My parents never gave a shit about what I do, as long as I delivered the bare minimum I needed, to be considered a functional kid. The same goes for my teachers, as long as I somehow passed the year nobody cared, that I do no schoolwork at all. As long as I didn't got bullied, nobody cared, that I also never socialised with the other kids. My childhood went by, so did my youth and my early 20s. Live happened, meanwhile I was rotting in my room in front of a screen.
I'm 25 now, far from finishing any degree or entering the workforce but at least my parents pay for my sorry ass and the only thing they want in return is, that I live somewhere on my own and don't be a nuisance. Great, isn't it?
I should be considered an adult now, yet all I've ever learned is to behave in a way, that I don't bother other people. This is the only behaviour I ever got rewarded for, so how can anyone have the audacity to expect me, to act, feel and think like an adult?
I'm writing this, because IT wants to shame us for "being mentally stuck in highschool" all the time and now I would like to know, where the maturity is supposed to come from? Mature behaviour isn't something that happens, when a witch is turned on on your 21st birthday. Humans are the product of their experiences and what do you expect me to be, when I never made any experience, at least none, that would include other people? Parents and teh general social surrounding of a child are expected to equip the child with the necessery skills, nobody would blame the child for not learning things on its own, when it doesn't have any opportunity to do so.
At what age then, is an adult responsible for his own life, when he never got the necessery tools to take responsibility?
Blaming incels for not being emotionally mature is sickening and despicable in such an arrogant and priggish way.
And yeah, even if, by biological processes I would have the ability to make up for the things I've missed out on... I don't want to live a live, in which I constantly pick up the crumbs of what could have been, always miles behind everyone else. All I want is to get back in the nice, cozy slumber of ignorance, when I thought ldaring and avoiding people, was normal.
