To my 21+ yo peeps, does it get better?
I'm a 21 yo and I'm so sick of this fucking life bruh. I can't do shit because of my strict af parents who think I'll get murdered for walking in the sidewalk idk (i commute to work so idk what shit they're on). Anw, there's literally nothing I live for in this life. I have no motivation to do my hobbies and I can't bother making friends/form relationshps. I GENUINELY believe I won't find happiness in the future. Like, I FR don't see myself with anyone in the future. I'm lowkey on my last straw. The only thing keeping me together is the fact that Ill be graduating next month, but I don't think that'll do much for me after.
So if you're ever felt this way, does it get better?
It gets sm better. Everyday I’m glad I held out. It may be difficult now but try your best to make friends now, it’s easier the younger you are. Good friends can save your life.
What helped me to continue hobbies was to treat them as habits rather than a skill. Played the guitar, badly, but hey - did it. Even if it was just 5 mins. I didn’t c...... 1 reply
so. i'm almost 40.
i was like you when i was younger. positive i'd die alone, feeling lost and like wtf is the point.
you never know what will happen in life. not gonna trauma dump, just say that the things i have now i never thought i would, and the things i thought i'd have my whole life, i lost. when you get to my age you realize it's ups and do...... reply
Yes, it gets better, you alao get stronger. I too wass too sheltered by my mother (father died) and stuff, but as you take every opportunity that life gives you, your circle starts growing bigger and you grow more confident and determinated. It's still way too early in life, and if we think about it, there's no much for pur generation too do beside...... reply
Your life improves when you decide to improve it or are forced into it. Life doesn't get better. Either you decide to mold it to your preferences or it stays as is. If you'll be graduating next month, that's already really good and a huge step. Next will be getting your own apartment. Some parents think that just because you are living under the sa...... reply
it’s def a struggle but YES it does get better. i highly recommend setting a goal for yourself to move out from your parents place if they’re so controlling - just working towards that goal can be hopeful and while living on your own comes with its own struggles, it’s SO NICE to be away from strict parents and have the freedom to take care of...... reply
As someone who is 22, tldr yeah it does eventually get better.
I didn't think I'd reach age 18, let alone surpass it. So, I ended up at some 3rd rate vocational school which I barely finished, all my friends moved away and most cut contact with me while I was working odd jobs here and there. Things were looking pretty bleak, the only thing I could...... reply
hii!
im only a teenager answering and honestly im kinda in a similar(??) situation, my parents dont even let me walk by my self to school or even trust me with a phone( i dont have one lmfao ) or literally let me go outside because they think ill end up as a bad person or wtver and honestly ive learnt to accept the fact i might not live up to my fu...... reply
U will trust me, I had the exact same thought process as u when I dropped out of med school and thought that I wouldn’t get anywhere but look at me in the marines thriving, so it will get better once u find something u enjoy and love and can do with a passion 3 reply
I am close to 30 and pursuing further education. Let me tell ya it is a mental struggle when dealing with failure and setbacks. Finding something small everyday that makes you happy wether that is getting out of bed, having a snack, changing clothes - can push you forward. The more aggressive way to keep going is PURE SPITE! Screw everything that f...... reply
