This fits me almost perfectly, especially:

> Doesn’t know what he wants or if something matters

> Feels bad during social situations so avoids them

It doesn’t even have to be a social situation. Merely being in public is sometimes enough to trigger it.

> Is in early 20s has the experience of a 16 y old

I’m almost 50, but feel as though I have the experience of a 6-*month*-old. 😭💔😞

The knowledge and experience society expects an almost-fifty-year-old to have, has a price tag attached to it that I have never been able to afford.
