So, my cousin and his girlfriend were downstairs and I joined them and started talking. Somehow, this conversation turned toward the topic of paying bills and whatnot. My cousin’s girlfriend told me that “I don’t know how real life works” and that I need to know how to be a real adult. She said that me not having a license is very concerning and that I lack masculinity and if I had a kid, I wouldn’t be able to teach it how to be a man because I lack those qualities.
Then she said I need to know what it’s like to pay bills because that’s what being an adult is. I DO HAVE BILLS. I help with rent and I pay my phone. I then argued that life isn’t all about paying bills. If that’s what life is then kill me. The social construct of “life” is built around this idea that in order to be a respectable adult you must pay a lot of bills and be an “adult” with knowledge on how to solve car issues, be assertive, etc.
But, I’m not the regular adult. I was never raised that way. I have more feminine qualities because I wasn’t show a lot. I was always alone and thus don’t know much about “the real world”. I may seem detached, selfish, narcissistic or autistic, but I only know about making myself happy. I see life like this; do what you want, when you want, how you want. If I am paying bills and being this typical “mechanic” man who is fixing his car outside all day, then I won’t be happy.
I don’t care about bills. I don’t care about being a man or an adult. I feel like I never grew up. I still feel like a child. When around other kids, I feel like i am one of them. I enjoy toys, video games, etc.
I don’t care about adult stuff. I care about what makes me happy. I care about what I look like. I care about how others perceive me. But I don’t care at the same time
