Compare oneself to others because when I was in school there were guys 6 foot tall at the age of 13. I was 18 before I got to 6ft. There were guys going around with stubble at 14. I was 20 before I started shaving. There were guys with girlfriends and I’m assuming active at 15. I was 24 before I got a girlfriend and 28 before I was active with women plural. One should never compare oneself….

Yeah, plus you never know what’s going on in other people’s heads or homes. Quite a lot of the people I grew up with lost their parents already, I still have mine. Or who knows if they underwent abuse?
I still struggle, I confess, with jealousy for people that escape this scumbag hellhole prison state I’m in. I realize now that at the end of high school was the time to do it. I knew people who went off to college and never returned.
I mean, crisis line reminded me that it could be worse, and I agree…. there are worse places…. but there are better ones too.
