I know this sounds stupid, but how do I stop feeling old (details inside)?

Question

I'm 18, just finished school & I won't be going to college cz my grades or so bad, ill see what i'll do. but that's besides the point

the thing is i feel SO terribly old, i've closed this chapter of my life & im taking it very hard. besides i was a reject at school,no one talked to me & when i walked up to them they left. my 14 year old niece, looks so good & is very popular & she is happy most of the time, while i did anything to not go to school.
How do I stop feeling old? I mean it's terribly hard with the media pushing this image of eternal beauty, so than woman get plastic surgery, yet when they get it done people say it's fake, so what's the point!?

Answer 1

Don't worry about College, you can always get into a tech school.

You shouldn't wait to long though, get out there and do it.

You are not old! I would sacrifice a thousand virgins to be 18 again to the devil if I thought it would help. lol j/k

I think the pretty girls have more problems then the average girl.

Answer 2

Improve your self - esteem. I don't think you're feeling old, I think you're feeling depressed. Either get some books on self-esteem, or go to a professional. If you go with the books, start with Dr. Burns "Feeling Good" book. Good luck, hon, you've got a lot of good years ahead that you need to enjoy.

Answer 3

you know when i was feeling old it was because i was acting to mature. i forgot how to have fun. self confidence is important to. i gained a little bit of weight and didn't want to laugh or anything. and my mirror in the bathroom didn't help, it made me look bigger, so i got a new mirror. looking good gives you confidence and you can have more fun, hence feel younger. maybe also a hobbie, soomething you can be proud of. i use to write, even in a journal. i use to draw and it was great to. the more confidence the better.
