>>76396100I took some intro level psy classes back in my day, and I'm not saying that I'm smart or anything, but it's interesting to live through some of the things that were academic. Supposedly you have parts of your life that are almost kind of like a pass/fail check, depending on what's important in it. Like, as a small child, it's important that you can trust your providers. In HS it's important to be popular. You can fail a handful of those skill checks and still cobble together a decent personality. But if you fail them all, you're doomed to inceldom. Even if you failed every phase of your life up until now, it'd probably be in your best interest to not give up, and try to pass all the rest of the psychosocial skill checks. I'm doing the best I can to fuck up less as my life carries on. And I'm seeing the results more and more.
tl;dr No matter how fucked up your life is at the moment, shore that shit up. The future is always watching. And you might be happy in the moment, but look ahead to the crazy meth head you know that was your older brother's friend. Do everything in your power to not be that meth head.
