I’m too Innocent, How to survive in the real world

I’m very, very, very concerned that I am too innocent in life.

I was shelthered and I feel like I am not intelligent and slick enough to survive in this jungle.

I don’t have enough self esteem or confidence and definitely the social skills.

I need brains and a backbone. I need to learn how to be street smart as well as book smart.

My social IQ is negative one trillion.

Everyone, even my own parents, took advantage of me.

This guy I know is 7 years younger than me and he is street smart for his age and I am ashamed to see where I am at my age.

I keep seeing all the bad people winning and getting all the rewards in life while good hearted people get nowhere in life and suffer and lose.

I got eaten out alive in the real world, manipulated, backstabbed, used, cockblocked, tricked, deceived, burned, played everything.

So how can I change this?

I don’t have anyone in this world except myself.

the world is a harsh place. and good things happin to bad people it happins a lot ive been in your shoes and im absolutly not out of them just yet but for me it helps when it all comes out and i feel like what you described i pit up a pencil and a notepad and just go. just remember if someone dosent like you or treat you right they dont deserve to speak to you. try to pick up a new hobbie or something.
dont let other peoples happiness get to you and make you feel like you should change because your 100% perfict the way you are. you just need to get out more and meet new people. i know a few people who are exactly like you because of their innosence and they have plenty of friends and a lot of those friends do and say some messed up things to them but they just dont care. they are who they are they cant help it . they do what they want because they want to. if you cant be yourself how can you expect people to be themselves around you. idk if anything i say will help but i tried. idk why i just wanted to so i did. goodluck.
