So I should have posted earlier, sorry. I guess I was kind of worn out from a long day that seemed to just be filled with endless amounts of paperwork. Good news is that I managed to do some self-advocacy, which is definitely something. Bad news is that I worry I messed things up at the job interview and I won't get that job. Though another bit of good news is that considering there's a lot of stuff I like, I might have some room for different jobs.

Also, I kind of realized more issues with my mom. She's pretty good at the whole criticizing thing -- mostly when she thinks I made some sort of social error or whatever (I'm on the autistic spectrum, so sometimes basic social interaction can be a bit like a minefield to navigate through), sometimes warranted, sometimes not so warranted. Honestly, even if my initial worries about her are incorrect, we still have a ton of issues, including her talent for (I don't know if it's intentional or just a mom screwing up sometimes) making me feel like a jerk. (Or maybe I'm making myself feel like a jerk. Who knows? *Shrugs*) I think it's contributed to my monitoring my words a lot (emphasis on "contributed" because I think there's other factors involved) because I worry about just mucking up everything. But maybe I can talk about it somewhere else. Point is, I think we might actually be fighting less once I move out. It'll be good for everybody.
