Feels like I’m missing out on youth
I’m a 25 NEET and I just feel like I’ve lost a lot of years to mental illness (depression/social anxiety) and have isolated for a good few years, I’ve never really had any close friends other than a bf and I’m missing out on going clubbing and parties and just having fun with mates and just being young. I have no idea how I’m to connect with people my age especially not being in education/work and my social skills aren’t great.
I understand that it's tough dealing with mental health struggles and feeling disconnected. But remember, everyone's journey is different, and it's never too late to build connections and have meaningful experiences. Start a new phase of your life by exploring new hobbies or activities where you can meet people. You can also use online platforms,attend local events. You are not alone!
