Today I heard about rehab for "Failure to Launch Syndrome"

Postby nothingscathartic » Fri May 31, 2019 7:01 pm

I got recommended a youtube video for it. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say the name of the company or anything. It advertized a rehab facility specifically for people in their 20, 30's, and beyond who can't get a job, can't hold down a job, can't get a life, can't get their own place or live away from their parents, have emotional problems and social issues. Also, it's specifically for guys.

As someone who is not a guy...but for whom this category fits really, really well...it was really interesting to see that this exists. My path to financial autonomy was very long and very very hard won. I felt like I didn't have enough help. My parents were misguided and unable to help me. I spent a lot of time in school and in college, which didn't do it. And I think...for all the EXPENSE put into me...I could have used a rehab. God only knows how much it costs, but even so, I'm sure it would be less expensive than all the school I received. I didn't get special help or anything in K-12 because I was a good student, and didn't break the rules except that I didn't participate enough.

I feel a little bitter, but at the same time I don't like the idea of being such a nuisance and so high maintenance that to get the main things for happiness in life--connection, autonomy...intimate relationships...that I'd need some huge expensive intervention. And that the only way I can have these things is that there's a market for this kind of service. And that this is only legitimized as a real problem for males.
