I have no social life in my 20s.
It’s days like these where I feel the lack of social life as people get together for activities like 4th of July and World Cup activities.
I don’t even know what people do on these days, have a bbq? Just go out? Fireworks? It’s the same with most holidays like St. Patrick’s day and cinco de mayo. I didn’t even know people celebrated these things until recently. But then of course, people look at any holiday as an excuse to have fun. It never occurred to me because I was used to not having much of a social life, so a holiday is basically the same as everyday for me. For others it’s something to look forward to and organize plans for, or just go out to a bar or something. I’m 26 but feel like a preteen.
I also keep seeing posts about World Cup watch parties, and how this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to go out and experience the vibe. I live near a city that hosted some World Cup games so there are a lot of World Cup festivities. Even my siblings went out for some, while I just watched some games on my phone and saw people experiencing fun watch parties on social media. What hurts more is that I’m 26 and am expected to have a friend group by now. If I wasn’t able to have one by now, it’s only gonna get harder as people get more established.
