Yeah, 2021 has been a pivotal year for me too. I learned (and am still learning) a lot about myself that I kind of always knew but kept listening to other people too much. My family is not supportive (mainly my dad) of me moving out and taking care of my life and living it the way I want to live it. He won't let me be responsible for myself, and I'm still living in this toxic environment which keeps getting worse while my mental health and well being is improving.
How is that possible? Anyway, I've made progress with money but am still struggling. He has tried to help, but he wants to do too much that I don't need him to do while he won't help me with basic things. I've given up on him and just started living how I want to live. In the coming year, (or next year) I'm moving out one way or another! Then, I'll be rid of all of them.
I have a job now, and I don't dare discuss any of this with them. I've come close to doing that, but I'm glad I didn't. I did do that in the past, and that turned out horrible for me. I feel like I'm doing better now than I ever have and am getting quite an awareness of the world around me I never had. I'm not the same person I was when this year started. I don't know how things changed, but they did.
Maybe it was my new job, but it was a combination of a lot of things that made me clean up my whole act. I got new clothes and a whole new look now. I've opened a whole new chapter in my life now after years of going nowhere. Throughout my life, I attempted to do this but failed. This time, I feel like it's going to work out in 2022 and in the coming years as I'm approaching 40 years old.
Better late than never. Personally, I don't think I look 40 at all! I look like I'm in my 20s and come across that way to people too. I actually like myself now and am happier being alone and away from all the haters. I don't hate anymore either on people. I just don't care. I'll listen to there problems but only so much. Not everybody has the willpower I have. Some do, but those people are few and far between. You sound like you do somewhat.
At least you recognize the year was bad for you and are realistic about your situation. Most people are too delusional to see how bad their life really is. I hope your life is not like that and pray 2022 is better for you, me, and a lot of the other people who have responded to your thread. Sorry this response is so long, but I haven't posted on here in over a year, and those posts weren't good to say the least! I just hope this one is. I hope this one doesn't come across as cringe and needy as those threads were.
