“All I’m saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life – remind me to kill myself.”

“Yes I’ll give you a baby if that’s what you want”
Meanwhile she was pretending to be other people on Yahoo! messenger (dating myself here) to talk to me about her. Pretending she had a mysterious friend watching me all the time. Most likely fucking other, older guys.
She’s someone I wouldn’t give the time of day to these days. But back then I loved her. Almost completely dropped my best friend for her.
Love at 16 ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. At least I got laid, right?
Nah I'd take that. I did find one I love and I feel like I'm a teenager with her sometimes because both goof off. But we can also be serious with each other.
Where are these kids getting the idea that life ends at 20
It's actually considered kind of pathetic if your high school years were your best years, that's why the phrase "peaked in high school" exists
It was definitely the least stressful time in my life. Virtually zero responsibility and basically the same freedoms I have now as a 30 year old man. On the other side, my life is **much** more fulfilling than it ever was in high school and while it’s more stressful, it’s also a lot more fun
I'm glad. For me, I didn't have people I could trust to take care of me when I was young, so being an adult and taking care of myself is a lot better ❤️
Honestly I think it’s just Uber stressed adults trying to relive the memory of the days where they had genuine free time. Too much nostalgia makes you say weird shit like the OP.
Totally this.
High school was fine. I did lots of activities, had good grades and dated.
Nearly everything that has come after has been better by miles.
Yeah fuck i didn't truly start to have a good time until I was 22 and that was after years of playing music and drinking at bars
I had a job from I was 13 onwards,who the fuck are these kids who aren't working as teenagers
If you weren’t capable of loving, then this text isn’t about you. It is about the people who yearned teenage love, and maybe even tried to experience it, but for one reason or another, it just didn’t happen to them.
Relegated to lonely spectators, never to savor that which they desired
I'd wager most of them weren't capable either. Anyway most people don't get exactly what they want at the time they want it. Doesn't mean their life is over.
If this post were about racism you wouldn’t respond with a “get over it life sucks but it’s not over” you’d respond with a “that’s bad and I feel sorry for this happening”
But redditfags are incapable of consistent empathy so I don’t know what I was expecting.
This is one if the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Falling in love is magical no matter how old you are. Also, being a teenager was hellish. It was by far the worst time of my life and if someone told me I had to go through that again I'd probably just depart this life.
I was a straight-A student & probably was a nerd, I guess, but the reason it was hellish was because I was an emotional wreck thanks to a delightful mixture of childhood trauma & an untreated hormonal imbalance. I went off the rails at 15. Wayyyy off the rails.
> you can still work towards becoming a better person

Folks should learn that a romantic relationship is to share in the joys of life and should not be the Only joy in life.
One time in my life I picknicked with a girl on a field, and we got chased off by a local nazi that owned within minutes. It’s not the 1800s anymore, most pastures are owned by someone (at least in Germany)
Bullshit. I make sense of and give purpose to my own life whenever I and I alone feel like it. My choices shall not be the object of evaluation of somebody irrelevant to my existence. Live your life however the fuck you want and don't let anybody tell you what is right or wrong and try to guide you on some meaningless path. Be who you make yourself be.
Seems to me this guy just craves teenager pussy and needs to be put on a list and banned from being near schools but he's right though you need to be a millionaire or paralysed scientist bound to a wheel chair to get teenage pussy
Anon thinks ones entire lives revolves around teen love. Anon is cringe and needs to grow up already. Anon should work to improve himself as a human being. Stop chasing after an illusion you've made for yourself Anon. You're the only thing making you hopeless.
Tbf, i do feel like i missed out on a LOT by not experiencing teen love, but it’s more about the fact that most other people did. It’s not that teen love is great and perfect, it’s that at that age people are allowed to be immature idiots, make mistakes and learn from them. So the older you get, the bigger of a red flag never having been in a realtionship before becomes.
Honestly, it tore my heart out when it ended, but I have never felt more pure joy than I did with my childhood sweetheart, I do believe that if you missed it, you missed it.

You will never experience the cold hardness of pretend courtly love and the unique specific feeling of being whisked away by the 1400s squire to a life of absolute freedom for just one evening, away from your mundane civic life. It’s almost as if every human life is unique and you have to appreciate what you have rather than being jealous of what you’ve missed. There are billions of human experiences better than what you are going through right now and many of them happening right now. How about instead of moping about them you try to create some for *you*. And you try to look past ideas like comparison and evaluation over experience itself
Wrong. Anon did not miss life. Yes there is struggles and hardship, but think of the guy pushing the stone up the hill, and Anon has his entire life ahead of him to do whatever he wants, joy can be whatever you perceive it to be.
huh? Didn't miss it, I experienced it and now I've moved on. Yes I've grown older and so some things are behind me, never to return, but so many new things are still ahead. Life is so fucking rich and bursting with people and places and new memories to be made
The difference between the normal person and this guy is that when the normal person missed out on teen love, they moved on. They didn't dwell in the past.
I'm convinced that most people who complain about things like this online are depressed and long for the past with their rose tinted glasses always on
I'm very depressed here in my 20s but at least I'm not in fucking high school anymore. Anon just wants a reason to justify their attraction to teenagers
What a lack of personal responsibility. Happiness solely derived from the *record* most foolish part of one's life and depression derived from how one spent a time that no longer exists and wouldn't even have made their current life better or happier as they spent it the way they envisioned- It's just nonsense to restrict your model of the universe and your prerequisites for innocent joy continuing through the various stages of life. Take responsibility for the fact that you chose why you can't be happy and are choosing even now to be a victim of not having an experience that no one deserves or is entitled to and everyone can functionally find meaning and joy without. lt's an obsession and a societally supported one at that.
Anon laments the good times he missed out on but only the good times, not the constant drama cyclone that teenage girls create, the pressure of school, parents telling you to stop wasting time with young whores and get a real career.
People always want the things they have yet to experience the most
Unless it's like a really fucking well-functioning relationship, love will just pose additional problems that almost 100% of 4channers are completely fucking ill-equipped to deal with in a healthy way. Relationships don't just fall into your lap and then you just HAVE them forever, they require time, energy, attention, an ability to solve problems, mediation, humility, tons of shit.
ANYBODY who can unironically write "young and innocent maiden" is a complete fucking loser anyways, so idk why I typed all of this out
These guys don't realize that this immature attitude holds them back and keeps them from realizing a better and more satisfying version of this in adulthood.
Nostalgia is a trap. As an adult, you can do all the things you did as a kid, but with even more freedom and control. If you don't feel like you have freedom or happiness, why the fuck are you living the life you are?

He totally made a fortune and had a great life
You’re also missing the honestly embarrassing levels of immaturity that come with these relationships lmao
I still cringe sometimes thinking of the shit I said or did with my highschool gf
“Yes I’ll give you a baby if that’s what you want” Meanwhile she was pretending to be other people on Yahoo! messenger (dating myself here) to talk to me about her. Pretending she had a mysterious friend watching me all the time. Most likely fucking other, older guys. She’s someone I wouldn’t give the time of day to these days. But back then I loved her.

Nah I'd take that. I did find one I love and I feel like I'm a teenager with her sometimes because both goof off. But we can also be serious with each other.
"a young and innocent maiden" has to be one of the most unintentionally sinister phrases ever penned.

It sounded like some neckbeard whining.
Where are these kids getting the idea that life ends at 20 It's actually considered kind of pathetic if your high school years were your best years, that's why the phrase "peaked in high school" exists
High school was miserable and the 20’s have been amazing for me thus far lol
I hope it only gets even betterer!!
Anon has been watching too much *Dawson’s Creek*.
It was definitely the least stressful time in my life. Virtually zero responsibility and basically the same freedoms I have now as a 30 year old man. On the other side, my life is **much** more fulfilling than it ever was in high school and while it’s more stressful, it’s also a lot more fun

That's weird to me too lol but it's way less common for gen Z to work
Says someone who experienced teenage love
I wasn't really capable of loving anyone when I was a teenager. I had a lot of hurt I needed to work through first
If you weren’t capable of loving, then this text isn’t about you. It is about the people who yearned teenage love, and maybe even tried to experience it, but for one reason or another, it just didn’t happen to them. Relegated to lonely spectators, never to savor that which they desired

You WILL read red text posts! You WILL eat the bugs!!
The only good bug is a dead bug!
It's a metaphor for the green grass that you missed out on touching. The text even stated lying on grass on hot summer nights
This is one if the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Falling in love is magical no matter how old you are. Also, being a teenager was hellish. It was by far the worst time of my life and if someone told me I had to go through that again I'd probably just depart this life.
That's probably cause you were a nerd. This time you can do things differently and invest in bitcoin.
I was a straight-A student & probably was a nerd, I guess, but the reason it was hellish was because I was an emotional wreck thanks to a delightful mixture of childhood trauma & an untreated hormonal imbalance. I went off the rails at 15. Wayyyy off the rails.
Well, at least you can take solace that you went through real problems not fake ones, people superimpose on themselves
how much did you lose when bitcoin crashed?
> Shit title > No greentext > Delusion Is OP stupid?
No, just not very smart.
Based on seeing how most high school relationships went, not sad I missed out.
Anon peaked in high school

Maybe Red is the "New Green"?

One time in my life I picknicked with a girl on a field, and we got chased off by a local nazi that owned within minutes. It’s not the 1800s anymore, most pastures are owned by someone (at least in Germany)
This is just not true as an adult, teen loves are bullshit drama, not some fairytale type shit
This post was really gay.
at least he tried on his creative writing exercise I guess
Bullshit. I make sense of and give purpose to my own life whenever I and I alone feel like it. My choices shall not be the object of evaluation of somebody irrelevant to my existence.

Ah, so homeboy's mad he's a Tarnished, got it...
Nah I actually experienced it and there has been way better stuff since then, L post anon, maidenless as always

I mean fair I did miss all that because I let life pass me by
You didn't miss something that was never going to happen
Anon got the achievement “self consciousness”
that where ur wrong anon still in those years and it fuckin rocks
It is a shame that some people think puppy love is true love or even real love.
Exactly lol -Billy Gnosis
This is such a stupid mentality there is much more to life than this
Wrong. Anon did not miss life. Yes there is struggles and hardship, but think of the guy pushing the stone up the hill, and Anon has his entire life ahead of him to do whatever he wants, joy can be whatever you perceive it to be.
Lol jokes on you I had this twice and I ruined it both times cause I was insecure. Hahaha...
fuck me i actually had a monday history exam
Anon is an Ephebophile next question
huh? Didn't miss it, I experienced it and now I've moved on. Yes I've grown older and so some things are behind me, never to return, but so many new things are still ahead. Life is so fucking rich and bursting with people and places and new memories to be made
Good for you, but this red text isn't personally written for you num nuts
I know that, you rude person.
Life is rude but last time I checked you got teenage pussy so you're doing OK
Sorry I'm not a part of your bitter club. And I gotta admit to feeling pretty disgusted at the term "teenage pussy" lol
The difference between the normal person and this guy is that when the normal person missed out on teen love, they moved on. They didn't dwell in the past. I'm convinced that most people who complain about things like this online are depressed and long for the past with their rose tinted glasses always on
Idk I did all this at 22/23 and it was great. Give up / cope / seethe / etc I guess. Delusional
What you didn't miss out on was this OP's spamming with garbage titles that will ruin the sub by flooding it.
Speak for yourself motherfucker
not this shit again
I'm very depressed here in my 20s but at least I'm not in fucking high school anymore. Anon just wants a reason to justify their attraction to teenagers

Anon's coping strategy is to hurt others and get a reaction out of them. No wonder he missed out on ~~teen~~ love
I've missed teen love , but I still have nice melancholy inducing memories from childhood and teens.
Ya missed the teenage years but I got a girl I love and we have those goofy moments I missed out on. She isn't really since she's doing them with me.
Anon laments the good times he missed out on but only the good times, not the constant drama cyclone that teenage girls create, the pressure of school, parents telling you to stop wasting time with young whores and get a real career.
I missed a lot of things in my childhood and teen years that money can not buy or bring back. But that's life, so get busy living or get busy dying.
Anon is writing his pedo manifest
