here anyway, lol
>>34381017I find it helpful to think about all the comments I've read and people I've met who say your 30s are great. Because it's when you stop worrying about what other people think of you. Keep your head down until you're done with your studies. After that you're free
>>34384617Fuck yeahAfter my studies I still owe my family like 40k, but THEN I'm fucking free from them.
>>34384262>he was going to work on a new job and he might contact us in a couple years (nearly a decade later and no sign)Fucking based.
>>34384650Funny thing is he's the gigachad of the family too, he's nearly a foot taller than the rest of us and has a giant jaw
>>34381017Can't relate. I literally rot away at home watching Harry Potter movies and have no idea what I want from life. I am 36.
>>34386620Even more based. Weird, you'd think that today you could find people more easily, are you sure he's completely deserted?
