it’s like i am literally never going to own a house or find authentic love or escape the clutches of late stage capitalism so really what am i living for
How I sleep knowing I am not responsible for the version of me in people’s heads
So long as I give people the benefit of the doubt, always act with grace, mind my own business, put effort into clarifying miscommunication, breathe my way through negative feelings, try the best I can, move w accordance to my values, and consider people’s emotions, I know I have nothing to worry about. I strive to never wrong anyone bc I am so firm on not being that person. And I will continue to be firm on it and that will ground me and I’ll always be okay

Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven’t lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn’t matter. It’s okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.
That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you’re struggling with, and it’ll come up with what you need + other related how-to’s:)
If you’re having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:
It’s also perfectly okay if these don’t help or aren’t appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.
Also if the reason you don’t know is developmental , intelectual or learning disabilities making you struggle even if you’ve been taught a bunch of times , you are so cool and awesome too :^) [smiley face ]
