Do you still sometimes run across things that 'everybody' knows but are new to you?

Are there still things that, even though you're now aware of them, are unsettling or jarring? In social interaction, work, education, whatever.

Did you have any marketable skills when you moved out? Have you gone back to school or otherwise gotten training?

Ah; missed the education post. Glad you're planning to go back, and glad that you seem to be coping with this.

And as long as you have some kind of future plans, I wouldn't worry too much over the lack of direction. There are plenty of mid-20s people in retail hell and/or lacking concrete direction and most of us will never have half as good a reason for it. Hope it keeps getting better for you.
