Adolescence

Truly? It's not. That's pretty normal by today's standards.
I lost my vcard when I was 18 but the girl was super into me. Made her my gf but ultimately said fuck it and dumped her

I know I did
>tfw had chad friend who spent like 2 years forcing me into awkward situations/talking to girls until I finally had sex at 22

Yes. And my 20s.
It's not like I was a total NEET. I worked out, went out drinking a couple of times a month, went to a few festivals and bought a house at the age of 29, but considering it's the best time of your life, I absolutely wasted most of my good years.

That said, you're 21. You're a fucking kid. You live in an era where it's acceptable to be a manchild well into your 30s, so you have another decade to live free and have fun.

In my late 20s, I met my best childhood friend when I was out drinking one night, after not having talked to him since high school. After that, we started hanging out and he even rented a room in my house for a couple of years, after he sold his apartment and invested all the money into real estate. He'd been lifting for 15 years straight at that point, which also motivated me to put in a lot of extra effort. It was almost like being a teenager again, and we'd work out, drink, play old 8-bit video games, go hiking and just roam around and meet friends on the weekend.
There's no reason your 20s can't be as good, or even better than your teenage years. It isn't until your 30s that thing start to slow down, and young people start seeing you as old.

Yes and no

That terrible self esteem due to being skinny
Didn't lift in my teenage years

But I have a long term highschool gf of 5 years
Had a close knit really good group of friends
Did some super crazy shit
Cruised throughout high school carefree

I miss it a lot now though. I wish I could go back and do it better. If any underage user is reading this, take advantage of your highschool years. Strive to be the best and have no fear.

Hi all. I was quite a fucker around my 20s (29 now). I had many hookups with hot sluts and several long term relationships. I cummed condom-less in so many pussies, I cant count it.

Do I feel like a God now with 29? No.
Do I have depsression even though I have fucked my russian gf two days ago? Yes.

You see, there is no reason for regrets. You did not waste your life. The only day you can waste is tomorrow.

So get out there and be the man, BE A FUCKING FORCE OF NATURE!

>russian gf
There's your problem.

Thank you man

>45459683
Nah man. Age 10-20 was the shit for me. All kinds of exciting.

>21
>go out and party every night, user, and dont firget where you came from!

Yes. But there's no sense in dwelling on this. You can't change the past. You just have to accept where you are currently and go forward from there.

I absolutely did waste them, but on the other hand, if I hadn’t then I wouldn’t be the person I am today. There’s no use crying over it, it’s a sunk cost. Also it’s only like 1/8 of your fucking life at most.

all my teens and early twenties. Soon all my twenties.

>I worked out, went out drinking a couple of times a month, went to a few festivals and bought a house at the age of 29, but considering it's the best time of your life, I absolutely wasted most of my good years.
the fuck?

My childhood was taken away from me by an abusive system that dehumanizes and criminalizes boys. I didn’t fucking waste them.

Being a 21yo dyel >>>> Being a fat 21 yo

no i had a good time

I also spent a significant amount of time pissing away time in front of the computer. I mean, I've been on Jow Forums since 2003, and got an internet connection in 1997.

As someone who's experienced the romanticized "teenage love", it's really not as great as you believe it is. Get over it.

>tfw completely and utterly wasted your adolescence AND early 20's

Doesn't get a whole lot more depressing than that.

>Do you feel like you fucking wasted your teenager years?
Yes, but joining a frat in college was the best decision I made.

24 yrs old kissless virgin here. I'm a skeleton and can't even talk to people. It's so bad that when I'm eating with my coworkers and they are joking around and I'm just sitting there without a clue how to join in the conversation.

I partied through age 24 or so and never touched a barbell. Now that i'e got that out of my system and I hate everything about who I used to be and who I used to hang out with, I'm never unmotivated. I devour books 2-3 a week and I haven't missed a workout in months.

Feel a little bad about not being more social in college (junior now) but then I remember how much fun I do have just gaming with my buddies. Going to have to ease up on the vidya shit before I get much older but I’m working on it.

>The only day you can waste is tomorrow.
Well said.
I spend my youth gaming and drinking with friends. I had insane amounts of fun.
I maybe regret not feeling that teenage love where everything is perfect and you don't have a care in the world.
But usually those things end in 3 weeks in a whole lot of bullshit drama.

What i really regret is spending almost 3 years after school smoking weed and doing other all kind of other drugs while pretending to attend university. I fucked my body and my brain over and more importantly i spend countless precious days wasting my potental and doing nothing.

Lost my virginity at 27, after 11 years on 4chin. AMA

Join the club. 28 slowly getting my shit together only to realise how I missed the best days to be carefree.

My teenage years were odd as fuck

Life is like a river rapids. If you spend too much time looking behind, you'll hit your head on a rock and die. But if you look forward, and carefully adapt to the flow of the tide, you fall down a kick ass waterfall and only probably die or something.

not completely, but I fucked up really hard my first year of high school (extremely cringey stupid story) and i think that definitely impacted my potential and overall confidence

what you do

>29yo virgin
>all this hope

spit it out man

Lost with 20, am 23 now and had sex with 16 girls so far. Still empty inside and not as much into it if it's with a random thot with nothing but her body to offer

>tfw lost virginity at 13 and it's probably one of the factors of why I'm so mentally and emotionally unstable 10 years later

I wasnt raped or anything but all of my older sisters friends wanted to fuck me and I let it happen and I don't think I was emotionally mature enough for it and I was never able to behave right in social settings since then. Had my brains fucked out of me.

>spent teenage years hanging out with friends and shit
> last few years of high school I start dating a girl.
>go to her house after we had our sports practices, fuck and study for most the night.
>do this for whole senior year

God I had a good time.

>23
>autism
>KHV

is there any hope to turn it around at this point? Can I still have a social life and have sex with an attractive women or am I too old to make it?

Greentext pls

I am literally the same with no car, no job, no gf, living with my parents, and haven't lifted in over 2 years. At least I have money in the bank. I still seem to have hope for some reason, so you can still make it.

it kinda sucked because i was told often before that incident by girls that a lot of girls thought i was cute, and i had those little stupid early "dating" things in grade 7 or 8 where there was no real sex involved.
And i still managed to fuck two different girls after that incident, though they weren't from my school. But I think I could've been a legit chad had i not taken that creepshot

>wasted your teenage years

Conservative Indian parents. My entire college life went down the drain under this bell. I'm finally breaking out of my shell a decade later than I wanted to.

But managed to get laid a few times in that hell, somehow. Going to Rio with a bunch of my friends in the summer, so hype.

Get out faggot. GET THE FUCK OUT. Save up money and travel. Go places with friends, go to festivals. Get out of your god damn town or city you were born in.

They'll give you experiences, which you can turn into stories and work them into conversation; which makes your game with girls much better than people who've wasted away in front of computers forever. You'll experience the world, you'll appreciate the world and get to see its beauty. You can share that with people both professionally and casually. It makes you a better colleague as much as it makes you a better friend or boyfriend or whatever at the club or wherever you go.

24-28 are the golden years if you were stuck in a shell in your teen years. Don't waste it man.

Go fucking do cardio until you gain confidence to lift. Cardio will give you meager gains but a whole lotta endurance in the long run. Its not a meme, any faggot that tells you otherwise subscribes to autism.

Don't be that guy. Also, reach out to them via whatever work messenger you use, share shit with them, occasionally walk over and talk to them about shit that you can easily talk about over messenger. The personalization of yourself to them will open the door for you to join in conversations during lunch and other shit.

howd u do it friend.
>inb4 escort service

>Do you feel like you fucking wasted your teenager years?

i started playing mmos at like 13. i didnt even set foot in a gym until i was in my late 20s.

i wasted a lot and i cant forgive myself for it, even now in my mid 30s.

Yes and no. I had a great time in high school. Middle School sucked, but then I went to a tech high school instead of my town's and really had a great 4 years. Great class filled with good friends, honestly almost everyone got along, and there were plenty of nerd/gearheads/etc since half the school went there to leave their town. So I really enjoyed my high school years and then, after, time at community college, too, again, lots of friends, etc, good times. That said, I never got laid, was a skinny nerd with glasses and a bad haircut, and never worked out. I wish I'd done all those things sooner, because as it turns out, when I finally DID (after getting my first and only girlfriend, now wife, in my early 20's), it turned out I was a solid 8-8 1/2 out of 10 hiding under my nerdy glasses, bad clothes and, as such, learned aversion to approaching girls I wanted. Now that I got fit, got a nice haircut, learned to dress nice, and got laser eye surgery, I'm really happy with myself and how I look, and I've always had a decently charismatic personality, so that's no problem. I just wish I'd done all that sooner. I also learned that when you're handsome, charismatic, confident and not a raging autist, people don't mind that you like dorky shit like anime and games. I've almost got some folks I work with thinking it might be cool, since they like me and know me and my wife love the stuff together and cosplay and shit. Anyways, so i have mixed feelings. I had a decent time, but could have done better, and not had all the insecurities I still harbor to some degree, too, I think, if I'd pulled my head out of my ass early and just tried a little. Ah well.

Let me guess, arab or turk? Lmfao

wish i did baseball in school other than that, nah. i did some fun shit

I didn't do anything, actually. She came on to me mostly. We were friends before and just naturally attracted to each other.

I think you miss what you didn't have more than you enjoy what you did.

The only thing I miss about adolescence was not having making love with a girl that I honestly loved and figuring out how to approach women rather then have them approach me for sex.

Oh and how to make friends. Never really learned how to do that. Just had a bunch of people around me who knew me and wanted to hang out never knew how to really interact with them.

Maybe I let those fantasies and media representation of the one highschool love, the modest happy life and close knit friendship circle of the AWESOME NOBLE LOSER that I grew up on ruined my ability to experience the moment.

Ah well.

I was lazy as fuck with no motivation. I wish I had the passion I have now for fitness when I was 14. I could've been a great wrestler but I quit the team because I couldn't stand going to practice everyday. Now I workout almost every day, chasing gains and hoping to make up for lost time at 21.

Do I think about what could've been different? Everyday, but I also think about what I can do in my 20s and beyond.

This, you can do it user.

>but I also think about what I can do in my 20s and beyond.
Aim for the star's, nothings out of reach.

My sister and I lived opposite lives. I spent my entire school years in the library, and 5 years of uni in my bedroom. She spent school and uni going out to parties and events almost every single night. Im not kidding here, I literally spent no time with my sister during my school years, in fact I have almost no memories of her at all. To the extent that by the time I ended school it was almost like my sister didn't exist she was so out of my life and in her own social world.

Iv just started working, shes been working for awhile. Shes married, had bfs, Iv never had a gf (not kissless virgin though). Her life seems to be a steady stream of tiredness and discomfort from work and life generally interspersed with moments of happiness when she gets time with friends or some major event (short trips overseas, getting proposed to, for example).

My life feels more, consistent. Im content at work, and content socially even though I never do anything with anyone. I dont have any major ups or downs. Its more like a slow steady stream of progress.

I dont know if I can say I feel like I wasted my adolescence. I dont think me or my sister is necessary happier than the other even though we lived completely different lives up to this point. Iv had a taste of the party life, club life, one night stands, gossip social circles, ect. And it obviously just doesn't appeal to me. I think we all live a bit of regret of what we never did/had because its hardwired into us to try new things to find what works out. But sometimes I think you just have to admit that you don't have to live your life to other peoples standards of the ultra social, connected party/friend concentric lifestyle. Thats just what is most popular, that doesnt mean its whats best for you. Some people just like living a quiet life.

16 yo underage poster here.
I'd like to think I'm no longer a dyel. 215+ bench (haven't tried my max in 3 months) 135 DB military press, 20 pull ups, and quite lean. Not a brainlet, 3.9/4.0 GPA 1560 SAT. Not ugly.

I've never even got a girl's number. Personality really is important in succeeding socially. Even if money, face, and physique are more important factors, I think you need to reach some benchmark of social proficiency in order to be noticed, a benchmark that I have not reached.

>Do you feel like you fucking wasted your teenager years?
A bit, yeah.

I imagine most people we’d consider normies have that kind of life. I’m like you, pretty content with life in general but almost never ecstatic or depressed. Kind of interesting how people are divided into categories such as you and I vs your sister.

>No thugless
what

Care to extrapolate?

nope, i'm glad i suffered through my first 20 years. it's the biggest red pill you can take. i'm happy now, and living a better life than 99.99% of the world's population.

this is exactly what I've done. I've fucked up so bad. I feel a kinship with you.

I just didn't get much of anything done with anything, didn't help that I lived half an hour away from all my friends. I just existed for the most part, didn't put time into hobbies or fitness or social skills.
And now at 23 I'm pretty sure I've finally got my first ever gf; so it's looking up.

To some degree, but for other reasons than some of you virgins. My teenager years were on the other end of the extremes. With alcohol and parties being easily available and socially acceptable here when you are a teen, I basically spent every weekend drinking, partying and hooking up with girls. I neglected everything else in my life, just so I could get my dick wet with sluts that were as immature as I was. I got hooked to this life. Fast forward and I'm a 30 year old mess who barely made it through school, doesn't have a degree, never held a job and is now essentially missing out on the life of a normal man my age. I should have a career by now, financial security and savings, my own place (as in not some rented room for students), maybe even a wife and a family or at the very least built the foundation for that. Honestly, there's even a good chance I will never have any of that in my life.

Im sure its a spectrum. But I just know those people who know everyone and are always doing things have just as many personal problems as someone who does nothing.

Not uncommon at all to lose virginity around 21 or so for men. Women on the other will usually lose it earlier to the same chad as all their friends.
Lost my virginity at 17 to my girlfriend but didn't have sex again after I broke up with her until age 19 with my next gf.
90% of my male friends who are now 22 have never had sex and some of them are kissless too

>protein is bad for you

I feel sorry for you man. You must be manlet if they tried to starve you of protein. I hope your parents were loving at least

Have you tried get any skills through websites like Edx? Maybe get an apprenticeship? It's not a bad option and you still have time to turn the ship around. You have at least 40 or 50 years of life yet and an apprenticeship only takes 2 or 3 depending on what you do.
Don't give up mate

For some reason my closest friends have always been people with massive social circles. You know those people who know absolutely everyone for some reason and they seem to just known by everyone. You can say their name and most people will know them.

I always get them to open up to me, and we get really close. No idea how that happens.

But the thing I learned from it is that they are deep down as miserable as I am. They just hide it far better because they say
>Yeah I did X with so and so on the weekend
Rather than
>Didn't get up to much on the weekend

I think its helped me get over the feeling like I wasted my youth, I dont think anyone feels like they ever lived up to their own expectations.

Lost it at 26.
Severely fucked me up.

Oh, I'm 29 now.
Will become that 30 year old in the gym soon.
