I don’t know how to be an adult.
Advertisements
All of the people I grew up with are moving on with their lives and have jobs and homes. I live with my boyfriend and his dad. I don’t have a job and I’m really struggling to figue out how to get one.
I tried to get a job at a petrol station but they never called back.. I’m trying to be as positive as I can but It’s hard..
I’m sure no one will see this but I just needed to vent.

- It sounds like your parents did a poor job of preparing you to be an adult. This just means you will have try harder to prepare yourself.
- But don’t forget that their are other people out there who can help. Find others who you admire, who are competent at what they do, and ask them for advice.
- Nobody knows how to adult, everyone out here is just faking it :)) Be kind to yourself and just keep trying, you’re doing great
- I loved your post. You have the world at your feet. I admit it’s hard to do it alone, but if you have a mentor it should be a piece of cake. It sounds like your boyfriend’s father has his head on his shoulders and perhaps he can help you. To get ahead you need two things. First is the desire and second is to ask for help. I see both in you and I am guessing you will go far in life. Best of luck. Ohhh and …..try hard….but be patient with yourself
- Im 30, never been on my own, no clue who to call to get water and electric turned on or off, I just work and pay bills with no extra money to save, living paycheck to paycheck. You learn when you learn.
- Hell I’m 35 and still don’t have this adulting thing figured out haha… good thing is pretty much everywhere is hiring right now so shouldn’t take long for you to get a job…try not to stress too much, everything will work out, good luck!
