Im 28 now and look back at my life as a regretful man. I never really had a life that I felt particularly proud of. Something that has really bothered me is that I feel trapped with no ways to get out of it.
Sometimes I wish I would have moved away far from my hometown when I was 18. Or that I picked an easier career.
In high school, I was extremely quiet so I never got invited to a party. I grieve this because I had another women flirt with me. I would get invited to female lunch tables and actually tell them no lol.
In college, I played it same and stayed at a local college. I didnt get the college experience. In fact, I didnt even go to a bar until 25. Before that, I just studied in a library.
I didn’t even think about a woman until 23 so before that I was happily ok being single. Literally could go years without craving sex.
Now I wonder what my life would have been if I had a different personality or cool. Nowadays, I learn to explore by myself. So I know all the bar locations and regularly leave my state for fun. I wonder how I would have been if I was this person back then.
There is less opportunities the older you get. I am even sadden knowing my looks are fading. What is the point of anything
So I sit here and wonder. How do you get over that?
The best sex of my life was in my thirties. Go get in shape, your looks will improve, you’re still young enough to have a life of debauchery if you wish you had that.
LOL, you’re 28. What are you talking about?
OP crying shame in the bottom of the 2nd inning. tf is going on with these youths. TikTok and IG influencers ruining their minds.
“How do I deal with having wasted my life at 21”
no wonder young people are getting plastic surgery. algorithms have driven them insane.
I agree with your sentiment… but it’s not like a 28 year old dude can go experience prom, spring break, sweet 16s, celebrating 21 at a bar with friends, high school crushes and puppy love, etc, etc…
All of that is in the rear view. Disregarding those milestone memories as meaningless isn’t particularly helpful.
Yeah OP ya missed out on some shit BUT I promise you the things you can still do and accomplish after 28 are glorious and plentiful. It’s all in front of you, start chasing your dreams. No regerts.
Damn 😭
I know you’re not looking for my feedback- I’m a woman. But I’m telling you now- sooooooo many men become way more attractive in their 30s and 40s and the stay that way. Trust me when I say that you have time.
can confirm 38 handsome af. OP got plenny time.
And humble!
Brother your mid life crisis isn’t for another 20 years…
Yeah but on the plus side it’s good to get it over with early and then start living true to yourself
Oh shit, that’s my age 😭
I’m 50, lost my dad at 45 only to find out he was the good guy in the story the whole time.
You’re 28 acting like life is over when it really hasn’t even begun.
