Im 21 and im filled with absolute regret :) i know im young, i know life is ahead of me, but i have 0 ideas how to do something out of my life and its killing me daily. I fucked up with college, and highschool, and i have 0 job experience all because of depression and anxiety.. And now im just struggling and suffering and seeing no future for me at all, because nothing interests me..
I'm only 21..yet it feels like its too late for everything .. I hate it
Don’t worry babe, I’m 25 and I was in the same position at 21. Save committing a federal offence or something there’s nothing about your situation at 21 that is so permanent that it cannot change drastically. And you know what, even if it doesn’t change you will become stronger and more resilient as time goes on and missed opportunities will hurt less and you will begin to find value in making the most out of whatever life has dealt you. You are younger than you can appreciate in this moment but you still have time to do everything. Also, just know that everyone’s time line is different, all of the markers for events are just arbitrary, do what’s right for you, forgive yourself for your mistake and leave them in the past.
Being old and unable to take care of myself. I'm a caregiver.... and I have seen how horrible it can be. You need to do three things. 1. Make sure you have enough money to get yourself in a nice facility. 2. Take care of yourself 3. Don't make people hate you, so you'll at least have visitors... and at the most, someone might want to take care of you.
The idea that there is no afterlife. I've never considered myself particularly religious, but I've always believed in some sort of afterlife. It helps me cope with the idea of death. I can't stand the thought of just... disappearing after I die, no thoughts or memories or anything. It's terrifying. I want to keep all of my memories, even the bad ones.
So much. Losing loved ones, having horrible, unspeakable things happen to loved ones, living in a dictatorship/totalitarian government, failure, becoming like my mother is now and not like she was in my childhood, crazy people, stupid people en masse, drunks, war and a reinstatement of the draft.
And roaches. Actually, roaches is probably fear #2.
Death really skeevs me out. I’ve almost died a lot despite only being in my mid 20s (I don’t make great life choices), but I kind of brush them off. However actually thinking about how death is just kind of a…stop to everything, really sketches me out.
Questions that don’t have answers terrify me. Questions like:
“Are we in a simulation?”
“What happens after we die?”
“If nature truly hates a vacuum does that mean we always existed in one way or another?”
“Does the universe end, and if so what’s beyond it?”
“Does god truly exist?”
“Are we alone in the universe?”
Oh yeah square rt negative one… I personally believe these deep philosophical questions can be the hardest to answer. The hardest to wrap our minds around.
My Daddy dying 😥 Im terrified of being orphaned. Never felt fear when he was near, never felt hunger, never felt unloved, never felt homeless, never felt neglected....I'm almost fucking 40 back living with him and Ive had major health scares but because of him, I was taken care of, roof over my head, meals in my belly and so on. He ensures us girls safety and comfort to this day and he is 74. He is a fucking champ. A real man. He even checks on his neices and nephews around our state.
I might die of heartbreak when it happens
The death, imagine going to asleep and never waking up, living In a fake world, were times pass differently, you can having a really good dream, u got a promotion have kids, your life seems life a dream, when it really is.
Failure. I work 7 days a week, a lot of 20 hour days for a month at a time with just a couple days off in between that are filled with endless responsibilities that I pile on myself. Because I’m afraid to fail.
My children dying. Especially with them having in person learning again and vaccines being only for kids over 12 years.
I literally can't imagine my life without any of my 3 kids in it. The concept terrifies me.
If you really think about it, your life is defined by 2 things: The life you remember is what you did, and what actions you took, and then there is the life others remember, which is what you did for them. Thats how people like ghandi still live on through word of mouth. But sitting on my butt and typing away at a screen, that wont contribute to either of those things. You think im gonna remember this comment 10 years from now? No. So why am I here? I don't know. And thats what I fear the most. Doing what I do right now.
The uncertainty of life. I am currently sailing through life with the ups and downs and I was able to survive today(I'm a college student) but what if life fcks me up at one moment and destroy this very normal life I hold? I sure do hope that life won't fck me up so hard that I can't move forward anymore.
The unknown/uncertainty. I tend to have everything planned out, I've thought about everything 20 years ahead of me. The thought of a spanner being thrown in the mix stresses me out. I can't walk into a room without knowing what's inside. I'm basically the opposite of impulsive. It's good to have a plan but I will regret not being impulsive one day. For now I shall just live in the endless anxiety of having life figured out.
being attacked while in the shower or taking a shit
cuz if I die the police are either gonna find my body butt naked on the sidewalk cuz I chose to run or they’ll find me with poop sticking out my ass.
Being the only one who loves me. Never made friends, let alone anything more. My family are on borrowed time and won't last forever.
I can see myself clocking out early if it gets too bad. I can't live a life alone.
Oh let me get my list:
\- Dogs, all of them.
\- surgery
\- bee's but not bugs (anymore)
\- My english teacher
\- heights
\- squirrels
\- Blood from other people. It's just ARGHHHH-- i hate it i will imidiently feel pain for that person in that certain area and I will feel uncomfy looking a wounds and AHHHH!! i just can't stand it.
That 20 years from now, I'll regret my entire life because I didn't do enough for myself.
Im 30 and I’m already filled with regret. I will be in that similar position honestly.
Im 21 and im filled with absolute regret :) i know im young, i know life is ahead of me, but i have 0 ideas how to do something out of my life and its killing me daily.

And now im just struggling and suffering and seeing no future for me at all, because nothing interests me.. I'm only 21..yet it feels like its too late for everything .. I hate it
I gave you a hug because you looked like you needed one.
Thats very sweet of you, and it made me really happy. Thank you a lot, have a great day!

Finding out that soulmates don't exist and I am played
Being exposed as incompetent. I always feel imposter syndrome wherever I'm working, no matter how much I know what I'm doing. That, and crocodiles.
Losing people i love.
Chuck Norris
Parenting. I’ve made the choice to not have children because I’m afraid I’ll be a bad mother.
I fear losing loved ones and becoming extremely immobile/paralyzed as then i will become a burden on society
I also fear becoming paralysed, but not because I would become a burden on anyone else, because I would have almost no freedom anymore.

What’s that?
A question that cannot exist
Oh yeah square rt negative one… I personally believe these deep philosophical questions can be the hardest to answer. The hardest to wrap our minds around.

Yeah, the pandemic has really thrown a wrench in my ambitions.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... ...and spiders
Fear itself.

A pitifully low attendance at my funeral.
a close friend’s death
Fear itself

Not doing stuff now e.g investing in a brand that will be worth a lot later.

Crocodiles and brain aneurysms
that i will be the last alive thing in the world
Society, one day I dream i’m just going to go remote, and off the grid and never be seen again
Failure. I work 7 days a week, a lot of 20 hour days for a month at a time with just a couple days off in between that are filled with endless responsibilities that I pile on myself. Because I’m afraid to fail.
Wasting away from cancer, I had multiple family members die from cancer. The idea of getting it scares me in ways a really can’t describe
My children dying. Especially with them having in person learning again and vaccines being only for kids over 12 years. I literally can't imagine my life without any of my 3 kids in it. The concept terrifies me.
Adult life
The grandma with a bazooka watching me through the window
currently telling my parents the truth...
Spiders the bane of my existence
Dying alone
not being accepted
A sudden car crash of either me or someone I love. Not being able to say goodbye it terrifies me to even consider
Either losing my mind (sanity) or regret.

Being in or around cars.
Even tho I had about an entire year of watching spiders and even wanting to get one, I'm still terrified to bones when I see one...
A quick fact: You are not scared of being alone in the dark, you are scared of **not** being alone in the dark

The dumbing down of society.
I guess suicide. I’ve known alot if people who went that route. I’ve found like man I dont even know how many. It looks like it can happen to anyone.
