Turning 18
I am turning the age 18 in a few months and I feel so stressed and heavy in my heart. It's hard to comprehend that I am turning a legal adult with more responsibilities upon me especially considering the fact that I am still basically the carefree teenage 15yr girl reading yaoi in her room all day. I haven't made much improvement in my life I can even say that it got worse, not in the sense that I am depressed or anything but my social skills got so much worse, I barely have friends i keep in touch with. Life is moving so fast for me and I don't even have any stable plans for my future, I'm also so average in my studies I'm hopeless in the academic line. Please feel free to give me an advice as I am so lost in this game of life with no purpose and no direction to follow
Legally you're an adult but mentally? no! i turned 18 last year and it was pretty much of a rollercoaster ride for me much less because of the amount of people i lost and how many mistakes i made and uhm stuff. But it's like okay, you're not magically supposed to be this "super mature" person like tbh i struggled with boundaries because i forgot im...... 1 reply
i dont have great advice as a loser 22yo but man when i hit 18 i got so delusional over this idea that i had to do everything perfectly and completely alone. but literally every time i go to a new place i have to interact with ppl and ask them how shit works. and that's honestly the good part of things, i get built-in social interaction. there are ...... reply
From personal experience when I turned 18 I thought that everything would change and people would treat me differently but absolutely nothing changed. I get feeling overwhelmed but if you have close family and friends I doubt you'd feel any different from when you were 17. And I get not having stable plans for the future but no one knows what's gon...... reply
Im turning 20 this year. Looking at everyones instagrams from my highschool classmates, Im astonished by how much everyone changed. When we graduated I did not feel ready at all. I never did feel ready but yet I was still plunged into decision after decision. Of course theres people who hold the reigns to their lives. But I think being dragged ahea...... reply
As someone who is legally an 18 year old adult for 2 weeks, a girl, a yaoi lover, socially inept, has no talents whatsoever, is an idiot, has only a vague plan for what I want to do in the future and my life is basically crumbling to the ground, let me tell you, nothing changed, I’m the same depressed bitch that I was 2 weeks ago.

We’re the same age i think (i’m turning 18 in a few months as well) and i felt the exact same was last year and the past few years in general. I felt like my life was just flying past me and leaving me behind. Everyone else was doing something crazy like travelling or going to parties or even js events to help them academically whilst I sat in ...... reply
Actually having less to no friends is a good thing, at least during this time. Remember they're your classmates not friends. Please please don't procrastinate and focus on whatever you like. You don't need to be some 260 IQ genius to be successful. Diligence and hardwork always beat talent. I can't say I'm any better than you but I have a clear vis...... reply
