Kids are hard to keep up with. I know a lot about what my 12 year old is into, but I'm pretty much the last to hear what my 18 year old is up to.

How much info do you share with your parents?

Classic literature

Probably about 2/3rds of the time I most agree with the top comment.

For the record, this post was not one of those times

I have a friend working on a Master's in math. Get back to me in a year or two, and I'll let you know what he's doing.

After three months, we're ready for them to go.

Honestly, I don't know how I would react if one of my kids told me something like that. I obviously would want to prevent it, but I don't think it would be an angry reaction. Mom might just not know how to deal with problems without fighting them aggressively.

Is your mom ever NOT mad at you? You should try to stop assuming that everyone is as unstable as her.

In addition to that, they just have much more interesting things to say. I worked with a guy who was big on math, and spent the whole day explaining complex math theories and interesting math history. Did you know Pythagoras was a major asshole and may have killed someone for disproving one of his theories?

I actually feel more comfortable around autistic people.

Am I autistic? Is it disabilist of me to say so?

I believe it's called "Doing exactly what they intended it to make you do."

Just a thought that crossed my mind today.

If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?

Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?

Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."

Just wondering what the rest of feel.

EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.

I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable. Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻‍♂️
