Thanks, IsoM. You're idea about listing already-accomplished goals is great! Breaking them down in long/mid/short-term also makes a lot of sense (and will hopefully prevent ADD self-sabotage, if I can dodge the wooden shoes).
I am 20. I don't know how "old" I feel anymore. I think that I've experienced quite a lot thus far, probably more than many people twice my age. I grew up way too fast, maybe it'll be easier now that my chronological age is closer to my emotional age.
> Use them time to travel, if you can. If you can't (like me, limited finances), read & explore other cultures, lands, peoples, viewpoints, go to ethnic restaurants, stores, & shops, museums, etc. develop yourself to the full.
I love doing this stuff; unfortunately it's hard to do in the suburbs. I want to travel, but I really can't afford it. I think one of my goals should be to make enough money to travel Europe, stay at hostels, ride the trains, and just explore.
> The best way you can develop coping skils is to be around other people. You don't necessarily have to interact with them, but you can just observe & reflect on other's actions & reactions.
Again, I love doing this, but only when I'm somewhere else. It's possible that some of my problems are caused, or at least made worse by the kinds of people in my area... a total lack of culture. The only way I'm going to find interesting people is to push myself to look for them... maybe I should make that a goal.
