I know it’s a at best a useless mindset, as nothing will make me somehow magically get a new chance at those years. But it’s still a strong feeling and it’s still there.
I’m doing my best to push through it, I’m out there talking to people, but there’s usually a point where we are sharing personal anecdotes and I just feel my stomach tightening, as I barely have any of those. I have no experiences which means I have no identity which means I am uninteresting.
I think the only thing that you can do is go out and try to do shit now, hopefully a few years of it and you’ll have the anecdotes and that feeling doesn’t set in. Also you might be surprised what people find interesting tbh. When I’m forced into making conversation my go to is talking about moving out here without much of a plan and people always seem impressed and then start asking about where I used to live. You may not be giving yourself enough credit
At least you’re talking to people tho couldn’t be me hahaaaaa
