I feel like a car with no steering wheel.

I don't really have a plan for my life or care where it goes.

I don't feel like I want to be dead but it wouldn't bother me either.

I moved back to my family after a relationship failed and don't want another, don't want to be stuck in the same rut but down want it to change either.

I am not a thrill seeker or hedonistic, don't get excited about stuff and don't find anything funny.

I realised at 51 that I would have been on the autistic spectrum if diagnosed as a kid. But I function OK.

Any armchair shrinks out there want to have a go at advising me?

Join the club! I am older than you and never had a life plan and I found concentrating on getting through the days and earning a living took all my energy anyway. I just drifted here and there trying to find a job which I didn't mind too much, paid the bills, and left some over to do things I enjoyed in my leisure time.

The point is you never know what good things are going to come your way in the future and I guess its this and curiosity which has kept me going. As long as you stick around coz life is short enough anyway.

How's that for kerbside analysing? :) x
