If you prefer to do things yourself rather than ask a stranger to do it.
When the nosepiece on my glasses came off, I found the little plastic cushion piece, but I never did find the tiny screw. Then I spent at least half an hour attempting (successfully! 
) to fasten it back onto the glasses with a snipped piece of paper clip in place of the screw, which I bent through the tiny hole with a pair of needle nose pliers. All that instead of driving 2 minutes to the optometrist and having them pop in a new little screw for free.

If when you were young, you were known for saying, “I never had a childhood – I was born an adult.”
I liked the amused chuckles and nods of agreement I received when I would say that, which I interpreted as approval, rather than as a red flag that maybe something wasn’t quite “right.” 
But I never felt I measured up on an adult level even when I finally was an adult. I still don’t. Nobody takes me seriously. I don't look like I'm 42. What if I’m really not as smart as everyone thinks I am? Every time I speak in public, I end up saying the wrong thing or neglecting to say the right thing, or saying the right thing in the wrong way, or thinking of the right thing six hours later when it's too late... Confused yet? I usually am!
So I generally don’t talk except on topics on which I believe I am proficient. And then no one is interested anyway.

A girl has been flirting with you every day for 6 months and it finally dons on you when she walks up and kisses you
You ate nothing but PB&J for 3 years
You have 5 computers to yourself (not family members, not friends)
Your desktop has 3 monitors attached and you use them all
You have 10 screen names signed on simultaneously
You talk to a girl for 6 months but never ask her out because you don't know how
Your friends with another girl for 4 years and you still can't ask her out because you don't know how
You prefer lizards and snakes as pets over typical cats and dogs
You chew paper (or other things) when your bored
Your nails are bitten down to a fine nub
You chew on the inside of your cheeks
You have to yell because other people can't hear your normal voice
You bought an X-box just to install linux on it
Your gamecube runs linux
Your car runs linux
You can organize over a terabyte of files, but you can't organize your bedroom
You work the same job for 3 years, yet you still need an alarm clock to remind you when its time to leave home
You find it easier and simpler to go home, sign online, search the website, and download the .PDF files containing registration hours for school rather than asking anyone in the registrars office.
You go to the store with a list but leave without buying anything on it.
You lucky sod!
If only that happened to me.

... if you can recognize a larger percentage of the people on this poster:
than people in your basic circle of friends and/or extended family (who you see on at least a bi-yearly basis).
Bonus points for owning the poster.
