im nearly 21 and since i was around 15 have been dedicated to becoming ready to become a proper person. i spent most of my life bullied for my personality/looks or ignored so i cast off any hope of ever having a social life, boyfriend, being pretty or getting a job.
i don't know why i had hope but this time almost 5 years ago i thought i shouldn't waste my life content with being forgotten and should still try. i've gone from having no idea of personal hygiene to taking care of my skin, learning to do makeup and buying outfits and actually got a job but i'm still lagging behind and haven't even attempted anything socially yet. i'm diagnosed autistic and can't talk to anyone without clamming up, makeup/style can't change bad facial features and when i do take myself seriously i feel like a retard playing dressup, it's feels wrong on me.
my sister is 23 and because all of her friends are settling down, even some people from my old classes are already buying houses, having serious careers and having kids. i wanted to make the most of my 'youth' whatever that entailed but i think if i'm still at this position at 21 there's no reason in trying anymore, would you say it's too late? people say it's never too late to start all the time but i think there comes a point where it's obvious that i'm out of my depth trying to force myself into a lifestyle when naturally i am autistic, socially embarrassing and unattractive and there's only so much someone like that can do. it's just hard to accept at times.
