Difficult. I've been raised in a abusive childhood with toxic parents (abusive father with alcolism and narcistic mother), bad school and enviroment. Now my life has improved some bit. But there will be a time I have to choose for myself, which will mean I have to sacrafice the bond with everyone I love + my friends to pursue my goals & dreams. I have been a people-pleaser all my life, I had to sacrafice myself and my wellbeing to help others. Like some sort of slave or therapist for others. This became that much that in 2018 i've been at my lowest point in life and still had to be a people-pleaser for others, while I almost collasped both physically and mentally to the point I drank a lot of alcohol and wanted to unalive myself almost daily to get rid of the pain. This is also because in my childhood, my sister struggled a lot with depression + unaliving herself so much that I was on survivalmode almost 24/7 and had to surpress my own feelings because I wasn't allowed to show feelings or even talk about it. It was taboo to talk about mental-health till two years ago in 2021 when my sister died. But even then I had a hard time showing feelings because I still had to be a people-pleaser for others to the point that when I was grieving, one of my ex-friends went angry for not responding to his chats and started spamming me. This made me realize how messed-up people are, even your f*cking friends sometimes don't give a damn about you, as long as you can please them. People take you for granted fast when you are there for them. So now slowly I'm more choosing myself first above everyone else. I had to become hard/direct against people, be less available or even turning off my phone and say NO a lot to others. I also stopped accepting people's drama or negative-energy simply because I;m not their f*cking therapist anymore. I also stopped texting first because I noticed I as always the one who iniated contact. Simply beause people always had a excuse like "being afraid to text first, being too awkward to chat, being too busy, forgetting to text first etc". It was always the same bullshit. So I stopped bothering to even text first anymore. This all has costed a lot of friendships with some people including also me having to cut contact with some toxic famillymembers. Simply because they wanted me to be their people-pleaser and use me for their own games or as their therapist for drama.

In the end I'll die alone and I'm totally fine with it. If they won't be there to support me pursuing my goals and dreams, they can piss off. I'll have myself and I'll be the one to reach my goals. Whatever it takes.

Everything in life is a struggle. I take two steps forward and 3, sometimes 4 steps back

[Sour-rose]

Definitely extremely difficult.

I have a dream that barely anyone in my family can achieve and came out to them and that was practically hard enough. And now, i'm going against everything my mother or father would do in their day for my dream. So yeah, it's pretty damn difficult. But I prefer that than cake walk easy.

[MemeSupreme]

difficult. i grew up very poor and had a really shitty abusive childhood BUT it could've been worse lol

like there's kids who grew up in a warzone or people who have lived in poverty all their life. so much other shit too like being blind. i am very lucky in a lot of ways and so many people have had it worse

For me, it's as if... well:

"Normal" feels like "Hard"

"Hard" feels like "Very Hard" (<-Specially this one)

Etc.

I mean, someone with Asperger's + a mom who are aware of my condition, but refuse to accept it, and instead tries to force me to "suppress" it. OR, treat me as if I'm an idiot instead.

It's hard to say, I've been finding it a bit difficult but then I don't want to say that because I know I have it way easier than some. It's hard but still manageable so I'd say medium. 😊

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I faced lots of what were deemed as difficult to extremely daunting challenges/obstacles during my lifetime but I dealt with nearly all off them quite easily.

[WhiteSteve]

I guess medium. In some ways, it’s very, very easy. In other ways, it’s very, very hard. So it probably balances out in the middle, haha.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Difficult merely because the back window of my car shattered and finding a replacement was expensive and time consuming. Been a real fun experience with the weather going back and forth between rain and sleet!

[electromagnetic]

Medium. There’s bumpy bits but for the most part, I’m coasting.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Maybe medium? I have no clue what my level would be.

[iFarted]

To me it's currently a medium, only because of my commute.

I'm in a good career that I love but sometimes I end up needing to commute 1+ hour.

[Phoenix98]

Normal to difficult, with occasional dives into extremely difficult.

[LiamJHayden]

Financially easy because I was sole heir of two families. But I am also without any family so that part is not so easy.

[Anonymous]

Easy to medium. I've had a lot of things go right in my life and I've been fortunate enough to have not made too many mistakes.

[mandyfire98]

I think medium. Normal mode.

[FreyaRed]

Normal. Without crazy mother it was easy

[Anonymous]

I'm a man so forced to play on the hardest difficulty. Not that I really consider this a bad thing, though.

[exitseven]

It is difficult but I think that was the point.

[douride2]

Over all my life has been difficult.

[Liketotry]

I have been blessed

Ridiculous
