Question for unemployed people. Did you have an angry parent?

Just wondering.

I've never been employed and have very serious mental health issues.

When I was a child my dad would blow up in rage and drama whenever anything surprised him in the house or an accident happened. This made me afraid to interact with people and affected my learning.

Anyone else think something similar happened to them?

Because it strikes me some Autistic people are a lot more successful, and I am fairly sure the reason is they had more savvy/better parents.

  • my dad was always angry and stuff, explodes over anything and gets stressy. i was unemployed up unemployed most life up until recently. parents always at first was forceful about tryna push me into work, but obviously if you try force someone to do one thing you will only get resistance, a person must find their own path or else they will resist any force... this is common sense, always were there is force to push a thing one way there is equal resistance the other way and thats probably why i naturally ended up not working for long time. plus i didnt see much point anyway, to work you must have something to work for, and i didnt have much of a life so i didnt see the point. why work when you have nothing to work for? but then when you do have something to work for like a life and social life and so on, then your work dominates and you end up losing your life to work anyway haha

    in the end it took time but i naturally got a job in my own time when it felt right for me. probably could have been alot earlier if there wasnt any force one way or the other.
