r/youngadults

I'm 20, turning 21 next month, and I genuinely never used to see people in that age range as “young young.”

I don't see them that way now either, even though I'm obviously getting closer to those ages myself.

When I was 12, I didn't think 20 was old at all. But I remember thinking anything over 25 was old as fuck. 😂

Now that I'm actually in my 20s, my perspective has completely changed. 25, 27, 30, etc. don't seem old to me whatsoever. But I also wouldn't call them young.

They're just... adults.

And I think that's how I see my own age now too. 20 isn't old, but it's also not “young” in the way being 12, 15, 17, or even 19 feels. I'm just an adult now, and I'm getting increasingly comfortable with that distinction.

I'm 19F and I literally have no passion, no hobbies and nothing even remotely interesting about me. I don't have the motivation to do anything. I just want to know how I can create that motivation or find something to do with my life. I'm tired of moping around and complaining that I have nothing to do with my life, I wanna do something. But I don't know how to even get started on finding that something.

Thinking of making my come back but I don't know

I just turned 18 here in the Philippines and I honestly feel like I don't really know what I'm supposed to do next. I want to start becoming more independent and hopefully build a good future for myself, but I don't know much about adult responsibilities, money, jobs, investments, or even what I should prioritize first. For those who are older or have already gone through this stage, what are some things you wish you knew or did when you first turned 18? Any tips, advice, or mistakes I should avoid?

Currently Studying at National University aswell as a Civil Engineering Student, but I'm planning on shifting to Ba Communication so that I'll be able to do time management more better.

at 18 i was still incredibly immature and reckless but god in just one year it feels like my amygdala has gotten bigger or something i feel like im going through a second spiritual awakening . i don’t know what it is but i’m able to make way more rational decision and i can feel that ive matured and i am becoming an adult like i feel it happening . im still a teenager technically so this just feels weird to me . at this point i cannot wait until im 20 and get my teen years over with because im done being a teenager . my teen years were a shitshow and i was miserable through it the entire time , next chapter , please !

Hi I am turning 22 in a 1/2 hour and I have no idea on what I should do I live in NC and try to be more open to new things and meet more people?
