I turned 28 today and I feel horrible. It really feels like its too late for me to capture whatever experience I feel like im lacking in before I move on in life. I still live at home with my parents, I never hold a job for more than a year. I never got to be young and dumb, hooking up with cute girls with cool hair, learning how to skateboard, playing guitar in a band. I never moved to a new city and made a tight friend group. I never did anything. And now im rapidly approaching 30 and im not even sure what to look forward to in life. Maybe I can manage to get a wife and a live a quiet mediocre family life but it will always eat at me that I never got to be young.

this feeling is only going to continue to get worse the older you get by the way

I feel you man. I've decided to kms when I turn 30.
It's not going to get any better.
I missed on youth and there is no point being a corporate slave if I can't even get a family.

Exact same circumstances here, except I'm a year younger. I feel like this every day. Peaked at age 12 and never progressed past then.
I think from your post that you're maybe not appreciating the systemic nature of your/our problems, nobody just accidentally falls into being a ~30y/o developmentally stunted KHHV, the normal process of life is to accidentally be normal. There's stuff going on there that can't be fixed with positive thoughts or joining a gym.

Even if things somehow magically turned around for you in your 30's and you got a wife, it would inevitably fall apart as she realises that your default behavioural state is to be extremely abnormal and you don't naturally mesh or integrate with other humans.

I felt the same at 27 anon. And the things you described fit me too. I went through a phase that lasted a couple of months where I was in a pretty depressive mood over it.
Here's what I want you to consider.
There is nothing you can do about the past. You cant go back, you're not gonna be reborn so you can relieve your life and make all the best choices, there's nothing you can do. The regret of the past cannot be erased.

But you can do something about the now, about the present. In another 28 years you're gonna be 56. Now you can stray trapped in the past or you can accept that you've waisted all those year and start living now, start taking action, start exerting influence over the one thing you can control, which is the now. Make peace with how you feel about the past and make sure the next 28 years of your life don't go down the same route.

Idk you could also just die

Like, I'm not even being an edgy 4chan troll here. Imo I don't accept that the only response to this kind of life is to make it better. As an actual philosophic position: For what reasons do you/I exist? Are those reasons a net positive? If they're not, why should we continue existing? I've long since decided that there is no reason and that mmmy existence isn't worth the effort, and checked out of normal society, now I'm just waiting to get an impulse to rope.

counterpoint: in the past finding your soulmate was valued above fooling around with random women. you can still find your soulmate.

There is no life to live at 30+. What is the point of living without serious passionate romantic and sexual interest from 18-22 year old girls? Im not kidding. How do you manage to live decades without even the vague hope that youll be appealing to the most beautiful and life affirming girls among us

thank god you pussies don't have the balls to kill yourselves
your suffering is exquisite

here's another one:
there are literal 13 year old kids RIGHT NOW who are getting laid while YOU can't even make eye contact with a girl. i would be so ashamed if i were you
HAHAHAHAH

Get a job with a nice paycheck, a nice car and a nice house. Trust me, you'll be fucking bitches younger than that in no time.
