Why do I feel like I am missing out on life?

Question

I've missed my childhood, missed my teenage years. I've been in 2 serious relationships starting when I was 18 and I'm now 22. I feel so old. I feel like I missed out on everything. I feel like if I break up I am too old to start a new relationship and find a good partner and future husband for myself because I'm afraid of being single, but also afraid of being with the wrong person just because I didn't allow myself time to find him properly.
Why do I feel old? On one hand, I have my whole life ahead of me, but on the other I feel like I've missed everything.

Answer

Sweetie I’m 41, every guy before my current guy that I started dating in October 2019, either used me, abused me, raped me, cheated on me you name it. It’s never too late. Growing up by five by the time I was 30 I would’ve been married with three kids and a stay at home mom. Clearly I wasn’t dealt that deck of cards. Two miscarriages with my last ex 5 years that cheated, cheating isn’t even the word, he was just a whore and slept with half of our state, I swear. Never been married, I never had children that actually came out. The guy am dating now, has children of his own and had a vasectomy years ago. Kids or not I’m OK. Marriage or not I’m OK I’m not in any rush. We took our time and got to know each other well before we even kissed. We started dating in the beginning of October, we didn’t even kiss until mid November and we didn’t have sex until mid December. It is never too late to do everything that you’ve always wanted to do. It’s never too late to go to Disneyland or Disney World or an amusement park or the aquarium or the zoo or blow bubbles and fly a kite in the park or swing on the swings, it’s never too late to do anything. Life is what you make it, if you aren’t happy, you change what you can, and what you can’t change, you learn to love, accept and embrace yourself flaws and all. If you want to travel when we are allowed to, go ahead, whatever your dreams are, there’s endless possibilities. Remember that being in a relationship, the number on the scale, the size of your pants, the number of followers that you have, none of those things complete you or define you or your happiness, you do. If you aren’t happy in your current relationship, you don’t have to stay. You don’t owe him anything, the only one you owe it to,  is yourself and your own happiness. Choose you, choose happiness, and choose it daily. Learn to love yourself, date yourself, appreciate yourself, and pamper yourself. You’ve got this.

Answer

Our minds tend to work against us sometimes, I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. But remember it can’t rain forever, it will all get better.

Answer

I was in 2 long term relationships from 16 up until 22. I felt exactly the same. I lived my life for 5 years, went on girls holidays, went out with my friends, dated a few people etc. But I didn’t meet anyone worth my time until I was 27, I’m now fully settled down and we’ve got a 6 month old baby and i’m 29. 
You definitely aren’t too old and you definitely haven’t missed out on anything, you can do all of that now. Xx
