I am fully aware that I don't do anything social anymore. I have not confidence and, when I go out, can't wait to leave. I no longer enjoy the company of others. I don't know if I really ever did. I was raised to be adult from the start and am not a very fun person. I don't understand modern people at all. They are so childlike and cruel.
I have no idea how to clean. My mother was depressed all the time and never cleaned. She would throw tantrums around the holidays when the house needed to be cleaned. Lately, I've been trying but procrastination is also a problem for me. So, I'm living my life but it feels like I have no idea whatsoever how to do it.

It's easy to do to get caught up in the shopping to give some sense of pleasure. I've started making sure I have receipts because after I get home with it I realize I didn't need it, or I really can't afford it, and I take it back. And that's okay because I had that little bit of pleasure just finding and buying it
I have a lot of my Dad's stuff here also that I'm just not ready to go through and get rid of. Last night I worked on some of it though. My weight goes up and down. I have size 12-2X in my closet. I want to keep a range of clothes in there but not what I have. There's things in there I haven't worn in years and I really need to get rid of them. I think I am going to start sorting through them by sizes first. Then I can pick out so many of each size and keep. Last beach trip I took 62 pairs of shorts, and that was just a fraction of what I truly have. There's no need for that. I know that
But knowing about it and doing something about is two different stories, right.
Anyway, cleaning...my theory is why dust? It only gets so deep and as soon as you dust it will be getting dirty all over again. Now if dust ever starts getting an inch deep...then I will worry about it
Life's short, don't look back and say I wish I had done this, or that, when there's no more time.
