I don't understand why 15 years old are acting like 25 these days. Getting nose jobs at 18 19 getting botox in their 20s getting pregnant in their 20s. Whats up you guys? Get a chill.

*I will give you an example why I think this way!

***Now what we got? group of teenager below 18 having sex, getting pregnant, getting drunk, having multiple relationships at 16. (Outer Banks, My Life with the Walter Boys, Elites, never have I ever, sex and the education, ginny and georgia, heartbreak high, Maybe, My Fault) same story!

***Question: what they are feeding us? That unemployed and unmarried people in their 20s are actaully FAILURES?? OR DOESNT EXIST???

That people in their 30s get expired? There no virgin women who are 25? There no dumb looking guys who are 27, who are still hustling?

**** Or a 16 years old should wear a micro skirt so her thongs go on FULL SHOW. Or a 15 year old guy should get her anus penetrated in a locker room. WTF IS THIS GARBAGE?..

Because of what media is feeding us, people in their prime age like 20s are feeling they got no time and they are soon to be under the rock, or get crack, girls are getting work done on their faces as early as they get their legal IDs. Botox fillers and getting botched, looking 10× older than they are or on the other hand people are doing onlyfans because they think they are out of time, getting a degree is waste of time why not just show my genitalia and get a HARMES BAG as soon as possible doesn't matter if i dont know africa is continent or a country.

They just put a black character and a gay character to be relevant. And not to be forgotten (A fat character till ozempic wasn't out)

Other than that they are soo NOT relevant, what is relevant about a 18+ show where characters shown are actaully under 18? .

Hey all, im applying to a masters program for fall 2027 and i was reaching out to past professors i had for letters of recommendations. One of my professors agreed as long as i wrote the letter. I did it but it feels dirty. I was glazing myself in the letter, granted i didnt really lie about anything in the letter about my academic and work life. But i only had this professor for one class and he probably doesn’t even remember who i am. It just feels like an ass pull. 🤦

Hate living at home. Cant afford to rent tho. No hobbies. Everything looks and feels boring or scary. Im too anxious to do anything. To like anything. I hate sharing anything about myself with my family. Feels like im just stuck and stagnant for the past 4 years ive been doing university. Lost all my friends slowly. I cant make anymore. Idk shit about social life really. If im lucky ill be able to make acquaintances. Never friends. I suck at everything.

No hobbies, no ability to do anything, no hand eye co ordination or reaction time. Like I couldnt catch balls until I was like 14 and even then its usually only like 50% of the time im successful. Feel like a fuck up, people always get mad at me for mistakes I never make on purpose and I always end up apologising and trying to please them. Its pathetic on every level.

And its like as time goes on I get stupider. Simple tasks arent making sense to me anymore. When people speak english it sounds like gibberish. Then i ask them to repeat what they say like 5 times until they get sick of it. What the fuck is going on with my BRAIN????? I dont think I have common sense outside of the common sense I was taught or practised.

Last year I failed a module of uni and wasnt allowed to go into the next year unless I retake. I tried this year. Failed one assignment again. "No worries I can resit right?" Failed my resit. Now I have to retake this fucking module again but I have zero faith I can pass. I hate this course just because of that one assingment ngl. It feels like every improvement I make is actually ten steps back in reality and everyone wants to see me fail and laugh at me.

This isnt even going into my body dysmorphia or hatred of living in a religious household when im lgbt. I should have been aborted, true failiure. I could never be loved.

hey, just curious how much do u guys have saved up?

assets + savings

So I just turned 23 and I’d like to have some type of accomplishment under my name. I’m currently trying to figure out what I want to study in school. I’m just gonna study IT because it’s in high demand, and I have an interest in tech. However, I’d like to study something that brings tech and creativity together. I thought about graphic design, but I don’t think that’s in high demand. I really wanna get in bachelors in something, preferably something creative like acting. I’m into space science too so there’s that. Any advice?

For me, I’m still completely dependent on my parents, I live with them and rely on them financially. I don’t like it, but I don’t have many options..

What about you? Are you independent either financially or in terms of housing?

Were your teenage years as they’re often portrayed in the media, a wild time filled with parties, dating, hanging out with friends, doing reckless things, staying out all night, and just doing things for the sake of having fun without any other purpose?

Mine definitely wasn’t like that. It was a very boring period of my life, with no friends, no romantic relationships, no parties, and not much going on at all. Honestly, they were pretty dull and unpleasant years that I wouldn’t want to experience again.

What about you? Would you want to relive your teenage years?

Hello everyone! I’m a 23m for reference.

I live with roommates. I’m not one to complain and I genuinely hate feeling like a “victim”, and I think I harbor a lot of self hatred for the way I’ve been feeling lately. I work in sales, I’m making about 80-90k a year and quickly heading for 6 figure territory. I’m super stressed/depressed. I’m making great money for my age, but I’m spending anywhere from 1-2k a month on drugs. It just keeps getting worse. I’m headed for a collapse and it feels like all I can do is watch. I’ve grown very accustomed to the lifestyle I live and I can’t imagine taking this drastic of an income hit while I get my shit together.

My issue is that I’m fully dependent on drugs. Opiates to be specific. I’ve always had depression and very bad social anxiety (I’m diagnosed autistic when I was 21) and I cannot function unless I’m blitzed. My income drops to probably the 40-60k range if I’m sober. I just have such bad crippling social angst. I guess I’m just ranting. I don’t know. I know what the comments are gonna be. Anyways, anyone in a similar situation?

I don’t feel like I’ve aged at all, nor do I really feel like I’m in my 20s. In fact, when I think back to myself 10 years ago, during my teenage years, I’m completely convinced that I’m still the same person, with the same way of thinking, interests, and hobbies. The only real difference is that I have more responsibilities now and much less free time.

Do you feel the same way, or do you think you’ve changed significantly as you’ve gotten older?

2003 born people, where are you in life right now?
Job? College? Still figuring things out? Making money? Preparing for exams? Building something? Feeling completely lost?

Sometimes it feels like everyone else is ahead while we’re still trying to figure out what we’re supposed to be doing.

**How’s life treating you at 22–23?**

Have a social life, consistently push myself to get involved in tons of things even if I find it socially exhausting. Asked girls out, got lots of rejections. Stay fit, go to the gym, all that.

Gonna graduate single and enter a hyper male-dominated field. My only hope is dating apps, and they don't work for me.

No clue how people naturally find partners in real life anymore; I did the aforementioned things you should do in college, and it never seems appropriate to approach women in public. The reverse has never happened to me. And why would I expect it to? Personally, I would not like to be forced into a conversation with a stranger when I'm likely doing something, for no good reason.

Just venting, I truly don't know what real, tangible solutions there are for me. It feels like if you're born a bit awkward and/or weren't in the right place at the right time during your school years, you're just.. fucked.

I’m 195cm or about 6’5

I am 22 and am ALMOST done with my Bachelor of Biomedicine. I changed degrees in 2022 and did a prerequisite in 2023, so I’m finally on track to complete a degree.

What’s something you believe that most people might disagree with?

i feel like dating apps have just turned into a cesspool of people just wanting to hookup and everyone having wayyy too many options

Anyone else feel like you're forced to go out and stay out late? I'm female, and I just don't enjoy it, I feel like I made you myself but it's like 10:30 I want to be in bed, I'll stay up till midnight if I'm at home 💀 and like I'll say it, and my friends will be lile your young and this is the time but every time I go out I feel like I'm going to see myself to have fun, and end up coming home and feeling so drained. Anyone else feel similar?

Sometimes it feels like everyone has their life figured out except me. Some people already have their dream jobs, houses, or clear plans while I’m still figuring things out.

Did anyone else feel this way in their 20s?
