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?
Hey !

Btw, I'm 26 now. I had the same parents, well no, much like I still have the same parents. I will not trauma dump either, even if a there are a lot of things related to what I've been through.
But, hey, I'm making it, little by l...... reply
I totally get you my parents used to control everything I did too. I couldn’t do anything without their permission, and it drained all my motivation. Things started to change once I moved out and finally got to live freely, like a butterfly finally out of the cage.As for seeing yourself with someone, I can’t really answer that either. I’m dat...... reply
I feel like that when I was your age. It will..Life will still be difficult in one way or another but the older you get the more likely you are to be independent and build your own life. However when I was in that state I did have to learn a lot of things like getting therapy or sometimes simply pushing myself. Life will definitely get better but y...... 1 reply
yes, and i'm going to give practical advice.
i think that, depending on where you are and your social position, you may be missing to see see that you have a lot of power & options. i think first and foremost, you sound like you've been through a lot and you may be going through burnout, starting to have a mental breakdown, or you're experiencing...... reply
you need to find happiness in the small things like taking a walk, eating your favorite food, cleaning your room, watching the sunset, feeding cats, donating if you can, watering plants, reading 1 page from a book. These are all things that make me feel like at least i did something worth it today that makes me feel good about myself. reply
As a 21 year old myself, that has went thru a lot of heartbreaks, yes life will get better. Even when you think life is getting at you, it's part of the process really. For the strict parents part, I'm not encouraging you to do the same as others that have strict parents but from what I have seen the only way to get things past them is literally ju...... reply
Sometimes it will seem like it's not, sometimes you'll be confused about what it was, but it will actually get better, and you'll realize that all the good and bad things that happened to you were worth it, and maybe in an unexpected time you'll find what you were looking for and you'll be glad to be alive 2 reply
