Yeah that’s life. Even though the people on this site want to be kids forever eventually you have to grow up. My parents moved to a different continent for a better life when they were 18. Because of that they gave me a good life. I’m not giving up on my passions or something but I’m not a kid. I’m not gonna prioritize “following my dreams” over securing a good future for me and my kids.

Maybe you are but most people aren’t. Everyone on this site thinks they know everything. “It’s a trap man”. Yea it’s a trap that gives me free college, free housing, free food, free healthcare, and potentially $50,000 a year (in cash and benefits) as a teenager.

And idk which job yet I’m still trying to decide.

“Atleast here you have your mom” this is the mentality I’m trying to break out of. No offense but that sounds like something a child would say. I appreciate my parents but one day they’ll be dead. I’m not gonna just do nothing with my life because I’m scared to be away from my mommy.

one thing that’s ironic bout many posts itt is that ppl r like it strips your freedom! your individuality is gone! ah you won’t really like what you’re doing!

not realizing that those same criticisms apply to many jobs early 20s y.o. ppl will have regardless — maybe forever depending on the field chosen.

also some of you should consider that individuality is a somewhat a marketing ploy, and for you to care so much may indicate your own embeddedness in a system that works to limit and define your own “individuality”

not saying they are invalid criticisms whatsoever, but it’d help for y’all to look at your own situations too.

bro rn ur focused on the same thing 😟 we won’t all share the same perspective on s***, but digging into him because of it isn’t gonna help anything at all except ur ego. this kinda behavior is one of the consequences of self interested thinking/the idea of propagating your own individualism

bc now even if u are somehow perfectly 100% correct n u predict his life to a T (which iono if it’d be likely), he won’t listen cus ur just ... focusing on gettin ur comebacks off

edit past the point of usefulness: i don’t say this to b mean or b like “gotcha!”, i just think that if it’s true that there’s an imperative to help someone see a perspective that they don’t currently hold, rejecting them for sayin nah is like the nice-guy way to do things. it’s an attitude shared by many many ppl (including myself, sometimes in the past, sometimes still now) and i think it damages the potentiality of people ever coming around to seeing other perspectives. there r many ideas i’ve rejected in my past that i later took up to be useful, but if my teachers would’ve just been like “lmfao frenchpress f*** off bro”, i doubt i’d reconsider myself ever just bc of how my own ego would b tryn to defend itself
