Children who grew up teaching themselves because nobody had time to teach them often become adults who are extraordinarily competent and quietly resentful - Lemmy.World

Does anyone else see themselves in this article?

We’re not all resentful, we just hate the people who refuse to advance themselves and adhere to some level of learned helplessness as their nominal state

When I date I meet women who are almost 40 who are still dependent on their elderly parents for basic adult shit, including paying basic bills like rent and food.

It’s pathetic. These people have good jobs too, they are just leeches.

Man… maybe that’s why a lot of dates feel like a job interview these days.
Those are people who looking for an employee instead of a relationship and think they are the ‘boss’ of the relationship.
