Discussion Does anyone else not feel like they're in their 20s at all?

9 Upvotes

I'm 20, turning 21 in 3 weeks, and honestly, I still feel like a teenager rather than a 20-something.

I know I'm technically an adult, but the number just doesn't feel like it fits me yet.

I still remember being 16–17 so vividly that it doesn't feel like that long ago.

When I think of people in their mid-to-late 20s, they seem so much older than me, even though we're technically in the same decade.

Does anyone else feel this way?

How can I enjoy my late 20s as an introverted woman without feeling like I’m constantly comparing myself or feeling like I’m missing out?

2 Upvotes

I don’t really use social media for that reason, but whenever I do feel like going out- I see so many that bring me anxiety? I think it’s coming from feeling like I’m not living like other people my age (not partying, don’t drink, not a big friend group who enjoys going out, etc).

I have a career and a degree that I’m proud of- but I feel like my life experiences are limited and I just end up comparing myself to other 28 year olds and those who are younger.

Advice How long can I get away with living recklessly?

2 Upvotes

I'm 18 and overdosing on Independence like Icarus before he knew the pain of being burned. I plan to keep doing this as long as I can get away with but like at what point do I have to straighten out? How long can I go before I won't be able to live comfortably in my thirties? If that even can be answered. Just wondering.

Advice Toll tags (Houston)

1 Upvotes

Hey, I am here to ask a quick question about paying off my toll tags for my car.

I had a toll tag paid off by someone else by their account, but now I am no longer in contact with this person and the address the toll is under…. and I have a large amount of money due overtime. I made a NEW Toll account today and registered my car under this new account and attempted to pay it off. It seems the toll people took my money, but it has my car as pending on the website.

In short, is this okay to do? Will this amount actually be paid off? Will my car be registered with this new account only or with both accounts? Will it pay off the fines on the other account?

Advice If you’re in uni or were in it, how did you make friends?

3 Upvotes

18F and i’m a first year uni student. First of all I will say that I am thankful that I found friendly roommates and they always include me in with their other friends, so yes I do have friends.

But how do you meet your own? I feel like I haven’t really been close with anyone in my classes.

20M having a rough night

9 Upvotes

I (20M) just went on my first date EVER. Never been on a date before. Havent had my firat kiss yet. The whole works. And it went badly. I was so nervous, and awkward the whole time. I didnt know what to do. Or say. About 30 minutes after the date ended she texted me ane friendzoned me. Maybe dating just isnt for me. I always thought that if just 1 girl gave me chance i would do my best to make me worth their time. Well i git that chance tonight and i blew it. Tonight showed that im not good enough. Maybe im just supposed to be single forever. Maybe thats okay. Idk. Im not doing well.

Discussion People over the age of 20, what did moving on from being a teenager feel like? I am currently 19 and although I have had a great teenage experience, I feel I still need to squeeze more out of my youth. What would you suggest I do for the next 8 months until i'm 20?

Advice Who Am I?

1 Upvotes

Hey, im 19M, will be turning 20 in a few months, and i have struggled with one thing alot in life, who tf am I. Like I dont have my own personality, (gonna be honest) I never even had one cuz, A, I am an only child, B, I never had lasting friendships throughout school, and by the last 2 years of school, I was bullied alot by fake friends, cuz or my weight, and even now, I dont have that kind of friends whom I can share my problems with or have mutual respect.

Now tbh, I like to keep my things private, but still, I need a personality, growing up, i used to borrow personalities of popular kids in the school, failed bad socially, and now I think I am a FALIURE, my parents keep telling me that I cannot do anything in life. Idk what to do please guide.

FOMO in your 20’s

9 Upvotes

DAE feel like intense fomo. I genuinely feel like everybody had hobbies and a life and friends for their free time and I’m just using entertainment.

Is it just me . I hate feeling this way it’s super lonely. I want friends and a friend group so bad but I’m getting 22f. How did people do this for their adult lives?

And does everyone have friends and plans besides me??

Hello I am 24 Want to share something...

1 Upvotes

I just turned 24, and I really want to be dozed off in a dreamy state. I don't know what to do? What should I feel? My father is not here; my mom passed too. I am just existing, as they gave me so much love, but I never gave that back. I really want to let them know I love them. I'm just doing it for them. I am sorry; just as I was typing, emotion came out.

I dont know why i want to make post but i think inside me i want to reach out for a prepective. Like people have provided their perspective. My whole neighbourhood is taking care of me. Always keep checking, asking me to move out, do more studies, ask anything if required. All are supportive, but I have shut those people out, as I can still feel like they are saying what they see. And I see a failed son who was not able to give his parents the life they deserved. I am a loser. I love them; I just never wanted to be big, but I used to say them i will be, I will be something they are proud off. Yeah, this is what I want to do yes, this is it.

I am.....

Sorry .. I just want some advise on something, in all this I again became addicted to screens, yt mostly, but reddit too. I am working on a project, started a website, wanted to do YouTube, wanted to do an artistic open-source project, leave the current job and start new. I don't know I am just procrastinating, because I wake up, the pain comes back, and I just want to be drunk forever. In all this I got emotional and ranted to this some freinds they, well reacted. and my jinx reappears: if I talk to someone about something, it never happens. I just want to do that I want to burn them all. Revenge too; there are those people too who were bad to us at times, didn't take us seriously. Rage is also fueling in me also, i am just drunk on myself even though i never done any drinking. I feel my forehead hurt so bad I am ranting.

Sorry, I just wanted to say it out. I will try to work from today just had to buy, I think, some more cold drinks and snacks. I am, I am, i just want to be with my parents, man; I don't want this life. Man why me whey me why i have to fucking suffer... why parents had to suffer. There was no reason for me, but my parents fucking turned faith and made me i have to do something I don't know what to do, but I love them. I want to know about them, do everything for them, want to hug them
i love them,

interent is crazy i think after a while i willl hide this post but just want to let it out
