How do I come to peace with my age?

[LonelyAndBig]

I am 28 years old, and I have missed a ton of social developmental milestones. I am an Aspie, and growing up, I struggled with a lot of mental health issues and social deficits.

My biggest regret in life is missing out on young love and a lot of the social things I could have done when I was a teen. It eats me up every day.

I never had a real girlfriend. While I have had encounters with girls in my past, they were very brief and were not actual, real relationships.

I went by a fast food restaurant tonight, and it was PACKED with teenagers having a gathering. It made me sad because I am no longer that age and those girls are off limits now.

Well. There is things like social groups and mental health professionals who can help you with your Asperger’s.


Also. Maybe finding a woman whose also a aspie or there is many women willing to date. Sometimes you will get rejected.


If a woman when you’re on a date and she doesn’t think you’re compatible. Long as she’s nice about it. Don’t take it personally. It’s not meant to be.



Doesn’t mean she hates you as a person. But that it’s not something she is able to deal with personally and she isn’t equipped to love you like you deserve.

There isn’t a problem with her either. Long as she’s good about it.

Impossible, I'm 20 and I'm just like you, the pandemic made me lose three years of my adolescence.

You have the ability to change that. You can’t help what went on in your past and you can’t fix that, but you can fix what you make of the rest of your life

[LonelyAndBig]

That may be true, and although I am trying to build a life by myself, it doesn't mean I don't crave younger girls and have to deal with the loneliness and sadness of being single my whole life.

You don’t have to be lonely, you just aren’t properly helping yourself to get to that point where you aren’t.

[LonelyAndBig]

I seek a woman without a romantic past where we can be each other's first real relationship.

[kylee2437]

Well as a 28 year old, you are asking for too much. You are lonely due to mental health issues and you are expecting a woman your age to have gone through the same thing which is unfair

[Guy13]

Hope things change for the better.

Reminds me how I look at nature and reality and the world from a different perspective now

Well, life is what you make of it.

[LonelyAndBig]

Well that may be the case, but it doesn't mean this isn't a burden that weighs heavily on my shoulder.
