i’m only 20 and constantly feel like i’m wasting my life and there’s no coming back, no logical argument helps me relax and let things take its time, i feel like i should have reached a certain level of self satisfaction by now and that if i don’t have it now i never will. I think unrealistic expectations fueled by my parents have something to do with this.

That’s rough, it’s definitely difficult to change your mentality, I doubt there’s anything you could accomplish that would leave you satisfied if you’re thinking like that. I guess you just need to take time to reflect and enjoy the small things in life, there is no ultimate goal or purpose

since i left high school i been having a quarter life crisis.

life is hard as brix no doubt

hand yourself over to anything more powerful than you are

Move to LA and become an actor or youtuber

Ur jus havin a bad day man. Everyone feels like this every now and again

Same here brother, this has been one of the big issues for me, and we're the same age. I used to be so ambitious but since things haven't happened as quickly as I've hoped I've been in limbo for the past year.

I think having peers who share similar ambitions as you is important because doing everything by yourself gets tiresome. I have friends who want to be ambitious like me, but they don't ever reach out to make a plan so we can help each other out.

The worst thing about this is that it was supposed to feel like the prime years of my life, but it all just feels like it's slipping by. It's this battle of not wanting to waste time but not knowing what to do next.

I think this age of immediate gratification and "success stories" posted on the media really make self success seem easier and more feasible than it is in reality.

That's real.

Find a hobby.

Wait till you hit 25. That’s when my quarter life crisis came. At 20, you’re absolutely fine

Haha wait until you're 40. Imagine thinking you would have things together by 30 then the years pass by and you've accomplished none it. You're fine at 29.

Im turning 28 in a few months so I’m almost there im starting to really feel that dread too lmao

What is up with you guys on this site and thinking that being in your 20s means you're old and that your life is over?

I swear it feels like the internet has you guy's perception of age and time completely warped.

Nibbas barely 19-20 on here talking bout "being an adult is so depressing, I can't believe I'm expected to wake up everyday and work at this mundane job. The system is rigged, how am I not already prospering at this point of my life yet?"

Lowkey y'all are still children at this age bro, you can't even rent a car or house till you're 25. Most of y'all are probably still labeled as a "dependent" and are under your parent's insurance. You're not expected to be up right now, you're fine.

If anything you guys sound more like you're dealing with the fact that you've might have peaked in high school, which is a whole other thing.

Whatever you’ve done in the past, are doing in the present moment or will do in the future are all the right things to do.
