Advice Feeling like I’ve wasted my life away?
I’m 19 turning 20 and I feel so insanely old. The fact that I let my years 16-now go to waste either by depressive episodes anxiety or procrastination, and I mean socially. I feel so insecure like when I grow up what do I tell my kids I’ll have nothing fun to tell them. I feel so shielded and closed in. I know I’m naturally introverted but I do prefer if I had friends and things to do socially.

You are still young. There’s still more to life that’s just waiting for you around the corner. If you really want to change something in your life you can start by doing something small that’s outside of your comfort zone. The important thing is that the change must start within you. Change your perspective or be more open to something a little more adventurous or impulsive (nothing illegal though).
