I wish it was like chess, Chess at least has clear rules on what moves are allowed and an end-goal (capture the king). Life not so much. It is one big guessing game, from rules, to goals, and everything in between.

See this is actually an amazing metaphor. Because just like with socialisation, I broadly know the basic rules of what each piece does. But that is absolutely not the same thing as actually knowing how to play chess.

I have a vague grasp of many of the fundamentals, nothing more.

See? Just the same👍💫

Also don’t know how to life

There’s a pawn… that does something. That’s about all I know.

I perfectly summed up my understanding of society’s unspoken rules.
