I think you would annoy Russians just as fast.
I did – but not nearly as fast.
Most 11 year olds aren’t independent, that is correct. That is because they are children. And most people that reach 90 years of age have lost a degree of independence as well. That is because they’re freakin 90!
What does any of this have to do with Cyborg Citizen?
Neither Cyber Citizen nor his parents believe that Cyber Citizen can function independently.
But I bet the only reason you believe that is because your parents have been hammering it into your head for practically your entire life. I see your over-bearing, controlling parents being one of your biggest obstacles to a decent life. You need to find a way out from under their feet.
I prefer not to discuss my family. If I lived in Scandinavia, Canada, or Australia I would have become my own person and obtained welfare. In USA without my parents support I have nothing.
That’s a lofty goal.
Geez, c’mon man! Every damn subject that hits close to home gets a “I don’t want to talk about that” from you. WTF is the purpose of all these threads if you aren’t willing to even explore possibilities to improve your life? I’ve been giving you the benefit of the doubt and continued engaging with you. But Jeezus Christ man, you’re sucking the life right out of me…Thru my phone! Good luck with err thang. I’m out.
Professional therapists could not help me – I have seen them since '90. Effexor helps me a little. Could anyone help me? I was probably born under an unlucky horoscope.
I voted Very happy but I don’t know that I achieved many goals. I just keep moving the goalposts.
Good luck!
A recumbent exercise bike makes it really easy to read while you exercise.

I am very grateful to everyone who gives me psychic energy – yet I force no one to give it to me.
I’d like whatever PSYCHIC ENERGY I gave you back please.
It can not be given back.
If you could set a goal for what you’d like your life to look like in twelve months (being at least somewhat realistic - no bevvy of supermodels partying on your yacht), what would have changed?
-
I would finish writing two books – one composed of what I wrote online in Russian, another of what I wrote online in English. I will be working on my books at least 2.5 hours a week as I have since late August.
-
I will get a credit card account unknown to my parents – already prepaid with $80.
-
I will not slack on my internship.
-
I will learn more about computers – on SDMB the threads I started about computer antiviruses were the most productive ones.
Hahaha. It can be given back just as easily as it was given in the first place.
Ehh, if words on a screen from random strangers makes him feel special or popular, well that’s tragic but hey, whatever works.
For me, whether I’m happy or not depends on what time of year it is. From about mid-April to Labor Day I’m usually happy all of the time. From Early Fall through the Winter I’m so depressed I don’t want to get out of bed. It’s already started for me, I see everything outside withering and dying and I just want to sleep until May. I actually started crying writing this.
If I had the money to move somewhere warm, I could garden year round, wear my flip flops, take my dogs for walks on a nice warm nights, I would be so much happier. My mom and I wanted to be moved for this Fall. We own a house we can rent out, that would pay for our rent somewhere else. When it came time to get quotes for a moving van, our hopes were dashed. We could swing first, last and security somewhere, but the $2,000 for the moving van isn’t doable too. 
I’m happy as hell! Much of the time anyway. When I’m not happy as hell I’m contemplative, but I loop back to happy pretty quickly.
