Will I ever grow up? Please answer?

Anyone can master the bus. Really, this is a thing you can do, and it can open your world in terms of being able to go places, meet people, volunteer for a cause, and/or get to a job. So I'd make that a first priority.

Pick a place you'd like to go. Get online and determine the bus route to get there and back. Do you have to change buses? Pick a different destination, so your first ride's easy. Identify the nearest bus stop to your home and at your destination. How much is bus fare? Get that much in exact change, both directions.Is there a bus pass or card riders must use? Acquire one with the fare credited to it.

Then ride the bus. Walk around a little at your destination, then ride back. Now wasn't that easy, and not something to let scare you into hiding out at home?

Figure out places you could work. No need to aim high. All work is honorable, from fast food to retail, and both are hiring. How could you get there by bus? Apply at those places. Remember, too, that you can and should be able to walk from the nearest stop for a good twenty or thirty minutes, making places a mile or two from the stop reachable.

This is how people who want to change their lives do it. Small steps.

OMG

I Relate very much to this question at 18.

The first thing you need to do is have a game plan and do your research.

You need to understand that everyone goes through life at their own pace, everyone grows up some faster than others but its all generally at their own pace.

I would keep people who give constructive criticism closest to me if I was you and just ignore the people who bash and ridicule you, but don t really say anything to help you other than "GET A JOB" but don t tell you where you could apply for one or "YOURE LAZY" "YOURE NOTHING" but don t tell you how to overcome these feelings blah blah blah etc etc

This is how I went about

permit - public transportation - college/jobsearch/license

Im currently at the balancing finding a job, getting a license and college stage.

I would first if I was you familiarize yourself with public transportation around your area. Is it frequent? Is it not that frequent? Are there any bus stops by your area that take you to major hubs? How far and long do the busses go for.

As long as you live near a bus route that runs every 35 minutes to and hour you are fine and you will be able to use it and get some value out of it. You will be able to either commute to school or work with a bus route that runs every 35 minutes to an hour.

I would get some schedules for busses that are near you and read and study every single one. Ask your parent/gaurdian or a friend how far some areas are to you if you aren t sure.

After that I would do some soul searching. what is more important to you right now out of the three job schooling or car?

all three of these are really important things in life. and they require a lot of planning time and money.

getting a car is a very long and expensive process, school is just expensive, getting a job is not expensive process but its a long one and you can t give up easily.

You may want to think about community college, and you could go for a liberal arts degree until you decide fully what you want and are passionate about,

I used to be really socially awkward and quiet, being put on the spot is what made me snap out of that.

Turn your desperation and nervous energy in to powerful energy

the whole thing to succeeding in these areas yoou have problems in are to not give up and doubt yourself so much.

good luck!

"I don't socialize that much because I have social anxiety. Another reason why I find it hard to get a job."

You don't go to work to socialise, you go to get paid for doing a job. If you want to grow up and become independant, you need to get off your *** and find a job without coming here and asking others to justify it.

Im 19. Same thing.
