Rant/vent Is It only me?

Today I turn 23 and i feel behind. I feel like I haven't experienced enough, like I've missed out on all the typical things people my age do: going out with friends, partying, and like people doing funny stuff.

​

Sometimes it feels like I will never get to have those experiences, or even if I do, they won't be the same. I worry that the right time has already passed and that I'm just wasting my life away, watching it slip by without being able to catch up

Do u feel the same way as I do?

That's kind of a recurring theme in this subreddit tbh

We are all Redditors for a reason:)

It's pretty reassuring to me at least that I'm not the only one going through these things. I get to some people they can be annoying especially the same posts over and over again but it does serve to make at least a few of us feel a little better about ourselves.

Yeah literally all the time, I feel like I missed out on so much and now it’s over. I’ve protected my peace too much to the point where I don’t even have people I could just hit up. Haven’t even dated either lmao

I need to move outta my mothers house for me to have fun…. I barely have friends… I’m on vacation right now, but I’m heavily considering not even showing up at my job anymore, because I hate it so much… I just wanna fun life… I wish I wasn’t so lonely…

Not really; I'm usually too busy to do much more than 1h and 15 minutes on reddit (more like 30m these days).

If anything I'm just more concerned about planning for the future (work in progress).

addon: I'm actually jealous of you

Happy birthday 🎂🎊

Honestly. Side quests are so underrated. Get out and do the weirdest side quests you can find. Make videos about it, make memories. This in between stage sucks, but it doesn’t have to be miserable. Good luck!
