I've hit the age of 25 in no time

Post Reply New Topic

And I'll become 26 in few months.

It feels really fast, but the problem is I couldnt do anything worthy yet. I'm just like my 20 year old self. That hurts

What held me back? Of course aspergers and mental problems arising from that.

Now what? Am i here to watch my life wash away? Hell no, its time to get something done. I hope i won't write these same words 5 years later.

My rant is done
Thanks for reading

believe it or not, time flies faster the longer you're here on earth. get ready.

A lot of time aspies are late bloomers. For some the process of having to cope in a NT environment gets one used to the idea of having to work harder than the average person. If you can avoid the pitfalls of despair, depression, or drugs
you might just find yourself quite successful as you get older and wiser.

I agree with Blabby, time goes faster the older you get.

your questions are typical of a mid 20's adult. Believe it or not, we grow and change more in our 20s than we did from the ages of 10 to 20! There is a lot of stuff going on inside of you that will shape the way you face the world for the next 50 plus years. Lots of emotion sorting, lots of input being processed, you are accomplishing "finishing" your persona. Don't be surprised if 'everything' is not what you expected it to be and that you make major life changes in the next few years. Because a lot of things you once thought or believed, including a lot of "shoulds" will have changed for you. People's personalities in general don't start to settle until the reach the age of 30-35. By then you will have found direction and purpose, and many things will look different to you. Cut yourself some slack. the questions you are asking yourself right now are spot on, and the answers you are finding will carry you through the rest of your life. Take your time sorting it all, do your homework, both emotionally and in feeding your mind. Cheering you on, you are not alone!

TBH, as long as you can figure out what it is that you wanted to do and orient your environment and actions towards that, you'll probably be just fine. (Assuming you haven't set your sights on something dumb like trying to summit Mt. Everest on a unicycle, that is, it does need to be plausible)

Generally the way to do it is to decide where you want to go and set up habits that lead in that direction. Unfortunately, with anything with executive function challenges, that isn't always easy.

It is an uncomfortable feeling, but unless you get stuck feeling like this without taking any action, it's a healthy feeling to get you off your butt and doing something about it.
