Anyone else feel confused?

[CoolGuy9]

I went to this school where I had a really hard time learning anything. Even the most basic information that a child could understand was beyond me. I now officially have an education, but really I learned nothing. Now I'm expected to get a job, because staying in my parents house doing nothing isn't that good.

I don't want to stay here, because I feel so useless, but the problem is that I don't want to get a job, because I'll be known as the retard at my job. I honestly have no clue how to even get a job. Everything about the whole process just confuses me. Trying to learn anything new, trying to accomplish something with my life, trying to make friends just confuses me and I have no clue how to deal with this. I can't ask for help, because they'll just say that I'm young and I'll understand eventually. Anyone else feel the same way or does anyone else have any tips on how to be normal?

Yes I felt that way when I was a little younger. I had no idea how to go about finding a job and didn't really have anyone around me who seemed willing to help.

If you've never had a job before then what you need is someone who can get your foot in the door somewhere. You have no hope of finding a job through applications if you have no experience anywhere.

As for being normal, I have no advice to give you.

CoolGuy9, I feel confused most of the time. It's okay! And so is being the new person at a job we don't know how to do yet.

Can you think of something you'd enjoy doing? Is there some job someone in your family or among your friends has that looks okay to you? Have you talked with any job agencies, or any organizations for people with learning disabilities?

@CoolGuy9 maybe you suffered some form of Dyslexia (learning disorder) like me?

Yeah I'm always confused. Have no clue how to have friends/socialize either. Only reason I have a job is cause of my dad. He hired me.

My life is confusing. Half the time I can't remember shit from yesterday, and most of the time I can't remember what I walked into the other room for.

I can sit here and think if something, and no more than 3 seconds later I can't remember wh........ What was I talking about?

I'd say living with my sister can be somehow be compared to living with parents, I feel useless too , and often confused on almost everything, I'm complete trash at my job and often wondering why aren't they firing me already.. I was fired about 7 times from jobs and left 2 times on my own, my boss though I was on drugs but I was just so stupid I couldn't focus on simple tasks like stocking shelves, getting job is fucking hard and i got very lucky i was hired at this hotel I'm working right now, got a call second day and now I'm working as houseman

Most jobs if you'll be seeking online are requiring resume, and job history is important I believe, you can try get some simple job like janitor or cashier if you aren't afraid communicating and putting on smile, or just work on amazon mechanical turk, I've heard people make living working on it, think about what your skills are and what you'll be comfortable doing, if you've bike and living in big city you can deliver food and it's easy to get in, (postmates, uber )

I don't have any tips on how to be normal as I don't know what it feels like to be normal but I guess it's okay to be who you're, I think nobody's normal..

I do have an interest in programming, but I feel like I'm too retarded to learn how to do it. Haven't talked to anyone about learning disabilities. I don't know if I have a disability, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I probably do.

This site is great, because irl I see people always doing better than me, and I feel like a retard and all I can do is hide those feelings, but in here I can expose myself and not feel so alone.

I'd look into what organizations near you (and/or on line) can offer. If you don't qualify they can steer you to others who can help. And all the best people are confused. It's okay. You can quote me. 8]

The problem is that I don't have any skills. Even something as basic as cashier or janitor seem like something I would fuck up. I don't know what it's called in English, but in school we had to get a job for 2 weeks and I worked at this small little store. Even there I did badly. Ofcourse I couldn't fuck up much, because I just had to put products in the shells, so that was nice.

I'm getting help for my mental illnesses so I will also figure out why I can't understand anything simple that way.

Yes, I have cognitive issues from years of psychotropic drugs, DP/DR and a failed attempt. Luckily, it didn't start until after I graduated highschool. I never would have been able to graduate if I was like how I am now. I know that I will never be able to have a job or go to college, even if I wanted to, because I can barely function and have problems taking care of myself.

I have no idea how to be "normal" because even before I became this way, I wasn't.
