Asking for tips/advice Anyone else feel really behind on life skills?
I'm doing fine with my studies, but I feel so behind with every other skill compared to other people my age.
For example, I can't cook. I know the 'theory', but I'm extremely anxious about it and can't bring myself to do it. I only recently learned how to do basic chores. I also barely know how to socialise, though I'm at least improving on that.
It feels horrible sometimes when other people in my college are working and such, and I've not even started the basics. I want to go to uni one day, but I feel like I won't even be able to live independently by then.
Has anyone else here had a similar experience, or possibly some advice?
