Haa.. way too ahead of the times for me, Mr. Blonde. Now ancient aliens :D
I'm more worried that my son will actually make it to another State or something and I wont be able to financially rescue him (i.e. bring him home).

I searched this topic because I have been experiencing great stress lately and having difficulties learning how to cope. Instead of being rude and bashing the originator's post, you offered real advice. :) Very kind of you! :) It is nice to see a forum that can support people who do not necessarily feel comfortable with others. (I also believe that there are many with closed minds who lack tact and courtesy who claim to be outgoing)
I find it incredible that people actually search or coincidentally find a thread that they completely disagree with just to belittle or bash them, instead of walking away or offering wisdom. I find that many people who act like "people=persons" are really judgmental and demanding and have no problems with telling others off for not agreeing with their beliefs.. so, you are not completely alone. :)
I started to realize that I couldn't stand people (those who disagree I don't care how rude you get,.. kay??? Thanks!) after having several jobs. The people were the same as those who bash you here on the thread: loud, close-minded, and pushy.. all in the name of being gregarious. I, then, started to realize that I had to learn to cope with the stress, ignore the pettiness, focus on bettering myself, meditate more, cutting out the mean & rude people in my life, starting doing more of what makes me happy, and find work that best suits my needs.
If you wish to earn a living, unfortunately, you have to have contact with others. The trick to learning to be happy. :) And to be happier is to find a job, country, living environment, etc. that best suits yours needs. Living like a hermit is possible but will be difficult.. You need to find some more peace and relaxation in your life whether you choose to live alone or continue to stay. It'll take practice but you will have a more fulfilling live if you do. :)
If you wish to live off the land and be more at one with nature instead of the hustle and pushy life of society than you can research: "homesteading." I think you should start slowly, however. Try working on a farm where the focus shifts more from the constant intake of the needs of millions of people to the needs of the farm. It changes your lifestyle and focus. You can have fewer contact with people, more with animals and nature. :) Running off into the forest is dangerous, really difficult, and works for people with plenty of survival skills. If you don't want to work on a farm, try to find a job that deals with animals or plants more than humans; but like I mentioned, all jobs have contact with some people. Not all people are bad, you just have to find them. :)
Keep us posted, okay? :)
Original poster!!! I wanted to tell you about a couple books I love! :) I had it for a college class and it has helped me greatly. :) I hope you check them out:
"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"...and the teen version.. by Dr. Richard Carlson. You can find it on Amazon used for a really good price. :)
