Idk how to feel about this but soon I'll be turning 20. And it does feel surreal, scary and what not. Rather being excited about this adult phase of life I'm on the other side dreading it. I mean with age comes responsibilities and what not. Am i even ready for it? IDK.
But I know it's worth trying and living but I am just not able to enjoy my birthday coming soon. It's really weird. Maybe if someone could tell me why am I going all through these and why am I feeling so gloomy today. And how can I overcome this.
Also any birthday present suggestions? I'm confused, what do I want for myself for this special b'day. Will appreciate your response.

I'm 19, female (20 next month). I still sound like a kid. People in real life either tell me it's cute or they tell me that I gotta grow up and stop faking it....

I'm bored and i think i'm a bad person
I'm 16 and I am so bored of my life, when I was little I used to like fall in love so easily but now... it's so dificult to get attached to people, like i've be...
This is such a common feeling for most people during their birthdays. You are scared of responsibilities, growing up because you love the way you are right now. But things change, thats the natural law. I also fear growing up but its the only way out. I am sorry for sounding so philosophical XD; but its just the way it is. Accept the law and try not to focus on these fears. They come and go perhaps next time when you get a job or passing away of a close person.
I am guessing you are a girl. So for a present, I'd say maybe an ipad or a Fossil smart watch? If you really dont know what to get, try giving this time, to the less fortunate. Hope this helps. Best wishes and a Happy birthdayyyy.

ReplyI'm turning 36 this year.. I forgot what it feels like to be 20.. Don't stress about it too much.. I think you're just worried because you're scared of your future.. Just live your life one day at a time.. Every once in a while try thinking about what you want to do or to be.. But don't stress about it, it will eventually come to you.. Don't be bothered of where, what and how the people around your age are doing, everyone has their own pace.. Not sure if this helps, just sharing my experience..
ReplyYou still have the maturity of a child and aren't yet ready for the responsibilities of an adult. However, handling the responsibilities may help you grow up.
ReplyI'm 19 and I have considered myself an adult by the time I was 16. I think everyone is different. If you don't consider yourself an adult then maybe you're not mentally one yet. That's fine. Just try to keep learning and be mature.
ReplyAlso, I'd suggest buying a zoo, museum, or safari trip ticket for yourself :)
Replyah! i just turned 19 and i felt/feel the exact same. i feel like all these milestones are hurtling towards me and they’re never going to stop! When i feel like that, though, i try to remind myself that even though becoming an adult and getting older is literally terrifying, it can be really fricken exciting too.
The world is such a big place with so many amazing possibilities- we could choose to see the negative, OR focus on the positive. Responsibilities are scary, but independence- trying new things, discovering who you are, experiencing things you never have before- that all sounds really exciting.
(sorry if this sounds super condescending coming from someone a year younger- i just thought i'd tell you what i tell myself when i get scared about the future)... i hope you have a brilliant birthday though!
Also- if it helps. A birthday is just a day. Technically you're only 1 day older than the last, on your birthday AND really - you've lived a whole year already as your 20th year of existing... if that makes sense. and You've got through it unscathed, you can DO this!
ReplyShort and sweet: I promise you that when these feelings pass you will wonder what was there to be worried about
ReplyBe happy for yourself. We all faced the life of being an adult that comes with responsibilities and obligations in life. Honestly, I feel you because I'm turning 20 soon and yeah I'm also not ready for it but my life comes with no choice. I have to be more appreciative of my life.
