I hate this life

[NightTimeForever]

I really, really do. Drove through Mcdonalds tonight and saw in the window a bunch of teenagers smiling and talking. I realized that part of my life is gone and I'll never get it back. The best part of my life is gone!

Really, everything after 21 is downhill IMO. I wish I was dead already. It's not like I have any pleasant memories to keep me happy. No, just utter shit.

the "best part" of your life? i missed the years when teenagers rebel, which most consider the "best time" of their life. i'm thankful i missed them...i've in the post-agoraphobic stage, and often fall in depression and hate the world often. by the world, i dont mean humans. just how this world is, etc. erm, i feel awkward..

Yeah I never really had the 'teenage life' either, and I'm starting to miss it now that I'm in college. Some say old age starts to set in at 23, and your prime is at 19. If you've been alone all your life up until 23 I might be very said. I might be. You don't have to, but I might have to.

 

[NightTimeForever]

agh, I feel so depressed and paranoid. Sometimes I wonder what's the point in continuing this shit.

 

[Remus]

I'm at that point too at the moment, I have been a victim of unfortunate circumstance which has resulted in the worst kind of depression, I've been having some kind of mini breakdown the last few months, usually I get blips, pick myself up and get on with it but as I've become disabilitated since my injury its so hard to keep positive, my poor scocial life has ground to a halt also, I dont even talk to people anymore on messenger, I tend to stick to the odd comment on facebook and that requires so much effort too

I really hate to say it, but it does kind of seem like it's mostly downhill after you turn 21 (which I will do in a few weeks). I suppose it's because that's about the point that you're permanently weighed down with the sort of responsibilities you always saw your parents tirelessly stressing over as a kid. You're not a child any more and the world has expectations of you that you never imagined. Then you realize just how much of a balancing act adult life really is. One little slip up and you could go tilting over and never be able to get your footing again.
But on the upside you do get more freedom. Well, sort of.

Haha, I quoted my own post. Genius.

I was so depressed in college seeing pretty, social and happy kids my age everywhere. I wondered why I couldn't be like them... I feel that I've wasted my teen years.. And now ever trying to be better seems stupid at times. Like what the fuck's the point, I've already missed out on what were supposed to be the best years of my life.

With my twenty first now (a fair way off) in the rear view mirror, I can offer some glimmer of hope...I hope!

The truth is, life can actually get pretty great the older you get. I actually prefer the way I see the world now, compared to how I did back in my teens. I understand things better and I understand myself better. I'm also aware that as each year passes I'm getting closer to my grave, so I don't obsess too much over the things that caused me sleepless nights when I was seventeen. You understand the "bigger picture" a lot better. You know what I mean?

You do lose things, it's true. Loved ones die, friends depart...but what we lose we can also create. We can always make new friends, travel to new places, see new things. Life's journey doesn't end because of a number.

I love the wisdom that the passing of years have given me...though, if I'm completley honest, I wish I still looked the way I did when I was twenty one! That's the only thing I miss about my youth...flawless beauty!

I still look youthful and care about my appearance, but it does require a bit of effort, whereas back then it didn't require any effort at all!

I think I view youthfulness as the ultimate access point to socialization, and I seem to notice the opposite in older individuals. When you're young, you're full of energy, desire, and passion, things that push you into the maelstrom of people. Old age just seems lonely.

Life really has just gone downhill for me. I'm 20 years old.
Recently I've started to think about what I've missed out on and I wonder why I could never be like the other kids.

I feel.. I feel like I'm still 14. Everything suddenly got turned upside down.

With all the expectations I can't imagine how I can have a "normal" life without having settled with the past.

Every day I'm just plain afraid to go outside and to socialize altogether.

You know, I just can't help thinking life is going to continue letting me down somehow. If I ever reach 40 what will life be like?

Somebody kill me already..

What's so great about being a teenager? I think the "teen life" is silly. I can't wait til I turn 21!

 

[Falling_in]

i am 21 i feel exactly the same

i think i missed this teenage life it's so important it will teach how to be more socialized more aware of the society u live in u will have experiences stories to tell man i really regret everything

i seem very old like 40 years old , i really hate the life i had

I actually felt old and used up when I was 21 too, but I'm younger now. That's because you're at the tail end of one life (childhood, school, living with your parents). You haven't started on your next life yet so you can't see it.

I think I view youthfulness as the ultimate access point to socialization, and I seem to notice the opposite in older individuals. When you're young, you're full of energy, desire, and passion, things that push you into the maelstrom of people. Old age just seems lonely.

If that's true, why is my 64 year old dad out running races, playing softball, volunteering for all sorts of stuff in the community, and making tons of social contacts while I'm sitting here being lonely at 28? For that matter, my grandparents are pretty socially active.

So i used to think this way "i lost my teens, poor me", sometimes i do think... but what's that good for? i'm going to screw my live for now on because of that?

each person is a diferent has diferent experiences, each life is lived diferently we shouldn't compare to other persons , at least not this way, we should start living our own lifes...

I woke up this morning HATING my life too.

and its weird because just another night this week i was so happy... I remember going to sleep thinking how good i felt about life and how close I was to God.
It can drastically change. I know attitude is everything, but honestly the most crappy days i have, its usually due to the interactions i had with people and how intentionally rude and critical they are. How some people are so capable of disrespecting some one, and going OUT OF THEIR WAY to ruin your day just cause they hate life so much.
I thought of this the other day after some one in my building on campus was so disrespectful to me (I would never say this to anyones face)... I just thought, "Does being an a hole give you some kind of gratification? I doubt it cause im sure you still hate ur life"
haha...thats why i would never say it. but you know its so true about some people. "Misery loves company" is so true.
I am not paranoid, it just happens to me all the time. I am not trying to be "the victim" here, its just how i feel.

 

[Reholla]

I also googled "what to do when you hate your life"

and there was one that lists excuses give when they hate their lives. I could pretty much talk myself out of believing most of them, but this one got me:

10. You let others get to you

You may hate your life because you listen too much to others. Don’t listen to naysayers and negative opinions. Don’t let others make you hate your life. Most of the time those who make you feel that way, hate their own lives.

-----------

Its like yeah, but try living it out like that. I WANT to not listen to negative opinions, but I am seriously subjected to negative opinions EVERY day... I mean I have negative interactions with people ALL the time. And i really try not to make it so personal, but its hard WHEN THEY already make it like a PERSONAL attack. Seriously... i have had 2 personal attacks in the elevator from strangers in the past 2 weeks. Thats only in an ELEVATOR. Think about all the other oppourtunities outside of a frickin elevator where most stangers just say "hi" or "what floor" on.. it is for real every day. If you know how to not let peoples RESENTMENT towards you (and their own life) get to you, please let me know. I would love to know this secret.

Yeah being young really brings memories. Same thing with me too (19 years old) and I still feel and look young at my age. I guess I refused to grow up because of my past.

I just don't get it, it's all a downhill slide from here. And i have not memories of my youth to keep me happy. Life's a waste at this point IMO.

I don't think that's true. I think your teenage years are the WORST part of your life. I hate being a teenager. Your stuck between becoming an adult and being a kid. Very confusing. The social aspect of being a teenager is lame. Everyone is far up their own asses. Be glad your older and past all the trivial crap that comes along with being a teenager.
