it hurt like hell!! My entire shin was gushing blood

Was it gushing or was it bleeding just a little bit... Gushing to me means that you would hit an artery and it would be squirting out

Okay not gushing but not a little lol it was a big huge scrape/abrasion up my entire leg though. Our driveway is very rough/old asphalt so pretty sharp/painful and also at the time we had gravel at the top of it. I completely ate shit onto all the sharp rocks lol I don’t remember how much it was bleeding exactly but it hurt like hell and, admittedly, I was sobbing and hyperventilating after I came in. even the dog was highly concerned. there was definitely a lot of blood and dirt though aha

It wasn’t just like a little tiny scrape, it was a huge one up the whole front of my leg and knee and everything.

When you got hurt as a kid did everyone run to you a make it a huge thing?

I'm just wondering because my oldest I never made a big deal out of him being hurt and now when he gets hurt he doesn't care.

My youngest is the type that doesn't care either.

When I was a kid everyone coddled me when I got hurt so I was always panicked about when I'd bleed. Now I'm not like that.

true but what do I do after that?

Honestly I want to go outside more because we have a nice piece of property and lots of places to walk around here and I should be taking advantage of it but I hate bugs and sweating and heat and stuff and in winter I hate the cold I do love being out there though so I should try to get out more. But honestly I get bored after just a few minutes watching the chickens now. and get bored (and/or frustrated) when I try to read. I think I’m so used to the phone and TV and all the constant stimulation from that that anything else is boring now. I should really try to work on that though haha

And yeah I hate cold! It feels like it goes through to the bones.

And oh fun!!

What most adults do is have a purpose in life, family and jobs come to mind.... until they get enough money saved or too old to be working.

I don’t remember but maybe? Probably. My mom freaks out about everything haha

But honestly I normally don’t care when I get hurt either. Over the summer I dropped a log on my arm and got a scrape/cut then too and now have a huge scar from it up my forearm but I didn’t run inside screaming then or anything. Just washed it calmly. And didn’t freak when I got bit by Franklin. I know I posted it here but was only worried about him. I didn’t even care that I got bit. Just washed it then walked them both all the way back home.

I don’t always freak out but even if I did, I’m not really sure how this is relevant? Or why I have to justify/state exactly how much I was bleeding and how big the scrape was or whatever for my fear of bees to be justified. I mean, if somebody was bitten by a dog or attacked by a shark or whatever and became fearful of dogs or sharks, I’m pretty sure nobody would laugh or say “oh why are you afraid of dogs!? They’re so fluffy and cute that’s ridiculous” or whatever or at least I would hope not..

Granted, the bee thing probably is a bit ridiculous and I do have anxiety so I probably did freak out a bit more than most but even so, it hurt really bad, and it was pretty traumatic at the time, as ridiculous as that might sound, and clearly still somewhat is since I still remember it years later.

Maybe I shouldnt but I do. And yeah, I’m now a little bit more scared of bees/wasps/flying bugs because of it. So what?

Touché

But I’m nowhere ready for kids yet and I also really do not want to be doing some office job till I die.

But maybe I just need to find something interesting for me

Any job is better than no job

I took whatever was available to get a work history and money. When better jobs opened up I switched jobs... pretty hard to start at a job everyone wants with no work history. Most people have to start at the bottom and work their way up

Not for me though necessarily cause I don’t want to just be stuck doing something I hate just to say I have a job.

Yeah that makes sense and I wasn’t saying I wanted to just start at the top or whatever but I also just hate the whole idea of it. The whole work till you die at a job you hate, marry, have kids, die thing has always been weird to me. That and working for somebody else. I do happen to eventually want kids but a lot of people don’t now but I do. But I don’t want to work for somebody else my entire life.

I want to start a pet sitting business, or better yet, a dog training and/or boarding business. And buy enough land to have all my animals. Then maybe I’ll have kids or maybe I’ll marry first then buy the land, idk. But I do know I want to start my own business and not just stick to the rules or conventional way or whatever.

But that said, I’m not saying I’m not gonna work at all. I’ll find some crappy retail job or something in the meantime to pay for it all but it’s not gonna be permanent and I have zero desire to move to some office job.

But idk, maybe not all jobs are office jobs. Maybe I could be an animal trainer for somebody else? That might not be so bad. I haven’t looked into it much. But I don’t want some boring stupid thing. But I need to get a retail job or something in the meantime while I figure it all out.

Seriously? How would you know whether a certain type of job is "boring" or "crappy" or "pointless" when you have never had one? I have never had a job that was pointless. Every job provides you with valuable experience and teaches you something new.
