Figuring out life

BakedPotato

Hi. My name is Jess, I'm 24 and I was diagnosed with Autism in 2012 after my dad passed away.

I'm trying really hard to be a semi successful adult, but I'm really struggling. What does it mean to 'work on yourself '? How are you supposed to figure out a passion or a purpose in your life? Also how do you figure out what kind of job you want?

Thanks for your time Heart

  • Just take a look at what kind of things you like, what kind of things interests you, what kind of skills you have, and what kind of skills you want to learn. I don't think many people know their purpose in life, but I believe that people can create their own purpose through the things they like to do. I mean like every area anyone's interested in, sometimes it's good and fun, and at other times it's a struggle and challenging, but what would you like to spend your time doing?
