I had multiple times where I was on the cusp of getting into a friend group, getting my license, etc, basically getting a life outside of rotting by myself in my room, only to fall short right on the edge due to acting autistic, being ugly, being afraid, being lazy, being neglected, family issues, etc
I had so many opportunities I could've taken. But I didn't. Because of the mental state I was given by the universe.
It hurts when I realize I kind of had the opportunity to take a different path at 16 where I could've at least tried to have a social life, back when my social skills weren't as atrophied from just utter isolation. I think I could be an unrecognizable person by now if I had done the right thing instead of the easy thing.
I never started doing anything because in my depression I felt like it would always be as difficult as it is in the beginning. Which isn't true at all. Momentum builds both with success and failure. I wish I knew that. And I wish I didn't have such a strong ego that I was so afraid of a little embarrassment.
