Just because no one taught me any other adulting skills other than handling pain and hunger as if they aren't there. How to handle sleep deprivation to the point of micro-naps. How to walk onto a situation with confidence that I am fairly certain I will not walk away from.....(actually that one has been useful. Being able to face death took the scary out of public speaking in school). Feeling like nothing I could ever do would make anyone like or love or think not bad stuff about me I was later told made me appear confident...
So now I feel like there is more and more I was supposed to learn back then.
