How different would YOU and your LIFE be RIGHT now?

:?:

talk awayyyy peeps~

I'd have started to practice a musical instrument 5+ years ago and had been in a band by now?

Maybe.

I'd have lost my virginity at age 14 and not been a sexually frustrated 23 ye old VIRGIN. LOL

I'm working in all those areas though. Luckily I started to go back to school 2 yrs ago and I have about 2 yrs left to be done. I'll be a CPA by age 26 YAY. I'm barely starting to practice the guitar, and if I get good, I'll try to start a band, just for some side fun.

 

[Oscelot]

Unbelievably different.

I'd actually have a life. Wouldn't have lost all my freinds. Would be in college. Wouldn't have quit my job. Wouldn't be living with parents. Would drink less. Would be able to collaborate musically more. Might even have a girlfriend. Oh well.

14 is way too young.

This question is really depressing for me because it makes me think about the "what if's," & that's not a good thing to do. but, my life would be totally, completely different, in all areas.

I would have gone to college after high school, instead of just starting on Tuesday at the age of nearly 27.

I would have met people more like myself, so I wouldn't be so alone in being me.

I would have moved out & had my own place by now, most likely.

I would hopefully be out of this state, or at least out of this city.

I would have been in a relationship.

I would be in one now, maybe for life.

I would have friends.

I would have either already finished my master's degree or at least be very close to it.

Me & my mom (whom I take care of) would be in a much better situation, financial, & otherwise.

My relationship would be better with my dad & my extended family members... then again, it could be much worse.

Everything in my entire life would be completely different, for the better.

Most people I grew up with lost it when they were 14-15. And I was pretty close to getting it at that age. I was responsible though, I would have used a condom and what not LOL. Whatever though; there's enough "SLUT/WHORE" spam threads going on right, so I don't really want to talk about it.

 

[RiiyaX]

[Gone for good.]

 

[freestylemonster]

I'd have tons of friends because I'm so nice and funny and friendly..I'd probably ave a beautiful girlfriend that I'd be completely in love with and I'd party hard every weekend without getting absolutely wasted

that would be great...and my life WILL be like that..someday..

 

[danisky]

I would have had at least a boyfriend by now, and I would hang out with friends everyone once in a while.

But, yeah, things are not quite like that.

I know what you mean, I'm SICK of seeing those. If they continue as bad as they were, I'm going to leave the site for a few days to see whether they go away or not.

I grew up around people who lost their virginity even younger than that. One of my best childhood friends was only 13. I was made fun of for being a virgin when I was in the seventh grade. But 14 is still too young.

 

[Ubersonic2]

Actually I don't think my life would be all that different. I'd still be ugly and of average intelligence. Probably would still be living at home too.

I really don't think 14 is too young, as long as it's with people of a similar age and who are responsible. I never thought sex at 14 was a big deal, nor did anyone else at school. Most knew how to use a condom by that time. And furthermore, if I had a gf at that age, why wouldn't I get intimate with her? I mean, I did have a sex drive at that age.

If someone is mature, I don't see how it's early; there are fully grown adults who aren't mature and end up having kids they don't even know how or don't care about raising.

But the point I was making is that I'd have a girlfriend years ago, like some time during high school. Could be age 15, 16, or even 17... I haven't had a gf and I'm 23. It's not something I'm proud of, and quite frankly, I do desire all the aspects of a healthy relationship, which includes the sharing of intimate moments.

The reason I brought up the age of 14 is because it's when I first had my real chance at a gf and at sex, but I didn't go for it. lol I seem like such a phreak probably. Meh, who cares.

 

[Hoth]

Without SA I'd probably be working some awful job, have annoying superficial friends and maybe be just like them thanks to peer pressure, have suffered miserable breakups, have kids I'd be a mediocre parent to, and in general be a loser. That's why I'm thankful to have had SA.

 

[sleepysparrow]

Well, i'm really introverted and naturally quiet, I prefer a lot of other things over socializing so I think my life would pretty much be the same, besides having a friend or two and having a job. People scare me and they probably still would even if I didn't have SA.

I felt so happy when I read this, I always feel less of a freak when others appear to have the same issues Sometimes I wonder if there are matrimonial sites for weirdos like me. I so wish I could find an introverted and quiet partner. I could only be with a girl like me. That would be so awesome, but I have no hopes of finding one. All the people I know (including girls) are extremely confident, loud and extroverted types. I feel terribly inferior in their presence, therefore I avoid them..

 

[sleepysparrow]

^Those are just the girls that you notice because they are more obvious. There are lots of quiet, introverted girls but they are just hard to find because they keep to themselves. There's probably one looking for a guy like you right now.

 

[Argamemnon]

^Yes, there should be matrimonial sites for weirdos like me. That would make things easier, lol. Even though I'm the most introverted person on the planet, a true loner, I still would like to be with someone who is similar.

 

[BashfulDoll]

I'm naturally shy and introverted too [both of my parents were/are]. I would know how to drive [scared of being alone with the instructor :roll:
be in college
still have the friends i met in 8th grade
have a job
travel
felt more confident
wouldn't be afraid to leave the house

just be able to function like a normal person :x

 

[StuckGirl]

I'd be happy , be able to do things and still have my partner.
SA sucks all the life out of you. Add hating the way I look to the mix and it adds
up to utter misery
