its 2014 I’m almost 28 and i’m just unhappy with the outcome of life in general. i actually went out to party and drank with the guys at work, and i forgot about my overall self and just had a good time. Everyone around me was in there mid 20’s to 23’s i felt really old out of place, but i didn’t care. i just hoped no one judged me for being to old. when its all over and done with they’re still teenagers and i’m a middle aged man. where the hell is my life going, why am i partying with people younger then me, why am i still single. why am i afraid of success in life. when will my outcome in life get better and what happened to my dreams?

You are not middle aged at 28. Where in the world did you get that idea?
im thinking the problem about worrying being almost 30 is the constant reminder from our own parents saying “your almost thirty your not a teenager anymore” move out get a car get a life, do more, just constant nagging like life is going to be over sooner then i think.
You remind me of veteran champion Hurricane Fly who recently put his younger rivals to the sword and seems to be getting better with age. You had a good time, what’s the problem?
Flames,
well see you had a great time! Hey I am 20 and I have friends that are 28 and they are LOT of fun they don’t pretend they are surrounded by teenagers. So hey you’re not old, only as old as you act and maybe okay maybe you have like wrinkles but I guess guys don’t pay attention to that the same way. And why not to party with people so little younger than you?Hah, I don’t see anythingbad in it. Why not to be successful? Or have a girlfriend? Sure you could get anyone you wanted to
I seriously can’t believe anybody thinks 28 is old. This must be the product of a youth-obsessed society. I know 28 year olds that I still refer to as kids. Good lord, I guess you have to be a fetus to be considered “young” these days.
PurpleThread the secret to staying young is having a young mind. It’s not so much being 28 but feeling like you’ve been left behind by your contemporaries.
I am a fetus and I feel like my life is already over. Stupid doctor’s going to slap me, I know it.
I believe that more than feeling old at 28, the thing that affects people and makes them feel old is just how everyone is supposed to have their life resolved, having a job, a family, at the mid 20’s.
Whenever i see any of my old friends they are either married, have kids, or plan to do it soon, have an stable job, etc… and i do feel old and a failure for not being in that same point (i’m 31), so i can relate. Funnily enough it didn’t affect me much, but when the late twenties arrived (29) it eventually started to affect me, and it gets worse with time, lol.
Try being 47 and having lost your wife coz she was a whore, also not have a job, evidently cant get one (old is 47 around here, companies want you younger folks instead).
I have my mom and dog right now, at least until my wife ruins me further.
Be glad you aren’t in my position.
Good lord, it’s expected that people have a family in their mid-20s? What kind of fuckery is this? When I was in my mid-20s, I was such a fucking moron. I had zero concept of what life was about. Hell, I still don’t and I’m nearly 30. I think it should be normal to start a family in your early 50s. That’d make a helluvalot more sense to me.
@WIG: I had trouble looking for work even at my age, when i was still looking a couple of months ago, and yes… i wouldn’t be happy to be in your position, i would like to get a dog tho, haha… but, seriously, i’m at a similar point, just some years younger (just have my grandmother now and she won’t be around forever, rest of the family kinda hates me).
@lorax: that’s why there is so much divorce couples i guess? i swear, at least an 80% of my old school mates are married or engaged, what you say makes sense to me, i’m just past 30 and i have a small idea of what i might do with my life (besides ending it, but that’s another story)… if i would have married at my mid 20s it would have been a freaking disaster, but it seems to be the rule nowadays (at least around here)
