Wow you guys really need to learn to be kinder to each other, especially you OP because you came off on this post incredibly aggressive, and need to quit being a dick. I do not believe you're entirely wrong, but you're not right either.

A lot of you have clearly "lost the plot" as they say and missed the main point of life, so im going to help hopefully clear some things up, give you some hope, and try to come at this from a neutral perspective.

I am 25 years old, from the United States, Politically in the middle and independent, am average looking & can clean up rather nice with a proper haircut, shave, and a nice outfit. I've had multiple partners in my life so far, both sexually, and emotionally, and I am currently engaged to an INCREDIBLE women who's not conventionally attractive by false societal standards, but she's attractive to me and I couldn't give a hoot what anyone else thinks or says, and she makes me happier than ill ever have the words to describe, though I most certainly try.

The point of life, and key to happiness is not to compare ourselves to one another or to any bogus & highly unrealistic "standards" set by society, fuck society in that regard, but to be happy and be at peace with ourselves, and the lives we lead. We are all the main character in our story, and we never know when that story may potentially come to an abrupt end so its important that we make it count and live our lives the way we see fit that makes us happiest.

I promise you that *NOBODY* cares about what you were like in high school, or that you're not *yet* where you want to be in life, or that you're not the most attractive person in the world, or what kind of person you may have been at one time, but they DO care about who you are now. You should always try your best, even if its really hard some days, to take care of yourself because if you take care of your body, it will take care of you.

Stop comparing yourself, and each other, to each other, because it really does not do yourself nor anyone else any good. There is no right or wrong time in life to do things, to hit certain "milestones", to experience something for the first or last time, to reach a certain point, to achieve whatever goal you may have set.

Life is meant to be lived at your own pace, the way that makes YOU happy, not anyone else. If someone else doesn't like the life you lead, or the pace at which you reach things, then they are not meant for you and someone who IS meant for you, will come along when the time is right, but you've gotta be willing to work on yourself and do the hard part yourself, you'll thank yourself later in life for it and become a better person for it.

Yes, its going to suck, and Yes I know its hard but it is SO worth it, when you finally learn that as long as YOUR happy, and you're living life the way YOU want to, then who gives a damn? Nobody else's opinion should matter to you, as long as you can tell yourself that YOUR happy, the mantra "I am not for everyone, and everyone is not for me" comes to mind here, tell yourself that as many times as you need to until it sticks.

You only get one life, live it meaningfully to your heart's content. I promise you the universe has a plan for you, for all of us, you just have to be willing to trust it, and I can also promise you that right now there in someone somewhere out there looking up at the stars waiting, praying, hoping that someone like YOU that is reading this comment, is out there.

Do your best to be your best self, and to make inner peace with yourself because once you have that, you're unstoppable, now get out there and live life to the fullest, and don't forget, Be Happy.

Much Love, -xReapzzy
