Is anyone else just angry that you're forced to have a full-time job that you're horribly anxious about while other people have an "out"?

Posts like this make me wish I'd never joined Reddit in the first place, and make me want to just isolate myself from the world even more than I already do. I mean, the last thing I want is for people to feel jealous of me, especially since my life isn't nearly as good as you may think it is.

It's true that I "have an out" by still living with my parents at my age (I'm almost 28), but the main reason why I still live with my parents is because I have Asperger's Syndrome, and that causes me to be so debilitated that I can't live an independent life. In fact, here's a list of some of the ways my Asperger's Syndrome debilitates me:

  • It makes me incredibly quick to rage
  • It makes me an unsafe driver, since I can't do the multi-tasking involved in driving, and I have an incredibly short attention span, which makes it hard for me to keep my focus on the road
  • It causes me to have bad fine motor skills (which impairs my ability to do my hair or wear makeup)
  • It causes me to need to base my life around a rigid set of routines and habits, and if I deviate from those routines, I get anxious
  • It causes me to be really sensitive to the textures of clothing, which makes it hard for me to be stylish at all (these days, I tend to wear jeans, a t-shirt or long-sleeved shirt, and a sweatshirt or jacket)

So, tell me, /u/ProblemsHelp, do you still wish you were me? Not to mention that living with your parents at age 28 isn't exactly societally acceptable. I feel so embarrassed that I still live with my parents at this age, and I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to move out. I also feel like it's nearly impossible for me to make friends, since I'm afraid that people will judge me the exact way that you just did. So thank you so much for proving that fear of mine true. I hope you're happy that you just convinced me even further that I shouldn't try to make friends.

I cannot explain how angry this post has made me. I want to say so many horrible things to you, /u/ProblemsHelp (and no, that's not just my Asperger's Syndrome talking, it's me being genuinely offended by what you said), but I don't want to get banned from this forum, so I'll just leave it at this: You should really consider others' feelings before you make a post.
