[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a long period of my life where I still needed financial support from my parents when most people my age didn't(through no fault of my own). I've finally managed to become self-supporting after a lot of hard work, but it now it seems as if most of my peers have moved on from supporting themselves to supporting themselves and their parents. I really feel I deserve a grace-period where I'm on the same level as my peers, even if it's just temporary. I'd like to have at-least till my mid-thirties. But now it seems as though[b] I'm always going to be one step behind my peers[/b].[/quote]

Accept it and move on. It is what it is.[/quote]

Do you know how much loser aspects I've already accepted about myself? I didn't graduate college until I was 22, while most of my friends graduated at 21. That was pretty difficult to swallow and accept, but I eventually did. I wasn't able to support myself until I was 28, while most of my friends launched between the ages of 18 and 24. That was also quite difficult to digest, but that I did too. I'm putting my foot down here. We all have our limits.[/quote]

Okay, don't accept it. "Put your foot down", whatever that means. You can live out your days not accepting it. Part of being an adult means accepting that other people just aren't that interested in how you feel.

I really think you would benefit from treatment for your anxiety disorder.
