just realised Ive wasted my life :(

so what you doing now?.. did you go through a levels etc..

I'm 29 and still doing this 😂

Turned 21 a few days ago, i feel ive completely wasted the developing years of my life doing nothing at all, socially and acadamically. All Ive done since I was 10 is just sit in my house and play games and watch pointless videos just to kill time. At the time I was around 14/15 I knew I needed to start being productive and actually do something with life e.g get into fitness, have a job etc. but always ended up telling myself that I have a lot of time ahead of me, boy I was wrong.

Socially never really had the friends I wanted to have, barely ever step foot outside the house. Didnt go to any events such as prom whereas everyone I have encountered has gone. Makes me feel very low on the things Ive missed out on and didnt get to experience and that the time for that will never come back.

Anyone reading this who are in school, you better take action if you havent already cause you dont wanna be like me and regret not doing anything about yourself.

someone please send me back 5 years!!

yeah i pretty much wasted my teenage years. was plagued by social anxiety and no real desire to socialise except playing football. the route cause too much escapism - youtube, video games, internet forums, and porn. all these things were just better/replacement than parties and getting with women. i wish i found no fap i would have totally lived a completely diff youth. its not just about it would have made me a bit more social and interested in women its the whole package the increased motivation, energy and focus on self improvement; cutting bs activities, replacing with going to the gym, reading, meditating, studying more, learning how to socialise and talk to girls

also its knowing that the chance of being born is basically zero, every single moment on earth is a miracle, every single dya there are infinite opportunities, experiences, people to meet etc. cant believe had the balls to waste it.

everyone should delete their tsr put on k9 blocker blocking everything except productive sites, and just going out into the wlorld and live

I’m 37 and until I got diagnosed with cancer at 31 I did the same. I messed around all through my 20’s, kept dropping out of uni; I finally knuckled down at 33 and got my degree- a 2:1 in English; I’m just finishing my Masters dissertation now- I’ve written 15000 words on how the death of an occupational dialect and the demise of that industry has effected the whole dialect of an area. It was a bloody hard slog and if someone had said to me 15 years ago I could do that I would have laughed in their face. I start a second degree in Sports Science and Law next month- I’m working part time but as I’m now permanently disabled even that’s a huge achievement. It took a traumatic life event for me to see that but it is never ever too late to turn your life around x

Youve basically described me there, all these bs activities that Ive had for years completely wasted all those years what couldve been productive and by now I couldve been quite a success at least for my standards, right now im just a waste of space and my standards aint even that high lol.
So how old are you?

You’re 21 do something now. I’m 17 and had this realisation TODAY, so let’s both do something now instead of saying eh there’s always tomorrow 😂 please I am a procrastination nightmare, I am going to do this today 🤞🏻

I left the army at 21 and started highschool.

I found #parkrun a great way to get nearer to strangers without the pressure to make friends.
Last year I started parkrun, this year with gym.
Didn't lose a pound yet, but feel invigorated.
Much more alive than during the last months in the army.

At 21 you still have 80 years ahead to make a great contribution. And more so if you just switch off the game console and step out of the house.

Im pretty sure youve done a lot in the army and created some unforgettable memories. I on the other hand havent done anything all my life and have had no significant event happening to me that im fond of. Ive wasted my life being a lazy shite and cant believe why tf I didnt put any effort in my life to be productive and live as much as possible cause i acctually used to have these thoughts. But im definitely gonna do my best from now on, hopefully.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Shut down the xbox, get into your shoes and step outside.

In Germany a new trend is walking barefooted. Probably not advised in UK with all the broken glass around.
