Adults of Reddit, what is something you assumed would just automatically happen as life went on but now you realize is actually a lot of work and often doesn't happen?

I’m abnormal is most ways for everyone I’ve met.

1) I dislike junk food, grease, soda, and desert.

2) My primary goal in life is to find either a person or robot that satisfies my craving for skinship.

3) I don’t think life is sacred and am just waiting to die. Like, my life plan is to become an engineer, work until I qualify for retirement, and then look into suicide if I haven’t found something better to live for.

4) I learn faster than most people I’ve met even while in college.

5) Looks matter less to me than seemingly most people. I’ve honestly gone entire days without knowing what I look like and I almost never remember what others look like.

6) My interest is very on/off. I’ve dropped everything someone has ever thought I was addicted to. I just find something else and move on. Unless I actually say I’m committed, people have come to expect me to just show random bouts of interest.

7) My emotional scale is 3-7. Never negative enough to cry or hate, never positive enough to love or cheer. Apathy is almost a state of life for me.

8) I’m also 6’5” and can’t seem to gain weight no matter how much I eat, likely due to #1.
