I am having a mid 20's crisis. Its hard to accept the fact that people, do it fact age. i know i am still relatively young. The problem is this mid 20's crisis is making me think weird things and making me want to do weird things.
am i alone?

I think it's called a "quarter-life crisis" as opposed to a mid-life crisis. My SO is turning 25 in November, and he will not talk about it at all! I know he's terrified of officially leaving his early 20s, but it's not a big deal. We all go through that, that's why Botox and boob jobs are so popular.
I almost feel ashamed to turn 25 this summer. i know its not horrible as it may seem, but i like the cute young age.





So imagine how all the girls feel who are turning 30! Don't you work with any older girls? Having them around reminds me I'm not getting on too much in years. And then the kids come in who are barely legal and I forget! lol




...what weird things are you wanting to do and think?
"Peter, did you take Stewie to a strip-club? He smells like sweat and fear." - Lois and Stewie (Family Guy) ... "Through early morning fog I see, Visions of the things to be, The pains that are withheld for me, I realize and I can see..."
ug i just turned 28 and i don't like it at all but what can i do about it :/
It makes me want to do wild things that will have consequences.
Well, there is an alternative to getting older, but it's pretty shitty.
I just turned 25, and personally, I love it!!I wouldn't EVER wanna be 21 again, EVER. Every year is better for me.

lol. no not that.
and nothing illegal or dangerous.
im not sure if i want to post those thoughts
I know exactly how you feel. I turn 25 in July and I'm unhappy about it. It's why I've made some rather bold and unconventional decisions particularly with sex. Not all of which have been good decisions. But it feels like I have to be young and carefree while I'm still young. Fallacious I know, but that's the paranoia in me that thinks that my life is already wasted.
It's like in Harold and Kumar, the first one, when they've left their apartment and they're just down the hall and Kumar realizes he's left his cell phone. Harold asks if he wants to go back for it and Kumar says "No. We've already gone too far." That's how I feel.
Ahhhh, I think I understand. It is scary realizing that you have to be responsible for your own actions, right?
Don't worry, you'll get used to it and it will get better all the time. Personal empowerment is such a liberating feeling.

I'm 2 years behind you Pookie and I already feel old! I guess life will do that to you.





i'm 22 and recently guys at work have guessed that, or older. ive only been dancing almost 2 years, i started right before i turned 21, and the first year, guys always guessed i was 18. i kind of hate it.
i had one....now that im 28 and feel like im approaching 30 at the speed of light, my own mortality is really feeling fragile....
it only gets worse so enjoy it now! lol




Just have fun b/c in 5-10 years you will think 25 is young and regret feeling yucky on your 25th birthday. Look in the mirror are you happy with your life and who you are? Then why place so much emphasis on a number?
Numbers really aren't that significant, especially today when we can do so much to reduce our real age. You have all the tools to look and feel younger and be healthier. Not to mention that you are beautiful, alive and have have all of your working parts!
Be happy that you are turning 25 , it only happens once!
im turning 30 in june and i can't wait to celebrate!
^^^Yes, savour being 25. I have hated every single birthday since about 23. I despise getting older. But, man 25 is nothing now that I look back.
I am going to be 30 next year.
God.

I understand. Yes, with aging comes a reduction in potential life paths, that is for sure. I could never be president or an Olympic athlete for instance because of my age and not planning to do those things before now.
But the odd thing is that as you get older new choices open themselves up to you. Ones that weren't even available to you as a younger person or that you didn't even know existed.
Life is not lineal starting a birth or point A and moving to death or point B. It is circular. Life can flow around in a circle, and outward. Things are familiar every year yet different and richer and more complex with every new cycle.
You don't know what choices you will have in the future, and you don't know what could have been if you had made other choices in the past. Make the best choice for you, for right now, because everything else is unknowable. There are infinitely many paths available with every choice. Trying to make a decision by guessing where a particular decision will lead in the future will make a person crazy.
Do what makes you happy. Yes, of course plan for the future. Even squirrels store food for the winter, but don't concern yourself over much with "what ifs". If it makes you happy, then it probably is the right choice.
Remember that "what if?" is your enemy. Right now is what is important. Right now you are 25, beautiful and intelligent. Right now you have food, clothing, shelter, family that loves you, a good paying career, reliable transportation, good friends, good health and an active life.
What decision could you possibly make that would so drastically alter the course of your life to be completely permanent? Most decisions are reversible or at least not permanent. Even children are gone in 18-20 years.
Cheer up! Today is awesome and tomorrow will be even better. Really. I promise.

I'm sorry.
Pft, youre as old as you feel. Ive been 15 for the last 23 years![]()
I am 27 and am having a huge quartr life crisis right now. I feel like I'm getting old and haven't acomplished anythign in life that I wanted to yet. I feel like I'm going to be 30 and still won't have acomplished the things I want. I also feel like I have been stuck in limbo for the past 4 years. I haven't acomplished anythign positive or moved foward since moving here. I never planned on being a stripper for so long. I never wanted to be a stripper for so long. Actually, I just kinda fell int dancing on accident and just never quit, but it was never a part of my plan. Noww I kinda regret ever becomming a dance because I feel it has held me back from doing the thigns I really wanted to do, like finish college. I kept putting school off, and putting it off because I was dancing and making to much money to take time to go to school. And now here I am at 27 years old, and had wanted to be a nurse, be married, maybe have a kid by now, but instead, I am still a stripper with no degree, and almost single. I will be starting life competly ove,r back where I was at 22 again. I have feel like i wasted 5 years of my life. I can't think I of anythign I have gained from the past few years. I haven't moved foward at all.
I am having a massive life crisis right now. So no, Pookie, you aren't alone...I am wanting to do crazy ass things right now as well, and it's hard to just remind myself to stay on course and keep doing the thigns I planned...even if I am a few years late. I can still get iit all done.

I turn 35 in a couple months. Talk about blech. Halfway to 40!! I'm happy about where my life is now, and I wouldn't want to BE 25 again (although for me 25 was a good year, too) but I just want to LOOK 25.
Paris, if I haven't said recently that Iyou.....I
you.
I am 41. Let me make you feel better about where you are.
The prime of my life was the period between 26- 34. In that age range, you have the best combination of physical appearance and stamina, intelligence, maturity, and creativity. As you get older, you gain more maturity and learn more, but it's offset by a decline on the physical side. At 25, you haven't even hit your full stride yet. Be happy for where you are.
And if this is about the eventuality of dying...there's no escaping that...sorry. Just gotta enjoy what you have while you have it.
