Only people who wasted it.

I'm 26 and I already miss being a teenager in the 2010s. Nostalgia. Some do some don't.

>>33320718 (OP)
Bro you're not old til your 40.

>>33320718 (OP)
I cried seeing the town I was in as a young child. I don't like how fast time goes but I know eventually things will be even better than I remember.

>>33320718 (OP)
Hell no. That would be like "missing" just having been to the bathroom.

>>33320718 (OP)
Fuck no

I didn't have a good childhood and am eagerly awaiting my mothers death. There no inheritance, she's just malignatly evil.

>>33320718 (OP)
all the time

>>33320826
cope. you might not be old, but you stop being young at 25.
>t. 28 year old

>>33320995
can your retard brain not imagine being young while having a good family?
I also had a shit family. but man i think about how much fun it would be if i were in a good family and what not.

>>33320718 (OP)
I miss having a full head of hair, and also miss lots of cultural aspects from back in the day, but I don't miss everything else that came with you like arrogance and ignorance and insecurity.

>>33321009
Thats not missing your youth thats your imagination.

>>33320733
I miss the 2010s even tho my life is better now, 2011 is my favorite year.

>>33320718 (OP)
Nah, not particularly.
I'd do a couple things differently if I could go back. College was one I'd redo, especially if I kept my current social skills. But all those mistakes I made back then are what's pushing me forward. I'm better now because I was worse then.

>>33320718 (OP)
not me
>>33320826
also this

>>33320718 (OP)
I was coddled as child but also bored out of my mind, I the vast amounts of free time- How I could sink day after day into pointless interests. Wander around in libraries looking for boobs in manga or national geographics. Wandering outside looking at trees.
Whenever I got a video game there was the massive amount of potential energy from being bored so often that playing the video game was ecstatic , gigantic, spiritual.
I think about my childhood all the time while I work overtime every week, then I get home and drink beer and masturbate

This is a very interesting and nuanced topic. But ironically, most of you lack the maturity to really have a proper discussion on the subject. It will probably be at least several years before you really start to realise it.

>>33320718 (OP)
No. My life was awful for like the first 32-33 years.

38 years old and I only miss a couple of bits of my youth.
I miss being physically youthful. Having the natural energy and vitality, and quick recovery from physically being young. And I miss the notion of having more time in front of me, even though I would probably still squander it, anyway.
All the other dumb shit that comes with being young, you can keep all of that. Don't want it.

>>33323927
What changed?

I'm 26 and I miss being in my late teens to early twenties because I was a NEET who stayed home and watched YouTube videos and anime and got high all day and sometimes hooked up with guys. Now I'm employed at a dead end job and I hate it. I've also gained 95 lbs so I look even worse than I did before. I miss having free time and sleeping all day.

>>33323927
dont leave me hangin like that

>>33320718 (OP)
I just miss having more time ahead of me and not having occasional pains i didn't have before. If i lived to be 200 and aged twice as slow id care even less.

>>33320718 (OP)
i do sometimes, i think everyone likes some aspect of it, but some had very terrible youths

>>33320718 (OP)
Not being responsible for anything was fun for a little while but now I have money and a great career. The possibilities of life are so much greater now so going back to childhood would be a serious regression at this point in my life.

>>33324045
>I'm 26 and I miss being in my late teens to early twenties because I was a NEET who stayed home and watched YouTube videos and anime and got high all day
This was my life from like ages 15-19, except replace anime with playing vidya and beating off to porn. I did get a job at 18 though, and worked for a year.
>I've also gained 95 lbs so I look even worse than I did before.
Yeah, I was 182 lbs at 6'4" in highschool at 16 years old. Then at 19, I was even thinner at 160 lbs. I'm 24 now (going to be 25 in less than a month), and I'm 221 lbs now. I'm 39 lbs heavier than I was in highschool.

Man, I just hate how time flies by so fast. Ever since I graduated highschool time just went into overdrive.
I guess my only advice to OP is to just do your best to build a good future.

I'm honestly having more fun nowadays, have more money and I'm fucking cuter girls.

>>33320718 (OP)
I miss how my brain looked at things with such imagination and wonder. But then I remember that used that as a vehicle of escape from my abusive parents and daily bullying.

I may be depressed and cynical now, but at least I can do what I want and be who I want in peace.

>>33325684
She’s an actress, so that’s basically art.

No. Every woman avoided and ignored me and every other man talked over me and wanted to fight me. I was stuck in a major that I sucked at and had no interest in, couldn't drive until I was 22, etc it was a nightmare.

>>33320730
Bullshit. Wait till you get achy knees. You think you prefer that to them not aching?

I'd say you dont need to wallow in regret the way some people do

>>33320995
Sounds like you got a good inheritance coming

>>33323896
Growing old is the slow death of your body. Some people accept it, nobody likes it.

>>33320718 (OP)
no

>>33325766
>Growing old is the slow death of your body. Some people accept it, nobody likes it.
There are likeable and unlikable parts to it. Not being able to drink every single day is a blessing. Not getting spontaneous boners every hour is a blessing. Not getting angry about people in traffic is much better then how it is when you're young

>>33320718 (OP)
Always. I'm attracted to youthful women no matter what I do

i miss how things like music were a little more magical but thats about it. i did not have a great time in my youth. i would love to bring back that magic somehow tho.

>>33320718 (OP)
I was a depressed mentally ill incel, so no.
I still am one.

>>33320718 (OP)
Y'know I thought I missed my childhood & teen hood, but realized I'm able to do more as an adult.
Kids didn't want to be my friend, and things were scaring my parents outside, so I wasn't allowed as much.
As a teen, same problem: no friends. And then my porn addiction happened.

As an adult, I'm able to talk to more people, even have a few acquaintances. I go outside when I want, and learned how to control my addiction.

Also 'missing our youth' is coping. Dry your tears, and try again tomorrow, you got this.

>>33320718 (OP)
I think about my teenage years often, and often wish I had done things differently in high school. I had friends but preferred to stay home watching anime, playing vydia, or masturbating, I also lost the high school opportunity to get the gf milestone. Overall I wish I had gone out more, practiced an instrument, or learned to draw, but just to have done something. Looking at it from a more positive angle, I believe I am somewhat young still, (22), but time is moving so fast, and every day is similar. I also took 4 as a semi-neet, working on short periods, I was afraid of entering the workforce but I realized the life of doing nothing, watching media, and not having goals is kind of having a lobotomy, you feel comfortable in it because you eventually feel nothing at all.

Holy fuck that hits hard

There's still time for you anon

I just turned 30 and (meme incoming) feel at the top of my game right now. I absolutely do not want to go back to being younger, more retarded, lower self esteem days.

>>33325766
>muh knees
Go work out you stupid bitch. I swear to God, modern day adults are such dumbasses thinking doing the same tasks everyday isn't going to create muscle imbalances like no shit.

tru that brother

>>33320718 (OP)
I miss not existing

>>33320718 (OP)
Nope.

I was raised going to a Southern Baptist Church at least 3 times per week. I love out in the boondocks. It was lonely. Religion fucked up my head. Got baby trapped as a 17 year old thanks to all that.

Don't miss my youth one bit.

>>33320718 (OP)
I resent being born

I think a lot of people just give up at like 40 and just become fat and boring and they reminisce about that time they finger banged Martha Rottencrotch behind the playground. Yeah being young is great because you don't have health issues and you have a large social circle but it's often just laziness that makes you a sad boomer, not objective issues

>millennial woes
Their youth is gone and the best years are behind them. Their women are withering away, many of whom never even blossomed into motherhood. They have no assets or stake in the economy. They have no social standing and mostly stand alone.
Like an old work animal whose time has come and needs to be put down, like a stray dog who overstayed it's welcome, like an old man who understands so well the point where oblivion takes you forever, it's over for millennials they are finished.

I miss when it seemed like there was still some meager crumb of hope to be had, but it was also pretty difficult to cope with an abusive, drug addict parent.
>t.27

I miss having a whole summer free
don't miss school
or having to share one tv and one computer with other family members

>>33320718 (OP)
My 30s were more interesting and fulfilling than my 20s. I don't miss anything about my teenage years.

>>33329572
Doesn't get better from here. By the time you're 30 (which will happen quicker than you think) you're going to be lamenting over being 22 and not taking the opportunities you have now. Isn't obvious now but will be down the road.

No, and if you do it's because it lacked something. Learn to let it go and move on so you can live in the present regardless of how "shitty" it is
>t. 37 year old who lived a fulfilling life

>zoomer cope
all the numbers show us that your generation is the most forgotten generation since the Great Depression. No sex, no property, no joy, and now that you're reaching your mid 20's you lash out at those who got to enjoy the final gasps of civilization. I really hope you get a war or something. Not because I want you to die, but because it's the last chance you have to become a self-actualized man in a dead world. Without that, or some equally drastic black swan event, you'll remain the child you are now and that's really sad.

>>33320718 (OP)
I only miss my youth because if I knew then what I know now, I would probably have taken a completely different path in life.

>>33320718 (OP)
Fuck no, it was so boring and lame. I am the happiest I've ever been and able to physically meet more people than ever before in my gated community full of psychopaths.

>>33321009
Yeah and what good does it give to overthink "what if's". You just keep holding on to that for no reason unable to move on

>>33320718 (OP)
People who miss their youth are retards. I'm glad I'm not young anymore because going to school and dealing with kids acting like niggers while having petty social hierarchies was not really fun. Oh and adults don't take you seriously either.

>>33329572
I remember how I already felt "old" at 22 I WAS FUCKING RETARDED, DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR BRAIN OR THE INTERNET WHEN THEY SAY 20+ IS ALREADY TOO LATE FOR CERTAIN THINGS

Sometimes. For a brief period of time, usually when I am trying to figure out a life transition.
If you are feeling regret over the past over missed opportunities, it is because you are missing something that needs to change in your life right now.
The past doesn't exist outside your memories which becomes corrupted and warped over time.
But let's say you could transfer your 40 year old mind into your life from 20 years ago.
And you can't take your future knowledge with you ie durr hurr I'm going to mine Bitcoin and become a billionaire.
Life would actually be quite hellish being stuck in a younger version of your life doing things you have already done.
It would be nice for a day or two, but nostalgia is mostly BS.

>>33320718 (OP)
I miss being young, but I don't miss my youth. Nothing important happened.

>>33336486
You see, I know that logically you are completely right, and yet my brain still tortures me at night.

I don't miss being as miserable as I am now, no

>>33320718 (OP)
I don’t actually miss mine but sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I went out with Girl A instead of Girl B, because Girl C (who was jealous of Girl B and A) was the one that ended up ruining my life over nothing

>>33320718 (OP)
yeah the world just seems terrible
worse off than yesterday
ive has the displeasure of watching my town become more urbanized and it sucks
on personal note i regret wasting time goofing off in school and being a retard that argues with people about petty drama instead of pursuing my passions

This is an interesting thread
I just wanna say that so I can find it later

No, I have no nostalgia anymore.

I didn't till it all blew up in my face and I realized that all the bullshit of "age is just a number!" And "You can start anytime you want!" Are lies.

>>33320826
"old" is a state of mind. i've met young 70 year olds, and decrepit 40 year olds. your open-mindedness, willingness to change, quick adaptability, are all young traits. if you're stuck in your ways and unwilling to learn, you'll forever be old.

>>33320718 (OP)
it's all relative to ones individual developmental traumas if you got ransacked by loneliness as many people are then you'll naturally yearn for the kind of subdued youthful romance whose absence and deprivation harangued you for all those years. it's not relative to whether you experienced that but rather to your subjectively held feelings about it regardless of having technically experienced it... some people it's poverty that upsets them, others were poor as fuck but happy because they had a sense of community... some people get traumatized by work but others find it elevating because they had a sense of accomplishment from the work... all sorts of people work but only some find it fulfilling... it all depends on your innate socialization in your earliest years, your relation to your parents, friends and other family...

in general, experience is only the light that runs through the prism of your personality, if that prism is damaged or made imperfect in some way, then the experiences passing through it will be similarly disfigured.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back in time, just for a single day. Back when "responsibility" wasn't in my vocabulary and had nothing other to worry about than if I'd be home in time for the simpsons. Back when it was easy to get excited over the simplest things and have no concept of what might happen next week. For me that was also a time before the internet, around 98'.

>>33320718 (OP)
In some ways. It wasn't what I wanted it to be so I lament what I never had - but also recognize that things turned out that way for a reason. In some ways I prefer being an adult. It's pretty good

>>33320718 (OP)
My childhood no my parents constantly fought and I wanted to kill myself my young adulthood im 21 rn so my life has its problems but it’s relatively good atm

>>33320718 (OP)
i genuinely don't think i "wasted" my youth
i do think i had more friends when i was younger, though, which i sorely miss

I do, but at some point you got to move on.

I wish I had my formative younger years but unfortunately I had a fat guy stalker. Here's to hopefully escaping any kind of situation remotely close to that in my 30s and beyond
