I have been a NEET for eight years and I lack a variety of skills most people have had since childhood. I think I might have severe mental retardation I can’t>read an analog clock>can’t tell you what a vowel or verb is>can’t do long form addition or subtraction >I only recently learned the months of the year in order >doesn’t understand fractions>people who meet me have described me as highly intelligent>they don’t knowI think a lot of this is due to the fact I got put in a “special ed” school where instead of teaching us anything it was just to keep us out of trouble for the day. I was beaten there by worse retards and decided to avoid people at all costs for the rest of my life. If I choose to reintegrate into society my profound lack of knowledge will become obvious and I think about how embarrassing that is constantly. When I try to teach myself these things I remember it for tops three months and then I forget. I taught myself to read a clock before and could do it perfectly but months pass and I currently don’t remember for some reason.Do you think I should get my brain scanned or something? I don’t know anyone else who has problems with such simple concepts. I have otherwise a variety of antisocial behaviours I picked up from when I was being battered and make retarded decisions like leaving threatening voicemails on some jews phone because he was harassing me. That’s been the latest drama in my life he denied provoking me and the cops chalked it up to a schizophrenic event and called it a day.What this means is I am observably retarded enough to the point they refused to prosecute me. And people I know still say about me I’m a “misunderstood” genius or something like that. What they don’t understand is I am unironically retarded and will probably need to live in some assisted form. What can I do /adv/? Just kms? I wasn’t planning to make it to 24 years old.
If you can't be 25 when you are 25, and am instead acting like a 12 year old, just try to happily be 15 as a 25 year old. It's one thing to be the guy who can lead others, but it is another to be a guy who can lay back and enjoy the moment for what he has. Imagine your life where instead of demanding your mother get this truck everyone is driving, you just happily accept getting rides like anyone else because she wants you to or the same with not working or anything like. But again in moderation. Point is, just go at life with a gentle pace it is meant to be not force things that aren't supposed to be there. The less gentle you are with life the more you are likely to break the glass element that makes it. You may be wondering what is this idiot namefag talking about? I'm talking about moderation anon. Don't bite off more than you can chew and at the same time don't wait around for your dreams to fall on your lap. The best way to go about this is one step at a time, and you know being like a teenager in a positive way isn't all that bad that 4chan and the hood makes it out. You're enjoying life and not bothering anyone.
>>34567140I’m ngl Zach I don’t understand what this means. I don’t do well with vague implications of what should be done.
>>34567180I know you don't, and unfortunately I got to live with that my entire life. However, if you grow the way you're meant to, life gets easier, as opposed to the way it isn't meant to.
>>34567117It's a good idea to get an IQ test done and see if you actually should be on some kind of welfare for retardation. For the other skills you mentioned, go to Khan Academy and do their basic math courses
>>34567117People probably describe you as intelligent because that’s the stereotype for loner types. If I were you I would make a larger list of concepts you don’t understand and work on one of them a day. If you make it routine you can improve those skills.
>>34567117Do you have any diagnosed conditions anon?
>>34567199I have ADHD and a vague “psychosis” diagnoses. I have a case worker and a doctors that study me in exchange for money. They say my mental state is “unique” whatever the fuck that means. I take a metric fuckton of medication which makes me even more retarded and dulled.
>>34567207Yes, but it is to help you. You're supposed to beat their plan by slowly following it and then when done go back to your normal life.
>>34567117Do you have any accomplishments? Has your time as a NEET really been spent on nothing?
>>34567312I learned how to play the Piano pretty well I guess. Other than that my life revolves around modding a copy of fallout 4. I have reached 2600 mods on a stable build. If I hyperfocus on something I become a master at it it’s just broader skills I struggle with. You don’t need basic math to mod a video game just like you don’t have to read music to play music. It just so happens the skills I’ve learned are just hobbies and have no real world value.
>>34567328So your good with computers obviously why not do something with that? I don’t know much about modding but that can’t be easy. Can you code?
>>34567349Nope I have tried before but needless to say I can’t do it.
>>34567367I think you have dyslexia, not retardation.If you were retarded, you wouldn't even be able to navigate 4chan.
