My age says I'm an adult but sometimes I think other people know more about being an adult than me.

I've always felt like a kid and told myself I wouldn't grow up.

Still the same. I think having a somewhat traumatized childhood also makes you want to live as a child freely again.

Also not having kids helps. I can do anything I want and make my own schedule.

I never understood boring old people. Ill be doing projects and having adventures until im 80.

most people don't want or need projects and adventures. they want to relax and do nothing in their spare time.

And this is why i argue we cant have UBI, or most people wont do jack shit and the utilities will get shut down 😅

I have times where I want to be lazy. But it doesn't last long and then im on to the next thing. And I consider myself low energy compared to the shit I see my friends getting done!

i think people's need for social competition means UBI would be a wash really. as in it wouldn't really change much.

I want to sit on my ass and be unproductive

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

doing that makes me depressed and suicidal.

Being depressed and suicidal can be motivating, too!
