I miss how it was socially acceptable to dye your hair retarded colors and wear bullshit like trenchcoats and converse sneakers. Now that I'm over 20 that shit just doesn't fly.

>>3675727 There's no reason you can't have love in your relationships now, Swam. Just stop having casual sex with everyone.

The care free attitude, the absence of responsibility, the vigour and enthusiasm for life, the ignorance of the mortality of my loved ones and myself.

As a young teenager in highschool, there's nothing I'm going to miss about this other. >tfw I can't make friends because parents work constantly and I can't go to parties or social gatherings > tfw I want to weight-lift but can't because parents can't pick me up at 4:30pm everday. > tfw i have a permit and could get my license but "insurance will go up" So I'm a lonely fuck, who currently can't do shit about it. I'd at least like to workout and get /fit/ so when i can socialize my confidence will be up and i can pick up women easier, but fuck.

There's a lot of things I miss. >Lack of responsibility >Horniness that makes fapping so awesome >Optimism resulting from the delusion that I would have a girlfriend sometime before leaving high school >Having the most vivid daydreams when bored >Discovering new hobbies like programming >Like >>3675768 said, being able to get away with retarded dress styles even though I couldn't do any of that because I couldn't afford it I want to go back so badly with my current knowledge and skills, not to relive the moments I loved, but to make up for all the shit I missed.

>>3675859 cont.. >tfw I probably won't be wrestling this season, even though I've wanted to for the last year. >>3675845 what do you miss about being a teenager, not a child. teenagers =/= children >The care free attitude, Had an existential crisis freshman year of high-school > the absence of responsibility, I have less responsibility than adults, I do agree. >the vigour and enthusiasm for life, Nope. I just want to read philosophy, lift weights, and fuck bitches. No enthusiasm for life whatsoever. >the ignorance of the mortality of my loved ones and myself. ? Yearly car accidents and juniors/seniors dying.

I dont miss very much except for the belief that one day a girl I liked would like me for me. In my 30's now and I can't delude my self that anyone will ever want me.

The fact that I'm 22 and already look like an ugly balding old man and never got to experience the typical teenage (or college) adventures. I hoped to be able to use my mid to late 20s for that and only about 7 months ago I realized by the time I'm 24 I'll be bald.

I miss being popular. Well, I'm getting pretty popular at work too, so its all good.

>>3675878 Obviously I was. But I was fortunate to have grown up without anyone especially close to me dying. It's one thing to be aware that everyone dies eventually, another to be confronted with that reality first hand.

Nothing, because my teenage years were GOD fucking AWFUL. Really awful. The only thing I miss about my teens is that I was younger and had a lot less responsibilities with a megatonne of stress instead of an adult(20) that has those same burdens and much more as well as having even more responsibilities. Now, if you want to talk about childhood(<12) than that is a completely different story... Still had its really crappy moments though.

Easy homework, barely had to study for school. I miss the humor, misadventures and easy going bullshit that was high school. Say what you will, college is fucking tough.

I was unaware of how fucking awkward I was, and therefor was able to make friends despite my horrible awkwardness because I was still outgoing. Once I became self aware, everything went down hill.

>>3676248 You are delusional. You don't think you are deserving of love so you rejected the one guy who did love you and instead seek affection from the wrong places i.e. casual sex with loose men. PROTIP: Just because your dad molested you as a kid, doesn't mean someone can't love you genuinely.

I'm 18, but I wish I had talked to girls more in highschool. I got a gf my junior year and am still with her but now I'm a freshman in college. Now I'll have casual conversations with girls(ogle a few occasionally) and if I ever develop friendship with a chick it'd be pretty cool to me, but as long as I'm in a relationship I'm not going to do anything that I would feel compromises that relationship. So with that being said... considering getting out of the relationship. I'll be considering breaking up and then I see her again and I realize I've missed her and think about all the good qualities she has, then when I'm away from her I think about the opposite. It's as if in my case, absence does the exact opposite of making my heart grow fonder. I don't know if this makes any sense.. but yeah.

I miss all the real things we did in the real world with real people in real life. >Did I mention real? The internet was only for universities, the gov and scientists back then. Having things to look forward to in the foreseeable future also.

Let's see. As a teenager, I was a bit lonely except for the other nerds, never felt like I fit in, and generally wasn't very happy. I never dated anyone. I had no money. Now I'm a graduate student at a top tier school studying Japanese politics with the intent to work at the international level, I speak fluent moonspeak, and have a hot wife. And I have more money that teenage me would know what to do with. Sooooo......nothing? High five with other Anon who wishes they could go back in time for just 10 minutes and tell teenage you that things are gonna be ok?

I miss a couple of very good friends I lost contact with. The good times, carefree attitude, innocence, and mayor lack of self awareness.

I don't miss anything because my teen years were shit. Other than the lack of responsibilities and obligations, I couldn't be happier that they're behind me. I do, however, carry massive amounts of shame and regret for not living to the fullest of my capability back then. I regret being a miserable, shut-in, faggot that ran from their problems instead of facing them head-on. But whatareyagonnado?
