Hi guys.

Lately I have been really struggling with this feeling. I turned 26 in december and spend a lot of my time alone. Its getting really hard to hear people talk about relationships and things and I am starting to feel really old. I'm tired a lot and going out is starting to seem more like a hassle than something exciting

I feel like I lack experience with dating and relationships and friends and for a while I could deal with it just like hoping it would get easier to make friends and be social but now I just feel like me and all my friends are getting older and things just aren't like they were in my early 20s. People are less excited and nothing is new and fun anymore. Like everyone is tired all the time alcohol is expensive clubs are loud going out is expensive I'm tired from work I'm broke from paying rent... it's all just so depressing

Is this real? Like should I be feeling this way? I feel like I missed out on my chance to be young and have fun and do wild things and now its just too late and I will never have these happy memories...

I don't know. I'm just looking for reassurance i guess or like a kick in the butt to get out and start living if it really is too late. Or if I should just give up
