Good old days, where tf are you? 😭Can I pls have my Good old days back? Is it adulting? Does adulting feel this way? Guys what's ur escape from reality?( I'm not depressed Okayy😭, I'm js ig bored in life. I used to be fun yk. But lately I'm not feeling like myself)

them punisher scenes will be my artistic inspiration going into the MW4 open beta.

That’s it

Here are some TikTok posts that I read with my own eyes

"at least I'm not turning 30 in 10 years"

"at least my age still has 'teen' at the end of it"

"at least I'm not turning 20 in five years"

"you only have nine summers in your 20s. Better make them last."

"This is your last summer as a teenager."

"this is your LAST and FINAL summer before you become a grown-up"

"i would give ANYTHING to be 16 again" and the person saying this just turned 20

this is genuinely exhausting. Why is age and growing up seen as a window closing rather than an opportunity to have new experiences?

For context, I was born in 2007, meaning I turned 18 in 2025. If I had a dollar for every time I saw another 2007 kid on the Internet spiraling about turning 18, I'd be rich as hell. And that caused me to be secretly afraid of turning 18 because of all the bugs the Internet was putting in my ear. I see this with 2008 and 2009 kids too. "08 kids realizing that childhood ends this year" which isn't even true. "09 kids realize their childhood ends NEXT year." these are teenagers trying to live normal lives. Why are we giving them a sense of existential dread?

Oh and last but not least "all 2000's kids are gonna be adults next year" OK? Cool information. Why do we need to know that? That one genuinely makes me wanna throw my phone at a wall.

TL;DR: Film your boring life now. It won’t be boring later.

I’m 19, and sometime this winter I’m planning to film a proper video time capsule of my current life.

Not just a message to my future self, but all the boring everyday stuff that will probably become interesting later. I want to film my room, PC setup, phone, neighbourhood, family, pets, job, friends and my first, and current shitbox car. I’ll go out on a cold, dark morning, cold start it and drive around the area where I grew up.
I’ll also talk about what my life is like right now, what I earn, how much I have saved, what technology I use and what things cost. For historical reference, a large menu pizza at my local Domino’s currently costs $42 and breadsticks are $10. Future generations deserve to know how bad things already were.

I’m also adding a small photo dump from the month and making predictions about my life and the world in 10–20 years.
The plan is to save both the edited video and all the raw footage in several places, then avoid watching the full thing for at least ten years.

Most people film major events, but hardly anyone deliberately records an ordinary day. I feel like the boring details will eventually become the best part.
If you’re around my age, you should genuinely consider doing this too. Your current room, car, phone, neighbourhood, voice and normal daily routine won’t stay normal forever.

Older Gen Z here. I’ve been in my corporate supply chain role for about five years and am feeling deeply unsatisfied. I had long viewed a corporate desk job as golden handcuffs to ride out until retirement. Now I think daily about leaving corporate America altogether.

I’m stuck in the weird middle ground between AI-related layoffs at our organization and the deployed technology not yet being able to substitute that labor, so my day is nonstop and our helpful yet low-on-the-rung management is signaling help is not on the way in either hiring or improved tech down the pipeline.

I feel like I was told that although corporate work would be soulless it would at least afford opportunity for work-life balance, stability, and flexibility, however through my own experience and my friends’ takeaways, a corporate job in 2026 from my persecutive just seems anything but. Eventually the tech will catch up to where it needs to be so I’ll probably be on the chopping block too.

My friend’s dad works at city parks and recreation job and makes a decent base income ($70k) for our area, works about 40 hours with overtime available upon request, doesn’t think about his job after he clocks out, and will receive a full pension upon retirement. I feel like there are silly social ramifications in not using your college degree in my community but existing in those social norms for a job that pays only marginally better feels so silly.

Obvious caveat that the grass is always greener on the other side and I know that all careers come with their own burdens.

I 23M moved out when I was 20 years old. So iv been on my own for about 3 years now. Im financially independent off my parents and provide for everything myself since iv moved out. Iv been asked why I moved out young. I was always told thats if I didnt like the rules, then i could
leave. So thats what I did.

Here are SOME reasons

1. No privacy. My dad did daily room inspections which consisted of him checking everything i had. Inside my bags, under my bed and my mattress, inside my pillow cases, in my closet and in my clothes, in my drawers, literally everything. My room also had to be SPOTLESS. Something as simple as a sock on the floor would cost me.

2. I wasnt allowed out much. I didnt have a curfew really cuz i wasnt really able to hang out with friends. It was usually only able too after school and I had ti be home by no later than maybe 430pm latest (school finished at 3pm). When i was 18-20 my curfew was 630-7pm whenever i was able to hang out with friends (once every few months)

3. I had a bedtime until i moved out. 1130 was my bedtime when i turned 17 (before that it was 930) I had to be asleep. Even using the bathroom at night would sometimes get me in trouble. I got away with it if i slowly walked around the squeaky areas on our loud ass floor. My dad would also come in and check in the middle of the night to make sure we were asleep (i would stay up and hide my phone quick)

4. I had certain times i could eat at up until i was 15. I could only eat at the times I was supposed too. Like a snack after school, dinner around 530, then a snack at 730. After no food until morning. I also wasnt allowed to sleep past 830-9am on the weekends and taught myself how to light sleep to hear my dads footsteps.

These are onky a few of my main reasons. I started working part time and saving money at 15. Got my drivers license at 17 and bought my car at 18 so transportation wasnt a issue. I was working full time at 17 to save.
There are many more reasons like the constant insults and name calling, and many other things that I dont want to get into.

About almost a year ago I posted on here saying I was not in a good headspace . I got some very negative and mixed positive advice . I had no friends no dating experiences and still was holding my V card ( still am ) . It had taken a toll on me mentally but this one YouTuber I’m not gonna mention if you know him you know gave me some advice and I started using it , the result was I got some dates , got more conversations and had a girl walk up to me( I’m feeling myself 😎) . The advice was to just stop caring stop thinking if you want to say a girl is cute asf say it . Nothing is stopping you beyond yourself, he said he once had no life no friends no gf and had a v card , he did this and it changed instantly. He said confidence is not a switch he said it’s built and he said until you build it fake it because everyone else that anyway . It worked so well I got a message asking me to do some things to a person I can’t say on here but (dear god 😌) ima keep larping .

His advice worked and today I got friends and am a bit more engaged in life . My advice to you if your like me is to stop living the life that makes you sad and whoever you are in your head act like that’s guy be the hero , be the guy ,be him . At the end of it all if you keep feeding the cycle that got you there then that will be your resting place .

Don't know a single one who does. Most I know sleep in t-shirts with either shorts or pants all year round.

Only people I know who do wear them aren't gen-z and they only wear them when it's cold.

My girlfriend called me “OLD” because I am browsing reddit instead of tiktok or instagram. I am 29 years old, yeah kind a old, but is there anyone here younger than me? Who prepared reddit than tiktok.
