Hello,

I was wondering if there exists any objective, high-quality guides to doing various human-stuff like showering, properly eating, integration in society, basically anything that can be thought as interacting with the real world.

Maybe there’s a wiki for such stuff? A weird request, for sure, but I am wondering if there’s an overall better way to do common stuff.

I’ve found the worst case scenario handbook to be very useful, but more material is always better.

Thank you for your replies! I learned a lot of useful stuff here. Also, the context is simply that I want to know if there are more efficient ways of doing things. Initially I was looking for a highly curated collection of things, but I realized it’s simply not possible to give a complete primer on life. That’s what other people are for. Thanks again for all the help.

    That is not the definition of helicopter parents; quite the opposite. Helicopter parents would have been overly attentive of you and ensuring you were doing all the things you should be doing, or doing them on your behalf, even if you fought against them.

    You had neglectful parents. Frankly, I wouldn’t refer to these people as “parents” at all if they didn’t teach you how to bathe yourself.

    I’m sorry this was your life and hope you’ve considered therapy.
