I'm 25 and don't feel ready for anything
I'm an adult now but have never had a job, never had a romantic relationship, and have very little adult experiences due to not going out much. I get extremely anxious when I think about time passing and the fact that I'm in my mid-twenties now.
Even though I know I should make myself get out there and make these things happen, I still don't feel ready. It's just exhausting. I'll always be behind people my own age when it comes to jobs and relationships. Jobs require experience and going into my first relationship this late makes me worry that I'll have no clue what I'm doing and it'll all fall apart.
Some people want to meet the love of their life straight away and others want to be with a few different people before settling down, and I feel like at my age, I can't date a lot of different people because in a few years, I'll be in my thirties.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom they could share? I know it's not true for all autistic people, but I find it so hard to navigate life with the issues I have. I feel so lost.
