Why Am I Like This: 31 Relatable Posts About Not Being a Fully-Functional Member of Society

Here is my theory: right before I was born, there was a meeting of my entire generation where the creator of the universe sat everyone down and explained in very simple terms how to manage your life. I have no idea what I was doing at the time, but I know I missed that meeting. Everyone got the illustrated guide filled with pro-tips about how to manage life, and I was probably off somewhere (along with some of you guys) doing something less constructive.

And now I'm just going along day by day, trying to fake being a fully functioning member of society, while in reality, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Anyway, if someone out there wants to maybe send me a PDF of that guide you got, I will happily accept it but then will probably forget to read it or somehow get locked out of my mailbox and forever stay in this state of dysfunction.

    I once realized I was giving someone the wrong directions while I was giving him the directions, but I just kept on talking, hoping he will blame himself for not correctly remembering my instructions
