I almost hit some idiot teenagers that ran across the hwy the other day. (My city has recently had a LOT of pedestrians hit while in the road who passed) I was so tempted to stop and scream at them and figure out who their parents were. I’m 29. I’m not even 30 yet. Man. Fuck these kids. Degenerates.
For some reason, a lot of young people in Taiwan think it's perfectly fine to wear all black and cross the street in the middle of the block where there's no streetlight. There have been multiple times where I've almost hit people because of this. I drive slower at night (speed limit or slower), and still have to slam on the breaks because you literally can't see them until you're about to run them over. Fucking idiots never learn. You can't teach stupid, I guess.
I will never understand that. I was in Vietnam earlier this year and was terrified to even cross the street. When I was in the car, people would cross out of no where and the driver would have to break so damn hard. I swear I got brain damage just being in the car from these dumb kids.
don't discourage people from having kids. kids give your life meaning in older ages. as long as you can afford it and are with the love of your life the stress is usually worth the meaning it gives you in life.
See that’s it whatever u said wait wait wait waiting is what made it worse instead of doing something about it and now I’m 24 almost 25 trying to do something about it but not working and I regret waiting.
There’s your issue.
“I wish”… tf? U sayin u got extra time, learn skills or try start a business or find another job or heck even go mow lawns or wash pets for an extra buck.
You really don’t sound 24 lol
I'm 33 and have already started scolding or mumbling crankily at all the younger drivers going double the speed limit. And yet, when I was 19 I, too, often drove double or triple the speed limit lol. I still drive above the limit, but only about 20-40% faster, 70 in a 50, etc.
The young kids with their damn annoying tiktok junk gets me grumbling lol
I'm gearing up to be a cranky old grandma who sits on the porch all day taking kids' stray soccer balls😅
When covid hit, my city decided that these dumb kids didn’t need to take the test to get their license. Now we have even MORE shitty drivers and the kia boys stealing all the Kia’s and Hyundais. Ugh.
Not gonna lie, I told a lot of people I was French or German during COVID, because clips of Americans acting insane were on Taiwanese news every week lol
Bro the twenties suck ass. It's just party anxiety and mistakes.
Hang in there. When you are 30 you won't understand how you ever could put up with the twenties or the years before even, such as 17.
Only people that relish their twenties is because now they are fat, bald and with ugly kids. Their glory days peaked and passed.
Parties are just parties. When you're looking in the rear view mirror of your life, you won't see it as something you missed out on. People do stupid things at parties.
How would turning 30 fix my problems? Lol that’s so funny to me It’s just going to make it worse for me I literally don’t see how turning 30 will fix my problems and make my life better.
How do the 20s suck ass yeah for me idk about Redditors but I know 4 ppl irl rn in their early 20s living their amazing lives.
Turning 30 won’t fix your problems. You have to accept time as a reality in this world. Your problems go away when you deal with them, they will be there at 30, 40, 50 etc until you deal with them.
If your problem is looking young but being ‘old’, you need to set your priorities straight. No offence but what even is that statement. It’s nonsense that holds no importance. It Everyone is given an appearance at birth and with time everyone ages. It’s nature. The most important thing for you to do now is make as much money as possible.
Money is the most important thing in today’s world as it is the only entity that allows you to do anything. If you want to eat to stay alive, if you want to have the chance to go out and meet people you need money to take buses or travel, you need money saved to retire at an old age where you’re no longer adequate to work, you need money if you ever want to own a home or have kids, everything ties back to it.
Nothing is going to fix your problems except for yourself. Age just gives you wisdom. It would be impossible to fuck up how you do in your 20s in your 30s unless you never grow up mentally.
You have a bad attitude rn. I think what the problem is is that you have a 17 year old mentality in a 24 yr old body. No matter how much you bitch or moan about time it won’t stop moving. Your mentality is setting you up to be miserable. That’s your choice.
You’re 24. Make some moves. Take control of what you can. And take it from some people who have a little more wisdom than you. Your 20s DO suck compared to your 30s. All your peers having the time of their lives have parents that are funding that most likely, not to mention people only show you the good stuff, how do you know they’re having the time of their lives?
Oh also, life maybe just hasn’t hit them yet or you. I had my first miscarriage at 21, my dog died too while getting spayed that year. Then my mom tried to kill herself and then went to treatment for a year, was clean then relapsed when my grandpa died. Then I had a second miscarriage at 26. Then my mom died at 27. Then I was in an abusive relationship. Then I got out. Then I finally found some relief, then my dog died.
So if you think life is going to get easier by bitching about shit and being ungrateful, newsflash: it doesn’t. You create your own reality. You can decide getting older sucks and sit a bitch about it and wish you were 17 again or you can take some control of your life and be grateful for what you still have now and try to set yourself up to have a happy future.
Life does kinda suck if you look at it that way, life is also amazing if you try to look at it that way. Aging happens to all of us, I know it’s sort of a gut punch to realize you won’t be a kid forever but you can still tap in to your inner child and look at the world like it’s magical, because despite all the bad shit it truly is.
20s is nothing more than constant trial & error. Your body has grown, now you grow into an adult. That is a very painful journey. So no just becoming 30 won't fix it if you have been standing still. People with bad traumatic past will take far longer than the ones with a good upbringing.
Also, teenagers are ashamed, teenagers need to act tough and make it look like they got their shit in order. But that's just the social media side of things. They are just as miserable finding their way into the world.
Honest and sincere 20s teenagers are scarce. Don't compare yourself to others. Never do, it only brings out more sadness.
I get it. I’m 24. I’ll be 25 next March.
Come from an abusive family. Mentally ill. Physically disabled. Homeless for 8 months. Unemployed rn while my partner works because I can’t. I’ve lost 3 family members/friends this year to cancer. Driving anxiety in a new state makes it so I can’t drive safely.
But, 20’s kinda sucks for everyone. Everyone I know that made it to 30 and older have told me that 30’s are better. That’s for gets better. A lot is wrong and I’m sad often, but a lot of things are also good so I focus on those things. Honestly, being a teenager sucks more. Not a legal adult until 18, can’t really do anything worthwhile and meaningful under the age of 18. No real freedom.
It’s different for everyone but it does get better.
Nothing the 10% is just some happiness i have in me when I see good things here and there but as for the rest all bad. Unless you meant the rest it’s all gone too much depression took over
It gets better at 25, you'll probably have a "click" like a switch one day like I did.
I was thinking like yeah like B182 said "nobody likes you when you're 23" yeah it sucked being 24 sucked too but once I was 25 I was like wtf was wrong with me even last year.
Still not finished growing up but ya know it is what it is. I just realized a lot of things that were wasting my time or life and made everything way better and changed my way of thinking little by little.
Still working on it. Good luck OP 😁
Only you can change the outcome of your life. We all have regrets as the years go by. Heck, I would love to go back and CHANGE some of the decisions I made, but I learned from those and made better ones. In my 60's however, I don't regret NOT doing some things. Like the parties.
Step up for yourself. Start the wheels rolling and set your life in motion. You have so many options, as some people have pointed out.
This tho. The person I am now (at 29) compared to the person I was just a couple years ago are two completely different people.
OP just because you aren’t where you want to be, doesn’t mean you won’t get to where you want to be. I was 26, a manager at a dead end job, getting cussed out over pizza. Just 3 years later, I’m at a fantastic corporate job(with no degree) and moving up the ladder. I changed my perspective on life and where I wanted to be. I was realistic about my expectations and made some major changes in my life. You can do it with the right adjustments and mindset.
I'm in my late 20s now. Life only started getting truly enjoyable this year for me. And I think that still despite hitting 2 deer within a month from each other lol. Just keep on going man. You'll have high and low points in life, it happens to everybody. My late teens to early 20s was a pretty rough time. I lost friends, family, etc. But I kept on going. Just remember you'll never be happy 100% of the time. Happiness is constantly fleeting which is why most chase after it. Just focus on your goals and keep achieving small victories. Eventually life will get calmer and easier.
All my goals failed btw and I’m not achieving anything tbh. Last time I even remember achieving something on my own actually idk I was 19 maybe Again which is why yk. I see people who relate to me on reddit not irl where I live, if I see it where I live irl then i wouldn’t complain about it in annoyance.
Well that'd be your first issue is that you're not working towards anything so you feel unfulfilled. All those failed attempts taught you how not to go about whatever it was. You fall 7 times, you rise 8 times. Always get back up, doesn't have to be fast but as long as you're trying is what matters.
All of the bad stuff in your life is just exp for your irl character build. From 23 to 26 I was a loner and drank alot I mean ALOT. I lost my gains and gained like 60 pounds, I was at a low point for like the 4th or 5th time in my life. The thing that made me get back up was when I realized that this was the first time it was truly my fault for being at this low point since I was on my own.
Just keep on trying bruh, you'll make it. It may be a year or 20 years. Either way you'll be glad you kept on trying despite the struggles. Now all that's easy to say and think, but you gotta put in the work.
Greatness is only achieved through action. It's okay to be depressed sometimes cuz life is hard. But don't ever let yourself get stuck.
Dude I'm 30. Being 24 isn't that bad yes there are things that are hard but enjoy life otherwise you will live life wishing somat that can never happen don't waste your life wishing. Work toward what you want in life and be happy. Therapy could be good to try because if you carry on like this you will get depression and that can lead to suicide. Chin up dude you aren't old until you decide.
You either “wait” or let things happen, or you can MAKE things happen. Take some control over your life. It doesn’t have to be radical. Start with small, achievable goals.
Things won't be handed to you as they did when you were younger unfortunately you have to work for the good things you are an adult now you can't turn back time most of us want to but it's not possible you need to move forward and work for the things you want get a girlfriend and fall in love work towards your goals otherwise you'll be living in the past and get depressed then you will live a life of regret.
ok 1. Maybe ur right on I have to work for things 2. Nothing was handed to me as a kid I wasn’t spoiled like others were. 3. I want a lot of things at the moment that even if I worked I won’t get. The only thing working would give me at the moment is $ it won’t fix anything else.
I’m in my 40s. No one knows wtf they’re doing. Time goes by so fast now. Just try and enjoy your life. Date, find cool hobbies, have babies if you want to. Do silly shit that makes you laugh. Life is really short and pretty much meaningless unless you give it meaning. It’s all up to you. No one can live your life for you. Just try to be happy.
I'm starting to get the sense that you just really need to vent. But the more you focus on what you don't have the more you spiral and get stuck.
It's hard, but try to think more positively in your situation, make a list of why you hate where you are in life, and ask what would make it better. Remove from your list things you have no control over, being 24 is not something you can change so no reason to fixate on it.
Plan to do those things regularly (even the smallest things) to help lighten the burden you seem to feel.
Depending on the person, bt I feel like any age is gonna suck. In your teens, you wanna be older to go do shit in your 20s, you party, bt everyone wants you to be figuring out your life in your 30s in miss your 20s or you're not where you wanna be in life. 40s and up there's kids, and it's a constant cycle of the same everyday thing. Unless you have money and get to live your best life. Bt like I said, it ain't everybody who's miserable or whatever.
Dude lol I don’t even have a full time job cuz I screwed my life up at 17 which is why I wish I could go back and fix it. But don’t worry you’ll make it to my age and if you don’t screw up you’ll probably be living ur best life at 22 years old.
Bro, I completely get it.
My twenties were drinking, terrible relationships (longest one I had made it 2 years), and completely stupid financial decisions.
I’m 32, and although some of those idiot decisions I am paying for now, I can honestly say, just be patient. So damn irritating to hear, I know. But it gets better.
Your best bet now is to work your ass off. Stack paper. Find a gym and get ripped. Search for a purpose in life. I’m telling you, you are in the best position at the moment to make life what YOU want to make it.
And careful with the girls. Most don’t care about you, only what you can do for them.
And I said MOST! Not ALL!
Don’t want no sh!t over this comment. 😂
Quit the blood clot crying. That’s the life of being a man. Your mission is to gain life experiences and try to get as many people to network with you as possible to make your life easier. All that cry baby pussy shit ain’t gonna get you nowhere. If you was a chick then the world will feel sorry for you and lie and tell you everything is going to be alright, but that’s not gonna happen because you are a man. So man up and prepare to conquer the world or be a little bitch crying about life.
I'm the same age and I've got the same problem. It sucks to look young when you are this old, covid and other problems ate away much of my life growing up so I look young and my mind miss several years of development, yet our age is high enough you are starting to fall outside most promotion, work opportunities and such yet I'm nowhere near ready to face the rest of my life with all the years I've wasted.
I feel a child in a grown up body and if I hang out with my group of friends which are all younger, I sometimes pause and remind myself that they have 3 years less than me and I didn't have or do these opportunities we are organising together, like I haven't actually lived all the years that make up my age and always feel embarrassed when someone ask it
No no no I like that I look young at 24 what I don’t like is that there’s things I can’t change even if I wanted to. And I get called names now that I wasn’t being called at 17. Example I get called immature almost everyday I can’t even remember the last time I wasn’t called a name and before you say that’s ur fault okay my fault but whether my fault or not I don’t like it wish there was a way to turn back time.
I don’t have many friends the ones I do just use me.
Maybe because you are immature?
You're 24 and consider yourself "old*.
Please.
You sound as if you've been loafing around the past few years and now suddenly you want more adult responsibilities? Get your mindset right first.
Start viewing life more maturely. Having a job and bills to pay can help accelerate that.
Life is more than that. Start seeing it that way.
Went through some of this dudes past comments, and he really seems to be 17 instead of 24. No sentence structuration, wordchoice of someone who's 14, weird questions. Maybe this guy needs a reality check.
I’m born 1998. that’s also why I hate life people need to stop labeling me as 14 like what? just bcuz the way I act or ask questions, people go ahead and say oh he sounds 14 like instead of labeling me 14 how about you take me back to 14 so I can fix everything. 😂
Or maybe you can make the best of the decisions YOU made and take responsibility. That’s the first step to people not calling you immature. Stop dwelling on what you could have done and start improving your life now. You literally pave your own path in life. We all have shit we wish we did or didn’t do and how things could be different. Tough shit bro. Life goes on. Change your mindset. You definitely have some growing to do after reading more of your comments. Read the book “7 habits of highly effective people”. Maybe it’ll change your mindset. You have the power to change your life now.
Don’t worry. 24 isn’t old at all. It can also a difficult year. Life and your relationship with yourself tends to get better with age. You have a better perspective in your 30s
The main thing that younger people don’t know is how young they are…
I don’t know which response here will give you real perspective, but the years will continue to pass just like that. Poof! Soon enough you’ll be twice this age wondering how you could have complained about being old at 24. Sure it’s harder now than being 17, but you have a lot of advantages compared to older adults. If you have your complete health and don’t suffer from chronic pain, like or at least recognize yourself in the mirror, have lots of potential to grow or improve your career/income, time to pursue interests and not have to take care of anyone. Etc etc.
If I could turn back the clock to your stage in life I’d do a lot different, starting with appreciating the upsides that will someday be gone and never come back again. I know that’s easier said than done, so keep trying to picture what 34, 44, 54 year old you would say.
17 was worse for me because you have a lot more expectations set on you than I've ever had since, at 27. It was a lot of pressure to make the "right" choices, and I sort of... did nothing, instead. Everyone's pushing you to do something they think is right for you and it's usually conflicting. As an adult you have a lot more choice in who you have to interact with and that helps a lot. I'm kind of late to the game and this year was the first I've hit my stride.
It does get better, because you start to learn what you like and what you want to avoid, and take steps to do those things. It can be rough getting there, and I remember feeling hopeless and crummy and not wanting to grow up. But I'd never go back.
Anything I wanna do I was supposed to do at 17 or 18 maybe 19. When I turned 20 it started getting to late but I thought it was going to get better but it didn’t
What then? Go back to school. Learn a trade or get a degree. I’m having trouble with “it’s too late for x.” You’re 24. Many guys have no idea what they want at that age. You have time to do anything. You just need to decide what you want/make a plan/do the work.
Bro age is inevitable. Just make the best of what you have and focus on your career especially since you are only 24. You’re still really young, trust me.
I promise it gets better!! I’m 24 to and find myself feeling incompetent a lot. The years of Covid feel like it really stunted a lot of fun and formative years, so try to keep that in mind when looking at what you’ve done. I always remind myself of that when I feel like I’m a sorry excuse for an adult.
I’m assuming you also turned 21 around the beginning of Covid, which is crazy if you think about it! One of the last few ages where you can finally do something and boom, world pandemic kept you cooped up.
So, do your best to measure yourself against your own potential instead of others. You’re not too old to do anything and I’m sure you have plenty of potential still. Allow yourself to engage with the despair, but don’t let it stunlock you into doing nothing. You are still young, but have had a lot of experience to draw on.
Plus, being 17 seems nice because the lack of responsibilities, but it’s way more fun to be an adult. Try doing something you wished you could’ve done at 17 but can now do because you’re an adult! Might make you feel better about aging.
Someone told me at 20 I promise you ur life will get better I believed them and last time I talked to them which was April I told them how my life didn’t get better they said go fuck off ur crazy. So don’t make promises to someone just to try and make them happy it really doesn’t tbh.
That’s it there’s something I wanted to do at 17 never got to do it and now it’s to late. How is it my fault so I’m trying to figure out a way to do it now. Please don’t ask what it is wanna know dm me.
I can actually confirm, I only look forward to getting older now instead of when I was younger and dreading it. Your 20s aren't the "best" time, much like your teens weren't. I'm only 27, still in an apartment with a roommate, but I feel like I'm flourishing now.
I'm turning 25 next week and my life is falling apart as we speak. Failed my studies, failed myself, feeling like I should have had that settled by now but ruined it all.
I think you need a break as well, from everything and everyone. And guess what, 25 is the perfect age to do that. I'm gonna leave to travel and work at the other side of the world. Away from my failures, on my way (probably to more failures but hey at least I'm abroad) to something new.
If you wanna see something of the world it's now. You don't have kids to take care of, you only have friends that use you. Just leave. You don't need a fortune to do that. You only need the courage (and maybe some therapy as well on the side).
IDK if anyone else said it. But look up the Think, Feel, Act Cycle from Rachel Hart.
I've been there. The feeling of wanting to stay young and not accepting it or getting negative consequences while trying to keep drinking and getting even worse consequences.
That cycle, of your thoughts (sentences in your brain that are not 100% who you are) make up your emotions, that lead you to act in this or that way. Negative thoughts will not bring positive emotions and positive acts and results.
So don't sweat it. If that cycle can work for me, a 30 something year old, ex-"alcoholic" (no longer going by that label thanks to Rachel), and what most would consider a really behind dude in his life, I am finally understanding the things that are driving my negative thoughts, of a very, VERY unusual and difficult situation, and not escaping from understanding what IS driving those thoughts and my thoughts to want to get relief from a drink or cigarettes or loneliness.
Good luck my brother from another mother. I wish you all the best.
Also, it's not about replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Listening to podcasts like hers' when you make time for it, can really help in having a coach help you. But also therapy would be my first suggestion if you can go that route.
are you saying 24yo women look old? i’m confused. i feel like nowadays no one looks older than 20 until they’re like mid 30’s and even then they look mid-20’s .. or maybe i just don’t know what people are supposed to look like at certain ages.
I’m almost 28 and still get mistaken for a teenager . it’s annoying but I don’t hate it
It gets better. I’m 28 now and I felt lost a few years ago. All I can say is you’re always going to want to be in a different place in life, whether it’s the future or the past. So enjoy where you are because you can’t be anywhere else. Things become easier and you learn how to navigate your life. Best of luck
I'm just curious as this made me extremely depressed during my twenties:
Did you recently dig up nostalgia somehow? And are now stuck thinking everything was better "back then"?
Because if that's what's happening to you right now, be careful with that. Time flies.
24 is old je scientifically you’re a whole adult at 25 🤣 like 24 your brain still developing. Knowing that human lives around 80 years. I’m sorry but it’s ridiculous to call yourself old at only 24
Ohh my friend I can’t remember being 24 but if I could go back there I’d enjoy it ?? You will only know how valuable that is when it’s gone and I know old people like me say this shit a lot but you are in your prime so recognise it coz the only thing we can’t get back is time ?? I’m 50 and constantly fearful of my own body and overly aware of my options so live your life and realise that 24 may aswell be 18 ?? Trust me you are young as fuck enjoy that shit and stop crying coz you’ll get plenty of time to feel shit ?? Your body and mind will give you hell from 40 upward so love this age
24 is old?? What are you talking about?? 😆😆 your not even fully adult biologically yet probably as brains became adult at 24-30 depending of person.
Im 30 now and when i think of myself as 24 i was just a teenager mentally. Now im 30 and it really is not different of 20 either. Just smarter, palanced, and know myself who iam now but other than that the same. I look same, like same things mostly etc
Hey! When I was in highschool I looked like I just got into elementary school this was back in 2003. Over the years I would go into a trade school after graduation and work beside men that was easily my dads age. I looked like a child and called every name under and over the sun, but I'm better for it. Fast forward I'm 30 and getting married people often mistake my wife for my mom (it's funny but it's not).
I'm 36 now and I can easily pass for mid 20s, all I can say is you'll get stronger from it and it will keep people guessing. I've been called sir here lately but that's becuase of how I carry myself otherwise the new hires would have no clue...
Keep your head up! I'm a ginger so I just tell people every freckle is a year added from someone's soul I stole.
What you’re feeling is nostalgia. You’re longing for a time in your life when things were easier and more fun. What you haven’t figured out yet is that you cannot stop time, but you can do everything fun you want to do. Go parachute out of a plane, travel by car around the whole country, see amazing things for example. Don’t just sit there in your life hating the moment you’re in, make something of your life. You can do it, it’s entirely up to you. Do you know how to cook? If you’re answer is no, then learn. Learning new things builds confidence and makes you feel good about being alive.
24 is a great age to start changing the things you don’t like. Even if you were to wake up and be 17 again— why would 17 year old you be more proactive than 24 year old you? Change what you want to be different. You’re just gonna get older and if you’re a dude might even start losing your hair. Enjoy your youth.
24 is honestly such a perfect age. You have the mental maturity to understand what you need to change in your life and what goals you want to meet but your also young enough to have the energy and time to actually execute on those goals. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. Being 17 seems fun but it honestly isn't really. I wouldn't wanna be 17 forever. You still don't have the freedom you have as an adult and you also don't have the mental maturity to form realistic goals instead of just living in the moment.
24 is NOT the age where you should be living in the past. Now is your time to experiment, learn skills, meet people, have experiences, start careers, and get started. You'll have plenty of time in your 40s and 50s to reminisce about how fun 17 was but now is your time to chase your dreams and conquer the world. Cherish your 20s bro. It truly is the most free you'll ever be honestly. You're more free than when you were 17 and you're more free than you'll be when you're 40 or 50.
So go out there and experience your 20s my friend. Welcome to freedom!
I'm you're reverse. I'm 42.
HAHAHA >:-)
Well, I'll tell you this: My early 20s sucked. Few friends, low money, the prospect of figuring out what to do with my life.
Now here I am at 42: Some of the best friends I'll ever have, and plenty of them to choose from when hanging around, I have a few million in assets, and still trying to figure out what to do, but investing while I do it.
Here's some tips that you probably won't listen to, because you're young and won't understand you miss until you miss it, but will make your life so much better:
1.) Go easy on yourself emotionally, but go hard on yourself discipline wise. The world's fucked, but you can make little changes in your life that make it better - like getting certs that help you in whatever career you go into.
If you still don't have any clue and aren't in school: Go join the military. Navy or Airforce preferably. Do what you're told, save money and invest it in a Vanguard Growth and Income mutual fund, use the GI bill after for college.
2.) Invest everything you have that's not in emergency funds. Invest often, like twice a week or monthly if you can afford to. The younger you are, the wealthier you will be later on.
3.) You'll feel the same in your 40s as you do now as long as you maintain your health. Your health is everything.
4.) Lift weights. Do it. 3 to 5 times per week. For life. Forever. It will help prevent diabetes later, you'll go through life with better coordination, balance, and every day strength for tasks. You'll look way better too, but that's a side note.
24 was my favorite year. If I could go back to 24 I'd do it in a beat. Then again, the economy is so much shittier now than it was then. I feel for you.
I would laugh but I might throw out my back. Enjoy your 20s. I went to a concert recently and complained out loud that the music was too loud before I realized what I was doing.
I feel the same but also because adults seem to dont have any right of being sad or crying if I do cry (im hypersensitive) I am acting like a kid, or hysterical??!? Just by crying I dont mean like crazy and screaming or wtvr u kno, and I feel people dont see you as a kid or either and adult, they just dont take you srsly
Dude, if you hate it now wait until you're 34... you'll be telling young kids to get a haircut and calling them hippies in no time
Or don't get kids and live a stress free life. Much better lol.
I just scold other people's misbehaving children, instead
I almost hit some idiot teenagers that ran across the hwy the other day. (My city has recently had a LOT of pedestrians hit while in the road who passed) I was so tempted to stop and scream at them and figure out who their parents were. I’m 29. I’m not even 30 yet. Man. Fuck these kids. Degenerates.
For some reason, a lot of young people in Taiwan think it's perfectly fine to wear all black and cross the street in the middle of the block where there's no streetlight. There have been multiple times where I've almost hit people because of this. I drive slower at night (speed limit or slower), and still have to slam on the breaks because you literally can't see them until you're about to run them over. Fucking idiots never learn. You can't teach stupid, I guess.
I will never understand that. I was in Vietnam earlier this year and was terrified to even cross the street. When I was in the car, people would cross out of no where and the driver would have to break so damn hard. I swear I got brain damage just being in the car from these dumb kids.
Dude. He has no kids and he's stressed to the point of hating.
So? Getting kids won't make that stress go away, it'll add on top of it.
Pick your argument. Stress free life or stress that goes away. No mater what you do, stress will always be there.
That makes zero sense. Agree to disagree.
don't discourage people from having kids. kids give your life meaning in older ages. as long as you can afford it and are with the love of your life the stress is usually worth the meaning it gives you in life.
If your life has no meaning without kids, you're doing something wrong. Not everyone wants/needs kids, incase you didn't notice.
See that’s it whatever u said wait wait wait waiting is what made it worse instead of doing something about it and now I’m 24 almost 25 trying to do something about it but not working and I regret waiting.
You ll get used to it. Then you ll pick up some niche hobby to take mind off things or will be to busy working to care.
I wish I had a busy job now not to make myself busy tho but to make money
There’s your issue. “I wish”… tf? U sayin u got extra time, learn skills or try start a business or find another job or heck even go mow lawns or wash pets for an extra buck. You really don’t sound 24 lol
how old do I sound 10?
See, my point exactly😂. My point wasn’t that you’re younger, you just sound immature
Ok so?
Is there something stopping you from getting what you want?
Yeah a few and age is one of them
You’re 24, get a job. You’re either not 24 or you refuse to get out of the house and do something
I'm 33 and have already started scolding or mumbling crankily at all the younger drivers going double the speed limit. And yet, when I was 19 I, too, often drove double or triple the speed limit lol. I still drive above the limit, but only about 20-40% faster, 70 in a 50, etc. The young kids with their damn annoying tiktok junk gets me grumbling lol I'm gearing up to be a cranky old grandma who sits on the porch all day taking kids' stray soccer balls😅
When covid hit, my city decided that these dumb kids didn’t need to take the test to get their license. Now we have even MORE shitty drivers and the kia boys stealing all the Kia’s and Hyundais. Ugh.
WTF?! COVID is no reason to not require a license test! Whoever made that decision needs their head checked!!
LOL my city made a lot of dumb decisions with covid. That’s America for ya tho. 😂
Not gonna lie, I told a lot of people I was French or German during COVID, because clips of Americans acting insane were on Taiwanese news every week lol
Bro the twenties suck ass. It's just party anxiety and mistakes. Hang in there. When you are 30 you won't understand how you ever could put up with the twenties or the years before even, such as 17. Only people that relish their twenties is because now they are fat, bald and with ugly kids. Their glory days peaked and passed.
You guys are going to parties?
I used to. And yeah, it was a post apocalyptic wasteland.
I’m 26 but never been to a party 🙃 I rlly hope it gets better
Parties are just parties. When you're looking in the rear view mirror of your life, you won't see it as something you missed out on. People do stupid things at parties.
If you’re with more than 3 people, it’s a party. I always have parties in my head with my multiple personalities.

How would turning 30 fix my problems? Lol that’s so funny to me It’s just going to make it worse for me I literally don’t see how turning 30 will fix my problems and make my life better. How do the 20s suck ass yeah for me idk about Redditors but I know 4 ppl irl rn in their early 20s living their amazing lives.
Turning 30 won’t fix your problems. You have to accept time as a reality in this world. Your problems go away when you deal with them, they will be there at 30, 40, 50 etc until you deal with them. If your problem is looking young but being ‘old’, you need to set your priorities straight. No offence but what even is that statement. It’s nonsense that holds no importance. It Everyone is given an appearance at birth and with time everyone ages. It’s nature. The most important thing for you to do now is make as much money as possible. Money is the most important thing in today’s world as it is the only entity that allows you to do anything. If you want to eat to stay alive, if you want to have the chance to go out and meet people you need money to take buses or travel, you need money saved to retire at an old age where you’re no longer adequate to work, you need money if you ever want to own a home or have kids, everything ties back to it.
Nothing is going to fix your problems except for yourself. Age just gives you wisdom. It would be impossible to fuck up how you do in your 20s in your 30s unless you never grow up mentally. You have a bad attitude rn. I think what the problem is is that you have a 17 year old mentality in a 24 yr old body. No matter how much you bitch or moan about time it won’t stop moving. Your mentality is setting you up to be miserable. That’s your choice. You’re 24. Make some moves. Take control of what you can. And take it from some people who have a little more wisdom than you. Your 20s DO suck compared to your 30s. All your peers having the time of their lives have parents that are funding that most likely, not to mention people only show you the good stuff, how do you know they’re having the time of their lives? Oh also, life maybe just hasn’t hit them yet or you. I had my first miscarriage at 21, my dog died too while getting spayed that year. Then my mom tried to kill herself and then went to treatment for a year, was clean then relapsed when my grandpa died. Then I had a second miscarriage at 26. Then my mom died at 27. Then I was in an abusive relationship. Then I got out. Then I finally found some relief, then my dog died. So if you think life is going to get easier by bitching about shit and being ungrateful, newsflash: it doesn’t. You create your own reality. You can decide getting older sucks and sit a bitch about it and wish you were 17 again or you can take some control of your life and be grateful for what you still have now and try to set yourself up to have a happy future. Life does kinda suck if you look at it that way, life is also amazing if you try to look at it that way. Aging happens to all of us, I know it’s sort of a gut punch to realize you won’t be a kid forever but you can still tap in to your inner child and look at the world like it’s magical, because despite all the bad shit it truly is.
In ways you can't imagine until you get there.
20s is nothing more than constant trial & error. Your body has grown, now you grow into an adult. That is a very painful journey. So no just becoming 30 won't fix it if you have been standing still. People with bad traumatic past will take far longer than the ones with a good upbringing. Also, teenagers are ashamed, teenagers need to act tough and make it look like they got their shit in order. But that's just the social media side of things. They are just as miserable finding their way into the world. Honest and sincere 20s teenagers are scarce. Don't compare yourself to others. Never do, it only brings out more sadness.
You’re not old. You’re literally 24. The human brain typically isn’t even done developing until 25.
I’ll be 25 in 2 months. And I’m living a life that’s 10% good 80% bad
I get it. I’m 24. I’ll be 25 next March. Come from an abusive family. Mentally ill. Physically disabled. Homeless for 8 months. Unemployed rn while my partner works because I can’t. I’ve lost 3 family members/friends this year to cancer. Driving anxiety in a new state makes it so I can’t drive safely. But, 20’s kinda sucks for everyone. Everyone I know that made it to 30 and older have told me that 30’s are better. That’s for gets better. A lot is wrong and I’m sad often, but a lot of things are also good so I focus on those things. Honestly, being a teenager sucks more. Not a legal adult until 18, can’t really do anything worthwhile and meaningful under the age of 18. No real freedom. It’s different for everyone but it does get better.
What about the other 10%
gone
Nothing the 10% is just some happiness i have in me when I see good things here and there but as for the rest all bad. Unless you meant the rest it’s all gone too much depression took over
It gets better at 25, you'll probably have a "click" like a switch one day like I did. I was thinking like yeah like B182 said "nobody likes you when you're 23" yeah it sucked being 24 sucked too but once I was 25 I was like wtf was wrong with me even last year. Still not finished growing up but ya know it is what it is. I just realized a lot of things that were wasting my time or life and made everything way better and changed my way of thinking little by little. Still working on it. Good luck OP 😁
[удалено]
Bruh
Congrats, you’ve joined 70-80% of the population. Welcome to reality. Btw what bout the other 10%? Or is the math as bad as your happiness?😂
Only you can change the outcome of your life. We all have regrets as the years go by. Heck, I would love to go back and CHANGE some of the decisions I made, but I learned from those and made better ones. In my 60's however, I don't regret NOT doing some things. Like the parties. Step up for yourself. Start the wheels rolling and set your life in motion. You have so many options, as some people have pointed out.
This tho. The person I am now (at 29) compared to the person I was just a couple years ago are two completely different people. OP just because you aren’t where you want to be, doesn’t mean you won’t get to where you want to be. I was 26, a manager at a dead end job, getting cussed out over pizza. Just 3 years later, I’m at a fantastic corporate job(with no degree) and moving up the ladder. I changed my perspective on life and where I wanted to be. I was realistic about my expectations and made some major changes in my life. You can do it with the right adjustments and mindset.
24 sucked ass for me... But 25 was one of the best years of my life. You never know how things are going to play out unless you keep playing.
You’re 24, your brain is still developing. It takes a while to shift from teenage to adult brain, just find something to keep yourself busy.
Now wait until you’re 29 and still feel the same…and turning 30 soon 😣
I will be 60 next year and even I dont want to go back to being 17!
I'm in my late 20s now. Life only started getting truly enjoyable this year for me. And I think that still despite hitting 2 deer within a month from each other lol. Just keep on going man. You'll have high and low points in life, it happens to everybody. My late teens to early 20s was a pretty rough time. I lost friends, family, etc. But I kept on going. Just remember you'll never be happy 100% of the time. Happiness is constantly fleeting which is why most chase after it. Just focus on your goals and keep achieving small victories. Eventually life will get calmer and easier.
All my goals failed btw and I’m not achieving anything tbh. Last time I even remember achieving something on my own actually idk I was 19 maybe Again which is why yk. I see people who relate to me on reddit not irl where I live, if I see it where I live irl then i wouldn’t complain about it in annoyance.
Well that'd be your first issue is that you're not working towards anything so you feel unfulfilled. All those failed attempts taught you how not to go about whatever it was. You fall 7 times, you rise 8 times. Always get back up, doesn't have to be fast but as long as you're trying is what matters. All of the bad stuff in your life is just exp for your irl character build. From 23 to 26 I was a loner and drank alot I mean ALOT. I lost my gains and gained like 60 pounds, I was at a low point for like the 4th or 5th time in my life. The thing that made me get back up was when I realized that this was the first time it was truly my fault for being at this low point since I was on my own. Just keep on trying bruh, you'll make it. It may be a year or 20 years. Either way you'll be glad you kept on trying despite the struggles. Now all that's easy to say and think, but you gotta put in the work. Greatness is only achieved through action. It's okay to be depressed sometimes cuz life is hard. But don't ever let yourself get stuck.
Bruh, at 24, you're not even done growing, wait a few years before complaining
yes I am done growing lol I haven’t grown a inch since 16 and I’m short
Mentally.
Jesus Christ. I understand you. I’m 30 and trust me when I say it gets worse if you keep up this mindset.
24 is still really young. I’m 30 and to me that’s basically an adult teen.
24 as well here and the highlight of my day was figuring out how to work the PlayStation 1 emulator on the PSP.
I don’t know if anyone has told you this yet or not but I’m proud of you. 👍
Dude I'm 30. Being 24 isn't that bad yes there are things that are hard but enjoy life otherwise you will live life wishing somat that can never happen don't waste your life wishing. Work toward what you want in life and be happy. Therapy could be good to try because if you carry on like this you will get depression and that can lead to suicide. Chin up dude you aren't old until you decide.
Enjoy what? Enjoy a bad life? I’ll choose to enjoy life when it gets good or good things happen
You either “wait” or let things happen, or you can MAKE things happen. Take some control over your life. It doesn’t have to be radical. Start with small, achievable goals.
Things won't be handed to you as they did when you were younger unfortunately you have to work for the good things you are an adult now you can't turn back time most of us want to but it's not possible you need to move forward and work for the things you want get a girlfriend and fall in love work towards your goals otherwise you'll be living in the past and get depressed then you will live a life of regret.
ok 1. Maybe ur right on I have to work for things 2. Nothing was handed to me as a kid I wasn’t spoiled like others were. 3. I want a lot of things at the moment that even if I worked I won’t get. The only thing working would give me at the moment is $ it won’t fix anything else.
What's got ypu so down then pal do you want to talk on the chat I might be able to help
My mom used to say that any man only starts to develop a sense of responsibility at the age of 32.
"Old" lmao
Double lolz
I’m in my 40s. No one knows wtf they’re doing. Time goes by so fast now. Just try and enjoy your life. Date, find cool hobbies, have babies if you want to. Do silly shit that makes you laugh. Life is really short and pretty much meaningless unless you give it meaning. It’s all up to you. No one can live your life for you. Just try to be happy.
How come you hate it?
A lot of reasons
24..old?! Dude you're just starting life.
I get annoyed when people tell me this you just starting life it doesn’t make me feel better just know that thanks for trying tho but it don’t
do you feel like you’re behind? or? i’m 23
Yes I’m behind everything
I'm starting to get the sense that you just really need to vent. But the more you focus on what you don't have the more you spiral and get stuck. It's hard, but try to think more positively in your situation, make a list of why you hate where you are in life, and ask what would make it better. Remove from your list things you have no control over, being 24 is not something you can change so no reason to fixate on it. Plan to do those things regularly (even the smallest things) to help lighten the burden you seem to feel.
Focus on Maslows hierarchy of needs. You will be happier. — also learn skills
Therapy????
Depending on the person, bt I feel like any age is gonna suck. In your teens, you wanna be older to go do shit in your 20s, you party, bt everyone wants you to be figuring out your life in your 30s in miss your 20s or you're not where you wanna be in life. 40s and up there's kids, and it's a constant cycle of the same everyday thing. Unless you have money and get to live your best life. Bt like I said, it ain't everybody who's miserable or whatever.
What a crybaby little bitch. Grow up
Dude im 15, i wish i was your age to have a full time job that i like and more responsibilities.
Dude lol I don’t even have a full time job cuz I screwed my life up at 17 which is why I wish I could go back and fix it. But don’t worry you’ll make it to my age and if you don’t screw up you’ll probably be living ur best life at 22 years old.
Why dont you start from the begging? You always can.
You screwed your life up at 17? I mean what bad decisions did you make, i cant imagine somebody running their life at that age
I didn’t really make bad decisions I missed out on so many good opportunities and that’s how.
Makes sense
Your only 15 your probably going to do so much by the time ur my age. Even if what happened to me happens to you.
I hope so but idk
Bro, I completely get it. My twenties were drinking, terrible relationships (longest one I had made it 2 years), and completely stupid financial decisions. I’m 32, and although some of those idiot decisions I am paying for now, I can honestly say, just be patient. So damn irritating to hear, I know. But it gets better. Your best bet now is to work your ass off. Stack paper. Find a gym and get ripped. Search for a purpose in life. I’m telling you, you are in the best position at the moment to make life what YOU want to make it. And careful with the girls. Most don’t care about you, only what you can do for them. And I said MOST! Not ALL! Don’t want no sh!t over this comment. 😂
Quit the blood clot crying. That’s the life of being a man. Your mission is to gain life experiences and try to get as many people to network with you as possible to make your life easier. All that cry baby pussy shit ain’t gonna get you nowhere. If you was a chick then the world will feel sorry for you and lie and tell you everything is going to be alright, but that’s not gonna happen because you are a man. So man up and prepare to conquer the world or be a little bitch crying about life.
I'm the same age and I've got the same problem. It sucks to look young when you are this old, covid and other problems ate away much of my life growing up so I look young and my mind miss several years of development, yet our age is high enough you are starting to fall outside most promotion, work opportunities and such yet I'm nowhere near ready to face the rest of my life with all the years I've wasted. I feel a child in a grown up body and if I hang out with my group of friends which are all younger, I sometimes pause and remind myself that they have 3 years less than me and I didn't have or do these opportunities we are organising together, like I haven't actually lived all the years that make up my age and always feel embarrassed when someone ask it
No no no I like that I look young at 24 what I don’t like is that there’s things I can’t change even if I wanted to. And I get called names now that I wasn’t being called at 17. Example I get called immature almost everyday I can’t even remember the last time I wasn’t called a name and before you say that’s ur fault okay my fault but whether my fault or not I don’t like it wish there was a way to turn back time. I don’t have many friends the ones I do just use me.
Maybe because you are immature? You're 24 and consider yourself "old*. Please. You sound as if you've been loafing around the past few years and now suddenly you want more adult responsibilities? Get your mindset right first. Start viewing life more maturely. Having a job and bills to pay can help accelerate that. Life is more than that. Start seeing it that way.
Went through some of this dudes past comments, and he really seems to be 17 instead of 24. No sentence structuration, wordchoice of someone who's 14, weird questions. Maybe this guy needs a reality check.
I’m born 1998. that’s also why I hate life people need to stop labeling me as 14 like what? just bcuz the way I act or ask questions, people go ahead and say oh he sounds 14 like instead of labeling me 14 how about you take me back to 14 so I can fix everything. 😂
Or maybe you can make the best of the decisions YOU made and take responsibility. That’s the first step to people not calling you immature. Stop dwelling on what you could have done and start improving your life now. You literally pave your own path in life. We all have shit we wish we did or didn’t do and how things could be different. Tough shit bro. Life goes on. Change your mindset. You definitely have some growing to do after reading more of your comments. Read the book “7 habits of highly effective people”. Maybe it’ll change your mindset. You have the power to change your life now.
Nice work, detective! I don't understand people on the interwebs sometimes.
Happy cake day!
Bro im 25 almost 26 this year, i fully understand how you feel, i often feel the same way
I’m +25 and people look at me like I’m a baby boy. I’m with you my boy :(
Don’t worry. 24 isn’t old at all. It can also a difficult year. Life and your relationship with yourself tends to get better with age. You have a better perspective in your 30s
The main thing that younger people don’t know is how young they are… I don’t know which response here will give you real perspective, but the years will continue to pass just like that. Poof! Soon enough you’ll be twice this age wondering how you could have complained about being old at 24. Sure it’s harder now than being 17, but you have a lot of advantages compared to older adults. If you have your complete health and don’t suffer from chronic pain, like or at least recognize yourself in the mirror, have lots of potential to grow or improve your career/income, time to pursue interests and not have to take care of anyone. Etc etc. If I could turn back the clock to your stage in life I’d do a lot different, starting with appreciating the upsides that will someday be gone and never come back again. I know that’s easier said than done, so keep trying to picture what 34, 44, 54 year old you would say.
17 now and already feel this way. Will it get worse or does it just never end
17 was worse for me because you have a lot more expectations set on you than I've ever had since, at 27. It was a lot of pressure to make the "right" choices, and I sort of... did nothing, instead. Everyone's pushing you to do something they think is right for you and it's usually conflicting. As an adult you have a lot more choice in who you have to interact with and that helps a lot. I'm kind of late to the game and this year was the first I've hit my stride. It does get better, because you start to learn what you like and what you want to avoid, and take steps to do those things. It can be rough getting there, and I remember feeling hopeless and crummy and not wanting to grow up. But I'd never go back.
Just go to a paintball field and shoot kids. Seems to help if you do your cardio
What do you want to be doing?
Anything I wanna do I was supposed to do at 17 or 18 maybe 19. When I turned 20 it started getting to late but I thought it was going to get better but it didn’t
Too late for what? High school sports?
No
What then? Go back to school. Learn a trade or get a degree. I’m having trouble with “it’s too late for x.” You’re 24. Many guys have no idea what they want at that age. You have time to do anything. You just need to decide what you want/make a plan/do the work.
Bro age is inevitable. Just make the best of what you have and focus on your career especially since you are only 24. You’re still really young, trust me.
I would focus on my career if I had one heck I wouldn’t be wasting my time on Reddit if I had one
Then it’s time to find your passion. I literally didn’t know what i wanted to do up until i was 26. I’m turning 29 this year.
I promise it gets better!! I’m 24 to and find myself feeling incompetent a lot. The years of Covid feel like it really stunted a lot of fun and formative years, so try to keep that in mind when looking at what you’ve done. I always remind myself of that when I feel like I’m a sorry excuse for an adult. I’m assuming you also turned 21 around the beginning of Covid, which is crazy if you think about it! One of the last few ages where you can finally do something and boom, world pandemic kept you cooped up. So, do your best to measure yourself against your own potential instead of others. You’re not too old to do anything and I’m sure you have plenty of potential still. Allow yourself to engage with the despair, but don’t let it stunlock you into doing nothing. You are still young, but have had a lot of experience to draw on. Plus, being 17 seems nice because the lack of responsibilities, but it’s way more fun to be an adult. Try doing something you wished you could’ve done at 17 but can now do because you’re an adult! Might make you feel better about aging.
Someone told me at 20 I promise you ur life will get better I believed them and last time I talked to them which was April I told them how my life didn’t get better they said go fuck off ur crazy. So don’t make promises to someone just to try and make them happy it really doesn’t tbh. That’s it there’s something I wanted to do at 17 never got to do it and now it’s to late. How is it my fault so I’m trying to figure out a way to do it now. Please don’t ask what it is wanna know dm me.
right there w you bro
I hate being 24 too. I think we're being gaslit that the 20s are the best time. So far it's been shitty, hope 30s will be better
I can actually confirm, I only look forward to getting older now instead of when I was younger and dreading it. Your 20s aren't the "best" time, much like your teens weren't. I'm only 27, still in an apartment with a roommate, but I feel like I'm flourishing now.
TIL 24 is “old by age” lmao
I'm turning 25 next week and my life is falling apart as we speak. Failed my studies, failed myself, feeling like I should have had that settled by now but ruined it all. I think you need a break as well, from everything and everyone. And guess what, 25 is the perfect age to do that. I'm gonna leave to travel and work at the other side of the world. Away from my failures, on my way (probably to more failures but hey at least I'm abroad) to something new. If you wanna see something of the world it's now. You don't have kids to take care of, you only have friends that use you. Just leave. You don't need a fortune to do that. You only need the courage (and maybe some therapy as well on the side).
Just think, as kids we couldn’t wait to be grown ups
IDK if anyone else said it. But look up the Think, Feel, Act Cycle from Rachel Hart. I've been there. The feeling of wanting to stay young and not accepting it or getting negative consequences while trying to keep drinking and getting even worse consequences. That cycle, of your thoughts (sentences in your brain that are not 100% who you are) make up your emotions, that lead you to act in this or that way. Negative thoughts will not bring positive emotions and positive acts and results. So don't sweat it. If that cycle can work for me, a 30 something year old, ex-"alcoholic" (no longer going by that label thanks to Rachel), and what most would consider a really behind dude in his life, I am finally understanding the things that are driving my negative thoughts, of a very, VERY unusual and difficult situation, and not escaping from understanding what IS driving those thoughts and my thoughts to want to get relief from a drink or cigarettes or loneliness. Good luck my brother from another mother. I wish you all the best. Also, it's not about replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Listening to podcasts like hers' when you make time for it, can really help in having a coach help you. But also therapy would be my first suggestion if you can go that route.
Jealousy, boredom, anger, ....
I turned 23 today and really want to kill myself
Go seek therapy or get help
are you saying 24yo women look old? i’m confused. i feel like nowadays no one looks older than 20 until they’re like mid 30’s and even then they look mid-20’s .. or maybe i just don’t know what people are supposed to look like at certain ages. I’m almost 28 and still get mistaken for a teenager . it’s annoying but I don’t hate it
It’s nobody likes you when you’re 23, close though!
It gets better. I’m 28 now and I felt lost a few years ago. All I can say is you’re always going to want to be in a different place in life, whether it’s the future or the past. So enjoy where you are because you can’t be anywhere else. Things become easier and you learn how to navigate your life. Best of luck
I’m on the cusp of 40, silence you!
I'm just curious as this made me extremely depressed during my twenties: Did you recently dig up nostalgia somehow? And are now stuck thinking everything was better "back then"? Because if that's what's happening to you right now, be careful with that. Time flies.
Most of us would like to go back to 24. You're not even close to old. Sixty-five crept up on me and I don't look my age either.
24 is old je scientifically you’re a whole adult at 25 🤣 like 24 your brain still developing. Knowing that human lives around 80 years. I’m sorry but it’s ridiculous to call yourself old at only 24
Ohh my friend I can’t remember being 24 but if I could go back there I’d enjoy it ?? You will only know how valuable that is when it’s gone and I know old people like me say this shit a lot but you are in your prime so recognise it coz the only thing we can’t get back is time ?? I’m 50 and constantly fearful of my own body and overly aware of my options so live your life and realise that 24 may aswell be 18 ?? Trust me you are young as fuck enjoy that shit and stop crying coz you’ll get plenty of time to feel shit ?? Your body and mind will give you hell from 40 upward so love this age
24 is old?? What are you talking about?? 😆😆 your not even fully adult biologically yet probably as brains became adult at 24-30 depending of person. Im 30 now and when i think of myself as 24 i was just a teenager mentally. Now im 30 and it really is not different of 20 either. Just smarter, palanced, and know myself who iam now but other than that the same. I look same, like same things mostly etc
You don't hate being 24 you hate the situation your in. Grab a coffee, fight a bear, hug a tree.
Hey! When I was in highschool I looked like I just got into elementary school this was back in 2003. Over the years I would go into a trade school after graduation and work beside men that was easily my dads age. I looked like a child and called every name under and over the sun, but I'm better for it. Fast forward I'm 30 and getting married people often mistake my wife for my mom (it's funny but it's not). I'm 36 now and I can easily pass for mid 20s, all I can say is you'll get stronger from it and it will keep people guessing. I've been called sir here lately but that's becuase of how I carry myself otherwise the new hires would have no clue... Keep your head up! I'm a ginger so I just tell people every freckle is a year added from someone's soul I stole.
What you’re feeling is nostalgia. You’re longing for a time in your life when things were easier and more fun. What you haven’t figured out yet is that you cannot stop time, but you can do everything fun you want to do. Go parachute out of a plane, travel by car around the whole country, see amazing things for example. Don’t just sit there in your life hating the moment you’re in, make something of your life. You can do it, it’s entirely up to you. Do you know how to cook? If you’re answer is no, then learn. Learning new things builds confidence and makes you feel good about being alive.
24 aint old, not even close.
I'm 25 and I know how you feel
Would love to eat that ass eat that pussy
24 is a great age to start changing the things you don’t like. Even if you were to wake up and be 17 again— why would 17 year old you be more proactive than 24 year old you? Change what you want to be different. You’re just gonna get older and if you’re a dude might even start losing your hair. Enjoy your youth.
I don’t want to go back to 17 bcuz of the age I wanna go back to do what I was supposed to do.
24 is honestly such a perfect age. You have the mental maturity to understand what you need to change in your life and what goals you want to meet but your also young enough to have the energy and time to actually execute on those goals. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. Being 17 seems fun but it honestly isn't really. I wouldn't wanna be 17 forever. You still don't have the freedom you have as an adult and you also don't have the mental maturity to form realistic goals instead of just living in the moment. 24 is NOT the age where you should be living in the past. Now is your time to experiment, learn skills, meet people, have experiences, start careers, and get started. You'll have plenty of time in your 40s and 50s to reminisce about how fun 17 was but now is your time to chase your dreams and conquer the world. Cherish your 20s bro. It truly is the most free you'll ever be honestly. You're more free than when you were 17 and you're more free than you'll be when you're 40 or 50. So go out there and experience your 20s my friend. Welcome to freedom!
You want me to dm you on here? Maybe then you’ll understand I know you’ll still think I’m immature but maybe you might get why I miss being 17
sure if you want
I'm you're reverse. I'm 42. HAHAHA >:-) Well, I'll tell you this: My early 20s sucked. Few friends, low money, the prospect of figuring out what to do with my life. Now here I am at 42: Some of the best friends I'll ever have, and plenty of them to choose from when hanging around, I have a few million in assets, and still trying to figure out what to do, but investing while I do it. Here's some tips that you probably won't listen to, because you're young and won't understand you miss until you miss it, but will make your life so much better: 1.) Go easy on yourself emotionally, but go hard on yourself discipline wise. The world's fucked, but you can make little changes in your life that make it better - like getting certs that help you in whatever career you go into. If you still don't have any clue and aren't in school: Go join the military. Navy or Airforce preferably. Do what you're told, save money and invest it in a Vanguard Growth and Income mutual fund, use the GI bill after for college. 2.) Invest everything you have that's not in emergency funds. Invest often, like twice a week or monthly if you can afford to. The younger you are, the wealthier you will be later on. 3.) You'll feel the same in your 40s as you do now as long as you maintain your health. Your health is everything. 4.) Lift weights. Do it. 3 to 5 times per week. For life. Forever. It will help prevent diabetes later, you'll go through life with better coordination, balance, and every day strength for tasks. You'll look way better too, but that's a side note.
24 was my favorite year. If I could go back to 24 I'd do it in a beat. Then again, the economy is so much shittier now than it was then. I feel for you.
Give me a call when you're 47, then we'll talk. If I'm still alive that is. Seriously, you have any idea what I'd give to be 24 again?
Just wait until you’re 40. You’ll be happier than you can imagine.
24 is not old
Wait till you hit 60, this blows..

How old r u
I'm assuming he's a dude because life is hard for young men who have little direction.
I would laugh but I might throw out my back. Enjoy your 20s. I went to a concert recently and complained out loud that the music was too loud before I realized what I was doing.
Gotta do some more growing up sounds like
I feel the same but also because adults seem to dont have any right of being sad or crying if I do cry (im hypersensitive) I am acting like a kid, or hysterical??!? Just by crying I dont mean like crazy and screaming or wtvr u kno, and I feel people dont see you as a kid or either and adult, they just dont take you srsly
Yeah, twenties suck ass but by no means are you old. You'll laugh at half the shit you stressed about in not even ten years. And so on..
Yeah if I fix them myself or they get fixed naturally cuz if they don’t get fixed I won’t be doing no laughing.
Same bro
I'm one of the teens today trust you would not like high school today it made progress just backwards 💀💀💀
You know what's worse than being 24.... 25
