When I was a teen I liked skating and didn’t really care about what was going on in the community. A few years ago I was obsessed with gaming but I only really liked playing what I liked and still didn’t know much about any of it. Currently I’m into camping and roadtrips but idc anything except actually doing it. All my life I’ve always been interested in things but never on the level other people are so I’ve never been able to answer questions about my interest even tho I loved them and I’ve always just dropped stuff when I got my full and moved on to the next thing I thought seemed cool and lately it’s been making me wonder if everyone actually has something that’s “their thing”

So I enlisted when I was 21 and spent 6 years in the army before I got out last year. Before I joined I felt like a regular adult with normal responsibilities. Now after having to constantly ask for permission to do things, constantly reporting my whereabouts to my leaders, and basically getting treated like a kid I feel like I haven’t mentally aged since I joined. It almost feels like have way too much freedom and constantly feels like a kid stealing from the cookie jar lol. Anyone else feel like this or did I hit my head a few too many times?
