I feel you. I used to be a lot more independent before I took up online schooling and working from home. For nearly 3 years, from 2011-2014, I would be out all day long! And, I loved it! I worked a normal 9-5 schedule, then I had classes all evening. Today, that's kind of unheard of. I feel like now I just don't have the motivation to go out because I'm not used to it anymore. I am definitely developing a sense of reliance, but I'm trying to break it.
I mentioned briefly that someone tried to break into our apartment earlier this year. I became so paranoid -- not wanting to go anywhere without my husband. As for my Mom, she really reinforced that sense of danger and lack of safety. She prefers I don't go places alone Lol
Slowly I'm starting to develop that sense of independence again. I go out a lot by myself, even if that means simply running errands, buying groceries, going shopping by myself (which I prefer because I hate being rushed and I like taking my time to score deals Lol)
Getting an ID, or doing anything government related is SUCH A DRAG, isn't it? You know you'll be spending all day waiting in line, twiddling your thumbs -- kind of makes sense people avoid it.
But, as you said, it;s good to get out of the house. It's important to be involved. Be a productive member of society.
Good luck w/ Burger King!
I applied for a handful of entry lvl writing/editing gigs. No luck.
Was browsing office assistant/office admin, stuff of that nature, and surprisingly, it's slim picking. You'd think, with all these damn skyscraper office buildings, there would be an abundance of jobs. This is really the only substantial experience I have (about 3 years). I've got job experience in other areas, but nothing that I feel will land me a steady job.
