    I'm 31 going on 32 in a little more than 4 months later from yesterday in January 2026. And I still can have troubles with being a young adult still that I am. Even with things I don't like, either. But they don't have to be that way and/or bad. I don't want to worsen anything too.

    I have this fear, I am now 28 already, and it literally did not seem that long ago since I was 18 or 19. And I also wasted my teenage life and my college years, which were the prime of my life, which I can never ever get back! 🙁 I am now on antidepressions due to my regrets from my college life leading me into depression

    I’m only 14 and every night I cry and think about how one day my parents will be gone and I’ll get old and die. And the crazy thing is my life won’t change a thing in the world. The world will keep spinning even as I’m gone. I’m not special or significant. It gets worse every day.

    I have no problem in growing old as long as i am growing with my favourite person but it didn't went as the way i thought it to.I felt in love with her at class 1(love at first sight),I loved her very much not bcoz of her looks but for who she is,i dont care what side you hide or what you dont show or you show,I love you for who you are but after 9 years i proposed,she rejected me saying i see you as just a friend,days passed i couldnt forget her,i cant stop thinking about her,i just wanted to love her,So again with a faint chance i started to try again bcoz she was all i wanted for life,i wanted nothing just her,Life is meaningless to me if she is not with me,and yeah after 2 years i got rejected again in class 11
    Thoughg i had some progress she liked me a little she also used to set songs in insta story but then it was just bcoz she felt sorry for me i guess,then again she suddenly stopped talking with me,not giving any songs,I had a bro who was good friends with her so he used to tell me what she is feeling,He told me please move on bro she doesnt have interest in you,What can you do if she dont have interest in you
    But i am just hanging in my life,i dont know where to go what to do
    From a very small age i just dreamt my entire life with her,i wanted to go adventures with her, experience life together,say happy birthday to each other,leave jobs and go for world tour etc etc etc
    And now peoples be saying like someday you will move on,tf you mean by move one
    I canr,i just cant
    Again i started seeing a slight hope(The hope that i am telling is the hope that i will create)
    But just thinking what if she gets annoyed
    Huh
    I believe in god but not trust like other like he will give me better something,he took for a reason
    I dont believe in this all
    I asked my entire youth to god only her and still doing
    And you think someone can replace her
    Never,never ever
    Just hanging onto life coz mom is there,dad is there
    And maybe maybe if i believe some miracle might happen

    nomatter what people say. people treat you differently in a negative way when you get old .
    there is nothing good of getting old.
    what people say good about getting old is delusional escapism in my opinion.
    just face your darkness and don't escape and feel the pain.
    then at least you don't become a narcissist.

    I can't even believe i'm 23 now… i know one day i'll miss these days but right no, all i feel is anxiet, and no one even understands me. So what? We all are just going to become older and older and sick (if you are lucky enough to live that long) and then die, and the world just goes on? What is the point …

    Im 26 now, I feel like I'm already 40, that I havent much time left before something happens, for the past month all I can think about is the knowledge that death is inevitable, but i feel fear imagining it, i imagine myself in my grandmothers body, in her bed, in her small apartment, knowing that any day Ill die and not be able to run from it. I dont think thinking of all the good things mindset is helping, because of cause I'll enjoy it, in that moment. But it won't stop the fact that one day I won't be able to outrun the event of dying, that I'll probably be concious for the duration. That I might jot be lucky enough to be asleep and if I am asleep would I be lucky enough to not be lucid. I wonder if its the fear of losing control, I dont think I'm as afraid of drying by gunshot, at least in that theres some falacy of control. I wonder if I'll ever stop feeling this fear or if the fear will stop following me throughout every day. I want to enjoy life, not be reminded every second of the un-outrunnable

    The part where he says that it's all fir nothing has always rang true for me. Iv'e always wondered why people bother to knock themselves out working 40+ hours a week, searching for a life partner and wanting to have children. In the end it all amounts to a complete waste of time.

    im only in school but im already really scared of it 🙁 Im trying my best to enjoy my youth but it will end anyway. Seeing my grandparents retirement looks really sad; i wish i could be young and active for longer so i’m really taking care of my health 😢

    I'm 22 and I feel like I had my mid life crisis at 14 when my father died. My reaction time is getting slower, I'm not good at my hobbies anymore. Yet life is suppose to start for me. I just got out of the tutorial and I feel like the game is already half way complete.

    turning 14 was so much hard for me, i even cried at night because we all are growing and getting old time is passing soo fastt i can't imagine that 2017 was 7 years ago and 2030 is just around the corner and sadly I'll be 20 years old in 2030..
    i wish, i could stop the time

    Im afraid I'll die alone.. I don't want to be alone, but I don't know how to not be? each time I'm getting older I feel like I need to make an improvement for myself, and I'm afraid I'm not making any. I'm just feeling pessimistic about the future, like what if I failed in life? what changes have I made? like, is there something to be proud of? but time just can't be stopped, it keeps going, so either way I need to make a quick change but I don't know if I can do it or not. What if my life is just that? its like the same cycle of day going on and on and I'm just getting older. Just what if there's too many regrets?
