Mental torture

I am 39 years old. Little education no real work experience and married with child. Ive always been looked after and am scared all the time. Been told i dont have to work but feel so guilty ... ive barely ever lived and when people tell me to be happy i cant. Im beyond useless

  • For me it always seemed i was searching for a release from reaponsibility but not in a way of lol im smarter than you. More like please dont make me i find it all very stressful and i dont react or seem to see society properly. So while i can be a nice person i feel like its strange. Is it acceptable to live the life i need or is that entitlement

  • a single thought about working did not occur to me until I was 25

    1. It comes down to knowing ive always been a burden to the state. To others and on top of being 40 i feel like i saw life too innocently. I am some kind of work shy freak
  • it's probably a falsly installed in you belief

    Autistic Rebel in one of her latest videos captured that issue nicely,

    i don't think I could explain it 

    Shame comes from feeling like we’ve done something wrong, or we aren’t good enough. However, often, these feelings can be imposed on us by outside forces, that determine what “socially acceptable” is.

    If we go along with those beliefs to what “acceptable” is, then we are more vulnerable to shame.

    You have to believe that you’ve done something unacceptable to feel shame. When you feel you have done something, or as a person, you yourself, are unacceptable in some way, it can cause you to feel humiliated.
