Does anyone feel their youth is wasted?
I'm 34F soon going to be 35. Been single mostly all through life. Had two relationships but didn't work out in the end. Today when I looked in the mirror while trying a new dress, I thought to myself, any guy that sees me from now on will never see the youthful me that I was at say 28. The me that was better in the mirror than the current me. The me that had more spontaneous energy. All my youthful years have been wasted being single. Don't take this the wrong way, I love myself and i love my alone time. I'm the happiest when I'm in my own space but this feeling is hard to shake off as finding men ,good men is becoming increasingly difficult. Men my age want to be with mid 20 women and men older than me look like my uncles and behave like man childs. And nothing helps as every year i'm getting extremely selective and picky lol and would rather stay single than being in a shitty relationship. But that feeling of wasted youth oh my goodness!!
Edit : people asking me to get self esteem or therapy or that why m i single or if I was just sitting in my 20s , come on. Calm down..No I wasn't just sitting in my 20s. But I get it that this post came as I'm only centering my life around men. I'm honestly not. But there are days when I feel low as I'm also a die hard hopeless romantic at heart. That's it
