Emotional
I'll be 21 and a week and I still get emotional over the simplest things. I also still cry a lot and it takes me a while to get calm. So, I was thinking maybe I should see a counslor b/c I have more stuff wroug with me and nobody at my house really listens to me, instead they just yell..really lound

I would like to go to college and live on campus. I heard that living on campus helps you delope. But whhen I ask my dad, he said its too much money or turns it on the fact that I have a little disability and says I can't do it. But I want to try.
Good for you, to want to do that
Many a person has some form of disability even me. But, we all succeed because we try everything in life, that we feel we can achieve.
Perhaps they can't really afford it, but don't allow anyone to make you believe you can't do something because, I'm a strong believer that, that word does not exist..
Can you obtain a part time job somewhere and pay for the tuition?
It sounds that all the yelling at home is something that is disrupting your life and so, in addition college sounds good for peace of your mind...
Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
I been trying to get a part timee job but the ecomic sucks and I get the nervous around people, so I always blow the interviews. So far, I only had volunteer jobs and held one job, job over the winter season.
Volunteer jobs are great, and so are "temp" jobs for the reason that, if they like you enough, they'll hire YOU full-time over other applicants. I myself am going to apply for "temp" jobs in a couple of weeks.
As CW says, many people have some disability or other, and oftentimes it only matters if they let it.
Sounds like your dad is a bit pessimistic and against you moving forward in life, which is something I can't understand. Why don't you enroll in a community college - there you can get your "base" requirements done in a couple of years but it'll be SUPER cheap. Then if you wanted you could transfer to a different college.
To get over being uncomfortable around people, the only thing you CAN do is actually BE around people, as much as you can. It gets easier pretty quickly!
Thanks, I'll going out side more, and its great b/c I like next to Salem State college and I always wanted to try to talk to a college guy.
There are a lot of programs in colleges that include living on campus. If your parents are paying for college, which I'm assuming they are, try to find some of these programs and show them. That will show them your dedication and willingness to help. That being said, be grateful they are even helping you. Some people, like me, have to separate their semesters and take time off just to survive because no one helps them.
As for a job, The Man is screwing us all for sure. Again, many campuses offer jobs within the school. Go talk to the admissions office or just look on their website. Some of the jobs even benefit your school career.
Your early 20s are hard. You are trying to figure life out as an adult for the first time. It is normal to be emotional, everything you knew is changing. I highly recommend talking with a counselor/therapist (which again, some schools provide this service); it does not mean there is anything wrong with you, you just need a little extra help.
Parents can only help so much; a therapist is good cause they can give constructive non-biased advice and help.
Hang in there, we all figure it out eventually.
Vivre bien
