So I know that since I’m young I probably shouldn’t be making assumptions about how my life is gonna be, but considering everything I know about myself, I’m almost 100% sure of how things are gonna go. Since I’m almost 16, my mom told me that this summer I should go work at the restaurant my dad works in so I can get some extra cash. I said no and my mom assumed it’s because I’m “lazy”, but in reality I just know I’m gonna suck at it and that I’m gonna embarrass myself.

I’m not good at following instructions, for example, someone will ask me to “get a dish from the counter” and I’ll spend eternity trying to figure out what the hell they mean. Not to mention, I’d have to deal with customer service, and having to chat with strangers makes me want to cry, so I know I’d be suffering throughout the entirety of it. Apart from that, I’m very bad at productivity, so I know that at the second day of work I’d pretend to be sick and stay home.

Overall, I’m not sure how I’m gonna survive in the world since I can’t even handle part time jobs. My bosses will probably get annoyed at me and fire me. I don’t know how I’m going to make it once I become an adult, and frankly, it scares me. I can barely handle school, let alone real life work. I’m not sure if this is related to my Asperger’s or if I’m just a disappointment.
