Do you feel that you have not been prepared for this world?

[Versailles]

I believe that all my life I have had problems adapting to this society because from the beginning I was not taught how to do it, since I was a child I have been raised to prioritize studies instead of work and I was never taught to function in the world of work, And by the time I came of age they told me that now I must look for work without knowing how to do it and having a disability. Do you know what is the worst of all? that beyond the agreements and charitable acts that the labor sector can do, almost nobody hires disabled personnel, which caused me frustration to be raised in a kind of bubble where "you are capable of achieving anything" and "you have no limits ".

I was prepared for this world. No amount of cruelty & exploitation can surprise me.

 

[down for the count]

My parents were doctors and they taught me to be an independent thinker who seeks knowledge. This prepared me to do well in school but not how to function in society in which people prioritize conformity over integrity. Every day I realize how different I am from everyone else and I get poked and prodded by a distrusting society. I am not even talking about getting hired for a job but just doing everyday tasks like picking up food from a restaurant.

The world is rotten anyways. Even the "normies" are currently in trouble.

 

[Yugochild]

I was prepared, but I was also damaged, so the first cancels out the second. I'm 40, and I feel bad for anyone 20 or younger, cos you've got your work cut out for you! the competition to flourish now is harder than ever and it'll be even worse for the next generation. As for the 'bubble' you speak of - it's ubiquitous - it's not just Disney that lied to us LoL. I just quit at $90K / year job cos I couldn't fucking stand it for another moment. My plan is to survive on my savings for a year then exit this world on my own terms :-) You're not wrong, kiddo. The messages we're fed are total bullshit to reality

I wasn't prepared, I'm still not prepared, I'm learning as I live. I don't have time to think, everything I do is judged as soon as possible, right or wrong, good or bad, it was just the way it is.

I was so unprepared that I began to think and I still do, that I am mentally challenged in some way.

I can say that life IS like this. We were thrown here without knowing how to live, we learn to walk by falling.

"Failure. The greatest teacher failure is."

But some people, like me for instance, takes much more time than it is available to learn, I might be simply, slower than life and sometimes, I never learn.

Maybe because I was not designed with those abilities, or maybe, because I don't want to learn such ridiculous lack of empathy of needed to perform some tasks.

One thing is for certain. This world is sick and no matter how people try to "save" us from death. We will still die because we might be unable to became the soab's that the world needs us to be.

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, I feel like I have not been prepared for this world. I'm not sure there is a way for me to be prepared as life is unpredictable and you can try to control your life but factors out of your control can ruin everything. I just do not feel like I am suited for this world too, I have always struggled with living. Life is not for me and that is the way things are.

I wasn't taught how to deal with emotions, or that expressing them was okay. I think that's the main thing.

 

[filthyrottendirty]

It's not a feeling it's a fact

 

[Midgardsorm]

I wasn't taught how to deal with emotions, or that expressing them was okay. I think that's the main thing.

The world does not want us to express any kind of emotions.
We are meant to study and work without feeling anything and without saying anything.

That is how our system works.
As soon as we express our emotions, we are told to get "Professional help".

That's why you weren't taught to how to deal with your emotions.
People forget that you have feelings.

 

[moths]

YES i 100% feel like i wasnt prepared for this world and thats because its true. when i was a kid my mom was too busy drinking and doing drugs to give a fuck about me and now shes sober but just as emotionally distant and neglectful. i had a roof over my head and food to eat and nothing else. i was never taught how to cook or clean, i was never taught social skills and how to manage my emotions, i was never taught how to get a job or pay taxes. now im extremely behind other people my age, theyre all getting jobs and moving out and i'm a fucking neet with no friends because no one taught me how to do any of that shit and now it feels like its too late. didnt mean to go off on a huge rant like that but basically yes even if its for different reasons i know how you feel and youre not alone !!

 

[Marktheghost]

Yes. And no matter how obvious it is that I'm not coping, nobody's offering any support.

 

[ClownMe]

Im simply not cut out for this world.

 

[BrokenArrow]

Few things are more mindless, vapid or false than the whole "you can do anything" schtick. People have different limitations and capabilities. A lot of this is genetic and/or environmental.

Feeding people banal catchphrases without being realistic, without detailing any concrete steps or filling in any of the details is a dangerous game where you're relying on luck that they will figure it for themselves. Some people can, some people can't.
