It feels too late to have meaningful romantic relationships.

...See more As silly as that may sound, perhaps I am being pessimistic. That is a possibility, but I always felt like over our earlier years we sort of build up or gain a semi understanding of relationships in some capacity. Even if they happen to not work out all that well, but me now midway through my twenties it makes me realize that I lack that experience. Perhaps I could get it at some point, but it feels like it would be difficult given my lack of much experience. The expectation especially is for me to take the first step, something I am not sure if I am completely capable of to be honest and I would hate to be embarrassed for not knowing certain things.

Are close friendships more difficult to obtain as we grow older?

...See more I had romantic dream about a friend I was decently close to back in high school. Although now I sort of regret not trying to continue that friendship I did try to do so and attempt to reach out again to no avail. That got me thinking that despite the world seemingly being more open, I'm older and can go to places I couldn't as an adolescent the ability to create strong friendships has become a lot harder. Maybe its just me? It could be due to other circumstances like covid recently that definitely had a massive impact on social relationships due to social distancing. But, I just feel a lot more lonelier now than when I was in high school. Nowadays I would struggle to say I have any real close friendships anymore.

Should we be less hard on ourselves for mistakes we made in the past?

...See more Rather than say, condemning ourselves over and over again for things we did three, four or even more years ago? Just a thought that came across me when I was thinking, and reflecting on my life for a moment.

Embarrassing Regrets?

...See more Just a question if anyone else ever experiences anything like that, I know for me I kind of hate how I just never admitted I had feelings for this one girl I knew back in high school. I've tried to talk to her again just to see how she was doing, but it seems like they've forgotten me entirely. I knew she didn't like me like that, but sometimes I feel as if I should have confessed just to get it off my chest. Even though it almost feels really silly for me just now to feel bad about such a thing so many years later. I guess I haven't been able to get her off my mind recently for some reason.

Overwhelming Nutritional Information

...See more Hello! So, I started finally exercising recently and something I did want to make sure to adjust was my diet as well. Now I already consumed a decent diet (vegetables, fruits, meats) without having a ton of food with added sugars. However, I feel like I cannot look at food the same now anymore! I've become a little obsessive about what is actually in everything I eat, that its becoming slightly overwhelming honestly. One example is sugar. I thought I was consuming a moderate amount of it, but I looked at my BBQ sauce and was blown away that it had about as much added sugar as a candy bar! Even things that were promoted as 'healthy' like granola bars aren't the healthiest thing due to just how much sugar they add. I've slowly realized that everything I eat whether it be ketchup or bread has some sugar in it. It's like my entire food life has been a lie. How do I deal with this?

Careers afterwards?

...See more Does anyone else not have any idea what they want to do after school? Anyone else get a bit stressed out about that? Obviously, not everyone is going to know what they want to do, but as a person in their mid 20s it feels like I should know by now? It feels so weird, because I have good grades but I feel as if "good grades" won't be good enough when I need to actually work. I've never worked anywhere before, so I feel like I'm at a detriment not having some experience.

...See more This might sound weird, but am I the only one that's had dreams or thoughts about past friends sometimes? When I graduated high school, I didn't keep up with too many people but at times I wish that I did just to have someone to talk to.  I feel this way about my ex girlfriend at times too. Dreams and all, but I know that it might just come off as weird and strange. Its been years and some days I still think about her from time to time, even though I'm sure she's forgotten all about me by now. I just feel kind of stupid? I think a part of me just misses having friends that would relate their problems and such to me; since I liked helping them and in part listening to them too. The other part is that I really do feel like I'm just lonelier these days then I used to be.
