Occasionally on my days off I realise that I haven't had any contact with anyone all day and I didn't even notice.
Hah. I have a feeling I wouldn't notice for at least a week or so.:P
Looks like we really have a LOT in common. *headshake* My parents helped me massively too - I was pretty much still living off them when I was 33. *hangs head in shame* Not because I wanted to, but because I couldn't seem to be able to find a job that would support me in my home country, and had to start over as an immigrant (of course, my parents paid all the bureaucratic expenses associated with that as well). So now that I'm finally earning my own keep - sort of - I cringe at the thought of asking them for help again. I mean, I do have some dignity left... LOL. But I feel like I totally fail at life, and it is beyond me how most people my age manage to support not only themselves, but multiple children sometimes. If I had to worry about someone who was financially dependent on me, I would probably shoot myself. *mirthless laugh*
