My dad is pissed off at me because according to him I'm not getting my life in check fast enough. He says that I need to "stop laying around the house playing World of Warcraft." He also said I need to start looking for colleges and find a job. I told him I'm not ready to pursue that stuff yet and that I have all of my life to do that shit. He then asked me what makes me happy and I told him that what I'm doing right now makes me happy - hanging out at the house, getting out a bit everyday for exercise, playing WoW every once in awhile, just taking life slow. The thing that my dad can't see is that I don't possess the goals that "society" holds. My goal in life was never to graduate high school and then run off to college for four years and get a part time job flipping fucking patties at McDonald's. I don't NEED to eventually settle down, get married, and have kids. My dad, on the other hand, is very close-minded and thinks thats what everyone does. Pathetic. So, yeah... he's mad at me because I'm not a fucking sheep, following the common goals of society. Nice.

Re: Standards Of Society
Have you mentioned the volenteering idea to him?
On one side I say might as well enjoy life if you like it as it is now, and move on when you're ready - but it might creep up on you if you do one day desire work but don't have experience - but I suppose you'd get that from volenteering. If you want to get away from this sort of conflict you'd need a place of your own - unfair as it may be, I know people shouldn't have to be commited to a life of work just because they were born - but while you're alive you're subject to the consequences society is able to threaten you with - in some ways you're fighting it by standing against it, and I'm evading conflict with them by working.
Be aware though that you cost money to keep well fed +housed - but as long as you pay that, you're not imposing on them
