Being sheltered with 0 independence as an adult sucks.
I (20) have absolutely no independence. I have no money, I have no bank account, I have no irl friends to reach out to for help. I was never allowed outside alone growing up, so I spent pretty much all of my childhood and teenage years indoors behind screens. I was raised by the internet, my entire life is the internet. It's all I have.
My mother always treated me like an extension of herself or completely ignored me with no in-between. All of my emotional needs have been neglected meaning I'm not diagnosed with any mental disorders even though I know my brain doesn't work right and I'm often unable to focus, acting outside the "norm", always having intrusive thoughts and traumatic memories etc.
I wish I could move out and become independent but I've been sheltered for so long that I don't want to do anything on my own half the time. I was never taught anything so I never want to work, make food, etc. I know it's a problem but at this point I'm too depressed to do anything about it, my only escape is endless daydreaming and fantasising. Even though I was often sheltered because I was the youngest and smallest (I'm somewhat like the runt of my family) my mother still treats me poorly, neglects my wants and needs and treats me as lesser than compared to my siblings.
I considered getting a dorm at college but I'm incapable of studying and learning as well because my mental state has gone unchecked for so many years, and even when I did get into a college my parents said they couldn't afford it so it was best not to go. It feels like there's no way out at all. Even if I did get away, I don't know the basics or how to live, I was never taught anything really. I wish I could just move away to be with my friends but they're all in different countries. Being sheltered and isolated from the world is the worst, it's like I don't even exist. It sucks.
