How to cope with it as a late bloomer, it feels like I only have like 5 years of youth left.I am right now 23, I only started dating recently, and having fun and making friends, as I spent my first 21 years fat, ugly and in school and the next 2 grinding jobs, I feel like I was robbed and I am horrified of getting older without using my youth to its full potential.How do you cope with it, I am exercising, taking care of myself, I don't drink, do drugs or work a hard labour job out in the sun to avoid aging as much as possible but still once people hear my age they act weird, I want to date 18-25 for as long as its possible, but I noticed already when I was talking to a 18 year old chick a couple days ago everything was going great until we were talking about our age and I said I am 23. Should I just start lying about age, I can easily pass for a teenager as I have a baby face due to being inside all my life and from genetics.
>>34977079>I don't [do any of the fun stuff that made life worth living for every generation born before 1980]I got some bad news for you.
>>34977173i mean regularly I do drink when out and about and do drugs when out and about with people.I dont do them every day like a lot of folks do.And my problem is about coping with how little youth I have left how to get over it mentally and how did you guys on here do it.
>>34977187You're on 4chan. Most people here never had a normalfag phase.
>>34977190maybe 10 years ago, nowadays this place is normiecentral and this is /adv/ its the most normie board.
>>34977079Don't worry about dating 18 year olds. Just be upfront about your age. You're only 5 years only then them but you might find yourself that they are too immature. I partied a lot until about 23. I don't look at it as some great time. Barely remember most of it. Basically it was just running away from responsibility, from growth. Basically the only positive thing I did during that time was lift weights. You have a job and perhaps an education? That's great for 23. And your dating, so you have some game. That's good too.Keep doing what your doing, it's working. Date whoever you want too, just be clear about your age but don't like ashamed of it or lie. Your 23, have lots to offer and shouldn't have to apologize because of who you choose to date.
>>34977079It could be worse. I'm 26 and I've never done anything sexual or romantic with a woman.

Basically the only positive thing I did during that time was lift weights.yeah I just want to have this phase.Dont want to be an grumpy old man that never actually used my youth to just be a young person without a care in the world. I was basically forced to become a very mature work oriented person since I was a kid due to my families financial situation.
