An Incredible Desire To Be An Adult

By thatshekinah September 24, 2020 4 answers Last updated September 24, 2020

As the title suggests, I'm just a 17-year-old teenager, but I feel like I'm 57. In the last year, everything is so monotonous for me, I don't have a gram of empathy for my friends or relatives. From school I go straight home and go to sleep, then I wake up and wait for the next busy day to come, I train, but it doesn't seem to attract me at all, and I had a lot of desire until a year ago. I don't have time to go out to breathe, I'm constantly busy with tests and computer work (I work on one site). I also became very phlegmatic, sleepy and irritable, when they talk to me I just nod or say "Mmm" and if I have to go somewhere I get so tired that even this causes a slight pain in my legs. On top of that, when I looked at the mirror in us 1 week ago, I realized that I already have 2 white hairs on the sideburns and I didn't see that, I even saw it on the camera of the phone. My life is not and has never been something special, all the same, and that's why I say to myself, '' What's so great that I'm going to waste my supposedly best years? "I just want to wake up every time I fall asleep, past the mid-50s, beard and white hair, at least there will be something to be beaten every day. Do you think this is strange?

   It's not. I think millet needs a change. I'm not saying that school in its current form isn't the best thing that can happen to a person, but definitely, this monotony from 5th to 12th grade can drive a person crazy, especially if it matures faster. The bad thing is that there is no mass emphasis on extracurricular activities, and when there are such activities, they are still occasional. My advice is to find the things that make you happy and to indulge in them in spite of school. Find hobbies and new friends. The fact that I met some people at school every day does not mean that you have to be friends with them. "An inseparable class" sounds good for a fairy tale, but people don't always fit together, simply because they have to stay in a room for half a day. Get into music, some sport, collect something, learn something, DO SOMETHING. Because believe me, it will get worse. If you have not learned now to do what makes you happy, then in 10 years it will be very difficult for you.

   Hello. I'm sorry, but I laugh a lot at your story because I feel like I wrote it. Especially with the white hair section. So to the problem. No, it's not strange. It's normal, especially for your age. To these thoughts and feelings leads monotony and unwillingness to change anything. The way out is to tighten up and make a change, find something that gives you real pleasure, no matter what. I started writing stories and going out more. It was forced at first, but I knew it would help. And so it happened. No one will come and make your life interesting. It's entirely up to you. And yes, these are the best and most carefree years. Allow yourself to feel them. The 50s will not escape you.

   Yes, it's weird, but you'll understand. I was like that at your age - few friends, no boyfriends, no parties, just work (and I started as a web programmer at 16, then became a "normal" desktop application programmer). I'm 30 now and I look at things from a completely different perspective - namely, how I wasted (although I don't like that expression) the best years and that even though I wanted to develop in technology, I might not have done it. so much at the expense of everything else. In my opinion, the catch is to have a balance between personal and professional development. In this case, like me in the past, you focused on professional development and turned your back on the personal (social). And the truth is in the balance. See how you can balance things out. Besides, if you spend a lot of time at home,

   I'm a girl of 16 and I feel the same way. I say similar because I don't dream of being over 50 at the moment, but at least 25. I just don't find this teenage life interesting, and I wonder about this source of energy. After school I come back like a rag and I have no desire for any activities. I just want to lie down in peace and quiet.
