Turning 25 in a few months but I don’t feel like my age. Is this normal?

[Anonymous]

My 25th birthday is approaching in just a few months and I’m dreading it. I feel like my youth is gonna be completely over forever.. I’ll no longer be in the 18-24 bracket.. I’ll be in 25-29 or 25-34 etc. It makes me feel old mentally. Even though I am nearly 25 people tell me all the time I look like I’m in college still or at least 21-22. I have a boyfriend so I don’t dread being alone anymore lol. I still like video games though, amusement parks, arcades and teen like stuff, I’m still responsible with my retail and education job though. Maybe I feel this way because I had lost time as a teenager who knows. But I feel like my life is still beginning and people expect others at 25 to have a house already and be married with two kids. I am just in a new relationship with no kids yet.

I'm 32 and not married with kids. Technically there isn't nothing wrong with playing games, as long as it isn't interfering with anything. It's a hobby for me, and has even helped me since losing half my family within a few years.

25 is still early.

I dread getting older, still do. Even more so when I discovered some silver hair at 28 years old. In less than 10 years I'll be freaking 40.

I get you, it's definitely something you just think about a lot.
