Feeling so old at 25
It's not just cause I'm a kissless hugless virgin, I don't really care about that anymore, I made my peace with that long ago.
But it just feels like my best years have already gone by, and I was miserable through all of them.
It's all downhill from now but it was shit and hell to begin with.

Feeling so old at 25
Calvin has ordered a propeller beanie.
Hobbes: "It says to allow six weeks for delivery."
Calvin: "SIX WEEKS?!? "
Calvin: "I'll be OLD then!"
Hobbes (pats him on the head): "And I'm sure your beanie will be the talk of the rest home."

I know how you feel. I'm 25 myself, and I also sometimes feel "old". Kinda a bit like I have a "early-life crisis", you know? I mean, like a mid-life crisis, I feel like the glory days of my life are already behind me and that since I'm (probably) past a quarter of my lifespan, I haven't really accomplished much. If at all.
Yeah, it's probably very ridiculous, but that's just how it is.
It may have something to do with the fact that I mentally just not my age. I mean, even as a child I have (mostly) been much more mature for my age than my peers were. Maybe that's why we feel older than we are sometimes?
If it was hell to start with, the only direction is UP.
I'll bet if we took a survey, the great majority of people were uncertain and often miserable through their teens and early twenties. It isn't easy, turning from a kid into an adult and finding your place in the world. Stop whining as if you're the only one who ever had adolescent angst.
I'm in my early 40s, having the time of my life, and I still feel pretty young. My teens and early 20s were crap, but it eventually got better.
Don't just write yourself off. I never did. Besides, if you're really dedicated to that idea and happened to be one of those people whose teens and early 20s really were the high point of your life, once that's over you're going to be forever stuck in the past with little to look forward to.
I'm a few years past 25, but one hell of a lot more positive than you, loser! Like they say, age is merely a state of mind.
Oh, god, shut up already. There's a point past which it's more prurient to listen to you whine - but you're so at peace with it - about all the action you're not getting than it would be to listen to sex tales from the most jaded prostitute alive.
But it just feels like my best years have already gone by, and I was miserable through all of them.
I'm a lot older than this guy.
There's a sort of ebb and flow to life. Once you realise, for example, that people in their 50s/60s are retraining for new careers the 21st Century is both wonderful and terrible this way - it's easier to see that human beings are always shedding their old skins; that, unless - and sometimes not even then - a person's health fails, their best days are never wholly behind them. There are other days and other watershed moments still ahead.
These incels are robbing themselves, and the whiny blame game they play women are to blame, or society as a whole, or their bone structure, height, and on, and on, and on - is fucking infuriating.
It's all downhill from now but it was shit and hell to begin with.
You may be 25 going on 15 but you're still technically a man. If things are going dreadfully wrong now, you're an active party to it.
I'm almost twice that age, and I feel pretty young.
Life begins around 25, ya know. The years before that are just manual reading, getting the kinks and the baby-fat out.
Your best years are ahead, nonny. Get a prostitute already, and get that fixation on sex out of the way, then you can start enjoying the real life.
Shit I'm 47 and I still feel like a kid. Losing weight and getting regular exercise has given me a new lease on life. If only I could be 25 again...
Yes, when I was in my 20's I was a bit lonely and wished I had a girlfriend. You know what I did? Rather than wallow in self-pity and depression, I went out and found one. And then another. And then a wife.
Shut your whiny little face, brat.
I'm 39 now & I only feel old when I hear a song I liked back in the 90s being played on the classic rock station, or how my old video games have now come back as "retro".
Soon to be 31, and only feeling old when reading the NHL draft prospects' birth years start getting in the early 2000s. Oh, and I'm still a virgin, but unlike you, I don't think 'bout sex that much.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
