One Sentence Rant
Something I have kind of sort of noticed about myself is that I seem to have a habit of asking someone for their permission before I do something, at the time, obviously, it seems to me that it is perfectly normal and logical, and that there is absolutely no abnormality linked to the fact that I seem to have picked up the very odd habit of always needing permission to do something before it is done; whether it is asking my mom if I can go see a movie with a friend, asking a teacher if I can go to the bathroom, or asking a friend if it is alright if I text them later; of course, let me explain that not all of these are necessarily a reason to concern, until I take into account the number of things I have not done because either someone else told me I should not, even though I thought I should, or I was too afraid to ask, and therefore deemed the activity of my choice unimportant no matter how important to me it actually was; also, please, allow me to add that this has also made it necessary for me to justify to myself everything I need to do, even if I am not asking for permission, which has caused me significant stress.
