No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm supposed to be, but I had to withdraw due to depression...
I mean... I literally got so much separation anxiety when I tried to stay at a college owned apartment, literally had trouble sleeping...
I mean is it even surprising I have depression? like... never feeling safe outside and also never feeling safe at home either... yea depression is just a deterministic outcome at this point
Oh btw my older brother never opted for the university housing... he just went to the satelite campuses close by instead of the main campus, to stay at home throught the entire 4 years... like just commutes to college... its a 30 - 45 min drive away... (I mean I also chose the satallite campus, but I tried to live away from home)
I don't think he wants to admit it, but I think he's also afraid of leaving home...
Literally never seen him go outside or anything besides work... so he's just like me... but he's acts, IMO, even weirder than me
So... it's not just me... my mom has raised kids that are trauma bonded to her and don't know how to be independent...
Great job, mom ๐ซ
Start small, choose some place close like a convenience store or something and keep doing that until you're comfortable, then slowly expand. After a while you'll get used to it, and distance won't matter as much.
If you have anxiety, maybe look into trying some medication to have on hand if you start to get anxious.
Since you are posting this question, I am assuming you want to get out. Take it slow and stay close to. Familiarity breeds comfort.
