Why is everybody else fine with going down the "normal" route? I don't want anything. I don't want any part of this. Is there something wrong with me?

What "normal" route? Everything is getting crazier than fuck

I know. But I'm saying in general, about the shit I keep hearing and have been hearing "chase your dream" , "get married". What dream !? I honestly don't have one, nor do I want one.

People still say shit like that? You got to be kidding me. Don't they watch the news?

They do.. I hear it almost everyday. My parents even tell me to give them grandkids, apparently I owe it to them.

Are your parents unaware of rampant disease, dwindling freshwater supply, global warming, burgeoning overpopulation, billions living in filth and squalor and the impending nuclear holocaust?

They're aware, but they don't care. I have tried to explain and make them see reason but it's like drawing on water. Also, according to them 24 is too young to decide not to have kids (but my 19 year old classmate wasn't too young to decide to have a kid)

Just ignore your parents. They are silly.

Yeah. I usually do. I'm already struggling, so somedays it's hard.

My parents used to beat me black and blue and scream at me. That's when I suspected they didn't know what they were talking about. I left home at 18 yrs old. Lived on people's couches and in abandoned old buildings. It was better than living with them.
I think it was a good thing. Made me very resilient and self reliant. I wasn't looking for pity. Just trying to relate that I had problems with my parents, too. I haven't seen them in years. Don't care what nonsense they have to say.
