I'm 19 and while I am still young, life after highschool is completely different. You get busy with work and school, it's difficult to include a social life without affecting your performance.
The last time I remember hanging out with friends without the worry of other factors was probably 3 years ago.
Oh that's really tough, I guess it's different for everyone. I am alone most of the time lol I just spend time w myself more rather than hanging out with people. I'll turn 18 in a few days and I'm preparing for uni so there's no work life for me. I want to work and stand on my own feet but my parents say that it's too early for it but yk I don't want to depend on them always. I am afraid of uni life too. Like will I be able to socialize? Study enough to mass the exams? What about people? Like I don't like socializing too much so I am scared how it's going to be in uni
I'm 22 rn, didn't go to any university since I graduated shs due to covid and after covid I became too lazy and afraid to go out and socialize.
My family just forced me to go to this technical college, where they teach several people (ages ranging from 17-60+) skills like housekeeping, cooking, caregiving, driving etc it lasts from 1 month to a year and chose caregiving for me. I was so scared, I was out of touch with people during the pandemic and then I was suddenly placed in a room full of people, not my age too and come from different places and have different situations. I was so nervous that I came to school on a sunday even though my first day was tomorrow, on monday; stuttered so much when introducing myself (i cried in the cr after class bc of how nervous i was); doubted myself several times and even resented my family for forcing me but after a year, I gradually came back to what I was before pandemic, cheerful, outgoing etc, would go out and chat with people and not just lock myself inside and avoid everyone.
Now that school's over, what I'm afraid now is job hunting. There are many hospitals and companies but I'm afraid to go and apply because I'll be alone and also afraid to disappoint the family after promising to find a job
Ahhh.... I miss my youth
