When your parents can lie, but not for you.
They were telling people I was homeschooled when I wasn't even enrolled in school, but now they can't lie about me having a job to nosy family members? Lmao
Crazy how they can only tell the truth when it doesn't make them look bad.
Basically a loser if you don't know what that means. No job, education, friends, partner, looks, social skills.
Anyways, a little about me! I'm 18 years old, and I was unschooled for a good chunk of my childhood. Because of that I don't have a good education and lack social skills.
And going outside by myself is really intimidating, so I haven't been able to get a job or meet new people.
It's a fan discord for a youtuber. There's alot of people there that are around the same age as me and share similar interests.
One of the members already follows me back on bluesky. I really want to be friends with her, but I don't want to look desperate.
Only thing is that it's filled with normies. I'm not gonna mention my personal life at all, atleast until I know they won't judge me for being a neet.
Anyways, I hope I'll find a few people to befriend. I really just a group of girlfriends to talk and be affectionate with.
My dad doesn't understand it at all. He just says people aren't looking at you, they're minding their own business.
But I know that. I know my thoughts are irrational. It doesn't help.
I thought about comparing it to phobias and how most of them are irrational, but he doesn't understand that either. He also thinks that's stupid.
I don't know how else to explain it to him.
